The next day. Early morning!
As soon as he got up, Yan Gengdong went to the newsstand outside the company and bought a dozen newspapers assortedly.
After returning to the office, he looked at them one by one.
Soon, he saw the news about last night’s charity auction in the most conspicuous position of the famous South China Morning Post.
The first half of this news was the same as the official media reports that Yan Gengdong had seen before. They were all about boasting and praising the Hong Kong Governor's Government, and there was nothing new.
But in the second half, he talked about some of the auction situations, including the Yuanwei Company and the three little blue pills.
When talking about this magical auction item that sold for HK$188,000, the South China Morning Post spent a lot of space describing the magical effects of these pills, which made Yan Gengdong feel very good.
As one of the four major newspapers in Hong Kong, the South China Morning Post has a large circulation and is also very authoritative.
With their reports, I'm afraid it won't be long before the name of this little blue pill spreads throughout Hong Kong Island.
In addition, Yan Gengdong also found out from the secretary Yang Huiying yesterday that the person who took the picture of the three pills was the famous third master of the Li family in Hong Kong Island.
Although Mr. Li is only 48 years old, with the Li family behind him, he has built a huge business in Hong Kong Island and has become a super boss worth tens of billions.
As long as Mr. Li used that medicine and had a few positive comments about its effects, that would be even better.
But this is all for the future. What Yan Gengdong has to do now is to see how these media report this matter.
Then he read authoritative newspapers such as "Oriental Daily" and "Wen Wei Po". Without exception, these newspapers reported extensively on Yuanwei Company and the mysterious palace secret medicine.
Although all the words are still the basic introduction said by the beautiful auctioneer, it still makes people think about this little blue pill.
After reading these regular newspapers, Yan Gengdong once again looked through the gossip tabloids.
Hong Kong Islanders are famous for their love of reading gossip tabloids, so there are many types of gossip tabloids in Hong Kong Island, and there may be hundreds of them.
Some of these gossip tabloids publish an issue every three days, some publish once a week, some specialize in digging up the privacy of celebrities, and some specialize in keeping an eye on wealthy and aristocratic families...
Because there were so many types, Yan Gengdong just asked his boss to choose more than ten new issues that were delivered this morning. The previous ones obviously could not have charity auction reports.
Picking up a tabloid published every three days, Yan Gengdong saw what he was looking for on the front page.
Compared with the content reported in regular newspapers, the content of these gossip tabloids is much more "explosive". Not only did they "dig out" the past and present lives of this little blue pill, they even contacted the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty. Together.
After reading this report, Yan Gengdong was shocked.
If he hadn't known that this medicine was a chemically synthesized medicine created by that boy Zhou Yang, he would have believed that this little blue pill really had something to do with the royal family. How could he make it up...
The same goes for the rest of the gossip tabloids. Most of them reported on last night's charity auction. In all the reports, Yuanwei Company's palace secret medicine was the absolute protagonist. The Governor and the Governor's wife, All the popular stars have lost even a second in front of this so-called "miracle medicine that men have been waiting for 4,000 years".
There is no doubt that the little blue pill is popular, and it’s still going viral!
........
Yunshan County. Babaoliang Village!
Just as the little blue pill became popular on Hong Kong Island, Zhou Yang also became popular.
What's popular here are the college entrance exam tutoring materials and the college entrance exam cram school!
Since signing a cooperation agreement with Xinhua Bookstore in Saibei Province, the two "Self-study Series" produced by the printing factory and the college entrance examination mock test papers for various subjects have been quickly sold to various cities and counties in Saibei Province.
With the support of the huge sales network of the Provincial Xinhua Bookstore, more than 100,000 copies of the "Series" and hundreds of thousands of sets of mock test papers were snapped up by crazy candidates in just a few days.
More importantly, Saibei Province has a long and narrow territory and borders 8 provinces, such as Pingcheng in Western Shanxi Province, Zhangyuan in Northern Hebei Province, and Yulin in Qin Province.
Candidates from these provinces learned that the Xinhua Bookstore in Saibei Province actually sold college entrance examination review materials, and they were all in sets. They were all excited and asked their relatives and friends to help them buy them.
But after all, not everyone has relatives and friends here, so some people who live nearby simply form groups to come here to buy books.
Although it takes a lot of time and travel expenses to go back and forth, and you have to ask for leave from the production team or factory, but compared to your own future and destiny, these are nothing!
Those who are close can indeed come here in person, but those who are far away cannot. They can only send representatives to buy books here.
Soon, these provinces spawned a special industry - scalpers!
Of course, they don’t know and won’t admit that they are “scalpers,” but they are indeed doing scalpers’ business.
They specially rush to Saibei Province from other provinces, then queue up to buy a large amount of teaching aid materials, and then send them back to their own province through the postal system to sell them to those candidates who are "waiting for food" and earn a certain amount of profit from reselling them.
With these big and small scalpers, Xinhua Bookstores across Saibei Province often see bizarre scenes like this: Xinhua Bookstore in a small border town has a large number of people queuing up every morning.
Some people just bought 20 sets of materials yesterday, and today they bought dozens more sets. Even the staff in the bookstore recognize them.
The Provincial Xinhua Bookstore was also confused by this abnormal situation. Originally a small border county with a population of less than 100,000, it was estimated that there would be no more than 1,000 candidates. The Provincial Xinhua Bookstore distributed 500 sets of various teaching aids to them. The information should be enough.
After all, a complete set of information is not cheap, and not everyone can afford it.
However, what I never expected was that just two days after the 500 sets of review materials were delivered, the Xinhua Bookstore in the county started to rush for the goods, saying that they were sold out.
In a small county with less than a thousand candidates, five to six thousand sets of review materials were sold in just a few days. This situation is not uncommon across the province.
But no matter what, these teaching aid materials produced by Zhou Yang are really popular.
In addition, the college entrance examination cram school in the village is also popular.
There are 165 educated youths in Babaoliang Village. Adding in the young people who have attended high school in various production teams, the total number of young people taking the college entrance examination has reached 224.
Although there are a lot of people, it is not crowded when divided into three classes.
However, on the third day of the cram school, Bai Yang found Zhou Yang and said that his cousin was jumping in the queue at the Fugou brigade next door. When he learned that his cousin also wanted to take the college entrance examination this year, he wanted to get her to the cram school in the village. Study in class for a period of time.
Bai Yang and Zhou Yang came to the village in the same year to join the queue, and he was a warm-hearted person and got along well with Zhou Yang.
He asked Zhou Yang, and it was not a big deal, so Zhou Yang agreed.
Unexpectedly, since then, people have been coming to the village to find him and put people in the cram school.
At first it was the educated youth, then the village cadres, and in the end even my father-in-law came.
After all, who can live without a relative who is studying, and the college entrance examination is related to the future and destiny of a lifetime, so that all the people who usually can't help but ask for help come here.
Faced with so many people asking for mercy, Zhou Yang was in a dilemma. He didn't know whether to agree to them or not...

PS: Chapter 2 is delivered!
