"Mr. Ma, I asked someone to check the news from the north, and eight or nine are not far from ten."

In a luxuriously decorated mid-mountain villa, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked unhurriedly.

His name is Li Jiayun, who is engaged in the medical industry in Dahua District, and Ma Tingqiang are both old friends and business partners.

"Li Sheng, thank you! Don't drink tea! ”

Ma Tingqiang's face was overjoyed, and he personally served a hot tea to the other party.

There was a turmoil in his heart, as a competitive man, even if he was born with wealth that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, he could not heal his crippled right leg.

This is the regret of his life, like a barb, pierced in his heart.

What do the people outside call him?

The second lame hao on Hong Kong Island!

Drop the thunder and plot it!

Who would love such a nickname!

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture, and by the way, I helped you inquire about the full set of medical expenses, which will cost about 80 million US dollars."

Li Jiayun played with the Patek Philippe watch in his hand and wrote lightly.

$80 million?

Ma Tingqiang's face trembled when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, Rao couldn't help but feel a surprise with his net worth and status.

"This ...... Grab the money! ”

He said in a muffled voice, his tone extremely unhappy.

"Monopoly business, they are the only ones in the world who have mastered this technology, and it is normal for them to be a little more expensive."

Li Jiayun said with a smile.

Ma Tingqiang frowned, looked at his right leg in a daze, and finally sighed and said, "Li Sheng, please help contact me, I am willing to do this operation." ”

"Mr. Ma, don't you want to wait?"

Li Jiayun asked rhetorically.

The implication is that after all, this is a new technology, and after a year and a half, after the product and process are mature, the success of the operation will be higher, and the rejection reaction can be reduced to a minimum.

The risk must be minimized, and this is what the rich should consider!

"I have an uncle who was paralyzed in a car accident nine years ago, and when I got married, I promised my wife that I would help her take care of the little guy no matter what."

Ma Tingqiang smiled slightly, disapprovingly.

"Really? Mr. Ma is really a believer, no wonder he can marry the most beautiful Zhao Min! ”

Li Jiayun said this, but he sneered in his heart, and scolded secretly: "It is worthy of being a cub of a flour horse, and he has inherited some things." ”

Ma Tingqiang didn't think that his idea was wrong, and he looked calm and indifferent.

With 80 million US dollars in medical expenses, what's wrong with him as a guinea pig? Ordinary people want to do it, but they don't have a chance yet!

"Li Sheng, you have to worry about this matter."

He picked up his teacup and smiled.

"No problem! Then I'll go back first, and I'll give you an exact reply when everything is all done. ”

Li Jiayun got up and said goodbye.

"Ah Ming, help send Li Sheng."

Ma Tingqiang waved his hand, and a personal assistant behind him immediately opened the door and diligently transported Li Jia to the gate of the villa.

After a while, the door of the study was pushed open, and he looked up to see that it was his wife who had been with him for many years.

"Husband, I heard that there is a company in Yancheng that has developed a biochip, which is implanted in the body, which can make people with reduced mobility stand up again, I ......"

The dignified and beautiful wife, when she said this, hesitated.

"You want A-Ying to be treated?"

Ma Tingqiang asked with a smile, he didn't know how to speak, but now his wife took the initiative to mention it, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"I had this idea, that is, the surgery was too expensive."

Li Zhi looked embarrassed.

If it was 8 million or 80 million Hong Kong bills, she could still grit her teeth and barely make it up.

But this is 80 million US dollars, which is also an astronomical amount on Hong Kong Island.

"Money is not an issue, I promised you that I would help you take care of A-Ying."

Ma Tingqiang did not hesitate at all, and said loudly.

"Thank you, husband, you are so good to me."

Li Zhijiao said angrily, sitting next to Ma Tingqiang, holding her husband's arm, with a sweet look in her eyes.

Although she is forty-five years old this year, money is really a thing!

Judging from her appearance and figure alone, she seems to be in her early thirties, and she is ripe like a peach, which is also the main reason why Ma Tingqiang loves her.

……

"Boss, the Ma family on Hong Kong Island wants to visit you."

Zhang Nan called.

"The White Horse Family?"

Chen Heyu teased.

He has never had any contact with the wealthy businessmen on Hong Kong Island, and he was really surprised that the other party suddenly came to the door.

"Yes, boss."

Zhang Nan understood in seconds, and instantly understood what Chen Heyu meant, so he replied with a smile.

"Nope! It's good for you to come and deal with it. ”

Chen Heyu said in a deep voice.

Isn't it fragrant to accompany your wife at home? To meet the second generation of a flour family is a pure waste of life.

"Boss, I understand."

Zhang Nan agreed.

Chen Hayu smiled, and then hung up the phone.

The afterglow fell on the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and there was not much left of the plate full of grapes just now.

"Aunt Liu, wash another plate."

He commanded loudly, took Luo Wenwen into his arms, gently stroked his round belly, and occasionally felt the little guy turning over.

"Yes, sir, I'll be right here."

Aunt Liu was in the kitchen when she heard Chen Heyu's shouting and hurriedly responded.

"Why do you eat so many raisins?"

Chen Heyu said gently.

"I read on the Internet that when you are pregnant, eat more grapes, so that your baby's eyes can be full and beautiful."

Luo Wenwen held her little head high, a pretty face was close at hand, and there was still grape juice at the corner of her mouth, and she smiled lightly.

"Daughters generally follow their father's appearance, isn't it enough for me to have such bright and bright eyes?"

Chen Heyu lowered his head and pecked lightly to suck the grape juice away.

"Hee-hee."

Luo Wenwen giggled, her fair face flushed with a layer of pink, lying on her side in his arms, quietly listening to his heartbeat.

"Buzz~!"

The phone vibrated again!

Chen Heyu was helpless, reached out and took it, and the caller was Zhou An, the personal secretary of the Shanghai boss.

"Secretary Zhou, what's the matter?"

He pressed the answer button and asked casually.

"There's something for you, Mr. Deakens of the Beer Country Power Division, who has a young son who was in a car accident two years ago and lost a leg and an arm.

He wants to buy an electrode array to control a mechanical prosthetic ......"

Zhou An explained slowly.

Since the microelectrode array is not publicly sold, it can only be obtained through the official channel of Shanhai Hospital, queuing up for electrode implantation surgery.

"20 million US dollars a knife."

Chen Heyu thought for a while and said, in the face of rich people, especially foreigners, he will not be merciful.

the dragon slayer machete directly!

"How dare you open your mouth! Ashis's power resources, if Mr. Deacens nods, are you still afraid that you won't be able to sell them? ”

Zhou An said with a smile.

"One yard to one yard! If he's willing to pay twice the price for Ashland's electricity, I'll give him a few electrode chips for free. ”

Chen Heyu pouted.

In order to develop the carrier of invasive brain-computer interfaces, he smashed tens of billions of funds back and forth, so he had to return some blood first, right?

"You...... Okay, I see. ”

Zhou An couldn't cry or laugh, he could see that in a short period of time, the price of the microelectrode array would stabilize at a terrifying sky-high price.

"Student Chen, with such a high price, few people in the world can afford it, and if the brain-computer interface technology is to be applied on a large scale, isn't it far away?"

Luo Wenwen wondered.

"Don't underestimate the rich, the number of people who can afford this price is at least hundreds of thousands in the world.

What's more, I am also robbing the rich to help the poor, the rescue plan of Future Technology and Shanhai Hospital, without the contribution of these rich people, I can't stand it alone. ”

Chen Heyu smiled lightly.

He slaughtered these fat sheep!

Meanwhile.

Touch Bionics in the fog country, Ottobock in the beer country, and the APL laboratory of Hawkingpus University in the beautiful country all sent representatives to Yancheng to purchase electrode chips for research and sales.

But when they learned the price of 20 million US dollars a piece, they collectively couldn't hold back.

“Shit！ You guys are robbing Chiguoguo! ”

"Mr. Zhang, the price of 20 million US dollars is extremely unreasonable and groundless!"

"In the future, technology should be affordable so that people with mobility disabilities around the world can enjoy the convenience brought by scientific and technological progress."

The representatives of the three companies immediately slapped the table with a look of anger.

"However, the i-Limb quantum bionic hand sold by your company also has a large number of ordinary patients in Dahua District, and cannot afford this expenditure.

Are you willing to reduce it to 1,000 yuan a unit? ”

Zhang Nan said slowly.

The representative of Touch Bionics was immediately speechless, and the price of an i-Limb quantum bionic hand was 25,000-80,000 fog coins, which was 25-700,000 Chinese dollars after conversion.

Not to mention the Chinese people, most of the fog people can't afford it.

"But the price of 20 million US dollars is too high, if Mr. Zhang can lower the price some, I think the human race all over the world will be grateful to you."

The technical director of the APL laboratory at Hawkingpus University grinned and smiled.

"There's no way to lower the price."

Zhang Nan shook his head, his attitude was very resolute, just one meaning, do you like to buy it or not!

What do I want to be grateful for all mankind?

And you can't exchange money!

The representatives of the three companies looked at each other, and after some thought, they still agreed with tears.

There are a large number of super-rich people in Europe and North Berry Island, whose relatives and friends have lost the ability to walk due to congenital diseases or accidents, so they urgently need microelectrode arrays with future technology to change their existing lives.

As the "Patek Philippe" in the end effector, although the i-Limb quantum bionic hand can use gears or worm gear and worm devices to drive mechanical fingers to produce movements, it has been unable to solve the problems of complex structure, bulky, insufficient flexibility and slow response.

This electrode array of Future Technology can solve this problem!

The patient directly uses the neuronal signals in the cerebral cortex to send instructions to the robotic arm to achieve perfect human-machine interaction.

Experience the feeling of being reborn, with only 20 million US dollars, for some rich people, they will only feel cheap and unworthy of their status.

In the end, Touch Bionics bought 20 pieces!

Ottobock bought 10 pieces!

The APL lab at Hogkingpus University purchased 30 pieces!

The manufacturing cost is less than 60,000 Chinese dollars, but it is sold for a sky-high price of 1.2 billion US dollars!

The profit has increased by 200,000 times!

When the news was reported, some Chinese people were complacent:

"Cool crooked! Over the years, how much money have we been cheated by foreigners in the field of science and technology? Finally revenge is back! ”

"20 million US dollars per chip, this should be the most expensive electronic product in the world!"

"Flesh and blood, mechanical ascension! I heard that there is a super-rich man who has been paralyzed for many years in a beautiful country, and he directly replaced it with a set of robotic arms and mechanical legs, and now he can walk and run. ”

"But we can't afford it ourselves!"

When netizens saw this sentence, they were silent, yes, 20 million US dollars for a chip, 80 million US dollars for a full set of treatment fees.

Only the rich can enjoy this advanced technological product!

For a while, a large number of netizens left messages under the official Weibo of Future Technology, asking for a lower selling price.

"The production cost of a chip is up to 1,000 yuan, and in the future, science and technology will make a little less money and help more people, isn't it?"

"20 million US dollars, corporate executives will also go bankrupt!"

"Black-hearted merchants! treats the Chinese people with such an ugly face! ”

As time went on, the flavor slowly changed, the invective increased, and some people even began to call for a boycott of future technology.

It wasn't until someone stepped forward that the voices vanished in an instant.

In the video, a thin middle-aged man sat in a wheelchair, faced the camera, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Junteng, I don't know if anyone remembers me, I used to be a firefighter......"

"This name is so familiar!"

"Firefighter, Zhou Junteng, I found out, he was a firefighting hero three years ago! How did he become like this? ”

"On the news is a picture of him three years ago, when he was still a sunny young man......"

Through searching, netizens quickly found out Zhou Junteng's information, who risked his life in a fire three years ago, rescued six people, and finally fainted from exhaustion.

A year later, he rushed into the fire again to save people, but this time fate did not favor him.

His spine was broken by a red-hot steel column, his spinal cord was severely damaged, and the nerves in his brain to his body were completely severed.

A young man in his prime, just like that, he lost control of his body.

High paraplegia below the head, unable to take care of urine and urine, need to be fed by others, and completely rely on ventilators for breathing, becoming a complete waste.

“…… I thought about killing myself, but in reality, I couldn't even kill myself, so I lay in bed in a daze for two years.

It was Dr. Song Yuanzhou from Shanhai Hospital who gave me a chance to be reborn, and it was also the future technology company that took care of all the treatment costs.

Got me back on my feet......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Junteng stood up suddenly, trembling, obviously not proficient.

Like a toddler, step by step in front of the camera.

The family members next to him wanted to support him, but he waved his hand and refused.

His eyes were full of tears, and he stumbled and said, "Regarding the price of microelectrode chips, I also asked Dr. Song and Mr. Zhang, why do you sell them at such a high price?" ”

Mr. Zhang replied to me that the profit of a microelectrode chip can give 120 patients with impaired mobility a chance at a new life.

I thought it was just a high-sounding sentence, but it wasn't until I saw more and more firefighters, construction workers, food delivery workers, and inspectors in the hospital that I realized that it was definitely not an empty sentence.

Future Technology is using practical actions to fulfill their commitments, use science and technology to change life, and change the life of every ordinary person in China......"

When Zhou Junteng said the end, he couldn't cry.

The year of the accident, he was just a child, and when he knew that he could only lie in bed in the next life, all thoughts were lost.

His girlfriend was scolded away by him, his good brother was driven away by him, he was like a puddle of mud, and no one cared about him except his parents.

It was the staff of Future Technology who found him and listed him as the first batch of rescue targets.

For the first time, this fire hero became someone else's "rescue object".

Thankfully, the surgery went well, the rejection was almost non-existent, and he got back on his feet and gained mobility.

"The muscles are gone, but give me some time, and I can still practice back!"

Zhou Junteng had tears in his eyes and grinned, but he cried countless netizens.

"Woo woo woo ~ It turns out that the hero also has a family, a beloved girl, and a beloved family, and he will also feel scared ......"

"They sacrificed too much to save people."

"Zhou Junteng, when you recover, let's make an appointment and have a showdown between men!"

The last one, Huaguo's sprint champion, @ Zhou Junteng on Weibo, it is clear that he challenged a hero from the perspective of respect and politeness.

After that, the rescue plan of Future Technology was exposed to more and more detailed content.

Future Technology has taken out 70% of the proceeds of microelectrode chips to subsidize paralyzed patients in Huaguo.

For occupations such as firefighting, inspection, marching, and riders, if the family conditions are difficult, Shanhai Hospital will fully subsidize and be responsible for all expenses for surgery, hardware, and postoperative rehabilitation;

If the family is wealthy, Shanhai Hospital will subsidize half of it, and the total cost is less than 150,000 Chinese dollars;

In other words, as long as you are a Chinese and want to have electrode implantation surgery, the total expenditure is only 300,000 yuan, which is basically affordable.

Patients who are not financially well-off can also wait in line for subsidized places.
