"As long as the Coast exists for a day, no, as long as I exist for a day, no matter how it's reorganized or the ownership changes, I promise, this aspect will not change."
He paused for a moment, looked at Yan Jian who stepped forward awkwardly, smiled slightly, and handed over the cue card: "As for the price announcement of the official version, I would like to invite the most important member and engineer of the Coastal Automobile Factory, and its original tester, my friend Yan Jian, to announce it."
In silence, only the subtle sound of the electric motor could be heard. Supported by assistive prosthetics, Yan Jian stumbled a step forward.
Feeling the gaze of the cameras and everyone present, for a moment, he found himself nervous with his lips trembling, holding the cue card, he sighed in self-deprecation after a long silence.
"Seven thousand three hundred."
He straightforwardly announced, "This is the original price we set. After all, batteries aren't cheap, and the processing difficulty is indeed high. If you want reasons, there are more, but those are not important.
As a person who once moved freely, ending up relying only on a wheelchair, unable to eat or go to the toilet independently, I truly felt the inconvenience of physical limitations and its restrictions.
As everyone can see, it's not as great as you imagined, nor is it perfect. There are a lot of issues and troubles that need to be overcome. But I believe all problems can be gradually solved with technology in the future.
The only thing we can't solve is that its users may not be as lucky as me to have the possibility of recovery, and they might find it difficult ever to walk like able-bodied people...
So I think, regarding pricing, I've reached an agreement with its designer and creator, Ji Jue.
It can be cheaper, even cheaper, the cheaper the better!"
Yan Jian took a deep breath, restraining the spasm and excitement in his chest, striving to maintain a steady tone: "Therefore, before going on stage, based on the results of our last discussions: we decided to truly continue it as a charity movement.
Thanks to the social capital group for providing components at cost, and thanks to Chongguang Church for the special charity funds donated for this.
Lastly, thanks to Mr. Ji Jue for giving me the honor to announce this decision——"
Thus, Yan Jian raised his hand, tore off the last page from the cue card, and displayed it in front of the cameras and all witnesses:
"——Its final decided price is five thousand one hundred dollars!"
Amongst many astonished and shocked eyes, Yan Jian's face flushed, he spoke incoherently: "Thank you everyone, thank you for your support, I hope it can quickly meet all the friends who need it.
Also, I hope that in the future, Coastal Automobile can always be by everyone's side...
Thank you, thank you all, thank you, thank you!"
By the end, he could no longer restrain his excitement and choking voice.
Perhaps it was the pain brought by fractures, perhaps it was the years of gloomy waiting and accumulated torment, or maybe, it was the day when everything could finally start anew, creating more value...
So many reasons to shed tears.
So much so that, at this moment, amidst applause and cheers, he was sobbing uncontrollably.
He bowed his head, clumsily raised his hand, wiped away his tears, and tried to leave.
But before he could turn around, he was already pulled by someone beside him.
"Stand firm, Yan Gong, it's not time for you to exit yet."
Ji Jue patted him on the shoulder, holding him back together, raised his hand once more, amidst cheers and unstoppable applause, raised his hand to wave.
Towards the venue in front, and even beyond, to a more distant world.
Just like this, full of pride and confidence, showcasing all he created.
.
At this moment, far away in Central City.
In the office of the Federation Security Bureau chief, the TV screen displayed such a smiling face.
The mist rising from the tea blurred Lv Yingyue's face.
On the sofa, an elderly man with white hair but still strong built quietly watched the scene on the screen, after a long time, he sighed lightly, commenting: "Young and ambitious, truly a talented youth."
He paused for a moment, looking at Lv Yingyue sitting opposite him:
"In Yan Gong's words, it might be referred to as fine talent and beautiful jade?"
