Chapter 842 High-tech Health Testing
In the next few days, Zhang Jian wandered around several places in the city, either at the counters selling health products or to the doctors in Chinese and Western medicine shops.
He carefully observed the communication methods between the sales clerks, doctors and customers (patients), paid attention to their expressions and gestures when they spoke, and even wrote down some noteworthy details in a small notebook he carried with him at all times.
A few days later, Zhang Jian went back to the place where he had done business before and found a local person he was familiar with. Through this local person, he spent money to get an Amiga 500 computer brought from Hong Kong.
This computer was just launched last year and is one of the most advanced personal computers available today. Although it is not brand new, it still cost Zhang Jian more than 10,000 yuan.
After getting the computer, Zhang Jian spent a lot of money to prepare some things, then asked someone to find a computer-savvy teacher at Yangcheng University and told him his requirements. He then spent several hundred yuan to ask the other party to help him make a small program.
After more than half a month of hard work and repeated adjustments, Zhang Jian finally achieved the effect he needed. After he finished and felt that there was no problem, Zhang Jian started his action.
On this day, Zhang Jian set up a stall in the center of Yangcheng City. It is still very convenient to set up a stall in today's society. You just have to pay some management fees to the market administrator. As for what you sell at the stall or what business you do, people generally don't care.
Zhang Jian's stall was different from the other stalls. He set up a big table with a computer and various gadgets on it. Then he ran to say hello to the nearby merchants, stuffed a pack of cigarettes into their bags, dragged a power cord over, and plugged in the computers and accessories.
After finishing all this, everything looks very high-end. After turning on the computer, a series of English characters flashes, giving it an extremely technological feel.
Zhang Jian himself was wearing a white coat and a white hat, and he put on makeup to make himself look ten years older. With a pair of plain gold-rimmed glasses, he looked no different from a professional doctor.
Then, Zhang Jian put a sign on the table. On the sign were six big characters: "Computer Health Check". Below that were several lines of small characters, which said that the most advanced high-tech physical examination in the world could detect various diseases, detect health risks in advance, ensure a healthy life, etc.
After fiddling with all these, Zhang Jian sat there waiting for customers to come. Not long after the sign was put up, several people gathered around curiously, looking at the high-tech gadgets on the table and asking what they were for.
In this era, the popularity of computers was still very low. Although the news report "Start learning computers from an early age" was published in newspapers several years ago, for ordinary people, computers still existed only in propaganda. Most people had only heard of them but had never seen one.
Even in colleges and universities and research institutions, computers are undoubted treasures. There are strict regulations on the storage and use of computers, among which the "computer room" is a distinctive representative one.
Some units will set up a dedicated computer room to store computers. This room is not only equipped with air conditioning to maintain a constant temperature, but also covered with carpets. People who enter have to wear special "computer clothes" to prevent damage to the computer due to dust and static electricity.
Moreover, each time you use the computer, you must apply in advance, and only after approval can you enter the computer room and use the computer.
It is precisely because of these reasons that ordinary people have only heard of high-tech products such as computers but have never seen them. Even if they have seen computers, most people have only seen them but have never used them.
Coupled with the country's promotion of computers in recent years, especially the extensive reports of the Galaxy computer breaking through the billion-calculation-per-second mark a few years ago, computers have become a symbol of high-tech and advanced technology in the minds of ordinary people.
How could Zhang Jian not attract attention by displaying such a precious computer on the street? What's more curious is that Zhang Jian also put out a sign for computer health check, which made people wonder what it was for.
Zhang Jian was not in a hurry either. He imitated the posture of an old doctor in a Chinese medicine shop, with a smile on his face, and explained a few simple sentences in a leisurely tone.
Pointing to the computer and some accessories connected to the computer, including other devices, he told the people around him that this is not an ordinary computer, but a professional medical testing instrument that has just been launched abroad after years of research and development. This instrument can detect a person's physical health status in a very convenient and quick way, thereby guiding those participating in the test on how to avoid some bad living habits, regulate their bodies, stay healthy, and achieve the effect of longevity.
When the crowd heard Zhang Jian's words, they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. How could there be such advanced technology in the world? It was simply unheard of!
All of a sudden, everyone started talking about it. A few people who half understood told everyone that computers were indeed very powerful technology and were very high-tech even in the United States. Moreover, computers played an important role and could do things that many people could not do.
Atomic bombs and artificial satellites are amazing, right? Back then, the country spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the development of the two bombs and one satellite. If computers were used to replace manpower today, it would save a lot of time and improve efficiency.
There are many high-tech fields where using computers to calculate and analyze can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Even such work can be done by computers, so what is the point of testing the body? Moreover, computers are such advanced gadgets that they are definitely more accurate than manual testing during the testing process !
These words made people who didn't know much about computers nod their heads in agreement. In addition, due to the preconceived notions and associations people had gained from the media's publicity about computers over the years, they all became very interested in Zhang Jian's computer health check.
"Doctor, how do I do this computer health check?" Finally, a middle-aged woman couldn't help but ask.
"It's very simple. Just sit down and I'll connect the device to you with a cable. Then I'll start the computer and it will automatically scan your body. Generally, the results will be available in a few minutes." Zhang Jian answered slowly.
"Is it that simple?" The middle-aged woman was a little surprised. Before, it would take more than half a day to get a check-up at the hospital, and it would take a long time just to wait for the results. How could it be so simple in the mouth of this "doctor"?
"Of course, this is a high-tech product!" Zhang Jian raised his chin slightly, looking confident.
"Yes, this is a computer! Why is it called high-tech? It must be faster and more accurate than what is used in the hospital!" the person next to him agreed.
The middle-aged woman thought about it and agreed. After hearing the explanations from others and seeing Zhang Jian's calm demeanor, she couldn't help but be moved.
"Doctor, how much does this test cost?" asked the middle-aged woman.
"We are now providing convenient services. We do not charge testing fees. We only charge some computer equipment fees and consumables fees," Zhang Jian replied.
"No testing fee? That's great?" The middle-aged woman was immediately delighted.
Zhang Jian coughed twice and corrected: "The testing fee is free, but as I said just now, the equipment fee and consumables fee are still charged."
"Yes, yes, I just heard it. By the way, doctor, how much does the equipment and consumables cost?" the middle-aged woman asked impatiently.
"Not much, 30 yuan," Zhang Jian replied.
"30 yuan..." The middle-aged woman hesitated when she heard the amount. 30 yuan is not too much, but it is not too little either! Guangzhou was opened earlier, and everyone's income is higher, but the average person's monthly salary is only a little over 100 yuan, and the better ones are around 200 yuan. 30 yuan for one checkup is not too little.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The equipment and consumables are all imported. Sister, besides, money has a price, but health is priceless. Don't you agree?" When Zhang Jian said this, the middle-aged woman was instantly defeated.
The middle-aged woman already had a strong interest , and what Zhang Jian said made sense. She then thought that this kind of computer health check was unique, and all the equipment and consumables were imported. If it was expensive, there must be a reason for it.
Isn't there an old saying? Good goods are not cheap, cheap goods are not good, you get what you pay for. In addition, the middle-aged woman was very fashionable, she was not short of money, 30 yuan was nothing to her.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman made up her mind, sat down, took out 30 yuan from her bag and handed it to Zhang Jian, asking him to help her with the test.
Zhang Jian took the money and nodded slightly, took a cushion and put it on the table, and asked the middle-aged woman to put her hand on the cushion. Then Zhang Jian took a gadget similar to a blood pressure monitor, which was connected to a wire behind it, which was connected to a computer and auxiliary equipment, and then tied it to the middle-aged woman's arm one by one, and then carefully checked the tightness and position, and then nodded.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Zhang Jian began to type on the computer keyboard with both hands. Commands flashed across the computer screen, and then a program started. The program was all in English. When the program started, a man who knew English exclaimed in surprise among the onlookers. The bystanders asked him what happened. He pointed to the running program and explained that the computer was now displaying a picture of an automatic human body scan and analysis of body performance.
As soon as this answer came out, everyone was amazed again.
The screen kept jumping, and Zhang Jian watched it intently, occasionally typing on the keyboard. His eyes occasionally passed over the middle-aged woman's face, but because he was wearing plain glasses and lowered his head slightly, no one else noticed his action.
Two minutes later, Zhang Jian pressed a button and the flickering screen finally stopped, then displayed the result. Zhang Jian fiddled with it and the printer started to click and print out a piece of paper. Zhang Jian tore the paper off the printer, untied the cable from the woman's hand, and smiled as he told her the test was complete.
