One month later, the cutting-edge technology laboratory simultaneously launched this year's new product - Guardian Angel body armor in New York, the largest city on the east coast, and Los Angeles, the largest city on the west coast.

This is not the first time that the outside world has come into contact with the laboratory's defense products. The bulletproof equipment produced by the previous S.T.A.R. had an extremely eye-catching performance as early as in the Green Goblin incident.

It turns out that officers equipped with the older product suffered only minor injuries to themselves from .308-inch automatic rifle bullets, something only the best Class IV body armor had ever done. You know, 1472 joules of kinetic energy can penetrate a four-inch thick concrete wall, and the kinetic energy of an automatic rifle is usually close to 2,000 joules. Originally, it is an extremely remarkable creation to be able to resist such a powerful impact. What is still rare is its weight. It is also very light, soft and elastic in shape, and strong enough in plasticity.

Once the above advantages were announced, they immediately became the focus of attention from the outside world. Unfortunately, due to the bottleneck of production capacity, the products in the laboratory are always sold at low prices. All have high hopes for it.

A few days before the official launch, Pepper, the new head of the laboratory, has already made a plan to buy important pages of several North American newspapers and publish a large number of advertisements on them. At the same time, test reports and soft articles from various parties have also occupied network and public media.

At first, it was only brewed in a few major cities, and soon a powerful publicity campaign was based on this, and spread to 14 major North American cities, and the advertising words that Pepper asked the marketing department to design carefully can be seen almost everywhere.

"Kids trust their parents to keep them safe, don't let them down on you.

"Get rid of fear - the guardian is by your side."

"The jacket keeps you warm, and the body armor keeps you safe. In public places, don't let yourself be 'naked+naked'."

Through the persuasion of municipal departments in various places, a sentence of advertisements with a hidden promotional color was poured out as public welfare propaganda. Many young children were attracted by them and took the initiative to imitate the image of children in the advertisements.

This is Pepper's business skills. She uses women's delicacy to find an excellent breakthrough, instead of just relying on throwing money in newspapers to compete viciously with her peers. Through her patient public relations, she even won the favor of the American Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). Before the product went on the market, Pepper first contacted the important people of the association, invited them to the new laboratory site in Westchester, and demonstrated the superiority and comfort of children's body armor to them on the spot. full support of the Association.

Compared with the old-fashioned body armor, the main material of Guardian Angel is all made of super cobweb fabric. The toughness of this cobweb is ten times that of Kevlar fabric, and its super elongation ability makes it need to absorb more when it breaks. Energy, so that the projectile can be decelerated more effectively, which has an excellent damping effect, and the weight is also extremely light, which is hardly a burden for children.

If every child can get its protection, the casualties caused by the frequent school shootings will be reduced a lot.

At the invitation of Pepper, the senior management of the association came here to visit for a whole day. Not only did they see the superb technology of the laboratory, but at the same time, everyone hid an anonymous membership card that is not for sale, as long as they stand in a neutral position Express your opinion on the website, and you can use this card to receive preferential services from the laboratory in the future.

This is not considered bribery, but it is more meaningful than getting dozens of green Franklin. Living in this land, any far-sighted person will not let go of three kinds of friends: lawyers, financial advisors and doctors. The first two keep you out of trouble and financial freedom, but the latter means you can save your own life at critical moments. After several accidents and news reports that patients were admitted for free, now no one doubts the medical ability of the laboratory, and every visiting guest is willing to provide an extra layer of health protection for themselves and their families.

Therefore, through these powerful wooing, the senior leaders of the Parent-Teacher Association expressed their opinions to the outside world one after another. Everyone sent praises that they could imagine, and cooperated with the wooed media to promote the new products of Cheng Lab to readers.

And Pepper's promotion strategy is not over here. When the media was the hottest + hottest, she proposed to the PTA and the police that she would like to give back to the parents who care about their children and the police officers who are fighting on the front line of crime. As long as the buyer holds a postcard with the PTA logo, or is a member of the police force, the laboratory is willing to reduce the retail price by one-third of the original basis, and allows installment purchases.

Once this profit sharing strategy is adopted, it is equivalent to getting the association and the police to endorse the new product. Both high-level executives have seen this, but out of consideration for expanding their own influence, they still happily accepted Pepper’s suggestion.

So it didn't take long for Guardian Angel's sales to go all the way, rushing to the top of the US armor market, and continuously expanding its sales overseas.

Faced with such excellent results, how could Ross be stingy with his praise.

"It's all thanks to you, Pepper, I knew you could do it, and you even exceeded my expectations.

He was in Los Angeles at the time of the call, and delivered the effusive compliment straight away on the phone.

"The main reason is that the product quality is really good, otherwise PTA friends would not make false recommendations for members." Through invisible radio waves, Pepper pursed his lips and smiled.

"What to do next, if you need to lower the price, you can decide on your own, without my authorization. I have already explained this to the doctor. You have all the power in terms of operation, and everyone revolves around you."

"Thank you, I'm not the sun, you are our Fixed Star." Pepper was amused by him and laughed, and the two chatted for a few more words before she talked about her thoughts.

"There is no need to lower the price again. We have raised the original price by one thousand dollars before, and now it is exactly the same as the original price after a third reduction. We cannot let customers leave the impression that the laboratory provides cheap goods. We To become a leader in the industry, we must gain enough respect from consumers. If our price is too low, it will only affect the confidence of the outside world in us. So at this stage, the retail price of 2,000 US dollars is already the minimum limit. I would rather leave the market in a state of undersaturation than develop bad spending habits."

"It's up to you to decide. Now I'm going to raise my evaluation of you again. Don't hurt my self-confidence."

Ross exaggeratedly admired, and Pepper on the opposite side couldn't help being amused by him.

If Pepper was still dubious about her Ability before, then after this good start, her confidence must have been greatly enhanced.

"So, a good start is half the battle."

After hanging up the phone, Ross casually said to the man in front of him.

"Am I right, Dr. Jefferson?"

The other party was sweating.

Aspen Jefferson is a doctor at the Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He specializes in the treatment of blood diseases in the largest hospital on the west coast. Since his medical skills are not very well-known, his salary is not very high. To him It's not a happy thing, but because of some kind of payment relationship with some pharmaceutical companies, the number of dollars he gets every year is not very low.

A year ago, Jefferson and his wife divorced, and then lived alone with their five-year-old daughter. He was usually in a good state of mind, until an incident happened not long ago that made him a little uneasy

Feeling anxious, Jefferson carefully spent two or three days, only to find that no one was paying attention to him, and then he regained his former calm. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned home that day, he found that he was in the living room of his home. Sitting a strange young man.

"Hello, Dr. Jefferson."

That person was Ross. He was sitting alone on the sofa and greeted his master. Before Jefferson could respond, Burning Man John came out from behind the doctor and gently closed the door for him.

"Who are you?" Jefferson asked in a low voice, trying to calm himself down.

"It's not important, you should know why I'm here, tell me about the Mutant boy, and then we'll talk about you." Ross replied lightly

Jefferson's heart sank. He accidentally discovered the boy's secret during a routine blood test in the hospital. Out of curiosity, the doctor tried to compare it with the blood of several other Mutants he had collected, and accidentally discovered that 620 The boy, named Jimmy, has the gene to eliminate the abilities of other Mutants.

This discovery made him both surprised and delighted. Although he couldn't find a use for it, he was sensitive|sensitively aware that Jimmy could bring him benefits. So when the pharmaceutical giant Watsonton privately reported that he was collecting information about Mutant, he didn't have a hesitation and immediately sold Jimmy's existence to the other party. At the moment, Watsonton Pharmaceuticals headquarters should have already made a move.

It's not that he can't guess Jimmy's end, it's just that his selfish nature makes him only care about his own interests.

Jefferson explained in a low voice, sneaking a glance at his daughter's bedroom, where it was dark and silent, his heart rose slowly.

After listening to the explanation, Ross pondered for a while, and did not pursue further.

"Your daughter is very cute." He raised his legs and naturally leaned back on the back of the sofa, as if he was the owner of the house.

"I chatted with the little girl for a while. She is a very smart and beautiful child. I like her very much. I heard that her name is Jennifer. Is it the same name as her mother?"

"No!" Hearing his daughter's name, Jefferson took two steps forward suddenly, and then hurriedly backed away from the sudden fire in John's hand.

"I shouldn't have betrayed Jimmy, but don't bring Jennifer in, she's innocent, please!"

The doctor begged excitedly. Due to excessive tension, several blood vessels even bulged in his forehead.

Seeing the pressure work, Ross smiled slightly.

"Relax, Dr. Jefferson, do we look like monsters who devour children? Please sit down and let's talk." Ross said casually, slowly sitting up straight.

"Now, tell me everything you know, and don't hold back anything."

He ordered in a condescending tone, but the doctor who was twice his age did not dare to be dissatisfied.

Soon, Ross knew what he wanted to know.

"Watsonton Pharmaceutical...", he silently read the name of the main competitor, a cruel light flashed in his eyes. .
