Chapter 262 USR Company Bankruptcy

The wheels of the raptor turned quickly, knocking over several robots that rushed over. He already felt that his own kind had died, but his spirit didn't fluctuate much.

Seeing a figure approaching quickly, his car door opened automatically. Fan Mang didn't get in the car, but jumped onto the roof of the car, aiming at the surroundings and shooting non-stop.

After persisting for about five minutes, I saw that the robot suddenly stopped moving, and both eyes went dark.

Fan Mang just jumped into the car: "Let's go."

The Raptor's wheels turned quickly, and it made a U-turn in the blink of an eye, away from the USR building.

A few police officers were fighting the rioting robots with guns on the street. They were also relieved when they saw that the robots suddenly stopped moving.

call~~~

A policeman's hat flew up, and he picked it up with his head down: "Did you feel a gust of wind just now? It seems that the robot on the ground was blown."

"Have you been drinking? Why didn't we feel the wind blowing the robot? Hurry up and report the situation to the bureau. The matter with the robot must be resolved immediately!"

In a parking lot, Fan Mang sat in the driver's seat, listening to the broadcast on the radio.

[Today at 1:32 in the morning, USR's domestic robots rioted for unknown reasons. The robots attacked humans, robbed humans of their weapons, and the robots snatched powerful weapons. Are robots really safe? Is our draft robotics bill going to go ahead? 】

[Someone was injured by his home robot and is currently being treated in St. Paul's Hospital. The injured said that he would make a huge claim to USR. 】

[Lawrence, chairman and CEO of USR, declined our interview and did not answer our questions. The company will hold a press conference at 3:00 pm today to explain everything that happened today, and our station will continue to report. 】

[The USR building was severely damaged, and it was suspected that someone jumped from the building, but no body was found. We found the first Chicago Police Chief Sheriff Spooner who rushed to the USR building, please listen to his answer to the scene. 】

[I found Dr. Ronning who was trapped in the elevator. Dr. Ronning ran to the main control room of USR immediately, activated a safety procedure, and forcibly shut down all USR robots. That's all I know . 】

There was no other valuable content on the broadcast, and Fan Mang leaned on his chair: "Raptor, that Sonny who was suddenly ignited, has been killed by me, he can control all USR robots, even I doubt he can Control other electronics."

"I killed your kind, will you be unhappy?"

"No. If there are humans endangering your safety, I will kill humans too." The voice of the raptor did not have any emotional fluctuations. His first goal is to protect his master, and he doesn't think friends of the same kind are friends. There are so many human beings, and the owner is not seen as friends with other people.

He had seen someone try to rob his master, but he was beaten up by the master and thrown at the gate of the police station.

"Well, you did a good job today. Is there anything else interesting in Chicago, let's take a look?"

"I want to know the results of USR Corporation." Raptor replied.

"That's fine, we'll just wait for the result."

Fan Mang closed his eyes and fell asleep in the car,

After dawn, he took out his phone and called Spooner: "Hi, are you free today?"

"Fan, I'm sorry. The robot riots in the city early this morning, my vacation ended early. I can help you recommend a good tour guide, I'm really sorry."

"That's it, then don't bother. The robot riots, the city is definitely not safe, I will leave Chicago first, if you have a chance to go to Los Angeles, you can call me."

Fan Mang continued to listen to the radio. The incident became more lively now. Some people even took to the streets to parade, clamoring for an explanation from USR, returning the product, and demanding compensation for the loss.

Not only in Chicago, but many others who bought USR robots also asked to return them. Who would dare to use a robot that would attack its owner?

There must be something wrong with USR's procedures, and compensation must be made!

At this time, the USR company headquarters became panicked, and the employees of the company were also full of sadness. I thought that the company would have great development in the future, and many of them even subscribed for some stocks internally, preparing to wait for the company to go public in half a year, and then earn a lot of money.

Let alone going public now, it is good if the company does not go bankrupt. What about their investments, what about their jobs?

Those major shareholders even appeared in the meeting room, eager to kill Lawrence and Dr. Ronning. Their biggest investment was over a billion dollars, and now it looks like they're going to lose it all.

And the company is likely to go bankrupt, and even implicate their other businesses. If your company goes bankrupt, you won't lose money, and those damaged families will not let them off as shareholders.

So someone must stand up and resist these things in order to avoid their worries.

"Lawrence, what are you thinking?"

Lawrence seemed to have aged ten years overnight, his mental state was extremely poor, and he had thick dark circles under his eyes.

"Is there really nothing wrong with my family?"

"So many of us have promised you, you are not at ease? They can go to live in the UK, they can go to Canada, they can go to Asia. Too much money is impossible, but we can let your family take what they can bring All the properties that go, even I can personally give another five million dollars."

Lawrence smiled wryly. All he could take away was some cash and jewelry. Stocks, bonds, and the like could not be taken away. How nice to say, give me another five million dollars, and I will pay with my life!

But he looked at the expressions of other people. If he didn't agree, he might not be able to leave this office today, and his family would suffer crazy revenge.

"Okay, I promise to take this matter down. I am the legal person of the company, and I will take care of this matter. I will not let consumers and employees find you."

"But five million is not enough. I want twenty million dollars. My family needs so much money to live. They will take nothing but people."

"You can take away the company's core technology and start a new one. How much is this technology alone worth? Twenty million dollars, not much at all."

Several major shareholders looked at each other, and the leader nodded: "Yes, 20 million US dollars, we will give it."

"Now send my family away and go to Canada. They've always wanted to live in a house by the lake." After speaking, Lawrence collapsed on the sofa like a deflated ball.

"Dr. Ronning, what about you? It's impossible for you not to come forward about this matter."

Dr. Ronning smiled wryly: "I'm in charge of system research and development, so of course I can't get away with this matter. But it shouldn't be like this, someone must have implanted a virus program. And in the early hours of the morning, the entire factory was paralyzed, and the power The system crashed, it was definitely not an accident."

"It's useless to say this. Consumers don't want this kind of explanation. They will think you are making excuses. You can report it to the police to see if they will believe it. Admit that your design mistakes caused these, and your family will also You can get compensation. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you admit it or not, you can try to get out of the building now and see if the angry family members of the injured will rush to kill you.”

At this time, Simmons, who was sitting in the corner, wanted to cry without tears. All his property and technical materials were invested in USR company, and now he lost all his money.

Those shareholders who newly established a company will give him some shares, but how much can they have? Others have to chase after a sum of money, where does he have?

He is now working in his mother's shop. There is a huge gap between a high-ranking base supervisor and a waiter in his mother's shop. And this waiter's job, he will continue to do it, I don't know how long it will take.

Why do robots riot? Is it really because someone implanted a virus? Wouldn't it have something to do with those shape-shifting alien robots?

...

At the press conference in the afternoon, not only the media from all over the United States, but also many foreign media also came. They all wanted to hear Lawrence's explanation.

"We are very sorry for the failure of the robot this time. No one thought of it. According to our investigation, it is because someone maliciously implanted a virus into our control program and changed the core instructions of the robot."

"In fact, you don't have to worry about the robots that have already been sold. As long as the network connection is disconnected, you can still use them, but they cannot be automatically upgraded."

"For those injured, we will make appropriate compensation and negotiate with all the injured and their families. Please continue to trust us, USR Group, and we will provide you with more and better products."

"Fart! Anyone who dares to use your robot will lose money!" Someone shouted.

Lawrence looked at the security guard, but found that the security guard was indifferent. This must have been arranged by those shareholders.

"Mr. Lawrence, how do you compensate? The company doesn't have much liquidity in its books, and it still owes money to the bank. I heard that some banks have already started directly debiting your arrears, and some material suppliers are chasing after the payment."

"I'll take care of it." Lawrence insisted.

"Dr. Ronning, why don't you speak? You developed the system. You claimed to be infallible before. Do you have any explanation for this?"

Fan Mang was sitting in a small shop, eating steak and watching the TV above. USR is very strange this time, why only two executives, Lawrence and Dr. Ronning, came forward, and why are the other executives?

It seems that USR's bankruptcy is certain. The company's headquarters building will be auctioned off, and all the company's assets will be auctioned off. This will not close the hole.

Many family members of the injured have claimed astronomical sums, which together are more than ten times the highest valuation of USR, and they are absolutely unaffordable.

A rising robot manufacturing company collapsed just like that.

"Master, the communication device that Optimus Prime gave you has a call request."
