"This is impossible, Mr. Jing, your requirements are too high." Although Miss Herbert is not very old and does not know much about business matters, she only knows that the number of 5,000 pounds is far beyond her bottom line. She now thinks it is 5,000 pounds, and 1,000 pounds are too high.

Not to mention that Jing Yu also wants one-third of the profit after selling each machine. This is a condition that humans have never heard of since they became a businessman.

So she refused without hesitation.

Jing Yu saw the other party's face changing from sadness to an application for business negotiation, and threw a slight sympathy out of his mind. The saying "Business is business" is true, you can tell from this girl's face-changing skills.

"That's what I ask," Jing Yu said to her, "If you agree, we can continue, otherwise, Miss Herbert, I have other things to deal with."

"But, Mr. Jing, the price is really too high," the other party said directly, "I don't have that much money."

Jing Yuxin said that she was indeed a novice, and even her own business situation was exposed during negotiations, so she shook her head, "Miss Herbert, that's your problem, not mine."

But she still refused to give up. She continued: "Mr. Jing, you see, you don't have anything to do with that machine yet. I'm taking a lot of risks. You can never find any other partners who are willing to trust you like me."

Jing Yu said: "But I never thought about finding someone to cooperate with. I know how to make this machine, so I just need someone to help me with work. At that time, I might open a factory myself, Miss Herbert, and produce it myself. The profit of each machine sold in this way is my own."

Then he strengthened his tone, "All the profits of each unit, Miss Herbert, need not be divided with anyone at all."

"But?"

"Nothing, but, Miss, I can make all the money myself. So why do you want to share it with others? 5,000 pounds, a penny cannot be lost!" Jing Yu didn't want to say much to her. Even though the other party was very beautiful, he now wanted to complete his other things.

In the end, Miss Herbert had to leave with disappointment.

"Sir, maybe you can be more polite to this lady. She almost cried when she left," said Butler Andrew, who rarely talked nonsense, suddenly softly.

"Ah, dear Andrew, this is business, business is business." Jing Yu said without hesitation.

"Okay, sir." Andrew knew his identity. He had already said too much, because he couldn't bear to see a young and beautiful lady so sad.

When he returned to his study, Jing Yu began to think about what articles to look for to deal with the editorial of "Riverside Magazine". Isn't it just a science fiction theme? Jing Yu thought to himself, then I'll find another article.

So in the end, the short story "Darcy's New Automatic Machine Nanny" by Chinese-American writer Jiang Feng Nan was poisoned by Jing Yu.

This novel takes the story of someone inventing a robot nanny in the early 20th century. The novel describes the origin of this nanny robot and the story of the subsequent sales from the beginning of cold encounters and was finally questioned. The author uses this to describe the importance of parents to their children. After all, nurturing is not only physical, but also spiritual.

Then Jing Yu changed it and set the story decades later in the tone of this era, while Jiang Fengnan wrote this novel two thousand years later.

Another interesting question is that there is no word "robot" in this era, so Jing Yu had to invent this word first. So Jing Yu added some plots to the beginning of this article, "Rosham's Robot Universal Company" by the real creator of the word "rosam" to the beginning of this article, and briefly introduced to readers who have never seen this word.

But the real creator of the word robot, Karel Cápek, is a Czech. The word robot is created by the combination of the spelling of robota in the Czech language "labor, hard work" and the spelling of robotnik in the Polish language "worker".

Jing Yu did not intend to modify this word, but he could not tell the truth if he wanted to explain the purpose of this word. In the end, he solved this problem with the attitude of "What's wrong with this word when I make the decision of my little tree?"

Of course, the form of robots has not appeared before. A long time ago, someone has studied machines that look similar to humans and can complete some human work. The more famous one is the "writing robots" made by watch masters through clockwork and gears.

However, those machines are completely different from what Jing Yu described in his novel. He has popularized the functions of robots in detail in the novel. I believe that this article may make readers feel like they were hit by a sharp blow when they see it.

After Jing Yu completed the magic modification work, he sorted the manuscript into the envelope and attached a note: My assistant is not in place yet, so please help me modify it or send one to me quickly, otherwise all the articles in the future will be like this.

After a while, he confirmed that there was no problem, he asked Henry to send the letter.

Miss Alice Herbert returned to the factory when she was working on Jingyu's novel "Darcy's New Automatic Machine Nanny". The "Herbert Machinery Company" she inherited was not big, but was just a small factory with more than 2 acres or about 1 hectares of land. Most of the small land is idle, and only a large factory occupied a small position.

There were less than fifty workers in the factory, to be precise, forty-three, and earlier, fifty-eight, but more than a dozen of them were poached by other factories after Henry Herbert's death, which also means that they were originally the core workers in the factory, but most of the remaining workers are apprentices or novices, and it is not easy to find jobs outside.

The factory is divided into three parts, namely warehouse, gear production, and assembly-specific. Among them, the former boss George Herbert's office and other drawing rooms, accounting rooms, etc. As for why he is in the assembly factory, this is because George Herbert often participates in the assembly work of machines himself, so he chose a location that can make him the most convenient.

After Alice Herbert's father passed away, he often appeared in his father's office.

"Does he seem unwilling to do it? Miss?" asked Todd Scott, the actual factory manager who Alice Herbert's father trusted most during his lifetime. He was a man with gray hair and wearing coarse cloth clothes. If he was seen outside, he would easily be considered an old worker in the factory. But in fact, he was very good at production management, allowing George Herbert to concentrate on designing new machines and promote them to the outside.

Of course, Mr. Todd Scott's ability is limited to production management. He has a little understanding of the assembly of differential machines and computers, but he has no idea how these machines calculate the accurate results by rotating the gears. Of course, giving him a series of mechanical drawings and assembly drawings to make gears of different sizes as required and assemble them will have no problem with Mr. Scott.
