Chapter 1143


    Charlie saw Liam was a bit nervous. With the intention of diverting the topic, he smiled lightly and


    asked, "How''s your pharmaceutical manufacturing business doing so far?


    Liam looked straight at Charlie and reported, "Master Wade, the recent developments of the


    pharmaceutical factories are considered stable. But we''ve encountered some obstacles in the


    expansion of new markets.”


    "What were the obstacles?"


    Charlie felt weird. With the Weaver family''s pharmaceutical manufacturing strength, there should be


    very fewpetitors in the domestic pharmaceutical industry.


    But with new developments in drugs, as long as one could find a good prescription, there should be


    no major problems.


    However, if the prescription was ineffective, it would b e meaningless no matter how influential the


    pharmaceutical factory was.


    Liam immediately answered, "The Weaver family''s pharmaceuticalpany has recently invested


    heavily in the development of a new proprietary Chinese medicine. The main function is to exorcise


    evil and reduce dampness, stomach powder to cool the blood and relieve the heart, as well as to


    treat


    stomach symptoms such as stomach pain, stomach acid, and retching."


    Charlie nodded and said, "Stomach disease is amon illness nowadays. As far as I''m


    concerned, there are very few local pharmaceutical factories which can produce medication for the


    stomach. Apart from Pepto-Bismol, which has some fame, I have not heard of other reputable


    manufacturers with medicine for treating stomach diseases. Judging from this situation, I believe


    there isn''t much hindrance for you, right?"


    Liam frowned and exined, "The reason I developed this medicine was because I''ve seen many


    people who work in the city socializing too much. Many young working adults are diagnosed with


    stomach disease at a young age. Sensing a huge potential for a broad customer base, I led a team


    to solve this problem and found a suitable prescription from countless ancient prescriptions. But I


    had never thought that the foreignpanies would be a step ahead of us and had employed our


    ancient prescriptions as a foundation to optimize theirs."


    Charlie glowered, "Foreignpanies? giarizing our ancient Chinese medicine? Aren’t those


    companies specializing in Western medicine?"


    Liam shook his head and said, "It isn''t Western medicine. But Kobayashi Pharma obtained an


    ancient prescription from within our country. Then, they developed a type of stomach powder based


    on ancient methods. The effectiveness of this powder is much greaterpared to ours, and that''s


    why the market is now dominated by Kobayashi Pharma. This i s very unfavourable to us."


    He paused for a moment, then continued with some frustration and said, "Let''s not talk about the


    rest, the standard of Kobayashi Pharma pioneering our Chinese ancient prescription is indeed very


    high.


    Since Masao Kobayashi’s era, they have been profiting from Chinese ancient prescriptions from


    around the world. They have a very solid foundation.”


    "Kobayashi Pharma?” Charlie couldn''t help frowning when he heard this.


    Then he asked, "Kobayashi Pharma was once sapped o f its vitality. Is it still aspetitive as


    before?"


    Liam nodded, then sighed and said "Kobayashi Pharma is a top pharmaceuticalpany after all.


    As long as there isn’t much damage, thispany still has very strongpetitiveness. Moreover,


    they have Asia''s best hardwareboratory and research team, which has enabled them to create an


    improved version of the stomach powder based upon their foundation in ancient medicine."


    Charlie smiled slightly. He had never expected that Jiro Kobayashi was more capable than he


    thought. Despite being pitted with one hundred billion by Charlie, he could recover his fortune in a


    short amount of time.


    At that moment, Liam sighed, "We did not make good use of the essence left behind by our


    ancestors. In the end, the foreigners have giarized the prescriptions. It''s really regrettable."

    Charlie asked, "What impact has Kobayashi Pharma brought to yourpany?"


    Liam said, "The impact of this stomach medicine alone is huge. In the long term, I predict that our


    opportunity to grow will slowly diminish because Kobayashi Pharma is now aggressively developing


    new medicine. Currently, the business of Weaver Pharmaceuticals is badly affected. The money


    invested in stomach medicine is almost depleted. Moving forward, there''s still a need to continue to


    research new medicines. If there is sess, it is still worth it. If it fails, however, thepany will be


    in deep water.”


    Liam then added, "During this time, the International University Combat and Fighting Championship


    will begin. It would be held in our very own Aurous and it''s sponsored by Kobayashi Pharma. The


    promotion is sensational."


    Charlie asked curiously, "Will Jiro Kobayashi attend the event?"


    Liam answered, "I''m not very sure about this. But it is said that the award-giving guest for the finals


    is from Kobayashi Pharma''s top management. It is still unclear who it is. It could be Jiro Kobayashi."


    Charlie nodded gently.
