Chapter 751 - Build Up the Popularity of the Desert Cistanche!
Under the impetus of Yang Ningyuan and Li Qihua, the news that the two companies had announced the merger soon made the headlines of commercial news.
Of course, it directly made it into the top 10 of the trending topics of Weibo.
Although they paid someone to heat up the topic, the matter of the Siqi Pharmaceutical Company and Taikang Pharmaceutical Company had really caused a great reaction. As soon as the news of the merger of the two companies came up, it immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.
After all, everyone was waiting to see what would happen next.
After being acquired, would they be able to make a comeback?
However, after hearing the news of the merger, all the netizens were shocked.
“Merged?”
“It’s good for them to merge! The two major financial groups are working together.”
“Li Qihua and Yang Ningyuan, a first-rate rich man and a rich man... With such an alliance, I think they have the ambition to rule the pharmaceutical world.”
“Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation? This name sounds quite awesome, but I wonder how the product is. If it is still the same as Siqi and Taikang, this company won’t be so successful even with the support of the Tianqi Group and the Zhiyuan Group.”
“Not only did they merge, but they also launched a new medicine. Everyone, go to its official website to check it out.”
Although most of the people were not in the mood to see the new medicine, there was still a small minority of people who were particularly curious and went to take a look at the official website of Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation.
After entering the official website, the first thing that caught the eye was a photo of Desert Cistanche.
“Desert Cistanche!”
“One of the nine magic herbs in Daoism!”
Upon seeing this, all the people who looked at the official website became even more curious.
Many people also went to search on Baidu.
It turned out that Desert Cistanche was really one of the nine magic herbs in Daoism. Moreover, it was also a very precious Chinese medicinal herb. It could only be cultivated in the desert of Beijiang. However, it often got stolen by people, so the production of Desert Cistanche was always in short supply and the price was also raised quite high.
After learning the value of Desert Cistanche, people felt that it was not bad.
What kind of medicine could Desert Cistanche help to make?
Everyone continued to read.
A brand new photo appeared below several photos of Desert Cistanche.
In this photo, there was a single bottle, a box, and a big gift box of a kind of pill.
There were several big words written on the photo—Trillium Root-Securing Pill!
“Wow, this name sounds awesome.”
“Trillium? Does it mean longevity?”
“Can people live a few more days after taking this medicine? Haha.”
“It’s the first time I’ve heard the name of this kind of medicine. This name is fabulous. Isn’t it better to just name it Immortal Pill?”
As people were teasing, they began to take a look at the introduction of the Trillium Root-Securing Pill.
The introduction was written according to the effect of the formula given by Fang Qiu. In addition, there were some modifications added, which made the introduction look incredible. Everyone was confused while reading it.
“If there is really such an effect as described in the introduction, it is likely to prolong one’s life.”
“To put it simply, doesn’t it just mean that it is good for the body and the five internal organs?”
“It sounds so incredible. Why do I feel that by taking this pill, I can become an immortal?”
“Does it mean that if you take this medicine, you will definitely be in good health and will not get sick?”
“Is it so magical?”
“Why do I feel like I’m watching TV Shopping?”
In the midst of the discussion, they found that there were no pictures below. All that was there was two large words—Coming soon!
The news about the Desert Cistanche and Trillium Root-Securing Pill was soon spread on Weibo, attracting more people’s attention and generating heated discussions.
“Desert Cistanche is indeed a very good Chinese medicinal herb. After these two companies merged into one, they directly chose to use precious herbs to process medicine. It seems that they want to take this opportunity to make a name for the company in one fell swoop.”
“Nine magic herbs in Daoism? Why does it sound so familiar?”
“I know nine magic herbs in Daoism. Tianshan Snow Lotus is also one of them. I heard that the nine magic herbs are all very precious.”
“I remember that when the incident of a woman kneeling in front of UJCM happened, Fang Qiu seemed to say that the days when he disappeared, he went to cultivate a kind of medicine, which was one of the 10 ancient magic herbs. It can’t be Desert Cistanche, can it?”
“Among the 10 ancient magic herbs, there seems to be Desert Cistanche as well.”
“Does the Desert Cistanche of Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation have something to do with Fang Qiu?”
“Both Siqi and Taikang have been exposed by Fang Qiu as having an issue with their medicine quality, and these two companies ended up being acquired because they slandered Fang Qiu. What’s more, the one who purchased these two companies happened to be Yang Ningyuan, a rich man who has a connection with Fang Qiu. Now the two companies are united into one, and the main product is one of the magic herbs. It is very likely to be the same as the magic herb that Fang Qiu has publicized before.”
“Connecting the dots... Why do I feel that it has something to do with Fang Qiu?”
During the heated discussion, some netizens actually connected Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation with Fang Qiu.
However, they would never just sit there suspecting but do nothing.
While having a heated discussion, many kind netizens immediately began to investigate the registration of Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation, its detailed background, shareholders and employees, and so on.
Soon, all the relevant information about Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation had been investigated and put on the Internet.
As people looked at it, they found that Fang Qiu was not on the name list of Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical’s shareholders and staff members at all. Looking at it carefully again, they found that there was no one related to Fang Qiu on the list.
“Eh? How come he isn’t on there?”
“Could it be that Fang Qiu is helping with the purchase of medicine?”
“It’s impossible that it has nothing to do with Fang Qiu. Li Qihua and Yang Ningyuan have never been involved in the pharmaceutical industry before. None of the people they know practice Chinese Medicine except for Fang Qiu. I think this matter must have something to do with Fang Qiu.”
“I don’t care if it has anything to do with Fang Qiu. Anyway, Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation has managed to attract my attention. I’m really looking forward to it. Is the effect of this Trillium Root-Securing Pill as good as what they said? Don’t become the second Siqi Pharmaceutical Company.”
“That’s right. If the effect of the medicine is as great as they said, it will be amazing!”
As people were having a heated discussion, the price of Desert Cistanche on the market rose rapidly soon because of the heat of this matter. That was because before this, almost no one paid any attention to Chinese medicinal herbs. Very few people knew that Desert Cistanche was one of the top 10 ancient magic herbs and one of the nine magic herbs in Daoism and so on. After this incident, people spontaneously searched it and found that the efficacy of Desert Cistanche was really powerful. For a moment, people who happened to have such symptoms were ready to buy some. Many of them had already placed an order.
In this case, there was no doubt that Desert Cistanche was very much in vogue all over the country.
Many merchants were beginning to accumulate goods.
There were also numerous manufacturers that used Desert Cistanche to make medicine. They came out one after another to make a name for themselves, claiming that the Desert Cistanche they used was the same as that of Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation, which was better than that of the market.
In the office on the top floor of the building of the former Siqi Pharmaceutical Company in the capital, Yang Ningyuan and Li Qihua were sitting and drinking tea as they saw Desert Cistanche trending on the Internet.
“It’s almost time. Have them send it,” Li Qihua said.
“Yes.”
Yang Ningyuan nodded and said, “This is the first time that I have done something like pushing something to make it a trending myself. Unfortunately, I can’t mention Fang Qiu’s name. Otherwise, even if I don’t buy what is trending, this matter will definitely be more popular than now.”
“Let’s not mention Fang Qiu. When the effect of the medicine comes out, we will be able to make a name for Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation so that it can have a solid foundation in the pharmaceutical business and we will not be regarded as laymen,” Li Qihua said with a smile.
“Yeah.”
Yang Ningyuan nodded, went to the desk, picked up the phone, and said, “Post it.”
After that, he hung up the phone.
After a while, Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical’s official Weibo account was officially registered and verified, and then it immediately posted its first Weibo.
“The Desert Cistanche that my company uses is not any of the ones that can be bought on the market. Instead, it has been cultivated in a brand new way. Its medicinal properties are unchanged, and its efficacy is more than 10 times that of normal Desert Cistanche, which is a super Desert Cistanche. Any company that claims they are affiliated with our company or uses the same Desert Cistanche as our company is a fraud. We hereby certify that we have exclusive rights to use this Desert Cistanche.”
As soon as this Weibo was posted, it immediately suppressed the uproar of the Desert Cistanche on the Internet.
“It’s exclusive?”
“I knew it. How could an ordinary Desert Cistanche have such a good effect?”
“A newly-cultivated super Desert Cistanche with 10 times the normal effect? No wonder these two rich men are working together. They can really put in a lot of money!”
“That is to say, the effect of ordinary Desert Cistanche isn’t that good?”
Not long after, as Desert Cistanche’s popularity was suppressed, the price of Desert Cistanche, which had just risen on the market, quickly dropped.
Under these circumstances, many of the merchants who were collecting their goods started to curse.
Some people were complaining everywhere because they didn’t know how to deal with it. They had stored too much Desert Cistanche.
“10 times? How is that possible?”
“10 times the effect of the drug? Can they really do that? If it’s 10 times the effect of the previous drug, what’s the point of making it into medicine? Just sell Desert Cistanche directly!”
“You’re so good at fooling people. There is no such thing as Desert Cistanche with 10 times the effect. I’d like to see how you’re going to blow it!”
The netizens were not affected by the comments of the merchants. Instead, they enthusiastically went to leave messages on the official Weibo of Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation.
“When will the Trillium Root-Securing Pill be released?”
“You make it sound so powerful. Take it out and let us have a look.”
“We haven’t seen 10 times the effect yet. Even if you don’t release it, you should at least show some of the Desert Cistanche to prove it.”
With everyone’s enthusiasm, the official Weibo of Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation released a second post.
Only two words were written—Coming soon!
In Beijiang, Fang Qiu was also paying attention to the movements of Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation.
After all, he was starting to run a company now. He had to see how these big shots in the business world operated. He needed to learn how to draw the audience’s attention and make the best publicity.
When Fang Qiu saw the two messages posted on Hua Yuan Pharmaceutica Corporation’s Weibo, he couldn’t help shaking his head and exclaiming, “It’s true. All business people are profiteers!
“It’s obvious that they are trying to maximize the benefits. Instead of launching the Life-prolonging Earth Pill that anyone can take, they chose to release the Trillium Root-Securing Pill, which can’t be taken by people who have a weak spleen or stomach.
“These two guys really live up to their reputation as sophisticated figures in the business world. Every move they make is cunning!”
