Chapter 337: The Hangu Group, which was once an ant, became the king
In recent days, Mr. Ma's mood has been fluctuating a lot.
A few days ago, he smashed all the valuables in the office, and two days later, Mr. Ma's bright smile returned to his face.
Who knew that the good times wouldn’t last long.
It's been less than a week and Mr. Ma has been pissed off by someone again.
He started smashing things in the office again.
Secretary Wang hurried to the general manager's office with a few documents in his hand. Unlike his usual calm and capable demeanor, Secretary Wang looked particularly solemn today.
Everyone secretly speculated that something big might have happened.
And it’s probably something bad.
Those female white-collar workers are unmatched in their gossip skills and have already started discussing the matter quietly.
Boom boom boom!
Secretary Wang knocked on the door.
"Boss Ma, it's me!"
Secretary Wang knew the rules of Ma Wangcai's temper and smashing things. In the whole company, except for him, a male secretary, anyone else who entered the general manager's office at this time would be looking for death.
Because Mr. Ma also wants to save face.
You definitely don’t want your employees to see you smashing things or losing your temper.
On weekdays, Mr. Ma always maintains a majestic, cold and noble appearance in front of his employees, like a god who is not affected by worldly affairs.
If his employees suddenly saw him smashing things like a madman in the office, wouldn’t the majestic image he had created be destroyed?
Therefore, the smartest thing to do is to pretend that you know nothing.
To satisfy Mr. Ma's temper tantrum.
"Come in!"
Ma Wangcai's cold voice was heard.
"Mr. Ma, according to the latest information I have obtained, Li Quan not only used the power of the police to clarify the matter of being attacked by anti-fans. At the end of the press conference, he also used his own name to vigorously advertise for Yanhuang Pharmaceutical's weight loss pills. Although only a few media have published it now, I dare to assert that by then, Yanhuang Pharmaceutical's weight loss pills will surely rise strongly and even become popular all over the country."
Secretary Wang bravely reported the latest intelligence he had obtained.
After hearing this , Ma Wangcai's face was filled with anger.
He picked up an antique Han Dynasty inkstone and pen holder on the table and smashed it to the ground.
Bang!
At least tens of thousands of dollars were lost.
After smashing the antique, Ma Wangcai felt a little better and the anger on his face faded a little.
"I've known for a long time that Li Quan is a disaster. A few days ago, he was suspended from the hospital and punished by the Health Bureau. He was also criticized by thousands of people online.
It can be said that I stepped into a mud pit.
How did he get up?
And it got up so quickly.”
When Ma Wangcai mentioned Li Quan, he couldn't help but feel angry.
He shouldn't have underestimated Li Quan in the first place.
Otherwise, the current situation would not have happened.
"That Li Quan is really capable. He only has over 2 million fans on Douyin, but he put up two small ads that were worth tens of millions of dollars. This time, even the police came to the scene in person to clarify things for him and help him restore his reputation. This is something that not everyone can do."
Secretary Wang looked thoughtful.
"Damn it, I should have bribed a drunk driver to hit that guy to death." Ma Wangcai's gangster nature came back.
In his eyes, as long as he can achieve his goal and as long as he can pay for it, he will do it.
They don't care about whether it is legal or not.
It can only be said that he has been teetering on the edge of the law for these years, and each time he escaped danger, it actually made him achieve great success. Over time, he became even more indifferent to the law.
Secretary Wang didn't dare to respond.
If someone hires someone to kill someone, he is the mastermind. If he is found out by the police, he will at least be sentenced to life imprisonment.
The death penalty is more likely .
He understood his boss's temperament, and he knew even more about his boss's madness.
At this time, the boss was very angry. As soon as he answered the question, Ma Wangcai would immediately ask him to make arrangements.
If he dares to refuse, he will most likely be fired.
"Keep a close eye on Yanhuang Pharmaceutical for a while to see how many shipments it will have tomorrow. Damn it, I spent nearly 200 million yuan on advertising for weight loss pills, but this shameless guy He Youlong took advantage of me. I can't swallow this."
As Ma Wangcai spoke, he became angry again.
"Didn't I ask you to arrange two people a few days ago to take Yanhuang Pharmaceutical's weight loss pills and then make a big fuss? Why haven't you done anything yet?"
Ma Wangcai asked coldly.
"We must find reliable candidates for this matter. I must be cautious. I have selected several people, but I am still observing them. I will use them only when I am sure they are reliable. Can you give me a few more days?"
Secretary Wang is very experienced in handling matters like this.
Haven't failed yet.
This is also the reason why he was able to stay with Ma Wangcai for so many years.
"Well, this matter can easily get you into trouble, so you really need to find someone you can rely on." Ma Wangcai nodded, but didn't urge him any further.
"Mr. Ma, by the way, I have another important matter to report to you." Secretary Wang quickly changed the subject.
"When did you become like a sheep taking a shit? If you have to fart, do it now." Ma Wangcai was in a bad mood and he didn't have a good attitude towards Secretary Wang.
This is like the ancient emperors who treated the eunuchs around them like dogs.
If he is unhappy, he will order people to drag him out and chop him up.
"Just half an hour ago, several channel dealers came to us to return goods." Secretary Wang said cautiously.
"Return goods? Why would you suddenly return them for no reason?" Ma Wangcai raised his eyebrows like a sword.
"When asked the reason, they were all evasive. The excuses they gave were varied. Some said their father was sick and they needed money urgently. Some said their children were admitted to foreign universities and they needed to raise money to study abroad. Some said their mistress wanted to buy a car and they needed money urgently..."
When talking about the reasons for returns given by these channel dealers, Secretary Wang looked helpless.
"What a mess of reasons! There must be something wrong here." Ma Wangcai has been doing business for so many years and immediately realized that this matter was unusual.
Could it be because those channel dealers saw Li Quan’s latest advertisement?
Even so, there is no need to return the weight loss pills from Hangu Group immediately.
Just then, Secretary Wang's cell phone rang.
"Mr. Ma, excuse me, I have to answer the phone." Secretary Wang walked to the corner of the office and answered the phone.
His expression gradually became more serious.
After ending the call, he looked at Ma Wangcai with some guilt.
Unexpectedly, Ma Wangcai was staring at him coldly.
The two looked at each other, and Secretary Wang was so scared that he shivered and almost dropped his phone to the ground.
"What's the matter?" Ma Wangcai's eyes were extremely terrifying, vicious and cold.
Like a wild lion.
He will eat people if they disagree with him.
"Mr. Ma, the finance department just called and said that another group of channel dealers came to return goods. And the number of returned goods far exceeded yesterday's shipment volume. This means that they also returned the goods they purchased a few days ago."
Secretary Wang said tremblingly.
Pharmaceutical companies and channel dealers have a cooperative relationship.
When a new drug like this comes to the market, in order to allay the concerns of channel dealers, a very favorable guarantee is generally given.
And it will be written into the agreement when the channel dealer purchases the goods.
For example, the price is guaranteed within 30 days.
What does this mean? That is, if you do not sell the product within 30 days, you can return it to the manufacturer unconditionally and the manufacturer will buy it back at your purchase price.
Some offer even better deals, with a warranty period of more than 45 days.
"Damn it, these cunning distributors are lining up to return the goods. They are even returning the stock from the past few days. This means they have already taken back the goods they had sold and are returning them all together."
"Check it out right away to see what went wrong?"
"That bastard He Youlong has been sitting on the Diaoyutai for the past few days without making any moves. I was wondering what he was doing, and it turns out he had the same idea as me. It's very likely that he has bribed someone in advance and deliberately caused trouble after taking our diet pills."
Ma Wangcai judged others by himself and the first thing he thought of was that He Youlong was doing something behind the scenes.
Someone was hired to deliberately ruin the reputation of Han Gu Group's weight loss drugs.
"I'll do it right away!"
Secretary Wang immediately walked outside.
A large number of channel dealers have returned products, which is a very serious matter.
But less than ten seconds after Secretary Wang walked out, he ran back again, his face full of panic and fear.
"Boss Ma, something bad has happened. Many police officers have come to our Hangu Group's building ."
Secretary Wang has done quite a few bad things over the years.
The first thing he thought of was that the police were coming to arrest him.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ma Wangcai felt as if he was electrocuted. His body shuddered violently and then he collapsed in the chair.
"Bring me a set of cleaning clothes right now. The more worn out the better." Ma Wangcai almost shouted.
Secretary Wang knew what the boss meant as soon as he heard it.
"Okay, I'll get it right away."
After Secretary Wang left the office, five minutes passed and he still hadn't returned.
Ma Wangcai called Secretary Wang, but the phone was turned off.
He had to run outside the office to check it out himself.
Just then a female white-collar worker passed by the door.
"Hello, Mr. Ma!"
Female white-collar workers are like lambs in front of Ma Wangcai.
"Have you seen Secretary Wang?" Ma Wangcai looked dignified.
"He just borrowed a set of clothes from the cleaning man and then went down the corridor. Do you have anything to do with Secretary Wang?" the female white-collar worker asked respectfully.
"roll!"
Ma Wangcai shouted angrily, scaring the female white-collar worker so much that she turned pale and ran away in panic.
Secretary Wang probably realized that something was wrong and had already abandoned his boss and ran away.
Just then, Ma Wangcai's cell phone rang.
Ma Wangcai was already furious. First, his diet pills were returned in large quantities, and then he learned that a large number of police surrounded the office building of Hangu Group. Now he was betrayed by his most trusted secretary.
He was so angry that he saw stars and his head was buzzing.
According to his thinking, the call must have been from Secretary Wang.
"Secretary Wang, you bastard, you ran away first. I was so good to you..."
"Mr. Ma, I'm not your secretary Wang. It's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect that Mr. Ma's temper has worsened." A cold voice full of sarcasm came.
"You, you are Li Quan?"
Ma Wangcai figured it out just by listening to the sound.
"Haha, Mr. Ma has a good memory. Thank you for remembering me, a little ant that you can crush to death at will." Li Quan is now acting like a king while making this call to Ma Wangcai.
After being framed by Ma Wangcai time and time again, Li Quan must give him a call to bid him farewell.
“Damn it, stop showing off in front of me. No matter how unlucky I am, I am still a thousand times better than a trash like you.” Ma Wangcai roared.
Smoke started coming out of the top of my head.
He was in trouble everywhere and was feeling very upset.
Li Quan knew how to choose the right time, and he showed off his pride in front of him at this time.
"Haha, that's right, I'm a small fry. But if you say you're ten thousand times better than me, I'm afraid that will disappoint Mr. Ma again. According to Brother He's estimate, the conservative sales volume of our Yanhuang Pharmaceutical's weight loss pills this year will exceed four million boxes. I can get 4.99 yuan for one box of endorsement fees. My income from endorsement fees alone is more than 20 million yuan."
Li Quan said with a smile.
He also didn't expect that endorsements could make so much money.
At the beginning, he begged Ma Wangcai to be the spokesperson for only 100,000 yuan, but Ma Wangcai refused.
A host of extremely harsh conditions were put forward.
Now, Li Quan has lived a wonderful life and proved his own worth.
According to the endorsement contract he signed with He Youlong, he can still receive endorsement fees for a period of time until the end of his endorsement.
There is only less than half a year left this year, and his endorsement fee will reach 20 million.
If the product continues to sell well next year, the endorsement fee will only be higher.
"Hmph, you refuse to admit that you have never seen the world. Just 20 million, and look how proud you are of it." Ma Wangcai was really a little jealous, and there was a hint of sourness in his words.
"Yes, twenty million is indeed just a small amount of money in the eyes of Mr. Ma. I heard that Hangu Group's annual gross profit is over one billion yuan. It is estimated that the profit that goes into Mr. Ma's pocket is as high as one hundred million yuan."
Li Quan was still smiling.
"If Mr. Ma's annual income is 100 million yuan, then my 20 million yuan endorsement fee is equivalent to one-fifth of your income."
"I'll tell you one more thing, Mr. Ma. I own 40% of Yanhuang Pharmaceutical's weight loss pills. That's pure dry stock. When the time comes, 40% of the total profit from the sale of weight loss pills will belong to me. Do you think this money will exceed 100 million?"
Li Quan asked with a smile.
"You, who are you trying to fool? How could He Youlong, such a smart man, give you 40% of the shares for no reason?" Ma Wangcai didn't believe it at all.
"Boss Ma is wrong. It was Brother He who begged me to cooperate with him. I agreed to the 40% stake because Brother He is a good person. If it were you, Boss Ma, you would probably give me 80% of the shares. I would have to think about it."
While Li Quan clarified the facts, he did not forget to strike back at Ma Wangcai.
"You...did you give the secret recipe of Yanhuang Pharmaceutical's weight loss pills?" Ma Wangcai is not stupid either.
This reminds me of the press conference held at Weyer Hospital this morning.
Li Quan even developed a traditional Chinese medicine for treating leukemia.
With Li Quan's ability, it is really possible for him to develop a pure Chinese herbal weight loss drug.
"Haha, Mr. Ma guessed right. As a reward, I'll tell you one more thing." Li Quan said lightly.
Ma Wangcai's body shook a few times, and he held on to the desk before he could barely stand steady.
With Ma Wangcai's cunning and shrewdness, he had already secretly learned about Yanhuang Pharmaceutical's weight-loss drugs and had them specially inspected by the pharmaceutical factory's inspection department.
He knew very well that Yanhuang Pharmaceutical's weight loss drugs could beat Hangu Group's weight loss drugs in terms of both efficacy and safety.
Such an amazing weight-loss drug was actually developed by Li Quan.
Ma Wangcai felt regretful in his heart.
It would have been great if I had not been so scheming about the endorsement and had chosen to cooperate with Li Quan.
Originally, one hundred thousand yuan was nothing to Ma Wangcai.
But that's his character. If he can exploit the other party by 70%, he will never exploit only 60%.
At that time, he also thought that he had Li Quan in his grasp.
Who would have thought that Li Quan was so stubborn that he would rather die than surrender, and ultimately did not cooperate with him.
This is equivalent to pushing Li Quan to He Youlong.
It was this major mistake that allowed He Youlong to obtain Li Quan's secret recipe for weight loss pills and receive a lot of help from Li Quan.
Hangu Group fought against Yanhuang Pharmaceutical and suffered a series of setbacks.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a complete failure.
"Boss Ma, who discovered that there was something wrong with your Hangu Group's weight loss pills? It was me." Li Quan was here to show off. "I believe the police have already arrived at your office building. I have no other intention in calling you. I just know that you will spend the rest of your life in a cell and you may never have the chance to make a phone call again, so I'm calling you one last time in advance."
"Also, I'll give you a final farewell in advance."
After he finished speaking, Li Quan heard a bang before he hung up the phone.
Ma Wangcai's roar has become much quieter.
It seems that the phone was dropped.
"Bang!"
There was another loud bang. It was estimated that Ma Wangcai was smashing a very heavy object.
"Damn it, Li Quan, you bastard, I'll fuck your mother... I'll smash you to death..."
Ma Wangcai was smashing things frantically.
Li Quan felt happy no matter how he listened to it.
Looking at the once powerful enemy, looking at the enemy whom I once hated to the core, and being mad at him, there is no more refreshing and comfortable thing in the world than this.
After I heard the phone being hit more than a dozen times, the sound suddenly stopped.
"It's out already? Or is Ma Wangcai tired of smashing things? It seems that Ma Wangcai's fighting ability is not good enough." Li Quan shook his head and hung up the phone.
This time he and He Youlong attacked at the same time.
Li Quan held a press conference at Huier Hospital to clear his name and advertise Yanhuang Pharmaceutical's weight loss pills.
He Youlong, on the other hand, reported to the public security bureau the illegal fact that Han Gu Group's weight loss pills were suspected of being mixed with drug-like chemical drugs.
With these two approaches, the Hangu Group was completely defeated.
The fall of this behemoth has become inevitable.
Li Quan had finally avenged himself and let out some of his anger.
He no longer has to worry about Ma Wangcai framing him again.
…
In the conference room of Yuanyang Hospital, the hospital leaders gathered together. What were they doing?
Everyone was watching the explosive news on TV about how Huier Hospital cured leukemia with traditional Chinese medicine.
Dean Jia’s face is longer than a donkey’s.
The beautiful and charming Gu Qian from the Propaganda Department was shocked to see the young man standing on the stage delivering his paper. She once again recognized this young doctor who had once embarrassed her.
But at this moment, Li Quan was even more impressive than the last time he met the American experts.
Even those American experts have become his foils.
