Need for little hackers

Chapter 181 Genesis ([-]) Opening a Milk Tea Shop

204,

New Year
At the end of the three-day holiday, Kuang Guangmei, the group buying project director of Life Online, received an email from Qi Na. The content was very simple. For all Life Online members, you can drink for free at Meike Milk Tea Shop at No. 18 Jiangjun Lane.

No contact number, no pictures, no time, how can such group buying news be released?

She cautiously sent a reply to Qi Na, and she received a reply from Qi Na 1 minute later: No phone number, I will take pictures by myself, and the time will last forever until the store closes.In the last sentence, it is required to gather the strength of the whole company for promotion.In half an hour, I'm going to see this message on the website.

While asking Dai Xiaolan to have a meeting to discuss, taking advantage of Dai Xiaolan's phone call, she rushed to No. 18 Jiangjun Lane with her mobile phone, which is where Qilin Wings is located.

The east corner of Kirin Wings has been transformed into a milk tea shop, with an orange decoration style, eye-catching and warm.She didn't have time to think about it. She took more than a dozen photos of the milk tea shop from two angles, and hurried back to the company to discuss the work content with Dai Xiaolan, but Dai Xiaolan told her that the plan had been written, and she could submit it for publication after putting the photos on it. .

The project director didn't have time to catch his breath, so he connected his mobile phone to the computer, then exported the picture, and used PS to simply process the size and size of the picture, and then clicked skillfully with the mouse, and released the group buying information.

She was very surprised about this matter, a small milk tea shop, why did CTO Qi Na and deputy general manager Dai Xiaolan personally ask, is it their small business?

But could they be worth such a small thing?

Thinking of this, she is particularly envious of Dai Xiaolan, just because she came to Life Online relatively early, and it is said that the company gave her a lot of shares. Seeing that the influence of Life Online is getting bigger and bigger, and the listing time is just around the corner, she will be a billionaire sister at that time It's a pity that I'm not a man, but I haven't seen her interested in that man. Could it be a lesbian, or I'll just let her go and let her go.

Kuang Guangmei was thinking wildly. Every time she came back to work during the holidays, she was always busy for a long time, and all kinds of emails and complaints had to be dealt with in a timely manner.What she hates the most is communicating with branches all over the world. There is always a feeling of wanting to die why these idiots don't understand.

Although she has the title of director, she has only three soldiers under her command. She just exported the data for New Year's Day and wanted to conduct an analysis with her subordinates, but unexpectedly found that they were not in their seats. There are only a few people in the space, and the three or two colleagues who entered the office were all holding a cup of milk tea, talking while walking, dancing and cheering.

Kuang Guangmei asked curiously, "Why did you get the free milk tea? Is it delicious?"

Those colleagues widened their eyes and shouted excitedly: "Super cool."

A financial colleague ran out excitedly, found Kuang Guangmei, and said excitedly: "Let's go, let's go and have a look together."

Kuang Guangmeixin said that drinking a cup of free milk tea is so exciting?As for being so positive?
She was dragged down to the fourth floor by her financial colleagues, and found that the outside of the office building was already crowded with people.There were bursts of cheers: "Oh, oh, oh~~~"

Kuang Guangmei was dumbfounded: the free cup of milk tea was surrounded by crowds this year.

A gust of cold wind hit, and the excited people did not change at all. Kuang Guangmei clamped her coat tightly, and followed her colleagues to squeeze into the crowd. With the help of a male colleague she knew well, she stood in a flower bed, condescending, and she saw clearly. The milk tea shop has been surrounded by water.

A huge arm stretched out from the milk tea shop, and the metal shiny hand was holding a packaged milk tea. It moved very slowly, as if looking for the owner, suddenly stopped, and slowly lowered, the milk tea landed on a in the hands of customers.

The customer was also an employee of Lifeline, and he shouted excitedly, and the people around him also cheered.

Kuang Guangmei's whole body was stiff, and she felt as if she was about to stop breathing.

That is a mechanical arm, serving people who buy milk tea? !
A colleague from the finance department shook her desperately, and shouted: "Look, look, there is no one there. You use an IPDA to order, and it will take the initiative to deliver the milk tea to you. Look, look , look, there are one, two, three, three robot hands in total."

There is no need for her to say, Kuang Guangmei can see everything clearly, three robotic arms, no, actually six robotic arms, three of them are responsible for ordering, holding an IPAD in their hands, usually the IPAD will be sent to the orderer In front of you, enter the password sent by Life Online, or show the QR code on the mobile client.Then the IPAD is sent to the next orderer. At the same time, the remaining three robotic arms will take the packaged milk tea from the window for the customer who has entered the password.

Surprisingly, these six robotic arms will often switch jobs, and the IPAD is passed repeatedly.It seems to reduce fatigue just like humans.

The small window for taking milk tea is pushed open from time to time, and bottles of milk tea are pushed out in order.

Kuang Guangmei suddenly realized, how do those robotic arms identify each customer?After all, the size and type of milk tea cups of each customer are not the same. How do they distinguish these customers and deliver milk tea to them accurately?And now that the queuing order is so chaotic, how do they identify the order and guide customers?
There are cameras under the signboard of Meike Milk Tea. Kuang Guangmei counted them carefully, and there are as many as twelve.Are they really identified by cameras?
She once heard HR Song Rui mention that the company's CTO, Qi Na, had developed a virtual fitting software, which used an ordinary camera to identify customers. She had also used this software herself, and it felt super magical.

So at this moment, she immediately thought of whether to use a camera for face recognition!
But in fact, most of the people at the scene were watching the excitement, and they didn't realize the technology behind this milk tea shop—the mechanical arm is only the appearance, and the coherent operation of the internal system is the most terrifying.

It's amazing.Kuang Guangmei's admiration from the bottom of her heart is admiration for the flexible robotic arm as well as the customer identification and disposal system.

Kuang Guangmei didn't have any thoughts at this time, and the chaotic team moved forward slowly. Everyone was operating their mobile phones, submitting milk tea orders to Life Online, and waiting for the moment when they stood in front of the milk tea shop.Kuang Guangmei stood at the end of the line and submitted her order. When she saw that the order was submitted successfully, she was excited and excited.

Jiangjun Lane was completely paralyzed before ten o’clock, that is, less than half an hour after the life online group buying advertisement was put up, more and more people were watching, taking photos, sending Weibo, WeChat, QQ groups, and QQ space , sent all kinds of sns, and people came from all directions after hearing the news, so the entire Jiangjun Lane was impassable, and even the vehicles that were originally parked here could not be driven out.The drivers were forced to call 122 for help.

The crowd of onlookers finally became serious at two o'clock in the afternoon, and even spread to the main road, interfering with the traffic on the main road.

As a result, many drivers heard such a road condition on the traffic broadcast: Jiangjun Lane caused people to gather due to special reasons, causing serious congestion in Jiangjun Lane and nearby roads. Drivers are advised to detour.

At first hearing such a sentence, many people thought that there was a group incident, but with the viral spread of the Internet, more and more people knew that there was a robot milk tea shop in Jiangjun Lane.This statement is too vulgar and simplistic to have such an impact.

However, after a large number of pictures and videos of the people on the scene were sent to the Internet, after several rounds of dissemination, through the dissemination of Weibo and WeChat, the entire Internet boiled.

"incredible"

"Is this a sci-fi movie?"

"which movie is this?"

This is a question commonly asked by netizens, who think it is a viral marketing of a certain movie, but more and more information from ordinary netizens is constantly being confirmed. It is confirmed that the whole world seems to be quiet for a moment at a certain moment.

The life online website has unique conditions, and two videos were quickly launched. One is the operation status of the robotic arm in the laboratory, and the other is the test run video after the assembly was completed last night.

The release of these videos further fully demonstrated the operation and performance of the robotic arm, and also confirmed the authenticity of the robotic arm from the side.

At the same time, it also admitted that the robotic arm is closely related to the life online website.

Careful people soon discovered that there was a small subtitle on the video, which read: "@吉麦之迹" This is a Weibo account. People were overjoyed by this discovery, and quickly followed this Weibo account. In just one Within hours, this Weibo had over one million fans.

But this Weibo didn't have a word or a word, it seemed like an empty account that came out of nowhere.

The spread efficiency of new media is so fast that traditional media are not far behind. CCTV's news channel did an inexplicable picture news for the first time, and the local Ningnan TV station Jiangnan Satellite TV's live broadcast trucks drove over, but they were blocked by a huge number of people. The onlookers blocked it, and they couldn't get near the milk tea shop.

They had to turn to the police.

The police were afraid that there would be too many crowds watching the news, and the people who heard the news continued to gather from all directions. If the scene got out of control, even if someone shouted, there was a thief, or a scream, there might be a stampede, and the consequences would be unimaginable. The police chief's hat must be lost.

So the police set up a cordon on the surrounding roads to prevent anyone from entering, and controlled the situation by only exiting but not entering.

At the same time, units in nearby office buildings are required to recall their employees immediately and not to watch.

And then they ran into trouble. They didn't know the existence of Qilin Wings, or they knew, but they didn't know the relationship between Qilin Wings and today's milk tea shop.

In other words, they don't know who the milk tea shop belongs to!But it does not prevent them from making a decision: let the milk tea shop close immediately.

But here lies the problem, how to solve it?
First of all, they asked Life Online to deal with it, but they were flatly rejected by Life Online. There was no reason, no explanation, and only one word: no.

What is the current status of Lifeline in southern Ningnan? Senior city officials have inspected it many times, and they must mention Lifeline every time they speak at a meeting, treating them as the only remaining fruits of Ningnan in the new economic tide.Those who didn't know the situation thought that this website was run by the Municipal Party Committee!

So the police found the headquarters of the Meike Milk Tea chain store and asked them to come forward. The headquarters of Meike Milk Tea held an unprecedented meeting, and the content of the meeting was whether to cooperate with the police.

The advantage of not cooperating is that the milk tea shop can continue to operate and get higher exposure opportunities. This kind of free advertising does not happen every year. Their franchise hotline is finally as hot as their customer service hotline on this day.The boss's smiling face was already stiff, and he couldn't move anymore.

The final result of the meeting was to take the initiative to report to the contact person of Qilin Wing. After getting the approval of Qilin Wing, he spit out a name to the police: Gao Qinglin, and his mobile phone number.

The policemen were overjoyed, but the answer they got was: "Maintaining social order is your business. Will you bear the loss caused by the inability to operate?"

Then Gao Qinglin hung up the phone.

The dumbfounded police officers turned around and looked for industrial and commercial cooperation, and found that this milk tea shop was opened by a foreigner named Li Wenwen, so they called her, and Li Wenwen answered them very happily: "Maintaining social order is your business, and it cannot be opened." Will you bear the losses caused?"

Not only the content of the answer is the same as Gao Qinglin, but also the tone and attitude are exactly the same, and the rhythm of hanging up the phone is exactly the same.

Communication with the milk tea shop failed, but there were so many onlookers, they had to honestly summon more police officers to maintain order, and began a large-scale clearance, but for the people who bought milk tea with verification codes and passwords, They also had to avoid.

Gradually, the crowd of onlookers decreased, and the reporters who were blocked outside were finally able to get close to the milk tea shop and appreciate the dreamlike shopping experience brought by the mechanical arm.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and Jiangnan Satellite TV made a live broadcast for the first time, rebroadcasting this shocking scene that cannot be described in words.

The short 10-minute broadcast made Jiangnan Satellite TV's ratings instantly rise to the first in the country, and then CCTV's news channel also began to borrow Jiangnan Satellite TV's resources to start broadcasting.

People in front of the TV saw people queuing up in a dark crowd, and the flexible movement of the six mechanical arms.The camera even captured the changes in the joints of the metal fingers up close.

Suddenly, in front of the camera lens, in the movement trajectory of the mechanical arms, the six mechanical arms stopped moving. For a moment, many people thought that the machine was broken, but the next moment, the six mechanical arms all made V-sign gestures.After a brief second, the original trajectory was restored.

It seems that a naughty student is watching the camera and making small movements on purpose.Full of humanity and mischief.

The people in front of the TV gasped, some of them looked more poisonous, and uttered such a sentence: Is the age of robots coming?
The reporters and the police finally found Qilin Zhiyi, the real owner of the milk tea shop the next day, so the reporters asked for an interview, but they were stopped by the security guards hired by the company. , Hired with a high salary.All of them are big and round, with gloomy eyes, and they don't mind at all that the other party is an uncrowned king, and their attitude is even a bit arrogant, regardless of the complaints of the reporters.

The police came to the door and asked them to cooperate with the work and suspend the business of the milk tea shop.The reason is to protect social order.

But the answer they got was simple: we are operating legally, there is no problem, and we will not stop doing business.

Just as the policemen became tyrannical and slapped the table to yell and curse, the high-ranking city official called the chief of police, so the attitude of these policemen changed 180 degrees, apologizing, while bowing their heads and running away in desperation.

What is unexpected is that the milk tea shop in Jiangjun Lane has not been dealt with properly. On the bustling pedestrian street of Confucius Temple, which is less than seven kilometers away, another Meike milk tea shop has opened. Unlike other milk tea shops, only A pick-up port, and then there are two mechanical arms moving.

It took less than 3 minutes from the time when the installation and commissioning personnel left, from the opening of the business to being surrounded by crowds, the road near the Confucius Temple was blocked, and the scene was no less than that of the Lantern Festival.All the young salespeople in the shops on both sides skipped work and started queuing up to buy milk tea.

The police at the scene grabbed the walkie-talkie in fear and kept calling for reinforcements, for reinforcements.The terrified 110 dispatcher thought he had encountered some terrifying bandit.

The exhausted police had no choice but to divide into two groups and spread their strength to maintain the order of the Confucius Temple.

A large number of visitors to and from the Confucius Temple are tourists. If you encounter this scene, you will easily miss it. As a result, with the hard work of the police, the entire road of the Confucius Temple is occupied by people queuing up, and the long queue moves forward slowly.

At the same time, the technicians of Kirin Wings began to deploy robotic arms throughout the city. The first step was to modify the existing express boxes in independent spaces.

The layout is the same as the milk tea shop in Confucius Temple. The main entrance is completely closed, and there is only one exit with multiple folds.Unlike the milk tea shop, the robotic arm only operates in the interior space, not the exterior.

The interior is not simply two robotic arms, but also a night-vision video recognition capture system, which can continue to identify packages at night without lighting.

The Qilin Wing Company called this Qilin Dorm.Meaning there is very little space.

Also in Life Online, the logistics system personnel of Life Online began to instill and guide new logistics solutions to all sellers.

Kylin Wing Logistics has established a logistics distribution center from Ningnan to Nanjiang, Yancheng, Xishan, Gusu, and finally to Shanghai. However, Kylin Wing does not directly deliver in these areas, but cooperates with a number of logistics companies Start cooperation to help them distribute, and at the same time, in some office buildings and universities in these cities, Qilin Studios have been deployed one after another.

These logistics companies soon discovered that there are more and more express mails in the life line, and what they need to do every day is to transfer the express mail between the two cities, and finally stuff the express mail into the unicorn cabin. The large number of personnel in the logistics company is valuable There have also been changes.

There is no need to pick up the package. After the sender makes an appointment, they only need to send it to Qilin Dou, and the robotic arm will paste the barcode on the package.

There is no need to pay cash, all operations are through the life online system, and so is the payment.

What their couriers need to do is to carefully maintain key customers and provide them with more comprehensive and high-quality services.

Of course, these are the large-scale pre-launch tests conducted by Kylin Wings and Life Online in dense urban areas.

In the background, Life Online is still promoting the construction of a large logistics platform.

And Kirin Wings has built an express delivery system in the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

These are things that ordinary people will not notice. What ordinary people prefer is the news about the deployment of Kirin Wings in one milk tea shop in one city every day.
