When 'Parker Industries' becomes the new champion, Peter and the others have to face challenges from various contestants, but so what?
Even if the organizing committee changes the rules overnight, so what?
At best, it just adds a negligible level of game difficulty to 'Parker Industries'.
Peter patted Otto's shoulder with one hand and said: "The task of winning this game is left to you. The thirty thousand dollars is second, and the main thing is to publicize the name of Parker Industries."
After leaving Dr. Otto to guard the ring, he and Professor Connors had to go back to work at the booth.
Peter has just heard someone discussing information about Parker Industries, and he believes that interested people will soon come to consult and seek cooperation.
As for this robot fighting competition, Peter believes that Otto can definitely win, otherwise he cannot become an opponent that gives Spider-Man a headache.
Otto is Doctor Octopus, how could he lose in a place like this?
Sure enough, when Peter and the others returned to Parker Industries' booth, there were already many admiring friends looking at the products on the table.
A gentle man in a suit asked: "Are you the ones who just defeated the destructive Parker Industries in the ring?"
After getting Peter's affirmative answer, he adjusted his flat glasses and said: "My boss is very enthusiastic about robot fighting competitions. He is very optimistic about your technical level and thinks you will be able to make it to the end."
Peter said calmly: "Who is your boss?"
"Ludo Jacob."
The name sounded familiar, and Peter recalled seeing his photo and introduction on the photo wall of outstanding graduates of the State University of New York Business School.
Jacob graduated early and became a well-known and successful businessman in the industry more than ten years ago. He owns more than 20% of the shares of more than a dozen listed companies and has a keen sense of smell comparable to that of a hunter in the investment field.
Therefore, his deeds are often used as teaching materials by teachers, inspiring a group of people to follow his path.
Peter smiled and said: "He probably doesn't know me, but I know him quite well. He graduated from the State University of New York and his first job was working in a financial company on Wall Street. When he was down and out, he worked as a sailor at sea, and later re-entered the industry. In the investment community, fresh tuna is often used as a metaphor for good opportunities.”
"There is a saying that is often said that the taste of tuna can only be tasted on a bumpy boat."
The man with glasses twitched his lips and said in approval: "This is indeed what the boss often says. Now that you are familiar with him, my work will be much easier."
Then the man with glasses explained to Peter Mr. Jacob's intention to enter the technology field and was selecting trustworthy partners. Parker Industries, which had shined in the robot fighting competition, obviously aroused his interest and hoped to promote cooperation. relation.
After just a brief conversation, the man with glasses who is highly professional in the business field immediately understood the needs of Parker Industries.
Peter said: "Yes, what we need is sales channels. If Parker Industries can borrow Mr. Jacob's contacts in the business world, I think it will be of great help."
"Of course, but we have to evaluate the commercial value of Parker Industrial's products first." Then the man with glasses said on behalf of Mr. Jacob behind him: "I can come to carry out this work. Mr. Jacob has authorized me to handle it with full authority. ”
Therefore, Peter asked Professor Connors to introduce to him the current mainstream project products of Parker Industries. Since Mr. Jacobs sent his employees to talk, he could not lose his momentum.
In addition to the 'Spider Eye' drone invented by Peter, Parker Industries' products include a simulated prosthetic hand recently developed by Connors and Otto.
This prosthetic arm uses the same energy supply method as Otto's mechanical tentacles, and with the transplantable bionic skin designed by Connors, it looks the same as the original hand and foot after installation, and can also be controlled by nerves and move freely.
"It's a good product, but it's a pity that the cost is still too high." The man with glasses raised his chin and said.
Professor Connors explained: “This is the pricing after adding the initial development cost. After mass production, the cost will drop quickly, even to one-tenth of the original price.”
In terms of business thinking, any product that is too advanced will not be too cheap. The cost of technology is still an unavoidable problem, but as time goes by, the cost will drop to a level that is acceptable to ordinary people.
For example, a DVD player was a rare item only found in the homes of wealthy people in the 1980s and 1990s, but now you can use it to swat flies without worrying about it.
When the man with glasses was still hesitating, he received a phone call.
I only heard him humming into the microphone a few times before saying to Peter and the others: "Mr. Jacob is willing to buy goods worth five million US dollars for trial sales."
Obviously it was Jacob calling and he had already made his decision first.
Connors glanced at Peter, and when he saw Peter's affirmative look, he immediately understood, so he said: "Okay, this will be a pleasant cooperation."
As a result, the deal was not successfully concluded as expected, and Peter still had confidence in Parker Industries' products.
That is the crystallization of the wisdom of a group of geniuses.
The so-called high price is only for ordinary people, but Jacob knows some dignitaries, and they should still be willing to pay high prices to buy such products. For example, he knows a big shot whose daughter lost both legs in a car accident. I will buy a prosthetic limb without hesitation.
All told, Parker Industries secured its first $5 million order.
In the following days, other dealers were interested in Parker Industrial's products one after another. Peter, who had not signed an exclusive agency contract, also reached a contract with them worth about one million US dollars.
When Connors held the check excitedly, Peter asked him to calm down, then took the check from his hand, carefully checked that the numbers on it were correct, and then carefully put it into his personal pocket.
Professor Otto on the other side also kept winning in the ring, but the price was that every time he won, the organizing committee had to add another rule.
"The use of electromagnetic force field attacks is prohibited."
"Optical cloaking prohibited."
"The use of technology that cannot be discerned by the referee is prohibited."
He was driving the referee crazy, using some black technology to KO his opponents every time.
For the sake of watching the game, Otto would even let off some steam. Unfortunately, his acting skills were so poor that even his opponents could see it.
When the science and technology exhibition ended, the three Peters drove away in a luxury car, carrying $30,000 in cash, several checks, and contracts in their arms from the main entrance of the venue, the most eye-catching place.
This time, Parker Industries won.
