Chapter 700: Be a Commoner (1)

Liu Qing’s trip to the capital city was quite fruitful.

His original intention was to attend the commendation ceremony and consolidate his relationship with his partners.

He did not expect to expand his circle of friends and get the Xingguo vaccine project.

Although the Tian Yuan Corporation’s investment was a small part of the total investment in the vaccine project, it was a huge success to be able to get this admission ticket, and the benefits were also considerable.

The vaccine was still undergoing phase II clinical trials, and there was still some time before it could be launched. There was no way to talk about financial benefits, but the Tian Yuan Corporation’s participation in such a project and high-profile publicity increased the public’s good impression of this investment group.

During the same period, some big internet companies that had made a lot of money in the internet age had a huge amount of money in their hands. They did not invest in cutting-edge technology research and development. Instead, they competed with some vegetable vendors for profits and invested a lot of subsidies. They forced some vegetable markets to close down with lower prices and sought to monopolize the people’s vegetable baskets.

This way, there was no need for technical breakthroughs. As long as they used their original network channels and capital advantages, they could do it. It could be said that they were lying in the comfort zone looking for food.

They had the most abundant funds and a large number of elites, but they did not dare to compete with foreign manufacturers in high-tech. They only dared to compete with market vendors. Many people looked down on them, which made them have a deeper understanding of capitalists.

In addition to the 996 and whatnot, it made everyone more and more disgusted with capitalists.

At this time, the term " capitalist " had become the root of all evil in many people’s minds.

At a time like this, the fact that the Tianyuan Group could invest so much money into the research and development of the vaccine had clearly become a clear stream among the capitalists and was recognized by many people.

This recognition was the biggest gain for the Tian Yuan Corporation.

Two or three years ago, the Tian Yuan Corporation did not transform into an industrial company. It was just a simple investment company. It did not matter if it had the recognition of society. After all, they did not directly produce goods. It did not matter if the people recognized it or not.

However, in the past two to three years, the Tianyuan Group had invested a lot in the industry and produced a lot of products. The recognition of the people was of great significance to the sales of these products.

Such a reputation was reflected in sales. The sales of the products produced by the small and medium-sized enterprises under the Tian Yuan Corporation had increased significantly in the past few days.

When Tianyuan Media’s streamers brought their goods, there would be fans who requested to bring more goods produced by the Tianyuan Corporation.

The number of offline sales channels had also increased. Many large supermarket chains had taken the initiative to contact the Tian Yuan Corporation, hoping to become their sales channels.

This was very rare in the past.

This also meant that the Tian Yuan Corporation had gained the recognition of more people.

Liu Qing’s number of fans on the acne marks platform had also broken through to 20 million after his trip to Beijing.

Tianyuan Media and Hurricane Media were both new media companies under Liu Qing. Tianyuan Media, in particular, had crossed multiple platforms and developed new media in all aspects. Now, they already had a certain degree of control over public opinion.

Since the boss of this restaurant had done such a thing, they would naturally prioritize publicity.

Not only would they publicize it themselves, but they would also pay a certain amount of money to let other media follow suit.

Under such publicity, Liu Qing became the representative of young private entrepreneurs in the country.

Although he did not reach the level of an old private entrepreneur who was under the sanctions of many countries, he had already become the idol of many young people.

Some media outlets even made up stories to attract traffic, saying that the Tian Yuan Corporation had already invested in the chip industry and was determined to make their own chips.

This was a little ridiculous.

The Tian Yuan Corporation had indeed invested in some high-tech companies a few years ago, but the corporation itself did not have any high-tech genes. The industries they invested in were basically backward industries.

It wasn’t that they didn’t have the heart to invest in chips, but they couldn’t get a reliable project, and they didn’t dare to invest in unreliable projects.

With their size, they couldn’t afford to burn that money.

Of course, they didn’t deny the rumor.

In any case, they did not publish such a thing themselves. If no one came to verify this matter, they would not deny it.

She asked, but she didn’t know.

Unless they had proof in front of them, they would not refute the rumors.

Letting the people’s emotions boil would be beneficial to the sales of the goods, so there was no need to rush to deny it.

This wave of popularity was no less than the tens of millions of masks donated by Liu Qing during the outbreak of the epidemic.

The Tian Yuan Corporation had even spent tens of millions to promote this matter, so the popularity of this matter was much greater than before.

Liu Qing’s conscience as a young private entrepreneur in the country received a lot of praise.

These praises made Liu Qing feel smug, but at the same time, he felt a little confused.

He said to Su Qi in private," I heard that if you don’t have the virtue, there will be disaster. You know what kind of person I am. I’m just a scumbag with a messy private life. Do I deserve such praise?""

Su Qi smiled and said to him,"They exaggerated the things you did. Most of them are true." I didn’t say how good your private life is. It’s not that you don’t deserve a position."
