Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1301: First Phase Elderly Group

Chen Shengwang did not have any reluctance; although he hid the Yin Spring very well, it was not a unique resource of Fanghu.

If no one discovered it, in several years, if Chen Shengwang was willing to build a branch there, he might be able to occupy the Yin Spring, but he wouldn’t have the right to claim it "has been ours since ancient times."

Feng Jun stayed at Luohua for ten more days, waiting for the discharge of sixty cancer patients.

This time, not everyone had perfectly eliminated cancer cells. A patient introduced by Wudang had cancer cells spread too diffusely, so one treatment cycle could not entirely engulf them.

However, this person’s physical condition was still fine, so he could directly proceed to the next treatment cycle.

Everyone else had left, but he didn’t. This patient felt a bit disappointed, but seeing others cured also gave him hope. He even joked, "It looks like my life is more precious, it actually costs forty million."

Feng Jun informed him through Li Shishi: Two million is the cost for cancer treatment, you won’t have to pay again.

Grateful, this patient couldn’t help but curse the two disruptive fellow patients: Such a kind place as Luohua Manor, yet it was subjected to cursing and attacks. When I get out, I must find those two for some trouble.

Two days later, the follow-up results for most patients came back, and this person felt more at ease - if others could be cured, surely I can too.

The one keeping contact with him was dealing with cancer patients accepted by society, the other thirty had special identities and only had slight contact, but those thirty in society had pretty good relationships.

Among the thirty, some were rich, some were poor; the poorest was the one selling skewers in Jin City, but even he has fifty to sixty million in cash. Needless to say, the richer.

In short, these individuals who could at least afford two million for treatment fees, had a baseline wealth much higher than average value, so someone organized a WeChat group pulling everyone in.

The group’s name initially was "Escape from Desperation," later changed to "A Good Deed a Day," but eventually, it had a loud name "Luohua Phase One Veteran Group."

The group leader was originally a listed company’s boss, but later for unknown reasons, transferred the leadership to someone called "Red Cross Hua."

Of course, the group’s story wasn’t just about an ID who hadn’t undergone treatment, yet was transferred to be the group leader. More importantly, the group originally had thirty-one people, but later surprisingly grew to a group of five hundred.

The real "Luohua Phase One" only had thirty people; they weren’t even qualified to be called "phase one," as there were three batches of patients before them, but those three... better left unsaid, were under tight organizational arrangements.

This phase was genuinely open to society, so calling themselves the first phase wasn’t an exaggeration. And these people had a common feature: not being sure how good Luohua’s treatment was, but willing to spend money to survive. Not only were they bold, but they also had substantial assets.

The many phases after that were a different story; as Luohua’s reputation spread, treatment fees repeatedly fell. Many people went bankrupt or borrowed money seeking treatment. After healing cancer, they might end up heavily in debt.

Precisely because of this, "Luohua Phase One" became a status symbol—not for having had cancer, but as "wealthy, daring, and lucky."

Because of the shared experience of surviving against the odds, and their considerable net worth, group members were quite friendly to each other.

Occasionally, someone in the group would say, "Still short of a thousand for the bid bond, what to do? Online, very urgent."

This one thousand meant over ten million, not a little over a thousand bucks.

Then below, a uniform formation would emerge, "Big Boss, please take me along, check private chat," "Big Boss, please take me along, check private chat," "Big Boss, please take me along, check private chat," "Big Boss, please take me along, check private chat"...

This friendly atmosphere was heard by the second phase, third phase... many phases of patients; of course, they were very interested in joining this group—it could already be regarded as a social platform, especially with all being high-quality...high net worth individuals.

The first to join, who wasn’t from phase one, was a friend of the old group leader, also a listed company boss.

After joining, he first sent out twenty red packets of five thousand each, the contents were repetitious like a recorder, "Finally joined the legendary first group," "Finally joined the legendary first group," "Finally joined the legendary first group"...

Then this became the standard for entering the group, after joining the Luohua Phase One Veteran Group, first send a hundred thousand in red packets.

Who knows when, this group reached five hundred people. Generally speaking, all were people of status and position; IDs often marked which phase of patients they were or friends in the group identifying address and identity.

Although the group was large, there were very few who lurked, many joked but very few made irresponsible promises, because when "Red Cross Hua" kicked someone out, they didn’t care about the person’s status.

For example, there was an ID called "head of the second of zheng monitoring," because he promised to help a group member’s company go public and failed to within six months, while his attitude wasn’t good, so "Red Cross Hua" simply removed him.

Once someone was kicked, the group went to four hundred and ninety-nine members; instantly, a group member would invite a friend to join, the group leader would select a new member to join within three days, restoring the number to five hundred, then the new member starts handing out red packets...

Eventually, eligibility for group membership became more sought after, so to prevent being expelled by "Red Cross Hua," after saying something possibly inappropriate, a ten thousand red packet would immediately be sent, "Just a joke," "Just a joke"...

One day, someone who forwarded a charity fundraising was kicked out, "Red Cross Hua" explained in the group the reason for kicking: "Raising thirty thousand in charity, and also need to forward it to the group, can’t he help this matter himself?"

Then, a guy named "Luo Hua Shi Jie You Feng Jun" was invited into the group.

Someone egged on by saying the newcomer should send a red envelope, but that guy played dead and just didn’t send one, so someone mentioned the group admin, saying the newcomer didn’t follow the rules and should be kicked out.

Then came a neat and uniform formation: "Kick him out," "Kick him out," "Kick him out"...

However, someone noticed that Luo Hua Shi Jie You Feng Jun was invited by the group admin, so they didn’t join in the jeering.

An ID broke the formation; the ID name was "Qing Ming Shi Jie Yu Shishi." Everyone knows this is Luohua’s management, a young girl with the last name Li, "That’s our Big Boss, no jeering allowed."

Instantly, four or five red envelopes appeared—sent by those who understood the situation, "Welcome, Elder Feng."

This is the only time in Luohua’s first phase of the group where an invited person didn’t send a red envelope upon joining.

In contrast, the other 400-plus group members sent welcome red envelopes to welcome the person into the group.

Luo Hua Shi Jie You Feng Jun rarely made an appearance in the group, but when he did, it was a big deal. For example, "Who’s familiar with the Ping Tang Da Da He Sinkhole? I’ll pay one thousand, looking for an experienced driver..."

It was like a swarm of bees were stirred up, with a neat and immediate formation.

"Who dares to take Elder Feng’s money? Ten cases of Old Wine of Sansheng, bare escort."

"Who dares to take Elder Feng’s money? Ten cases of Old Wine of Sansheng, bare escort +1"

"Who dares to take Elder Feng’s money? Ten cases of Old Wine of Sansheng, bare escort +2, check my Moments."

"Who dares to take Elder Feng’s money? Ten cases of Old Wine of Sansheng, bare escort +3, the person above edited too much, and it’s crucial to scratch the foot as a big man..."

"Who dares to take Elder Feng’s money? Ten cases of Old Wine of Sansheng, bare escort, Boss check my cloud drive, password XXXXXX, pure natural without surgery, ten times compensation for fakes..."

This group is quite jovial, but that’s a story for later. Now the group has just been formed, and not all the first phase veterans have been brought in yet—three veterans don’t even have WeChat accounts.

The second phase came quickly, with thirty organizational slots finalized even before the patients were discharged, and of the thirty social slots, one from the previous phase wasn’t completed, and seven were rejected after applying last time, leaving only twenty-two spots.

These twenty-two spots were also filled in advance. Li Shishi learned from the last lesson and required that each person’s name be reported as soon as they were confirmed, just like registering, on a first-come, first-served basis.

As for anyone after the twenty-two, apologies, you’ll have to wait for the third batch.

The village head of the village where Li Shishi’s family lives was screened out last time, but this time he was automatically added, which should make him happy, as the reason he was screened out was that the condition wasn’t severe enough.

But the village head felt a bit miffed, thinking Xiao Li wasn’t acting honorably and not giving face to him as the big village head; he complained a lot to his family after coming back.

This time, Li Shishi notified him, and it was the village head’s brother who answered the phone. Upon hearing that Luohua was notifying his brother to pay and get treatment, the brother straightforwardly replied, "We’ll see; the family might not be able to pool the money."

A day later, the village head’s wife heard about the matter and, worried about her husband’s condition, proactively called Li Shishi, asking when the treatment would start so they could go and raise the money.

The village head’s family isn’t short of money, but they can’t let the whole world know, right? A little bit of crying poor is necessary.

Li Shishi replied crisply, "This round is full; you’ll have to wait for the next one."

The village head’s wife was immediately anxious, "Shishi, how can you be like this, after all, he’s your uncle. Last time, he was turned down, but this time he should have his turn, right?"

"He did have a turn, but last time when I called, Second Uncle said to see how it goes and didn’t confirm he was signing up," Li Shishi had no actual relation with the village head’s family, one surnamed Li and the other Liu, so calling him uncle was just courtesy.

The village head’s wife wasn’t agreeable, "Shishi, we never said we wouldn’t go, our family was raising money, right?"

"Second Uncle was considering, and when others heard, they took my uncle’s spot," Li Shishi answered helplessly, "I can’t say much about it either."

The patient in line behind, originally only twenty-two were selected, and upon hearing that someone ahead might not have the money, the twenty-third said, well then choose me, after all, it’s not right to delay everyone’s treatment, right?

The village head’s wife was furious, "Who dares to take the spot of my Lao Liu, who has such audacity?"
