The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 449 The Light of Mankind
With Hu Lai's personal advancement, the Phoenix Group established a prosthetics department, and the official start of research and development of prosthetics was soon finalized.

Today's Phoenix Group is no longer the original Phoenix Group.

After Hu Lai gave an order, the bionic robotic arm team that originally developed the "bionic robot" mobilized its backbone to start research and development of prosthetic mechanical joints and human kinematics engineering.

With previous experience and data in the development of "bionic robot" movement capabilities, the entire team's design and development of prosthetic mechanical joints is just like playing.

Although there is no ready-made data and design plan for the design and materials of the "socket" of prosthetics, Phoenix Group has accumulated a lot of experience in human body materials with its profound foundation.

Anyway...

With the establishment of the prosthetics project team, Phoenix Group's strong comprehensive research and development capabilities are fully demonstrated at this moment.

but.

Not long after the intensive research and development of the internal prosthetics project department of the Phoenix Group, because of the need to recruit volunteers for prosthetic testing, the news that the Phoenix Group entered the prosthetics industry suddenly spread like wildfire.

The Phoenix Group...has entered the prosthetics market?

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion on the Internet.

If you switch to other companies, it is not a big deal to enter a relatively small prosthetics market.

But the Phoenix Group is different.

The fame of the Phoenix Group is really too great, and its huge influence has already affected all walks of life in Yan Country. It is no exaggeration to say that even if the Phoenix Group farts, it will tremble three times.

but.

Netizens who heard the news after a short period of excitement were also a little confused. They didn't know why the Phoenix Group suddenly entered such a niche prosthetics market.

Logically speaking, a large company like the Phoenix Group should completely look down on niche markets like prosthetics.

This is like Papa Penguin with an annual revenue of 6000 billion, and you let him go to great lengths to represent World of Warcraft, which has an annual revenue of more than one billion. Too little mosquito meat has no motivation at all...

However, netizens were a little confused, but domestic prosthetic companies were completely panicked.

Good guy.

A super giant like the Phoenix Group actually entered the prosthetics industry?
Their original products were not very competitive, and their sales basically depended on low-end products.

The sudden intrusion of the Phoenix Group frightened them enough, and they frantically inquired about the news, wanting to find out what was going on.

In addition, Otto Bock and Ossur in North America, two major brand owners in North America, also caused turmoil within the two companies after they learned that Phoenix Group entered the prosthetics market.

In Ottobock's office.

"Phoenix Group wants to enter the prosthetics market?"

"Oh, Mygod! What a joke! Is it true that such a big technology company has too much food and nothing to do? Why do they want to enter the prosthetics market for no reason?!"

"What the hell! Are their executives all idiots? Didn't anyone tell them that the prosthetics market is not that big and that the entire industry doesn't make as much money as their main business?"

"They're here to join in the fun!"

Ronce paced the conference room frantically.

Just an hour ago, he was called back to the company from the golf course by an emergency call, and then he saw the news about the Phoenix Group recruiting "disabled volunteers" to develop prosthetics.

If it was another Yanguo company, he wouldn't panic at all, he has sufficient confidence in his own products.

Just kidding, so many years of hard work and research and development in the prosthetics market will always have its own core technology, which is not so easy to be imitated or surpassed!

but!

That's the Phoenix Group!

Although the Phoenix Group has not officially admitted, or even farted, the media reports that the Phoenix Group is recruiting "disabled volunteers" have proved that they are definitely starting to develop prosthetic products!

And Phoenix Group's research and development capabilities...who dare to question it? !

Thinking of this, Ronsi became even more restless.

Once the Phoenix Group really successfully develops a new prosthetic, the quality of the Phoenix Group's products in the past will undoubtedly have a huge impact on its own company's products!
Not to mention the global market, even the Yanguo market... 40% of Ottobock's revenue comes from the Yanguo market!
If this 40% share is lost, it is hard to imagine what kind of predicament the company will face and what kind of catastrophe it will cause!
so……!
Ronce took a deep breath. Even though the Phoenix Group officials did not confirm any news, it was no longer the time to question the authenticity of the news.

As the world's best prosthetics brand - Otto Bock must make changes in advance to deal with it!
He looked at the executives in the conference room, and said in a low voice:
"Although I don't know why the Phoenix Group has so many good businesses and doesn't do it, but came here to develop prosthetics, but we have to make some countermeasures now!"

"Everyone... In order to deal with the impact brought by the Phoenix Group's entry into the prosthetics market, do you have any good solutions?"

The voice fell, and the entire conference room was silent.

All Ottobock executives present were solemn, and the news of Phoenix Group entering the prosthetics market was also very shocking to them.

Fortunately, the oppressive atmosphere did not last long. After a while, an obvious Germanic executive above the conference table stood up and said:

"President Ronce, I think the first thing is that our sales strategy in Yan Country needs to be changed."

"Before, we didn't have any companies in Yan Country that could pose a threat to us. We could monopolize the entire prosthetic limb market in Yan Country with high prices..."

"But now that the Phoenix Group has tried to join in, we must make some adjustments in price in advance to seize more of the market."

"I think we can take advantage of the Phoenix Group's prosthetic products not yet officially launched, and take the lead in conducting a price reduction promotion in the Yanguo market, stimulating consumption in the entire market at once, and squeezing the purchasing power of the entire market as much as possible."

discount promotion? !
Ronce frowned instantly. He really didn't want to hurt his own interests by reducing the price until the end.

but……

Up to now, the price cut seems to be the best way to promote a super giant like the Phoenix Group...

Although he was extremely unhappy in his heart, after a few seconds, Ronce still looked at the speaking Germanic executive.

"Crouch, what do you mean by how much should we reduce the price?"

"25%!"

"No, no, no! 25% is too much!"

"Not much, President Ronce! You must know that the opponent we are facing now is the Phoenix Group!"

"Although we don't know the situation of Phoenix Group's prosthetics, we have to take advantage of their prosthetic products not yet officially on the market, and first cut a wave of leeks from Yanguo customers!"

"This is the only chance we have left!"

Ron fell silent for a moment!

After a long time, a furious and desperate roar sounded in the meeting room.

"Fake!"

……

The physically handicapped people in Yan Kingdom never expected happiness to come so suddenly.

Less than three days after Phoenix Group was exposed to be developing prosthetics, the world's best prosthetic brands "Ottobock" and "Ossur" successively launched preferential promotions.

Not only the discount rate of the whole series of prosthetics is more than 25%, but the discount rate of some products is as high as 40%. Such a sudden discount rate will directly confuse everyone.

But it didn't take long, many consumers and netizens suddenly realized!
Good guy!
This should mean that the Phoenix Group's prosthetic products are about to go on the market. The two companies feel the pressure to cut prices first to seize the market, right?
What the hell!

Is the reputation of the Phoenix Group already so powerful?
It is indeed an industry killer!

For a while, netizens were dumbfounded, and many disabled consumers really felt how happy it is to have a powerful domestic company.

And the other side.

The research and development of the first product of Phoenix Prosthetics Division has come to an end.

In fact, the development of prosthetics is difficult but not difficult.

Needless to say, the mechanical joints required for prosthetics.

The degree of freedom and fineness of mechanical joints may require a lot of time for other companies to test stability and debug motion proficiency.

But for the Phoenix Group, for the Phoenix Group that has the best "bionic robot" in the world...

Good guy, how many mechanical joints are there on the prosthesis?

Dozens of hundreds of mechanical joints on my "bionic robot" can easily complete combined control, what are the movable joints on a prosthetic limb...

Not to mention another core technology of prosthetics - myoelectric induction.

The core technology of myoelectric induction is to collect the muscle current at the end of the residual limb through the sensor, and then compare the current signals countless times, and finally let the chip determine what command each current represents, and then issue commands to the prosthesis.

Whether it is the sensor identifying muscle current, the chip judging and learning the command of muscle current, or the comparison of current signal collection, these items are the strengths of the Phoenix Group!
The only thing that is a little bit difficult is the ergonomic design of the entire prosthesis...

but.

Even for this design scheme, with the support of the high computing power of Phoenix Group's supercomputer, it has simulated countless times of human body wearing through algorithms. It can be said that the scheme has been continuously optimized since it was designed...

at last.

After more than three months of research and development and the cooperation of volunteers, Li, the leader of the prosthetic project team, finally reported to Hu Lai that the latest prosthetics were successfully developed, and the first batch of finalized test models had been produced!
Hu Lai and Director Zhang couldn't wait to come to the project team, only to see several prosthetic limbs with different sizes but fine workmanship and almost the same style appeared in front of them.

Hu Lai just glanced at it, and immediately felt the strong sense of technology and delicacy on the prosthesis.

It was also the first time that the employees of the project team saw the mass-produced test arm with their own eyes, and they couldn't help being amazed.

"Oh my god, isn't the material used for this skin too realistic? This looks no different from a real arm..."

"I'll go. I didn't feel much when I saw the model before. I didn't expect the texture of the real thing to be so delicate. It's really hard to tell if it's a real arm from a distance."

Amidst the compliments from colleagues, Lao Liu, the head of the project team, gradually smiled, and was obviously very satisfied with the finished product.

He looked at Hu Laihui and reported:

"Mr. Hu, the prosthesis we developed this time is based on your arrangement, and we have developed the most advanced 'myoelectric' prosthesis currently on the market."

"We have been able to achieve some functional requirements after installation and wearing, whether it is the prosthesis of the upper limb arm or the prosthesis of the lower limb thigh and calf."

"For example, our arm is equipped with the miniaturized motor used on our 'bionic robot' and the 'semi-solid lithium battery', which can already realize simple grasping functions, five fingers separated and close together, and even pick up some not too heavy objects. .”

"Such a functional type is much more meaningful than a purely decorative prosthetic."

"Our lower limb prosthetics fully realize normal gait walking, can go up and down stairs and even trot for short distances."

While talking, Hu Lai saw two disabled volunteers put on their arm and thigh prostheses, and then began to make corresponding movements.
Hu Lai was even more shocked by the test scene he saw with his own eyes. Seeing the perfect function of the prosthetics worn by the volunteers, Hu Lai was very satisfied and nodded frequently.

At this moment, Lao Liu of the project team continued:

"Mr. Hu, now our main research direction is 'myoelectricity'."

"However, in the future, if the prosthesis continues to achieve more, more flexible, and more human-like physical activities, it may be necessary to adopt more advanced neuron acquisition methods."

"Many research institutions are already developing research on 'brain-computer interface' and 'scalp brain nerve cells', especially the research on the cerebral cortex, which may be the way to completely replace the torso with prosthetics in the future."

"Our next direction will also be based on the 'brain-computer interface' research of the cerebral cortex."

Hu Lai was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Old Liu's words reminded him of a movie he watched a long time ago - "Steel Alchemist".

If the "brain-computer interface" can be realized in the future, it may be possible to completely replace the real torso with prosthetic limbs.

But...it's too early to tell.

Hu Lai did not continue this topic, he was already very satisfied with the prosthesis in front of him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lao Liu. Since the test is fine, let's push it to the market."

"However, let's not set the price of the prosthesis too high this time. After all, this is a product that only the disabled can use."

Lao Liu nodded, naturally understanding what Hu Lai was thinking.

……

three days later.

While many disabled consumers were still considering whether to buy prosthetics from big brands such as Ottobock, the Phoenix Group officially began to publicly sell the "myoelectric" prosthetics developed by Phoenix.

At the beginning, netizens reacted very flatly. After all, special products such as prosthetics are still too far away from ordinary netizens.

but……

After two or three hours of fermentation, more and more disabled people began to thank the Phoenix Group on the Internet, and began to exclaim that the Phoenix Group is awesome.

Many athletes who have won the Paralympic Games have even publicly thanked the Phoenix Group for its contribution to the disabled under their official accounts!
At this time, many netizens realized that they couldn't help being curious, what did the Phoenix Group do? !

And when netizens learned about the "myoelectric" prosthesis launched by Phoenix Group, especially after learning about the price, many netizens were moved.

"Good guy, the prosthesis originally cost [-] to [-] yuan, but the Phoenix Group directly made it to only [-] to [-] yuan?"

"Fuck, this is too cruel, and children in the growing period only need to pay 2 yuan at a time. If the prosthetic limbs don't fit properly on the way to growth, can they be replaced for free until they are 20 years old?!"

"My God, is this really conscientious?! Seriously, it has to be our own business!"

"Hey! I used to think that the Phoenix Group's entry into the prosthetics market was not doing business properly, but now it seems that the Phoenix Group really didn't think about making money at this price... This is a company with warmth..."

"Phoenix is ​​amazing, I'm really convinced! Isn't this better than a few technology companies who are staring at the vegetable farmers all day long? Isn't this better than a game company that only knows how to develop games?!"

"There are too few companies in Yanguo that truly change everyone's lives!"

"I have to say that companies like the Phoenix Group are the companies we really need, and this is the real light of technology!"

"Don't say anything, just like it, the light of technology, the light of human beings!"
