Chapter 174 174: Money Grubbing Goblin.


Leo and Snow arrived at the convention center in the middle of the city where mostly all the big events were held and Percie Hibiscal greeted them at the gates of the center.

She sighed and said, "Everyone is ready. Are you ready, Sir?"

Leo looked at Percie Hibiscal and said, "Are you nervous, Percie?"

The lady sighed and said, "Had you told me that you acquired Evergreen Hospital Network, and that they would be coming over to sign the deal today, I would have been prepared."

Snow recalled the young man had received the call for the contract signing late yesterday night. She took a deep breath and said, "Well, we should discuss the shock later, but first, let us get inside. I am sure the press would be getting uneasy."

Percie nodded and the people all went inside one of the dozen halls that were built here by the government for the businessmen to hold conferences. The price was cheaper than the Five star hotels scattered all over the city.

After a few minutes, they came backstage where a few people from the PR team were dealing with various things. Percie said, "It was getting harder for me to handle things in Public relations, so I created a new team. This young man is the director of the Public Relations department. Mathew, come over, this is President Leo Cardinal and CFO, Snow Cardinal."

The young man walked over quickly while adjusting his glasses and hurriedly shook hands with Leo and Snow. He said, "I apologize for cutting the introduction short, Sir, but it would be nice if you handle the press right away. They have been warmed up by the others in the department."

Leo looked at his watch and realized that indeed they had cut it a bit too short. Although his brief has been memorized by him on the way here as Snow drove the car, he still asked, "Do I really need to stick with the content your team wrote for the release?"

Mathew chuckled and shook his head as he said, "Sir, you have complete control on how you wish to direct the conference. The brief was just for you to stick to some basic highlights. The people would like it if you can highlight the features in a more relatable manner."

Leo nodded, before he pecked Snow on the cheek and walked onto the stage. The PR department host that was on the stage quickly stopped speaking and backed off.

Leo smiled at her and then he turned to face the press as he said, "All of you must be thinking who I am? Did I come up here to drag onto the warm up act? Well, not actually. Hello friends, I am Leo Cardinal, the President of Butterfly Technologies."

The people fell silent and then all of a sudden, the cameras started flashing and pictures were taken. It was all done in a few moments, and Leo said, "Guys, if you all exploit the flash that much, I will be flying in blind."

The cameramen chuckled and they stopped. Leo rubbed his eyes a little and said, "Let me introduce the product to you guys before we take questions. Alright?"

Then a PR team member came over the stage with a robot rolling behind it. The people were curious, and Leo nodded at the PR team member and said, "Rollie, where is your body?"

A mechanical voice replied to him, "Ummm, well boss, I think they forgot to load me on the body."

The reporters chuckled, and then another PR team member came over with a small cylindrical unit that had a few wheels attached to it. Then he picked up the sphere from the ground and placed it on top of the cylindrical unit.

Surprisingly, the sphere didn't nest in the cylindrical unit but it simply hovered above it. Leo said, "How are you feeling now?"

The bot replied, "Not so rollie now, Boss. Thank you."

Leo smiled and said, "Ladies and Gents, this little cheeky fellow is the Butterfly Technologies latest product that specializes in health assistance. He is loaded with over thousand medical symptom identifying protocols. Various sensors that monitor your body temperature, heart beat, and calorie intake.

More importantly, it can even treat simple injuries like scraped knees and elbows completely without any intervention from humans.

The device has been tested by the veteran doctors all over the world and most importantly, it has already been used in the Evergreen Hospital's emergency departments to provide the patients with a preliminary screening and diagnosing the vital parameters…"

Then he went on for an hour to describe the hardware followed by a few videos that displayed how the bot worked. The re
