Eagle Country, California, Fruit Headquarters.

In the iconic flying saucer-shaped building, CEO Cook is working at his desk in the office.

Suddenly, Kevin, the head of the wearable department, walked in.

Cook raised his head and looked at his general: "Dear Kevin, you said you have something urgent to report? What kind of thing can make you in such a hurry?"

Kevin was smiling, and there was a sense of surprise in the fine crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

"Dear Cook, I just got news. Several of our friends in China have received a new ECG sensor. According to insiders and suppliers, it has professional-level ECG detection. The function is very powerful and I am very interested in it.”

Cook frowned: "How powerful is it? Is the news true? Which supplier's product is it?"

Kevin handed over an iPad: "Look, this is their test report. If it is really as powerful as the report says, all our friends have it, and we must keep up, otherwise we will not be able to continue to maintain our leading position in the market." .”

The executives of technology giants are not stupid. When a new technology comes out, they will not miss it. They will definitely measure it carefully and try their best to explore its commercial value.

Cook browsed the report with a calm expression. It was not until he reached the end and saw the name of Sanqing Group that he said with horror and emotion.

"Sanqing Group, is that Sanqing Pharmaceutical?"

Kevin nodded: "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't believe this report easily."

Cook couldn't keep calm now: "Since it is a new technology of Sanqing Group, it is quite credible. Fruit's iWatch has already made efforts in the health field, but the heart rate detection function is not highly rated. If this is adopted, technology……."

He didn't say the next words, but the sparkle in his eyes clearly expressed what he meant.

The field of smart wearables is still in the stage of competition among the best. Many small manufacturers are still very much alive in the cracks of industry giants. They are as strong as fruits and can only open a certain gap in terms of experience. There is not much difference in terms of functionality. Overall Generally speaking, the pressure is still relatively high.

Cook quickly came to a conclusion: "You made a special trip to China to discuss the matter with Sanqing in person. I am very optimistic about this technology."

He showed a winning smile: "With our strength and leading position, the day when we can monopolize the smart watch market is just around the corner."

As an industry giant with a market share of 30%, he has the confidence to say this.

Three days later, Kevin came out of Haishi International Airport and headed straight to Kunming City with the branch executives who received him.

At this time, Lu Tingfeng was already eagerly waiting for the arrival of the group. When he received the fruit call, he was still a bit surprised and surprised.

Has Sanqing's ECG detection module attracted the attention of the world's number one technology giant before it was even launched on the market?

Such a large company, far overseas, is still so sensitive to new technologies.

If he remembered correctly, the market value of fruit has exceeded 2 trillion US dollars and is heading towards 3 trillion US dollars.

He used to be a fruit fan and used a fruit phone. It was only after the rise of Juwei in the past two years that he switched to a domestic phone.

But there are still a lot of fruit equipment at home, so I feel good about it.

"If we can become a fruit supplier, the ECG detection module can directly occupy 30% of the market share. This is a big order!"

Lu Tingfeng's heart skipped a beat when he thought about it. He must win over this big customer.

Not long after, Kevin and others arrived as scheduled, and the two parties came to the conference room. After chatting for a while, they immediately got down to business.

"They seemed to be more eager than me and showed a strong interest. It looked very interesting."

Lu Tingfeng murmured to himself, refreshed himself, and began to introduce it eloquently.

At the same time, we also began to distribute samples of bracelets to guests for them to experience on their own.

Kevin listened carefully and took notes from time to time, not missing any details.

The more he listened, the more excited he became. This technology was really great and could perfectly realize some of his ideas for health testing.

As the person in charge of wearable devices, he has some brilliant ideas in this regard, but due to technical limitations, he has been unable to realize them, let alone apply them to his own devices and then bring them to the market.

But with this ECG detection module from Sanqing, his idea may be realized.

This undoubtedly excited him so much that he couldn't help but tremble all over.

The intense excitement reached its peak after he tried out the bracelet sample.

"It's great, just trying it out, I have several ideas in my mind."

He was amazed while operating the bracelet.

"I feel that in terms of software, the full potential of the detection module has not been fully explored. The functions are too simple, the experience is not perfect enough, and the casing has a strong plastic feel and is too cheap."

Kevin frowned. As a fruit executive, he has a perfectionist's critical eye on everything. Except for his own products, he can find a lot of faults in anything he holds in his hands.

Sanqing's bracelet is originally the simplest version. It mainly allows people to experience the ECG monitoring function. At most, it also has GPS positioning and Bluetooth functions.

As for other smart functions, such as 50-meter waterproof, smart payment, offline music playback, NFC chip, multiple sports modes, magnetic charging, eSIM card, dynamic dial, and third-party applications, these high-end functions are not available.

It doesn’t even have the function of raising the wrist to turn on the screen.

Kevin couldn't help but secretly complain, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Apart from its excellent ECG monitoring function, this bracelet is useless in other aspects. It is simply garbage.

If Lu Tingfeng knew what he was thinking, he would definitely be extremely aggrieved. How can this 100-dollar sports bracelet compare with Guo Tingfeng's smart watch? It is just a sample. It can run smoothly and is strong and durable. It is already very good, at least. Worth the price.

Kevin put on the bracelet and after playing with it for a while, he felt it was boring.

Like Juwei, Guoguo's smartwatches are also high-end, so he is dismissive of this bracelet in his heart. It feels like a cabbage being eaten by a pig or a flower stuck in cow dung. At the same time, he feels more anxious. .

He couldn't wait to apply this new monitoring module to his flawless products as soon as possible.

Lu Tingfeng noticed this keenly and found that the person in charge of the fruit seemed to have little interest in the samples and was not as interested as other manufacturers. He couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.

"Is it possible that they are not very optimistic about this technology? Is this deal about to go south?"

He thought a little uneasily, but saw Kevin opposite him smiling and applauding, and then stretched out his hand.

"Amazing technology. I am very interested in the ECG monitoring module. I hope to reach a cooperation. I wish us a happy cooperation."

ah? That's it.

Lu Tingfeng reacted quickly and clenched the opponent's hands excitedly.

"That's great. I'm very optimistic about the cooperation with Fruit and I'm looking forward to the launch of the next generation iWatch."

Kevin smiled reservedly and put forward specific cooperation requirements.

"We noticed that the ECG detection module also comes with a bundled software, but we only want the hardware."

"In terms of software, Guoguo's ability is universally recognized and is one of the best in the world. You will understand even if I don't tell you. Moreover, we have our own health software. For the analysis and diagnosis of ECG data, we have our own ideas and believe in our own capabilities."

"So as long as you provide the hardware and data interface, leave the rest to the fruit, we can handle it ourselves."

"Just hardware? No accompanying software?"

Lu Tingfeng couldn't help being surprised. This was the first time he saw a manufacturer making such a request, but when he thought it was fruit, he felt relieved.

Technology companies that can develop their own chips and operating systems will naturally be confident in developing cardiac diagnostic technology.

"Yes, Sanqing respects customers' choices. As long as the price is right, there's nothing we can't negotiate."

He showed his white teeth and said with a smile.

The cooperation between Sanqing Group and mobile phone manufacturers is quite smooth.

With engineers working hard day and night, Juwei's first batch of smart watch samples were released.

Cai Peng was overjoyed and immediately put it on his hand. At the same time, he sent a sample to Yu Dongye so that the leader could experience this novelty.

Looking at the GT4 smart watch Supreme Edition on his wrist, Cai Peng was quite satisfied and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up.

The appearance is a traditional round dial, made of black ceramic material and curved glass mirror, which is full of business style and noble. The screen is equipped with a 1.43-inch AMOLED color screen with a resolution of 331ppi. The interface is clear, the curves are beautiful, and the feel and texture are excellent.

It is 50 meters waterproof and supports 150+ sports modes. It is available for swimming, running, cycling and other regular sports. The exercise time and trajectory tracking are very accurate. It also has a professional sports assistance algorithm, paired with a 5-star positioning system, and outdoor sports tracking GPS positioning. Fast and accurate, its functions are comparable to professional sports watches.

Equipped with its own Hongmeng system, it supports third-party application downloads. The dial is colorful, eye-catching, and highly intelligent. It has everything you need, including Alipay scan code payment, supports Bluetooth independent communication, and the built-in NFC chip can also be used to simulate access control. Cards and bus and subway cards make travel convenient and fast.

Wireless charging mode, battery life is 10 days.

The health detection function is the king. It supports 24-hour continuous ECG detection, blood pressure detection, and blood oxygen monitoring. It provides disease diagnosis and can screen potential patients such as hypertension and coronary heart disease with extremely high accuracy. It also monitors other respiratory rates and body temperature. , sleep monitoring and other routine items are also readily available.

The three aspects of appearance, texture, and rich functions are directly fulfilled, and it simply beats other brands on the market.

Although the compatibility is a bit poor and the price exceeds 3,000 yuan, the price/performance ratio is average.

But for users who pursue functional experience, as well as rich users who only want the best, it will definitely win their favor.

There is also a white ceramic model with a beautiful and attractive appearance that will definitely be loved by female users.

Cai Peng couldn't put it down and played with the watch on his wrist, as if he had seen the product sell out and be sold out instantly as soon as it was launched.

As soon as he got it, he tried the ECG monitoring function. Fortunately, the heart rate was normal and there was no heart disease. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, he has been stealing the show in every meeting, and the watch on his wrist has been strongly watched by his colleagues.

Thinking of everyone's envious expressions and the longing in their eyes, he suddenly felt happy.

I feel more energetic when I start working, and I don’t have to worry about working overtime no matter how late.

"Ding ding" sounded twice, and a schedule reminder popped up.

It turned out that I was going to attend an exhibition in the afternoon. The address was not far from Juwei’s headquarters, about a few subway stops away.

He hurried downstairs and entered the subway station.

At this point, there were not many people waiting for the bus, so he waited quietly on the platform.

Suddenly, a shout was heard in the distance: "Someone has fainted!"

This shout immediately caused a commotion, and everyone looked into the distance.

It turned out that someone nearby had fainted and was lying unconscious on the platform. At this moment, there were many people around him.

Some people ran to watch, while others walked away quickly.

Cai Peng couldn't help but walk towards the crowded place.

Soon, he saw a girl in her twenties lying on the ground, motionless, with a somewhat painful look on her face.

"What to do? Did you call an ambulance?"

"120 has been called."

Everyone was talking about it. Cai Peng looked around and saw many people talking on the phone and even more people watching.

There were no medical personnel at the scene, so everyone was a little at a loss.

A middle-aged woman seemed to have some experience. She probed the fainted woman's nose, put her hand against her chest, and said, "I can feel my breathing and heartbeat. It's not life-threatening for the time being."

The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

The middle-aged woman added: "However, we cannot relax our vigilance. There are many causes of syncope. If the cause cannot be determined and treated in time, there will still be danger."

Hearing these words, everyone looked at each other in shock, and their hearts became anxious again, and they were all worried about the girl.

Looking at all this, Cai Peng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and walked up.

He took off the smart watch from his wrist, clasped it tightly on the girl's left wrist, and then pressed it a few times to start the measurement.

Although everyone was standing around worried, they were all concerned about the girl's condition.

They were all very puzzled when they saw that he put a watch on the girl.

Someone yelled and asked, "What are you doing?"

This question spoke to everyone's thoughts, and everyone stared at him.

Cai Peng explained: "I am an employee of Juwei. This is a smart watch developed by our company. It has a health detection function. The ECG detection function inside is of professional medical level. It can judge by collecting pulse change information. Whether there are certain diseases."

"So I put it on her and tried to see if I could detect what disease she had and whether she was in any danger."

Everyone was immediately shocked, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Is it so powerful?"

"Have you never heard that Juwei has such a watch?"

"It's impossible. Don't misdiagnose it then."

Everyone was talking about it, and they were all a little hesitant.

After all, they are all strangers, just meeting each other by chance, so their trust level is relatively low.

This is human nature, and Cai Peng didn't take it to heart.

However, everyone saw that he seemed to be a decent man, and after putting the watch on the girl, he didn't make any unnecessary moves, so they didn't say anything more.

After wearing the watch, it must be monitored for at least one minute, preferably three minutes, in order to obtain enough reliable data for judgment.

Therefore, you need to wait patiently at this time.

Soon, three minutes arrived, and the watch immediately began to vibrate and a line of words was displayed on it.

"The diagnosis is supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia, please seek medical attention as soon as possible."

The onlookers leaned over one after another, and when they saw the words on the watch, they immediately let out bursts of exclamation.

"I can really tell what the disease is. It seems to be some kind of supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia."

"Is it true or false? Is it reliable?"

"I guess you have to ask the doctor about this."

"The name of the disease sounds very professional, but most people don't know what it is."

"Quickly, do a search to see what kind of disease this is?"

Soon someone searched and found the results.

"Supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia is a relatively common disease in cardiology. It mainly manifests as palpitations, chest tightness, and syncope. It is often caused by emotional excitement and excessive fatigue."

"Hey, it looks pretty reliable."

"Yeah, I didn't just say it casually."

"This watch is awesome. Can it really judge your condition?"

Everyone exclaimed, never expecting that this watch was as powerful as Cai Peng said.
