"Xiao Shu, if it weren't for you, Yaoyao and I truly wouldn't have known what to do!" The moment Tang Zhi recalled the lewd gleam in those two men's eyes, she shivered despite herself. If those two had actually gotten their way, the consequences did not bear thinking about!
"Who told them to be so greedy? A million wasn't enough for them." Shen Yushu paused there, then suddenly cried out, "Oh no! We gave them all that money — how are we supposed to buy the Ice Spirit Fruit for Brother Jianpai now?"
"That's no problem. I'll just make a call and have Daddy wire me the money." Gu Mengyao breathed a quiet sigh of relief as well. "As long as everyone's safe, money is a small matter..."
"True enough. Uncle Chu has money!" Shen Yushu nodded.
Gu Mengyao did not dare stop the car again the rest of the way. Only when they reached a small town nearby and checked into a hotel there did the three of them finally set their hearts at ease. This time, at least, they had come through danger unscathed...
But Gu Mengyao and the others, far away in that little town, had no idea that a sensational piece of news had recently broken! Divine Physician Kang Pharmaceutical Company had undergone a complete overhaul: not only had the prices of all its old products been slashed across the board, but a whole array of new miracle remedies had hit the market!
Among them was Divine Physician Kang's All-Pain Relief, similar to Doctor Guan's Painkiller — but released at only half the price! What was more, at the product launch, Kang Guifeng declared that even this was merely the pre-mass-production price; once mass production began, it would be cheaper still!
In effect, this was a hint to everyone: our prices are the lowest, and should Doctor Guan's Painkiller undercut us, then Divine Physician Kang will certainly go lower still!
That was not all. Divine Physician Kang Pharmaceutical Company's flagship product, Divine Physician Kang Golden Wound Salve, had also begun cutting its price — again to half that of Doctor Guan's trauma medicine. And on top of that, a deluxe edition of Divine Physician Kang Golden Wound Salve had been released!
It retained every efficacy of the earlier Golden Wound Salve, and could even erase old, stubborn scars! Yet its price was merely on par with the old Golden Wound Salve. In one stroke, the name of Divine Physician Kang Pharmaceutical Company shook the world!
Doctor Guan Pharmaceuticals' products had indeed been selling briskly of late, but Divine Physician Kang Pharmaceutical Company was, after all, a time-honored brand lodged deep in people's hearts. Now that its prices had come down, those patients who had always bought Doctor Guan's trauma medicine and painkillers saw the cheaper Divine Physician Kang Golden Wound Salve and painkillers, and naturally flocked into the arms of Divine Physician Kang!
Even though the Golden Wound Salve's formula had been changed — it was no longer the version containing rare medicinal ingredients — the consumers knew nothing of this. Moreover, the prescriptions the hidden You family had given the Kang family were the fruit of a pharmaceutical house's ceaseless refinement through countless trials; their effects might come a little slower than Doctor Guan Pharmaceuticals' trauma medicine, but with prices so low, they would seize the market in an instant!
And besides, there was the still finer deluxe edition of the Golden Wound Salve standing there for comparison, capable of eradicating old scars completely, at a price merely equal to the former Golden Wound Salve. This great price-cutting promotion set the entire consumer market boiling!
What was more, with the powerful backing of the hidden You family, Divine Physician Kang Pharmaceutical Company rolled out new products one after another, and among them the Divine Physician Kang weight-loss pills were the most successful of all — they met with an excellent reception the moment they launched, and sales climbed steadily higher!
