Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 599 - 601: Smart Bank

Qin Hao said with a light smile, "Yes, they feel that Xuan Country is inferior to them in every aspect."

Su Fei replied, "But ever since Mr. Qin appeared, in many aspects Xuan Country has already completely surpassed the Federation and leads the world.

For example, in pharmaceutical technology, many patients from the Federation now go to Xuan Country for treatment. Previously, it was foreigners who came to the Federation for medical care. Furthermore, in artificial intelligence technology, Xuan Country's Falcon unmanned combat aircraft are even coveted by the Federation."

What she mentioned were just some critical areas; artificial intelligence technology had already started entering various industries, and this year would be a booming year for the intelligent era.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao watched TV, where the news was being broadcast.

The female host smiled and said, "Artificial intelligence technology is now becoming increasingly prevalent, from mobile phones to appliances. Today, the four major banks in Xuan Country and Xinghai High-tech Company have reached a cooperation agreement. The artificial intelligence system has already been applied in banks.

It can provide more convenient service to customers and also enhance bank security. Next, let's watch a detailed report brought to you by our reporter."

The TV screen switched, and a reporter stood at the entrance of the Development Bank. "Hello, I'm Wang Lu, your reporter. I am currently at the entrance of the Xuan Country Development Bank in Jinchen City. This is an artificial intelligence pilot bank, and I will take you through the experience of the AI system."

After speaking, she entered the Development Bank, followed by many people, including some bank executives but mostly ordinary citizens eager to see what the bank's AI system was really like.

The usual hall manager was missing, and even the counter staff were gone, replaced by an electronic voice, "Welcome, Ms. Wang, to the Jinchen branch of Xuan Country Development Bank."

Wang Lu was startled, "How do you know I'm Wang Lu?"

"Because you are a customer of our Development Bank, and your information is in our internal system, which I am connected to, so I can scan your identity information."

Reporter Wang Lu stated, "I plan to make a large cash withdrawal."

The electronic voice continued, "Ms. Wang, there are multifunctional chairs in the hall. If you need to conduct transactions, please sit on a chair and wear our multifunctional virtual glasses."

Wang Lu looked up and indeed saw rows of chairs in the hall, eight seats in a row, with two rows of chairs back to back forming a set.

In between the two rows of back-to-back chairs, there was a very long safe, resembling an enlarged version of a cash deposit box.

He walked over, sat down, and then put on the virtual glasses.

"As you are using the virtual glasses for the first time, we are undergoing retina and facial recognition. Ms. Wang Lu, your scan is complete, you can also undergo voice and fingerprint authentication."

The authentication was simple and completed in just seconds; then the scene changed, and before her eyes appeared a virtual counter and a virtual beautiful female staff member, smiling vividly as if real.

"Hello, I am service agent 001, at your service."

When Wang Lu wore the virtual glasses, the bank's screen displayed Wang Lu's virtual image.

The people in the hall were shocked when they saw it—was this virtual imaging technology?

Wang Lu said, "I want to withdraw money." As she spoke, she instinctively reached for her card.

The virtual staff member smiled and said, "Since Ms. Wang Lu, you have undergone various authentications, you can directly withdraw money without a bank card and also do not need to enter a password. Your retina, face, voice, and fingerprints are the best passwords."

"How much is in my balance?"

Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

"You have two cards with the Development Bank, totaling eighty-seven thousand three hundred sixty-four Yuan and nine cents."

Reporter Wang Lu stated, "I want to withdraw fifty thousand."

"Please wait a moment, we are processing your withdrawal."

Seconds later, the chair where Wang Lu sat spat out fifty thousand Yuan, which she saw when she looked down and then grabbed in her hands.

This virtual glasses experience was entirely different from the VR9D virtual glasses she used in entertainment venues.

She continued, "What if I want to deposit money?"

"You can open the cover on the right-hand seat's armrest, and you can put money inside."

She opened a lid on the armrest and placed the money inside, then a sound like a money counting machine started.

Seconds later, the virtual staff member smiled and said, "Hello Ms. Wang Lu, you just deposited fifty thousand Yuan, your new balance is eighty-seven thousand three hundred sixty-four Yuan and nine cents."

...

A few minutes later Wang Lu stood up from her chair, her face filled with astonishment; not only she but everyone present in the bank, and the viewers in front of the TV were extremely shocked. This was way too intelligent.

Both Qin Hao and Han Meng saw the news on TV; this was a harbinger of the intelligent era's arrival.

Now some important institutions in other countries had reached cooperation with Xinghai High-tech Company, and they were going to push the intelligent process comprehensively.

This would render many people unemployed, but the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. Without bank jobs, they could look for other jobs.

At the same time, this would save a substantial amount of money for the country, which could be used to increase welfare subsidies for ordinary citizens or in impoverished areas.

Leng Xuan came in and said, "Mr. Qin, the advanced intelligent surveillance outside has been installed and covers a distance of five hundred meters."

Qin Hao nodded, "Yes, I know."

After Leng Xuan left, Qin Hao's phone rang; it was Chang Jing calling, "Mr. Qin, did you have a conflict with the Sato Family?"

"Mr. Chang, how did you know?" Qin Hao curiously asked.

Chang Jing replied, "Never mind how I know it, many people already know. Sato Tarou was here by invitation this time.

The Jianghai City Government has teamed up with some energy groups intending to purchase the new type of solar panels from the Fu Feng Group. Because of what occurred between you and him, he might now reconsider not selling them."

Qin Hao was somewhat speechless, "It's no concern of mine if he doesn't want to make money. He can sell it or not as he wishes."

Chang Jing explained, "In recent years, due to environmental pollution issues, the country has been strongly supporting new types of energy.

Especially in electricity generation, where traditional power is being slowly phased out, wind power and solar energy are gradually becoming mainstream. Wind power has regional restrictions, but solar power does not.

Solar power will be a mainstream research direction in the future, and the Fu Feng Group has very high technology in this area, holding a global leading position. By purchasing their products, we can learn from their technology and thus proceed with our own research."

Qin Hao asked, "So, he isn't selling now, is that it?"

Mr. Chang continued, "Not exactly, he's just dragging his feet. I think he wants someone to pressure you into apologizing to him."

Qin Hao scoffed, "Apologize? He wishes."

Chang Jing cautioned, "Mr. Qin, the Sato Family is powerful; you've offended them, so be cautious in the future."

Qin Hao responded, "I understand, Mr. Chang. You be careful too, I'm worried Sato Tarou's men might target you."
