Chapter 170 The Cycle of Cause and Effect, Xu Youyou Takes the Blade! (2/2)



I don't believe that someone selling medicine like her wouldn't know the medicine was counterfeit.

[Wait a minute, I think everyone's been misled by these marketing accounts. Xu Youyou did sell medicine that didn't meet efficacy standards, but she wasn't selling counterfeit medicine; she was selling substandard medicine. The difference is that the efficacy wasn't up to par.]

There are definitely problems with those! A thorough investigation is recommended!

Even many bloggers and video accounts that focus on traffic have begun to speak out online.

Some knowledgeable people also took this opportunity to create related videos to explain the difference between substandard and counterfeit drugs.

Many people have a misconception that substandard drugs are the same as counterfeit drugs. After all, "substandard" and "counterfeit" both mean "inferior" and "fake," but in fact, relevant legal regulations distinguish and interpret "substandard drugs."

Simply put, substandard drugs refer to drugs whose ingredient content does not meet national drug standards and whose efficacy is not up to standard, although they generally still contain the corresponding ingredients.

Even more despicable counterfeit drugs are disguised as non-pharmaceutical or other pharmaceutical products, replacing the original ingredients and making false claims. For example, the most typical case is using starch to disguise as a special effect capsule to deceive the elderly into buying it for profit.

Although counterfeit drugs are now widely known, substandard drugs are still quite common in real life. They often enter the market quietly through the packaging and batch numbers of legitimate pharmaceutical companies, or by exploiting loopholes in legitimate channels. They superficially "meet" some testing standards, but in reality, they are evading detection. Ordinary people find it even more difficult to distinguish them—after all, the efficacy of medicine varies from person to person, making comparisons virtually impossible, and they simply wouldn't question the efficacy of the drug.

Some unscrupulous merchants even use slogans like "mild effects" and "natural with no side effects" to deliberately reduce the efficacy of the medicine and turn it into a major selling point for their products.

Meanwhile, when such reports of substandard drugs appear, a large number of media outlets deliberately blur the distinction between the two in order to grab attention, uniformly referring to them as "fake drugs," leading to public misconceptions, a lack of understanding of these drugs, and an inability to accurately protect their rights.

This has led to the long-term acceptance of substandard drugs in the market, forming a hidden distribution channel.

Another point is that, if these substandard drugs do not cause serious harm, the penalties are usually lighter than those for counterfeit drugs.

"Based on the information circulating online so far, if Xu Youyou really was unaware of the substandard drugs, she would probably only be subject to administrative penalties. However, Kemingen's drugs are always expensive, and the amount of money Xu Youyou has made selling and profiting from within the industry over the past year is not small. According to the regulations, the fine is generally between ten and twenty times the value of the drugs. Therefore, it is very likely that she will face an exorbitant fine."

A lawyer in a suit sat in front of the camera, talking eloquently. The comments on the screen were scrolling by rapidly. Xiao He picked out a few interesting comments, liked them, and then exited the Bilibili video.

Liu Rulan also pushed open the door and entered: "Have you seen the news about Xu Youyou?"

"I saw it, I just logged out," Xiao He replied.

“It’s really surprising,” Liu Rulan said, spreading her hands. “With the trending topics about her and Ke Ming’en, ​​almost no one is paying attention to your affairs anymore. I was originally going to do some public relations, but now it seems that it has saved me the trouble.”

Currently, those speaking under the official account of "Yu Ye" are ultimately only one group, but when it comes to socially relevant topics, it involves netizens from all walks of life participating in the discussion.

As a result, the once-popular trending topic "Yuya" quickly fell off the trending list and disappeared without a trace.

If Xiao He hadn't been certain he hadn't premeditated this, he might have suspected it was all planned in advance, with Xu Youyou and the others stepping in to shield him from the bullets.

But thinking back to when Xu Youyou and the others planned to drag Xiao He out to help shield him from the dating scandal, now that karma has come full circle, Xu Youyou is helping Xiao He suppress the trending topics. Isn't that a perfect match, a beginning and an end?

Liu Rulan sighed: "Why would she do something so drastic when she was perfectly fine?"

Xu Youyou can be said to have played a winning hand terribly.
