Chapter 52 Experts and Professors

  "What? Closed tomorrow? What is this shop owner trying to do? Is he trying to starve us into buying?"

  "Hunger marketing is just nonsense, now so many people are waiting to buy Fu Lu Shou, if he does this set, he's not afraid of provoking public outrage, when the time comes, the crowd will be stirred up and directly smash his store."

  "He won't have sold tomorrow's seal as well, will he?"

  Just as the crowd outside was buzzing with discussion and people began moving towards the entrance of the store, Yang Qing's next words came out again.

  "Because we consider it inconvenient for patients to queue up, we have set up a website which will be open for registration the day after tomorrow. Everyone can buy coupons on the website and directly pick them up at the store for use."

  After hearing Yang Qing's words, the emotions of the crowd were finally calmed down. After all, not many people are willing to line up to buy talismans, especially some seriously ill patients.

  The Fu Tian Kun has run out of talismans, and these patients and their families, even if they are unwilling, can only reluctantly leave. However, in their hearts, they have already made a secret decision that as soon as the website starts accepting registrations, they will rush to buy a talisman at the first opportunity.

  After more than a dozen minutes, the crowd dispersed, leaving Yang Qing sitting in the store with a headache. He had not expected today's scene to be so explosive.

  At this time, the police who were helping to maintain order at the door earlier also walked in and asked Yang Qing what had just happened and why so many people were gathered in front of his store.

  Yang Qing didn't explain much, but handed the newspapers that Qiao Zian had brought over this morning to several police officers, explaining: "The symbols reported in these newspapers are the products of my store."

  Some of the police had already read today's newspaper, and when they heard Yang Qing say this, they immediately looked at him with a surprised expression: "Is the effect of those symbols on the newspaper real?"

  "The requirement of this store is that the seal can only be used in the store, and the effect is visible on the spot. If I'm a swindler, do you think those patients and their families would still go crazy?"

  Think about what just happened, all these police officers were at a loss for words, didn't know what to say.

  If those talismans really have the effects that the newspapers say they do, then what about all the scientific education they've been receiving?

  After sending away the police, Yang Qing directly dialed Qiao Zian's phone number.

  "Lao Qiao, the website I had you set up must be online and operational in two days' time. If not, this small shop of mine will be torn down by those patients and their families." Yang Qing rubbed his temples, saying with a headache.

  "It takes at least a dozen days to build a website, the basic framework, web design and so on all take time." Qiao Zian explained over the phone.

  "At a critical moment, everything is simple. The website doesn't need web design, even just a whiteboard would do, I only need an online ordering function for seals, as for the rest, they can all be omitted." Yang Qing said firmly.

  "Even if everything goes smoothly, testing and operation will still take three or four days," Qiao Zian reminded.

  "Never mind, let's operate and test it out first! As for web design and other things, we can slowly add them later, no need to rush at this moment."

  Yang Qing didn't want today's situation to happen again. If he wasn't careful and a seriously ill patient died here, his guilt would be huge.

  "Alright, I'll go and hurry them up. The website will definitely be officially launched the day after tomorrow afternoon," said Qiao Zi'an.

  "Alright then! Old Joe, I'm out of here!"

  Just as Yang Qing was preparing for the launch of his website, his talismans had already caused a huge social stir.

  Those patients who were cured by Yang Qingfu's seal all returned to the hospital to collect their belongings and go through discharge procedures, making more people aware of the miraculous effects of the disease-removing seal.

  People are more dead than people, goods are more thrown away than goods. After knowing that a one-hundred-yuan Zhēn bìng fú (a kind of Chinese medicine) can cure acute gastroenteritis, all the other patients also had the idea of being discharged from the hospital.

  Just because the hospital is temporarily closed, they still have to endure a few more days of exploitation in the hospital. However, one thing is certain: as soon as they buy the talisman from Xiang Qiankun online, the first thing they will do is leave the hospital.

  The large-scale discharge of patients and the choice of many patients to opt for conservative treatment have attracted the attention of hospital leaders, who immediately sent someone to investigate the root cause.

  But when they finally knew the truth, their hearts were filled with anger and helplessness, because the effect of this kind of seal was really too strong, easily crushing all kinds of treatment methods in the hospital.

  Fortunately, this disease-curing charm can only cure illnesses and not injuries, otherwise, hospitals would be able to close down directly.

  After secret consultations among high-level officials at various hospitals, a large number of medical experts and professors were pushed to the forefront, beginning to express their opinions in newspapers.

  "Modern medicine is a scientific medical system that has been summarized and established through long-term medical practice, with a large number of clinical trials and anatomical evidence to support its effectiveness. What are those so-called talismans that pretend to be mysterious? They're just scribbles made with cinnabar on yellow paper, nothing but a swindle."

  "Some people take advantage of patients and their families' anxious state, deceiving them into buying so-called 'disease-curing talismans', claiming that one talisman can cure all diseases. This is utterly absurd. There is no medicine in this world that can cure all diseases, and even if there was, it should be developed through scientific research, not by drawing ghostly symbols."

  "Feudal poison is rearing its head again, this dregs that should be swept into the historical garbage heap is actually rampant in modern society, it's a tragedy for our nation, a tragedy for our country!"

  The central idea of these remarks is that medical care, which concerns life and death, should be based on science and factual theories, rather than feudal superstition and supernatural nonsense.

  The media outlets that published these experts' and professors' statements were those who had received invitations from Zhao Changqing but did not attend the press conference.

  Looking at the current situation, these media are very clear that this small seal will definitely trigger a wide discussion in society. For those who did not accept Qiao Zijian's invitation at the beginning, they are now all filled with regret.

  However, they also understood that since they didn't give Qiao Zijian face at first, then don't think about getting any news about Fu Zhu from Qiao Zijian.

  At that time, all major hospitals jointly found them and asked for their help in publishing those speeches attacking the disease symbol. They just mentioned a few conditions and agreed to it.

  In this turmoil, regardless of right or wrong, as long as you stand on one side, it will stimulate the growth of newspaper sales. If you can't get positive news, then publish negative comments.
