Chapter 70 Questioning and Procurement
Facing Jimmy's question, Zachary sneered. He lifted the old lady's sleeves and said to the reporters, "Look carefully. There are a lot of pinholes on the patient's arm. This is a sign of fat extraction. Also, her skin sags in an unusual way because it is actually caused by the recent injection of skin loosening drug."
"These people faked their weak appearances. In fact, these patients are all able to walk and jump. They are very healthy," Zachary said sternly.
"Nonsense..." Jimmy shouted loudly and was about to deny it.
Zachary snickered and then pressed gently on an acupoint on the old lady's waist with his right hand. The old lady immediately yelped and jumped out of the wheelchair, running away quickly. She seemed to be healthier than most of the reporters below the stage.
Everyone was dumbfounded at this scene.
"These patients are fake. This is irrefutable evidence!" The reporters flashed their cameras vigorously.
"President Huang, can you explain this matter?"
"Principal Wu, are you involved in this fraud as well? Why did you make it up? Is what you said earlier a lie?"
"Mr. Yan, you said that you are the one formulating the refining ointment. Can you make any explanation now?"
...
With the bombardment of these questions, Simon and Alan became gloomy. They didn't expect things to end up this way. They thought they would definitely win the competition.
However, the evidence was irrefutable. Simon couldn't make any explanation. He turned around and left with a livid face, saying, "This press conference is over."
Alan and the others followed him miserably, but they were swarmed by reporters. They couldn't escape at all.
Many reporters focused on Zachary as well. A male reporter with a braid came forward and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Mr. Ching, let's not talk about the Ludington Refining Ointment. I feel like the effect of Wonderzac Refining Ointment is not as amazing as how you promoted it to be."
Lauren was shocked when she saw that reporter. She whispered to Zachary immediately, "This is Boris Wong, the reporter of Ludington Times. He is quite famous in this industry. He has a close relationship with Huang Group!" Zachary paused. His expression changed slightly, saying in a clear voice, "It takes time for the medicine to show its pharmacological effect no matter if it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine. It's impossible for a person to be cured immediately after taking a medicine. The miracle effect of curing any diseases immediately is for TV shows only!"
A burst of laughter sounded from the crowd of reporters after hearing him. They started to understand more about Zachary.
"I can guarantee that the body-strengthening effect of Wonderzac Refining Ointment will definitely be the best in the market. Unlike some companies, we will not exaggerate the effect of our medicine in order to attract consumers to buy it. I can guarantee that a normal healthy adult can fight and defeat at least one or two adults after taking our refining ointment for half a month," Zachary said solemnly.
"It takes so long to see the effect. How can we be sure whether what you said is true? How can we be assured that Wonderzac Group isn't a company that's set up to only ride a temporary trend?" Boris asked relentlessly.
"There is no way to prove the effectiveness in a short period of time!" Zachary waved his hand and said. "It depends on your confidence in Wonderzac Group. After all, I just said that Chinese medicine is not a miracle. The effect won't take place immediately. I believe that more and more people will believe in us as they start using our refining ointment."
"Well, in that case, you can't prove the efficacy of your medicine," Boris was still dwelling on the question.
Zachary frowned. This type of reporter who was trying to make trouble was difficult to deal with.
A burst of laughter sounded at this moment.

"Zachary, how can you not invite me to your press conference?"
"Director Lee, why are you here?" Zachary glanced over and was surprised to see Henric.
The reporters were also stunned. They began to take photos of Henric from the Ricardo Group. They didn't expect him to have a close relationship with Zachary.
There were more than twenty people together with Henric. To the reporters' astonishment, they were all leaders of the major pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies in Ludington City. "What's wrong? Are you not going to welcome me?" Henric said with a smile. He was very happy when Zachary gave him the refining ointment last time, which improved their relationship. "Of course not. I'm just worried that you're too busy, so I didn't invite you," Zachary said.
"I have to come to your press conference no matter how busy I am. It will be a pity for me to miss the chance to purchase such a good medicine!" Henric smiled.
"Ah!" Zachary was stunned. "Director Lee, are you going to buy medicine from me? Isn't the Ricardo Pharma..."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Henric laughed, "Ricardo Pharma focuses on Western medicine. It is not conflicting for me to sell your refining ointment at all. Also, I believe that the refining ointment will definitely have good sales. Perhaps your refining ointment can help me to attract more consumers to my stores."
Hearing this, Lauren's eyes lit up. What Henric just did was a great help to expand the physical sales of Wonderzac Group, which was one of their biggest problems. "Thank you so much, Director Lee," Zachary said gratefully.

"Of course!" Zachary nodded excitedly.
With Henric taking the lead, the heads of other pharmaceutical companies also started to place their orders from Zachary. Some of them ordered 30 thousand boxes, some ordered 10 thousand boxes, whereas some ordered 5, 000 boxes. 300 thousand boxes of the refining ointment of Wonderzac Group had been sold in just a few minutes.
The reporter's mouths were all hanging open in surprise. Then, they swarmed over to interview the leaders of the pharmaceutical companies.
The leaders were very cooperative. They told the reporters about what happened at Maxwell's birthday party, and also shared the effects of the refining ointment on their family members.
Someone even revealed that Simon wanted to use 50 million yuan to buy the formulation from Zachary but to no avail. This proved that Huang Group had collaborated with Ludington Medical College to make a knock-off product. Otherwise, why would Simon try to buy the formulation from Zachary?
Boris, who tried to make things difficult for Zachary, turned gloomy at this moment.
He could raise questions about Zachary and Wonderzac Group by writing a few reports. The readers might believe him because Zachary had just become famous recently and Wonderzac Group was a new company.
However, it was ridiculous for him to question Henric and the Ricardo Group. Large-scale enterprises such as Ricardo Group which had been established long ago had gained trusts from the consumers. It was impossible for him to question them with just a few articles.
Moreover, Henric would probably sue him for defamation if he really wrote those reports to question him. Henric did not lack money or a good lawyer to sue Boris.
Thinking of this, Boris could only sigh and left the scene quietly.. Zachary was lucky enough to make friends with so many big shots.
