Chapter 100 Price and Cost (Recommendation)
Chen Shen returned to people's field of vision, and it was now a question and answer session.
A male reporter got the microphone. He only cared about one question: "We want to know the price of Nezha. You didn't seem to mention the relevant situation just now."
"The price of prostheses is generally not fixed. It needs to be determined according to the actual situation of the installer. Different prosthetic assembly schemes will have different prices, so an assembly center is needed. However, we can guarantee the highest assembly price of the Nezha system. It will not exceed 150,000 yuan." Chen Shen replied.
"You said one hundred fifty thousand?"
Everyone who heard this figure felt that they had heard it wrong, and the reporter who asked the question was stunned.
Before he came, he investigated, the domestic price of 150,000 yuan, if you install a full-arm electromyography prosthesis, you can only install a better one, and this amount of money can't even touch the top side.
He didn't expect that the brain-controlled prostheses that looked so advanced on the stage were only at the same price as the mid-level electromyographic prostheses...
You can't even collect R&D costs, right?
Chen Shen corrected: "It's up to 150,000, and it may be lower than 150,000."
"In fact, we do not intend to make much money in this project, but hope that our prosthetic limbs can help more people. This is also in line with the founding philosophy of Angular Technology, so that technology can create a better future."
To other people, this sentence may be just a nice empty phrase, but Chen Shen really thinks so. He cares more about the number of calling points he can get in the process than money.
Whether it was the scene or the audience in the live broadcast room of the press conference, they believed Chen Shen's remarks at this time.
Because the price is really too low!
Although this price is still a high price category for many people, it is really a price butcher-level conscience price in the prosthetic industry.
When I just saw the demonstration of the prosthesis, everyone's psychological price for it had reached 40 or even 500,000.
Who would have thought that the actual price would be more than half lower than they thought?
But Chen Shen was not satisfied with this. He continued: "In addition, we also plan to let more people in need install us in the future, through cooperation with banks, and through loans or installments. Prosthetic limbs will return to a normal life as soon as possible, and at the same time will give them more job opportunities."
Hearing this, there was prolonged applause again.
After that, Chen Shen continued to answer various questions raised by the reporters, and at the same time frankly said the question of "Nezha" in terms of weight and battery life.
However, this has not affected the impression of "Nezha" in people's minds. Its powerful functions are enough to make up for everything.
Finally, it was the turn of a foreign media reporter to ask questions. This was a white female reporter. She stood up very excited, first explained her news agency, and then asked in Chinese:
"Will your results be sold abroad? Will the price be the same as in China?"
She couldn't pronounce the pronunciation of "Ne Zha", so she changed a word.
Chen Shen recalled what she said that the news agency was a domestically friendly media, and said mildly: “Yes, Edge Technology does have foreign sales plans, but the price is due to tariffs and other issues. It is decided according to the different circumstances of each country."
"So do you think the brain-controlled prosthesis that Eddie will launch on the market will threaten you?" the reporter asked.
"The answer will be revealed later..."
Soon, Yan Dongsheng also got the opportunity to ask questions. He asked another question: "When we just came in, we saw a display of holographic projection outside. It seemed to be a projection of air medium. Is this also the result of Angular Technology? "
Chen Shen knows that someone will definitely ask this question, "This is indeed our achievement. We will continue to improve this achievement in the next time. You can look forward to it..."
After answering this question, Chen Shen walked off the stage, leaving the rest of the time for his father to go up and give a closing speech.
Until two o'clock exactly, the press conference officially ended.
The people in the venue dispersed, but that doesn't mean that this thing just passed.
In the exhibition hall, more than a dozen prostheses used for exhibits were displayed for the reporters in the venue to experience, and there was a special person next to who was responsible for clearing the recorded data with software after the experience.
Outside, Angular Technology's exhibition halls in various cities and the assembly center in Jiangcheng are also open simultaneously.
Countless people come here, not only the disabled, but many ordinary people are also very curious about this technology.
Not to mention that there are technical explanations of holographic images at the scene, full of science fiction.
It didn't take long for these exhibition halls to be crowded with people. They weren't like exhibition halls for prosthetics at all. Those who didn't know thought they were selling the latest fruit machines.
After Chen Shen left the press conference, he went to the assembly center with his parents, Ma Zhen and others.
Like the exhibition hall, the assembly center also uses a large number of holographic projectors for display. With the spacious space, the effect of science fiction in the future is stronger than that of the exhibition hall.
It's just that this effect is destroyed by the crowded people, the original science fiction space looks more like a vegetable market...
The five-story assembly center, the first to third floors for reception are completely packed with people.
These are people who have a need for prostheses. They couldn't wait to watch the press conference and came over to guard the door.
The assemblers recruited before, faced with these people, simply couldn't entertain them.
Ma Zhen and other members of the research team, looking at the crowded assembly center, looking at the physically disabled people looking at the prosthetic limbs they designed, with hope and joy in their eyes, they felt a sense of fulfillment in their hearts. .
In the conference room, Chen Shen learned about the next development plan of Angular Technology.
"Our current profit for each prosthetic installation is deducted from the research and development costs, and it is estimated that it can be maintained at about 6,000 to 10,000. If the situation is good, I plan to continue to expand the research team of prosthetics and develop other prosthetics." Father Chen took out. I have already calculated a good plan.
"At the same time, we can also cooperate and authorize assembly centers around the world to supply them and let them install our prostheses for patients. We are not responsible for the future problems of the supply. I have already found a friend for preliminary communication of intentions. ."
"This is no problem."
Chen Shen nodded his head again and again. He never knew how many friends his father had in what industry.
In fact, after the Nezha generation removed the brain control device, the cost of the remaining prosthetic limbs itself did not go as high. They are all parts that can be mass-produced, and the cost of motors and the like is higher, but the most expensive is 10,000 to 20,000. It was capped.
If the scale of production is expanded later, the cost will continue to fall.
Coupled with the cost of labor, transportation, warranty and maintenance, the cost of the most complex full-arm prosthesis is about 80,000 yuan.
Thanks to the advantage of this extremely low R&D cost, the profit of prosthetic limbs can still be maintained at a considerable level.
"What are your plans for that holographic projector?" Father Chen asked suddenly.
Chen Shen thought for a while, and decided not to get involved in the holographic projection industry now: "Wait for the company to gain a foothold in the field of prosthetics and orthotics, and then consider the holographic projection. The patent is in hand, and there is no hurry at this time."
