Market Research

The next morning, Mo Jingchun yawned repeatedly. When he carried his sister Candy into the classroom, he just smiled in response to the female classmates' thanks.

Mo Jingchun hadn't walked even ten steps in the classroom before his arms became empty. The little one was taken by Li Xuanyu, who had premature gray hair.

He had thought all night. By the time Mo Jingchun figured some things out and came back to his senses, he realized it was already 3:13 AM.

He was woken up by his alarm at a little past seven in the morning. He hadn't slept well at all the entire night, leaving him completely listless from the moment he woke up until now.

After one class in the morning, Mo Jingchun's eyelids were fighting each other. He was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open, but he absolutely dared not sleep in class, fearing he would be photographed through the window by someone from the Student Union.

He finally made it to noon. After Mo Jingchun took the little one to eat lunch, he immediately fell asleep. By the time afternoon classes started, he had barely regained some energy. Although his eyes were still a bit tired, it wasn't as exaggerated as in the morning.

Despite this, Mo Jingchun was still absent-minded during the afternoon class, his thoughts not on the lesson at all.

Mo Jingchun kept hoping time would pass faster so class would end and he could go back to conduct market research online. Mo Jingchun was eager to know if there was a market for such an anti-shake spoon and if patients would be willing to pay for it.

Only a spoon that could make money would Mo Jingchun be willing to spend more time and effort researching and developing. Otherwise, what was the point of developing a spoon that others wouldn't accept and no one would buy?

Was he so rich he had nowhere to spend his money?

Most, most, most importantly, Mo Jingchun wanted to give his sister Candy a better life!

If he didn't have the ability, so be it. But when he did have the ability, why wouldn't he work hard to give his sister the best living and learning conditions!

"What's wrong with Mo Jingchun today? He's been so absent-minded. I just called him, and he didn't seem to hear me at all, just kept running out with his head down."

After the last class in the afternoon ended, the women who were packing their bags gathered around and discussed as they watched Mo Jingchun run off.

"Maybe Candy was a bit fussy last night, and Mo Jingchun didn't sleep well all night. I saw Mo Jingchun dozing off in the morning, almost sleeping on his desk."

"Should we tell the counselor?"

"Let's not. Let's see how it is tomorrow. Maybe Lan Lan is right, Mo Jingchun just didn't sleep well last night. It's normal to not sleep well often when taking care of a child."

"Then... let's see tomorrow," Yang Xiaoyu shrugged her shoulders.

It had just gotten dark outside. The little one, full and satisfied, clung to Mo Jingchun's arms and absolutely refused to go to bed to play by herself. Helpless, Mo Jingchun could only hold the little one and use his laptop to search online for various information about smart anti-shake spoons and existing products.

All night, Mo Jingchun tirelessly searched for information online. At a little past nine, the little one fell asleep in Mo Jingchun's arms and even drooled a puddle on Mo Jingchun's chest. If he hadn't felt his clothes getting wet, Mo Jingchun wouldn't have noticed that the little one had fallen asleep at some point.

Mo Jingchun carefully placed Candy on the bed and covered her with a blanket to prevent the little one from catching a cold due to the cool weather.

Mo Jingchun continued to search for literature and relevant information about anti-shake spoons on various online shopping platforms until past ten in the evening.

Through his research, Mo Jingchun finally concluded that there were many anti-shake spoons on the market, but for smart anti-shake spoons, the lowest price was 2315 yuan, while the most expensive smart anti-shake spoon cost over ten thousand US dollars and was currently the best anti-shake spoon available.

As for the anti-shake spoons under a thousand yuan with the highest sales volume, they all achieved anti-shake through mechanical means. Some so-called anti-shake spoons were just ordinary spoons with a handle added, but their price was five to eight times higher than the original.

These so-called anti-shake spoons were simply using the title of "anti-shake" to sell ordinary spoons that couldn't be more ordinary.

Mo Jingchun read some reviews for a few of the best-selling anti-shake spoons, which were filled with various frustrations.

Regarding the best and most expensive smart anti-shake spoon, Mo Jingchun had to admit the strength of the research team behind the American merchants.

According to many UP reviewers, as long as the hand shaking wasn't too exaggerated and the shaking amplitude didn't exceed 10 centimeters, the food in the spoon would indeed not be easily shaken off. However, when the UP reviewers tested the smart anti-shake spoon for drinking water, the results were somewhat unsatisfactory.

A full spoon of water ended up with less than a third reaching the mouth, with over two-thirds of the water being shaken onto the table by the testing UP.

Despite this, it did not detract from the power of this smart anti-shake spoon!

The only thing that ordinary people might find unacceptable is its price. If the price of this smart anti-shake spoon were more affordable, dropping from over ten thousand US dollars to between two and three thousand yuan, Mo Jingchun believes this spoon would definitely sell like hotcakes across the entire internet, especially in Xia Country!

Within a reasonable and acceptable price range, Xia Country has never lacked children who are filial to their parents.

But Mo Jingchun is different; he doesn't need to consider the research costs for the software at all. The main costs are instead the materials and the internal chip. And even the most expensive chip isn't actually that costly, because it doesn't require a high-end chip. Mo Jingchun feels that a domestic 28nm chip is more than sufficient. A smart anti-shake spoon doesn't need powerful computing capabilities or multi-threaded, multi-core collaborative operation like smartphones do.

Mo Jingchun is not only a visionary but also a man of action!

He acts on his ideas. Starting from the second day, after finishing classes and having dinner with his sister Candy every day, Mo Jingchun would always go to the most popular place on the Jing University campus – the school library!

According to school regulations, each enrolled undergraduate student can borrow a maximum of five books from the library using their campus card. They must be returned within a month, and extensions can be requested via mobile phone upon expiry, up to three times.

Every day, rain or shine, Mo Jingchun would go to the school library to borrow and read books related to mechanics, and he would record any questions he had.

As time passed, half a month later, the initial draft of Mo Jingchun's smart anti-shake spoon design was completed. However, Mo Jingchun had also accumulated dozens of pages of mechanical problems.

If these problems couldn't be solved, then even the most powerful posture balance algorithm would appear pale and ineffective without hardware support.
