Chapter 1817 - 1817 Cracking Down on Maca
Chapter 1817 Cracking Down on Maca
“It has?”
“The highest record has been broken by now?”
“How long has it been since the opening? The first product has just been finished, and now the ratings stay record-breaking?”
“If this keeps going, there will be a new record!”
At Zhongzhou TV Station, all the staff and leaders were shocked by the power of Fang Qiu.
If the high ratings of the first episode were due to Fang Qiu’s own popularity, then the sustained high ratings of the second episode must be attributed to the show’s excellent quality.
A show couldn’t last long with only one person’s efforts.
The content of the show itself was the real key to the show’s success.
Undoubtedly, Fang Qiu grasped the key perfectly.
Not only did he keep the audience who watched the show for him, but he also perfectly attracted more viewers with the quality of the show.
At this moment, the leaders and senior executives of the TV station were not surprised by Fang Qiu’s personal popularity, but rather shocked by Fang Qiu’s ability to control the show.
The show, which sounded quite boring, was skillfully made into a show full of variety by Fang Qiu, which was so captivating that one couldn’t stop watching.
This was pure talent.
Ordinary people couldn’t possibly achieve this level.
At the same time, the senior executives of other TV stations also received the news.
Since Fang Qiu’s show had settled in Zhongzhou TV Station, it had been a foregone conclusion, so the other major TV stations did not pay attention to the real-time ratings of the second episode.
However, when the ratings of the second episode of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room surpa.s.sed the highest of the first episode, the news still reached the top management of the major TV stations at the first time possible.
Those leaders and senior executives were all shocked.
They were also watching the show, and they also knew that the show had just begun.
The highest ratings of the last episode had already shocked them. Unexpectedly, not long after the start of this episode, it directly broke the highest ratings of the previous episode.
This kind of achievement was simply too stunning.
The leaders of the major TV stations were all astounded. They couldn’t believe that Fang Qiu had actually taken a show to such a level.
Right now, the show was still going on.
On the TV screen, Fang Qiu put down the grape seed products and then guided the camera to the second white table.
There are also some products with coded labels taped on their logos placed on this table.
The camera swept over these products so that everyone could see them.
“What is this thing?”
Fang Qiu picked up one of the products and said, “This product is called ginkgo biloba extract.
“There are various products such as ginkgo biloba drops, ginkgo biloba extract tablets, ginkgo capsules, and many more.
“The efficacy labeled on these products include: preventing stroke, myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases, helping to prevent and treat early Alzheimer’s disease, especially helping to restore and improve memory, lowering blood viscosity, increasing blood supply to the brain, improving cerebral blood circulation and microcirculation nutrient exchanges, and anti-lipid oxidation, slowing down the aging of health care functions!”
Speaking of this, Fang Qiu slowed down a bit.
Then, he said, “Recently, I saw an advertis.e.m.e.nt that went like this.
“Cardiovascular is the river of life of the human body, but as the standard of living continues to improve, our dietary structure is gradually enhanced, and our blood lipids are also elevated.
“Survey shows that high blood fat has become a common disease of middle-aged and elderly people, and the resulting variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease has become a threat to the main culprit of the statement of the middle-aged and elderly people.
“High blood fat is very dangerous. It has no obvious symptoms but quietly devours life.”
With that, Fang Qiu picked up a bottle of medicine from the table.
He placed it in front of the livestream camera and said, “This medicine in the advertis.e.m.e.nt is made mainly of ginkgo biloba leaves, ca.s.sia seeds, lotus leaves, hawthorn, and other ingredients. The seller claims that through scientific composition and animal and human functional tests, it’s proved to have health benefits of a.s.sisting in lowering blood lipids and clearing blood waste.
“Just for this small bottle, the retail price is up to 300 Huaxia coins!”
Fang Qiu shook his head and sighed, saying, “Actually, in clinical studies in Murica, scientists have found that ginkgo biloba extract is not helpful for elderly dementia, and there is no significant effect in preventing stroke and lowering blood pressure in clinical studies. Moreover, long-term consumption of ginkgo biloba extract may have side effects, including allergies, headaches, stomachaches, and so on.
“It can also interact with anticoagulant drugs.
“In fact, Some animal studies in rats have also found that long-term use of ginkgo biloba extract greatly increases the risk of emotional and splenic adenocarcinoma. Of course, it remains to be proven whether this side effect is also present in humans, but this at least suggests that this supplement may not be as safe as we think it is.”
After that, Fang Qiu placed the extract of ginkgo leaves in his hand on the table and said seriously to the camera, “Therefore, I suggest that everyone should not consume this product. After all, its benefits are not significant, and the potential side effects may be considerable.”
He shook his head and sighed softly.
“As a Chinese Medicine pract.i.tioner, I can tell you that ginkgo leaves are also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine.”
Fang Qiu continued, “Ginkgo leaves are also known as duck foot leaves, white fruit tree leaves or white sun tree leaves in traditional Chinese Medicine. They are distributed throughout the country and are harvested from June to September. The medicinal herb is yellow-green in color, smooth and hairless, with thin petioles, light texture, easy to tear, a fragrant scent, and a slightly bitter taste.
“It is flat in nature, sweet, bitter, and astringent in flavor. It works on the heart and lung meridians.
“The effect and function of the ginkgo leaves are astringing lungs, calming breathing, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and relieving pain.
“It can be used to treat lung deficiency and coughing, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, and hyperlipidemia.”
After introducing the ginkgo leaves, Fang Qiu said, “The money you spend on buying a bottle of health supplements can be used to purchase several doses of traditional Chinese medicine, and it’s important to note that the combination and properties of Chinese medicine are two separate concepts. Traditional Chinese medicine not only has material properties but also medicinal properties.”
When he finished speaking, Fang Qiu put down the product in his hand and walked toward the third table.
“Next, let’s talk about the third product of this episode.”
Fang Qiu, with the camera, arrived at the third table. He guided the camera to sweep around the table before saying, “Maca!”
Just as he finished speaking, the TV screen suddenly switched to advertis.e.m.e.nts.
Now, all the viewers immediately got intrigued.
They all got excited when they heard the name Maca.
It should be noted that Maca was a top-notch product that was all the rage on the market.
“Is Fang Qiu going to crack down on counterfeit goods?
“Judging from Fang Qiu’s performance, he’s exposing and criticizing every product he presents on the show.
“Is it possible that Maca is also false advertising?”
Everyone was staring at the TV screen. Even if it was an advertis.e.m.e.nt, they didn’t want to miss a second. They all wanted to see what comments Fang Qiu would make on Maca.
…
At Zhongzhou TV Station.
“4%! The ratings have exceeded 4%!”
During the period of the advertis.e.m.e.nt, the news came quickly.
When the news was spread, everyone at the TV station was shocked.
“The ratings have exceeded 4%?”
“4% by now?”
“Wow, this is just the second episode of the show. The rising trend is unbelievable!”
Everyone was talking about it.
Just then, a senior executive of the TV station asked excitedly, “What about now?”
“According to the real-time ratings, it has now reached 4.3%!”
His subordinate reported.
When everyone heard that, they became even more stunned.
When they heard that the ratings had exceeded 4%, they were already shocked. But they didn’t expect that it had reached 4.3% by now, which was incredible.
For a moment, all the people at Zhongzhou TV Station were cheering wildly.
Meanwhile, the news also reached the higher-ups of other TV stations.
“Holy s.h.i.+t!”
“4.3%? How could it be so high?”
“d.a.m.n it. We missed out on a lot!”
The leaders of the major TV stations all smiled wryly.
They really missed out on a lot by not taking Fang Qiu’s show.
“The ratings have exceeded 4.3%.
“If we had that stunning rating, it would definitely make us into the ranks of the top three domestic television stations!
“Unfortunately, we missed our opportunity.”
No matter how much they regretted it, they could only watch.
Just when everyone was eagerly antic.i.p.ating, some people suddenly became nervous after hearing what Fang Qiu said.
Not only those who engaged in healthcare product promotion but also some pharmaceutical companies selling healthcare products began to get nervous.
“Fang Qiu won’t really crack down on Maca, will he?”
Before long, the four 15-second advertis.e.m.e.nts ended.
The show was back on TV.
At this point, Fang Qiu was already standing in front of a white table.
“Welcome back.”
After saying that to the camera, Fang Qiu continued to add with a smile, “Next, let me introduce Maca to you!
“In recent years, a plant product named Maca has gradually taken the lead in the domestic healthcare product market.
“Unlike many healthcare products, it’s claimed that Maca can help enhance s.e.xual ability, which has also attracted a lot of attention. So, what exactly is this mysterious healthcare product? Can it really improve s.e.xual function?
“Maca is a cruciferous plant native to the Andes mountains in Southern Murica. It belongs to the same family as radishes, and its root has a similar shape to round carrots. In the local area, the root of maca is a vegetable that can be consumed by humans and livestock!
“However, the ones who promoted the Maca products are clearly not satisfied with treating it as a novel foreign vegetable. So as long as you search for it on the Internet, you will find many exaggerated descriptions of the effect.
“You can even see online that due to the high unit nutrient drink contained in Maca, it has the common function of nouris.h.i.+ng and strengthening the body. Those who consume it will feel energetic, mentally sharp, and not fatigued. Maca can also promote metabolism, resist stress and enhance human and animal performance, fertility, and milk secretion. It can also eliminate menopausal disorders, slow down aging, and enhance brain vitality…”
