The following days saw Ling Tian rushing around, not idle.
First, he handled Xing Jiajia's school transfer.
Wangjiazhuang had both an elementary and a middle school. Although Wangjiazhuang didn't have a large population or many children, the Wang family also had a welfare home not far away, and many children from the welfare home studied and attended classes there.
These schools hired renowned teachers from other regions at high costs, and their teaching quality could even surpass other elementary and middle schools in Jiangshan City.
By rights, Xing Jiajia, at her age, should have been in the fifth grade of elementary school. However, to alleviate her family's burden, she had studied diligently and skipped two grades.
When school started in September, she would officially be able to attend middle school.
Ling Tian pondered this. At Xing Jiajia's current level, placing her in the sixth grade of elementary school would be a waste of time.
But if she were to start middle school, she would be a whole semester behind the other children, which wouldn't be easy to catch up.
Therefore, Ling Tian decided to have the child study at home for the time being.
Every day, Ling Tian would teach her for two hours in the morning and evening, imparting his medical knowledge.
During other times, Ling Tian instructed Xing Jiajia to meditate in the small pavilion on the third floor and begin practicing cultivation.
Ling Tian even took the time to teach Xing Jiajia some martial arts, not anything too profound, but merely for strengthening her body.
Before each meal, Ling Tian personally prepared a medicinal concoction for Xing Jiajia to drink.
In just a few days, Ling Tian witnessed the little girl's transformation.
Her previously yellow and dry hair had become black, lustrous, and shiny.
Her complexion, which had been a bit sallow, was now rosy, a sign of excellent physical condition.
Relieved, Ling Tian let the child stay at home. The house had several large freezers filled with ingredients and an underground warehouse for storing various foods.
For Xing Jiajia, as the saying goes, children of the poor mature early. She had been cooking and doing laundry for herself from a young age, and taking care of herself was no problem.
Moreover, Xing Jiajia had the company of a small dog named Bench.
In the past few nights, Ling Tian had secretly absorbed the puppy into his spiritual realm space. Within the Beast Taming Garden of the spiritual realm, the puppy's body had been strengthened, and its intelligence had also been significantly enhanced. Now, the little fellow could understand human speech and sense people's emotions.
After settling domestic matters and assigning learning tasks to his student, Ling Tian, without delay, headed to Jiangshan City, to the headquarters of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical.
To Ling Tian's surprise, the atmosphere in the conference room that day was somewhat somber.
In fact, over the past two months, the senior management of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical had been under immense pressure.
A large number of distributors had defected, demanding refunds of their advance payments, and their market share had been completely eroded by Yang Yan Tang.
Wang Kun, the general manager of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical, had even planned to reduce production and adjust the scale of operations, but Ling Tian stopped him.
Ling Tian instructed him to maintain the previous production scale, just to avoid working overtime every day.
Wang Kun found it somewhat incomprehensible. The products were being produced but not sold immediately; instead, they were being sent to warehouses, and a considerable inventory had accumulated.
However, after just over a month, Wang Kun was astonished to discover that Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's two flagship products, Ice Pure Eye Cream and Ice Clean Facial Cleanser, had seen their sales rise against the trend.
The logic was not complicated. Although Long Mingzhu had invited trouble by introducing the Yang Yan Tang series of products and capturing a large market share through low-price promotions, consumers found that the effect of Yang Yan Tang's cosmetics was far inferior to that of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's products after purchasing and using them.
Especially those consumers who had already used Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's products, upon comparison, immediately discarded Yang Yan Tang into the trash.
Even if their products were tens of yuan cheaper, could people who could afford such expensive cosmetics truly be concerned about a few tens of yuan?
As a result, within just one month, the sales of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's products had surged against the trend.
Consumers also began complaining online, comparing the effects of the two products.
The more they compared, the more astonished they became. After the comparisons, everyone came to their senses.
Thus, in one month, Bing Tian Pharmaceutical had almost regained the market share it had lost.
This left the distributors who had betrayed Bing Tian Pharmaceutical in a state of shock.
Some of them had just finished lawsuits, paying substantial liquidated damages to Bing Tian Pharmaceutical.
Of course, all this money was borne by Long Mingzhu's company.
As a result, before they could even start making money, they discovered that the Yang Yan Tang series of cosmetics they had acquired were no longer selling.
And the Bing Qing Pharmaceutical series of cosmetics, which they had previously overlooked, were now incredibly popular.
Consequently, some people shamelessly approached Bing Tian Pharmaceutical, requesting to become distributors again. Their requests were unceremoniously rejected.
In Ling Tian's view, betrayal was a matter of once or countless times.
These distributors had unhesitatingly abandoned Bing Tian Pharmaceutical for profit. If Bing Tian Pharmaceutical faced a major crisis in the future, these people would likely be the first to kick them while they were down!
As for the distributors who had held firm and resisted temptation, they were now overjoyed.
They had captured all the market share vacated by their peers. What made them even happier was that Bing Tian Pharmaceutical had accumulated a large inventory over the past month.
On one hand, there was massive order demand from consumers; on the other hand, there was an abundant supply of products. It was truly a situation where they were making money hand over fist!
However, the topic of their meeting today was not these two cosmetic products, but their new product, Bing Tian Xiao Ke Wan.
This product had been on the market for a month, but its promotion had been somewhat unsuccessful.
Currently, there were simply too many drugs on the market claiming to treat diabetes. Consumers spent a lot of money buying these drugs, but most of them ended up being scammed.
Even many top-tier hospitals had directly removed proprietary Chinese medicines from their pharmacies.
Over the past month, Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's sales representatives had visited many chain pharmacies and hospitals with this product, but the results were very poor. Only a few thousand boxes had been sold, and most of these were free samples, not even covering the travel expenses.
After reporting the sales situation of the new drug, Lu Kai, the head of the marketing department, spoke.
"Everyone, I suggest we change our sales strategy for the new drug. The Chinese medical community is currently not very friendly towards proprietary Chinese medicines. If we continue to sell it like this, it will be difficult to increase sales. Therefore, my idea is to change our sales approach!"
Chairman Wang Qing Tian nodded upon hearing this.
"Xiao Lu, please elaborate. What should we do then?"
