I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 162 Yang Chen breaks the rules of the game?

The Longguo Ophthalmology Association has received hundreds of complaints from companies related to the ophthalmology industry. They hope that the Ophthalmology Association will ask Sihai Pharmaceutical to raise the price of eye drops to 3 yuan per bottle to leave a way out for other companies in the ophthalmology industry.

The Ophthalmology Association had to take it seriously. President Wu Tong called Yang Chen and explained the situation to him in detail, hoping that Yang Chen could consider the survival issues of other companies and appropriately increase the price of eye drops.

With Yang Chen's temper, it was absolutely impossible for him to pay attention to such a request. He refused very clearly, "Technological progress should bring benefits to the people, and the people should not be made to bear the costs for the so-called development of the industry. Besides, we have already officially announced the price. If I raise the price again, will my reputation of Sihai still be there? I have worked so hard and finally turned Sihai's reputation around. Do you want me to ruin it again? It's not that I look down on them. Is the profit created by the entire ophthalmology industry combined as much as the income created by my product? If they can't keep going, they can change careers. I'm not their father, and I have no obligation to consider whether they can survive."

Wu Tong was very embarrassed. Everything Yang Chen said made sense. The profits created by the entire ophthalmology industry combined were not as much as the profits created by a single product launched by Yang Chen. Why should they ask Yang Chen to ruin his reputation for them?

"Mr. Yang's words leave me speechless. I admit that the profits generated by other companies are not as much as the profits generated by your star product, but other companies and hospitals employ many employees. If they can't continue, what will happen to these employees?" Wu Tong said.

Yang Chen smiled and replied: "You made me laugh. There are still many people in the mountainous areas who don't have enough food to eat. When I launch the product, should I take care of how they live? Is this my responsibility? Is this a problem I should consider? The times are always progressing. Thirty years ago, when state-owned enterprises laid off workers, did those people starve to death? People can't just lie in their comfort zone and eat and wait to die. If they starve to death one day, they blame their peers for being too good. Isn't this nonsense? This is my attitude. I'm done."

After saying that, Yang Chen hung up the phone.

Wu Tong sighed helplessly, and then asked his subordinates to reply to various ophthalmology companies and hospitals. Yang Chen was unwilling to increase the price of eye drops, so let them fend for themselves.

After all, this is a matter of life and death for the company, so ophthalmology companies will certainly not sit idly by.

As a result, Aiyan Ophthalmology Group contacted several eye drops and glasses brands, and jointly paid experts to write articles attacking Sihai Eye Drops.

Early in the morning, the famous ophthalmologist Wu Haixu published an article evaluating Sihai eye drops.

Wu Haixu is an authoritative ophthalmologist in Longguo. He has been working in this field for more than 30 years. He is now a doctoral supervisor at the Medical University and also the chief physician of Harmony Hospital. The registration fee for his consultation every Tuesday is as high as 200 Long coins, but it is still in short supply.

Therefore, his articles are particularly authoritative and ordinary people trust him very much.

Wu Haixu's paper is more than 5000 words long, and the main contents can be summarized as follows.

First, it is internationally recognized that myopia cannot be treated with medication and can only be solved by correcting the symptoms or through surgery.

Second, any drug that claims to cure myopia is a fake drug without scientific basis.

Third, he lied that he and his team had tested Sihai’s eye drops, and they were sure that Sihai’s eye drops could only relieve fatigue, but could not cure myopia and hyperopia.

Fourth, I hope that the majority of myopia and hyperopia patients will go to regular ophthalmology hospitals or institutions for professional corrective treatment, and do not easily believe that so-called eye drops can cure them.

Fifth, I hope that relevant departments will strengthen supervision and management and not allow falsely advertised eye drops to be put on the market and harm patients.

Subsequently, Jerry Statham, an ophthalmologist from the Bald Eagle Country, also issued a report on Sihai Eye Drops.

Jerry Statham not only has his own research laboratory, but is also a visiting professor at Harvard Medical School. Ophthalmologists from many countries are his students, so his comments are more authoritative than Wu Haixu's.

Jerry Statham's report has three main points:
First, according to their tests, Sihai eye drops do not contain any special ingredients compared to the eye drops for treating fatigue that are currently sold on the market, so it is impossible for them to cure myopia or hyperopia.

Second, myopia cannot be cured by drugs. This is an international consensus and also the experience summarized from a large number of cases. Any drug that claims to be able to cure it is a liar.

Third, it is recommended that patients with myopia and hyperopia do not waste money on buying Sihai eye drops. They can buy cheap eye drops on the market to relieve eye fatigue and help alleviate symptoms.

The articles of these two experts were promoted to major platforms and media by the bosses of companies such as Aiyan Eye Clinic. Soon, three topics including "Sihai Eye Drops False Advertising", "Sihai Eye Drops Are Fake Medicine", and "Domestic and Foreign Experts Jointly Fight Against Counterfeiting Sihai Eye Drops" were on the hot search list of major platforms.

"Oh my god, we trusted Boss Yang so much, how could he lie to us?"

"No way? Sihai Group has finally reversed its reputation, but it's going to collapse again so soon?"

"How do the first batch of buyers feel? Is it effective?"

"Wu Haixu's registration fee of 200 yuan per patient is still in short supply, which is enough to show his authority in this industry. He said that Sihai Eye Drops is false advertising, which is definitely false advertising."

“Haha… I’m dying of laughter. This has brought shame abroad. Even the bald eagle experts have come to expose the fake. I want to see how Yang Chen will deal with it this time.”

……

Chen Xi hurried to Yang Chen's office and reported: "Director Yang, ophthalmologist Wu Haixu and bald eagle ophthalmologist Jerry Statham published a paper saying that our eye drops are false advertising. Now it has been listed on the hot search list of major platforms, and many netizens are mocking and scolding us. I think there is a pusher behind this matter, otherwise it would not be possible to be on the hot search list of the entire network so quickly."

Yang Chen opened Weibo and read it for a while, then said with a smile: "There must be someone behind this, I guess it's those companies who feel that they can't survive if we take away their business. Damn it, they blame their competitors for being too strong just because they don't have the ability, they are really disgusting."

Chen Xi quickly asked, "Should we issue a notice to warn them not to spread rumors and slander us, or should we just send a lawyer's letter directly?"

Yang Chen shook his head and said, “Don’t pay attention to them. The first batch of people who use our products will tell everyone whether they are effective or not. Once the first wave of word of mouth comes out, their conspiracy will naturally fail.”

Chen Xi said, "That's true, but with the commotion they've caused, many people will be afraid to buy, and many agents will be afraid to bid for the agency rights, and then we'll suffer a huge loss."

"I know what's going on. I will make Wu Haixu and Jerry Statham tell the truth!" Yang Chen said with a smile.

Seeing netizens criticizing Sihai Eye Drops, Wang Binchang, chairman of Aiyan Ophthalmology Group, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as most people believe the false advertising of Sihai Eye Drops, companies like Aiyan Eye Hospital Group will survive.

Director Wang Bin called Wu Haixu and said with a smile: "Director Wu, thank you for your righteous words. Longguo's myopia and hyperopia patients will always remember your kindness!"

Wu Haixu said with a smile: "I have dedicated my whole life to the cause of ophthalmology. My son and daughter have both become ophthalmologists like me. I absolutely cannot watch someone who breaks the rules of the game come in without scruples. If I say he is a liar, he must be a liar!"

The tone is just like those treasure appraisal experts. Even if Qi Baishi's granddaughter takes the painting to be appraised, if they say it is fake, then it is fake. Without their certification, Qi Baishi's granddaughter can't even think of selling the family heirloom as an authentic work. This is what Wu Haixu calls the so-called rule of the game.

Director Wang Bin laughed and said, "Director Wu is absolutely right. We must resolutely say no to scammers! How about it? Are there many patients registering today?"

Wu Haixu said proudly: "I have never seen so few patients. I'm used to it. If Yang Chen really breaks the rules of the game, I will lose dozens of patients in a day. My son and daughter will also be unemployed. They just graduated with a doctorate and started working. Their careers have just begun and can't end like this. You guys should work harder and give Yang Chen a little more strength."

Director Wang Bin quickly said, "I understand, I understand! Director Wu, do you have any good suggestions? I will listen to you."

Wu Haixu said with a smile: "Find a few people who said they felt discomfort in their eyes after using Sihai eye drops and went to the hospital for emergency treatment. Do you understand what I mean? This is the direction, you should plan the details carefully."

Director Wang Bin laughed and said, "It has to be Director Wu. I know what to do. Then I won't bother Director Wu anymore. I'm hanging up."

Director Wang Bin hung up the phone and said to himself, "The old man is more vicious than me... But what he said is indeed a good idea, and it is very easy to implement. Yang Chen, Yang Chen, you are shameless even though I give you face. You insist on forcing us into a desperate situation and cutting off our financial resources. It's like killing our parents. Don't blame me for being cruel." Yang Chen always welcomes fair competition from his competitors. He thinks competition is more fun.

However, Yang Chen will definitely retaliate against Wang Binchang and others for their despicable and shameless behavior, so they won’t have an easy time.

In the evening, platforms such as TikTok and Weibo collectively pushed new news.

A TikTok account with the ID GoldenEye posted a video in which a teenage girl covered her eyes and wailed in pain, while her family told the camera what happened.

The girl's mother cried to the camera and said, "My daughter is 800 degrees myopic. Girls love beauty and don't want to wear glasses. I used Sihai's slimming pills and other products before and the effect was very good. I believed that Sihai eye drops were as effective as slimming pills, so I rushed to buy 5 bottles of eye drops for my daughter. After using up two bottles, my daughter felt pain in her eyes and tears fell involuntarily. Today, she couldn't open her eyes because of the pain. I am sending her to the hospital for treatment. I asked you to come here to expose that Sihai eye drops are fake. I hope that no one else will be harmed. Losing money is a small matter, but having your eyes ruined is a lifelong matter. Alas... I shouldn't have believed in the medicine developed by a real estate company. I have ruined my girl's life. Woo woo..."

The girl’s father pointed at the camera excitedly and cursed: “Yang Chen, you are a fucking bastard. In order to make money to pay off your debts, you made fake medicine and made false propaganda. You have no conscience! I request the relevant departments to deal with them immediately and not let them hurt more people. If my daughter’s eyes are destroyed, I will definitely fight you to the death. I don’t want to live anymore, and you don’t want to live either!”

……

Not long after, another video was pushed to the hot search list.

This video was posted on TikTok by a blogger named “My Daughter is Growing Up” who has 500 million followers. The blogger is a housewife and her account mainly shares her daily life with her daughter.

Her daughter Liu Xue is a high school student. She wears thick glasses every time she goes abroad. She said her daughter has more than 900 degrees of myopia.

In the video, Liu Xue had just put in the Sihai eye drops, and a few seconds later she suddenly covered her eyes and started crying.

"Mom, my eyes hurt so much. Woo woo... Mom, please save me quickly. My eyes hurt so much. I can't open my eyes. Am I blind? Woo woo..." Liu Xue said crying.

The blogger quickly fixed his phone aside and went to check his daughter's eyes. Through the camera, he could see that Liu Xue's eyes were red and swollen, and then the video ended.

The blogger pinned his comment in the comment section, saying that he had sent his daughter to the hospital for treatment and would update the video later to explain the problem.

These two videos had a huge influence, and many netizens went to Yang Chen’s personal Weibo to scold him.

People who often surf the Internet know that most netizens have low IQs. When they encounter any hot topic, they can't wait to express their opinions. After things turn around, they pretend to be deaf and dumb as if nothing happened. The next time a hot topic occurs, they will still make the same mistake.

“Yang Chen, I misjudged you. I thought you were a good person, but I didn’t expect you to be someone who has no bottom line in order to make money. It’s okay for you to fake diet pills, but it’s a big problem for you to fake eye drops. You blinded someone’s eyes, and their life is ruined.”

"Shit, there are already two cases. Should I continue? Although I feel that my myopia has improved a lot, I am worried that after the dosage accumulates, I will become like these two girls. That would be a tragedy for me. I can't go blind. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. Boss Yang, can we trust you?"

"Yang Chen, hurry up and take responsibility. This is not how you make money. This is too immoral."

……

Chen Xi hurried to Yang Chen's office and reported: "Director Yang, the situation is not good. Public opinion is not favorable to us. Do we really not need to take action?"

Yang Chen smiled and said: "The one who is most anxious at this time is not me, but our creditors. Don't worry, they will help us solve the problem."

Chen Xi nodded and said, "Okay... I hope they can solve the problem. The abuse from those netizens is too harsh. I really don't know how their parents raised them. I don't know how they live in real life, so they can only vent their depression on the Internet."

“Haha…you know what kind of people they are, why are you still being influenced by them? Come here and give me a hug. I’ll take you to see a movie.” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Chen Xi smiled and nodded, then quickly sat on Yang Chen's lap.

At this time, the creditors' group became lively.

Worker Li Jun @ Yang Chen: Mr. Yang, what’s going on? Why are there suddenly so many news reports that are negative about you?

Liu Yaming, Chairman of Golden Mantis @ Yang Chen: Mr. Yang, is there any problem with the eye drops? Give us a definite answer and we will solve the problem.

Huang Ping from Beinong Technology @ Yang Chen: That’s right, we just need Mr. Yang to say something, and we’ll do the rest. Damn, we are all waiting for Mr. Yang to make money to pay off his debts. Anyone who dares to cut off Mr. Yang’s financial resources is like killing our parents. We absolutely cannot let them have an easy life.

……

Yang Chen smiled and said to Chen Xi: "See, what I said was right, right? The creditors are more anxious than me. Those bosses in the ophthalmology industry are all idiots. Such a big commotion will directly destroy Sihai Group. Will those creditors who have just ignited hope be willing?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Haha... Director Yang is still far-sighted. So how do we respond to them?"

Yang Chen smiled and replied: "Send the clinical data and the volunteer diagnosis report to them and they will know. I always firmly believe that data will not lie, there is no need to waste saliva to explain anything."

Yang Chen found a few pictures of the report from the album and sent them to the creditors group. These were all publicly available data, so there was no problem letting them see them or for them to pass them on.

Yang Chen @ all members: This is the test report of our myopia eye drops and hyperopia eye drops, ingredient list, volunteer clinical data, etc. 100% recovery rate, no harmful ingredients. I have finally brought Sihai Group to this point, how could I ruin my reputation just to make money? If I want to make money, I can go to the stock market to withdraw money, there is no need to falsify.

Liu Yaming, Chairman of Golden Mantis @Yang Chen: With Mr. Yang’s words and these data, we know what to do.

Li Liansheng of Limin Herbs @ Yang Chen: Mr. Yang, don't worry about this kind of thing. Put your mind on more important things and leave this matter to us. We will definitely find out the people behind the scenes and will never let them off easily.

CCB Zhang Qiu Ming @ Yang Chen: Let’s contact the hospital to find out what’s going on with the two girls’ eyes. We’ll have the results soon.

……

Yang Chen smiled and said to all the members: Okay, then I'll leave it to the creditors. I'm waiting to see the show, and I hope the creditors will work hard.

At this time, Wang Wenkang called Yang Chen.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, what's going on? Is there something wrong with the potion?" Wang Wenkang asked.

Yang Chen smiled and replied: “Your question makes me uncomfortable. Do you doubt my character or my ability?”

Wang Wenkang quickly explained, “No, no, no, Mr. Yang, don’t misunderstand me. I was frightened by the public opinion on the Internet. Of course I believe in Mr. Yang’s ability and character, but I still want to hear it from you in person, so that I can feel at ease.”

“Haha…the potion is fine, I promise.” Yang Chen replied.

Wang Wenkang immediately said, "Okay! I understand. I'll find out what's going on. If someone is really manipulating public opinion to discredit you, we will never agree!"
