Chapter 135 - Churning out gold (3)

Fang JunRong felt that if she lifted the limit right now, itd be very unfair for those who had been raffling this entire time. As a fair person, shed naturally only provide the extra benefits on her daughters birthday.

While she was ignoring all of the comments, Li WangJin was readying himself for making himself known. After half a month of around-the-clock production, his company had already churned out 600,000 boxes of Cherry Blossom Pills. Their inventory would increase by several folds by the time of the Shopping Festival. That would be more than enough for the shoppers to buy to their hearts content.

He was already rubbing his palms together and getting ready to dominate this market.

At 10 PM, he released a new Weibo post and re-opened the comment area.

[One million boxes of Beautify Pills in two weeks time. First come first serve.]

Two weeks later would be the once-a-year Shopping Festival.

A few minutes later, he deleted this message and replaced it with a new one.

[A year ago, there was a beautiful young woman here adorned by the beautiful cherry blossoms.* One million boxes of Cherry Blossom Pills in two weeks time. First come first serve.]

Did Li WangJin mistyped inadvertently? Of course not! He did that on purpose. His product was Cherry Blossom Pills, but he purposefully suggested that his product was essentially Beautify Pills. His purpose was to attract the attention of the existing Beautify Pills customers. Fang JunRong had leeched off of his popularity too many times in the past. He would use the same trick this time!

He even paid for water army for a # Beautify Pills Cherry Blossom Pills # news to go up onto the most trending list.

His trick worked. The news was quickly brought down to its knees by the netizens that it had attracted.

[Luckily I took a screen capture right away. Li WangJin said Beautify Pills, right? So hes selling the same product as Fang JunRong?]

[They had only been divorced for a few months, so itd make sense that he has access to the same formula. Perhaps he had finally overcome the technical difficulty and thats why he only started selling them now.]

[Hohoho. I dont care. No way I will give a penny to a scum like him.]

[If his Cherry Blossom Pills are indeed the same as Beautify Pills, why does it matter which ones to get? At least I dont have to go through raffling or compete with others if I buy from Li WangJin. For sure I will be buying a few boxes as gifts.]

There were all sorts of comments under Li WangJins post. Many saw that Li WangJin never came out to clarify anything and started leaning toward the speculation that his product was essentially Beautify Pills.

The water army hired by Li WangJin further acted like people in the industry who had insider information to share. They expressed that it took Li WangJin so long to push out his product because he was working with the Zhangs, the family that had been in the medical field for generations, to better the product. Alluding to the fact that Li WangJins Cherry Blossom Pills were better than Fang JunRongs Beautify Pills.

With the water army there guiding the direction of the conversation, all of the melon eaters were baffled.

Even though the trend of #Beautify Pills Cherry Blossom Pills# was paid for by Li WangJin at the beginning, by the second half of the night, it was trending upward organically.

As much as a lot of the netizens were crying out loud about boycotting Li WangJin, more people didnt care about Li WangJins reputation at all. Whoever that has the milk were their mothers. Theyd root for anyone whod be able to provide them with the best products. Many of Li WangJins mistake in his relationship was, therefore, easily forgiven.

Li WangJin watches the popularity of his upcoming product continue to come online. He pictured how Fang JunRong must be jumping up and down in anger and felt like someone who had just drank a cold beverage on the hottest day of summer.
