Chapter 738 A Second Thought Incurred Profound Fear

After Siqi Pharmaceutical Company and Taikang Pharmaceutical Company were exposed, every netizen rained curses on them on the Internet. Even though the two companies tried giving immediate explanations and even issued letters from their lawyers on Weibo, the media and netizens still did not buy it.

The opinions of the public, much like a deflated balloon that had been reinflated, were expanding at an extremely fast pace.

Due to this, the stock prices of Siqi Pharmaceutical Company and Taikang Pharmaceutical Company hit the limit down threshold that afternoon!

Many medical agencies and large supermarkets took the drugs from these two companies off from their shelves and returned them to the original factory.

These bombshells, which dropped one after the other, stunned Yang Ningyuan and Li Qihua, who had been waiting to see how Fang Qiu would bring down these two listed companies.

In Yang Ningyuan’s home in Jianghang:

Hearing the reports about the messages on the Internet from the steward, Yang Ningyuan looked at Li Qihua in horror and asked, “Fang Qiu doesn’t have that much power, does he?”

Li Qihua inhaled deeply in shock and said, “There must be someone behind these events! Otherwise, he would not have made such a big move and even released such a tight chain of evidence.”

Yang Ningyuan heaved a long sigh of relief and said, “It seems that we have seriously underestimated him.”

“Yeah.”

Li Qihua nodded, with a serious expression on his face, and said, “In fact, what matters is not what we see on the surface.”

“Then what do you think matters?”

Yang Ningyuan raised his eyebrows and said, “I think the reason why Fang Qiu is so sure that Siqi and Taikang will be bankrupt is because he has all the evidence and has handed it to the media, so that these media outlets can make it public at the right time. That’s why it has such a terrible effect now.”

“When do you think is the right time?” Li Qihua asked.

“Hmm?”

Yang Ningyuan’s expression changed and he could not suppress the shock in his eyes. At the same time, he gaped as he said, “Do you mean that the timing was chosen by Fang Qiu himself? He came to me a day earlier because he knew that today, the Capital Public Security Bureau would announce the arrest of ‘Mr. Yang’.”

“That’s what I mean.”

Li Qihua nodded with certainty and added, “That’s just one point.

“Judging from the whole thing, it’s clear that Fang Qiu knew exactly when this matter would occur, so he came to negotiate with you in advance. His purpose was simply to get you to take over these two companies, but I don’t quite understand why he wanted you to do that.

“Besides, don’t you think this whole thing had been divided into several segments and each step was intended to be a ticking time bomb that would destroy Siqi and Taikang?”

When he heard Li Qihua’s question, Yang Ningyuan immediately frowned, nodded gently, and began to mull over the incident.

“Fang Qiu first came to you. After you decided to take over the two companies, the next day there came the news that ‘Mr. Yang’ had been arrested and then the media outlets began to expose relevant issues. The key point must be the media. We all know that it’s not just one media outlet, nor is it a small media outlet that has exposed the dirty secrets of these two companies.

“Let’s take a closer look. The information obtained by these media outlets is different and almost every media outlet has announced some kind of corruption taking place. That would mean that they received the evidence in advance. After the whole incident, those media outlets exposed those dirty secrets, one by one.

“I think it’s like a bunch of firecrackers. If the first one does not explode, the second one will not explode. But if the first one explodes, then all the crackers will follow suit!”

Yang Ningyuan nodded.

Indeed, that was what had happened.

“There’s more.”

Li Qihua pursed his lips and said, “Don’t forget what kind of pharmaceutical companies Siqi and Taikang are. Since they can make and sell medicine, it means that they have a good relationship with the higher-ups. Don’t forget they had been exposed by Fang Qiu before for drug quality issues. The fact that these two companies were able to get their drugs on the market even though they had quality problems shows that they have quite a high level of ‘pull’ with the authorities.

“However, in the face of these continuous bombshells, these two companies are now extremely powerless. With their connections and financial resources, it should be a piece of cake to silence the media. Nevertheless, they failed this time. Not only did the media disrespect them, but they could not even be bought.”

When Yang Ningyuan heard this, his eyes widened and he was a little astonished.

“Whether it’s a coincidence or a scheme, the fact that the Capital Public Security Bureau chose today to expose the arrest of “Mr. Yang”, must have something to do with Fang Qiu,” Li Qihua said.

“Hiss…”

Yang Ningyuan took a deep breath and secretly admired Li Qihua. Meanwhile, he was also startled by Li Qihua’s analysis.

“It seems that Fang Qiu is not merely a sophomore with a good reputation and excellent medical skills.”

Exhaling deeply, Yang Ningyuan said with a bitter smile, “It seems that we’ll have to regard him as our peer in the future.”

The situation was far from over.

The next day, as soon as the stock market opened, the stock prices of Siqi Pharmaceutical Company and Taikang Pharmaceutical Company hit the limit down threshold again in just five minutes!

In this situation, all the shareholders could not help cursing in anger.

They wanted to sell the stocks, but they could not!

In the capital, the police station where the rumor monger “Mr. Yang” was detained, was packed with reporters.

As soon as the director of the Public Security Bureau showed up, some reporter immediately walked forward and asked, “Director Zhang, is it because of Fang Qiu that you have arrested the rumor-monger?”

“Of course not.”

Hearing the reporter’s question, Director Zhang shook his head with a smile and said, “We did not make a criminal arrest against ‘Mr. Yang’ because of Fang Qiu. I’ve also seen some news about Fang Qiu being defamed by the paid Internet trolls hired by ‘Mr. Yang’. But Fang Qiu’s case is a private matter and he himself did not report it to the police, so we can’t help him to investigate it, let alone help him to have ‘Mr. Yang’ arrested. Criminal detention applies only to offenders caught in flagrante delicto or serious suspects, or offenders under statutory emergency circumstances. Therefore, it has nothing to do with Fang Qiu. It was just a lucky break for him at most.”

The reporters were all excited to see the director break with his usual reticence and be more receptive to their queries. Their questions started coming, thick and fast.

To their surprise, the director was unusually cooperative and he spoke unreservedly and his attitude was fantastic.

When the netizens saw the interviews on the Internet, everyone praised him wholeheartedly.

…

In a VIP meeting room of a hotel:

“Commander Zuo.”

A young man in his thirties looked at Commander Zuo, who was sitting beside him with a serious expression on his face. He frowned and asked soberly, “What, what should we do?”

Commander Zuo snorted, glanced at the young man, and asked, “Why are you so anxious? You did not seem to care about your father’s legacy, gained by hard toil, before, did you?”

The young man was He Yilu. Although he looked young, he was the chairman of Taikang Pharmaceutical Company.

Taikang Pharmaceutical Company had been built by his father, He Chunhui. Five years ago, He Chunhui died of an illness. His mother died of a broken heart two years later. He was the only son, so he took over Taikang Pharmaceutical Company. Since there were many founding members in the company helping him to manage it, the business was not affected and the company continued to thrive.

Those founding members only knew that He Yilu was a prodigal, but they did not expect him to fork out so much money to smear Fang Qiu’s reputation.

The company was doomed this time.

“Hehe…”

Beside them, a bald, fat man said while sipping his tea, “Why did you bother starting these rumors? What’s the use of revealing things about Fang Qiu?”

Commander Zuo’s face was cold. He said, “I knew I couldn’t trust that man. I should have sent him abroad when I found something wrong!”

He Yilu hurriedly asked, “Is it too late? Bail him out and send him away!”

Commander Zuo shook his head and said, “It’s too late. There’s no way we can get him out, especially now that the situation has become so serious.”

“Then what should we do?”

He Yilu was anxious.

“Yeah.”

The fat man also frowned and asked, “So, what are you going to do next? Currently, the public opinion is not favorable for either of your companies.”

Commander Zuo thought for a moment and said, “Now we can only resort to using a public relations company. No matter how much it costs, we must find the best public relations company in the country and even in the world and see how we can deal with this crisis.”

…

In a factory at the foot of an unknown mountain in Jiangjing:

“Beep, beep, beep…”

Fang Qiu, who had just returned, suddenly received a call from Li Ji.

“Hello?”

Fang Qiu answered.

Li Ji’s voice came from the other end of the line. He said, “Good news. Not only has your request been granted, but the land has also been selected for you.”

“Thank you.”

Fang Qiu thanked him.

“Why don’t you find a time to come and have a look?” Li Ji asked.

“I’ll bring some people over right away and call you when we get there,” Fang Qiu replied.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Li Ji nodded and hung up.

After putting his phone away, Fang Qiu shouted to everyone in the factory, “Everybody, pack up. Follow me to Beijiang to have a look at the land.”

Hearing that, Mr. Zhao’s eyes lit up.

Zhu Benzheng and the other two were also delighted.

“I’ve been wanting to go to the desert for a long time and I’ve always dreamed of biking to the desert after graduating from college. Now, this rare opportunity is knocking at my door.”

Sun Hao was thrilled.

Zhou Xiaotian and Zhu Benzheng were on cloud nine.

The fifth-grade interns were equally delighted.

This was the first field trip in their lives. It was not easy for them to get such a good opportunity during their internship.

While everyone was packing up, Fang Qiu used his mobile phone to buy plane tickets on the Internet after calculating the number of people.

.

Soon, the group of people flew straight to Beijiang.

After the plane landed in Beijiang in the afternoon, Fang Qiu called Li Ji immediately.

After learning that Fang Qiu had a group of people with him, Li Ji managed to get a minibus and drove over to pick Fang Qiu and the others.

When they met, Li Ji was wearing a mask.

The group of people got on the bus.

Li Ji drove to the edge of the desert. There was a piece of land that had been used for sand prevention and some haloxylon ammondendron trees were planted on the grounds.

After walking around the field, Li Ji asked, “How is it?”

Fang Qiu turned to ask Zhao Shanlin, “Mr. Zhao, what do you think?”

Zhao Shanlin nodded with satisfaction and answered, “Not bad. This piece of land suits us very well.”
