I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 38: It's hard to lose if you follow me

When Pang Di heard that the product was a slimming pill produced by Sihai Group, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, because she knew that if she became a spokesperson, she would definitely have to try the slimming pill.

Yang Chen saw Fatty's concerns, and smiled to comfort him, "There will definitely be no problem with the product. We have enough experimental data. However, it is still up to you to make the decision. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

While Fatty was still hesitating, Yang Min said, "Director Yang, why don't you give it to me? I have no concerns."

Fatty was anxious now, and quickly said, "I do, I do."

Yang Chen smiled and said, “Da Minmin, you’re not fat enough, so the effect isn’t obvious. This endorsement will be given to Fatty Di. There will be other endorsements for you later.”

Yang Min and Fat Di nodded and accepted Yang Chen's arrangement.

At this time, Chang Sheng, the president of Sihai Healthcare, came with two bottles of slimming pills.

According to experimental data, each bottle contains 14 slimming pills, one bottle is one course of treatment, and obvious effects can be seen within one week. After taking one bottle, users who are not seriously overweight will return to normal weight. If they are seriously overweight, they can continue to take the pills. Satisfactory results can be achieved after no more than 3 courses of treatment.

When encountering some extreme cases, such as some people weighing more than 300 pounds, or even heavier, this problem cannot be solved by this medicine alone, and medical means must be used in conjunction with it.

However, the drug instructions can exclude this type of people and only target people who are obese under normal living conditions.

Yang Chen handed Fatty a bottle of slimming pills, and said, “Every morning after you finish your meal, use a video to record the process of taking the pills, especially your daily weight changes, and your diet. Remember, you should eat normally, and don’t deliberately make any weight loss meals, nutritional meals, etc. Our customer group is ordinary people, they don’t have the conditions to do these, we want to let them know that slimming pills are really effective, and they don’t rely on dieting. Do you understand?”

Fatty nodded and replied, "Okay, Director Yang, I'll remember that."

Yang Chen nodded, and asked Guo Yi to take Yang Min and Fatty away.

After the three of them left, Yang Chen said to Chang Sheng, "Are all the filings for the slimming pills ready?"

"Everything is ready. I reported your name and Sihai Group's name, and it was approved all the way. We can now go into mass production and put it on the market. But our company's reputation is a bit bad now. Even if our slimming pills are effective, consumers may not buy them." Chang Sheng said worriedly.

This is indeed a big problem. In addition to making money, the most important thing for Sihai Group now is to restore its reputation and make consumers trust the Sihai brand again.

Yang Chen sighed and said, "Communicate with the pharmaceutical factory and produce 1 bottles for now. How can we convince consumers... Sigh... I need to think about it carefully."

Chang Sheng nodded and said, "Okay. I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, and Chang Sheng turned and left.

There is a saying that we often see: it takes a hundred years to build a brand, but only one night to ruin it. It is conceivable how difficult it is to make consumers believe in the Sihai brand again.

Yang Chen was thinking about countermeasures when Chen Xi knocked on the door and said, "Director Yang, President Chang brought a guest to see you."

Yang Chen nodded, and Chen Xi hurried to bring Chang Sheng and the guests in.

Changsheng brought with him Huang Wenbiao, the chairman of Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory.

Sihai Healthcare is only responsible for research and development, while production is completed by Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Te is also Sihai's creditor, with a total debt of 7.8 million.

Huang Wenbiao asked for help as soon as he saw Yang Chen.

"Director Yang, help! Help!"

Chang Sheng quickly introduced: "Mr. Yang, this is Mr. Huang Wenbiao, the chairman of Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory that we are cooperating with."

Yang Chen stood up and shook hands with Huang Wenbiao, then asked him to sit down and talk.

“Boss Huang, what’s the matter? Tell me nicely.” Yang Chen said.

Huang Wenbiao nodded and explained the situation to Yang Chen in detail.

Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory is not satisfied with making money only from processing business, they also want to make money from all sales channels.

At that time, Ozempic, a diabetes drug produced by Novo Nordisk, was found by some patients to have a good weight loss effect. Even the famous Tesla president, Thomas Masters, recommended this drug for weight loss. He also released a comparison of his body before and after taking the drug. It was obvious that he was very fat before taking the drug, but he lost a lot of weight after taking the drug.

There are many people in China who blindly worship Master. They think that the medicine recommended by such an awesome figure must be a good medicine. Many people get this medicine through friends and relatives or overseas purchase agents, and they really feel the weight loss effect.

Huang Wenbiao made a prompt decision and immediately went to Novo Nordisk headquarters to discuss the agency rights. After some negotiations, Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory finally won the sole permanent agency rights for this drug in Longguo District at a price of 2.5 million euros.

The 2.5 million drained all the cash flow of Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory. Huang Wenbiao even used the land and factory buildings of the pharmaceutical factory as collateral to the bank, and only then did he finally raise the 2.5 million euros.

At first, Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory did make a lot of money from this drug. At that time, micro-business was still very popular, and this drug would be mentioned in almost all micro-business friends’ circles. Moreover, thanks to the micro-business model of layered sales, the shipment volume of this drug was particularly large.

However, this good time only lasted for less than two years, as customers successively revealed that the side effects of this drug were particularly serious, and taking too much of it could lead to gastritis, cholecystitis, etc.

There were few customers who came to light at the time, and most of them did not notice this after eating, so no one paid any attention to it.

However, from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the side effects of this drug broke out in a concentrated manner. Thousands of customers complained to the relevant departments, reporting that Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory's drug did not clearly list the possible side effects in the instructions, causing many customers to suffer from serious gastritis, hepatitis, cholecystitis and other diseases.

The relevant departments immediately ordered Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory to stop production and recall all drugs immediately. At the same time, they also issued a notice calling on consumers not to take the drugs.

After half a year of investigation and evidence collection, the relevant departments have now collected enough evidence that the drug represented by Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory does have serious side effects. Long-term use can cause varying degrees of gastritis, hepatitis, cholecystitis, etc.

At present, the relevant departments have made a decision on the handling. Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory was fined 5.6 million yuan and fined 1.2 million yuan, and will bear the medical expenses, loss of work wages, etc. of all consumers.

This punishment decision was tantamount to sentencing Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory to death, and the Jiangte brand was completely ruined.

Huang Wenbiao came here today because he wanted Yang Chen to withdraw the money he earned from the stock market and pay back the 7.8 million owed by Sihai Group first.

Yang Chen said helplessly: "Don't even think about it. The bank is watching. It's impossible for me to withdraw the money and return it to you. And if I give it to you, I will have no capital. Besides, this is the debt of Sihai Healthcare's subsidiary, and has nothing to do with another subsidiary, Sihai Investment. You are the company's president, you should understand the law. Do you think I can embezzle Sihai Investment's money to repay Sihai Entertainment's debt? Do you want me to go to jail?"

"But I'm really desperate. I've tried every possible way, but I can't borrow money anywhere. How about this, I'll just count the money I borrowed from Sihai Investment, okay?" Huang Wenbiao said.

Yang Chen shook his head and said, "That's definitely not possible. What are you thinking?"

At this time, the system issues a reminder.

"The host refuses to repay the Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory. The system rewards the host with a super-strong [Breast Enlargement Drug], including the formula, production method, clinical data, etc."

There was a movement in Yang Chen's pocket. He touched it and found a USB flash drive. The data should be in this USB flash drive.

"Then what should I do? Am I dead?" Huang Wenbiao said with a sad face.

Yang Chen comforted him, “That’s not it. I’ll call the city government and ask them to allow you to pay in installments and continue to operate, but you can only produce for Sihai Great Health before all the problems are resolved. Now go back and produce the [Slimming Pills] with peace of mind. I promise that you can pay back the fines, and Sihai Great Health will soon be able to pay back the production fees owed to you. Believe me, and do this with me. If you don’t believe me, I can’t do anything about it. Anyway, Sihai Great Health doesn’t have the money to pay you back now.”

Huang Wenbiao immediately said, "The weight loss pills from our factory have just gone viral. You are still producing weight loss pills now. Do you think you can sell them?"

"Consumer demand is always there, whether you can consume it depends on your own ability. Your bankruptcy is your business, what does it have to do with us? However, your Jiangte brand has become tainted, and you need to re-register a company to be our manufacturer. Do you understand what I mean?" Yang Chen said.

Huang Wenbiao hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and accepted Yang Chen's plan.

"Okay! Then let's do as Mr. Yang said. I hope I can win this bet, otherwise I'm really dead." Huang Wenbiao said with a worried look on his face.

Yang Chen, however, was calm and composed, and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, if you follow me, it will be hard for you to lose.”

Huang Wenbiao forced a smile, but immediately asked, "Will the municipal government listen to you and not impose a fine immediately, and allow my factory to continue operating? I'm almost kneeling down and kowtowed, but the relevant departments won't give me a break."

Yang Chen immediately picked up his phone and called Huang Zhenhua, and pressed the speakerphone button so that Huang Wenbiao could also hear it.

"Hello, Mayor Huang, I have just developed a weight loss drug. All the data are very good. I am preparing to ask Jiangte Pharmaceutical Factory to help us produce it. Now they are the only ones willing to accept production on credit. Please don't punish them for the time being. I will take them to pay the fine slowly. Okay?"

"Is that so? Okay, I'll say hello to them and not enforce the punishment for now. Diet pills have a bad reputation now, so you have to be careful and don't make any mistakes."

"Haha... Thank you Mayor Huang for your concern. I will only take action when I am 100% sure. Don't worry."

Yang Chen hung up the phone and smiled at Huang Wenbiao.

Huang Wenbiao smiled and said, "Boss Yang is in a very special position now. I almost knelt down and begged but couldn't get it done, but you got it done with just one phone call. That's fine. I'll take this chance with Boss Yang."

Yang Chen stood up and walked over to pat Huang Wenbiao on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, as long as you follow me, big things will be small, and small things will be nothing. However, from now on, you should run the pharmaceutical factory honestly, and don't mess around. You will never earn the money that you shouldn't earn."

Huang Wenbiao sighed and said, "Alas... I had ambitions before, but now I feel completely at ease. I will follow Director Yang from now on and will never dare to have more ambitions. Director Yang, thank you for helping me. I will go back now and start the production line to make slimming pills for you immediately."
