Chapter: 6548

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, muttering to himself, 'Old Yuan...'

Yuan Chengze quickly stepped forward, bowing his head. 'Your humble servant is here!'

Wu Shouzong frowned. 'I suddenly feel a bad feeling, as if someone is staring at me.'

Yuan Chengze knew that Wu Shouzong didn't want to stay in Africa one more day, especially not in such a dirty and chaotic oil field, so he smiled reassuringly. 'Commander-in-Chief, we came to Africa precisely because we wanted to be noticed. If that person isn't secretly watching us, then how can we possibly escape from here?'

Wu Shouzong's brow relaxed at this, and he laughed. 'You're right, Old Yuan! Thinking about it, my heart feels more at ease now. Let that guy hurry up and notice us, hurry up and take action, and maybe even get killed by those three elder generals. Then Yuan and I can hurry back to Europe, get out of this damned Africa, which I don't want to stay in for one more day!'"

Wu Shouzong had never thought of this, and when he spent years in Nigeria's oil field, satellite networks on the horizon had already begun to take action, intensely capturing the area where he was.

In order to seize a rare opportunity and leave a good impression for Ye Chen, Su Chengfeng quickly purchased the largest vending machine company in Nigeria at a cost of only $20,000 in public relations expenses.

He also bribed the people in charge of Lagos Airport, Port, and Station, and increased the number of vending machines here by at least one fold.

Among them, the airport person-in-charge, after receiving a 5,000-dollar bribe, began to roll out green lights for vending machines.

As a result, the vending machine density at Lagos Airport is now the largest in the world, from the arrival hall to each row of check-in counters, and almost all departure gates have vending machines selling various drinks and items needed during flights.

After covering everything, as long as this person enters the airport, he will be monitored by not just one but multiple vending machine surveillance cameras.

However, VIP Lou is relatively special because it is not the same entrance as the main terminal building.

When preparing to deploy vending machines at VIP waiting area, Su Chengfeng noticed a slight unease and told his concern over the phone to Su Zhifu, saying, "Fishy, this VIP waiting area has free food services, various drinks and snacks all for free. Deploying automatic vending machines here feels strange, like taking off one's pants and farting. So should I ask Mr. Ye for advice?"

Su Zhifu didn't even think twice before saying to him, "Grandpa, although I don't know why Mr. Ye wants to do this, since Mr. Ye has given you permission to deploy vending machines, you should do your best to cover all angles. As for the VIP waiting area, I think we can change our approach. You go talk to the person in charge and say that from now on, all drinks at VIP waiting area will be provided by your automatic vending machines free of charge. In return, you hope to increase a liquid crystal screen on your vending machine dedicated to advertising for these high-net-worth VIP users, and we'll use advertisement fees to offset the costs of the vending machines."

"Oh..." Su Chengfeng suddenly understood and said, "This kind of model seems to be very common online, many content that used to charge fees can be accessed for free by watching ads."

"Yes." Su Zhifu agreed, "The people who can go to the VIP waiting area are basically the highest-end customers of airport services. These high-net-worth individuals value advertising much higher than those in lower-income groups on the internet. We might as well accept some high-end luxury brands' advertisements and use advertisement fees to cover the costs of operating vending machines, even making a profit. So this commercial logic is also reasonable and won't raise suspicions."

Su Chengfeng nodded and smiled, "You young people are always thinking outside the box. If that's the case, I'll go talk to him and fill up the VIP waiting area with this kind of arrangement. It will be a good thing for him, at least he won't have to worry about drink costs anymore."

"Yes." Su Zhifu agreed, "Grandpa, just grab this opportunity and make it happen, then quickly expand our business in other African countries, so we can give Mr. Ye a satisfactory answer. Mr. Ye has always been clear about his expectations, if you get his approval this time, he will likely loosen up and give us more freedom."

"Yes." Su Chengfeng was very clear that as long as he didn't nod, he would never leave Madagascar.

Thanks to Huawei's complete supply chain, the upgrade of vending machine functions also landed quickly.

Mr. Ye doesn't need advanced equipment technology for his network, so each vending machine only needs to achieve two functions: one is taking pictures and one is wireless networking.

Normally, achieving these functions requires purchasing a camera that can connect to WIFI and giving it a WIFI network. Then the camera can upload all content taken to the server via WIFI.

Mr. Ye doesn't need to worry about anyone intercepting or hacking into this data, because these data are just ordinary monitoring data, and the real value of these data is in North Europe's AI.

As long as these surveillance cameras can transmit real-time video feeds to Ai's database without any delay, Ai can simultaneously monitor every individual under surveillance around the world and tag target faces. Once a target appears within the monitored range, Ai can immediately alert the user.

Such monitoring equipment is even available in Huaxia without needing specialized research, as many surveillance manufacturers already have devices that can transmit real-time video feeds over an operator's network. JrNovels.com
