Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 648: School Survey Questionnaire

If there’s really a problem with this batch of power banks in the country.

Then college students will definitely be the first to know.

"The city with the highest number of college students, the most concentrated good universities, and the most difficult college students is definitely the Imperial Capital."

Chen Yiyang said to his assistants, "Find a random excuse, and let some clubs at several famous universities in the Imperial Capital help investigate the usage of power banks among college students."

Most student clubs are very short of funds, and students have a lot of free time.

Chen Yiyang quickly contacted several student clubs.

"I secured some sponsorship."

At Imperial Capital University of Technology, within a student club called Technology Exploration, President Lin Qiu gathered more than a dozen members.

"What kind of sponsorship?" The members’ eyes lit up when they heard.

The science and engineering club is really short of money.

Buy some equipment randomly, purchase some high-tech devices, and tens of thousands of dollars will be gone.

Everyone is a poor student, usually struggling with living expenses, let alone having money to spend on the club.

"A newly established company named Yian is willing to give us fifty thousand yuan to investigate our school’s power bank usage and incidents."

"Just for this task, fifty thousand yuan? Could it be a scam?"

The science and engineering students are relatively skeptical.

They felt this matter seemed unreliable because the money offered was too much.

It’s not that they haven’t helped some companies with surveys before.

But if a student can earn a few hundred yuan for working hard for several days, that’s already pretty good.

And the other party offers fifty thousand yuan upfront?

Fifty thousand, not to mention doing a power bank survey, even rubbing out a batch of power banks would be worth it.

"The money has already been transferred." Lin Qiu directly showed the members the transaction record.

"They gave us twenty thousand first, and after the task is completed, another thirty thousand."

The members believed it now.

With these twenty thousand, they could buy quite a bit of good second-hand stuff for experiments.

Even if the other party didn’t pay the remaining thirty thousand later, the twenty thousand would already be sufficient.

So the whole club immediately got busy, starting to investigate the power bank usage in the school.

In less than three days, a questionnaire was completed.

"Most students here primarily use power banks from Mule World and Rice. Students in their sophomore year and above haven’t heard of any incidents with their power banks.

However, the freshmen who just entered this year have already experienced two self-combustion incidents, and both involve power banks from Mule World."

Lin Qiu looked at the intelligence gathered by the members and felt something was amiss.

"Why are only the freshmen’s power banks combusting?!"

"Perhaps the freshmen use power banks improperly." Some members answered nonchalantly.

"No, no." Lin Qiu directly said, "Nowadays, various safety coefficients of power banks are already very high. I haven’t heard of power bank self-combustion for years.

And indeed, no combustion incidents have occurred around us older students.

Why would the freshmen’s power banks combust? Could there be a problem with the freshmen’s dormitory?"

Listening to President Lin Qiu’s words, the members felt there was indeed something in them.

They compared all the recorded background information during the investigation.

First, external environments were ruled out.

The freshmen’s dormitories, voltage, and the school’s power-limiting policies having no difference compared to older students.

Furthermore, the freshmen also use power banks from big brands; there are no issues with fake brands.

"There is another possibility." A member spoke, "The freshmen might have bought counterfeit power banks."

"But I asked, the power bank that combusted was bought by the freshmen from the official store.

After the self-combustion, the customer service immediately sent a new one to them without a word and even gave them a coupon."

"That’s where the problem lies." Lin Qiu caught the key point.

"If the customer service finds reasons not to issue a refund, I would find it normal, fitting the ethics level of our domestic manufacturers.

Once there’s a problem with products, they demand substantial evidence before choosing to return or refund.

But this time, after the accident, the freshman just mentioned the self-combustion to the customer service, and they immediately replaced it, without needing a photo or video. What does this say?"

"It means the customer service was pre-trained, and whenever someone approached them about self-combustion issues, they immediately agreed to the refund requests without causing difficulties." A member answered.

"Exactly." Lin Qiu snapped his fingers, "That also implies that these manufacturers actually know there’s a problem with their latest batch of goods. But they don’t want to publicly recall them, so they have to use this way to suppress the news?"

"The sample size is too small." The members were somewhat troubled, "We only found three instances of self-combustion. Publicly accusing these big brands of having problems with their power banks could cause trouble."

"Let’s do this." Lin Qiu said, "I have high school classmates at Tsinghua and other universities, I’ll contact them to see if they can help investigate if there are any self-combustion incidents with power banks inside their schools."

"President, should we send the survey we collected to that Yian company?" A member asked.

"Send it to them first; I have a feeling this company named Yian isn’t that simple."

After Lin Qiu sent the compiled survey to the Yian company employee he was coordinating with.

The other party didn’t inquire much about the survey results, instead, they promptly transferred the remaining thirty thousand yuan.

This made Lin Qiu feel even more that Yian must have some issues.

But before he could figure out the connections.

His classmates from various universities sent him messages.

Aside from Imperial Capital University of Technology, all the notable 211 and 985 universities in the Imperial Capital received Yian’s survey assignment, priced similarly at fifty thousand.

These survey contents were naturally shared and compiled among the club presidents.

Then they realized that in just half a year, every school had at least two or three incidents of power banks combusting in the dormitories.

These power banks were predominantly from the Mule World brand, and the incidents mainly occurred in freshman dormitories.

Occasional combustion incidents in dormitories of students in their sophomore year and above were due to these students having replaced their power banks.

Now the presidents of various school clubs could finally confirm.

There’s definitely a problem with a batch of power banks from Mule World.

They immediately reported this situation to the teachers.

The teachers at various schools broke out in cold sweat upon seeing the results of the students’ investigations.
