Chapter 88: Xingtu Series Robotic Arm is officially launched! (1st update)
However, when Qu Qiongying was looking forward to Lin Feng's future development, Jarvis suddenly spoke.

"Ma'am, Mr. Lin Feng has a task for you to perform."

"Mission? What mission?"

Qu Qiongying showed a puzzled expression.

“This task is about mass production of robotic arms and marketing preparations.

Previously, Mr. Lin Feng saw a series of news about occupational diseases and wanted to launch some robotic arms to replace humans to perform jobs that are very harmful to humans.

According to Lin Feng, the price of these robotic arms will only make a 20% profit and exist as a charity.

As for the price of normal robotic arms, it will be very high, and Mr. Lin Feng is not planning to sell robotic arms on a large scale.

Because Mr. Lin Feng is afraid that mass production of robotic arms will cause ordinary workers to lose their jobs. "

"Is it like this?"

After hearing what Jarvis said, Qu Qiongying showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Then she frowned, because if this was really the case, then Xingtu Technology’s profits would not be high.

But when she thought that the birth of such a robotic arm would help many families avoid tragedies, Qu Qiongying felt relieved.

Sometimes people should not live for money, but also do something for the world.

Since Lin Feng has such a kind heart, how could she stop him?
Moreover, a 20% profit is not low, enough for Xingtu Technology to break even or even make a small profit.

So, the next thing was decided, and the scientific researchers recruited by Xingtu Technology also started the simplified research work of the Xingtu Z1 robotic arm.

The reason why the robotic arm needs to be simplified is that many jobs in the world do not require such high processing control accuracy.

So they naturally need to simplify the robotic arm, reduce the manufacturing difficulty and cost at the expense of precision, while also increasing its size, thereby adding new uses in disguise.

However, thanks to Jarvis' disguised 'intelligent assisted simulation research and development software' and the huge computing power of the supercomputer, the robotic arms of these researchers have made their work much easier.

However, as they came into contact with the 'intelligent assisted simulation research and development software', they naturally couldn't avoid exclamations of surprise, but that's a story for later.

……

Two months later, time quietly came to mid-September 2014.

As time passed and the news about the artificial intelligence Jarvis and the Xingtu robotic arm on the domestic and foreign Internet completely calmed down, Xingtu Technology quietly issued a charity announcement.

This charity announcement first tells everyone that several Xingtu robotic arms will be officially launched today, and at the same time it is to avoid the birth of new patients with serious occupational diseases such as pneumoconiosis.

As long as the company purchasing the robotic arms is using them in jobs that seriously endanger human health, it can purchase the Xingtu series robotic arms at a very low price.

In this regard, as soon as this announcement came out, it naturally caused a huge heated discussion.

On Weibo and other major BBS forums on the Internet, netizens have different views on the developments of Xingtu Technology. Some have expressions of sudden enlightenment, while others look disdainful.

Those who looked enlightened thought they had discovered the purpose of Xingtu Technology's crazy advertising two months ago. It turned out that the reason was to promote their robotic arms.

Those who are disdainful think that Raymond Lam’s so-called charity announcement is a joke and his real purpose is to sell robotic arms.

However, when they saw the price of the Xingtu series of robotic arms, they all couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking that Xingtu Technology was too arrogant.

Because Xingtu Technology’s robotic arms are too expensive, let’s not talk about the Xingtu Z1 robotic arm, let’s just talk about those simplified robotic arms with average control accuracy.

Although they have the same control and processing accuracy, the price of the Xingtu robotic arm is 1% to % more expensive than other products. The top-of-the-line Xingtu Z robotic arm is even more expensive.

And the most important thing is that after purchasing the robotic arm, because it uses cloud-based artificial intelligence to remotely control the robotic arm, you naturally have to pay the artificial intelligence service fee and Internet fee.

It can be said that as long as people do a little calculation, they will find that using Xingtu Technology's robotic arms is not cost-effective at all, and it is better to buy robotic arms from other companies.

Unless they buy it at a charitable price and use it specifically for jobs that are extremely harmful to humans, it would be better to buy a robotic arm from another company.

As a result, the Internet was full of comments mocking Xingtu Technology. How dare they sell this robotic arm at such a high price? They really mistook their Xingtu brand for Pingguo brand. They were not optimistic about the sales of Xingtu series robotic arms.

Of course, whether they are optimistic or not has little to do with Xingtu Technology. After all, Lin Feng didn’t want to sell those robotic arms in the first place.

If it were not for the desire to reduce the birth of patients with occupational diseases such as pneumoconiosis and avoid the separation of wives and children after their families lose their labor force, it would be saving countless families in disguise.

But Lin Feng doesn't want to launch the robotic arm, a product that will take away workers' jobs. After all, compared to making money, he cares more about his own reputation and fame.

……

"Xingtu Technology is ridiculous and stupid. I don't think you can make back the cost of overseas advertising even if you sell robotic arms for ten years!"

Wang Gaoyuan made a sarcastic sound, and then there was a knock on the office door.

"what happened?"

Wang Gaoyuan frowned and asked his secretary.

"Boss Wang, this is bad. Tik Tok is trying to find our Huoshan Video UP host, and they just launched a new news app called Today's Hot Topics."

Upon hearing this, Wang Gaoyuan's face changed drastically.

I didn't expect that Bilibili would be so ruthless. They have clearly dominated 90% of the short video market with Douyin.

Now they are even trying to snatch the UP host of their Volcano Video, which is simply leaving them no way to survive.

And the most important thing is that Bilibili has also launched a news software called Today’s Hot Topics, which also means that Bilibili will have a direct competitive relationship with their parent company Toutiao!
Thinking of this, a trace of panic appeared in Wang Gaoyuan's eyes. He had already sensed his fate.

Sure enough, Zhang Erming called next.

"Wang Gaoyuan, what on earth are you doing? Why did you offend Lin Feng and force them to launch the Today's Hot Topics app?!"

Zhang Erming scolded Wang Gaoyuan so harshly that Wang Gaoyuan didn't know what to do for a moment, because he had indeed created a big enemy for the parent company.

In the past few months, the two major portals, Penguin and New Wolf, have had a huge impact on Toutiao's business because they acquired Lin Feng's second-generation Douyin recommendation algorithm system.

Now there is another hot news website called Today’s Hot News from Bilibili on the market, which means that the pressure on Toutiao has become even greater.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Erming, who knew that some of the troubles were caused by Wang Gaoyuan, went straight to the culprit and asked Wang Gaoyuan to give him an explanation.

"boss Zhang……"

Wang Gaoyuan was about to say something, but Zhang Erming didn't give him a chance. Zhang Erming's cold voice came through the phone.

"Wang Gaoyuan, I think you are no longer suitable to continue to serve as the president of Huoshan Video. You should be prepared."

As Zhang Erming spoke, Wang Gaoyuan's face suddenly turned pale.

As expected, things came to the worst end and he was forced to resign!
Although he also owns a small stake in Volcano Video, he has no way to reverse the crisis.

And the worst thing is that because of his bad performance, labels such as "reckless", "a disaster star", "not knowing the priorities", "emotional" etc. will be attached to him.

This also means that his future career path will be much more difficult and bumpy than before. Thinking of this, Wang Gaoyuan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and he hated Lin Feng in his heart.

But he didn't think about what he had done in the first place. If he hadn't taken the initiative to cause trouble and let Lin Feng honestly gain experience points to upgrade Jarvis, how would Lin Feng remember who he was?

He brought this upon himself. If he had done something wrong, he would have to bear the consequences.

……

On the other side, in a military factory with a digital code.

At this time, several experts in the fields of mechanics and artificial intelligence are testing the Xingtu Z1 robotic arm.

No one knows how much trouble their testing will bring to Lin Feng.
