On the 3rd of May, Mai's New City Daily published an article.
The article, which took up half of the page, was titled "The Theranos Scam Reappears in China!" The author was a well-known Mai news reporter, Mike Douglas.
In the article, he first introduced the blood test product that was publicly listed in China, as well as the product's manufacturer, Xing Hai Technologies. Then, he used a sarcastic tone to ridicule the Chinese for being used to plagiarism and copying the Theranos scam.
In the end, the reporter strongly suggested that the originator of the Theranos scam, Miss Elizabeth, be sent to China to impart her scam experience and teach the Chinese a lesson.
Mike Douglas was not only a well-known reporter, but he was also a well-known anti-Chinese activist. He had been producing some false reports in the media for a long time. He liked to carry negative news about China and then publish it after embellishing it.
As Mike Douglas was very famous, coupled with the New City Daily's great influence, this article immediately attracted a lot of attention in Mai.
Many media outlets followed up. After confirming the "authenticity" of the news, all kinds of mocking reports emerged one after another.
Of course, there was a reason why the Mai people were so excited.
First of all, Mai had always had a great prejudice against China. Their news reports on China were rarely impartial and neutral. They could not wait for China to stir up trouble and scandals.
Secondly, the Theranos scam caused Mai to lose face in front of the whole world. Many tycoons were implicated in this scam. Although the culprit had been jailed, it was difficult to dispel the hatred in their hearts.
Now that the Divine Prefecture had come up with something similar, they naturally had to spread the news.
Immediately after, related news reports appeared in the media of various countries in Europe.
Of course, they were also gloating.
Then came the mainstream media and netizens from Japan and Korea. It was as if they were celebrating a festival!
The reactions of these foreign media outlets were transmitted back to China and immediately triggered a new wave of public opinion.
Zhang Xiaohai from "Xiaohai Reviews" had used his own personal test to prove the effectiveness of the blood test kit.
But not everyone believed that Xing Hai Technologies had really come up with black technology.
A group of Internet celebrities led by Yuan Feipeng jumped up and down on Weibo and Kuaiyin, insisting that the blood test for cancer was a scam. They even reposted articles from foreign media, bombarding Xing Hai Technologies and Taijiang Country.
However, their clamor and boycotts did not suppress the sales of the blood test kits. The first batch of 100,000 products that Xing Hai Technologies put into the market was sold out. They urgently added another 500,000 units.
Under Yue Heng's instructions, the factory began to work overtime!
Excluding the initial project investment, the actual production cost of the blood test kit was very low, and the profit could reach more than 80%. As long as the sales volume could be guaranteed, it could really be said to be making a lot of money every day.
On social media platforms such as Weibo, Kuaiyin, and Bilibili, more and more bloggers and UP Masters took advantage of the popularity of the blood test to test for cancer. They started to play the open-box test.
Some self-media even called it: Open the Cancer Test Blind Box.
The joys and sorrows of human beings were never interconnected. Zhang Xiaohai's experience was quite pitiful, but this did not stop the other uploaders from following the trend. Opening a blind test for cancer had become the norm.
On Bilibili, the number of views and popularity of such videos was very high.
It actually had the tendency to become a trend!
It was precisely the behavior of these bloggers and UP Masters who followed the trend that allowed the reliability of the blood test kit to be verified on a large scale.
More examples appeared. Early, middle, and even late stage test results appeared one after another.
Compared with the re-examination in a regular hospital, people were shocked to find that the effectiveness of the blood test kit had reached 100%. There was not a single misdiagnosis!
Because there were hundreds of real examples, the direction of public opinion on the Internet quietly changed.
Yuan Feipeng adhered to his style of being stubborn and sticking to his own point of view.
But many people who supported him quietly deleted the comments that attacked Xing Hai Technologies.
The sales volume of the blood test kit went up another level!
For a long time, cancer had been the number one enemy of mankind. It was the nightmare of countless people.
Everyone knew that the earlier cancer was discovered, the better the treatment effect would be. Regular annual check-ups were necessary.
But most people were not willing to go to the hospital for this.
Some did not want to spend money, some thought it was troublesome, and some were afraid of hospitals …
The appearance of the blood test kit had undoubtedly solved these problems to the greatest extent.
It was convenient, fast, accurate, and cheap!
On the evening of May 7th, China TV's news channel broadcast a report on the blood test kit and gave high praise to Xing Hai Technologies, who had launched the product.
The duration of this TV news was only 30 seconds, but it was like a heavy bomb thrown into the market.
Countless people were stunned!
China TV was China's national TV station. It was the largest, the most powerful, and the most authoritative.
Its positive report undoubtedly represented the official attitude of approval.
Yuan Feipeng was speechless.
No matter how great his influence on the Internet was, it was nothing compared to the national TV station.
Unless there was conclusive evidence to prove that the blood test kit launched by Xing Hai Technologies was ineffective and was a scam, he would only be asking for trouble if he continued to criticize it.
The problem was that there was now more and more evidence that the blood test kit was really effective!
China TV's report was also a heavy counterattack to the foreign media led by the New City Times!
The voices of these media suddenly weakened.
Only the Japanese and Korean media and netizens were still stubborn and firmly believed that Xing Hai Technologies was faking it.
The reason was that it was impossible for the Chinese to develop such a high-tech product.
Although the controversy was still there, the sales of the blood test kit exploded again. The official website of Xing Hai Technologies and the flagship stores of Maobao and Goudong were out of stock from time to time. It was difficult for the factory to meet the market demand even if it was operating at full capacity.
Xing Hai Technologies, which had been established for less than half a year, had entered the public's vision and gained a worldwide reputation!
In this process, Xing Hai Technologies did not invest a single cent in advertising.
At the same time, various domestic media outlets came in droves and requested interviews from Xing Hai Technologies.
The company's external contact phone and Man Li's mobile phone were all flooded with calls!
But some industry giants also turned their attention to this new company that had mastered black technology.
However, no matter how turbulent the outside world was, as the boss of Xing Hai Technologies, Yue Heng was still in the campus of Taijiang No.1, living a leisurely life of studying and dating his girlfriend.
It was just that such days obviously could not last long.
The first update was delivered.
