Chapter 528 See if I don’t kill you!

"My dear, unmanned supermarkets are a new thing after all. I think it's better to arrange some people. What if someone comes to rob the supermarket?" Yu Jingqiu looked at Li Zetian and asked worriedly.

Li Zetian smiled and felt that what his wife said made sense. The key point was that there were many people losing their jobs because of him, and it was inevitable that some people would have revenge.

Li Zetian thought for a while and finally said: "Well, we can arrange a few security guards for each store in the early stage!"

But, having said that, the unmanned supermarket has facial recognition function, so no one should be stupid enough to rob the supermarket.

Of course, robbers can mask their faces, but if they don’t rob banks or gold stores, why should they take such a big risk to rob supermarkets? There is no cash in the unmanned supermarket, only merchandise. How much can a robber take away?

In case they were really robbed, Li Zetian felt that he had to make some preparations to catch these robbers with thunderous means and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys!

Kronos Industries can develop micro-robotic bees, which can be hidden in unmanned supermarkets. They can not only play a role in tracking and monitoring, but can even shoot bee stings when necessary! Bee stings are not fatal, but they are enough to cause coma!

Once you see the power of unmanned supermarkets, no one will dare to rob them. This is really not cost-effective.

That night, Li Zetian contacted the person in charge of Chronos Industries to develop micro-robotic bees.

On June 1st, all unmanned supermarkets in the United States will open for business.

“The world’s first unmanned supermarket ‘Tmall Supermarket’ grandly opens, with 30% off the entire store!!!”

"Unmanned supermarkets use face recognition technology. Customers can take out their mobile phones and scan the QR code to bind their Face ID to PayPal and pay by scanning their faces!!!"

“You can take your selected products directly from the exit, saving you the time of waiting for payment!”

“Time is money, unmanned supermarkets lead a new shopping model in the world!!!”

"..."

A large-screen LCD monitor was installed at the entrance of the unmanned supermarket, which was playing advertisements for the unmanned supermarket, attracting countless passers-by.

At the same time, advertisements for Tmall’s unmanned supermarkets are everywhere on ABC, NBC, Fox and other TV stations as well as online.

The online supermarket - Tmall Supermarket has also been officially established. Users can shop directly in the online supermarket.

Having acquired so many supermarkets, our warehouses and logistics have been greatly enhanced.

Same day shopping, same day delivery!

Undoubtedly, the birth of Tmall Supermarket has seriously impacted traditional supermarkets!

For a time, netizens were shopping at Tmall Supermarket one after another. Some people heard that Tmall Supermarket also opened an unmanned supermarket physical store. They were curious and even went to take a look in person.

At this moment, the unmanned supermarket was overcrowded, and there was even a queue of hundreds of meters outside the door!

"Holy shit, the unmanned supermarket is so awesome! Is this facial recognition really okay?" People in line looked at the facial recognition scanning machine at the entrance and exit, full of curiosity.

"Face recognition technology has been around for a long time. Our company's access control uses face recognition!" A man said proudly.

“It’s amazing, someone actually came up with a way to pay with your face!”

"Haha, don't you know that this supermarket was founded by Chronos Li?"

"The news didn't say that Tmall Supermarket was founded by him..."

"Hurry up and take out your mobile phone to read the news. Tmall Supermarket has been launched on Taobao, Amazon, and eBay. What company can be so awesome that it is listed on the homepage of these three websites? Except Tmall Supermarket was founded by Chronos Li , are there any other possibilities?"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and admired Chronos Li.

"Chronos Li is indeed a genius, he is really amazing! It seems that traditional supermarkets such as Wal-Mart and Costco are going to be doomed!"

"It's true. Look at the people queuing up here. There are at least three to four hundred people! There will be even more people queuing up later!"

"Yes, I just saw so many people lining up, so I was attracted to it."

"What a tragedy, the Walmart across the street is so empty!"

"..."

Inside the unmanned supermarket, there is a sea of ​​people, rubbing shoulders and heel.

There is a ranking of best-selling products in each category of the supermarket, including more than 20 areas such as food, stationery, kitchenware, and toiletries. Customers can see at a glance which products are selling the most.

This method allows customers to quickly select products, which not only reduces shopping time, but also increases transaction volume.

Why can it increase trading volume? It's very simple. Customers may not originally intend to buy this product, but when they see so many people buying it, they feel that this product must be very good, so they plan to buy it.

In addition, there are many novelties for customers, that is, the "tallying robot".

The "Tallying Robot" is a cute fat man over two meters tall, who looks very similar to Baymax from "Super Marines", but his hands and feet are still different. The "tallying robot" uses wheels to facilitate walking in the supermarket. In order to facilitate tallying, it is natural to have a pair of flexible mechanical long arms. And his big belly is a warehouse.

Because the "tallying robot" is very similar to Baymax in "Super Marines", Li Zetian directly named the "tallying robot" Dabai.

While customers were shopping, they hurriedly took out their mobile phones and took crazy pictures of the "tallying robot" Dabai.

Some people even talked to him.

The "tallying robot" Dabai has installed an artificial intelligence program. Although tallying is his main task, chatting with customers and recommending products is also one of his tasks.

Many customers actually purchased a lot of goods under the recommendation of the "tallying robot" Dabai.

…

Overnight, Tmall’s unmanned supermarkets became popular in the United States and even around the world.

Countless media outlets reported on it.

Some economists even asserted, "Traditional supermarkets will die, and unmanned supermarkets will thrive!!!"

“Amazon and eBay have not brought down retail giants such as Walmart, but Tmall’s unmanned supermarket can do it!!!”

Others expressed concern: "The emergence of unmanned supermarkets is undoubtedly another major manifestation of robots replacing humans! Now, the number of unemployed people in the United States has further increased. Are robots good or bad for humans? This question It’s thought-provoking!”

It caused heated discussion on the Internet.

Experts, professors, economists, politicians, commentators and other people from all walks of life participated in the discussion.

Some people hold a supportive attitude, and naturally some people hold an opposing attitude.

Science is a double-edged sword.

Good people can use it to serve and benefit mankind, while evil people can use it to harm human existence.

Li Zetian feels that he is still a very kind person, and developing robots is not serving mankind!

In the early hours of that night, Li Zetian received the turnover statistics from Tmall Unmanned Supermarket.

My dear, there are actually 5 billion US dollars!

Li Zetian couldn't help being surprised!

Wal-Mart's annual turnover is only US$482.13 billion. If divided by 365 days, the daily turnover is only US$1.3 billion!

You should know that Tmall’s unmanned supermarket physical stores are only opened in the United States, with only more than 3,000 stores, while Wal-Mart has more than 8,000 stores around the world.

"Are you sure it's correct?" Li Zetian called specifically to ask.

"There is no mistake. It is indeed US$5 billion. We have checked it three times!" the person in charge of Tmall's unmanned supermarket said with a smile.

Holy shit, this is awesome. If the daily turnover is 5 billion US dollars, the annual turnover of supermarkets in the United States alone can reach 1.8 trillion US dollars! However, I guess today is the first day it is open for business, so there are a lot of people coming to shop.

At this time, the person in charge of Tmall's unmanned supermarket said: "Mr. Li, I suggest cooperating with banks. Many elderly people came today, and some of them don't even have PayPal, so I think if Face ID can be bound to a bank, then , even the elderly who don’t understand the Internet can come here to shop.”

"Okay, I understand. I will let Kronos Bank cooperate with you. As for other banks, you can contact them yourself."

"no problem."

…

Wal-Mart is immersed in a very depressing atmosphere.

In the conference room.

The chairman of Wal-Mart was furious and documents were scattered on the floor and on the table.

"Today is the most shameful day since the establishment of Wal-Mart. The turnover is less than 800 million US dollars, more than 500 million US dollars less than usual!!! What do you think we should do?"

"Chairman, Tmall's unmanned supermarket is coming, which caught us off guard. We didn't expect that Chronos Li actually created an unmanned supermarket!" a man whispered.

"Caught off guard?! Is our intelligence department so dumb that it can't even investigate such an important matter?"

"Chairman, their confidentiality measures are really good..."

"Go away, I don't want to hear this anymore. Tell me, what can you do to save the situation now?"

At this time, a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks rolled his eyes and thought: "Chairman, the unmanned supermarket means that there is no one. We can secretly send people to cause trouble for him."

"Idiot, didn't you see there was a security guard outside the door?" the chairman of Wal-Mart said angrily.

"This..." The middle-aged man looked embarrassed, and suddenly thought of another plan, and couldn't help but said hurriedly, "Chairman, their unmanned supermarket is not doing some facial recognition payment method. We can start from this aspect and bribe the media and trolls. It is said that there was an error in facial recognition payment, and someone stole the payment, which will damage the credibility of Tmall’s unmanned supermarket. In this way, no one will dare to shop in the unmanned supermarket.”

After finishing speaking, everyone's eyes lit up.

The chairman of Wal-Mart smiled, nodded and said: "Well, this is a good idea, just do it!"

…

A week later, Tmall’s unmanned supermarket was still a hit, but suddenly a large number of fraudulent transactions were reported on the Internet, which caused a great sensation.

“There is fraud in Tmall’s unmanned supermarkets. Please don’t go to unmanned supermarkets. Otherwise, your bank cards and credit cards will be stolen and you will suffer heavy losses!!”

“The facial recognition in Tmall Supermarket is not reliable at all. I don’t dare to go there anymore!”

"I asked why there was less money in my credit card. It turned out that it had been stolen, and Tmall Unmanned Supermarket would pay me the money!!!"

"..."

A lot of trolls on the Internet started to slander Tmall’s unmanned supermarket out of thin air.

Li Zetian sneered, "It's a small trick!!!"

Immediately, Li Zetian updated a Weibo: "There is currently no fraud in Tmall's unmanned supermarket. What is being circulated on the Internet is all rumors. It is the competitor who hired a large number of blackmail troops to blackmail Tmall's unmanned supermarket. I hereby solemnly say I promise that if there is any fraud, all losses will be compensated by me! I, Chronos·Li, will do what I say!!!”

Netizens saw it and liked it one after another.

"Domineering!!!"

"Since Chronos Li said so, I definitely believe it! He is so rich, he can still afford to pay for that small amount of money."

"Haha, Tmall's unmanned supermarkets are so popular that other supermarkets can't stand it anymore, so black stores are simply too tasteless!"

"Business competition is all about playing dirty tricks on the other side, and even resorting to all kinds of tricks. Asking the navy to hack the other side is a trivial matter."

The next day, Li Zetian investigated and found out that Wal-Mart hired the navy to blackmail him.

"How dare you, a Wal-Mart company, to hack me? I'll see if I don't kill you!!!"
