Chapter 774 Expensive Promotion!

“Thank you, thank you.”

After confirming the efficacy of the pill, Yang Ningyuan was so excited that he held Fang Qiu’s hand and said, “Brother Fang, your Trillium Root-Securing Pill is really a good thing!”

“Are you trying to give me an extra bonus by thanking me like that?”

Fang Qiu asked with a smile.

“Well…”

Yang Ningyuan looked at Fang Qiu and said, “We’re brothers. We don’t need those things to show our relationship.”

Fang Qiu laughed out loud.

“By the way.”

Fang Qiu stopped, pursed his lips and asked, “The factory is restarting and the pills will be in production. Now it’s time to do the marketing. How are you going to play the game?”

“Hehe.”

Yang Ningyuan laughed and said, “I’m going to create a big statement!”

“Oh? A big statement?”

Fang Qiu was curious.

“Just wait and see.”

Yang Ningyuan said mysteriously.

That night.

After Fang Qiu returned to Jiangjing.

On the official Weibo of Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation, a notice was released.

“The first-batch production of our company’s main product—Trillium Root-Securing Pill has been completed. I will not describe the specific efficacy of the product here. If there are any friends who want to know more, you can check out the official website of Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation. Although the first batch of products has been completed, in order to dispel any doubts about our company’s product, our leaders had a discussion and decided that we will not put it on the market for the time being.”

“Also, in order to prevent anyone from questioning the effect of Trillium Root-Securing Pill, our company has decided to gather 100 people to try out the medicine. Those who are qualified to try it will get tickets, accommodation and meals for free. Every volunteer who comes will get 3,000 yuan as a volunteer fee, issued by our company on the spot. The cutoff time will be 12 p.m. tonight. After that, volunteers will be randomly selected and their tickets will be booked immediately.”

“Gentle reminder: Those who suffer from asthenic yin causing excessive pyrexia, Yang heat, or weakness of spleen and stomach, please do not sign up.”

That was a long post.

They listed all the relevant information, time, location and other details very clearly on Weibo.

Although it was late at night, it immediately attracted a lot of attention as soon as this post appeared.

“It’s been produced?”

“If it really has the same effect as what you said on the official website, this thing is comparable to an elixir.”

“I always thought it was fake, but I didn’t expect it to really be produced?”

“What the f*ck. Let’s put aside the actual effect of this Trillium Root-Securing Pill. Just look at this gesture. It’s so generous! They actually dared to directly select 100 people. The expense of food, accommodation, tickets and so on might cost millions. One could easily spend about ten thousand for one person. Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Company is really rich. It’s really generous!”

“Awesome! I’ve tried cakes, drinks, milk and so on, but this is the first time I’ve heard of trying drugs!”

“Aren’t you afraid of killing someone in the trials?”

“They must be so confident of their medicine that they dare to do this.”

“How on earth would anyone dare to do this? It will be fine if nothing happens during this event, but if anything happens, it would cause death!”

“The most important thing is that they are giving people money. They are giving 3,000 yuan to each person and it would be 300,000 yuan for 100 people. People can make money and get free travel. How generous!”

Within half an hour, the number of comments had reached 100,000 and was still growing wildly under the official Weibo account of the Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation. As people spread the news, more and more people came to know about it. The number of people who signed up for it kept increasingly at a rapid rate.

Fang Qiu returned to Jiangjing and got off the high-speed train.

He immediately took out his mobile phone and logged into Weibo.

He knew that if Yang Ningyuan wanted to make a big statement, he would definitely not be able to avoid Weibo and the news media because, in this era, the platform with the fastest spreading speed and a wide range of audience was Weibo.

As soon as he logged in, Fang Qiu instantly saw the official Weibo post of the Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation.

“Such a generous move.”

Viewing this Weibo, as well as the heated comments and registration numbers, Fang Qiu was stunned.

He did not expect that Yang Ningyuan would make such a move.

“Trial to take the medicine?”

This had never happened in the history of both the business world and the pharmaceutical industry.

The medicine tryout would attract numerous people’s attention because it was a very novel thing in the first place. Could the medicine be used as a trial?

“Can the medicine still be classified as drugs if it can be tried?”

While attracting the public’s interest, they even gave out money.

This was purely using money to gain attention. What was the most attractive thing in this world? It was something that one could benefit from. 3,000 yuan was a month’s salary for an ordinary white-collar worker. Even for a white-collar worker who had a decent salary, it was not a small sum of money. It was enough to pay for a car loan, a house mortgage, or a credit card bill.

Moreover, there were a total of 100 people. Although the number of people who signed up was very large, the chances for the number of people who would win the lucky draw was also very large. The chances of winning the prize was not as small as expected.

Most importantly, they even included air tickets, food and accommodation, which was unbelievable.

This could be regarded as a vacation.

How could people not pay attention to it? How could they not be tempted?

“Amazing!”

Fang Qiu could not help exclaiming, “It became a hit on the Internet right away. Although it may not be very tempting when they offer free accommodation and food, the round trip tickets and the money are indeed mouth-watering baits. Besides, in addition to the benefits that can be seen clearly, the 100 people who are selected to participate in this event will inevitably become the focus of attention of the society!”

“Anyone who is paying attention to Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation will focus on the Trillium Root-Securing Pill. As they follow the medicine, they will inevitably follow the 100 people. After all, the effect of the Trillium Root-Securing Pill has been hyped up on the Internet. So everyone would be eager to find out if such a powerful medicine can really be produced in this world.”

“It is a known fact that the 100 people who have tried it will have the greatest say on the effect of the pill!”

Just the fact that they could become the focus of everyone’s attention was enough to make many people flock to have a try!

After all, in this era, there were countless people who wanted to be famous. Otherwise, there would not be so many Internet influencers. Some people would even do anything for fame.

It was evident that this move of the Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation gave those people a chance to directly become the focus of attention and make themselves known to the public. For many people, they could not afford to lose such an opportunity!

At least, those who wanted to be online celebrities would definitely sign up for it.

Indeed, Fang Qiu was right.

Many Internet influencers reposted and signed up in order to gain popularity after seeing Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation’s Weibo.

After all, they would not encounter such a big event several times a year.

For example, the female internet influencer named “Little Flying Man” specialized in Costume Play. Because she was quite good-looking and had a good figure, she attracted a lot of fans. Her fans on Weibo numbered more than 500,000.

Taking a closer look, Little Flying Man had been following people with a high popularity rate on Weibo in the past two years, such as Fang Qiu, Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation, Siqi Pharmaceutical Company, Taikang Pharmaceutical Company and so on.

It was also because of this, she immediately reposted and signed up after seeing what the Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation posted on Weibo.

Just after she reposted it.

There was already a group of her fans cheering for her on Weibo.

“Come on, FF. You’ll definitely be selected.”

“Haha, Ms. FF also signed up?”

“FF, you will definitely get the spot.”

In addition to these regular Internet influencers, there was also a group of medium-level Internet celebrities online.

An online influencer anchor playing electronic sports directly reposted Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation’s Weibo and said, “I want to sign up! If I am lucky enough to become one of these 100 lucky people, I will immediately send 10 red packets containing 10000 yuan in total to thank the people who support me. Please support me!”

Because of the fact that electronic sports attracted many young people, the number of followers of this anchor on Weibo exceeded a million.

As soon as this Weibo was posted, it was immediately reposted and commented on by many fans.

Seeing that the anchor would be sending 10 red packets with 1,000 yuan each, many people who did not know him immediately followed him and commented.

With such simple actions following the trend, he immediately gained a large number of fans, at least tens of thousands of people.

Fang Qiu was still watching the situation on Weibo.

When he saw those online celebrities and streamers taking advantage of the situation to gain popularity, he could not help but shake his head and sigh with emotion.

“As expected, none of them are fools.”

With a light sigh, Fang Qiu said with emotion, “Now, even the online influencers and the game lovers who don’t want to go to school will use all kinds of means to hype themselves. Is the principle of surviving in this world really according to the Babbitt psychology?”

At 12 o’clock in the evening.

“It is the cutoff time!”

Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation’s official Weibo released a message and immediately used the lucky draw tool on Weibo to conduct the lucky draw.

After that, the official Weibo also released a video of how they conducted the lucky draw, as well as a list of 100 lucky people selected, so as to ensure the fairness of this event.

Once the list was released, the official Weibo also informed the selected 100 people that in an hour, they needed to bring their ID cards and other necessary information to contact the official Weibo in private. The company would book the tickets for everyone as soon as possible.

There was no doubt that there was another round of heated discussions as soon as the list of 100 people appeared.

“What the f*ck! It was just one step away. I would have been selected if I had commented one second later. Ah!!”

“Why not me?”

“I was looking forward to it until now, but I didn’t get it?”

“Hey, take a shower and go to sleep!”

“I’ve been selected. Haha… I got it.”

“This is the first time in my life that I’ve won a prize. It feels so damn good! Do you envy me?!”

In the blink of an eye, some were happy and some were sad. The people who were not selected were crying and shouting and the people who were chosen were extremely excited. The Weibo of many people who had been selected had comments left by countless people asking for the lottery number for tomorrow. They were all overjoyed.

The game anchor, who played electronic sports and said that he would give out ten red packets with a price of 10,000 yuan, was also selected.

As expected, after being selected, the anchor immediately posted a Weibo, asking people to repost and comment on his Weibo before he conducted a lucky draw.

His action spread quickly again, attracting the attention of many people who did not know him but followed him for money!

10,000 yuan helped him gain a large number of fans!

An hour later, Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation’s official Weibo account began to book tickets for those who contacted them. As a result, one person out of the 100 people did not take the initiative to contact them.

In the end, when they could not get in touch with the person, the official Weibo stated that they would choose another person.

Everyone left their comments one after another, hoping to be chosen!
