Chapter: 1274

He Chen's eyes noticed Wei Liang was a bit nervous, and he smiled calmly, changing the subject to ask, "By the way, how's business at Wei's pharmacy lately?"

Wei Liang straightened his expression and reported, "Master He, overall development at our pharmaceutical company is still stable, but we've encountered some obstacles in expanding into new markets."

"What kind of obstacles?" He Chen asked curiously, considering Wei's pharmacy had little competition in the domestic pharmaceutical industry.

However, if you don't find good formulas for new drugs, even a powerful pharmaceutical company would be meaningless.

Wei Liang hastened to respond, "Recently, Wei's pharmacy has invested heavily and developed a new type of patent medicine. Its main function is to dispel evil, soothe the stomach, clear the heart, and relieve symptoms such as stomach pain, acid reflux, and dry heaves."

He Chen nodded, saying, "Gastrointestinal diseases are also common among modern people. According to my knowledge, there aren't many pharmaceutical companies domestically that make stomach medications, except for Three-Nine Stomach Tonic, which has some reputation. Under such circumstances, you probably won't face too much obstruction."

Wei Liang frowned and explained, "I developed this medicine after seeing the excessive drinking among city dwellers and many young white-collar workers developing stomach diseases at a young age. The potential customer base is huge, so I brought in a team to work on it, finding an effective formula from numerous ancient recipes. However, I didn't expect foreign companies to snatch up our formula first, and they're even optimizing it based on our original recipe."

He Chen furrowed his brow, asking, "Foreign companies? Stealing our Chinese traditional medicine formulas? Don't those companies mainly use Western medicine?"

Wei Liang shook his head, saying, "No, it's not Western medicine. Lin Xi Pharmaceutical Company got their hands on one of our domestic recipes and then developed a stomach powder based on that recipe. The efficacy of this stomach powder is indeed stronger than ours, so the stomach powder market has already been taken over by Lin Xi Pharmaceutical Company, which is very unfavorable for us."

He paused for a moment before speaking with some dismay, "Let's not talk about other things. Lin Xi Pharmaceutical Company's level of development in traditional medicine is indeed extremely high. From the time Lin Zhengnan was around, they've been making profits worldwide using Han Chinese medicine formulas. After all these years, their foundation is too deep."

"What about Lin Xi Pharmaceutical Company?" He Chen asked upon hearing this, furrowing his brow and opening his mouth to ask.

Wei Liang nodded and let out a sigh, saying, "Lin Xi Pharmaceutical Company is, after all, Asia's top pharmaceutical company. As long as they don't hurt people, they still have very strong competitiveness. They also have the best hardware experimental laboratory and research team in Asia, so they can optimize a stomach powder based on ancient recipes."

He Chen smiled slightly, surprised that Lin Xi Pharmaceutical Company was indeed quite capable, having managed to turn over hundreds of billions of yuan despite being heavily injured, and could potentially make a comeback so quickly.

At this point, Wei Liang also sighed, lamenting, "This precious legacy left behind by our ancestors. We ourselves couldn't make good use of it, and in the end, we let foreign people steal it away. It's truly regrettable."

He Chen asked, "How big is Lin Xi Pharmaceutical Company's impact on you now?"

Wei Liang said, "Just in terms of stomach medicine, the impact is extremely big. In the long run, Lin Xi Pharmaceutical Company is actively developing new medicines, and I estimate that they will gradually eat away at our development space. Right now, Wei's Pharmaceutical Company's revenue has already been heavily affected, with most of the investment in stomach medicine going to waste. Then we'll have to continue researching new medicines, and if we succeed, it would be great, but if we fail, we'll fall further into the pit."

He continued, "In this period, the World University Students' Karate Tournament is about to start, which will be held at our Jinling location. This tournament is sponsored by Lin Xi Pharmaceutical Company, and the publicity is enormous."

He Chen curiously asked, "Will Mr. Lin come?"

Wei Liang said, "I'm not too clear on that, but according to reports, this year's award ceremony guest is a high-ranking official from Lin Xi Pharmaceutical Company. It's unclear who it might be, possibly even Mr. Lin himself."

He Chen lightly nodded his head.

In fact, the Nine Heavens Classic Records contained numerous magical ancient medical prescriptions, including dozens of stomach medicine formulas. Simply taking out one formula could completely crush Wei Liang and help him thoroughly trounce Lin Xi Pharmaceutical Company.

However, pharmaceuticals are a highly profitable industry, so I can't help Wei Liang for free.

"Then he said to Wei Liang, 'Wei Liang, I do have some good formulas in my hand. If I produce them, they will definitely be bestsellers, divine medicines. If I invest using the formulas, how many shares are you willing to give me?'"

Wei Liang almost didn't hesitate and said, "Master Ye, Wei Liang's success today is all thanks to your achievements. The entire Wei Pharmaceutical Company is yours, as long as you say so. Wei Liang will immediately surrender and hand over everything."

Wei Liang was very clear in his mind. JrNovels.com
