"Is there anything strange about them opening their own assembly center?" Before Chen Shen could speak, someone else in the group had already spoken.

Weiwei quickly forwarded a piece of news to the group and explained: "The president of Eddie said that in the future, they will not only open their assembly centers abroad, but also in major cities in China. ”

Because the circumstances of each person's amputation are different, the prosthesis is not directly attached to the human body, but needs to be attached to the residual limb through a device called a socket.

This socket can only be made on-site according to the characteristics of the installer, and many assembly centers have been born.

Generally, the installation technician of the assembly center takes and repairs the amputated part, records the characteristics of the installer's residual limb, and then uses resin, silicone and other materials to make a suitable receiving cavity, and then the installer can usually use the prosthesis through the socket.

This is also the reason why the prosthesis was not directly fitted to Uncle Wu in the last test, and it could not be installed at all without a suitable socket.

Therefore, the quality of the socket has a significant impact on the use of the prosthesis by the installer.

These assembly centers generally do not produce prosthetics and parts, but only provide prosthetic assembly and after-sales service, and their prosthetics are purchased from prosthetic manufacturers.

These different assembly centers are located in various cities and have the resources of local hospitals, which can often meet patients and market their services through hospital recommendations at the first time of amputation.

Prosthetic manufacturers generally have their own assembly centers, but the number is not as good as that of bulk assembly centers, and they are often a kind of flagship store-like existence.

After watching the news, everyone already understood what Eddie meant.

The opening of their directly operated assembly centers in major cities in China clearly means to directly enter the country.

Now they were a little panicked.

"They decided to enter the domestic market so quickly?"

"I heard that yes, the Haval technology they invested in seems to be quite mature."

Everyone remembered the prosthetic sample they completed some time ago, and they didn't know if it could compare to the brain-controlled prosthetic in the Haval video.

After all, Professor Fawkes claims that their prosthetic leg can restore the sense of touch.

It's a feature they've never thought about right now.

Chen Shen looked at the group and suddenly panicked, slightly speechless.

These recent college graduates have spent all their time in their college careers on myoelectric prosthetics, and they are similar to a layman in the new field of brain-controlled prosthetics.

I didn't know that there were big limitations to the technology that the other party could use.

Fortunately, Ma Zhen, as the captain, can still stabilize his mentality......

However, as soon as this thought floated past in his heart, Ma Zhen came directly to him:

"God, what are we going to do now?"

There are several dead eunuchs who shouted in the palace, "The emperor and foreigners are in".

A bunch of weak chickens!

Just lie down and scream!

Chen Shen was speechless, and quickly typed the next sentence: "You all go to make up for me the basic knowledge of brain-controlled prosthetics, and see the technical principles of their prosthetics!" ”

For a while, the group fell silent, and no one dared to speak again.

Chen Shen also stopped looking at the group, and turned his head to check the plasma cannon with everyone.

……

At this time, on the other side of the ocean.

The headquarters of Eddie is brightly lit.

Mike, the president of Eddie, was at a meeting, and among the participants were the vice president and secretary of Eddie, as well as Professors Fox and Osman from Haval.

The crowd gathered to discuss the issue of brain-controlled prosthetics.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a pleasure to meet you here."

Mike stood up and watched as the people present began his own opening remarks.

He is a tall white man with a mature charm that is characteristic of a middle-aged man.

"First of all, our strategy has already had the first phase of success, we have successfully defeated the genius of the East, and the eyes of the public have shifted to us, and countless people are expecting us to make a difference in the prosthetic industry."

Every word Mike says, you can feel the confidence in his heart.

"Our next stage of task is to set up a branch to run our brain-controlled prosthetic brand and business, tentatively named Angel, and our prosthetics will be like an angel to save people who are desperate because of their mutilated limbs."

"At the same time, we are looking for suitable locations around the world to set up our assembly centers and factories, especially assembly centers, not only at home, but also abroad."

Professor Fox raised his hand, he knew more about the assembly center: "I don't think we need to set up an assembly center abroad for the time being, we just need to sell our products abroad." ”

President Mike shook his head and sat back in his chair: "No, Professor Fox, you are an academic and you don't know the ropes of doing business. ”

"The amount of money you invested in brain-controlled prosthetics before was calculated in hundreds of millions, and these costs plus the funds we invested, the basic cost of the new company was nearly one billion, plus the subsequent investment and operation of the factory and assembly center, or we will continue to support your subsequent research, the cost will be higher."

Mike gave Fawkes an apologetic smile.

"Such a large amount of money, I am angry and bluntly said, I am afraid that I will not be able to earn it back in more than ten years."

Fox smiled wryly, not taking this sentence seriously, he also knew that the cost of his brain-controlled prosthetic was too high, and the number of people who could afford it was very limited.

The limited customer base, coupled with the huge R&D, production, and operating costs, and the already mature myoelectric prosthetics in the industry are competing, and they may not be able to sell much in a year, and there is really little hope for them to return to their original costs within more than ten years.

Mike snapped his fingers, "That's why we have to give up on the idea that it's going to be profitable with normal business." ”

Everyone knew that the main drama was coming.

Mike stood up again and said in a rather infectious tone: "Our positioning of Angel Prosthetics is a supplement to the image of our Eddie Group, the combination of people with disabilities and cutting-edge technology, the combination of the two can not only deepen the public's image of our technology group, but also increase their favorability of our brand." ”

"And the assembly centers we have set up in various cities are the best publicity, it not only accepts people with disabilities, but ordinary people can also enter it to understand the great help of cutting-edge technology to the human body."

Everyone understands that this is a brand marketing, which is equivalent to using brain-controlled prosthetics to advertise, and while gaining fame, you can also gain the favor of the public, and at the same time, you can also get the relevant technology of brain-controlled prosthetics.

The vice president of Eddie Group looked at his boss and knew in his heart that this smart boss had other plans, and he would definitely use the angel prosthesis to succeed and launch a new round of financing when the brand image was sublimated......

In this way, the group's valuation will usher in a new round of increases, and at the same time, it will be able to smoothly obtain new investment.

Think about it this way, this is a good thing to eat four fish.
