Chapter 231 From a Powerful Family's Cannon Fodder to a Scientific Research Giant (28)
On the LED screen, a first-person perspective of sea spiders eliminating insects was playing; this scene was also part of the live broadcast at the time.
Everyone in the audience watched intently, and Yu Keke asked Xu Mu in a low voice.
"Is this really not a manipulated video? This is too outrageous."
"Of course not, this is a first-person perspective. This robot is really good. When the auction starts, remember to raise your paddle for me. No matter how expensive it is, you must buy one."
Yu Keke pouted and yawned impatiently.
"Ugh, if I'd known it would be such a boring meeting, I wouldn't have come. Saving the world has nothing to do with me. I'm just a lazy bum who only wants to lie around all day."
"Shh, quiet down, Teacher Rabbit is about to speak."
Jin Shu adjusted the microphone in front of her, and the specially invited reporters immediately began asking questions.
"Teacher Rabbit, I have a question about the pricing of the sea spider robot. I heard that the current price of a sea spider robot is 500,000 yuan, and the target customer group for this robot should be the vast number of farmers in China. Is a price of 500,000 yuan too expensive for these individual farmers?"
The audience whispered among themselves, and Yu Keke exclaimed in a low voice.
"That thing costs 500,000 per bullet? My god, it's just a flying laser gun. Could it even cost 10,000 to make? How many farmers could afford that?"
Just then, Jin Shu spoke up.
"Sea Spider is still in the research and development improvement stage, and it will take about a month before it can be put into mass production."
Our factory's current production capacity is low. The reason for this pricing is twofold: first, to recover costs as quickly as possible, and second, to benefit the businessmen below us.
No matter what price I set, this sea spider will eventually be driven up to an exorbitant price, making it unaffordable for farmers. In that case, I might as well set the highest possible price, which would limit the sea spider trade to the wealthy.
Ultimately, I want my company to make a profit.
As for the subsequent increase in factory production, I promise to provide farmers with sea spiders at a low price. You don't need to worry about that; once it's produced, it will definitely be used to its full potential.
Upon hearing this, the people below all looked around at each other.
Jin Shu is right. When the sea spider was first launched, it was bound to be hyped up to an astronomical price no matter what. Since that's the case, why not just set a high price to raise the entry barrier and in the end only make money from the rich, and never from the poor?
"Teacher Rabbit, I heard that the Rain Grenade and the Sea Spider were designed by you alone. I would like to ask if no one else was involved in the design and development process?"
"No, I'm used to working alone and not used to teamwork. Maybe I can consider teamwork in the future."
The answer was watertight and thorough.
The reporter then asked several more questions in succession, and finally, seeing that time was running out, the reporter quickly asked more questions.
"Will there be a chance to see the improved versions of the Rain Grenade and Sea Spider that you brought to this seminar?"
"Yes, they will be exhibited one after another. If any interested business owners are willing to join the bidding."
"What inventions will Teacher Rabbit bring us next? This is a question that not only we are curious about, but also the most curious netizens. I wonder if it is convenient for Teacher Rabbit to answer this question?"
Jin Shu smiled and said frankly.
"Yes, I am currently researching a gene-based health product that can extend the production cycle of agricultural products."
