Chapter Thirty-Five

"Chairman, the fax of the shrimp inspection report we sent to the provincial agricultural research institute has come through," Su Wan rushed into Shangguan Baihe's office.

"Oh, let me see it quickly," Shangguan Baihe said.

Su Wan promptly handed the report she was holding to Shangguan Baihe, her expression seeming somewhat excited.

Shangguan Baihe opened the report and quickly skimmed through it, her face showing a shocked expression. The report stated that the large shrimp had no mutant components and that their nutritional value far exceeded that of ordinary shrimp, containing rich minerals, amino acids, vitamins, and surpassed even lobster in nutritional value. With long-term consumption, not only could they prolong life and strengthen the body, but they could even nourish the skin, beautify the complexion, and resist cellular aging.

"No wonder I've been feeling not only full of energy these past few days but even my skin has become smoother."

"Is this still shrimp? It can completely be sold as a health supplement."

Shangguan Baihe's expression was very excited; the large shrimp Long Xiaoshan sent her far exceeded her expectations.

Even the provincial agricultural research institute had given such a high evaluation.

It was clear that the value of these shrimp was far beyond her imagination.

With the report in hand, Shangguan Baihe sensed that an opportunity for her Lily Hotel to soar once again was coming. She instructed Su Wan, "Little Wan, help me contact the TV station immediately, as well as the advertising department of the city and county newspapers. I want to launch a comprehensive advertising campaign. Also, contact the elite from all walks of life in the county, and tell them that I, Shangguan Baihe, am hosting a commercial banquet tomorrow and inviting them to attend."

"Yes, Chairman!" Su Wan quickly agreed and was ready to get busy.

"Wait a moment," Shangguan Baihe called to her.

"Chairman, do you have any other instructions?" Su Wan asked.

"Since these shrimp are so miraculous, they must be separated from ordinary shrimp. Let's simply refer to them as 'Spirit Shrimp.' You should contact Xiaoshan again to register the trademark." Shangguan Baihe, being a business elite, naturally knew the value of branding.

"Yes, I will contact him," Su Wan nodded in agreement.

With Shangguan Baihe's influence and significant financial investment, that evening, the county TV stations and newspapers all ran adverts for Lily Hotel's Spirit Shrimp.

Even the light box advertisements on the streets, buses, and building exteriors were plastered with ads for Spirit Shrimp.

The effort was truly unprecedented.

Such a massive amount of advertising made Spirit Shrimp a household name in Niu Y County overnight, and the next day, inside the Lily Hotel, a commercial banquet was being held. As one of the leading hotels in Niu Y County, Shangguan Baihe was also known as the county's foremost beauty.

The commercial banquet she hosted, except for her direct competitors, was an event almost no one would refuse to attend out of respect for her.

Within the Lily Hotel's Lily Hall, the elite gathered; those invited here were at least well-known business personalities in the city and county or elites from various fields, with assets starting in the millions.

Among all attendees, Shangguan Baihe in her black evening gown became the dazzling center of attention.

Despite the many rumors about her, including that a city official had died suddenly from humiliating her, her mystery and beauty were like a poppy flower, attracting countless men to madness.

"I invited the elite from all fields today for two reasons: first, to exchange ideas and promote the economic development of our county, and second, our Lily Hotel has developed a new product, which I would like the esteemed guests and industry leaders to try," she said with a languid and magnetic voice. Her every move was filled with endless charm, causing many men's blood to surge with excitement.

"Whatever new product Miss Shangguan has, I, Li San, will definitely support it, haha." A middle-aged man wearing a thick gold chain, looking somewhat fierce, laughed loudly, his eyes greedily lingering on Shangguan Baihe's shapely figure.

"Thank you, Boss Li," Shangguan Baihe said with a light smile.

She clapped her hands, and a group of waiters from the Lily Hotel filed in, each carrying a tray with a silver bowl overturned on top.

At each banquet table, a plate was served, and when the silver bowls were lifted, a delicious fragrance quickly filled the room.

In these plates, there were two large shrimp each, one steamed and one braised in brown sauce.

"Miss Shangguan, is this possibly the magical shrimp that your hotel is currently promoting?" a local real estate businessman said.

The advertisement for Lily Hotel had been aggressive, so most people there had heard of it. Shangguan Baihe smiled and said, "Yes, Boss Pang, these magical shrimp of mine are not ordinary shrimp. They have been certified by the provincial agricultural research institute as premium medicinal shrimp. They not only taste far better than lobster, but they also benefit beauty and skincare, resist aging, and strengthen the body... All right, if I say too much, you might think I'm boasting. Why don't you try them yourselves? If they are not good, I'll shut down Lily Hotel."

Shangguan Baihe's words piqued everyone's interest.

Daring to wager her hotel, it was clear that Shangguan Baihe had great confidence in her shrimp. However, the many effects she had described sounded just like the exaggerated claims of health product advertisements, capable of deceiving ordinary people. Yet, those present were all business elites and celebrities, who would hardly believe such talk.

Skeptical though they were, since the shrimp had been served, and out of respect for Shangguan Baihe, everyone picked up their chopsticks for a taste.

After one bite, everyone was astounded by the deliciousness of the shrimp.

At least in terms of taste, Shangguan Baihe hadn't bragged; the deliciousness of the large shrimp surpassed the premium Australian lobster they had eaten before.

Everyone kept going for more.

Although there were over two pounds of lobster, they quickly disappeared under the collective feasting of those at the table.

The other dishes on the table were merely touched symbolically, but the two large shrimp served at each table were all completely devoured.

After eating, the effects of the Spirit Shrimp kicked in.

Everyone felt their whole body warming up, and their energy levels surged.

"Comfortable, eating this shrimp feels like having taken a powerful tonic pill."

"Not bad, I feel much more spirited."

These big bosses were all very busy and involved in socializing, so their health was definitely not the best, with some rarely getting a few hours of sleep. But after eating the Spirit Shrimp, their energy levels rose.

Shangguan Baihe then presented the inspection reports from the provincial research institute, completely dispelling their suspicions of the shrimp being medicated.

"Miss Shangguan, do you have more of these magical shrimp? Sell me ten first."

"I want some too, Miss Shangguan."

"Give me twenty."

For the rich, money was no longer the most important thing; it was their health. The wealthier they were, the more they understood the importance of health. If one's health was poor, no amount of money could be enjoyed. It's like a beautiful woman, enticing and vibrant, standing naked before you, but you are unable to become aroused. That kind of embarrassment.

The effect of the Spirit Shrimp thrilled them beyond measure.

Shangguan Baihe had anticipated that these shrimp would not be hard to sell, as she ate them herself every day and could genuinely feel the changes in her body.

Seeing the atmosphere heat up,

Shangguan Baihe apologetically said, "I'm sorry, but our supply of magical shrimp is still limited at the moment, and we're currently in the promotional stage. We're only supplying ten per day on a limited basis. Those who want to make a reservation will have to wait until the supply increases. I promise to give priority to all of you when the time comes."

...

Long Xiaoshan received a call from Su Wan, who asked, "Sister Wan, is something the matter?"

"Xiaoshan, hurry, do you have any more shrimp?" Su Wan sounded very excited and anxious.

"What happened?" Long Xiaoshan said.

"They've sold out, your shrimp are selling like crazy. Our chairman is in a panic, and many of them are VIP customers of Lily Hotel, including some local leaders... Never mind, do you have any more shrimp? If you do, our hotel will take them all," Su Wan said urgently.

"I do, I've just raised another batch," Long Xiaoshan said as he looked at the large shrimp in the backyard pond that had all grown to the size of three fingers in just a week.
