Chapter 321 - As Blind as a Bat (1/2)
Chapter 321 As Blind as a BatWang Dacheng’s reply was short, but the sensitive journalists had already smelled the trace of a war, which made them excited.
The establishment of Tangmen Traditional Chinese Medicine Company was already headline news at this moment, but the establishment of the Celestial Land Hall of Medical Fame became another headline. If the two collided and sparked, that would be bigger news that the journalists could only dream of.
“Mr. Wang, I have a question about what you just said. Is this the declaration of a challenge to Tangmen Traditional Chinese Medicine Company?”
“Challenge?” Wang Dacheng smiled disdainfully and said, “Tangmen Company has been established for only a few days, and their only product is the Blood Revival Elixir. I don’t think there’s anything worth challenging. They are an industry competitor at best.”
“But Mr. Wang, Tangmen has a Chinese medicine genius called the Medical Sage. It is believed that important products will be developed by them in the future.”
Che Xiaoxiao felt that Wang Dacheng had said too much. She kept winking at him, only to be ignored.
He continued to speak. “We don’t care about titles like Medical Sage, Medical Lord, Medical God, or anything like that, but we do have lots of excellent Chinese medicine practitioners. At 9 o’clock tomorrow morning, our doctors will be waiting for you at the Healthy Square to diagnose you for free. We welcome you to witness the merits of our doctors.”
“Mr. Wang, the Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association has just announced that they will provide volunteer service at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning at Healthy Square. They chose the same time and place. What are the implications behind that? Is that a hint of competition?”
Wang Dacheng smiled and replied, “You’re thinking too much. This is a coincidence. As for who is better, our patients will have the final say!”
Qin Haodong took Lin Momo back to Tangmen Company and drove to the Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. Gao Fengwen was quite an efficient old man. After buying the primary school, he already planned on building a new office building.
“President Qin, here you are!”
Upon seeing Qin Haodong arrive, Gao Fengwen showed him his temporary office. Shen Xiangfu and Zhong Sihai were also there.
Qin Haodong sat down and asked, “How’s tomorrow’s volunteer clinic going?”
Gao Fengwen answered. “We’re ready. All our 78 members will be at Healthy Square, whose name conforms to the theme of our activity. Everything will start at 9 a.m.”
“Alright.” Qin Haodong nodded and added, “What about publicity? Have you spread the news?”
Shen Xiangfu said, “We’ve done things properly. All the main media have released the news about our volunteer clinic. I had some of my students handle online publicity. They did a great job.”
They were talking while watching a young man in his twenties ran inside and yell at Shen Xiangfu, “Master, something is wrong!”
Shen Xiangfu complained, “What’s the panic for? Don’t you see the president’s here?”
The young man glanced at Qin Haodong and said awkwardly, “Master, the Hall of Medical Fame held a press conference just now and Wang Dacheng spoke ill of us. They’ll hold a free clinic at Health Square at 9: 00 tomorrow morning. That’s a challenge to us.”
“Is that so?” Shen Xiangfu said, “Any videos? Show us!”
“Yes.” The young man put his phone on the table and hit the play button. On the screen was Wang Dacheng, who was answering the journalists’ questions during the press conference.
Gao Wenfeng pounded the desk after he saw the video and uttered angrily, “Shame on him! How dare he insult the skills of the Medical Sage! Is there anyone in the Celestial Land who can do better than the Medical Sage?”
Zhong Sihai agreed. “He’s too arrogant. A medicine as good as the Blood Revival Elixir? How’s that possible?”
Shen Xiangfu shook his head and said, “He dared to make such an arrogant promise because he knows nothing about the industry. He knows nothing about Chinese medicine, let alone how precious the Blood Revival Elixir is.”
Qin Haodong was the only one who smiled after watching the video. He knew Wang Dacheng was venting his anger about being rejected by him.
Shen Xiangfu said, “President Qin, why are you smiling at this disrespectful guy?”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “It’s fine. We should let our professional skills speak for us. I hope he can fulfill his promise of developing some great medicine so that he can promote the influence of traditional Chinese medicine among the public.”
Zhong Sihai said, “That’s tricky. No one has ever developed a magical medicine like the Blood Revival Elixir like you, let alone an amateur like him.”
Qin Haodong said, “I think the Hall of Medical Fame is a good idea. They gathered the best doctors to make full use of their wisdom. That’s just like our Chinese Medicine Practitioner Association. There’s strength in unity.”
Shen Xiangfu said, “That’s different. How could the Hall of Medical Fame be a match for our association? We gathered to develop Chinese medicine. Our president is an expert who has donated 100 million to the association. Wang Dacheng is investing in the industry because he wants profit. That’s a significant difference.”
Shen Xiangfu said, “The industrialization of traditional Chinese medicine is tricky. Cases were made for it, but all of them failed. I’m wondering why Wang Dacheng, a layman, wants to invest in the industry.”
Zhong Sihai said, “That’s obvious. He envies the Blood Revival Elixir. He thinks he can found the Hall of Medical Fame just like our president established Tangmen Company. People like him envy other people’s success and ignore their own disadvantages.”
