[Chapter 137: A Gift]
[Chapter 137: A Gift]
"Here, I can make a bold prediction that in the future, 89% of people will have the opportunity to blow out the candle flame for their 150th birthday." Ren Hong looked at everyone with a smile and said.
There was a bang.
The audience was in an uproar, and everyone was not calm. If the front was just shock, then at this moment, everyone didn't know how to describe the mood at this moment, but one thing was very clear in their thinking, and that was ...... Will the people who live today live to be 150 years old?
"Is this true?" Someone in the audience couldn't help but shout, everyone looked at Ren Hong on the stage in unison, this news is too explosive, comparable to a nuclear bomb, everyone feels that they are dreaming, hoping to get a reaffirmative reply from the other party.
Seriously.
That's the idea for almost everyone.
Ren Hong saw that someone interrupted his speech halfway, but he did not feel annoyed by this, but replied with a smile in the direction of the source of the voice: "Yes, and the cost is very low, just to occupy an extremely insignificant part of the wealth of an ordinary person's life." ”
Ren Hong's words made the ordinary viewers watching the video breathe even faster, before that, they were shocked but subconsciously thought that 150-year-old life may only be enjoyed by the rich, and ordinary people can't afford it at all, but at this moment, Ren Hong's words undoubtedly rekindled their already shattered hopes.
Ren Hong's figurative metaphor: "The cost of replicating a 'kidney' from this device is composed of DNA sample analysis, the amount of biomass required, the electricity consumption of the device, and the cost of the device itself. That said, the overall cost of manufacturing a kidney averages between $800 and $1,000. ”
There is no doubt that everyone, whether they are there or watching the live broadcast. The moment turned from amazement to shock to excitement. Before today, or a few hours ago. They could never have imagined that something like this would happen a few hours later.
In an instant, I learned that my lifespan could be doubled. Even ordinary people can enjoy it, what is this experience? No one said anything specific, and they didn't know what to say.
The next moment, the audience erupted in thunderous applause, and even the audience who was watching the live broadcast stared at the screen and clapped hard, and even roared excitedly in front of the computer. At the scene, this violent applause directly interrupted Ren Hong's words, making it impossible for him to continue speaking normally, so he had no choice but to stop first.
At this moment. Everyone in the audience got up from their chairs, and they all applauded hard, from the bottom of their hearts. When the eyes of the audience were sent to the young people on the stage, this moment was all from the heart of respect and gratitude.
Because this young man will double the lifespan of the entire human race.
"It's a gift from God!" A foreign scholar who was trying to applaud said excitedly, his emotions difficult to hide.
"I'm glad we live in this era. This is the well-being of all mankind!! Another person said, a journalist.
But the thunderous applause at the scene directly drowned out the sound of their speech.
On the stage, Ren Hong nodded lightly with a smile, and looked at everyone in the audience who looked at him with a saluting gaze. For a long time, the applause still did not subside. But Ren Hong's voice sounded again, and the applause finally came to an end.
"I think every large medical institution and every urban area should have at least one of these devices, obviously. This great invention will benefit all of humanity. ”
There is no doubt that everyone present can conclude from this sentence that Ren Hong is commercializing his products at the moment. To be exact, the whole process from the beginning to the present is in a sense. It's all propaganda for commercialization. Still, no one was uncomfortable with it. There are no grievances either.
The birth of this new biotechnology is enough to affect the entire human civilization, and almost no one with a modicum of common sense will question this. And it is very likely to change the current medical system of the whole world, and even subvert it again. The most intuitive thing is that in the past, patients could only keep "repairing" their damaged body functions, repairing and repairing, and if they couldn't repair it, they were basically waiting for death. However, after the birth of this technology, it has become a reality to replace "parts" frequently, and the rapid birth and low cost have made it possible for everyone to consume and save more lives, which has an immeasurable impact on the entire human society.
Moreover, the birth of this technology will completely bid farewell to the illegal profession of human organ trafficking, when this technological achievement is popularized in the world, the organs that are originally rarer than real gold will be unprofitable, and this gray industry will also be self-defeating, thus indirectly cracking the bad behavior of some organizations and individuals engaged in illegal human plunder.
After this series of foreshadowing and elaboration, Ren Hong finally said the key points that everyone cares about.
"On the issue of the commercialization of this technology and this device." Ren Hong said: "The company has decided to launch the finished product on the market in three months, and appointments can also be made after today. The normal service life of each piece of equipment is about 5 years, and the working time can reach 22 hours a day. ”
How much does it cost? When many people heard Ren Hong say this, they were thinking about this question in their hearts, but the thoughts in everyone's hearts were basically the same, this magical device with the "power of the creator" would definitely not be cheap.
“…… The price of the external sale is: $120 million. And the maintenance cost is between $30 million for five years. ”
$120 million!!
$120 million for a piece of equipment? It's not ordinary, but the scene became calm again except for a burst of unexpected exclamation, think about it, compared to the capabilities it has, no one thinks that $120 million feels expensive, plus the maintenance costs add a total of $150 million, but how many people in need can a piece of equipment help in a year? Moreover, such a device can be completely profitable externally, and 5 years is enough to recover the cost and make a profit, because the cost of helping a person is not high, but the external price can be increased within a reasonable range.
Ren Hong was talking about the actual sky-high price, but the people present were not surprised, but calm and even surprised, because this technology is like having the "power of the creator", which can hardly be measured by price.
Finally, it's time for reporters to ask questions.
I saw a female reporter from a domestic newspaper sitting in the front row of the wing stand up and said, "Mr. Ren, there are two questions I hope you can answer. ”
"Please!" Ren Hong waved his hand in a gesture of invitation and nodded lightly.
"Can you tell us how high your IQ is?"
"Explosion!"
"I suspect you're an alien!"
"I don't know if you've been so skeptical of Tesla and Einstein."
Ren Hong chuckled and nodded at the reporter, and answered her two questions very quickly and easily, and the answers to the two questions showed unparalleled confidence, and even arrogant to the point of being on a par with Einstein and Tesla, I am afraid that no one dares to do this except him.
