Song Sichen and Dou Fanggang's appearance in He City to provide a charity consultation caused a sensation in the medicine capital.
It wouldn't cause such a sensation in other cities. After all, TCM wasn't well spread in other cities.
But He City was the medicine capital, and it was the largest TCM herbal center in the world. Hence, the commotion it created in this city far exceeded the effect of other cities.
In the international herbal industry, those famous ones were like the Medicine King Hall, which was an old brand. Now, the emerging Three Flavour Hall has attracted a lot of people's attention.
By putting 'Three Flavour Hall' into the search engine, the first thing that appears would be the Three Flavour Cosmetics International's official website, which the Three Flavour Hall's Baidu introduction followed after.
"The Three Flavour Hall was established in the final years of the Qing Dynasty's regime, and the main outlet is located at Huainan Province, He City's Old Street. The in-house doctor, Su Tao, received guidance from the two TCM grandmasters, Song Sichen and Dou Fanggang, and was known as a leading figure amongst the younger generation in the TCM industry…"
Bai Fan's face was ugly. He never expected that the business in his newly opened Medicine King Hall's business would be so terrible.
Not too far away, Luo Ran was terrified as he glanced at Bai Fan. He had no idea when his Senior Brother would fly into a rage.
Compared to when Xu Tiande was the Sect Master of the Medicine King Valley, Bai Fan's management made everyone feel uneasy, since they would suffer Bai Fan's rage if anything did not go as he planned. This was due to the fact that he had an indifferent character.
Bai Fan inherited Xu Tiande's slyness, and he also inherited the technique of controlling the disciples. He even added a few new medicines to Xu Tiande's initial prescription. So if anyone dared to betray him, then they would suffer the torture of the poison and taste life beyond death.
"Mr. Duanmu left He City yesterday!" Luo Ran reported.
"That useless piece of tras.h.!.+" Bai Fan roared as he continued, "After receiving a sum of money, he couldn't even bring any effect, and still has the face to leave?!"
Duanmu Xiong knew that he couldn't compete with Dou Fanggang, so he quietly left. As for the reward that Bai Fan promised, he didn't have to face to ask for it. He understood Bai Fan's character, and this was a person who would never do anything to make a loss. Putting it in a nutsh.e.l.l, you had to show that the money was well spent. Otherwise, you would have to spit it back out.
So Duanmu Xiong only gave Luo Ran a call when he boarded the plane and secretly left.
Luo Ran felt his throat go dry as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva before continuing his report, "Senior Brother, the new branch is completely deserted. With Song Sichen and Dou Fanggang's charity consultation in the Three Flavour Hall, they have already made a name for themselves, and it's meaningless for us to keep doing this. Shall we close it down? Otherwise, we will suffer a loss!"
Bai Fan looked at Luo Ran. His cold gaze made the latter feel a chill down his spine before he slowly shook his head. "No way! Even if there's no income from the new branch, it still has to stay as a strategic position."
After a brief pondering, Luo Ran asked, "Senior Brother, I've secretly investigated the Three Flavour Hall. Although their business is pretty good, they sold their herbs at a low price, and it practically brings no profit. Our Medicine King Hall has a stable income from the daily sale of herbs, and we don't have to place them in our eyes. The Three Flavour Hall isn't on the same level as us, so aren't we being too paranoid?"
Bai Fan felt that Luo Ran was too short-sighted and had no idea of the Three Flavour Hall's terror. Although the Medicine King Hall might seem ma.s.sive with so many branches around the nation, they did not have any compet.i.tiveness. To put it simply, since customers can buy herbs from them, they can also buy it from other pharmacies.
