Chapter 3188

Wu Shutong never dreamed that when he was living like a year in the oil field in Nigeria, Skyline's satellites had already begun to film the area where he was located as densely as possible.

And Su Chengfeng, the old master of the Su family, in order to seize the rare opportunity to perform and leave a good impression on Ye Chen, also acquired Nigeria's largest vending machine company at the fastest speed, and spent only more than 200,000 US dollars in public relations fees to bribe the heads of Lagos airport, docks, and stations, increasing the number of vending machines here by at least double.

Among them, the airport head gave the green light to the placement of vending machines after receiving a bribe of 50,000 US dollars.

So much so that the density of vending machines at Lagos airport is now the largest in the world. From entering the airport hall to every row of check-in counters, and then to near almost all boarding gates, there will be a vending machine selling various drinks and items needed during the flight.

After all these are covered, as long as this person enters the airport, no matter where he goes, he will be filmed by more than one vending machine's surveillance probe.

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

When preparing to place vending machines in the VIP terminal, Old Master Su noticed a trace of disharmony. He told Su Zhiyu his worries on the phone and said: "Zhiyu, there are free catering services in the VIP terminal here, and various drinks and wines are provided for free. Placing vending machines here feels a bit strange, like taking off your pants to fart, so see if you want to ask Mr. Ye for instructions?"

Su Zhiyu didn't even think about it and said to him: "Grandpa, although I don't know why Mr. Ye wants to do vending machines, since Mr. Ye asked you to place as many as possible, you must try your best to achieve no dead ends. As for the VIP lounge, I think you can change your thinking. You go to talk to the person in charge and say that the drinks in the VIP lounge will be provided for free by your vending machines in the future. In return, you hope to be able to add an LCD screen to our vending machines, specifically used to display advertisements for these VIP high-net-worth users. We use advertising fees to subsidize the cost of vending machines."

"Oh..." Old Master Su suddenly realized and blurted out: "This model seems to be quite common on the Internet. Many contents that were originally charged can be free as long as you watch advertisements."

"Yes." Su Zhiyu said: "Those who can go to the VIP terminal are basically the highest-end customers of airport services. The net value of these customers is very high, so the value of advertising display to them is far higher than that displayed to low- and middle-income groups on the Internet. Perhaps just by taking some high-end luxury brand advertisements, the advertising fees can easily cover the material costs of vending machine operations, and even easily make profits. So this business logic is also feasible, reasonable, and naturally will not make people suspicious."

Old Master Su hummed and smiled: "Young people like you still have broad thinking. Since this is the case, I will communicate with the other party and use this method to fill the VIP terminal. It is also a good thing for him. At least the drink cost of the VIP terminal will be completely saved in the future."

"Yes." Su Zhiyu said: "Grandpa, you should hurry up and implement this matter, and then hurry up to expand the business in other countries and regions in Africa, and give Mr. Ye a satisfactory answer as soon as possible. Mr. Ye rewards and punishes clearly. If you can get his recognition this time, I think he will definitely loosen your ties appropriately and give you more free space."

"Yes, yes." Old Master Su knew very well in his heart that without Ye Chen's nod, he would never be able to leave the island of Madagascar in his life.

Thanks to China's complete supply chain, the functional upgrade of vending machines was also implemented very quickly.

Ye Chen's ground network does not need equipment to have very advanced technical content, so the functions that each vending machine needs to achieve are actually only two: one is filming, and the other is wireless network.

Normally, to achieve such functions, you only need to purchase a surveillance camera that can connect to WIFI, and then equip the camera with a WIFI network. In this way, the camera can upload all the content filmed to the server through WIFI.

Ye Chen doesn't have to worry about this kind of data being intercepted or hacked by anyone, because this data is ordinary surveillance data. The one who really wants to make a fuss about this surveillance data is actually the AI located in Northern Europe.

As long as the real-time filming videos of these cameras can be uploaded to the AI's database without missing a frame at the first time, the AI can monitor everyone who appears under the surveillance probe around the world at the same time, and can also mark the target's face. Once the target appears in the surveillance range, the AI can immediately alarm the user.

And this kind of surveillance equipment doesn't even need to be specially developed in China, because many surveillance manufacturers have equipment that uploads surveillance videos in real time based on operator networks. As long as this kind of equipment is powered on and a mobile phone SIM card is inserted, real-time surveillance can be achieved in places with mobile signals.

In order to make this kind of equipment and vending machines combine more naturally, Su Chengfeng gave domestic manufacturers a lot of money, asking them to make certain adaptive adjustments to the appearance of surveillance equipment according to the form of vending machines.

Because Su Chengfeng gave too much money, in order to win this big order as soon as possible, the manufacturer adopted 3D printing technology without time to open molds for production, and worked overnight to produce more suitable product forms for Su Chengfeng's vending machines. The new shape can directly install the camera in the front display cabinet of the vending machine, while the camera's power supply and wireless network module are directly integrated into the interior of the vending machine.

Normally, to develop a new product, you must first open a mold for the new design. But in order to satisfy Su Chengfeng's request of the faster the better, the manufacturer used 3D printing technology to temporarily produce a batch of surveillance equipment during the time waiting for the mold to be opened, and transported the equipment to Nigeria in the fastest time through point-to-point air transport routes.

After the equipment arrived, Su Chengfeng arranged for technical personnel to install all the equipment on various vending machines in Nigeria at the first time. After the data was connected to the AI, the AI began to analyze everyone and every face passing in front of these vending machines 24 hours a day without interruption.

In order to comprehensively monitor Kansai Oil, Ye Chen also asked Su Chengfeng to place two vending machines on the side of the road opposite the gate of Kansai Oil. This kind of street vending machine is not uncommon in Lagos, so it did not trigger any extra attention.

And after these two vending machines were put into use opposite the Kansai oil field, they began to monitor every move at the entrance of Kansai 7X24 hours a day. Ye Chen's ground network finally started its trial operation in Nigeria.

What Ye Chen wants to wait for is someone or a vehicle coming out of Seychelles Oil and heading to Lagos airport. In that way, the other party's movement trajectory and facial features will be exposed to the AI. In this way, once the Great Governor of the Right Army Governor's Office leaves Nigeria from here, he will have great certainty that he can find the actual location of the Right Army Governor's Office by following the vine through the flight route of his plane!
