Once the matter was exposed, regardless of whether the longevity pills had any effect or not, all the media, as well as those who had once attempted to buy the longevity pills but couldn't, would attack Qi Nian Hall simultaneously.
Moreover, the widespread coverage of these longevity pills meant that everyone could have them. Qi Nian Hall's initial claim of limited availability was due to the difficulty in producing these pills. However, Li Fei knew very well that such a statement was complete nonsense because the formula for these pills was quite simple—producing several thousand pills per batch was as easy as playing a game.
Producing a batch took only about half an hour, and their pharmaceutical factory could easily produce tens of thousands of pills a day. The reason they did not do so was firstly to drive up the price from the sidelines, and secondly, they feared that people would turn this into a business, even going so far as to hire people to queue up to buy these things.
