Chapter 1689


    As she was faced with her father and brother’s question, Sophie replied calmly, "First of all,


    although the Ito family has very strong resources and capabilities in Tokyo and even though they


    also have great strength in Osaka and Nagoya, the top port and harbour in Japan is actually the


    Yokohama Port which is next to Tokyo." s "Although the Takahashi family might be slightly inferior to


    the Ito family in Tokyo, they are still very strong and capable in Yokohama. It could be said that


    Yokohama is the base camp of the Takahashi family." 3


    "Secondly, the Ito family is actually facing some trouble now. The eldest youngdy of the Ito family


    was seriously injured during an internationalbat and fightingpetition in Aurous Hill some


    time ago. She is currently recuperating and resting to regain her health and physical condition. Ito


    Yahiko loves his daughter very much, so her physical condition would more or less prove to be a


    distraction to him. As long as a person is unable to concentrate fully on their work, it will have a


    great impact on their concentration. Even if it is only a one percent impact, i t would still prove to be


    a great impact." 7


    Sheldon frowned as he said, "Ito Yahiko''s daughter is injured? I have not heard about this matter at


    all."


    Sophie replied lightly, "A while ago, I hired someone to


    investigate and look into the overall situation and background of these two families including the


    background and situation of all the children and heirs in their families." 7


    Her elder brother, Jaime, could not help but give her a thumbs up. "Sophie, you are the best! You''ve


    really considered and thought about the problem in the mostprehensive manner!" 2


    Sophie was impervious to his ttery, and she simply said, "Brother, you don’t need to tter me.


    You are the one who needs to take charge and be responsible for handling many matters in the


    future. I am only temporarily helping you to lighten your load."


    Jaime smiled before he said, "I do not have to worry about anything in the future because I have


    such a good and capable sister!" 7


    Sophie red at him before she said, "I have also discovered something else. I found out that the


    Ito family is interested in investing in a Japanese pharmaceuticalpany called Kobayashi


    Pharma. I think that this will also cause him to be distracted to a certain extent." 6


    Jaime nodded before he said, "I know of thatpany too. I''ve tried their Kobayashi Stomach Pill


    before and i t is actually very good and effective. Kobayashi Pharma is pretty impressive."


    "That is already in the past." Sophie replied lightly," There is currently an Apothecary Stomach Pill


    that has been introduced in the Oskian domestic market, and this stomach medication had already


    surpassed the effectiveness and efficacy of the Kobayashi Stomach Pill."


    "Oh..." Jaime smiled and said, "I have a hunch that Apothecary Pharmaceutical will emerge quickly


    as a new force to be reckoned with. They would certainly catch up with Kobayashi Pharma soon."


    As he spoke about this, Jaime earnestly suggested, "If i t is possible, I think that it is a good


    opportunity for us to invest in Apothecary Pharmaceutical now. We might be able to gain back more


    than ten times the return on our investment in just a few years, then." 5

    Sheldon waved his hand and said, "No matter how big or sessful a pharmaceuticalpany is,


    it will be worth only one hundred billion dors at most. It is not a very profitable market. We should


    ce our focus on therger market with greater opportunities. The project to expand our horizons


    abroad this time is the key to the globalization of the Schulz family." 5


    Sophie was about to say something, but she did not say anything at all in the end. She simply


    nodded before she said, "Let''s get back to business, then. Dad, who do you think we should contact


    first? I still think that Ito Yahiko is gued with too many internal and external troubles which will


    cause him to be more distracted. I think that the Takahashi family would still be a more appropriate


    choice as a whole." 6


    Sheldon looked at Jaime before he asked, "Jaime, what is your opinion on this matter?"


    Jaime immediately opened his mouth and said, "I will listen to Sophie''s advice and persuasion. I


    think that w e should just act ording to Sophie’s advice, then. After all, those who did their


    homework should be given the say in this matter!" 5


    Sheldon nodded in satisfaction as he smiled and said, "The both of you brother and sister are the


    most outstanding amongst your peers. If you continue working together, both of you will certainly be


    famous nationwide or even around the world!"


    Jaime smiled as he said, "I do not dare to bepared to Sophie at all! She is a psycho! She is


    only twenty-two years old, but it seems as though she has the mentality and maturity of a forty-four-


    year-old! I really do not know what kind of partner she will have t o look for so that he will be able to


    subdue her and keep her under control in the future." s


    Sophie red at him before she said angrily, “Why are you worrying about me? Why don''t you


    worry about yourself first? You have already been in love with Quinn Golding for such a long time.


    So, when are you finally going to confess your love to her, then?" s


    Jaime felt very embarrassed, and he hurriedly blurted out, "Don’t talk nonsense! Quinn and I are


    merely acquaintances, and we could not even be considered friends!"


    "Of course!" Sophie snorted before she said contemptuously, "You cannot even speak properly


    when you see her. Of course you can’t even be her


    friend, then!"
