Chapter 678 I Want to Attract Investment And Sell the Ad Spot

Hearing Xu Miaolin’s compliment, Fang Qiu laughed and said, “That’s what I should do.”

Xu Miaolin asked, “Well, I heard that this CG animation is different from the ordinary type. It seems to be quite expensive. Who is helping you to pay for this animation in Jianghang?”

Fang Qiu answered, “I paid for it myself.”

Xu Miaolin was shocked and hurriedly asked, “You? How much is it?”

The moment Xu Miaolin saw the news on the Internet, he immediately researched what CG animation was, only to find that it was a high-tech animation and came at a price that was ridiculously high!

At that time, he thought that after Fang Qiu returned to the country, there must be a big company or a rich man who took a fancy to Fang Qiu’s commercial value and had joined hands with him to make this animation.

However, to his surprise, it turned out that it was paid by Fang Qiu himself.

How much would that cost?

Could Fang Qiu afford it?

Fang Qiu replied, “Six million in total.”

On the other end of the phone, Xu Miaolin fell silent.

After a long while, “You’re awesome!”

Xu Miaolin took a deep breath and said in a very ambiguous tone, “There are only a few people in the world who would do this for Chinese Medicine, like you.

“However, as a teacher, I have to teach you something else.

“For so many years, I have been thinking about how to develop Chinese Medicine. But in the end, I found that we’re now in a business era. If we want to develop Chinese Medicine, it must be combined with commercial means. We have to make it commercial, but not too commercial. This is just like what the patients think nowadays. If someone offers him free medicine, he won’t take it. He would rather spend money to buy it. And the more money he spends, the more secure he will feel.

“So, in this era, it’s impossible for Chinese Medicine not to become commercial. To promote Chinese Medicine, we must use commercial means!

“In order to promote Chinese Medicine, we have to use means to make it commercial!”

Xu Miaolin stopped when he said that.

Hearing that, Fang Qiu was confused and thought to himself. “What on earth is Mr. Xu talking about? What is he trying to say?”

Seeing that Xu Miaolin did not continue speaking, Fang Qiu asked curiously, “Mr. Xu? What exactly do you want to say?”

Xu Miaolin scolded him, “How could you still not see it? Such a big event has attracted so many people’s attention. You should attract some advertisers and get some funding! Why did you pay for the CG animation yourself?”

Fang Qiu looked puzzled and said, “But I have money. Even if I don’t have any sponsors, I can still pay for it myself.”

Hearing Fang Qiu’s words, Xu Miaolin almost spat out a mouthful of water and said, “I… Kid, I know you have money. So what? Have you become stupid because of being rich?”

“Just read ‘Zigong’s Ransom’ of the ‘Lu’s Spring and Autumn Xianshi Lan Weicha Chapter’!” After that, Xu Miaolin hung up.

When he heard what Xu Miaolin said, Fang Qiu instantly thought of this article. He had read it before and now he still remembered it very clearly.

The article said, “In ancient times, there was a law in the Lu State. If people of the Lu State became slaves in another country, they could get the ransom reimbursed from the national treasury if someone could save them.”

Once, Confucius’s disciple, Zigong, paid the ransom for a man from the Lu State in another country and refused to accept the country’s compensation after returning to the state.

After learning about it, Confucius said to him, “Zigong, you’re wrong. If you receive compensation from the state, it won’t hurt your moral conduct. But if you don’t accept it, no one in the Lu State will redeem those who are in trouble in other countries.”

Later on, when Zilu rescued a drowning man, the man gave him a cow to express his gratitude. Zilu took it.

Confucius said happily, “The people of the Lu State will definitely save those who fall into the water from now on.”

The implication of this article was very clear.

As Fang Qiu thought about this article, he instantly understood what Xu Miaolin meant. “To promote Chinese Medicine, his own strength was not enough. They have to rely on everyone.”

He could spend money for Chinese Medicine unconditionally because he had money and was willing to do it in this way.

But what about others?

If he started to do it for free, would other people dare to charge when they tried to promote Chinese Medicine?
