"Dr. Benjamin II, I have a matter here that I need to talk to you about!" Kang Jingming said bluntly once the call connected.
"I know. This is about the upgraded fifteen-in-one medicine cauldron, isn't it?" Dr. Benjamin II had clearly been paying attention to the cauldrons on the market; he already knew about Wei Zhao's upgrade.
"Exactly, that's the very thing. If we don't improve and upgrade ours, then no one will buy our products anymore! What's at stake here isn't just my profit—it's your center's profit too. We split the money together, so if you don't come up with something, all our earlier efforts will have been wasted," Kang Jingming said.
"Who says I'm not coming up with something? These past few days I've been studying the programmer driver you copied for me!" Dr. Benjamin II said. "With the programmer's driver, I can crack the parameters and definitions of that special microcontroller chip. With those, I'll know the general principle of the microcontroller chip and can set about cracking it."
"Oh? Really? So you've already broken that microcontroller chip?" Kang Jingming had never expected that the programmer driver he had copied so casually would turn out to be so useful!
"Naturally. Give me a few days and I'll be able to read the program out of the microcontroller successfully!" Dr. Benjamin II said. "Without this microcontroller driver, I'd probably never manage to crack it in my lifetime, but with it, everything has become much easier."
"Excellent! All right then, I'll send you a fifteen-in-one medicine cauldron in the next few days. You crack the program, and we'll offer upgrade services for our cauldrons too," Kang Jingming said.
"Fine, mail one to me," Dr. Benjamin II said. "By the time your package arrives, I should have cracked it more or less."
"Good, then I'll go get it ready!" Kang Jingming said.
What Wei Zhao had not expected was that a week later, the Xuandan Sect also rolled out a medicine cauldron upgrade service—and the upgrade fee was only a hundred million yuan, half of Wei Zhao's two hundred million! What was more, the Xuandan Sect announced publicly that whenever Guandafu Pharmaceuticals upgraded its cauldrons, the Xuandan Sect would promptly produce an upgrade of its own, within no more than a week.
The moment this news came out, the users who had bought the Xuandan Sect's cauldrons were instantly elated, and the sects and families who had been preparing to buy Wei Zhao's cauldrons began to waver and hesitate! After all, the Xuandan Sect's cauldrons were much cheaper, and so was the upgrade fee!
The upgrade might be a little slower than Wei Zhao's, but not by much—about a week's wait was still acceptable. The most important thing was that it could be upgraded at all!
