Like Zuo Lin, who invested money in Oak International, but put the center of his business in Jiongshi Creatures, there are also those Chinese families around the world. They didn't think that cosmetics would be more profitable than drugs and other things at the moment, but Sun Digui explained to everyone that Oak International would be the profit department of the Druid Council, and although the annual dividends would never be less, it was not convenient for them to interfere in the operation. As for cooperation in sales channels, that's another matter. As a result, many people among the younger generation of some idle Chinese families, including Xu Yi, who was invited as a "strategist", became employees of Jiongshi Biotech, as a starting point for the actual strength of the Chinese family. Each of these people used their family's influence around the world to start laying sales channels unhurriedly. In fact, laying sales channels is not a big deal for these families, they already have channels to sell all kinds of things, and the Xu family on the East Coast of the United States is even better at running department stores. But they had to slow down again, because the blazing stone creatures couldn't bring that much at once. Based on the planting base that Zuolin now has and the pace of expansion in the future, Jiongshi Biotech will not be able to have enough shipments to meet the market demand in at least 5 years.

At the end of October and the beginning of November, a series of cosmetics and related products developed based on Tianxin Lotus were finally launched. Samples that have been circulated before may be the best means of publicity. Su Weixin is very smart in this regard. However, after all, she has not organized such an event as the simultaneous debut of the four major cities in China, and although she has been a trapeze artist for a full week, the debut roadshow in Beijing is still four and a half hours later than the events in Shanghai, Guangdong, and Chengdu.

Even if there was a grand and actually ridiculous launch ceremony, it did not affect everyone's perception of this series of products. Almost all of the points of sale set a single-day sales record in the mall. What is even more exaggerated is that the goods that have been in reserve for a period of time are sold out, and on the third day, they have to hang up the free battle card, announcing that each counter will arrive irregularly according to the production quantity of the factory from now on. The "Heart Lotus" series has never been expected to meet all consumers anyway, but is just a highly efficient supply for robbing the rich and helping the poor, so that the "Heart Lotus" series of products, which are almost destined to fall into a state of shortage for a long time, are becoming more and more "high-end".

However, neither Zuo Lin nor Su Weixin seems to have much interest in blindly expanding production. When Zuo Lin said that he could double the production of Tianxin Lotus in the short term if needed, Su Weixin did not hesitate to hand over one-third of the amount to the production of ointment, and one-third of the production of cosmetics but not put it on the market, specifically to provide gift packaging for family employees who have established sales channels in Europe, America and Southeast Asia and as a related household, and the remaining one-third, in addition to the production of post-cosmetic recovery ointment. There is even a part left over for a top international cosmetics group to develop a new product line. As an experimental product according to a special "purity" standard, Su Weixin offered the cosmetics group a price of 4,000 yuan an ounce. Everyone is not worried that this price will scare people away, this knife is not slaughtered. Although the other party probably hopes to grow Tianxin Lotus and design their own products to hit the market in the future, at that time, they will not be able to rely on Jiongshi as a raw material supplier. When the time comes, the price of raw materials will be raised, forcing the other party to either withdraw from this market or become the most expensive brand in this market. Either way, it's only good for the blazingstone creatures.

Compared with Jiongshi Biology, which works hard to make money, Sun Digui is at the helm of Oak International, and almost from the first minute of the company's establishment, he has been engaged in crooked ways. Although the effectiveness of cardiovascular drugs made with Li Sangguo is quite strong, Sun Digui never thought that he would have to go through many approvals and clinical tests before going on the market in the next few months. Sun Digui decisively bought a pharmaceutical factory, which almost wanted nothing, except for one thing that Sun Digui liked, that is, they had a cardiovascular drug that was already at the end of the approval and quarantine process. Sun Digui directly sent the "Buxin Capsule" based on Li Sangguo and combined with other drugs as an improved formula of that cardiovascular drug, and the process was completed in less than two weeks. Although the illegal operations are almost to the point of being exhausted, Sun Digui's reputation in the domestic medical community, especially in the Chinese medicine community, is too loud. And the seniority is terrifyingly high, and Sun Digui has never had a bad record of practicing medicine, those old guys who are mixed in the field of traditional Chinese medicine have openly and secretly mobilized many relatives, friends, students, and colleagues to help Sun Digui clean up these things.

Don't say it's a magical thing like Li Sangguo, just the selection of Sun Digui's auxiliary medicinal materials with Li Sangguo's Jia made those old guys amazed, and they repeatedly exclaimed that Sun Digui's name as a "secret doctor" was well deserved.

That's not excessive. What's more, the depressed druids and their attendants who had been involved in various research institutes related to environmental science did not forget to copy all the research results that had been shelved in their respective research institutes when they resigned en masse. The reason why research is on hold is simple. For example, two weeks after a materials company developed and put into operation an exhaust gas filter that meets European emission standards, a filter device that meets a higher standard was born. Since the production line has been put into operation and the sales have been in place, such results have to be put in the company's database as a technical reserve. Then, the R&D department changed heads, and the original results were not expected to see the light of day...... Something like this doesn't seem to happen less frequently. These achievements were gathered and transformed into productivity in the newly built research institute of Oaktree International, and when the rumors passed a little, they could be transformed into productive forces.

However, after the results of all kinds of gatherings and the detailed discussion of everyone, their faces became more and more ugly. Is this the case in the world's environmental protection industry? Whether it is Asia, Europe, or the Americas, there is such a situation, that is, environmental protection products are only "standard environmental protection." For example, the so-called environmentally friendly detergents and exhaust gas purification devices, used in related equipment or processes, do meet the emission standards of various countries and the relevant regulations of chemicals. However, the pollution caused by the process of manufacturing these so-called environmentally friendly products themselves should not be underestimated. Even from the perspective of comprehensive environmental value, the pollution caused by some environmentally friendly products in the production process is far from being offset by the environmental benefits caused by the use of these products. The real products whose production process and effect are environmentally friendly are not of high economic value. It may be that the cost of a single product is not acceptable to most consumers, or that it requires a huge amount of money for a single investment, and there is no production method that can be referred to by existing production specifications.

Druids are beings who cross the boundaries between nature and human society. But they may be able to see through these things at a glance, but until the materials and facts are in hand, after all, no one has the ability to independently conduct a rather boring investigation of industrial projects. However, such a situation abounds in the field of industrial production, although no country claims to be environmentally unfriendly, but environmental protection must also be within the acceptable range of costs. This situation is further complicated by the fact that there are policies and countermeasures. It's not something that the druids can change, but a lot of things have to be done to protect their natural home.

After some discussion, the media became the first weapon the druids began to use. The last time Sun Digui was in charge of business operations was decades ago, and Sun Digui is very uncertain about the extent to which the media and public influence can assume commercial functions and social responsibilities. After all, in the era when he was talking, he read all kinds of newspapers with political opinions and ideologies the most. He knew the power of propaganda, and he knew the concept that "a word of panic becomes the truth after being repeated a thousand times", but the truth in their hands and the truth that has been cultivated in everyone's minds do not seem to coexist on the same planet at all.

After careful consideration and a period of preparation, the Druid Council, on behalf of an environmental protection foundation based in Switzerland, issued a comprehensive environmental index assessment methodology for industrial and agricultural projects. The environmental effects of production processes and product effects are taken into account to evaluate the environmental value of various industrial and agricultural products. According to this standard, there are also five projects that can be said to be completely different from the actual value of the company's claimed environmental value. The most serious of these are beef cattle breeding and soybean farming in Brazil. This result was not unexpected. Brazil's agriculture and livestock development has almost come at the cost of deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. But others, such as Japan's so-called next-generation battery production plant in Malaysia, a Spanish company that purifies car exhaust gases, the North Sea Fisheries Corporation's project to release genetically modified fish in the Atlantic, and the U.S. Gulf Coast oil extraction industry, have attracted serious attention. Except for the exhaust gas purification equipment company in Spain and the battery company in Japan, almost all other countries or even several countries are behind the promotion. It's a small agency in the redundancy. At first, everyone thought so, but when some experts carefully analyzed the extremely complex evaluation items and calculation methods submitted by the Foundation, and learned about the detailed and meticulous process behind the conclusions, the big end had some doubts. Is that really the case?

Some organizations, and even some countries, began to make contact with an organization called the Hummingbird Foundation, which usually has less than 10 staff members, and whose biggest role is to prepare airfare and hotels for druids and attendants traveling to and from Europe. Some came to ask questions about the environmental assessment of the project, some came to inquire about the renovation and cleaning plans of known polluting projects, and some were more direct and sent a lawyer's letter directly to a well-known legal service organization...... One of the representatives is Japan's Hanyang Electric Co., Ltd.

Whether it is Bernard, Sun Digui, or Zuo Lin, or those old guys who have been holding back in the Japanese formation for decades, they did not expect that this environmental assessment index, which originally just wanted to hype up a little, attract some attention, and pave the way for future propaganda work, would actually cause such a surging undercurrent.
