Chapter 752 - Being Nominated As One of the Top Ten Youths of the World!

The more Fang Qiu thought about it, the more he felt that these two business giants had really thought things through so thoroughly.

“First, they introduce the Trillium Root-Securing Pill and arouse the interest of the media with these trending topics on Weibo. After the Desert Cistanche becomes popular, they immediately register and verify via official Weibo. Then they take the opportunity to publicize it. Once everyone’s curiosity about the Trillium Root-Securing Pill is triggered, they come forward to suppress the Desert Cistanche’s popularity. They then use the topic they publicized as stepping stones, telling everyone that they are using exclusive special Desert Cistanche. In this way, not only will they reduce the popularity of Desert Cistanche, but they will also reduce the possible consequences, which is that people might not be satisfied with the Desert Cistanche. Meanwhile, this helps promote their products.”

“It sounds impossible that there should be a Desert Cistanche which is ten times better than the current one, but this impossibility will easily attract people’s attention because the Desert Cistanche will eventually be used to make medicine, so everyone’s focus will naturally be shifted from Desert Cistanche to the Trillium Root-Securing Pill.”

“With the words—coming soon, it really leaves people in suspense.”

“In the following days, the Trillium Root-Securing Pill will be put on the market, with numerous people looking forward to it. As soon as the Trillium Root-Securing Pill is released, they will tell people that those who have weak spleens and stomachs can’t take it. Then, it will definitely make those people furious and then they can only look on with envy.”

“At that time, Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation will take the opportunity to launch the Life-prolonging Earth Pill that can resolve the problems pertaining to the spleen and stomach. After this, those who have weak spleens and stomachs will definitely spend money to buy the Life-prolonging Earth Pill in order to take the Trillium Root-Securing Pill. In addition, after buying the Life-prolonging Earth Pill, they will definitely buy the Trillium Root-Securing Pill too.”

“Those who buy the Trillium Root-Securing Pill will realize the efficacy of the drug and will very likely buy the Life-prolonging Earth Pill. This is because the pill does not have any restrictions. They can even send it as a gift. It will not be a problem for them to buy these two kinds of pills at one time.”

“The way they are launching the drugs is incredible.”

“If they change the sequence of these two pills, the Trillium Root-Securing Pill will be sold at a much lower price, while more Life-prolonging Earth Pills will then be sold. In general, the effect will be adverse. According to this order of the promotion, these two pills will definitely sell well!”

“What a cunning businessman!”

In the office, Fang Qiu had to shake his head in admiration for Li Qihua and Yang Ningyuan’s marketing plan.

They were so remarkable.

However, even if Fang Qiu could see through the marketing scheme of Li Qihua and Yang Ningyuan, he could not interfere.

After all, there were business rules in this field. They were merely operating a normal business. It was understandable for them to do some marketing for profit.

After all, every industry has its own set of rules. When you were doing business, you have to follow the business rules.

However, Fang Qiu also saw a lot of netizens’ speculations on the Internet, whether he had something to do with Desert Cistanche.

With regard to this, Fang Qiu was quite surprised.

He did not expect that the netizens would connect this to him.

However, if it was just speculation, Fang Qiu did not care about it.

As for him, this was not the right time to stand out. He still needed to keep it a secret for a while.

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu nodded secretly and looked out of the window at the students who were in the last year of their medical studies, working in the factory of the cultivation area.

“In the blink of an eye, I’ve been here for more than half a month.”

Fang Qiu thought for a moment and said, “Since the cultivation base and company have been established and running so smoothly, it’s time to reward them.”

After that, Fang Qiu walked straight out of the office and went to the newly built cultivation base.

Although it was called a base, it was just a large factory, like the one in Jiangjing. After all, it was large enough to cultivate seedlings and it had a factory and a few research facilities.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In order to make it easier to manage the planting, Fang Qiu deliberately segregated a spot to serve as a cultivation section, when he was building the base.

In the future, if the seedlings were successfully raised, they could be transplanted immediately to the cultivation base, which would not only save on the transportation time and expenses along the way, but also cut down the time to grow the seedlings.

Soon, he arrived at the cultivation section of the factory.

“Everyone, gather round.”

Fang Qiu found Zhao Shanlin and asked him to gather the people together.

After a while, all the interns gathered in a relatively spacious spot near the gate.

“What’s the matter? Go ahead.”

Zhao Shanlin said.

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded and said to everyone, “The purpose of asking all of you to gather here is to tell you two things.”

“The first thing, I believe that everyone has seen the news online now. The Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation has established and also announced that it will launch a new drug that uses Desert Cistanche as its main composition. Yang Ningyuan has come to our base many times, so I believe that you are aware that the Desert Cistanche used by Hua Yuan is supplied by us.”

Everyone nodded.

Of course, they knew that.

If it were not for the cooperation, would it be necessary for Yang Ningyuan to visit the base time and again?

“What I’m asking for is that,”

Fang Qiu looked at everyone and said with a serious expression, “I want to ask you to keep this a secret. No one is allowed to reveal that we are the supplier for Hua Yuan Corporation.”

“Can you do that?”

Fang Qiu asked.

“Yes.”

Everyone nodded in unison and agreed.

“Okay, thank you.”

Seeing the affirmation on everyone’s faces, Fang Qiu nodded with a smile and said, “Now, let’s talk about the second thing.”

“The second thing is that I want to thank you for your efforts.”

“Without your joint efforts, our cultivation base would not have been able to start operating so quickly and develop into this state in such a short period of time. In order to thank all of you for your efforts, this month, in addition to the basic salary, each person will receive another 10,000 yuan as a reward!”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“Really?”

“I’m not dreaming, am I?”

“10,000? It’s even higher than my salary each month!”

Everyone was in a state of shock and looked at Fang Qiu strangely, wondering if Fang Qiu had inadvertently made a mistake in his speech.

“This…”

Zhao Shanlin also asked hurriedly, “Is it ten thousand per person, or ten thousand for some of them?”

“Ten thousand for each person.”

Fang Qiu said.

“What?”

Zhao Shanlin was stunned.

He also thought that Fang Qiu had made a slip of the tongue, so he wanted to help Fang Qiu find a way to change it. However, he did not expect that Fang Qiu was serious in giving each person 10,000 yuan as a bonus.

This was simply too generous.

It should be noted that one intern only had a salary of two to three thousand yuan a month and the internship lasted about three months. Ten thousand was equivalent to paying their salary for several months.

“It’s true, it’s true!”

“Yeah…”

When they heard the confirmation from Fang Qiu, all the interns immediately cheered ecstatically.

Ten thousand!

In addition to the salary of three months of internship, it was close to 20,000 yuan.

This was the first pot of gold in their lives. If they saved all of it, they could invest in some small businesses.

“Well, we’re done talking about these two things. You can get back to work.”

Looking at everyone cheering, Fang Qiu was in a good mood.

After walking out of the cultivation section,

“Why did you suddenly think of giving them a bonus?”

Zhao Shanlin asked.

“You cultivated the Desert Cistanche from the very beginning. I only showed up occasionally, but I could only help out a little. To put it bluntly, what we have achieved now is reliant on their strength. Without them, our progress would have been greatly affected. Although they are interns, they are indeed our first group of our employees. As leaders, we’ve made a lot of money, so we have to reward them.”

Fang Qiu said.

“Actually, I’ve also thought about it, but I still think that it’s the same if you give the bonus on the third month of internship. At that time, I can also ask how many people are willing to stay. After all, they are already familiar with the process of cultivation and they are all students practicing Chinese Medicine. They are now more proficient in cultivation. I don’t want to have to recruit other people and start teaching them all over again after the internship ends.”

Zhao Shanlin said.

“I think they will stay.”

Fang Qiu nodded with a smile. Then he looked at the workers working in the cultivation area in front of him and said, “These workers are all recruited from nearby, aren’t they?”

“Yes.”

Zhao Shanlin nodded and said, “They’re all locals and they’re all good at farming on the sand. They’ve done sand prevention work before. After a little training, they’ve learned how to grow Desert Cistanche. They have done a good job.”

“Let’s gather everyone.”

Fang Qiu said.

“Are you going to do that again?”

Zhao Shanlin was bewildered and said, “Money can be earned, but we can’t spend it like this!”

“Don’t worry. I will not be giving them another bonus.”

Fang Qiu grinned.

“All right then.”

Zhao Shanlin nodded and then quickly gathered all the workers.

“Good job, everyone.”

Fang Qiu first paid everyone compliments and then said to them, “Our cultivation base is a very friendly place. As long as you work hard enough, you will be amply rewarded. Of course, because the base has just been established, the salary at the beginning is not much, but I saw your tenacity and passion for work, so starting from this month, everyone’s salary will be increased by 1,000!”

The workers cheered together.

Zhao Shanlin also beamed.

He was opposed to the bonus, but he was willing to raise their salaries. Not only did it give the workers the motivation to work hard, but it also retained the people. Why not?

Undoubtedly, it worked.

As soon as Fang Qiu finished his announcement, all the workers worked much harder.

Fang Qiu smiled with relief.

At this time,

“Beep, beep, beep…”

His cell phone rang.

Fang Qiu took out his phone and found that it was a call from Chen Yinsheng.

“President Chen?”

Fang Qiu quickly answered the phone.

“Fang Qiu, congratulations.”

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yinsheng chuckled.

“What?”

Fang Qiu was confused.

Congratulations for what?

“Kid, you must have been busy with your company recently. You don’t pay attention to what’s going on outside, do you?”

Chen Yinsheng asked with a smile.

“Indeed.”

Fang Qiu replied.

“Congratulations, you’ve been nominated as one of the Top Ten Youths of the world this year.”

Chen Yinsheng said, “This is a world-class big award. Only ten people will get this award per year and you will only see a thousand in a hundred years.”

“Top Ten Youths?”

Fang Qiu was even more confused.

How could he suddenly get nominated?

Why was there no news about it at all?

After chatting with Chen Yinsheng for a while, Fang Qiu ended the call and then checked the Internet. As a result, he found that he had really been nominated as one of the Top Ten Youths of the year. However, the final result would be announced ten days later.
