Chapter 53: Chairman Yang is Awesome

At nine-thirty in the morning, Sihai Great Health and JD signed the agency rights purchase agreement.

From this moment on, the online and offline agency rights for Sihai Slimming Pills belonged to JD.

JD was also extremely prompt, immediately transferring four billion to Sihai Great Health's account.

Yu Lei called the manager of JD's Pharmacy Business Department, ordering him to list Sihai Slimming Pills immediately, place advertisements on the homepage of the JD app, and send pop-up reminders to all users.

At this point, Chang Sheng also began his move.

He published the test report of the GRM weight loss pills and reported to the relevant departments that GRM contained multiple banned ingredients without listing them among the product raw materials. Several media outlets also obtained the test report and reported on it immediately.

Yang Chen had already coordinated with various parties in advance, waiting only for this test report to take action.

The first to move were the five major banks. Li Jun and the others reported the situation to their head offices. Upon hearing that Yang Chen was about to engage in a decisive battle with GRM, the head offices immediately froze all GRM-related accounts according to Yang Chen's demands.

After all, GRM's cash flow was negligible to them, but they had to ensure Yang Chen's victory so that Sihai Slimming Pills could sell well, allowing the Sihai Group to make money and repay the nearly two trillion in debt owed to them.

Meanwhile, the relevant departments in Jiangcheng immediately took action to seal and freeze all of GRM's operations in Jiangcheng, while also contacting Haicheng authorities to seal and freeze GRM's Greater China headquarters.

Li Enhui and other related personnel were all taken away for investigation, and GRM was paralyzed in an instant.

This was the advantage brought by three trillion in debt; all parties would actively cooperate with Yang Chen to deal with GRM.

The news quickly reached South Korea, and GRM Chairman Park Jung-guk instantly lost his composure on the spot.

"Aishibal, that damn Yang Chen, has he grown tired of living? We've worked hard for years, and this time we're going to lose everything! Aish, I will definitely not let him off easily!" Park Jung-guk said furiously.

GRM weight loss pills contained multiple banned ingredients, its China branch had been sealed and frozen, and relevant personnel had been arrested. A series of news quickly spread across the South Korean internet.

The previously smug and arrogant South Koreans were now completely bewildered.

"Ah? What is going on? GRM was counter-killed by Sihai?"

"I read the reports from China. Their panic-buying of GRM weight loss pills wasn't because they forgave GRM, but because they bought GRM's pills like financial investment products. In other words, they knew GRM's pills had problems and were just waiting for Sihai Group to expose them so they could get a triple refund."

"Isn't GRM way too harmful? I'm taking them too. Doesn't that mean they're screwing over their own people as well? May I ask if we can get a triple refund too?"

"So, this matter reversed? The Chinese aren't failing to learn their lesson; they're just too smart, treating GRM weight loss pills like financial products?"

"I read the comments from Chinese netizens. Some of them bought hundreds of sets of GRM weight loss pills at once, just waiting to file claims. Wow, Sihai Group's move is too ruthless; they directly dug up GRM's foundation, won over Chinese consumers, and simultaneously redeemed the reputation of Chinese consumers. The Chinese consumers who get their compensation next are definitely going to go on a buying spree for Sihai Slimming Pills."

"This will definitely become a classic case in business history, and it also tells merchants to have a conscience when doing business. If your own foundation is dirty, you better behave yourself and never actively provoke opponents, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

...

All parties wanted Sihai Slimming Pills to sell exceptionally well, so that Sihai Great Health could make money to repay its debts.

That night, the penalty announcement against GRM was released.

Following the release of this penalty notice, consumers who had purchased GRM weight loss pills began receiving their triple refunds. Happy to have received their compensation, these consumers flooded Yang Chen's Weibo comments section to express their gratitude.

"Chairman Yang is awesome, this move was too brilliant. I've been taking flak for the past two days, but thanks to your divine operation, I finally don't have to carry the infamy of a 'kneeling apologist'."

"Got to be more careful from now on. Can't just buy things because foreign brands are having a sale. If they do wrong, they must take responsibility and show an attitude of repentance; otherwise, we won't buy them at all."

"Chairman Yang, nothing more needs to be said—hurry up and stock up more Sihai Slimming Pills, we have the money to buy them now."

"Chairman Yang is truly amazing, snatching the money right out of GRM's hands to buy Sihai Slimming Pills. No one else could pull off this move."

...

Seeing the netizens so excited, Yang Chen posted a Weibo message in response.

"Thank you all for your warm wishes. The agency rights for Sihai Slimming Pills have been sold to JD, so please go to JD Pharmacy to make your purchases. The reason for making such a big fuss this time—getting everyone to buy Sihai Slimming Pills is a minor matter—is primarily to awaken our national self-esteem and self-confidence, while also warning certain brands not to fantasize about making money off us while simultaneously disgusting us. Next time, GRM will be their fate. Additionally, as a preview, we will soon launch a very practical product for female consumers. This product is expected to be endorsed by Yang Min, so please keep an eye on her account."

Yang Chen put down his phone and looked at Yang Min, who was standing in front of him.

"Well? Have you thought it over?" Yang Chen asked.

Yang Min pouted and asked, "Does Chairman Yang really think I'm that small?"

"It's alright, at least the size isn't very obvious. That's why I'm giving you the endorsement for our breast enhancement pills, so that everyone can see the product's effects more intuitively," Yang Chen explained with a smile.

Yang Min felt a bit shy and embarrassed to endorse breast enhancement pills.

However, seeing how Pangdi had skyrocketed to fame through her endorsement of Sihai Slimming Pills, with many advertisers now knocking on her door for cooperation, she also wanted to gain more advertising resources just like Pangdi.

Yang Chen continued, "If you take on this endorsement, and once the pills show results, I'll give you a new role. I've just written a script that is bound to be a massive box office hit, and I want you to play the female lead, Liu Sihui. How about that?"

Yang Min immediately smiled happily and said, "Really? What kind of movie is it?"

"Dying to Survive. It tells a very touching story that hits right at the pain points of people's hearts. You'll play a single mother who dances in a nightclub to pay for her daughter's medical treatment, which requires your figure to be particularly eye-catching. This role has a lot of room for performance, and if you can play it well, you'll definitely win awards. I guarantee that Lost in the Stars and Dying to Survive will propel you into an A-list movie star," Yang Chen said with absolute confidence.

Although she still felt a bit embarrassed inside, such a great opportunity was right in front of her with no reason to let it slip away.

Yang Min nodded immediately and said, "Deal! I'll obey Chairman Yang's arrangement."

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, took two boxes of breast enhancement pills from the drawer, and handed them to Yang Min.

"Take these back and eat them. Just like Pangdi, you need to record the process of taking the pills, and the later footage will need to be edited and posted on Douyin for promotion. I guarantee that after finishing these two boxes of pills, you'll become Big Minmin," Yang Chen said with a smile.

Yang Min instantly blushed and lowered her head shyly.
