Compared to the previous days of attending classes and taking care of his sister Candy, Mo Jingchun now has an additional daily task: feeding the child every night and, after dinner, heading to the office to listen to Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan's work reports.

Under the streetlights, the two figures, one large and one small, headed towards the well-lit university innovation and entrepreneurship incubation base.

The small office had no conference table, but thankfully, there weren't many people, so there was no need to make it too formal.

Mo Jingchun sat on the office chair with his sister Candy in his arms. The little one, having eaten well in the evening, was bored, using a bumpy teething stick to tap on the office desk.

"Boss, the patent application for the practical intelligent anti-shake spoon design has been submitted. It's expected to be approved after the new year."

"Today's main task was just to handle this matter." After reporting his work, Xu Pengfei stepped aside to let Su Wenyan continue with her report.

"On my side, I have found suppliers for the common parts and signed contracts with 36 suppliers. As long as the payment is in place, the suppliers will ship the parts immediately."

"Some uncommon parts need to be customized, and manufacturers require mold opening. Since our company's initial purchase quantity is not large, slightly larger factories are unwilling to take the order, so we can only find small factories."

"As a result, the precision of the parts might be somewhat lacking."

After finishing, Su Wenyan added, "I will visit several small factories for comparison to select the best one."

Holding Candy, Mo Jingchun nodded, then looked towards Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan, asking, "Has the cost assessment been done? How much does it cost to produce a single intelligent anti-shake spoon?"

"It's been done." Xu Pengfei nodded, picked up a table from the desk, and handed it to Mo Jingchun.

"Boss, the cost of the intelligent anti-shake spoon is much lower than Su Wenyan and I expected, especially due to the 28nm domestic chip. Since the technology is already quite mature, the price is very cheap; bulk purchases cost only a dozen yuan each."

"The total cost to produce a new intelligent anti-shake spoon fluctuates between three hundred to three hundred and ten yuan. Of course, this doesn't include the research cost of internal software."

Only Mo Jingchun knew the cost of the intelligent anti-shake spoon's attitude balance algorithm research. Besides the coding time, it was almost zero cost.

Mo Jingchun held his sister Candy's right hand, which was tapping the desk with the teething stick, and slowly said, "What do you think is a suitable selling price for this intelligent anti-shake spoon?"

The small office suddenly fell silent.

Su Wenyan and Xu Pengfei were both lost in thought. To be honest, none of the four people in the office had experience in this area.

Not to mention the little one, who doesn't even understand that 1+1=2. Letting the little one set the price would be a joke.

Mo Jingchun, being a complete novice, doesn't need to be mentioned either.

Though Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan had learned product pricing models through professional theoretical knowledge, they didn't know the cost of the software for the intelligent anti-shake spoon at all.

Moreover, the intelligent anti-shake spoon is different from other products, as the target audience is different. Those who have shaky hands impacting their daily lives usually have limited income. If the intelligent anti-shake spoon is priced too high, not many will buy it; if too cheap, people might think the product isn't good enough and not worth spending the money on.

After a moment of silence, Su Wenyan was the first to speak, saying, "My suggestion is 2999 yuan. This is a relatively moderate price, a bit more expensive than the average intelligent anti-shake spoon available now, but significantly cheaper than those selling for tens of thousands. For most families, 2999 is just the price of a regular smartphone, which is entirely within an acceptable range."

After speaking, Su Wenyan looked at Xu Pengfei, eager to know what price he would suggest.

"Boss, may I ask about the development cost of the control program for the intelligent anti-shake spoon? After all, the control program is the soul of the intelligent anti-shake spoon. Without the control program, no matter how perfect the hardware design is, it's pointless."

Mo Jingchun comforted the slightly discontent Candy in his arms and softly said to the two, "The control algorithm is developed by myself. In terms of cost, does buying a laptop worth a few thousand yuan to write the algorithm count?"

Xu Pengfei: I...

Su Wenyan: I...

Of course, it counts! But isn't this development cost a bit too minimal?

"Boss, I think it can be sold for 2399 yuan, preferably before the Spring Festival, and should come with exquisite packaging for the intelligent anti-shake spoon."

"I think for families in need, this is definitely the best New Year gift! Being able to have the New Year's Eve dinner by themselves would certainly make the patients very happy."

It makes a lot of sense, but 2999 is also very tempting.

As he pondered, Mo Jingchun looked down at the restless Candy in his arms, and suddenly, a thought struck him.

Since it's hard to decide, let this little muddlehead Candy make the decision. Anyway, the money earned is all for Candy.

Mo Jingchun immediately picked up two blank A4 sheets, writing the prices suggested by Su Wenyan and Xu Pengfei on them, respectively. Su Wenyan and Xu Pengfei watched their boss's moves, looking confused.

After sticking the two papers together, shuffling them, and placing them back on the table, Mo Jingchun put the little one on the desk, smilingly saying, "Candy, pick one, and after that, we'll go home and sleep."

Candy had no idea what Mo Jingchun meant, instinctively kicking one of the folded papers off the table, leaving one on it.

And there it was, the result.

Mo Jingchun unfolded the A4 paper and saw 2399.

"Then it's 2399. Just consider it a blessing for the little one."

"Let's go; you guys should go back and rest early. Keep it up tomorrow!"

Mo Jingchun left, just as he came gently with Candy in his arms, leaving lightly without a trace of cloud.

On January 10th, the sky over Jing University was overcast, seeming likely to snow at any moment, while all the undergraduate students at Jing University welcomed the happiest week of all - the final exam week.

Once the exams are over, they can carry their suitcases and go home.

For those students who haven't been home for almost a year, nothing is more delightful than returning home.

Mo Jingchun was no exception. He had long planned to return home, even though there would only be him and his sister Candy at home.

But a home is a home! New Year means going back home!

Last week, Mo Jingchun had already bought his high-speed train ticket home. Just wait for the exams to finish, and he can pack up and go home.
