Chapter 970: Good afternoon, Wei An (super large chapter asking for the moon)(1/2)
Chapter 970: Lips and teeth are inseparable. Good afternoon, Wei An (please vote for the super large chapter)
The flickering lights dispelled the silent darkness, and they were turned on one by one, shining in the brilliant and bright hall.
A pair of arms covered with smooth muscle lines stretched out from the rich liquid and from the silver-gray metal box.
Then the hands placed on the edge of the metal box, exerting slight force, and as the liquid separated, a head with wet hair covering its cheeks appeared in the light.
"Good afternoon, Wei An."
The screen next to it lit up, and a little girl in a white dress appeared on the screen.
A maid with a delicate appearance and a curvy figure slowly walked over from the side and handed over a brand new towel and a new suit.
He Ao quickly wiped his body with a towel and changed into clothes.
A high-end screen on the side flickered and turned into a complete mirror shape, illuminating his figure.
The maid who had walked behind He Ao took another towel to dry He Ao's hair. At the same time, she opened her palm to reveal a hair dryer and quickly dried He Ao's hair.
"My hair is a little too long."
He Ao looked at his appearance in the mirror.
Wei An's originally short hair has turned into ear-length hair.
Although the body changes very slowly in the 'sleeping' state, it does not seem to be completely unchanged.
"Do I need to cut it off?"
Eve on the screen beside asked.
"Let's fix it."
He Ao looked at his appearance in the mirror and said slowly.
This hair is neither long nor short. If it were longer, it could be tied into a ponytail. Now it looks like it can only be trimmed.
The maid on the side opened her fingers, and stretched out two slender blades from her index and middle fingers. She placed her hand on He Ao's hair and quickly flipped it.
In just a few dozen seconds, He Ao's hair style returned to the energetic short hair style at the beginning.
He Ao looked back and glanced at the maid who had put the blade back into her fingers and was carefully cleaning the area covered with imitation leather. He smiled and said, "I remember when I woke up last time, this was not there. Did you do this?"
"At the request of the product department, it was made with reference to Menshu Group's housekeeping type 2 maid robot. After data analysis, it was assembled with ready-made product components. Only the appearance was completely designed by me."
The little girl in the white dress on the screen answered quickly.
“It’s done pretty well.”
He Ao glanced at the maid robot and smiled.
The whole robot has a very high degree of simulation, and only some of its actions have a mechanical feel. If you don't look carefully, it can almost look real.
"However, the cost of this robot is very high, the maintenance cost is also very high, and it cannot be used for a long time. After research and analysis, we found that the market is too small.
"Currently, the market with the highest acceptance of fully simulated robots is the adult products market. Ordinary users are more concerned about the functionality of domestic robots rather than whether they look like humans."
Eve's gentle voice continued, "And according to the uncanny valley effect, objects that are closer to humans but not human will give humans a great sense of fear - so the group has turned to developing more functional household robot products that can be mass-produced.
, the only prototype that is here right now.”
"The group has never made similar products before,"
The ordinary robot on the side handed over a cup of coffee. He Ao picked up the coffee and took a sip. "It's understandable to take some detours."
He walked to the elevator and looked at the slowly opening elevator door, "Are Danny and Lena here?"
"They're all here,"
Eve quickly replied, "Do you need me to contact them?"
"Let them go to the conference room on the top floor, as well as the leader of the mercenary group Fes."
He Ao drank up his coffee in one gulp, picked up the bracelet handed over by the robot on the side, put it on his hand, and walked into the elevator. "By the way, send me all the recent reports of the group."
The elevator door closes, automatically selects the top floor, and begins to rise rapidly.
This elevator seems to have been modified, from the original all-metal one to a transparent metal and glass structure.
After passing through a dark area, with the sunset shining through the glass into the elevator, He Ao turned around and looked at the city outside the glass window.
Neat streets, brand new street lights, vehicles coming and going, smiling pedestrians on the streets, rumbling machines and huge tower cranes in the distance.
As the elevator continued to rise, more and more scenes entered He Ao's eyes.
The dilapidated bridges in the past have been renovated, the old residential areas have been given a new look, the dark corridors are filled with street lights, and high-rise buildings have been built in the dilapidated slums.
The mobile floating car shuttles between dense buildings. Although the passengers on the car are tired, they are also excited and laughing and exchanging something.
Ding--
The elevator reached the top and the elevator door opened. He Ao turned around and looked at the slowly opening elevator door.
An old figure was already standing at the door. He looked at He Ao and said slowly, "Master Wei'an."
"Danny."
He Ao looked at the old man in front of him, stretched out his hand, and hugged the old man.
After a brief hug, He Ao let go and looked at the transparent glass in the elevator behind him, "Whose idea was this?"
"Lena's,"
Old Danny said with a smile, "She said she hoped you could see the changes in this city every time you wake up, so she made the elevator translucent."
"not bad,"
He Ao glanced back at the elevator, then completely crossed the elevator door and walked with Danny, "How are you doing?"
"Our capital chain is still not optimistic, but generally speaking, the problem has been alleviated to a certain extent and the situation is gradually getting better."
Danny replied slowly,
"The 'friends' of St. Jon have helped us alleviate some of the reconstruction pressure, but most areas of St. Jon still need to be rebuilt. Fortunately, some food production has recovered, and we have fully achieved basic food self-sufficiency.
"Wente City Industrial Group has also established contact with us. They are willing to purchase large quantities of our food and industrial products, and are willing to accept our investment to help them build new industrial production lines. Cooperation there has already begun.
“But Winter City is still too far away, spanning almost half of the federation, and it still needs construction, so it’s difficult to be particularly effective in helping us in the short term.
"However, in the final analysis, the group has recovered. The debt problems of employees have been alleviated, and their spending power has also been improved. The reconstruction of St. John has created a large number of jobs, and the city of Winter has brought
With new markets and opportunities, consumption in Limen City and Rock City has also entered a period of rapid recovery,"
At this moment, the two of them had reached the conference room. He Ao opened the door of the conference room and walked in with Old Danny.
Danny continued to say as he walked forward,
"Although there is still a backlog of industrial products, the situation is getting better quickly. Even though it is very difficult and the group is still short of money, the huge economic machine is still running between us and the cities of our allies."
"What about the outside?"
He Ao asked in a low voice.
"The external situation is a little more complicated."
Old Danny sighed, "Lina is in charge over there now."
Click——
There was a slight sound of the door opening behind him, and He Ao turned around.
At this time, the woman with a ponytail also pushed open the conference room door, stuck her head out and looked inside, and happened to see He Ao who had turned around.
She was stunned for a moment, then she walked in quickly with surprise on her face, "Mr. Wei An?"
"Very good, we are talking about you again this time,"
He Ao looked at Lina with a smile, "How is the external situation of the group now?"
"I'm afraid the external situation is a bit bad,"
After hearing He Ao's question, Lina thought for a moment and said slowly, "Those large consortiums discovered our 'trade alliance', and as we grew bigger, we also had some direct competition with those large consortiums.
"The Ives Space System Group began to use their influence to make some mercenary groups and cities under their control boycott the Cain-type mechas we sold, and began to restrict our purchase of their weapons.
"Moshanto Grain Industry began to block our grain exports.
"Although we have also joined the Grain Industry Alliance and inherited part of their sales network when we acquired some of the properties of the Kjet Consortium, Moshanto Grain Industry is now consciously using its influence to undermine our sales.
network, restricting our food exports.
"It seems like they want to force us to spit out the city of St. John.
"Rock City has never joined the mining monopoly alliance and has encountered malicious competition from the mining alliance headed by Copes Mining.
“They are engaging in a price war with the Miners’ Mutual Aid Association in the market, and they are using some of the municipal governments they control to deviate.
“At present, apart from the ore sold to us, Rock City’s ore sales in other cities are not very good.
"Although Rockville Energy Group suffered a big loss last time, it seems to have taken a serious step now and is completely blocking the energy mine sales channels in Winter City.
"The market we have now is still too small and cannot absorb the production capacity of Winter City and Rock City. We even have some problems selling our own products,"
Speaking of this, Lina paused and looked at He Ao, "Also, people from the Nord Financial Group came here not long ago and wanted to visit you, but they left before they could wait for you."
