Chapter 100 Hot Sellers
"Boss, the administrator said that this is Chen Songlin." Wu Yuanjia pointed to an old man and said.
The old man looked very old, his face was full of age spots, wrinkles, his eyes were yellow, his hair was completely white, and he had a few sparse mustaches on his chin. With more air out and less air in, he looks like he is dying, and he looks like he could die at any time.
"Sure enough, it's a very old man, it seems that Mr. Hou didn't lie to me." Liu Hui said with emotion.
The old man named Chen Songlin sat alone in a wheelchair with a blanket on his knees. His mouth was open, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the sky in front of him expressionlessly, motionless.
"I heard from the administrator that this Chen Songlin is the oldest person in this old people's home. He was quite energetic when he first sent it over, but he has aged very much recently, and it is estimated that his time has come. Wu Yuanjia added.
"Can he still talk?"
"I should still be able to speak, but my mind should not be very clear. It is said that this is the time of the day when he is most awake, and after half an hour he will fall asleep. Wu Yuanjia continued to talk about the news he had received from the administrator.
Although Liu Hui received Zege's assurance that he could prolong the life of human beings, when he looked at the old man in front of him who was about to die, he still felt that his decision was a little unreliable. Can a person who is so old that he is about to die really be able to rejuvenate and prolong his life?
"Old man, what are you looking at?" Liu Hui stepped forward to ask, but the old man ignored him and continued to look at the sky in front of him.
"Boss, it looks like he's asleep. I'll just say, he's all old like this, how can he think clearly, how can he still speak? I think he's really not going to be able to do it. Wu Yuanjia said.
"Young people, you have to go through your brain when you speak. You see my eyes are open, how can I fall asleep? And even though I'm older, I don't have a problem talking. The old man named Chen Songlin suddenly spoke, and glanced at Wu Yuanjia with his eyes, with a look of contempt.
"Uh......" Wu Yuanjia didn't expect that the old man was not asleep, not only heard him, but also fought back. Although the old man was weak to speak, it also made Wu Yuanjia extremely embarrassed and speechless. After all, it's always a little embarrassing to say bad things about people in front of you and be heard.
"Ahem, old man, don't be surprised!" Liu Hui saw that the old man was speaking clearly and articulately, and he was immediately overjoyed and stood up to play a round.
"Hey, young man, I know you." The old man named Chen Songlin saw Liu Hui stand up, and smiled in a daze.
"Old man, do you know me?" Liu Hui was surprised, he didn't expect that a lonely old man in an old people's home who looked like he was about to die would actually know him.
"Yes, I know you. Young people are amazing, and the news about you is shown on TV every day. The old man glanced at the TV next to him.
"I just made a little bit of insignificant results, but I didn't expect the old people to remember me." Liu Hui said humbly. He is even more interested in this old man, at this age, he still insists on watching TV, he must be a person with very strong learning ability.
"Very good, young man, your career is in its prime, much better than I was back then. But I can't do it, I'm about to leave, and my wife and children are still waiting for me below! After the old man finished speaking, his mood was a little low, and the whole person seemed to languish.
"Old man, since you know me, then I won't talk nonsense. I am here to invite you to be the head of scientific and technological research in our Star Group. Liu Hui said.
Chen Songlin barely took a few breaths and laughed miserably: "Young man, are you kidding? If you look at me like this, can you still engage in scientific research? This is the only time I am awake every day, and the rest of the time I am either asleep or delirious, and I am simply a wasted person, where can I still engage in scientific research, maybe I will leave in the next second. ”
Liu Hui smiled mysteriously and said to Chen Songlin: "Old man, since you know me, you know my experience. No one in the world could have imagined that I would invent a drug for AIDS, but I invented this drug that can cure a terminal illness for the ages; The world could not have imagined that I would invent a drug that would completely cure myopia, but I have invented this drug that will benefit millions of people, and this drug will be available in a few days. ”
"Young man, I know all of what you said. You better hurry up and get to the point, I can't last long in this state. Chen Songlin looked like he was going to fall asleep at any moment.
"Old man, I actually invented a drug that can rejuvenate people." Liu Hui stepped forward and whispered in Chen Songlin's ear.
"Young people, don't make such jokes in front of old people, especially old people who are about to die. This will make the elderly very painful and it is a very cruel act. Chen Songlin was experienced in the world, but he didn't believe Liu Hui's words at all.
"Old man, when I invented AIDS drugs and myopia drugs before, no one in the world believed it." Liu Hui said unhurriedly.
Chen Songlin thought about Liu Hui's history, and when he looked at Liu Hui's eyes, a glimmer of hope slowly rose in his heart. He cheered up and asked in a low voice, "What you said is true, you didn't lie to me?" ”
"What I said about nature is true, and as for its effect, you can experience it for yourself. I haven't told the third person about this yet. Liu Hui also whispered.
"Why are you looking for me?" Chen Songlin asked, his spirits looking better.
"Quite simply, my Star Group is ready to start my own scientific research, but now I can't find anyone I can trust. If we start cultivating talents by ourselves from now on, it will be too late in time, and it will delay our development, so I need a large number of experienced researchers now. I know your previous resume, and I believe in your strength, and what is even more rare is that you are not dragged down by your family now, and no one will value your existence. Liu Hui told the truth.
"What do I get and what do I have to give?" Chen Songlin also asked concisely.
"You can get young and extend your life. And you can get a lot of money for scientific research, and by abundance I mean a lot. I have tentatively decided that the annual investment in scientific research will not be less than 10 billion US dollars. Also, you can witness the countless miracles created by the Star Group for yourself. And what you need to pay is very simple, that is, to engage in scientific research for the Star Group for life, and without my permission, you can't appear in front of the world under your own name. Other than that, you are free. Of course, we also need you to use your strong network to help us find some competent scientists to join our scientific research institute as much as possible. In the same way, the age of these people who join the scientific institute is not a problem, as long as they have the strength and can still think about problems. Liu Hui's voice was like a devil, constantly seducing Chen Songlin.
"Is there really 10 billion dollars in research funding every year? And who has the final say in this scientific research institution? Chen Songlin asked.
"The initial investment in scientific research is 10 billion US dollars per year, and the annual investment in the future will not be lower than this figure. As for the management of scientific research institutions, it is still up to you. I just want you to produce results, and I won't point fingers at scientific research institutions. Of course, I have also made some achievements in research, and I have also invented several powerful drugs in biomedicine, and I will also engage in scientific research as a scientist, but I will not interfere with your management. Liu Hui explained.
"I'll promise you if I can do what you say, but I'm overdrawn today, and I must rest now. I'll talk about the rest until I'm sober tomorrow. When Chen Songlin said this, his mental consumption was too much, he really couldn't hold on, and he was about to fall asleep.
Liu Hui didn't come in vain today, this Chen Songlin's thinking is still very clear, and he can still think about problems, as for other things, it will be in the future. Seeing that Chen Songlin was not in good spirits, Liu Hui asked Wu Yuanjia to send two bodyguards to protect him, and then left the old people's home, he needed to plan well.
Three days later, according to the hospital records of the Mong Kok Home for the Elderly, the 96-year-old Chen Songlin passed away due to heart failure, and then his body was quickly cremated and buried in the cemetery. The old people and the caretakers in the old people's home quickly forgot about the taciturn old man.
At the same time, there is an extra middle-aged man named Chen Changsheng in the top management of the Star Group, his position is the dean of the Star Group Science Research Institute, and the strange thing is that no one knows where this middle-aged man came from, nor how the boss found him.
After Liu Hui arranged Chen Changsheng's affairs, it was finally time for the Star Group's "Star Myopia Spirit" to be officially listed in all markets around the world except Greater China. How the Star Group develops in the future depends on the sales of this product.
If this product sells well, then some of Liu Hui's arrangements and plans will be easily realized. If this product is not accepted by the market, then Liu Hui's long-term plan will be dealt a major blow.
Some of the marketing work before the product is launched has been completed, and now it depends on the market's reaction to this product, and there is nothing else Liu Hui can do. So he is very nervous now, and he is always paying attention to the sales of the product in his office.
Tom's wish was to be a firefighter, but during his student life, his eyes were highly myopic due to overuse of his eyes, so that his desire to become a firefighter was disappointed. He watched TV occasionally the other day and was fascinated by an advertisement on TV. This advertisement is promoting a product called "Starry Sky Myopia", although the advertisement looks unremarkable, but after Tom saw the advertisement, he was fascinated by the little girl with beautiful eyes in the advertisement, and he also remembered the product in the advertisement, knowing that it was a product for the treatment of eye myopia. Looking at the little girl's clear eyes, Tom had the idea of treating his own eyes once and for all. It's just that he's seen too many advertisements, and the effect of those beautifully made product advertisements is not very obvious, so what about the effect of this very bland advertising product?
Over the next few days, Tom would see the ad on TV repeatedly, and he slowly felt a desire to give it a try. Maybe he can also regain his healthy eyesight and relive his dream of becoming a firefighter. As a result, he was full of anticipation for the launch of this product.
On this day, Tom's long-awaited "Starry Sky Myopia Spirit" was finally put on sale, and he specially asked the company for leave and went straight to the sales point of "Starry Sky Myopia Spirit" early in the morning, only to see a long queue of people at the sales point.
"Hey, man, why are so many people queuing, what are you going to buy? Am I missing something? Tom asked curiously, one of the guys in front of him.
"I'm here to buy the "Starry Sky Myopia Spirit" produced by the Star Group, and so are they, aren't you? The guy in front turned around, pointed to the long queue of people in front of him, and asked in surprise.
"I also bought this product. But how can so many people come to buy this product? I haven't seen a queue for something in years! Tom asked, confused.
"You don't know, do you? This "Starry Sky Myopia Spirit" is produced by the Star Group, and the Star Group was founded by Liu Hui, who invented AIDS treatment drugs. He is the favorite to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine this year. His AIDS medication has treated a lot of AIDS patients with no side effects, but he left the AIDS treatment hospital for some reason, and founded the current Star Group. This "starry sky myopia spirit" is also said to have been invented by him, and the treatment effect is very good, and the eyesight of those who use it on the spot quickly recovers health, and the whole process only takes two hours, which is very convenient, I have seen that video from the Internet. So I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and with this new product, I don't have to wear these damn glasses anymore. The guy in front pointed to his glasses, which were as thick as beer caps.
"It's actually a new drug invented by Liu Hui? Who is this Liu Hui, who is sacred, to be able to invent such a powerful drug? Tom had heard the story of Liu Hui, who invented AIDS treatment, but he didn't expect Liu Hui to invent a drug that would benefit the world again.
"Hehe, I heard that Liu Hui found some mysteries in the Chinese medicine that prevailed in China, so that he could invent such a powerful drug." The glasses guy said mysteriously.
"Is Chinese medicine really so powerful?" Tom asked, confused.
"This should be very powerful, otherwise why is the efficacy of this "Starry Sky Myopia Spirit" so much better than our Western medicine. And you see it's not very expensive, it's only $1,480, which is less than half of my salary. It's cheaper than the same type of treatment drugs and devices, and the key thing is that other products can't make people heal. So I rushed here early in the morning to buy it, but I didn't expect it to be late, and I actually got to the back of the line. The eyed dude said depressedly.
Tom was stunned, he only now realized that most of the people in line were wearing glasses. It's all the damn glasses that are to blame, and Tom is looking forward to buying the "Starry Sky Myopic Spirit". Soon, a longer line formed behind Tom, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.
Although the queue of consumers is very long, these people have no complaints, but they just hope to get this drug that can completely treat myopia as soon as possible, so that they can get rid of the trouble of myopia. The people who had sold the medicine walked past Tom happily, and Tom was so itchy that he wished he could buy it right away.
It's a pity that when it was Tom's turn to be the glasses guy in front of him, he was told by the pharmacy that the store's "Starry Sky Myopia Spirit" had been sold out. Immediately, Tom and the glasses brother and the team behind them were very dissatisfied, and asked the pharmacy to increase the stock immediately, and said that they would never leave if they couldn't get the "Starry Sky Myopia Spirit" today.
The manager of the pharmacy was sweating profusely, and he had overestimated the enthusiasm of consumers as much as possible, so he deliberately stocked up on some extra goods, but he still did not expect that there would be a sales blowout that would lead to a shortage of goods. He hurriedly called the company to apply for transfer to meet the needs of consumers. And Tom: They are also willing to wait here for new goods to arrive.
At the same time, situations like Tom's here are constantly being played out in every part of the world, and the focus of everyone's talk is related to the "starry sky myopia".
The phone calls urging the goods and the data of terminal sales were constantly transmitted back to the secondary distributors from each pharmacy, and then fed back to the regional general distributors, and finally returned to the headquarters of the Star Group.
In Liu Hui's office in Hong Kong, Liu Hui is nervously waiting for feedback on sales data.
"Boss, the data is out." Hu Xian'er walked in, holding a stack of materials in her hand.
"Tell me how things are going." Liu Hui immediately asked.
"Boss, two hours after its global launch, the sales of "Starry Sky Myopia Spirit" reached 500,000 copies. From the point of view of the distribution of time, the sales of products are constantly increasing. Hu Xian'er's crisp voice read the data above.
"500,000 copies, that's 500 million US dollars, and that's still two hours after it was listed? And the sales are still increasing, what is this concept? Liu Hui was stunned for a moment, overjoyed. He picked up Hu Xian'er, who was standing next to him, kissed her fiercely on the forehead, and then picked her up and spun her around a few times. He said incoherently: "Xian'er, we succeeded. Do you know? We have succeeded, and our time has come. ”
Hu Xian'er touched her forehead, looked at the ecstatic Liu Hui, and felt that she was the happiest at the moment.
