Chapter 134 – Churning out gold (2)
Fang JunRong met up with Zhang ZhiSu when the Zhang’s and Li WangJin were pouring every ounce of their effort into producing the Beautify Pills, err, the Cherry Blossom Pills.
This time they were meeting at a villa in City S.
Compared to the previous time that they’ve met, Zhang ZhiSu looked much better and was no longer pale like jade like he used to be. He smiled slightly at Fang JunRong. “Miss Fang.”
Fang JunRong trusted that he set up this meeting because he had tried the White Jade Cream. She, too, returned with a slight smile. “I trust that I will be able to see you up on your feet at our next meeting.”
The smile on Zhang ZhiSu became more sincere. “Thank you, Miss Fang, for your White Jade Cream. And the Detoxification Pills as well.”
“Eh?”
The way he put it suggested that he was also poisoned earlier?
It was apparent that Zhang ZhiSu did not want to elaborate on the subject. He skipped to a different subject directly, “I have reflected this to the others and they have started clinical trials on your drugs and we will have the results shortly.”
“If all goes well, we will be able to put them onto the market this year.”
He pushed a contract over in front Fang JunRong. She opened up the document and it was about the transfer of shares of Gaoyuan Corporation. Listing on it was the transfer of 8% of their shares over to her. Gaoyuan Corporation was a government-run enterprise mainly focusing on Chinese medicines, Chinese herbal medicines, and chemico-pharmaceutical preparations. Their medicines were usually kept at a very reasonable price and were well-liked by the public.
Fang JunRong felt relieved. The deal was better than she had expected. Backed by the country, there was no doubt about the future of the enterprise. At least nobody would dare touching it. 8% was a good amount. She figured that she’d very well be the second biggest shareholder of the company.
She was in no shortage of money, but she also wasn’t going to turn it down when opportunities came knocking either.
Nodding, she said, “Thank you.”
Then, Zhang ZhiSu said to her, “You can also start applying as the one of the best entrepreneurs in the country as well.”
Fang JunRong was taken aback a little then her smile deepened. “Thank you.”
She was already one of the best entrepreneurs of City S a few years ago, but she has yet to earn the title of best entrepreneur in the country. The title would, doubtless, be an assurance of her ability. It was not something that money could buy.
Thinking of that, even someone as calm as her was starting to feel elated. She started humming. After a little while, she realized that this was not the time and place and stopped herself.
“You’re humming Fate of the Stars?” asked Zhang ZhiSu.
That was a song that was released by the empress singer a year ago and was extremely popular.
Fang JunRong’s lips twitched, “… yes, it is.”
She hadn’t hummed in a long time and had forgotten how tone deaf she was. She refused to admit that she was humming an entirely different song.
***
The shopping festival in November was a very popular buy, buy, buy festival in China. Transactions on this day could reach upward of hundreds of billion yuan. It could be seen as the day for all businesses to demonstrate their abilities. Most of the time, the promotional activities would begin at the end of October.
Many businesses came out with promotions that were difficult to resist.
All of Fang JunRong’s fans were screaming and crying that they wanted more Beautify Pills on her Weibo. Even if there was no discount, releasing tens of thousands more boxes would be nice too! The monthly allotment was simply not enough to go around.
Many were skeptical before they’ve tried the product and felt that it was an IQ tax. They stood corrected after they had tried it and all joined the rank of the water army.
Yet they had waited for days but still did not hear a peep from the official Weibo. No discount, no additional releases. It’s noble and glamorous style was both loved and hated by their fans.
