The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 227 Is this also called Zenith Star Technology? [Request for full order and data]

Lin Feng got through on the phone and first talked about Collier's current charity activities.

Then he said, "Mr. Wang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"If you get your child a cochlear implant now, you can save tens of thousands of dollars."

"If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to find it again."

Wang Liang said, "I'm still waiting for the domestically made cochlear implant developed by Comrade Zhipeng. Sorry."

Lin Feng advised him: "Brother Wang, it's been almost a month. Have you heard about the cochlear implant that Zhang Zhipeng developed?"

"I guess he has forgotten about this matter a long time ago."

"Even if you wait for a hundred years, I still won't get your domestically made cochlear implant."

"Besides, our Collier is the best brand of cochlear implants."

"Even if a domestic product is developed, would you be willing to let your daughter use it?"

"Isn't that just asking to be a guinea pig?"

"Please think about it carefully. Anyway, I sincerely advise you not to take it too seriously."

"It's impossible for big shots to care about the affairs of us ordinary people."

"Please discuss it with your sister-in-law. I won't bother you any more."

After saying that, Lin Feng hung up the phone.

Wang Liang's wife was naturally listening nearby.

She said anxiously, "Wang Liang, I think we can't wait any longer."

"There's really not much time."

"The child can't afford to delay! Even after the cochlear implant surgery, he still needs a period of rehabilitation training before he can learn to speak."

Wang Liang sighed and said, "Don't worry."

"Wait a little longer. It won't take a few days."

"Comrade Zhipeng will definitely have someone call me to let me know the situation."

Wang Liang's wife shook her head sadly and said, "He is such a big man, and he has so many important things to deal with every day."

"How could anyone take such a small matter like ours seriously?"

"Do not be silly."

"If you wait any longer, you'll probably miss out on Collier's discounts."

Wang Liang fell into silence.

He sighed and said, "I'll ask our company office."

"If Comrade Zhipeng has really forgotten about the matter, then we will sign a contract with Collier."

At this moment, the phone at his home rang again.

This time it was Wang Liang's wife who answered the phone.

"Hello!"

A sweet voice came from the microphone, smiling and saying, "Are you Wang Liang's lover?"

"I'm a clerk in Comrade Zhipeng's office. Comrade Zhipeng asked me to call you."

"We have developed our own domestically produced cochlear implant."

"Now that the test is complete, all functional parameters are better than similar foreign products."

"We are currently conducting clinical trials at the First Affiliated Hospital of Northwestern Polytechnical University. If you are willing to let your daughter participate, then all costs are free. We can even provide rehabilitation training for your daughter after the operation."

The woman on the phone spoke very quickly.

Finished telling the story.

Wang Liang's wife was surprised and happy after hearing this.

She hurriedly thanked the other party and told him that her daughter was willing to participate in the clinical testing activities.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Liang's wife was overjoyed.

"Honey, it's Comrade Zhipeng calling."

"He hasn't forgotten about us."

"He has already developed a cochlear implant..."

The wife repeated it to Wang Liang.

Wang Liang was deeply moved.

There is an urge to cry.

"Look, I told you, Comrade Zhipeng is a man who always keeps his word."

"Since he said he wanted to develop a domestically made cochlear implant, then he will definitely do it!"

"The quality of the products made by Comrade Zhipeng is absolutely trustworthy!"

The couple were both overwhelmed with emotion and were extremely happy.

After the domestically produced cochlear implant is developed, it must of course be promoted.

In particular, the person leading the research and development is Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng said hello and CCTV's 7 o'clock news sent someone over to interview him.

That evening, the 7 o'clock news broadcast related news.

However, as the business manager for the China region, Guo Lan usually works in Beijing.

Guo Lan has also developed the habit of watching the 7 o'clock news every day.

After all, the news here represents the direction of the wind.

On this day, Guo Lan sat down to watch the news as usual after it started.

But she suffered a heavy blow.

Because, in the domestic science and technology news section, an explosive piece of news was broadcast: China's self-developed cochlear implant has been successfully developed!

Moreover, the parameter data in all aspects are also very excellent, better than similar foreign products!
After reading this news, Guo Lan felt terrible.

Holy shit! Isn't this too sudden?
I've never heard of the wind before...

It just came out all of a sudden?

Moreover, it is more advanced than foreign products?
This is terrible.

Guo Lan felt mixed emotions at this moment.

She knew that it was likely that Collier was about to start being crushed.

This is because every major technological breakthrough in China has a huge impact on similar products abroad.

Similar products in China often start selling at one-third or even a fraction of the price of foreign products.

Then what is the point of Collier's survival?

Collier's era of huge profits is coming to an end.

Think about it, if the other party starts selling at one-tenth of the price, what is Collier doing?
Of course, at the beginning you may be able to slander the product by using rhetoric such as low price, shoddy workmanship, low price and poor quality.

However, in today's China, with the rise of domestic products, the trend of worshipping foreign things has gradually declined.

The Chinese people's faith in foreign goods is gradually disappearing.

In particular, this Chinese-made cochlear implant was actually developed by Zhang Zhipeng himself.

Guo Lan knew that in the eyes of the Chinese people, Zhang Zhipeng had already become a god-like existence.

Guo Lan felt very panicked, and she immediately called the president at the headquarters to report the matter.

After hearing this, the president was also panicked.

He instructed Guo Lan: Immediately start finding someone to manipulate public opinion and discredit China's domestically produced cochlear implants!

We must make the Chinese people believe that cochlear implants are absolutely top-notch technology!

It is simply impossible to develop it in a short period of time.

Cochlear implants are products that affect children's health and future. The cochlear implants developed by Zhang Zhipeng use children as experimental guinea pigs, which will harm children's lives.

In short, the purpose is simple: to maintain the faith in Collier cochlear implants in China!

Patients need to be convinced that Chinese-made cochlear implants are unreliable. Patients’ families should not gamble with their children’s health.

After listening to the president's instructions, Guo Lan was overwhelmed.

What is this thing called?

Can smearing in this way really work?

But she had no choice but to accept the task.

There's nothing you can do if you don't accept it.

The next day, Guo Lan began to look for some influential media reporters to cooperate with in order to dig up the dirty laundry of China's domestically produced cochlear implants.

But what she didn't expect was that several reporters who had worked well with her before rejected her idea without hesitation when they heard it.

The reporters told her that this was very dangerous.

Because Zhang Zhipeng is so famous and has such a high prestige.

If you try to frame someone without any evidence, you will probably die a miserable death.

This has a criminal record.

Media reporters all refused.

Of course, some reporters also gave her advice, asking her to create an accident, preferably a tragic one, in which the child died, which would surely cause a sensation in the country.

After hearing this move, Guo Lan took a breath.

Play so big?

The key is that such examples are probably hard to find!

Moreover, if this were to come to light, I would probably be arrested.

Is it really worth taking such a big risk?
Guo Lan has been at Collier for a little over ten years.

She had actually earned enough money a long time ago.

Guo Lan thought, let's wait and see, if she feels something is wrong, she will resign immediately. Over the years, she has been traveling back and forth between Australia and China.

She has a profound comparison between the two countries.

After comparison, she still feels that China has a better future than Australia.

Unfortunately, she has already immigrated.

She still needs to go through visa procedures to stay in China.

After immigrating, it would be very difficult for her to return.

Because Chinese nationality is also the most difficult to obtain.

Lin Feng, the sales representative of Collier Changan area, also saw the news first.

After reading this news, Lin Feng was completely dumbfounded.

He thought to himself: It's over, it looks like I'll have to find a new job after a while.

The news about the domestically produced cochlear implant that was broadcast on the 7 o'clock news did not actually attract much attention in China.

This is because this breakthrough has little to do with ordinary people.

A healthy person is bound to be indifferent to a niche medical technology breakthrough in treating deafness.

What's more, there is even more explosive news recently.
The news is: The domestically-produced aircraft carrier equipped with electromagnetic catapult technology and electromagnetic railgun has begun sea trials.

Recently, the domestically-made aircraft carrier has been testing the catapult of a small iron car.

As long as the test is completed, the next step will probably be to conduct actual tests of aircraft ejection.

If the aircraft catapult test is finally completed, the second domestically-produced aircraft carrier can enter the actual combat test stage and form a complete combat capability.

This big news happened to coincide with the breakthrough in cochlear implants.

This great news will definitely attract the attention of the vast majority of Chinese people.

Cochlear implant breakthrough?

What the hell is that?

I don't need it, so why should I care?
Ordinary people don't feel anything about it.

However, if there is a deaf person in the family, they will definitely be ecstatic about the news.

There are millions of deaf people in China.

Among these people, a large number can restore their hearing by fitting cochlear implants.

In the past, we just couldn’t pretend.

Now, Zhang Zhipeng has personally stated that the price of domestically produced cochlear implants will be very high quality and low price, and his goal is to make cochlear implants affordable for all deaf friends!

All families with deaf people were shocked.

Of course they trust Zhang Zhipeng very much. Since the domestically produced cochlear implant was developed by Zhang Zhipeng himself, it must be good!

After this news was broadcast, the consultation phone line of the First Affiliated Hospital of Northwestern Polytechnical University, which was responsible for the clinical testing, was almost overwhelmed with calls.

Three days later, Wang Liang's daughter underwent cochlear implant surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Northwestern Polytechnical University.

The operation was performed by Professor Zhang Xian, an authority in otolaryngology.

The operation is going on in the operating room.

Wang Liang and his wife were waiting outside the operating room and were a little nervous.

They didn't know if the surgery would be successful.

I don’t know what the outcome of the surgery will be.

They were also worried about their daughter's condition in the operating room.

The operation lasted more than an hour.

After the operation, a nurse opened the door and said to Wang Liang, "The operation went smoothly and was relatively successful. However, we need to observe it for a while longer."

"Professor Zhang Xian said that your daughter's condition is relatively good and she will recover quickly in the future."

After hearing this, Wang Liang and his wife cried for joy.

They thanked him repeatedly.

Two or three days after the operation, the cochlear implant was turned on and Wang Liang's daughter heard the sounds of the outside world for the first time.

However, she couldn't understand these sounds yet.

After a week of rehabilitation training, she was finally able to hear what her parents said and could even have brief conversations.

The situation is very good.

In the words of Professor Zhang Xian: Domestic cochlear implants are much better than foreign brands, and the sound conversion is faster and more fidelity.

Wang Liang's daughter is the first child to receive a domestically produced cochlear implant. Naturally, the success or failure of her surgery concerns many people.

In response to this, a CCTV reporter conducted a special interview, showing the comparison between Wang Liang's daughter before and after the cochlear implant was installed.

After having a cochlear implant installed, the child who had never heard any sound from the outside world could actually hear sounds and communicate normally.

This is really shocking.

After this news was broadcast, it attracted more attention from people in the country.

At the same time, it also makes foreign brands of cochlear implants feel despair.

They all lowered their prices in an attempt to seize the market and squeeze out China's domestically produced cochlear implants.

The thing that multinational giants are best at is: if you don't have it, they will raise the price as much as possible to make super high profits from you. If you have it, they will try their best to lower the price and dump it to strangle you in the cradle.

After crushing their competitors, they can continue to raise prices and reap the profits.

This is their despicable and shameless routine.

However, what makes these brands despair is that at this moment, Zhang Zhipeng announced in an interview with CCTV that China's self-developed cochlear implants will be sold nationwide at a price of 2.8 yuan!
This price includes the surgery fee and two weeks of rehabilitation training after the surgery!
In other words, the package price is 2.8!
For foreign brands, the price of a cochlear implant is its own price, the price of surgery is its own price, and the price of rehabilitation training is its own price.

The total cost of this set is at least 30 yuan.

How many families, in order to ensure the health of their children, would spend all their wealth and even borrow money from relatives and friends to accept their products!
Now, Zhang Zhipeng directly reduced the price tenfold!
Patients and their families across the country are crying.

Because this is a real benefit to the people!
As Zhang Zhipeng said in an interview: Developing domestic cochlear implants is not about making money. As long as the income and expenditure are balanced and we can support a production and medical team and enable them to develop healthily, that is enough.

Zhang Zhipeng also expressed his hope that patients across the country who need cochlear implants can easily receive them without placing too much burden on their families.

This action of Zhang Zhipeng can be said to have greatly enhanced his prestige in the eyes of the people across the country.

The launch of domestically produced cochlear implants and their promotion across the country can be said to have dealt a heavy blow to all foreign cochlear implant brands.

The person who was hit the hardest was probably Collier from Australia.

Collier's was originally the best-selling product in China.

It can generate output value of one or two billion in China every year.

The profits are frighteningly high.

But now, it is no longer possible for them to reap the benefits.

Even if Collier lowered the price to less than 10, Chinese patients still abandoned them without hesitation.

Collier's office in downtown Chang'an.

Lin Feng was reporting to Guo Lan with a bitter face.

"Mr. Guo, all the ten or so patients I had on hand have run away."

“No matter how I tell them, domestically made cochlear implants are so cheap, the materials they use must be the worst, and their service life will not be too long…”

“They don’t believe me anymore.”

"Oh! If things continue like this, we won't be able to do business anymore."

Guo Lan seemed very calm.

"The production capacity of the product they just developed must not be able to keep up, right?"

"Did you hear that they have set up a factory specifically for producing cochlear implants?"

“The manufacturing of cochlear implants is quite complex and demanding, and the production volume is not very large.”

"They've pushed the price down so low, and my feeling is that they simply can't meet the needs of the national market."

"Also, this is their heyday, and their product was developed so quickly, so there must be some flaws."

"I think we don't need to rush at all. Let's wait a little longer. Maybe they will implode on their own."

"Also, according to the order from headquarters, our prices must not be lowered too much."

"Our brand reputation is there! We still have to continue to take the high-end path."

"After all, there are still a large number of middle-class people in China who still have superstition about foreign brands."

"What I mean is: Don't rush it, let time work things out."

Guo Lan spoke very calmly.

It was as if she had everything under control.

In fact, she was also very panicked inside.

But there's no point in panicking now.

I can only hold on.

What Guo Lan didn't expect was that bad news continued to come one after another.

Huaxing is investing heavily in building a cochlear implant manufacturing factory in Chang'an.

This factory will adopt an intelligent production line, and all cochlear implant components will be produced unmanned, and even the final assembly will not require humans.

The factory will be completed in two months and put into production immediately.

After the factory is completed, it is expected to have a maximum production capacity of 50 cochlear implants per month.

Huaxing also announced the production materials used in its cochlear implants, all of which are top-quality materials.

In addition, Huaxing has also announced a 10-year warranty plan. If the cochlear implant is damaged within 10 years, a new one will be replaced free of charge!

These news are spread through formal media.

Every piece of news is like a sword stabbing at foreign cochlear implant brands.

After seeing the news, Guo Lan sighed and decided not to wait and see any longer, because it was obvious that this time, Huaxing was aiming to kill these multinational brands with one blow.
