Chapter 353: Chapter 231: Fake Medical Robot (Second update, please subscribe)_1

August 24th.

In an old neighborhood in Haicheng.

An old lady is bragging to the other seniors around her that she obtained a private health robot through her inside connections.

"Did you really manage to buy a health robot?" A white-haired but energetic old lady curiously asked.

Wang Cuifen nodded proudly, "Of course, my son’s classmate works at a large pharmaceutical company, he got hold of an internal purchase privilege. People haven’t even started selling it publicly yet."

"Your son is really good to you."

"I’ve wanted a medical health robot for a while, it’s quite stylish, and it has great functions too."

"But I haven’t heard that Mist City Arts and Science University’s medical health robot Big White is formally in production and sales yet?"

An old man raised his doubt.

Wang Cuifen glared at this old man, "What would you know! My health robot is made by a big company, it was not cheap."

"How much for one?"

"Yes, yes, how much?"

"Is it useful?"

"I heard it can diagnose any disease, and can even treat you when you get sick?"

"That’s exaggerated, it’s supposed to provide treatment plans."

"Oh yes, yes, treatment plans, treatment plans, curing diseases still requires going to the hospital."

"Cuifen, how much is a health robot?"

Seeing so many people around her eagerly asking her, Wang Cuifen felt greatly satisfied, then she responded: "200,000 per unit!"

"200,000, it doesn’t seem that expensive."

"I think it’s a bit expensive."

"Think about it, when you suddenly fall ill at home, the health robot can call 120 for you right away, and even find medicine for you to take. I think 200,000 is worth it."

"Only 200,000, my son’s annual salary is already 800,000, I will let my son buy one for me."

"Are you still using your son’s money? My retirement money plus savings is enough for me to buy one."

"Old Li, I can’t compare with you."

"I bought a set of health products that can prevent and treat diabetes, and several pairs of health-care shoe pads last year. Look at me now, don’t I look energetic?"

"We’re getting old, so we need to pay attention to our health. Spending 200,000 to buy a health robot to ensure health, I think it’s worth it!"

Due to the promotion of the Rentang Medical Technology Group among the elderly, the Rentang Health Robot has already penetrated the hearts of the elderly.

These elderly people thought that the Rentang Health Robot was the popular health robot Big White they had heard about online. Even their children had been praising that health robot before.

So many elderly men and women who didn’t know the truth were deceived by the promotion of the Rentang Medical Technology Group.

In reality, the health robots that were being produced on the Dingli Group’s production line at that moment were all cheap knockoffs of the Big White.

They had changed the appearance a bit, changing Big White’s polyvinyl alcohol fiber body into a white metal shell. Many functions were also discarded due to cost and technological constraints, turning into a simplified version.

It’s fair to say that Dingli Group’s manufactured health robots were simply humorous scams created to deceive the elderly, under the label of "health robots".

Just like all the health-care products that the Rentang Medical Technology Group had been selling to the elderly for many years.

They claimed the products could prevent and treat heart diseases, bone proliferation, and even prevent cancer. They were actually very cheap products but were sold at a high price.

What was most important was that many elderly men and women who didn’t know the truth actually spent a lot of money to buy a bunch of those products.

It’s because of this successful marketing experience that the Rentang Medical Technology Group was planning to make a fortune again by riding on the trends from Mist City Arts and Science University’s medical health robot, the Big White!

Luo Peng, a mechanical engineer of the Dingli Group, had decided to "defect" to the Feiyue Group because he could not stand the collusion between his company and the Rentang Medical Technology Group.

With the Rentang Medical Technology Group’s constant propaganda among the elderly, countless elderly men and women were being indoctrinated daily and waiting to buy the health robot priced at 200,000 yuan each.

Moreover, the Rentang Medical Technology Group had already started presale.

The number of pre-orders on their official website had already exceeded 30,000 machines.

In fact, those who were able to pre-order on the official website were the sons and daughters of those elderly people.

They were also deceived, thinking that the Rentang Health Robot of Rentang Medical Technology was the same as the medical health robot of Mist City Arts and Science University, or at least it was a health robot authorized by that technology, otherwise, why would it be sold at a high price of 200,000 yuan?

In addition to online pre-sales, sales representatives from the Rentang Medical Technology Group also signed a large number of pre-purchase agreements offline with elderly folks all over the country.

Meanwhile, on the production line of the Dingli Group, they were working overtime to mass-produce the Rentang Health Robot.

Every single unit is filled with massive profit, which is the powerful motivation driving them to do such a thing!

In Xu Wei’s office, he was on the phone with Liu Guanghui from the Dingli Group.

"President Xu, how many orders are you planning to ship in the first batch?" Liu Guanghui asked about the situation so he could adjust his company’s production accordingly.

If the amount is substantial enough, the Dingli Group can fully suspend all other production lines temporarily, and devote them completely to the production of orders for Rentang Medical Technology Group’s health robots.

"We should be looking at about 200,000 orders." Xu Wei said with a smile: "And this is just the beginning. I estimate that our elderly folks in China could deliver us more than 500,000 orders!"

"200,000 orders, with each health robot costing 200,000, this..."

Liu Guanghui didn’t dare to do the math.

Besides the low production cost and material cost of about 7,000 or 8,000 yuan, and sales cost, the profit within these is still very handsome.

And his Dingli Group could also rake in huge profits from it!

In fact, Ding Yue had some grasp of the production situation at the Dingli Group through Luo Peng.

Through the production situation of the fake Big White robots by Dingli Group, Ding Yue could also infer the sales situation at the Rentang Medical Technology Group.

With the Dingli Group’s powerful manufacturing capacity, it would not be long before the Rentang Medical Technology Group would sell a large number of these knockoff health robots.

Ding Yue was ready to seize the opportune moment to deliver the deadliest blow to both the Dingli Group and the Rentang Medical Technology Group.

However, these days, Ding Yue was most concerned about the registration status of the new students at his Mist City Arts and Science University.

The total number of new student enrollments on the first day, August 23, was about 13,000.

It didn’t reach the target number for the system task, but this was not a big issue, or to be exact, there was no issue at all, because student registration would continue for several more days.

On August 24, according to Qi Chunsheng, the head of the Academic Affairs Office, the total number of new student registrations was about 6,000.

The number of new student registrations for the first and second days already exceeded 15,000. Ding Yue successfully fulfilled his [2021 Enrollment Task] target, but he did not receive a reward on August 24, because the reward would only be issued after the task was successfully completed.

After confirming he had accomplished his [2021 Enrollment Task], Ding Yue was no longer worried, and even started to look forward to the [Level 3 University Treasure Chest] in the task reward, of course, along with one billion yuan in school funding and 1,000 reputation points.

Besides these, the tuition and accommodation fees paid by new students after registration is also a very substantial income.

Last year, with more than 9,600 students, they received about three billion yuan. The number of students this year has more than doubled, so Ding Yue estimated that this year’s new student tuition and accommodation fees, Mist City Arts and Science University should be able to receive around seven or eight billion yuan.

Then, the 9,600 second-year students would need to pay their 2021 tuition and accommodation fees, which would be about three billion yuan!

Adding this all up, they could comfortably rake in over ten billion yuan from their student leeks this year!

And this is only the situation when there are just two grades of students. After two years, when all four grades of students are accepted at Mist City Arts and Science University - first, second, third, and fourth year students - Ding Yue didn’t dare to even think about how much tuition and accommodation fees alone would be.

Although these funds would be taxed, Xia Country in this parallel world did provide significant tax benefits for private education.

About three thousand people reported successively on August 25 and 26.

On the morning of August 27.

In the principal’s office in the Administration Building.

Qi Chunsheng, the head of the Academic Affairs Office, was reporting the detailed registration situation of new students to Principal Ding.

"Principal Ding, as of last night, our school has officially admitted 22,761 students this year, among which the enrollment numbers for the Computer, Mechanical, Architectural, E-sports, Medical, Physics, Chemistry, Law, Art, Film and Television, and Institute of Traditional Chinese Studies have significantly increased compared to last year."

"In addition, the number of students in most other traditional specialties has also generally increased quite a bit."

Ding Yue didn’t listen very carefully to Qi Chunsheng’s report, because he could look at the data reports from the Academic Affairs Office later.

What Ding Yue was most concerned about right now was his enrollment task reward.

At this moment, a familiar system prompt finally sounded in Ding Yue’s mind.

Ding!

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing the [2021 Enrollment Task]."

"Congratulations, Host, for receiving the [2021 Enrollment Task] reward: Reputation Points +1000, School Funds +100 million yuan, [Level 3 University Treasure Chest +1]."

What Ding Yue had been most looking forward to, naturally, was this [Level 3 University Treasure Chest]. This is the highest level University Treasure Chest that Ding Yue has received so far.

He was wondering what good items can be drawn from inside it...
