Lu Xuan's idea is to ruin the reputation of Sanjiu Weitai Dihuang Wan, affecting its sales and making it unpopular among the people, so they won't spend money on it anymore.
Essentially, this method is the same as Tang Yu's previous plan to sabotage the product, just with a different approach.
Tang Yu previously made fake medicine, then found a stand-in to pretend to take the fake medicine and induce some serious illness, and then invited the media to publicize these problems, thereby discrediting the Sanjiu Weitai Huangwan.
The 36-flavor Rehmannia Pill is now a star product for tonifying the kidney, and with Xiao Ershao and the drug regulatory agency having connections, pharmacies wouldn't dare to sell fake medicine no matter how much they want to make money.
Once exposed, what's lost is not just the money for that fake medicine, but the entire pharmacy, and even other alternative medicines that were originally real, which are also implicated and labeled as fake medicine.
It's serious, and the drug regulatory authority may even revoke the pharmaceutical business license, pharmaceutical health and safety permit, etc. This thing is not easy to handle, it requires not only money but also connections to get it done.
Adding the 36 flavors of Rehmannia glutinosa pills, the exposure rate is extremely high, attracting countless people's attention at all times. The pharmacy has a thief's heart but no guts, and some fake cold medicines can still be done, but star products are just asking for death.
So even if the owner of the pharmacy doesn't know about the relationship between the boss of Sanjiu Weitai and the drug regulatory authority, they usually don't dare to fake it.
The saying goes that the bird that sticks its head out gets shot, anything that is too popular, whether it's a person or a product, will affect other people's interests and naturally attract countless attention. Countless people dream of finding problems and flaws, then exaggerate these shortcomings as much as possible, with the best move being to make it stink.
Apart from Tang Yu and Xiao Jie feeling the pressure, I'm afraid other kidney supplement products, such as Jinbao Pian and Liuwei Dihuang Wan, are also having a tough time. They're probably eagerly waiting for Sanshiliuwei Dihuang Wan to make a mistake too?
So even if Tang Yu made fake medicine and gave it away for free to pharmacies, or even paid them 50 yuan per box, they still wouldn't dare to sell it... afraid of death.
If delivered to that kind of roadside health product store, consumers buy it and find it ineffective, complaints and exposure to the media will not have any effect, and can only be ridiculed as fake medicine.
After all, the 36 flavor Rehmannia glutinosa pills are generally only sold in pharmacies. If you run to a health food store to buy them and encounter problems, who can you blame? And yet they expose this to the media, isn't that just inviting ridicule from the masses who have bought authentic products through official channels?
Lu Xuan's move was different, he raised the price by one or even two times without violating any laws or regulations, and sold it at that price, which was a legitimate business, no one could interfere with him.
If Lu Xuan buys things and then sells them at a price of 188 or even lower, that is malicious competition, disrupting the market order... Can't control the price increase?
If only one or two pharmacies in the country raised their prices, they would be accused of malicious price hikes. But what if all pharmacies in the country are selling at this price? Who can control it? The Administration for Industry and Commerce, do they have the right to regulate others' pricing? Asking for a profit of just one yuan per sale?
The price increase was unbearable for the people, sales plummeted and word of mouth worsened. Xiao Ershao couldn't sit still and personally arranged for the goods to be shipped from the factory to major pharmacies across the country. Lu Xuan told Tang Yu to use the same method to deliver the goods to the pharmacy.
After all, they used to get goods from local distributors, and the distributors only recognized one factory, so pharmacies wouldn't be afraid of getting fake medicine when they went there to pick up goods.
But the manufacturer personally delivers the goods, and the logistics are good. It's impossible for everyone in every pharmacy to know the person delivering the goods from the manufacturer, right? Familiar faces are formed only after five or six deliveries, which is enough time for Tang Yu and others to mix in fake goods.
Suppose you run into someone with a good memory who asks: "I remember it wasn't you who delivered the goods to me last time?"
When the time comes, the brothers who deliver fake goods just say that the guy ran to a certain province and delivered it. They drive every day to different delivery locations, maybe next time it will be someone else's turn.
As long as the fake medicine enters the pharmacy, Xiao Er Shao's abilities will be in vain, and he won't be able to save the situation or the reputation of San Shi Liu Wei Di Huang Wan. At that time, not only 688, but even 88 or 68 won't sell.
Who would spend money on useless counterfeit goods, even if the price is not high? Buying two boxes of Liuwei Dihuang pills back can still supplement the body, right?
"I'll arrange it right away."
Tong Yu understood Lu Xuan's intention, and she was so delighted that her face couldn't hide her joyful expression. She spoke with a happy tone.
"Go, but seriously instruct the subordinates to warn those who make fake medicines to be more serious and strict, not to add harmful chemical components, even if they are ineffective, do not harm the lives of innocent people." Lu Xuan nodded and once again commanded in an extremely serious tone.
Tang Yu nodded and smiled, saying: "I know, so don't worry. Those consumers have already been cheated by us and are not happy about it. If we let them get physically hurt too, that would be heartless."
"Haha, but we've swindled the consumers' money. Soon, Xiao Erlao will pay out of his own pocket to refund them, so it's not like we've swindled them... Haha." Lu Xuan said with a smile.
Honestly, he didn't want to cheat Xiao Ershao at all. Just looking at his straightforward and open-minded personality, cheating such a good-hearted entrepreneur can only be described as sinful.
But business is war, and there's no room for mercy when it comes to competitors.
Since Lu Xuan has embarked on this treacherous path with Xiao Jie and Tang Yu, he will not betray them again and will follow them all the way, no matter how cruel it is for Er Shao.
No matter who, when choosing between a friend and an acquaintance you get along with, will definitely choose the friend. After all, who can bear to see their friends fail and become a laughing stock?
"Alright, everything has been taken care of according to your instructions. This time, the ones sent out are all elite soldiers under Xiao Shao's command, and they will definitely get the job done."
Tang Yu hung up the phone and reported to Lu Xuan.
Two people were so close that she had just said every word, every command and instruction was heard by Lu Xuan, naturally there would be no such thing as inadequate supervision or adding harmful ingredients.
"That's good." Lu Xuan nodded in satisfaction and said.
"I knew it, no matter what problem you encounter, as long as you take action, you can always think of a solution, it's just a matter of time. " After hanging up the phone, Tang Yu smiled happily and praised Lu Xuan.
"Alright, stop flattering me, or I'll become arrogant." Lu Xuan's mouth curved into a slight smile, and then he took out the pack of lady's cigarettes from his pocket and tossed it to Tang Yu, saying: "Your cigarette."
Tang Yu took over the cigarette and asked, "Why did you give it back to me? Didn't you tell me not to smoke anymore?"
"The question is, do you still need to use cigarettes to relieve your worries now?" Lu Xuan gave Tang Yu a white eye, with an expression that said "you're asking a very stupid question".
"Hehehe——" Tang Yu laughed happily and put the cigarette away in the drawer, not intending to smoke anymore.
She's not a heavy smoker, just uses cigarettes to relieve boredom and stress. Once her mood improves, she won't be smoking as much as before, casually lighting one up whenever she feels like it.
"You say you're so clever, can that woman control you in the future?" Tang Yu's beautiful eyes blinked, curiously asking Lu Xuan.
"Don't you think this question is very stupid?" Lu Xuan glared at her again, saying irritably: "Intelligent women won't bother with their husbands, especially men like me. They'll understand that they can definitely take care of themselves, what's there to worry about?"
"Me too." Tang Yu said with a smile.
A clever wife and a foolish wife are just different in one thing, that is, the degree of controlling their husbands.
Some women treat their husbands like private treasures, carefully protecting and caring for them, preventing them from straying or being seduced by other women, and imposing various economic restrictions, checking chat records, and supervising everything to feel at ease.
This approach is very stupid. It's common for people to have a rebellious heart, and the more it's suppressed, the stronger the explosion will be. In the end, foolish women will only get various betrayals from their husbands.
An intelligent woman will also take care of it, but she won't restrict it so much, because she knows that as the head of a family, in order to survive in a big city, men will inevitably encounter all kinds of things that can't be avoided.
Lu Xuan had a fellow soldier who was injured and retired, took the money he had accumulated over the years and his demobilization fee to his hometown to start a small business, and married a wife with an average family economy.
The company has just been established and has no income, basically losing money. The couple can use the phrase "income does not cover expenses" to describe their situation. They have to be frugal and eat instant noodles at home, but they also have to spend money taking clients out for meals at hotels, buying thousands of yuan worth of tea leaves as gifts for clients, and inviting clients to entertainment venues.
However, his wife is very clever and knows that men doing business always need various social engagements, taking clients to high-end hotels for dinner, going to saunas for entertainment, or even finding mistresses.
But she never pretended not to know, playing on her own, quietly waiting at home.
Ordinary women would have blown up long ago, pointing at the man and scolding him loudly, "I've endured hunger and poverty with you, eating instant noodles together. You didn't invest money in the company, but instead spent it on whores and prostitutes? What... building good relationships? You can play around, but I don't have to! How did I become blind and recognize a scumbag like you..."
There are also some women who know that men go out to indulge in carnal pleasures, feel uncomfortable and unbalanced in their hearts, so they take money to go wild and buy jewelry, clothes, etc. to balance their inner selves.
