Chapter 26

"Task: Develop a new product. Upon completion, the task will be rewarded with 50 points."

"As a technology company, our current R&D capabilities are too weak, which is a devastating blow to the company's development. We are now issuing a long-term task to build a qualified R&D team. The criteria for completing the task are: no less than 300 R&D personnel, with a maximum score of 10, a professionalism score of 8 or above, an innovation score of 8 or above, and the personnel assessment will begin within one year of the employee's start date. The reward for completing the task is 300 points."

"Your company has made some progress, but its current staffing is chaotic and job planning is insufficient, which will become a bottleneck restricting the company's development. The task is now issued: adjust the company's personnel structure to make it more scientific and complete. The reward for completing the task is 20 points."

The completion of the mission means that the new product of Hongqi Piao has been sold.

The two tasks issued by the system this time are both related to personnel, which shows how dissatisfied the system is with the current personnel structure of Hongqi Piao.

The fact that the development of the flying carpet took so much time is something the system is particularly bothered by.

The second task was easy to complete; optimizing the company's personnel structure was something she was about to do. The first task, however, was very difficult to achieve, which explained why she was rewarded with so many points.

Talent is always a scarce resource in any era. Those who meet the system's evaluation criteria are undoubtedly elites in their respective fields. Hongqipiao (a Chinese advertising platform) wants such talent, and other companies also want to recruit them. Attracting them to join Hongqipiao is no easy feat; one must possess something truly compelling to attract these individuals.

Xia Ke currently has three tasks. In addition to the regular tasks, the other side tasks and long-term tasks are not easy to complete. The long-term tasks are simply difficult, while the side tasks are too complicated and require too much consideration.

As expected, system tasks progress from easy to difficult, especially when the task background is in the real world, where the factors to consider are more complex and diverse, and careful thinking and handling are required to complete the task.

But there's no turning back now, so all we can do is grind!

...

The sales method for Feiche and Jileyun is mainly based on reservations. Considering cost issues, the factory will only produce a small amount of stock on a regular basis. After this stock is sold out, buyers need to pay a deposit to make a reservation. The factory can only produce the goods according to the order five to ten working days after the reservation.

Because the customer's funds are tied up for nearly 10 days, Hongqi Piao will give appropriate discounts to customers who purchase through the reservation system.

Customers who buy in-stock items will not be eligible for this discount.

Zhang Cheng chose spot trading as his purchase method, so three days after placing the order, the Flying Car and Jile Cloud he ordered were delivered to his doorstep.

When the courier called, Zhang Cheng was editing a video. His mother answered the phone and only said that the package had been delivered and asked him to come downstairs to sign for it.

Since their son's amputation, the couple has been the ones picking up packages. When they received the call this time, they didn't think much of it. Zhang's mother went out in her slippers, worried that there were too many packages for her to carry, and even dragged Zhang's father out with her.

When I got downstairs, I only saw two trucks parked at the entrance of the building. The trucks were quite large, and the road in front of the building was completely blocked, leaving only a narrow gap for people to walk through.

"Whose moving company is this? They have a lot of stuff, using two big trucks to haul it all."

The couple whispered to each other as they stood at the entrance of their apartment building, waiting for the deliveryman to arrive.

After waiting for a long time without seeing the deliveryman, we thought, "Maybe he's being blocked by these two trucks. Let's walk around and see if he's at the intersection."

"No matter how reasonable your argument is, which family is moving? There's no sign of them moving. These two trucks are really getting in the way."

As the two were about to leave, they passed a truck and suddenly heard a man's voice coming from the truck's cab above them, "Here to pick up a package? Is your name Zhang Cheng?"

Zhang's mother nodded hesitantly, "It's Zhang Cheng's package. I just called and they said it's downstairs."

"Is the address Unit 2, Room 601, and the phone number ending in 7982?"

"That's right, it's my son's information."

"That's right then, but could you ask your son to come over? He needs to sign for the valuables in person."

The couple couldn't understand why their valuables needed to be delivered by truck, so they had to use their spatial ring to summon their son downstairs.

Since buying the spatial ring, Zhang Cheng has spent 90% of his time with his parents. During this period, since he has no plans to go out, one end of the spatial ring's address has been set in Zhang Cheng's room, while the other end's address has been flexibly changed depending on where Zhang Cheng wants to go.

As soon as the spatial ring opened, Zhang Cheng appeared in a wheelchair.

As soon as Zhang Cheng received the call from his parents asking him to come downstairs, he immediately realized what they were delivering. "You're here to deliver the flying car and the Jile Cloud, right? I'm Zhang Cheng. Where do I sign for it?"

He started recording video while talking.

As a video blogger, recording footage anytime, anywhere has become a professional habit for him.

After the truck driver left, Zhang's parents looked at the particularly flamboyant and eye-catching flying car and the Jile Cloud and exclaimed, "Acheng, you bought a car? And what is this Big Cloud? Is it a plush toy? It's so big!"

My son had his leg amputated, so he can't drive at all!

"Yeah, I bought a car. As for that cloud? It can barely be considered a car either."

"Acheng, what are you saying? I can't understand a word you're saying. You don't want to drive, do you? You know your physical condition; you can't drive." These words might seem like reopening old wounds for their son, but for his safety, even if it hurts him, they still have to say it.

“I might not be able to drive other cars, but I might be able to drive these two. Dad, can you help me unpack the flying car and the Jile Cloud? I’m taking you and Mom to fly in the sky today.”

The elderly couple thought their son was talking nonsense, but they still listened to him and went to the outer packaging with great concern.

Hello, dear friends, good afternoon!

"I'm sure all you surfing enthusiasts already knew about the launch of Hongqi Piao's new products a few days ago. The products launched this time are the Flying Car and the Jile Cloud, and their biggest selling point is that they can travel in the air."

"As a die-hard fan of the Red Flag, I definitely have to go for it! Ta-da! Behind me are the flying car and the Jile Cloud itself. As you can see, they just arrived, and I can't wait to share them with you all!"

Zhang Cheng pushed the wheelchair closer to Fei Che and Ji Leyun.

"Let's start by reviewing the flying car. Follow my camera to take a look at its appearance. The dynamic design, smooth lines, bold red and black color scheme, and smooth paint texture make this car's exterior design truly outstanding. I already thought it was very cool in the advertisement video, but the real thing is even more stunning than in the video. Just standing here, a sense of the future is overwhelming."

"It's so cool, I was immediately drawn to it the moment I saw it."

"Let's talk about the materials. The flying car's shell is made of a high-strength, low-density material containing titanium alloy. I don't know much about materials, but according to the official website, it's a material with very high density and hardness. If any knowledgeable friends can explain it to everyone in the comments section."

"Next, let's test the questions that everyone is most concerned about: Can this car really fly? How fast is it after it takes off? What are the vehicle's safety features like?"

With his parents' help, Zhang Cheng sat in the driver's seat of the flying car.

"Cheng, why don't you get out and let your dad drive?"

Zhang's mother was really worried about her son driving; if another accident happened, she would have nowhere to turn to for help.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'm confident."

After calming his parents down, Zhang Cheng fiddled with the control panel for a bit and then looked back at the camera. "There are two ways to drive the flying car: driverless mode and non-driverless mode. Driverless mode is very similar to the driverless vehicles on the market now. After you enter the address, it will automatically take you to your destination. There's nothing to say about that."

“We are focusing on manual driving.”

"First of all, the driving control panel is very similar to that of a regular vehicle, but many things have been added and optimized. For example, a pause button and acceleration/deceleration valves have been added. These optimizations allow people like me who have lost both legs to operate and drive the flying car. The driving control panel is very user-friendly, to the point that you can learn it at a glance. If someone is used to traditional driving and wants to use both hands and feet, that is also possible."

"Okay, I've started the flying car. Now let's soar into the sky together."

After the vehicle started, amidst the engine noise, Zhang Cheng and his father clearly felt the vehicle lift off the ground.

"I've looked into it. The flying car engine uses magnetic levitation technology, and it doesn't make the roaring sound of a traditional vehicle when it starts. So the sounds you're hearing now are just sound effects. If you don't like them, you can turn them off."

"But personally, I think the sound is quite realistic, even though it's a sound effect. More importantly, the flying car with the engine feels amazing."

Zhang Cheng maneuvered the flying car higher and higher.

In order to capture the entire scene from all angles, only Zhang's father accompanied Zhang Cheng into the car, while Zhang's mother was responsible for filming the car chase from the ground.

Thanks to her experience making videos while traveling with her son, Zhang's mother's filming skills are now quite good.

A car was seen floating above the residential area. The residents quickly got the news and looked up at the sky. The red and black car was shining brightly in the sunlight.

Before anyone could see it clearly, the car vanished in a flash.

On the speeding car, Mr. Zhang gripped the camera tightly with both hands.

Good heavens! He really is flying!

Once Zhang Cheng got used to it, he became completely accustomed to operating the flying car, and the more familiar he was with it, the faster it became.

Those who are almost at the bottom can only see a blurry afterimage.

He didn't forget to record videos while driving.

"As the world's first flying car, to be honest, I didn't have high expectations for it before I got my hands on it. After all, it's the first generation of cars, and many things can't be perfect."

"But after I drove the flying car around just now, I realized I was wrong. Even though the H-1 series flying car is only a first-generation model, it is still perfect. In terms of appearance, quality, and performance, it is already a mature car."

"It's really unbelievable that a single generation of a car can achieve this effect."

After experiencing the extreme height of the flying car, Zhang Cheng slowly lowered it.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Zhang's father opened the car door, squatted down, and vomited violently.

He's afraid of heights!

Especially when his son released the foot pedal, the thrill of the feeling of being suspended in mid-air almost made him faint.

"This flying car can reach a maximum height of 500 meters. People with a fear of heights should choose carefully, otherwise you'll end up like my dad when you get off."

After Zhang's father calmed down, Zhang Cheng turned on the camera.

"Next, we will evaluate Jile Cloud."

"My mother came up with me this time."

"I have to say, the appearance of this Jile Cloud is absolutely stunning. Even I, a grown man, am charmed by its cuteness."

"Compared to the flying car, this Jile Cloud is much gentler. When flying at a height of no more than 5 meters, you don't even need to wear a seatbelt to sit in the chair. You can lie down, sit or lie down as you like. I think it's perfect for a weekend outing."

"Imagine lying on a cloud and slowly arriving at your destination, then being carried home by the cloud after meeting up with friends—it sounds wonderful. It's also perfect for picking up packages. I would call this Jile Cloud a lazy person's dream; it can replace walking in daily life."

Next, Zhang Cheng tested other performance aspects of Jile Cloud and concluded that they were all excellent value for money and exceeded expectations.

By the time he had finished testing both products, a large crowd had already gathered at the entrance of his apartment building.

These people were all asking about the flying car. Zhang's father had to help his son film videos while also dealing with the neighbors, making it an extremely difficult situation.

After Zhang Cheng and his mother helped Zhang's father out of the predicament and informed the neighbors about the flying car and the cloud, they led the newly arrived flying car and cloud to the underground parking garage.

As she walked, Zhang's mother shed tears.

"That's great! With the Jile Cloud, it will be much more convenient for Acheng to go anywhere in the future. It's just that the cloud is too big. If it were smaller, it would be nice to park it at home."

Yes, it would be better if it were smaller.

That same evening, Zhang Cheng sent the video he had edited from his evaluation to Xia An. If Xia An had no problems, it could be published.

He also conveyed Zhang's mother's suggestion that the Jileyun could be smaller that afternoon.
