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

Chapter 44 Competitors Deliberately Slander
Following Yang Chen's instructions, Chang Sheng sent out auction invitations to all online and offline channel dealers who had consulted about the agency rights, and clearly informed them of the auction price. They were asked to come only if they could accept it after careful consideration, and not to come if they could not.

This is the confidence given by the product quality and strong reputation. Anyway, if these channel dealers want to make money, they have to bid, otherwise they can forget about getting a share of the pie.

At this time, academicians and experts from the Longguo Academy of Sciences were gathering together to study the Sihai Slimming Pills.

The team was led by Li Rende, dean of the School of Life Sciences and winner of the Highest Science and Technology Progress Award, and assisted by Wang Dawei, another winner of the Highest Science and Technology Progress Award and a chemistry expert. More than a dozen academicians have been conducting research for three consecutive days and nights, but they still have not been able to figure out what the ingredient marked as "X ingredient" is.

Li Rende held his aching waist and sat down, saying with a smile: "Is it because we can't keep up with the development of science, or our ability has declined? Why can't we research something that a research team of a commercial company can research?"

Wang Dawei followed up by saying, "This 'X ingredient' is definitely not a naturally occurring substance. It must be a new substance synthesized through chemical reactions. Although I feel very disappointed, fortunately, our Longguo researchers invented this substance. If we can convince them to publish this substance, this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine will definitely belong to Longguo. Dean Li, how about we go to Jiangcheng?"

Li Rende nodded and said, "It is a lifelong learning. Since we cannot figure out what this thing is by our own ability, let's go and ask the researchers of Sihai Health for advice. Those who want to go together can sign up, and we will buy high-speed rail tickets for tomorrow."

Other academicians quickly raised their hands to sign up. They all wanted to personally ask the researchers from Sihai Healthcare what "ingredient X" was and how to synthesize it.

Due to historical, economic, technological and other comprehensive factors, the Chinese have always admired foreign brands, whether it is cars, home appliances, furniture, cosmetics, clothes, bags, etc., as long as it is a foreign brand, even if the brand is only a third-tier brand in its country, it will be promoted as a first-tier international brand in China, and no matter how expensive it is, there will be people who will pay for it.

When it comes to domestic products, they are rubbish, and when it comes to foreign brands, they are good.

Because of this common perception, foreign brands are making a lot of money in the Dragon Country.

The South Korean health product brand GRM has a weight loss drug that is very popular in Longguo. This single product alone can bring in more than 200 million yuan in sales from Longguo every year.

The GRM Longguo District headquarters, located in the Haicheng Economic and Trade Building, is holding an emergency meeting. Even their president Park Jung-guk, who is far away in South Korea, is participating in the meeting via video.

The president of GRM's Longguo region is Lee Eun-hui, who is from South Korea but grew up in Longguo and is very familiar with the country. She must know everything that ordinary people in Longguo know.

Lee Eun-hye reports to CEO Park Jung-guk on the sudden rise of Sihai Slimming Pills.

"According to the information we have obtained and the experience of our employees in trying it, the effect of Sihai Slimming Pills is very good. Not only can it help lose weight, but it can also treat mild diseases such as fatty liver and high blood lipids that are common among obese people. Our product only has the effect of losing weight, so it is difficult to beat it. They release a thousand boxes online every day, and they are basically sold out instantly. The sales of our products have dropped significantly in recent days. There is only so much market for high-end weight loss drugs, and they are taking away our market share."

Park Jung-guk looked solemn. After a moment of silence, he said, "The Longguo market is our main source of profit. We must keep our share at all costs. How is the test report?"

Li Enhui quickly replied: "According to the public test report, there is no problem with the ingredients, but there is a substance named "ingredient X" that no laboratory can detect."

Park Jung-guk's face suddenly looked much better. He smiled and said, "Since no one can detect it, it's easy. We can make a big fuss about this 'X ingredient'. You pay someone to write an article saying that although we don't know what this ingredient is, experts have determined that it can cause damage to the heart, nerves, etc. Anyway, no one knows what it is, so there is no way to prove whether what we say is true or false."

Li Enhui smiled and said: "What the president said makes sense. I know what to do." Li Enhui has a strong execution ability. She immediately paid an internet blogger to write articles and post videos to discredit Sihai Slimming Pills, using the argument that "X ingredient" can cause damage to the heart, nerves, etc.

Overnight, the entire Internet was discussing this matter.

"Look, look, I said that Sihai slimming pills would be as unreliable as Sihai real estate, right? Haha... There are some stupid people who believe that a weight loss pill can have so many effects."

"No way? Why hasn't it been exposed before? My heart is sore. Why didn't Wang Dahai and his team tell everyone that this "X ingredient" can damage the heart and nerves? Have they really been recharged by the Sihai Group?"

"Oh my god! What should I do? I've already eaten half a box and was happy that I've lost weight. Now you tell me that there might be problems with my heart and nerves. What should I do now?"

……

Faced with netizens' doubts, anti-counterfeiting bloggers such as Xin Jifei and Wang Dahai quickly posted videos to clarify the matter.

To sum it up in one sentence, they did not know that this "X ingredient" could cause heart and nerve damage, and the inspection agency did not tell them.

People who often use the Internet know that netizens are most easily led by the rhythm. They don’t care whether the "X ingredient" can really damage the heart and nerves. In order to avoid possible risks, they quickly apply for a refund.

Early in the morning, Yang Chen received a call from Chang Sheng.

"Hey, Mr. Yang, something bad has happened. I don't know who is behind this. Suddenly, many bloggers appeared and said that the unknown ingredients in our slimming pills can damage the heart and nerves. Users who have already purchased the pills have applied for returns. What should we do now?" Chang Sheng said anxiously.

"Oh, I see." Yang Chen said calmly.

Chang Sheng was greatly surprised. For such a serious matter, Yang Chen actually reacted like this. Shouldn't he be very anxious?

Chang Sheng quickly said, "Director Yang, I may not have made it clear just now. Let me say it again, it is..."

Yang Chen interrupted immediately, "I heard you clearly, you said someone paid someone to discredit our product. Don't worry, someone will naturally help us solve the problem. Believe it or not, the ones who are most worried now are not us, but the creditors of Jiangcheng City Government and Sihai Group? We have finally come up with a product with the potential to make a lot of money, and they are all waiting for us to make money and repay their debts after it sells well. How can we allow someone to discredit us at this time? Wait, the truth will soon be revealed, and everyone will know who is behind it."

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Really... can it really be like this?"

“Haha… Don’t worry, I’m not in a hurry, so you don’t have to be in a hurry either. I’ll sleep a little longer, and then I’ll hang up.” Yang Chen said nonchalantly.

Chang Sheng said to himself: "Director Yang is too optimistic. Will the Jiangcheng City Government and the creditors really take the initiative to help us solve this problem?"
