Chapter 162: Mechanical Exoskeleton
While it is not a problem for Ascendas to produce high-end prostheses and wheelchairs, the key point is not production, but how to sell them for a super profit.
For this reason, Evans and Owen are now going to China to discuss with Zhuang Jianye how to make a name for themselves.
After several negotiations, several of them set their eyes on the famous British theoretical physicist Steve Hawking, the reason why he chose Hawking is very simple, because he is a traffic star in the academic circle at that time, the brand is hard enough, the influence is big enough, the key is that Hawking is a person with deep ALS, a disabled person in the disabled, and he can't do without a wheelchair in his life.
The problem is what Zhuang Jianye and they saw, other medical equipment manufacturers in the world are also staring at what is under Hawking's buttocks, and they don't need Hawking to speak, and the major manufacturers don't want money every year to pile up their best wheelchairs to Hawking's house.
As a new entrant in this field, FK Medical Technology Company is far inferior to the old manufacturers in terms of strength and popularity, let alone let Hawking use his own brand, it is as difficult as a blue sky to meet in person.
At the critical moment, Evans, who was full of male charm, stepped forward, first slept with the female manager of Hawking's scientific research fund, and then somehow got pushed by Hawking's most trusted academic female assistant; and then accidentally spent three romantic nights with Hawking's housekeeper in a coastal villa; finally Evans fell under the pomegranate skirt of Hawking's second daughter, and stayed and flew all kinds of joys.
In fact, Evans's end point is not Hawking's daughter, but Hawking's current wife, but this topic is too sensitive, and Evans mentioned it to Zhuang Jianye.
Zhuang Jianye, who heard the news at that time, shivered all over his body, and secretly said in his heart that it was good that Evans had not read China's "Water Margin", otherwise after sleeping Hawking's wife slept high, what would he do if there was a drama of "Da Lang, should I take medicine"?
All in all, in short, whether it was green Hawking or Hawking, Evans used his body to lie flat all the way and slept in front of Hawking, so Evans, who had a good kidney, immediately showed his inhuman side.
Funded Hawking's Science Fund, published Hawking's monographs, funded Hawking's scientific research projects, helped Hawking to help poor children in Africa, and established Hawking Scholarships around the world......
Anyway, money is like waste paper, snowflakes like flowers, coupled with the intentional or unintentional hints of a group of women around him who have been fortunate by Evans, Hawking finally found that Evans is a good person, and at the same time, he also realized that the wheelchair under his ass is becoming more and more unusable.
So during a walk between the two, Hawking said that his condition was serious again, and the wheelchair he was in now could not keep up with the rhythm, and it was not very convenient for his daily life.
Evans didn't say anything, and patted his chest as if he had paid for it before: "Professor, wrap it around me, and I promise to build you a super wheelchair that is unique in the world." ”
As a result, the FK-1500H wheelchair designed and manufactured by Tengfei Group came into being.
The metal structure of the wheelchair is all made of titanium alloy, the panel is made of T500 carbon fiber composite materials, and three small laser gyroscopes are set inside to achieve omnidirectional stability of the wheelchair, even if the wheelchair is lifted 90 degrees, it can also return to the horizontal position according to the characteristics of the gyroscope.
The wheelchair is equipped with a newly developed lidar system developed by Tengfei Group, which can accurately identify surrounding obstacles, and prompt and avoid them.
In addition, the shock absorption system, the power system and even the ride experience are the top ideas of the Ascendas Group, without which the cost of such a wheelchair would not have reached $1.87 million.
However, this investment is obviously very cost-effective for Ascendas Group, because he is very happy to get the FK-1500H wheelchair, which means that the FK-1500H meets all his requirements for wheelchairs.
Get this evaluation, and the rest will be easier to do.
Evans and Owen quickly began to spread the slogan "A wheelchair that meets all Hawking's needs?" as an advertising slogan in Europe and the United States.
At the same time, under the arrangement of Tengfei Group, the disabled servicemen who have been fitted with prosthetic limbs produced by Tengfei Group have organized groups to visit abroad, especially to participate in amateur sports events held by disabled clubs in some European and American countries.
Each time, Chinese disabled servicemen equipped with FK prostheses were able to beat their opponents in these amateur events.
Among them, Zou Hui, a sniper who was received by the head of the headquarters, used a prosthetic leg made of carbon fiber that resembled a leaf spring, and ran a record of 9.89 seconds in an amateur sprint event held in San Diego, USA.
In an instant, the FK "Blade" became a coveted hit for people with lower limb disabilities in the United States.
There is no way, being able to help a person with a broken leg run faster than [5200 www.bqg5200.biz] normal people is not only a confidence for those who are suffering from disabilities, but also the courage to continue to live.
Hawking's wheelchair plus the "blade" prosthetic leg suddenly made FK a sudden rise in the field of prosthetics and wheelchairs, and the well-known FK launched several products one after another.
It is either a hydraulically assisted arm or a power prosthetic leg that can be retracted freely.
All in all, FK's products are just like their slogan: what you lack, let FK give you a more perfect one.
Of course, the slogan is always beautiful, and the price is even more beautiful to the explosion, the ordinary hydraulic power assisted prosthetic arm, the price of FK is as high as 80,000 US dollars, if you choose titanium alloy, electric servo drive, can be used for simple grasping of high-end arms, then the price is not to see, between 380,000 and 1 million US dollars.
Among them was a Middle Eastern tycoon who broke his arm because of his car, and ordered a half arm studded with jewels and diamonds, which cost up to $3 million.
The prosthetic arm, the prosthetic leg and the wheelchair are even taller than the other, and they have become the top luxury goods in this field.
"This ...... This...... This ......"
After listening to Zhuang Jianye's narration, Rao is head of the headquarters was also stunned when he was well-informed, and he didn't have a reason for this for a long time, so he held back for a long time before he said a sentence: "This is too dark, a wheelchair costs millions of yuan, who can afford it?"
Zhuang Jianye didn't know that the head of the headquarters really complained that he had made the price too high, so that the people in China could not use such high-end prostheses and wheelchairs, and the implication was that he hoped that Zhuang Jianye could reduce the domestic price to benefit the disabled people in China.
However, Zhuang Jianye didn't seem to understand what the head of the headquarters meant, but said with a smile: "Chief, I think the headquarters can fund our Tengfei Group in this regard. ”
"Subsidies? 1 billion, 800 million?" As soon as the head of the headquarters heard this, he was furious, and the military equipment was counted, but what were prostheses and wheelchairs? He really wanted to subsidize, and the top was not allowed to go crazy, so he immediately did not give Zhuang Jianye a good face: "Do you think everyone is like you, a capitalist's black heart? Besides, the enterprises that can sell prosthetics for $3 million still lack one billion or eight hundred million dollars?"
"No, chief, I'm serious, because we've made another cutting-edge technology by making high-end prosthetics. ”
"What high-tech?"
"Mechanical exoskeleton!"
"Mechanical exoskeleton?cut~~ I thought it was a good ......" The head of the headquarters snorted coldly with disdain at first, but the next moment he came to his senses, and his voice suddenly changed tone: "What? You said you made a mechanical exoskeleton?"
