Chapter 1818 - 1818 Central Television With Regret
At this point, Fang Qiu shook his head and added, “The slogans sound amazing, but the authenticity of it is highly questionable. Is the miraculous effect of this South Murican plant on human health really that amazing?”
The audience was also very curious.
“Is Maca really that effective?”
On the TV screen.
After introducing Maca, Fang Qiu paused briefly before staring at the camera and continuing, “Among all the various promotions for Maca, the one that attracts the most attention is its ability to enhance sexual performance.
“In many advertisements, Maca has become an all-around medicine for improving sexual health. It is not only effective for men, but also for women. It treats infertility, and irregular menstruation, improves menopause symptoms, and so on. The same kind of plant can not only improve men’s reproductive function but also women’s. Don’t you think it seems to be too omnipotent?”
The audience was slightly stunned upon hearing those words.
Men and women were built completely differently, and their reproductive systems were even more different. In this case, how could there be a plant that worked on two completely different reproductive systems?
While the audience was thinking, Fang Qiu continued, “In fact, there is still a lack of evidence to support the effectiveness of Maca on reproductive function. Most of the current related research has only been conducted on experimental animals, and there is little clinical data. Moreover, the quality of the research is not high, and there is no data on the female reproductive system.
“A medical center of a Murican university points out that although Maca has appeared in public as a magical drug to improve sexual performance, there is currently no reliable evidence to prove that it has such effects. Unlike widely reported cases, this plant is also unable to have any impact on the hormone levels in male bodies.
“At present, the only advantage of Maca is that it is relatively safe. If Maca does not contain any other efficacy ingredients, there is basically no need to worry about safety issues. However, the summary of safety by medical centers is still quite cautious. Although clinical trials using Maca have not caused any serious side effects, this drug has not undergone comprehensive safety testing. The safety in populations such as young children, pregnant and lactating women, and those with severe liver or kidney disease is still uncertain.
“In addition, male enhancement health products are also a high-risk area for illegally added substances, and it is not ruled out that certain products labeled as Maca may add certain drugs, bringing additional health risks.
“That is to say-
“Based on the current information, there doesn’t seem to be anything miraculous about Maca.”
After saying those words, Fang Qiu put down the Maca products in his hand and said with a smile, “Personally, I think instead of spending a lot of money on Maca, it’s better to spend a little money on buying Six-flavored Dihuang Pills or Guifu Dihuang Pills. They are not only cheaper but also effective.”
The conclusion was already very obvious.
Maca was not as magical as the rumors said. It did not have the same effect as the advertisement said, which meant Maca was also a scam.
The audience figured it out.
Many businessmen who were watching the show were devastated after hearing Fang Qiu’s words.
As businessmen, they themselves didn’t take these so-called miraculous products, and they also had some understanding of the truth behind them.
However, they didn’t expect Fang Qiu to expose some of these truths on TV.
It seemed that Fang Qiu was cracking down on all those fake miraculous products.
At the thought of that, the major healthcare product promotion companies immediately started to get anxious.
They must not let Fang Qiu continue like this, and they must stop him.
How many healthcare products had been exposed in the two episodes?
Previously, their attempts to buy off people related to Fang Qiu in various ways to prevent Fang Qiu from targeting their brands had all ended in failure.
Now it seemed that they had to try their best to think of other plans.
In any case, they would never let Fang Qiu continue with this show.
Anyway, it was Fang Qiu who made the first move, and Fang Qiu had already forced them into a dead end. If they let Fang Qiu continue like this, all the healthcare product promotion companies would go bankrupt.
Therefore, they wouldn’t hold back.
…
“Well, that’s all for this episode. See you in the next one.”
Just like the first episode of the show, the second episode ended after the three products were introduced.
The second episode of the show ended perfectly along with Fang Qiu’s goodbye.
The TV screen also switched to an advertisement as well.
However, all the people who stayed in front of the TV still hadn’t dispersed.
Everyone enjoyed the show very much.
They also began to discuss and make jokes about it.
“It seems that Fang Qiu is about to become the spokesperson for science in these two episodes, isn’t he?”
“Haha, it seems that Fang Qiu has put in a lot of effort to prepare for the show. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find so much data to prove what he said.”
“Is Fang Qiu still a Chinese Medicine doctor?”
“I don’t know this guy. The Fang Qiu I know is a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner.”
“Six healthcare products have been exposed in two episodes. According to the data announced, there are a total of six episodes in the show. There are three kinds of products in each episode. Doesn’t that mean that Fang Qiu will crack down on 18 healthcare products in total?”
“That’s wonderful. The more the better.”
The netizens praised Fang Qiu and kept teasing him, saying that Fang Qiu had changed.
But in fact, everyone knew that Fang Qiu intended to criticize these health products on TV in the name of Chinese Medicine, so everyone enjoyed watching the show.
…
At Zhongzhou TV Station.
“What are the final ratings?”
As the second episode ended, all the leaders and senior executives of Zhongzhou TV Station immediately began to ask one after another.
Previously, they had already heard that the ratings had exceeded 4%.
Because of this, they had more expectations in their hearts. They were very eager to see how high the highest ratings of this episode could be in the case of breaking 4%.
“Here it is.”
A staff member ran over quickly with a ratings report in his hand. He said to all the leaders and senior executives with excitement, “The highest ratings have reached 4.5%.”
“The average ratings have reached 4.2%!”
As soon as he said that, all the staff and senior executives on the scene immediately hugged each other excitedly and cheered loudly at the same time.
Although they were prepared, when they heard the result, they still couldn’t help but get excited.
No one had expected the final result would be so amazing.
The ratings of 4.5% would undoubtedly remain NO.1 before New Year.
All the staff at Zhongzhou TV Station were deeply shocked by the ratings of this episode, following their shock from the first episode.
Of course, not only the people at Zhongzhou TV Station were shocked.
At the same time, all the major TV stations in the country also received the ratings for the second episode of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room.
“What?”
“4.5%?”
“How could it be so high?”
Undoubtedly, this achievement once again shocked the people of major national TV stations.
What did the ratings of 4.5% mean?
This was the highest achievement of Zhongzhou TV Station so far.
The highest ratings of many large TV stations could not reach this level.
Only the top three large TV stations in the world could achieve this kind of rating. And even if they could, it was very rare.
In this case, not only the major TV stations but also the higher-ups of Central Television felt a little regretful when they heard the result.
It was obvious that judging from the current situation, the ratings of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room were in a state of continuous increase. The average rating of the first episode exceeded 3%, with a peak rating of 3.7%. In the second episode, the average rating exceeded 4%, reaching a peak rating of 4.5%.
This magnitude of growth was very rare in the industry.
As long as this kind of growth occurred, it meant that the show was definitely a phenomenal one.
Although only two episodes have been broadcast, Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room has been recognized as a phenomenal show.
The fact that a provincial-level TV station could achieve such high ratings was enough to shock everyone.
“4.5%. 4.5… Only the celebration shows during New Year can achieve such ratings.”
When the leaders of Central Television received the news, they couldn’t help shaking their heads and smiling bitterly.
There was no doubt that if such a show was broadcast on Central Television, the ratings would be at least 2 to 3 percent higher. According to the current ratings of this show, the ratings might reach 6.5% to 7.5% if it was broadcast on Central Television, and this was only the second episode.
The upcoming growth, although not too significant, would definitely not be small.
It seemed that the highest ratings of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room might even break the highest ratings of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor.
At the thought of that, the senior executives of Central Television became even more frustrated and smiled wryly.
“This is an opportunity missed.”
The nature of the TV station determined the greatest tolerance of the station.
“Now that I think about it, this show is also quite positive. There is no possibility of any unexpected incidents. From this perspective, we should have taken this show, especially since we have a connection with Li Huawen.”
“What a pity! What a pity!”
“Alas…”
The leaders of Central Television all regretted it.
After all, who could have made Fang Qiu’s show so successful?
…
The second episode was over.
Due to the celebratory banquet that took place yesterday, there wouldn’t be another one today. However, the huge surprise and excitement brought by the ratings prompted the leaders of the TV station to come down and invite Fang Qiu to have a meal, wanting to treat him to a feast.
However, Fang Qiu turned down their invitation.
After leaving the TV station, Fang Qiu went straight back to the hotel.
Just back to the hotel room, Fang Qiu took out his mobile phone, wanting to check the comments and trends online.
But when he searched online, he was shocked to find that there were people attacking him and traditional Chinese medicine.
