The Amazing son in law Chapter 1143

Charlie noticed that Liam appeared a bit anxious. In an attempt to change the subject, he offered a light smile and asked, “How’s your pharmaceutical manufacturing business coming along?”

Liam met Charlie’s gaze and replied, “Master Wade, the recent developments in our pharmaceutical factories are stable, but we’re facing some challenges with expanding into new markets.”

“What kind of challenges?”

Charlie felt puzzled. Given the Weaver family’s strength in pharmaceutical manufacturing, there should be minimal competition in the local industry. Check latest chapters at find[ɴ]ovel.net

With advancements in drug development, finding an effective prescription typically shouldn’t pose a significant issue.

However, if the prescription fails to work, no matter how influential the pharmaceutical factory is, it won’t matter.

Liam quickly explained, “The Weaver family’s pharmaceutical company has made substantial investments in creating a new proprietary Chinese medicine. Its primary functions include exorcising evil, reducing dampness, cooling the blood, easing the heart, and treating various stomach ailments like stomach pain, acid, and retching.”

Charlie nodded thoughtfully. “Stomach issues are quite common these days. From my perspective, there are very few local pharmaceutical companies producing stomach medications. Aside from Pepto-Bismol, which has some recognition, I haven’t heard of any other reputable manufacturers in this area. Based on this, I would think you wouldn’t face too many hurdles, right?”

Liam frowned and elaborated, “I developed this medicine because I’ve observed that many young professionals in the city suffer from stomach problems at an early age due to excessive socializing. Recognizing a significant potential customer base, I assembled a team to tackle this issue and sourced an effective prescription from numerous ancient texts. However, I never anticipated that foreign companies would get ahead of us, using our ancient prescriptions as the basis for their own optimized products.”

Charlie’s expression darkened. “Foreign companies? Stealing our ancient Chinese medicine? Aren’t those companies focused on Western medicine?”

Liam shook his head. “Not Western medicine. Kobayashi Pharma has obtained an ancient prescription from within our country and developed a type of stomach powder based on those traditional methods. Their powder is significantly more effective than ours, allowing them to dominate the market, which puts us at a disadvantage.”

He paused for a moment and continued, frustration evident in his voice. “Let’s not get into the rest, but Kobayashi Pharma’s adaptation of our ancient prescriptions is impressive. Since Masao Kobayashi’s time, they have been profiting from ancient Chinese medicine globally. Their foundation is very solid.”

“Kobayashi Pharma?” Charlie couldn’t help but frown at the mention.

He then inquired, “Wasn’t Kobayashi Pharma once drained of its vitality? Are they still as competitive as before?”

Liam nodded and sighed. “Kobayashi Pharma is still a leading pharmaceutical company. As long as they aren’t severely damaged, their competitiveness remains strong. They also boast Asia’s best laboratory and research team, which has enabled them to create an enhanced version of the stomach powder based on their understanding of ancient medicine.”

Charlie smiled slightly, surprised to discover that Jiro Kobayashi was more capable than he had assumed. Even after being dealt a ten billion setback by Charlie, he managed to recover his standing in a short time.

At that moment, Liam sighed, “We didn’t fully utilize the essence left by our ancestors, and in the end, foreign companies have taken our prescriptions. It’s truly regrettable.”

Charlie asked, “What impact has Kobayashi Pharma had on your company?”

Liam responded, “The effect of this stomach medicine is significant. I anticipate that our growth opportunities will gradually diminish because Kobayashi Pharma is aggressively developing new medications. Currently, Weaver Pharmaceuticals is facing substantial challenges, and the investment in the stomach medicine is nearly depleted. We still need to continue researching new medicines. If we succeed, it could be worthwhile; if we fail, the company will face serious trouble.”

He continued, “Soon, the International University Combat and Fighting Championship will take place in Aurous, sponsored by Kobayashi Pharma. The promotion is massive.”

Curious, Charlie asked, “Will Jiro Kobayashi be attending the event?”

Liam replied, “I’m not entirely sure. However, it’s rumored that a top executive from Kobayashi Pharma will be presenting the awards at the finals. It could possibly be Jiro Kobayashi.”

Charlie nodded thoughtfully.
