    Makawa grew extremely anxious at the thought. He immediately cried and pleaded.

    "Mr. Wade, with all due respect, I am considered a talented individual in the biopharmaceutical


    industry. If you fire me, it will be a great loss to you. I''m begging you; please let me stay on. I will


    work as hard as I can for you!"


    Charlie calmly replied, "So now you''re begging. I''m afraid it''s toote. You must settle the


    resignation procedures by today. Otherwise, thepany will end our contract with you by force." 6


    After that, Charlie looked at Isaac and snapped, "Get him out of here."


    Isaac nodded and immediately stepped forward. He held Makawa''s cor like grabbing a chicken''s


    neck and tugged him out. 3


    Themotion caused everyone in the meeting room to finally notice how serious the situation had


    be.


    Charlie had already received the shares transferred from Ichiro. He was the new boss for


    Kobayashi Pharma. As such, he was in control of everyone’s life and death. 2


    Whoever offended him would surely be kicked out!


    With that new-found knowledge in mind, everyone


    stood still like a quail in their respective ces. No one dared move or speak a word.


    Charlie Wade then spoke, "To be frank with you all, I only need to retain the production department


    for Kobayashi Pharma. The rest of the departments, such as R&D, marketing, and sales... can be


    removed!" 3


    Once these words came out of his mouth, everyone was stunned and held their breath.


    Charlie Wade then continued, "The fame of Apothecary Stomach Pill is spread by word of mouth,


    and it is more effective than by any means of advertisement. As such, there is no need to retain


    anyone from the marketing department. 3


    "The same goes for the sales department. Our Apothecary Stomach Pill has unlimited demand, and


    salesmen need to take the initiative to ask for more stocks. Therefore, there is no need to retain any


    sales department to market the products in many areas. 6


    "To sum it up, Kobayashi Pharma''s marketing and sales departments will be disbanded, including


    all its employees and leaders!" 4


    The statement threw the entirepany into an instant uproar.


    Including the few major departments mentioned, the others had all been practically axed except the


    production department. This would mean thousands were about to lose their jobs!


    Three-quarters of the top management in Kobayashi


    Pharma would be unemployed too!


    Moreover, the economic downturn period and middleage crisis were severe. Many retrenched


    middle-aged employeesmitted suicide. Apparently, these people were under tremendous


    stress. 3


    The top management''s age range in Kobayashi Pharma ranged from thirty-five to fifty-five, which


    was considered a middle-aged group. The sudden loss of jobs would cause a significant impact on


    them. 2


    The entire room went into havoc with loud groans and wails.


    A majority of the Japanese were like the Americans. They embraced hedonism in their spending


    habits, disliking thrift and spending off whatever they earned. They were especially keen on


    purchasing luxurious houses, cars, and vis, including yachts. 7


    As for their wives, not only did they not earn, but they spent extravagantly too, thereby significantly


    increasing family expenditure.


    ording to a survey, there was a massive demand for luxurious products from the Japanese


    ladies such as Channel, LV, or Gi branded bags. Ny percent of them would at least own one


    of these, not to mention other luxurious products. 1


    No doubt such families could live infort on a typical day. But on a rainy day, when the family’s


    ie source was deeply affected and staggered, they would instantly be ced on the brink of


    bankruptcy. 2


    Many middle-ss families had been downgraded to negative equity holders due to the economic


    crisis. Not only were they dered bankrupt, but they also became homeless. The main reason


    behind this was because they spent extravagantly without savings, thus resulting in low resistance


    to risk. 6


    Many of the top management in Kobayashi Pharma embraced the same culture. 3


    Therefore, the moment Charlie announced that they were to be jobless, it would mean that


    they would face a financial crisis and possible bankruptcy. 4


    Charlie Wade showed no mercy to these wailing middle-aged men.


    Kobayashi Pharma would be his own corporation, and he was not willing to feed thesezy and


    worthless Japanese employees. As such, these people had to be fired as soon as possible!
