Medical Master

Chapter 1339 Give Him a Knife Against Us

“Judicial authorities?”

The bosses in the WeChat group were all stunned.

Absolutely…

Fang Qiu couldn’t do anything to them if they managed to get the judicial authorities on their side.

“It’s hard!”

The group leader paused momentarily and said, “Regardless of whether we can do it, Fang Qiu has the evidence to prove that we were plotting against him. He is now on the side of justice, and we are on the dark side. The key is public opinion. Everyone is on Fang Qiu’s side. Even if we get the support of the judicial authorities, it will not exert any substantial effect. Under the people’s scrutiny, the judicial authorities can’t turn a blind eye to it. Besides…”

“I have to remind you of something. Fang Qiu’s cultivation base is located in a restricted military area. Can ordinary people do their cultivation in a restricted military area? I remember a piece of news saying his setting up of the cultivation base was a cooperation with the country. We may think of a way to make judicial authorities help us. But do you think we can defeat him after that?”

“I have a suggestion. Things have gone this far; let’s not play any more tricks. We’d better do business in a just and proper manner.”

After the group leader sent out the reminder…

In the WeChat group…

Leaders of all the Chinese Medicine companies were suddenly horrified.

They had actually forgotten about this.

It was true that Fang Qiu had been working with the government.

No wonder he could find the chains of evidence in such a short time.

Just now…

Many even wanted to murder Fang Qiu and look for a scapegoat to take the blame. After that, they could be completely rid of this matter. However, Fang Qiu was actually doing business with the government in the restricted military area. When they learned about that, these people were absolutely terrified!

“Attacking a man who is serving the country?

“If we do that, we will surely end up bringing destruction upon ourselves.

“Once we are found guilty, our lives and possessions will vanish like smoke!

“Moreover…

“Once we hurt Fang Qiu, we will infuriate the entire country. It will be impossible for us to stay untouched and safe thereafter.”

The more they reflected on this problem…

The more frightened they became…

For a moment, they felt Fang Qiu seemed to have become a hedgehog covered with poisonous quills. Wherever he went, they didn’t dare to get near him. Once they exerted a little pressure to touch him, they would be injured and might die.

“Alas!”

Knowing that everyone was in a flustered state, the group leader couldn’t help shaking his head and sighed with emotion. “When Fang Qiu first prepared to enter the industry of traditional Chinese medicine, we could have joined forces to resist him. After he found out about the difficulties, he would withdraw. We could have made it if we hadn’t fabricated a charge against him. Unfortunately, we can’t do it now.”

“We handed the knife to Fang Qiu and pulled the knife in his hand to cut our throats. We brought this on ourselves.”

“Now, let’s forget those fantastic ideas to go against him. We can only watch Fang Qiu nibble our market away. Or, let’s do our business according to his rules!”

While they discussed…

Everyone in the WeChat group shook their heads helplessly in dismay.

The current situation was something they could not handle at all.

Just as the group leader said, they could only watch Fang Qiu and hope he would not be so cruel as to wipe them out.

In the next few days…

The Foundation did not contact any of the medicine merchants in any of the Chinese medicinal herbs distribution centers throughout the country. When the leaders of these pharmaceutical companies found out, they knew Fang Qiu had no intention to purchase the medicine from these distributing centers.

Now…

The bosses of these pharmaceutical companies could only hope that Fang Qiu would bring disgrace onto his head — he would fail to keep his promise to halve the prices within a month.

“This is our last chance. If Fang Qiu fails to reduce the prices in the market of traditional Chinese medicine by half as he had promised, it will be useless for Fang Qiu to threaten us. After all, his plan would fail the moment he breaks his promise.”

“How can he lower the prices?”

“Even if we don’t play any tricks, those medicine merchants will go against him. After all, no one wants to see their profits fall sharply.”

“The medicine merchants are unwilling to cooperate with him, and the herb farmers can’t grow so many medicinal herbs. Without enough medicinal herbs to maintain his stock, how can he change the prices in the market of Chinese medicinal herbs?”

“Let’s wait and see. This time, Fang Qiu will humiliate himself!”

All the leaders of pharmaceutical companies began to predict the outcome of the situation secretly.

In their opinion…

Even if they didn’t undermine his plan of lowering the prices, Fang Qiu could hardly fulfill his promise to reduce the prices by half within a month.

Thus…

They only needed to do one thing…

They would wait and see when Fang Qiu brought the failure on himself.

However…

The next day…

The leaders of these pharmaceutical companies were frustrated and stunned!

It was because the Three Billion Foundation released a new Weibo post.

“We announce that in three days, we will reduce the prices of traditional Chinese medicine in all the clinics of our Foundation to half of the current market prices!”

As soon as this post emerged…

Countless people liked and reposted it.

“They’ve started to fulfill their promise!”

“Awesome. They are so quick to take action!”

“They only halved the prices of medicinal herbs in their countryside clinics, but it’s great that they were able to achieve that quickly. I’m looking forward to seeing the future developments. Fang Qiu will make it!”

“I’ll buy medicine from the countryside clinics in three days!”

“I hope we won’t blindly rush to the countryside clinics. Please show consideration for the countryside patients and let the Foundation do what it can to help them. They are different from us. We have the means to buy traditional Chinese medicine, but they have little money to spare. I hope you won’t compete with these amiable farmers in the countryside for the medicine.”

“Yes, don’t scramble for these medicinal herbs. Trust Fang Qiu and hold on for a little longer. We will soon be able to buy traditional Chinese medicine at half price!”

Many netizens were talking about this in the current trending communities, like Weibo, post bars, major forums, mobile phone apps, etc. Everyone was frantically reposting this post from the Foundation and spreading it through screenshots or self-made videos.

Everyone gave ‘likes’ to the Foundation and praised its action.

Not long after…

Fang Qiu also reposted this announcement on Weibo.

“It’s just a small step, but we made it. Believe us: everything is getting better and better! @Three Billion [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Chenxiang, thank you for your efforts. Thank you, everyone.”

Everyone took a look.

They were all pleasantly surprised.

“It turns out that so many people are supporting Fang Qiu.”

“Except for Jiang Miaoyu, all the top ten contestants from the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor in the first season have joined him.”

“If Jiang Miaoyu returns to Huaxia, she will definitely help as soon as she is able to. She is now providing medical assistance in Africo. When she returns, all the top ten participants of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor in the first season will be united in their efforts to help.”

“And there is also Jiang Mengjie, the champion of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor in the second season, our Goddess of Chinese Medicine!”

“Everyone is doing well. Young Chinese Medicine doctors are willing to contribute all their efforts to the development of Chinese Medicine. Huaxia Chinese Medicine will surely embrace an even brighter future!”

Before long…

Li Huawen, the chief director of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, also saw Fang Qiu’s Weibo post.

He immediately gave it a like.

He replied to this Fang Qiu’s Weibo post, “Merely because of what you’re doing now, I think it’s worthwhile for us to do the show ‘Young Chinese Medicine Doctor’!”

Director Li Huawen praised.

Netizens gave him likes frantically and pushed his comment to the top of the comment page.

After that…

Weibo users flocked to leave remarks below this comment.

“Good job, Director Li!”

“Director Li cares a lot about the Chinese Medicine doctors in your show.”

“Young Chinese Medicine Doctor is a good program. I hope the director can go on producing shows like this. This show can promote the power of Chinese Medicine for our country and promote the development of Chinese Medicine.”

“There’s nothing to watch recently. TV series and variety shows are boring. I want to watch the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor now. When will the third season be released? Director Li?”

Netizens left all kinds of comments.

But they all requested the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor show to continue for another season.

When Director Li Huawen saw those comments and likes from lots of netizens…

He said joyfully, “See you next year in the third season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor!”

As soon as this reply came out…

The netizens applauded and cheered for it.

On the other side…

Leaders of the pharmaceutical companies were all dumbfounded.

“What the fuck. So fast?”

“How can he officially lower the prices now? It has only been more than 20 days.”

“I wonder how the devil he managed it?”

“He did not purchase any goods from wholesalers in the major distribution centers of Chinese medicinal herbs. If he only collected indigenous medicinal herbs from herb farmers, how could he dare say he would lower the prices?”

“There are only 60,000 clinics, but they still require a large number of medicinal herbs. Where did he get the medicinal herbs from? How could he do it so quickly?”

They were confused and shocked.

Bosses from these pharmaceutical companies hurriedly investigated this matter.

After they asked around, they found out that…

It turned out that there was a batch of herb farmers in the country who planted indigenous medicinal herbs only. In the eyes of those profit-before-everything wholesale merchants of Chinese medicinal herbs, the prices of indigenous medicinal herbs were too high. Thus, they didn’t buy them. After Fang Qiu’s Foundation released the news that they would buy these herbs, those farmers who specialized in planting indigenous medicinal herbs went to Fang Qiu.

These people grew indigenous medicinal herbs to develop Chinese Medicine and to make some money. Since these medicine merchants didn’t want their products, they turned to Fang Qiu.

After all…

They had been in the middle ground between the two sides.

In the past…

For these pharmaceutical merchants and wholesalers of Chinese medicinal herbs, the farmers who planted indigenous medicinal herbs were too inexperienced and young and did not know the market prices. But these merchants didn’t expect these farmers to come to Fang Qiu’s aid this time.

After the bosses of these pharmaceutical companies learned the facts…

They all fell silent.

No one spoke.

However, the WeChat group kept flashing to remind them of new messages.

Each clicked on it to see what was going on.

It turned out the others had silently quit the WeChat group.

It was obvious…

In this case, they knew they were incapable of saving the overall situation. Since there was no point in remaining in this group, every one of them could only withdraw, then try to find their own way out.

Here…

Fang Qiu soon heard that the alliance of bosses of these pharmaceutical companies had collapsed.

The news was leaked by one member of the alliance.

After Fang Qiu heard the news…

He sneered.

This was the result he wanted. He didn’t dare to jeopardize their overall interest, but even so, he could crush these people one by one. He collated the overwhelming evidence against all of them. Whoever dared to stand in his way would be doomed!

Undoubtedly…

Without anyone to hinder him, Fang Qiu’s plan was going pretty smoothly.

Next…

After two months, the medicinal herbs in stock would be used up. Fang Qiu only had one thing to worry about: where could he get more medicinal herbs to fill the gap?
