The whole room filled with gasping and words of praise.
Mu Lan smiled and said. "Thank you for the compliments. I'm honored. However, if all the important guests think that the machine used another layer of colors to cover the previous painting, you are greatly mistaken."
The ballroom suddenly became quiet. People were eager to hear what she had to say. But it didn't cover the surprised expression.
Mu Lan shared the details of this machine. "This machine is called corrector machine which was created for if something would go wrong with colorful printing or painting, it will take off the color from the painting and reproduce the colors the way the owner of that neurocranial transmitter which is on the head of the second young master." As she described, the white screen showed the process of how the machine worked. "As you can see, in just two seconds the machine takes the color from the paper, reproduces the color and paints back. If you make mistakes, there isn't a problem. The machine will take care of it. If it's clothing, then it will take off the threads of the cloth and sew by itself. If it's a report, it will take the color off and write down the way you want it. If it's a design, the process is still same. But, you have be specific when you think of creating the new design. Always focus. This way the machine won't have any problem. After all, it is an Artificial Intelligence."
Everyone clapped aloud. They really liked this new creation.
Mu Lan depicted the machine's structure. "It is thirty inches long and ten inches wide. Its weight is one kilogram. It has a special case in case, is there any accident. This case is both fire and water proof."
Her words were covered by thunderous applauses.
After the whole ballroom calmed down, Mu Lan started, "That's not the end. I think you have seen some dolls placed around the ballroom. Have you thought that those were for decoration?" She chuckled while reading their minds. "Not really. You see, some of them even serving you in disguise of butlers. Have you noticed it? There are all professional AI guards who know martial skills like karate, kung fu, akido. Accept for that, these AI can be your personal assistant. It can do all the office works without any mistakes and also can do household chores. Moreover, it can help you dress up for many occasions and can give you advises in professional and personal lives. Aside from that it knows cooking, swimming, driving, massaging and can speak in all the languages in the world including dead language Latin. It can also help you with business negotiation. Do you need a life partner after that? Why don't you check it by yourself?"
Mu Lan programmed a robot and handed the remote control to a businessman. The robot came on the stage and performed whatever it was ordered to do.
After the testing, Mu Lan said, "This AI cannot be hacked unless you give the password to someone else. After the log in, it will perform everything you command, however, it has values and morality. Something injustice cannot be done by it. If you want to change the program you only have to seek for us. If you think you can change the program with some programmer, don't even think about it. They can't break the code. With tight security you can use it without any headache."
Mu Lan bowed after saying, "That is all. Thank you for giving your full attention. Now, it's auction time. I'm handing over the microphone to the second young master."
The PR Department recorded everything and it was being a live telecast in the official page of Mu Corporation. Millions of businessmen were gnashing their teeth for not able to be there.
Mu Liang was looking at the large screen and drinking his bird nest soup. Watching her glowing in the stage, he couldn't help but smile and yet also felt envious of those men who could see her up close.
'She did a good thing wearing a mask. Or I'm not sure how would I protect her from those unwanted enemies.' That's what he was thinking. He realized that he couldn't keep her under his care for long. She was gloriously shining on her own.
Mu Feng took the mike and said, "First, we will bring the projector."
The stage was divided and the projector came up.
The businessmen were given the numbers. They showed their numbers and started counted.
"Ninety thousands!" The first number was this high, but wasn't close to billion.
The second person said, "Ten million!"
"Twenty million!"
"Thirty million!"
"Sixty million!"
Soon the people grouped into two groups and started having clash, but none of them backed down. Everyone wanted everything. These super class machines weren't easy to get by. And they were all top rated businessmen, so they cared less about money.
"Ninety seven million and eighty thousand dollars one, ninety seven million and eighty thousand dollars two, ninety seven million and eighty thousand dollars three, the projector is sold to X Corporation." Mu Feng announced.
The Accounting Department already began counting.
"The next item is the corrector machine." Mu Feng spoke. He was getting excited.
"Sixty million!" Everyone gasped as they heard the number. It was pretty priceless item, everyone wanted it.
"Sixty five million!"
"Seventy million!"
"Eighty six million!"
"Ninety million!"
"Ninety nine million!"
"One billion!"
The ballroom quiet down. Then it became festive.
"One billion thirty million!"
"One billion forty five million!"
"One billion sixty million eighty thousands!"
"One billion ninety million seventy thousand dollars one. one billion ninety million seventy thousand dollars two, one billion ninety million seventy thousand dollars three, the corrector goes to Ge Corporation." Mu Feng declared.
The other companies sighed. They couldn't believe that this item would be taken by Ge Corporation.
A certain pair of grey eyes drifted around and found what they were looking for. It was a tiny human being who wasn't supposed to be there.
