Chapter 592: It Also Has Healing Effects?

When they heard that the Comrade directly demanded fifty electric heating blankets, several of them were a bit surprised, their first reaction being that the Comrade was pulling a fast one on them.

One person buying fifty electric heating blankets—not to mention it would cost over two hundred yuan—where would they even spread them?

But seeing the other's serious gaze, Lu Cheng quickly thought of something.

"Are you purchasing on behalf of a unit? Giving welfare to employees?"

Beyond that possibility, Lu Cheng couldn't think of any other, though he wondered what kind of unit would be so extravagant as to procure so many electric heating blankets at once.

That unit's employee benefits must be excellent; even the well‑paid Railway department doesn't offer such lavish perks.

"You're half right. I am purchasing for a unit, but not for employee welfare—it's for our hospital's patients."

"For patients?" Lu Cheng was a bit puzzled, thinking which hospital had such good benefits, guessing perhaps it's for a special ward for cadres, since some hospitals previously lacked heating.

But it wasn't what Lu Cheng imagined; the Comrade replied, "Yes, we are preparing to purchase a batch of electric heating blankets to treat patients."

Upon hearing this, even Lu Ying began to feel doubtful.

"Electric heating blankets can treat illnesses?"

As the Factory Director, how could she not know that electric heating blankets have such an effect?

"Oh, they're used to assist in treating certain special ailments. By means of the blanket's thermotherapy, they can help alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, back and leg pain, nephritis, and some gynecological conditions.

Primarily they improve local blood circulation, providing physical support to patients when medication is limited.

They can also be used in operating rooms or wards to prevent patients' body temperature from dropping too low."

The Comrade rattled off many points in one breath, making the three of them nod, amazed at so many claimed benefits.

Lu Ying felt as if she had discovered a new continent, and began to ponder inside.

She hadn't expected electric heating blankets to truly have healing effects; if this got publicized, they'd sell like hotcakes.

"You, are you serious?"

The Comrade stepped back a pace, looking at Lu Ying and saying, "You little Comrade, why would I waste my time telling you such a joke?"

"I really need fifty; we'll test the effect first. If it works, we'll purchase more later, including for subordinate hospitals."

Lu Ying inhaled, this was a huge order, so she hurriedly said,

"No problem. The Factory Area is currently fast‑tracking production; for fifty, we can deliver them tomorrow."

The Comrade nodded, "Alright, timing's fine. Could you sell me two first? I want to take them back for the Dean to see."

Lu Ying was about to speak when Lu Cheng cut in, "Sure, of course, but my electric heating blankets are ten yuan each."

The Comrade was taken aback, "How did it become ten? We originally planned to buy from the Friendship Store because the price was too high; we heard you also produce electric heating blankets, selling them at five yuan each.

And I just tested the effect; it's no different from the Friendship Store's, which is why I'm willing to purchase from you."

This is a major client, so Lu Ying naturally had to treat them well.

"Lu Cheng, you're engaging in speculative profiteering, stop messing around… Sorry, Comrade, we really are five yuan each."

Lu Cheng was displeased: "Who's speculating? Why don't you say you were just a robber a moment ago! Need a Comrade?"

They really do sell them for five yuan each, but we're out of stock now. If you want two right now to take back and look at, mine are ten yuan each.

Lu Cheng gauged the hospital Comrade's anxious mindset accurately.

Seeing the hospital procurement Comrade a bit embarrassed, Lu Ying, beyond words of helplessness, looked at her brother and said,

"Then I'll return the money and sell them to them at the original price of five yuan each."

Lu Cheng clutched the electric heating blankets, "Too late, I don't want them!"

"You… you're asking for a beating again, aren't you! Hand them back quickly."

"No return. You just said I paid, so the electric heating blanket is mine. Binzi, you have to testify."

Zhao Bin dared not get involved; one was a good buddy, the other a superior: "I—I don't know anything."

Seeing the few people start arguing, the Comrade grew more urgent and had no time to linger.

"Fine, fine, ten yuan it is. It's still cheaper than the Friendship Store. I'll buy two from this little Comrade now, and later price the rest at five yuan each."

【5】 For such a huge order, Lu Ying felt rather guilty, but her brother clutched the two blankets tightly and wouldn't let go, making her stare furiously.

The order was so huge, Lu Ying felt rather guilty about it, but her younger brother clutched the two Electric Heating Blankets and wouldn't let go, which made her so angry she stared with her eyes bulging.

Staring did no good; Lu Cheng gladly took the twenty yuan and finally handed the blankets to the procurement Comrade.

"Ah, money comes fast this way. In a flash I got my capital back and earned ten yuan; where can anyone argue with that!"

Seeing her brother's smug look, Lu Ying, angry, gave him a kick.

"No time to argue with you! Zhao Bin, go fetch a red sheet and write down our electric heating blankets' healing effects, then paste it at the entrance."

Lu Ying is a very proactive person; since the blankets have this benefit, it must be displayed.

Zhao Bin went to do it immediately; when he brought the red paper, he anxiously asked, "Will it really have a healing effect? What if people say we're falsifying?"

Lu Cheng couldn't stand watching any longer; ever since Zhao Bin got married, he's become increasingly timid.

"You know nothing, this is what the hospital's procurement Comrade said with his own mouth; there's nothing more authoritative than a hospital. Do it however you like."

Zhao Bin dared not speak further, hurriedly wrote it on the red paper, and then posted it at the shop's entrance.

Unexpectedly, once posted, it attracted onlookers.

"Electric heating blankets? They can treat rheumatism? This thing is so good—my spouse at home has rheumatism…"

The muttering Comrade wanted to go inside the shop to ask.

Seeing many more people inquiring about the blankets, Lu Ying originally intended to return to the Factory Area to get more.

But she suddenly recalled her brother's Hunger Marketing, and restrained herself; the more this moment arrives, the less she could rush.

"Sorry, comrades, raw material supplies are tight right now, production isn't that fast. If you want them, I'll do my best to expedite the materials and aim to have them produced in two days…"

The onlookers were understandably a bit disappointed, but most were anxious, fearing that tight raw materials would limit the number of blankets produced, and others would buy them up.

Seeing everyone's concerns, Lu Ying happily continued, "If you're worried about not getting any, you can pre‑pay a portion as a deposit, and we'll reserve them for you."

Pre‑sale? Watching his sister's move, Lu Cheng was both amused and exasperated; this is a common tactic many modern enterprises use to hedge cost risk, especially in real estate.

Of course, his sister wasn't avoiding financial risk at all; she was simply creating a sense of scarcity.

Anyway the shop is right here, so everyone doesn't have to worry about it disappearing; many people are afraid they won't be able to buy and are willing to pay part of a deposit.

Selling goods is all about mindset, and Lu Cheng watches his sister's growth in this area accelerate.

Only Zhao Bin is regressing more and more!

As his sister's future aide, Lu Cheng decides to give a proper lesson: "Binzi, come, come, come, let me talk to you…"
