"That said, there's one thing we must remind everyone: this is an aesthetic medical service. It only handles the rejuvenation of appearance and does not actually affect lifespan.
It's not that after you've been rejuvenated,
you'll gain decades more life.
And after rejuvenation, your ID card and other documents might become quite troublesome to manage. So, we advise everyone to proceed with caution. It's best to go to your local household registration department beforehand to make a record, to avoid complications later!"
To prevent any future disputes, the staff responsible for their sector quickly appeared in the live broadcast to explain the potential issues. This was to stop people from making rash decisions.
And then facing all sorts of troubles and finding it bothersome.
However, this minor inconvenience couldn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm for rejuvenation. After all, most people in this world diligently apply products to their faces daily, all for the sake of beauty and delaying their own aging.
Now, with a way to achieve rejuvenation that is supposedly better than plastic surgery and safer, who wouldn't be tempted?
Besides, ten thousand yuan isn't expensive.
Even if it requires an annual treatment, most people could afford it with gritted teeth, let alone the fact that the effect lasts more than a year, and you'll only age like you normally would in your youth.
This is much more cost-effective than cosmetic surgery or buying anti-aging skincare products.
As a result, it wasn't long before, to be precise, less than twelve hours, Ding Yun's first batch of fully comprehensive medical aesthetic centers was swamped. Many who were slow to react, or simply couldn't travel fast enough, like patients with cancer and cerebral thrombosis, couldn't get in and had to register for a waiting list.
Major medical institutions and aesthetic medical institutions also began contacting Ding Yun, inquiring about purchasing the equipment.
Fortunately, the core of the treatment cabin isn't the cabin itself, but the cellular-level robots. Once these cellular-level robots are created and provided with sufficient energy, they can divide as much as needed, anytime, anywhere. Therefore, Ding Yun accepted all requests from various institutions for equipment orders, with the only condition being that they must set up a "Natural Beauty Medical Special Zone" within their own facilities and clearly state the origin of the medical equipment.
Additionally, Ding Yun proposed two methods.
The first is to purchase outright. After the purchase, Ding Yun would only provide the nutrient solution and no further intervention. The pricing would be up to each institution.
The second is that Ding Yun provides the equipment, and they provide the location.
The price must be consistent with Ding Yun's fully comprehensive medical aesthetic centers, and the profits would be split fifty-fifty.
The former involves spending thirty million yuan for a set of equipment to gain pricing freedom, while the latter essentially means earning money by providing a location. Faced with these choices, almost no one chose the first option; everyone unanimously opted for the second.
This is because the people at those institutions weren't foolish. They clearly understood that even with pricing freedom, they could at most earn quick money, and only during the period before treatment cabins become widely available and people can't get appointments.
During profitable times, they would also be criticized for being greedy, with prices much higher than Ding Yun's comprehensive medical aesthetic centers.
Once the technology is fully popularized,
it would be questionable if they could even recoup the thirty million yuan cost.
Rather than go through all that trouble, it would be better to provide a location for a few sets of free machines, and then it would be pure profit.
Profit that is guaranteed with no loss.
And this was precisely Ding Yun's goal. Ding Yun's core objective was never to make money, but to expand her influence and capture market share. Now, with her providing the equipment and others providing the location and service staff, the promotion and spread of the treatment cabins accelerated by hundreds or even thousands of times.
Isn't this faster than opening directly managed stores one by one?
The most crucial point is that she is different from other franchise businesses; she doesn't have to worry about franchise stores compromising her reputation by cutting corners because all her treatment cabins are pre-programmed. Furthermore, her headquarters can monitor and review the treatment data of all treatment cabins.
There's no fear of anyone cutting corners or causing trouble.
Within a month, Ding Yun's treatment cabins had sprung up everywhere across the country. Any hospital or aesthetic medical institution that didn't have Ding Yun's treatment cabins saw no visitors. However, this also brought about another serious problem.
That is, a large number of people went to household registration departments to make records and change their ID cards, imposing an immense workload on the staff. The entire country was nearly overwhelmed. If it weren't for the fingerprint recognition feature on the new generation of ID cards,
it would likely have been even more troublesome.
Of course, these are just the initial problems. Later, when entire generations of a family all look young, and the older ones are called "young grandma" by their younger relatives, that's a whole other issue. It's quite a touch of magical realism.
Additionally, there are many subsequent issues and impacts, such as the cure of numerous age-related diseases and a significant increase in the national average lifespan, which will gradually emerge over the next few years.
But overall, most people were happy. Those who were sick rejoiced at their recovery, those who wanted to be beautiful and young rejoiced at their transformation, and there were hardly any side effects. Those who wanted to lose weight were delighted by their rapid slimming. As for minor inconveniences and awkwardness,
in the face of good health and rejuvenation,
they were insignificant and harmless.
Once the relevant news spread abroad, it wasn't Ding Yun desperately trying to push her products for sale, but rather people from abroad knocking on her door, begging Ding Yun to sell to them.
As for those major daily chemical giants,
currently, only their overseas sales are barely holding on. Domestically, they are almost on the verge of collapse. The one that argued with the original owner back then has already gone bankrupt.
At least it has been forced to withdraw from the domestic market.
It can only sell a little in places abroad where treatment cabins aren't yet available, barely managing to survive.
To hasten the demise of those major daily chemical giants, Ding Yun did not deliberately make things difficult. She didn't even significantly raise the price when selling the treatment cabins, but she added a note: do not attempt to research or damage the internal cellular-level robots. Any unauthorized research or damage would cause the robots within the entire cabin to self-destruct, and the company would bear no responsibility.
Then, her treatment cabins didn't just blossom across the country but bloomed globally. The difference was that most foreign entities chose to purchase directly rather than sign the second type of cooperation agreement. This was because they were confident that Ding Yun's directly managed stores wouldn't easily open in their regions, and gaining pricing power would be more beneficial for them to earn greater profits.
Additionally, many individuals purchased a few sets for personal use.
Although the process was still met with obstruction attempts by the major daily chemical conglomerates, and even pharmaceutical giants joined in the obstruction efforts, the allure of rejuvenation and the treatment of most terminal illnesses was too great. It was a necessity to the point of being irresistible. In the absence of alternatives from the daily chemical and pharmaceutical giants, public demand could not be contained.
Ultimately, they were crushed by the surging public opinion.
Concurrently, Ding Yun's Natural Beauty Group became renowned across the world for the first time. Although it might still be a bit short of being etched into history, victory was clearly within reach.
