“Thank you for participating in the first preorder of the Holy Flowers Formula. Meanwhile, we are very excited to tell you that the first batch of the Holy Flowers Formula has all been sold out in one second. You didn’t read it wrong. In only one second, 50,000 boxes of the Holy Flowers Formula have been sold out. This record lets us see your support for the Holy Flowers Formula. We will also make every effort to continue to work harder. Please read the data report of this preorder in the picture!”


  There was a picture attached to this post.

  In the picture, there was a circle with two different colors with a text explanation on the side.

  “It only took a second to finish the preorder of 50,000 boxes of Holy Flowers Formula!”


  “During the preorder, 70% of the customers who have bought the Holy Flowers Formula are female.”


  “Among 70% of the female consumers, the oldest is 78 years old, and the youngest is only 13 years old!”


  All those who were complaining were attracted by the post and the data report.

  After reading it, there were all kinds of discussions.

  “What the f*ck, 70% of them are women?”


  “As I expected, this thing is specially produced to earn money from women!”


  “In fact, men can also use it. Women can be beautiful, and men can be handsome.”


  “That’s incredible. Our Huaxia women are extremely fast!”


  “From 13 years old to 78 years old, this age gap is huge, isn’t it?”


  “Sure enough, caring about beauty is women’s nature!”


  There was a heated discussion on Weibo. Soon, a hashtag was trending—The Preorder of the Holy Flowers Formula!

  Almost all the people who followed the Holy Flowers Formula gathered to have a heated discussion about the topic, regardless of whether they managed to make a preorder or not.

  Of course, most people among them complained and criticized.

  After all, 99% of the people couldn’t buy it.

  Just as the complaints and criticism grew more and more intense, some people who could no longer resist the temptation and could no longer suppress the desires began to pop out.

  “I’ll offer a high price to buy it. The original price is 1,500. I’ll pay 2,000 for a box. Those who want to sell it send me a direct message!”


  “You think 2000 is a high price? I’ll pay 3,000!”


  “3,000 yuan per box. I’ll buy them no matter how many you have. Sell it to me quickly if you want.”


  “Where’re the scalpers? Come out to make money now. I’ll pay 3,000 for one box.”


  This time, there was no need to secretly entice people. Even before scalpers came out, the netizens who couldn’t resist the temptation and desire had already taken the initiative to raise the price.

  At this moment, after observing for a long time, the scalpers who saw the price constantly rising and even reaching the top finally made their move.

  “It’s not easy for me to get one. I’ll sell it for 3500 yuan!”


  “Two boxes for sale. 3,500 yuan per box!”


  For scalpers, 3,000 was definitely not a price they could accept, neither was 3500. Hence, they began to drive up the price.

  Normally, the price of a popular concert ticket could be raised by two or three times by them, not to mention such a popular and rare product like the Holy Flowers Formula.

  “I’ll pay 4,000. I’ll take as much as I can.”


  “I’ll pay 4,500 for them.”


  A bid began on Weibo.

  Undoubtedly, “Holy Flowers Formula” became the most popular topic now. In a short period of time, it rushed to the top ten of the trending topics. Moreover, its trending index was constantly soaring. It was about to get first place on the trending topic list rapidly.

  In the cultivation base in Beijiang, Fang Qiu and He Xue were still watching the situation of the preorder in the office at night.

  Because they had already predicted this situation before the preorder began, they were not surprised by the sale of the preorder. Instead, they were intrigued by the topic on Weibo.

  While browsing through the netizens’ discussion of the topic, Fang Qiu and He Xue were chatting with each other while smiling wryly.

  As they were reading, Fang Qiu soon saw the scalpers driving up the price!

  Fang Qiu couldn’t meddle in when normal people who wanted to buy it raised the price. After all, these people had their own needs and also had money to buy it. But when he saw the scalpers driving up the price, Fang Qiu felt that it was a bit inappropriate.

  This didn’t only affect the interests of a large number of netizens but also had a bad impact on the Renyi Group.

  After all, there would definitely be a lot of people coming to blame it on the company eventually. Why couldn’t the consumers buy the products but they were bought by the scalpers?

  At the thought of this, Fang Qiu immediately frowned, glanced at He Xue next to him, and asked, “These scalpers are raising the price recklessly. It will have a bad influence on the consumers and our company. Should we stop them?”


  “Tut-tut.” As soon as he said that, He Xue glanced at Fang Qiu disdainfully and then said, “Let me ask you. So what if they reveal their identities as scalpers?”


  “They’re indeed scalpers.” Fang Qiu was stunned.

  “Do you think the rules of our preorder are fair?” He Xue asked and immediately continued to question again, “Is it possible that scalpers have a higher chance of buying the product? Is their chance bigger than normal people who only get one in 140,000?”


  “Uh……” Fang Qiu was stunned.

  “So what if they’re scalpers? If he gets it when the odds are 140,000 to one, then it means that he earns it. He buys it with his own ability, so why should you stop him?”


  Speaking of this, He Xue curled her lips and asked, “Is it just because they are scalpers? You thought that what they did is unfair to others? Have you ever thought that if we actually go to stop them, it’ll be unfair to them? Normally, the products they bought already belong to them. When they made the preorder, they had already paid for it. In this world, you pay for the things you buy. They can sell as much as they want. Even the law can’t intervene. How can you control them?”


  After saying that, He Xue added. “Since you have so much time, why don’t you get a few more cultivation bases?”


  Fang Qiu was speechless after he heard that.

  He Xue was right.

  Perhaps it was because of the name of scalper that sounded a little improper. Actually, scalpers were also human beings, and they also relied on their own hard work to scramble for the product like other consumers. It was just that their goal was different.

  “Actually,” He Xue spoke again suddenly. With a smile on her face, she stared at Fang Qiu with her eyes lighting up and said, “I really have an urge now to sell all our stocks secretly. In this way, we can make a lot of money easily. We can sell one box with the price of two boxes!”


  “Don’t!” Fang Qiu quickly shook his head and waved his hand to stop her.

  “Alas.” Seeing Fang Qiu’s look, He Xue suddenly sighed softly and said, “You are not suitable for doing business. You can only be a doctor. You should change yourself since you’re too softhearted. The business field is like a battlefield. Either you or I will die in this field. Only when you earn money can you survive. If you keep thinking about giving benefits to others, you will end up killing yourself in the end.”


  Fang Qiu shook his head repeatedly and said, “It’s not so serious. It’s already so profitable to sell it at a normal price, and we also used various marketing schemes. If we sell it secretly at a high price, it will be too unscrupulous. We can’t do that.”


  Undoubtedly, as the chairman of Renyi Group, Fang Qiu was very clear about the cost of each box of Holy Flowers Formula.

  The price of 1,500 yuan was higher than that of the Trillium Root-Securing Pill and Life-prolonging Earth Pill, which meant that it was more profitable.

  Although he was the president of the company, he had to consider the income and profits of the shareholders. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for him to lower the price a little even if he wanted to because it would infringe the interests of numerous people.

  Fang Qiu could only give a wry smile.

  When the topic surged to the top of the trending topic list on Weibo, the official Weibo account of the Renyi Group released a post in time.

  “Because of the high volume of sales of the Holy Flowers Formula’s first preorder and the fact that numerous customers like it more than we expected, the management of our group discussed that we would do our best to increase the production of the Holy Flowers Formula, in preparation for the next preorder. Also, we will start a second preorder three days later. Welcome to place an order by then!”


  No sooner had this post appeared than countless netizens criticized it.

  “What the f*ck. Why don’t you finish the preorder all at once today? Why did we have to wait for three days?”


  “F*ck, how many can they produce in three days? Obviously, they have been finished the production long ago. Are they playing the hunger marketing with us?”


  “Will they still provide 50,000 boxes three days later?”


  “Can you increase the quantity? 50,000 boxes are obviously not enough.”


  For a moment, all kinds of complaints and requests appeared in the comment area of that post.

  Although they were criticizing fiercely, people gave it a second thought. If the company took out all the stocks to launch the preorder today, there would only be 100,000 boxes. With so many people scrambling for them, they might not necessarily be able to buy them.

  Now they could still place a preorder three days later. At least everyone would have expectations and a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

  In this day and age, one would get more popular when it was frequently criticized by people.

  The topic, “the preorder of the Holy Flowers Formula”, sparked a boom.

  Under such circumstances, many people already began to prepare for the next preorder three days later.

  That night, because they had negotiated with the express delivery company in advance, the goods were immediately delivered at a blindingly fast speed. 50,000 boxes of the Holy Flowers Formula were sent all over the country under the transport of the cargo trucks.

  In some places closer to Beijiang, the goods arrived at some people’s house the next morning!

  As soon as these people received the products, they hurriedly opened their packages and took photos. They posted them on their WeChat Moments and Weibo and began to show off, which immediately made countless people envy.

  “Does it arrive so quickly?”


  “Awesome. Give it a try quickly. Let’s see if it works.”


  “Have you taken it? Does it taste good?”


  “Is the effect really that good?”


  “Come on, no matter how awesome you are, you can only be our lab rats. Take it obediently and let us see the effects first.”


  While other people were extremely envious, the people who received the products and sent the posts saw the comments asking them to be lab rats. They immediately replied angrily, “Even if you know how it works, you still can’t get the product. Do you want me to be a lab rat? No way. I won’t tell you if it works or not!”


  As soon as they said that, the netizens were helpless.

  They shouldn’t have provoked these talents!

  Soon, it was the next night.

  Almost all the 50,000 boxes of Holy Flowers Formula were delivered to 50,000 consumers. Even the 50 boxes that Fang Qiu had given away also arrived.

  After receiving the products, everyone began to try them, looking forward to the effect!
