Three days later, the Indian branch of Stellar Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
Because Zhang Heng gave the request in too short a time, Zhao Qing finally decided to hold a press conference directly in the internal hall of the cryonics center. This solution can directly solve the space problem and satisfy the curiosity of all those who want to know what the inside of a cryonics center is like.
Zhao Qing is not worried at all. He bets that even the most demanding customers will not have any objections to the cryonics center. The structure inside is like a spaceship. The walls, floors, and corridors are all made of stamped steel plates and bulletproof glass. They are clean and clean. Even if you fire a gun casually, the bullet will ricochet more than a dozen times. It is so safe that you can't even imagine it.
When Zhao Qing announced that he was going to hold a press conference, the global online media went crazy—this mysterious company that invented antifreeze and almost set off a global wave was suddenly going to hold a press conference
This is like the sun coming out from the west!
You must know that this unconventional company did not hold a press conference even when antifreeze, a time-changing drug, was certified by the FDA, nor did it hold a press conference when the cryonics center opened. press conference.
Now that it has been open for more than half a month, have you even thought of holding a press conference
It's just a pity that this company doesn't seem to have any intention of promoting it. It only invited about a hundred well-known scientific and business media around the world. As for the media that focuses on entertainment news, it didn't invite any media.
Although not many media were invited, many of them still flew thousands of miles to Mumbai. When Zhao Qing was notified by the clone warriors, he was completely stunned.
There are still a few hours before the press conference, but thousands of media reporters have gathered outside the gate of Hengxing Technology, and the number is still increasing.
Zhao Qing did not dare to offend these media too harshly. They controlled the direction of public opinion. If they offended the media, they would write a critical report and it would affect the company's image.
With no other choice, Zhao Qing decided to move the press conference from the lobby of the cryonics center to the company square.
This is a good method. The clone warriors set up a high platform and a huge screen in the square, and then placed a large number of chairs under the platform. Even this is probably not enough, so they can only make do. Except for those who were invited The media can sit at the front of the stands, while the rest who come uninvited have to stand at the back.
Soon, a press conference finally began. Zhao Qing, Minamino Shuichi and several senior executives sat on the stage. Because it was just a simple press conference, there would be no introduction or opening remarks. Zhao Qing said with a smile, "Everyone, this press conference was too rushed. I would like to express my sincere apologies to all my journalist friends. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to all my friends who have traveled thousands of miles to attend our company's press conference. Thank you all. !”
Zhao Qing stood up and bowed together with everyone, and there was polite applause from the audience.
"About this press conference, I think everyone must have a doubt." Zhao Qing continued, "Why didn't we hold a press conference when we invented antifreeze? Why didn't we hold a press conference when the drug Tondo was certified by the US FDA? Hold a press conference? Why didn’t we hold a press conference when the cryonics center opened?”
Seeing everyone's expressions of wanting to know, Zhao Qing said with an extremely solemn expression, "It's because, just three days ago, we finally finalized the price of the cryonics service. The previous price was inappropriate because And some adjustments.”
Everyone was shocked, and their breathing became rapid. When Stellar Technology offered a price of one million US dollars, it must be said that this price was too high! It’s so high that only one-tenth or even one percent of the entire human race can afford it, and the rest will certainly not be willing to do so.
Why
It doesn’t matter if it’s something else. For example, you bought a sports car and I bought a bicycle. Although it’s not as good as yours, it doesn’t mean that the car you bought is more expensive than mine, so you are one step ahead of me. No matter how rich that person is, from the perspective of life, the two are still equal.
And what is the most equal thing for human beings
It's death! Only death is an inevitable outcome that everyone will experience. Therefore, even if there is a huge wealth gap between two people, people can always find other ways to make up for this imbalance, such as: I am happier than you, I am more leisurely than you, I live longer than you, etc.
However, the emergence of cryonics centers has brought about inequality in life - rich people can freeze their bodies at the end of their lifespan, and wait quietly for tens or hundreds of years before life-extending drugs appear. By that time, Those rich people can even live hundreds or even thousands of years longer than ordinary people!
Even the most broad-minded people cannot bear this kind of injustice, regardless of caring or morality, just because survival is the instinct of life.
That's all!
When the reporters heard Zhao Qing say that he wanted to reposition the frozen price, all the reporters subconsciously stopped all actions. For a moment, the drop of a pin could be heard in Nuo Da Square!
"The new price is like this." But then, Zhao Qing's face seemed to twitch, whether it was nervousness or some other emotion, but everyone's attention was attracted by the words in Zhao Qing's mouth. Anyone noticed the lapse in his expression.
Zhao Qing gently gestured to the audience. Suddenly, the huge screen behind Zhao Qing lit up, and a well-designed PPT appeared in front of everyone!
The background of this PPT is the logo of Stellar Technology. The background color is dark blue, which represents high technology. Coupled with the square texture and fonts, it gives people a calm and heavy feeling.
There were a few hundred words on the screen. Although not many, they briefly introduced the introduction and functions of Stellar Technology and the cryonics center, as well as the prospects of immortality through cryogenic sleep of the human body.
These were not very important. Zhao Qing simply ignored them and turned to the second page. At the top of the screen was a line of titles that read: Cryonics Center Membership System, and below was a column of tables.
"As you can see, the vertical column of the table is divided into six cells. From low to high, they are: ordinary members, junior members, senior members, junior VIP members, senior VIP members, and top members. This is our new hierarchy. " Zhao Qing said.
"The horizontal columns of the form write the various permissions that various members have. There are many and complicated permissions. For example, top members have priority to unfreeze. This means that as long as you become a top member, after you find a solution to your disease, You will receive the highest priority of unfreezing treatment and treatment.”
"For another example, high V members and top members have special freezing warehouse treatment, while other members are placed in the drawers of the freezer after being frozen."
"For another example, high-V and top-level members have the privilege of waking up and having family and friends visit them once a year, while junior V and senior members have the privilege of waking up once every five years, and junior members have the privilege of being able to visit them once every ten years. Ordinary members do not have the above-mentioned privileges. "
After Zhao Qing finished speaking, everyone started whispering, and many of the reporters even raised their hands directly without waiting.
"Journalist friend, please speak." Zhao Qing pointed to a beautiful blonde reporter sitting in the front row.
"Thank you. I am a reporter from the Washington Post. What is the meaning of these levels divided by your company? And if I want to undergo cryonics, how do I need to upgrade my level?" asked the blonde beauty.
All the reporters present looked satisfied. The Washington Post is one of the most influential newspapers in the United States. It is famous for its reliable news and sharp articles. At this time, the question asked by the blonde beauty was exactly what most of them asked. People want to ask.
"That's a good question." Zhao Qing said with a smile, "Do you still remember the original charging model? The top membership here is the original charging model. With a one-time payment of one million, you can become a top member. And top members Below, the high V members are 500,000, the junior V members are 300,000, the senior members are 200,000, the junior members are 100,000, and the ordinary members are 50,000.”
"Take ordinary members as an example. As long as you pay $50,000, you can get the most basic freezing service. We will not thaw you until the day when technology develops to the point where the disease that bothers you can be cured."
Some reporters immediately looked surprised, $50,000! This is a price that middle-income countries can barely afford. Although this price is still a bit too high for people in developing countries, at least it is not as out of reach as millions of dollars.
Some smart reporters can even imagine that the introduction of this tiered service policy will definitely earn dozens of times more wealth than the previous charging model! The unabashed, violent and direct hierarchical service model is simply... shameless!
Most of the reporters gasped on the spot! I am shocked and amazed by Stellar Technology’s shameless behavior of making money. This is simply a genius idea!
At this moment, not only the scene, but also countless networks around the world are broadcasting this conference live. After people in most countries learned about the existence of the grading system, their first reaction was to feel incredible, and their second reaction was that it was huge. Keep scolding! But while scolding, the dissatisfaction and panic in everyone's heart were completely calmed down by surprise, because mankind has finally restored its previous balance - no matter how rich people are, life is equal. You can get refrigeration service, which is the biggest balance.
As for those extremely backward countries in Africa and so on, who cares if they die
The Chinese netizens watching the live broadcast were surprisingly calm. After seeing the form on the screen behind Zhao Qing, they kept posting "666" barrages. Everyone understood that this charging model was too normal. In the end, I don’t know who started it. The barrage even turned into a dumbfounding barrage like “I don’t have the money to freeze you to paralysis.”
At this moment, at the press conference, Zhao Qing finally concluded, "The cryonics center accepts installment payments. You can freeze first and then pay by relatives and friends. It fully promotes the service tenet of people-oriented and customers are God. This is what we are holding this time." The purpose of the press conference and the slogan of our Hengxing Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is: use technology to change life and use the present to create the future!”
Everyone immediately applauded.
After the press conference, Zhao Qing certainly would not miss the idea of showing off the cryonics center. He invited all reporters present to visit, but they were not allowed to touch any instruments, otherwise they would be asked to leave.
After a reporter visited the cryonics center, he wrote in amazement in the report: "I believe that any visitor who sees the building of the Stellar Technology cryonics center will be amazed by the company's dedication and service attitude - I I have never seen such a strong building. According to the employees of Stellar Technology, the freezing center can withstand nuclear explosions, hurricanes and tsunamis. Incredibly, it is simply a doomsday fortress that can withstand nuclear war!”
