A day later, Jess Clinic released two pieces of news that shocked the city's medical system.
The first was the announcement of Jess Clinic's collaboration with Song Qiao.
This news did not cause much of a stir in the medical community.
However, it caused considerable tremors in Cui Haoze's stock market.
Many people expressed their opinions on various news media:
"Sunshine Pharmaceutical is advancing at full speed, and they didn't get the order from Jess Clinic?"
"Reality is truly surreal!"
"Song Qiao's company was so suppressed by Sunshine Pharmaceutical in the stock market that they couldn't even lift their heads, and yet they managed to secure Jess Clinic. It's truly incredible."
Many stock market "leeks" had begun to waver.
"Is it still too late to sell off my Sunshine Pharmaceutical shares now?"
"Brothers, let's go all-in on Song Qiao!"
The old hands, however, were dismissive:
"A bunch of clueless idiots, does one Jess Clinic affect Sunshine Pharmaceutical?"
"..."
Various doubts about Sunshine Pharmaceutical continued to ferment.
Even though he held a clear advantage and was as stable as an old dog, Cui Haoze, looking at the fluctuating curve, couldn't quite hold his composure.
"Damn it, this Avaska really thinks of himself as someone important!"
"When I'm done with Song Qiao, you'll be next!"
After a long pause, Jess Clinic reposted the announcement and added a supplementary statement.
This completely sent the stock market into an earthquake!
"Jess Hospital refuses to cooperate with any Korean conglomerates!"
Many astute observers immediately saw the problem.
"Jess Clinic is clearly targeting Sunshine Pharmaceutical!"
"It seems there's a deeper inside story behind Jess Clinic's cooperation with Song Qiao!"
"Are there any insiders who can reveal it?"
"Brothers, this is completely solid now!"
"China has 'all-in,' let's charge towards Song Qiao!"
Before this statement was released, Sunshine Pharmaceutical's stock market trend was just normal fluctuation.
Now, public opinion had completely exploded!
Sunshine Pharmaceutical came out to clarify that they had nothing to do with it, but the shareholders weren't buying it!
In business, diamonds can be re-inflated in price after a drop.
But trust, this ethereal thing, once lost, is truly hard to regain.
"Invest for me!"
"We absolutely cannot let the market capitalization shrink at this time!"
"If a hundred million isn't enough, then two hundred million!"
"We must surpass Song Qiao!"
Cui Haoze roared frantically in his office.
Another announcement from Jess Clinic caused considerable shock in the medical community.
"Jess Clinic sincerely welcomes the following physicians to our clinic for advanced studies!"
Many middle-aged professors from top-tier hospitals meticulously scanned every word, afraid of missing their names.
"What's going on? Why isn't my name on it?"
"Who are these invited people?"
Many physicians from large hospitals felt, to say the least, extremely angry after reading the list.
In response to public opinion, Jess Clinic revealed the original hospitals of these individuals.
This was another shockwave, no less significant than the rejection of Korean companies.
Both groups were involved in the pharmaceutical industry, and some individuals held both identities.
However, it was difficult for anyone to connect this matter to Song Qiao.
Otherwise, Cui Haoze's stock market would have plummeted completely today.
The leaders of the Drug Administration, looking at the newspaper, felt a complex mix of emotions.
"No wonder this Song Qiao doesn't need our help. Compared to this, our assistance is truly insignificant."
A wry smile flickered across the face of the director of the Drug Administration.
"Song Qiao's counterattack is ultimately a good thing!"
On the other side, Director Zhang's face was filled with gloom.
"Do the doctors under my name, Zhang, not qualify to enter your Jess Clinic?"
"Are you trying to humiliate someone by recruiting a bunch of second-rate doctors from county-level hospitals?"
Director Zhang had originally organized a meeting, intending to take the opportunity to expand his hospital's reputation.
But not a single doctor from his hospital was invited!
Not only that, but his entire top-tier hospital was wiped out!
"Foreigners are foreigners, they have no foresight at all!"
Director Zhang uttered an disgruntled remark and immediately disbanded the somber meeting.
Meanwhile, Song Qiao's side was also bustling.
"Song Qiao, the list released by Jess Clinic is all from county-level hospitals."
"These two consecutive earthquake-level public opinion events will likely push Jess Clinic into the eye of the storm!"
Gao Meng said, and Xia Xueqing nodded in agreement.
"The questioning voices against Jess Hospital are increasing."
Song Qiao immediately dismissed their worries.
"True gold fears no fire!"
"Jess Clinic's hard power is there for all to see, and no one can do anything to them."
"Besides, if those county-level hospitals are willing to cooperate with me,"
"I naturally have to give them some benefits. This is the advantage of cooperating with me!"
"Let's see who isn't envious in the future?"
"Let those top-tier hospitals that surrendered to Cui Haoze regret it!"
Xia Xueqing wanted to persuade Song Qiao further, but seeing his determined tone, she didn't press the issue.
"The medical field has always been about rewarding those who are capable. The more you do, the more you get."
"They, these old fogeys, consider themselves aloof. Then let's give the opportunities to those who need them!"
"If they're really unconvinced, they can come and challenge us themselves!"
Seeing that Song Qiao held strong reservations about top-tier hospitals, Gao Meng and Xia Xueqing were momentarily stunned.
"Actually, what you're saying isn't wrong."
"It's precisely the complacent atmosphere of the entire top-tier hospital system that caused them to miss such a good opportunity!"
"It's just that I wonder if they will reflect on this."
Song Qiao glanced at the time and assigned tasks to them:
"Since Jess Clinic hasn't said anything, let's not rush."
"How's the contact with Chang Fazhi Pharmaceutical going?"
"Have you found any suitable candidates?"
Xia Xueqing snatched the task from Gao Meng.
"I'll go and contact them!"
"There's no time to lose, let's complete it as soon as possible!"
Xia Xueqing did not refuse and left the office to handle the matter directly.
