Year 20X2, October.
Xing Hai Hospital, Life City No. 1, Northwest Desert of Z country.
Under the attention of hundreds of millions of people, the 500,000th elderly person completed the life-prolonging treatment and successfully returned to the appearance of a young person.
At this point, the large-scale life-prolonging experiment was announced to have ended one year ahead of schedule.
The effect was witnessed by countless people.
Among the 500,000 elderly with an average age of 98.7 years, 499940 succeeded in extending their lives. 60 failed or died of accidents.
The success rate was more than 99.9%.
The failure rate was slightly higher than one in ten thousand. It was claimed to have a 99.99% reliability rate. It was not false publicity.
Almost no one questioned the safety of Xing Hai Hospital's life-prolonging technology. Basically, 100 people were put at ease.
But it still could not avoid the arguments of the contrarians.
"It's probably murder. Dozens of innocent elderly people have died!"
"Xing Hai Technologies should be severely punished by the law."
"These elderly people are genetically modified humans. They are no longer normal humans."
In the face of these noises, Xing Hai Technologies' approach was relatively simple. It was to blacklist the contrarians and not provide them with life-prolonging services.
When some contrarians saw their identity information in the blacklist, they were surprised at how Xing Hai Technologies obtained their personal information. At the same time, they panicked.
"I just said a few words of complaint. Is there a need to be so overbearing?"
"I only gave some advice and pointed out a few problems, and you blacklisted me? Aren't you being too petty? "
"Xing Hai Technologies, I was wrong. Can you remove me from the blacklist? A great man does not hold grudges against a lowly man. Let me go this time. "
They were terrified.
Most of the contrarians who found out that they were blacklisted quickly admitted defeat.
Xing Hai Technologies responded to this, "Hey, don't you like to talk big? Aren't you keyboard warriors? Don't be afraid. The contrarians can live more than 150 years with the power of scolding people. You don't need life-prolonging medical services. Please continue your verbal attacks. "
After such a round of blows.
The number of Xing Hai Technologies' anti-fans on the Internet was significantly reduced. Their tone became much gentler. They no longer dared to speak ill of Xing Hai Technologies.
The large-scale experiment was over.
The ultra-high reliability rate also made people feel at ease.
Therefore, on November 1st, a week later, Xing Hai Hospital's life-prolonging medical services were officially opened for commercial use. People above the age of 75 were allowed to apply.
Ten minutes after the registration channel was opened, the number of reservations exceeded 10 million.
Twelve hours later, the number of reservations had reached 80 million.
A month later, the number of people queuing exceeded 100 million.
However, with the maximum number of beds in Life City No. 1, which had been expanded to three hundred thousand, it could only treat more than 3,280 elderly people every day on average. It would take thirty years for all the patients to be treated.
Life Cities No.2, No.3, No.4, and No.5 would only be activated in three years. At that time, the total number of beds would increase to three million, which would be enough to meet the needs of the domestic life extension market.
However, during the three years of waiting, if one wanted to enjoy life-prolonging medical services, they would have to spend some extra money to take the "express train" or spend money to advance their ranking. Otherwise, even if they were over a hundred years old, they could only wait bitterly.
He was rich.
Xing Hai Technologies was rich.
The average treatment cost for each elderly person was more than one million. Multiplied by 3,280 … Xing Hai Technologies earned more than 3.2 billion every day.
Moreover, this income did not need to be taxed. After deducting all costs, the daily net profit was more than 3 billion yuan.
The speed at which they were making money made all the institutions in the country jealous.
The government also realized that they had fallen into a trap. Xing Hai Technologies had taken advantage of a loophole. They were a little annoyed. However, the agreement had already been signed. According to the spirit of the contract, they could only choose to acquiesce.
On one hand, the number of elderly people dying was decreasing. They were continuously being converted into labor.
On the other hand, in recent years, the country had been vigorously encouraging childbirth. Many places had introduced the "free house for every second child." They had increased the intensity of childbirth subsidies, education subsidies, and child-rearing subsidies. All the expenses for children aged 0 to 18 were covered by the state. If a couple had more than five children, they did not need to go to work. They could support their family just by relying on various subsidies.
If poor families wanted to change their fate, they only needed to have more children. The traditional concern of "saving people is better than saving money." was actually completely feasible in this era.
Therefore, a miracle happened.
The fertility rate rebounded against the trend. A baby boom appeared. The total population finally showed positive growth.
The Z nation took the lead in tackling the problems that the developed countries could not overcome.
Therefore, with multiple favorable factors.
The housing prices in first-tier and second-tier cities could no longer be suppressed.
They began to rise wildly again.
The average price of 80,000, 100,000, and 150,000 per square meter was everywhere. The housing prices in the city centers of a few first-tier cities broke the 200,000 mark.
Domestic high-tech enterprises suddenly suffered. Under the pressure of high housing prices, their burdens increased and they complained incessantly. They considered moving their companies to second-tier and third-tier cities with lower housing prices.
"Xing Hai Technologies is brilliant. They have long anticipated all of this and quickly moved to the desert. We can only continue to pay for the high housing prices," said a corporate boss enviously. He admired Xing Hai Technologies' foresight very much.
It was at this moment.
Xing Hai Technologies suddenly issued an invitation.
"First-class domestic technology enterprises, come to this side of the desert.
Xing Hai Technologies' Technology Cities No. 2, 3, and 4 will soon be completed. You are welcome to come and settle in.
Whether it is the rent for the venue, water, electricity, or other expenses, Xing Hai Technologies will provide them to you at cost price. As long as you come to the Technology City, the burden on your enterprises will be reduced by at least 50%.
If you implement a 'free city' system similar to Xing Hai Technologies', the burden on your enterprises will be reduced by at least 70%.
Profit is the life of a business. If there is no profit, it will be like there is no oxygen in the air. You will soon suffocate to death.
The high housing prices in first-tier and second-tier cities can suffocate any high-tech enterprise. Moving to the Technology City in the Desert is equivalent to having sufficient oxygen and space for development. You will have better flexibility and a stronger vitality.
Moreover, the transportation is now developed. Taking the vacuum high-speed rail from the northwest desert, you can reach Shang Hai, which is more than 3,000 kilometers away, in one hour. Taking the cheap electric passenger plane, you can also reach the developed areas in the east in four hours. Convenient transportation solves the obstacle of distance.
So, come over. The Technology City in the Desert is the most suitable place for you to come to. "
Hearing this seductive voice, she felt her heart tremble.
This …
Many of the leaders of technology enterprises were tempted, but they were also somewhat hesitant.
Hua Yao's Yu Dazhui asked, "Doing this … is not very appropriate. The higher-ups will not be very satisfied."
"What will they be dissatisfied with?"
Chen Jin asked rhetorically. "Big cities are not suitable for the development of high-tech industries. They are not a place for high-tech survival. Will they be happy when the high-tech industry is hollowed out and everyone moves abroad in order to reduce costs? Do they want to follow in the footsteps of the hollowing out of the Merican industry? "
"How to avoid hollowing out and how to maintain the Z nation's technological competitiveness in the long run? There is no other way except to move to the remote desert transformation area like Xing Hai Technologies!
"We are not selfishly pursuing profit! It is for survival. It is to ensure that the Z nation's technology will always be the world's leading! If our painstaking efforts are not supported and understood, and they insist on driving us away … In the end, the ones who will regret it will not be us, but them. "
Hmm …
Yu Dazhui nodded. There were already signs of industry hollowing out in the Z nation, but it did not attract enough attention.
Chen Jin's words immediately dispelled the concerns in his heart. He immediately said, "Okay, Chen Jin. We will think about it a little more. I will give you an answer in the next two days."
"Okay!"
Chen Jin smiled. The second big move that he had been brewing in his heart was released.
