Chapter 109: Foreign Assembly Centers (For the hall master's 10-year-old bookworm to add more here, ask for recommendations)
There was light snow in the sky.
Jack walks the streets of Apple City, wearing a down jacket and his hands in his pockets, next to his mother, who had just arrived in the city from somewhere else.
"Jack, let's call a car first." The mother took out her phone from her bag and complained, "Your damn father only cares about his work and his work...... I won't come over for such a big thing! ”
"This damn winter! It's always annoying! ”
Behind her, Jack said weakly, "I love winter." ”
At this moment, a sudden storm struck Jack from behind, knocking him to a stumbling ground, and the sleeve of his left hand, which was originally tightly tied in his pocket, was blown out.
The sleeves that have no support for them dance in the wind like a Japanese fish dragon flag.
"But I hate the winter wind." Jack pouted, grabbed his fluttering sleeve with his right hand, adjusted his position, and expertly tucked it back into his pocket.
"Dididi!"
A taxi, seeing his fluttering sleeves, thought it was beckoning, had stopped in front of them.
"It really helped me!" The mother hurriedly grabbed Jack and walked to the back of the car.
The taxi driver glanced in the rearview mirror and already knew in his heart, "Angular or Eddie's prosthetic fitting center?" ”
"Edges, how do you know?" Mother had just sat down.
"He's got my sleeve on it......" Jack deliberately sat behind the driver, then lowered his head and muttered.
When the taxi started, the driver shook his head and smiled: "Recently, people like you have only come to these two destinations in this city. ”
"You've picked up a lot of people who have been there?"
"Of course, there are a few of them every day, some of them are veterans, some of you are like you, there are even poor people in wheelchairs, and sometimes I will pick up repeat customers from a few days ago downstairs in the assembly center." The driver talks eloquently while expertly navigating the city roads.
"How do the edges compare to Eddie? I've been to Eddie, and the price isn't something we can afford, and Jack may not be able to have surgery. "Jack's mother unconsciously grabbed her bag, the cost of the prosthesis, plus the cost of an operation, they simply couldn't afford it.
The taxi drove fast, and the driver's answer was not slow at all, "Haha, I've never received a repeat customer downstairs in Eddie's assembly center, Eddie only plays domestically made brands, and other shit is not." ”
"If you're not at ease, you can try it out for yourself, and you'll see the prosthetic leg moving with you, which Eddie's prosthetic can't do."
The taxi driver has recently relied on chatting with passengers, and has mastered a lot of relevant information, chatting with the two mothers and sons along the way, without repeating a word.
When they arrived at the assembly center, the two mothers and children got off the bus.
In front of a small building, the first floor has been transformed into an external display window, some robot models with very advanced design, in front of the window to show a variety of sports and healthy postures, and in their hands, the installation is the angular Nezha generation, unique wind and spark pattern, this time has been firmly remembered by many people in the world.
Jack immediately approached the window and looked at the prosthetic leg on display inside like a child looking at a Christmas present.
It's not the center of the city, it's already on the outskirts of the city, but it's a lot of people.
Looking inside from the window, it's like a Wal-Mart supermarket, where many customers are "shopping".
It's very different from Eddie's.
"Mom, let's go!" Jack took his mother's hand in a rare move, almost dragging her in.
"Welcome to the Angular Assembly Center." As soon as I entered, someone came to receive me.
Jack's mother patted her son beside her, "I want you to see my son, I don't know if he can fit your prosthetic leg." ”
"OK, now register for you, which hand do you need to install, and which assembler would you like to serve you?" The receptionist asked.
"Left hand, the best one."
"Well, maybe you'll have to wait seven days." The receptionist looked at the list of appointments on the computer.
"So long?" The two were surprised.
"Yes, even the shortest one has to wait two days."
"However, during this period, you can test first, determine the assembly plan, and when the assembler is free, he will install it directly for you."
Looking at the people in the hall, some people are waiting, some are visiting, and there are even a few people who have been fitted with prosthetics and are doing acclimatization training.
Jack couldn't help but ask, "How many prosthetics have you fitted these days?" ”
The receptionist thought for a moment, "We've probably helped two thousand gentlemen and ladies." ”
"How much?" Jack's mother clutched her bag, she was more concerned about the issue.
"It's usually less than 40,000 dollars, which is more expensive than other types of prosthetics, but you can see the effect." The receptionist pointed to a few people not far away who were undergoing prosthetic training.
Watching the nimble movements of those people, Jack was envious, but his sleeves were only empty.
"Well, please tell us more about it." Jack's mother hugged her son tightly......
Eddie Headquarters.
Mike was listening to his secretary talk about the current plight of the angelic generation.
To sum it up simply, the technology can't be compared, the reputation can't be compared, the price can't be compared, and the only thing that can be compared is popularity, because everyone knows that their new plan for Eddie - the angel generation has been frustrated.
In short, three words, I can't beat it.
"According to you, are we going to withdraw the angelic generation from the market now?" Mike threw the report on his desk, and the secretary was silent for a long time.
Mike can't vent his anger, the dismal sales of the angel generation have long been expected by him, this is just a vane of his hype, as long as it can trigger people's imagination for the future, for Eddie's imagination will be earned.
Who knew that the angel met Nezha of the Eastern God System, and his wings were raised by Hot Wheels.
There is no comparison to blow a wave of future direction, cutting-edge technology, after the comparison, the market's evaluation of Eddie has declined, resulting in his new round of financing has not started until now.
It took a long time for the secretary to dare to speak on the side.
"I think there's a way to save the situation."
Mike glanced at him, "Say it." ”
"I think Nezha's generation of products may have potential unknown safety risks, and we can apply for a permanent ban on it in China."
Mike almost immediately understood what the secretary meant, and unleashed the influence of their big business to block it directly from the national level.
However, he quickly shook his head again, saying that a permanent ban might not be realistic.
It's just a prosthetic leg, and even if it's cutting-edge technology, the importance is not enough to block it, which is different from a company shaking their information hegemony.
However, he immediately thought of another plan, although it can't be banned for a long time, but it can be banned for a short time!
As long as the performance of the angel generation can improve during the lockdown period, he can take advantage of this time to complete the financing, and the angel generation can abandon it later......
Plan to pass!
