Chapter 215: What Is the Difference Between a Free Fund and Charity?

Although he only has tens of thousands of yuan of living expenses every month, Huang Xiaoming, a luxury helmet of 188,000 yuan, is not unaffordable, and he also has a black gold bank card for emergency use in his wallet.

So he opened his mouth and said, "What's the difference between the deluxe version and the regular version?" ”

"Yes, the lining and internal structure of the two helmets are the same, and the main difference is in the helmet shell." The receptionist lady explained in detail: "The ordinary version is made of titanium alloy, and the deluxe version is made of carbon fiber, so the deluxe version is 157 grams lighter than the ordinary version, and the deluxe version supports self-selected patterns, and we will use a special engraving machine to help you draw the selected pattern on the helmet shell." ”

After waiting for a while, but there was no follow-up, Huang Xiaoming asked puzzledly: "That's all?" Doesn't it mean that the Deluxe Edition is more realistic? ”

The receptionist lady is obviously used to this problem: "Sir, it needs to be noted that in fact, our helmet is only a sleep aid device, which only has sleep assistance functions such as correcting sleeping posture, sound insulation and heat dissipation, etc., and does not have the virtual reality function that is rumored on the Internet, so the so-called realism is naturally impossible to talk about." ”

What's going on? So decisive, so clear?

Could it really be just concept marketing? Follow the trend online to deceive people? But why are so many people queuing up to buy helmets?

That's it, I don't want to! Dad often said that a man should be decisive when he does things, and he will lose 190,000 yuan, and he will be deceived if he is cheated!

So Huang Xiaoming spoke: "Then buy the deluxe version!" ”

"Sir, please ......come with me," the receptionist gestured to the young lady.

Following her, after paying by card at the payment office on the side, Huang Xiaoming was guided to a computer-like machine.

The receptionist lady introduced: "Please provide my ID card, and provide my fingerprints entered in the Public Security Bureau when applying for my ID card, and compare, our side is directly connected to the Ministry of Public Security." ”

Buying a helmet so strict? If it is really a sleep aid device, it will definitely not confirm any identity, this must be the real-name authentication of the virtual reality headset!

If you do anything out of the ordinary in the virtual reality world in the future, the country will find you in a flash! Surely, yes!

Huang Xiaoming had no shame in his heart, so he naturally handed over his ID card frankly and confirmed his fingerprints on a fingerprint reader.

After the identity was entered, Huang Xiaoming was taken to another computer-like machine, and in front of him was a metal plate 30 centimeters square.

The staff on the opposite side said: "That's right, our helmet is dedicated to special people, and the switch of the helmet uses a fingerprint recognition switch, which hand are you generally used to operating?" Is it left-handed? ”

"No, right hand." Huang Xiaoming said directly.

"Okay, please use the wipes provided here to wipe your right hand clean, and then place the whole palm of your hand on this collection plate." The staff member pointed to the wet wipes box next to it.

Huang Xiaoming took out a packet, opened it and wiped his right hand, then pressed his palm on the silver-white collection board.

"Tick".

The machine over there rang.

"Please put it again."

Huang Xiaoming raised his hand and let it go again.

"Tick"

The machine smacked again.

"Alright, now that you're done, you can use any finger of your right hand to turn on and off our helmet. Okay, please go this way. ”

Following the young lady again, Huang Xiaoming was taken to the front of a small silver-white metal house more than two meters high and one and a half meters long and wide.

The door of the small silver-white metal house opened, and a person in front of Huang Xiaoming walked out and went to the next place under the guidance of another receptionist.

The receptionist lady gave a guide: "Please come and sit down here, and we will do some basic tests." ”

Test? What test? Where do ordinary sleep aids need to be tested?

Although his heart was full of complaints, Huang Xiaoming still walked in as he said and sat on a silver-white metal chair without armrests.

"Tick"

The door closed, and the room was plunged into total darkness.

"Tick"

Several red rays of light lit up, and after sweeping quickly over Huang Xiaoming's body, they concentrated on his head.

What's going on? How is it as if you are being pointed at the head by the infrared sights of a hundred sniper rifles?

"Tick"

A gentle female voice with an electromagnetic murmur, which had obviously been recorded before, rang out: "Dear customer, please don't worry, start testing now." ”

"Tick"

The voice rang out again: "Dear customer, please think about some happy things." ”

Happy and happy things? Of course, it's a small escape to kill all the way to the end, and survive to eat chicken......

Ten seconds later.

"Tick"

"Dear customer, please recall some sad things."

……

After being tested for more than a dozen emotions, the hatch opened, and Huang Xiaoming walked out of the small test room.

What the hell is this test? Do I need to test my mood when I buy a sleep aid? You're not matching my brainwaves!

In this case, you must be selling virtual reality headsets! Why don't you admit it? Does the state have any concerns?

The operator who controlled the machine over there nodded to the receptionist and handed over a list.

The receptionist took the order, turned back to Huang Xiaoming and said, "Okay, the collection work and testing work are completed, please follow me." ”

This time, I came to a machine that looked like a computer, but the computer screen was facing Huang Xiaoming.

The receptionist lady introduced: "Since you choose the carbon fiber 97 luxury version of the helmet, you can customize the pattern, you can choose here." ”

This is a touch screen with options for various patterns next to it, with stripes of various colors, spots of various shapes, with curves of various types, and the base color of the helmet is pure black.

After trying for a while, the results were not satisfactory, Huang Xiaoming waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't want a pattern, just give me a pure black one." ”

"Oh, okay." Retrieved the order from the pattern operator over there, the receptionist said, "Then please follow me." ”

Finally, they came to the last machine, and another young lady in a knee-length skirt took the order and handed it to a window behind her.

After a while, a black and white helmet box was sent out of the small window.

Opening the box, the young lady took out a pure black helmet full of technological beauty.

After a little inspection, it was put into a boxy, silvery-white, microwave-like machine that was half a meter long, wide and high.

Then, she pressed it on a very complex panel.

Although the machine resembles a large microwave oven, its surface is not transparent, but is in a ring with rectangular lights.

After pressing the button, the young lady clicked on something, and the rectangular lights lit up, and then turned from red to blue one by one, and finally all turned blue, and then went out all at once.

The machine door opened, the young lady took out the helmet, opened a pack of wet wipes and wiped it clean, and handed it to Huang Xiaoming: "Sir, you can check it to see if there are any flaws." ”

Huang Xiaoming didn't understand this, so he checked it a little and saw that the surface was smooth, so he handed the helmet back.

The young lady took the helmet, put it in the box, and then handed it back to Huang Xiaoming: "Sir, your helmet is ready." ”

"That's the end of it?" Huang Xiaoming looked at the receptionist who had been leading him next to him.

"There's one last step." The receptionist lady led Huang Xiaoming forward and said, "You also need to go through the relevant procedures of the Good Dream Fund." ”

"What good dream fund?" Huang Xiaoming was puzzled.

The receptionist explained in detail: "That's right, our company is developing the next generation of sleep aid equipment, we call it the Red Star 99 sleep pod." A part of the profits from each customer's purchase of helmets will be invested in research and development, and this part of the invested funds is the Good Dream Fund. ”

"If you buy an ordinary helmet, it will contribute 500 yuan to our good dream fund, and the deluxe version is 5000 yuan, of course, you can also subscribe to a certain number of good dream funds by yourself, and contribute to the research and development of our Red Star brand 99 sleep cabin, and contribute to the cause of human dreams!"

"This dedication...... Is it gratuitous? Huang Xiaoming understood some of the meaning.

"Yes." The receptionist nodded.

"Oh, forget it." Huang Xiaoming waved his hand: "I won't dedicate it." ”

"No, since you have already purchased our luxury version of the helmet, you have already contributed 5,000 yuan to the Good Dream Fund." The receptionist lady was still smiling: "You will get a Good Dream Fund contribution card." ”

Finally, the two of them came to a counter, and a small silvery-white, slightly heavy, metal-like box was handed over.

"Sir, this is your good dream fund contribution card, you can recharge the fund in this card through online banking, payment bustard, Vixin payment and other functions, and contribute to the cause of our human dreams!" The receptionist lady bowed slightly.

This time it was really over, Huang Xiaoming walked out of the store from the door on the other side and began to wait for Yifan and Yi Feng.

Of course, he was not idle during the waiting time, opened the small silver-white box and began to check.

The contents are very simple, a booklet introducing the "Good Dream Fund", a silver-white, unknown metal, small card the size of a bank card, and the card is also engraved with this line of metal numeric alphabet code.

This "good dream fund", this card, and that sleeping pod, is it ......

At this time, Yifan and Yi Feng also walked out one after another, but the box they were holding was red and white, and it was clearly written on it, it was a titanium alloy 95 ordinary version.

"Huh? Yi Feng, didn't you say you wouldn't buy it? Huang Xiaoming laughed.

"After such a long queue, wouldn't it be a loss if you didn't buy it?" Yi Feng didn't mean to be ashamed at all: "Anyway, I don't have much money." ”

"It's so late, go back to the dormitory door is closed, find a hotel to stay for one night." The proposal is Yifan, who looks extremely weak, speaks weakly, and looks like he will fall to the ground at any moment.

Naturally, the others had no objections, and the three of them walked towards the Lilac Hotel not far away.
