Chapter 582: Obstacles for Wei Pharmaceutical

Seeing that Wei Liang was a bit nervous, Ye Chen smiled indifferently and changed the subject, "By the way, how is your Wei Pharmaceutical doing recently?"

Wei Liang's expression became serious as he reported, "Master Ye, the overall development of the pharmaceutical factory has been stable recently, but we have encountered some obstacles in opening up new markets."

"What obstacles?"

Ye Chen asked strangely. According to the strength of Wei Pharmaceutical, in the domestic pharmaceutical industry, it should be said that there were few opponents.

However, for new drug development, as long as a good prescription was found, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

But if the prescription wasn't good, no matter how big the pharmaceutical factory was, it would be meaningless.

Wei Liang hurriedly replied, "Recently, Wei Pharmaceutical invested heavily to develop a new Chinese patent medicine. Its main efficacy is to dispel evil and resolve dampness, cool the blood and clear the heart. It is a stomach powder that has good curative effects on stomach pain, stomach acid, retching, and other stomach symptoms."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Stomach disease is also a disease that modern people easily get. As far as I know, there shouldn't be many people doing stomach medicine in China. Except for Sanjiu Weitai, which is somewhat famous, I haven't heard of any other famous stomach Chinese patent medicines. In this case, you shouldn't have too many obstacles, right?"

Wei Liang frowned and explained, "I developed this medicine because I saw that people in the city have too many social engagements now, and many young office workers get stomach diseases at a young age. The potential customer group is very large, so I led the team to tackle the key problems and found a suitable prescription from countless ancient prescriptions. But I didn't expect to be beaten to the punch by a foreign company, and they even optimized it on the basis of our original ancient prescription."

Ye Chen frowned, "Foreign company? Plagiarizing our Chinese medicine ancient prescriptions? Don't those companies mainly focus on Western medicine?"

Wei Liang shook his head and said, "It's not Western medicine. Kobayashi Pharmaceutical got an ancient prescription from our country and then developed a stomach powder based on the ancient prescription. The efficacy of this stomach powder is indeed stronger than our stomach medicine, so now the stomach powder market has been occupied by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, which is very unfavorable for us."

He paused, then said somewhat dejectedly, "Not to mention anything else, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's level of developing our Chinese medicine ancient prescriptions is indeed very superb. Since the era of Masao Kobayashi, they have been profiting from Kampo medicine all over the world. After so many years, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's foundation is too deep."

"Kobayashi Pharmaceutical?" Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned and asked, "Kobayashi Pharmaceutical was seriously injured before. Can it still be so competitive now?"

Wei Liang nodded, sighed, and said, "Kobayashi Pharmaceutical is, after all, a top pharmaceutical company in Asia. As long as it doesn't hurt its muscles and bones, it still has strong competitiveness. And they have the best hardware laboratories and R&D teams in Asia, so they can optimize a stomach powder on the basis of ancient prescriptions."

Ye Chen smiled slightly. He didn't expect Jiro Kobayashi to really have some skills. The entire Kobayashi Pharmaceutical was cheated out of more than 10 billion by him, and it was able to turn around so quickly.

At this time, Wei Liang also sighed, "The essence left by our ancestors was not well utilized by us, and in the end, it was plagiarized by foreigners. It's really a pity."

Ye Chen asked, "How big is the impact of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical on you now?"

Wei Liang said, "Just for stomach medicine, the impact is very large. In the long run, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical is now actively developing new drugs. I estimate that it will gradually erode our development space in the future. Now Wei Pharmaceutical's revenue has been greatly affected. The money previously invested in stomach medicine has almost gone down the drain, and then we have to continue to develop new drugs. If it succeeds, it's easy to say, but if it fails, it will fall into a quagmire again."

As he spoke, Wei Liang added, "During this period, the World University Sanda Fighting Competition is about to start, and it will be held in our Jin Ling. This competition is sponsored by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, and the propaganda is very grand."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Will Jiro Kobayashi come?"

Wei Liang said, "I'm not very clear about this yet, but it is said that the award-presenting guest for this final is a senior executive of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical. It's not clear who it is, but it's possible it's Jiro Kobayashi."

Ye Chen nodded lightly.

In fact, the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra" recorded countless magical ancient medical prescriptions. Just for stomach medicine, there were dozens of them. Taking out any one of them could help Wei Liang completely crush Kobayashi Pharmaceutical.

However, pharmaceutical manufacturing was a very profitable industry, so he definitely couldn't help Wei Liang for nothing.

So, he said to Wei Liang, "Wei Liang, I do have a few good prescriptions in my hand. If produced, they will definitely be best-selling miracle drugs. If I invest with the prescriptions, how many shares are you willing to give me?"

Wei Liang said almost without hesitation, "Master Ye, Wei Liang can have today all because of your achievement. The entire Wei Pharmaceutical is yours, Master Ye. As long as you say a word, Wei Liang will immediately hand it over!"

Wei Liang also thought very clearly.

Without Ye Chen, he couldn't have inherited Wei Pharmaceutical.

Without Ye Chen, even if the Wei father and son came back, he wouldn't be able to keep Wei Pharmaceutical.

So, he was willing to completely rely on Ye Chen, even if he handed over Wei Pharmaceutical, he must not give the Wei father and son a chance to turn around.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "How about this: if the prescription I give you is more effective than Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's stomach powder, then you give me 80% of Wei Pharmaceutical's shares. In the future, I will have a steady stream of good prescriptions for you, ensuring that Wei Pharmaceutical will grow into a company of the 100-billion level in the future. By that time, your personal assets will exceed 20 billion."

Wei Pharmaceutical's current assets are around 2 to 3 billion, but they have certain debts, plus recent poor management, and the overall situation has declined.

If Ye Chen could really make Wei Pharmaceutical grow into a 100-billion-level group in the future, even if Wei Liang only had 10%, he could achieve a multiplication of assets.

So for him, he had no reason to refuse.

And he had long heard that Master Ye refined miraculous pills, so if the prescription he took out was definitely a big seller!

So, Wei Liang agreed without hesitation and said excitedly, "Thank you, Master Ye! Wei Liang has no second words!"

Ye Chen didn't want to take advantage of Wei Liang, but top prescriptions were truly worth a fortune!

For example, the male miracle drug Viagra, its parent company earned hundreds of billions of dollars in profits just from this one drug.

So, if he gave it to him for nothing, that would be mentally retarded.

Win-win cooperation was the best solution.

So, Ye Chen said to Wei Liang, "Since that's the case, you go back first. Tomorrow I will ask a lawyer to sign a contract with you, and then I will give you the prescription."

Master Hong Wu on the side hurriedly asked, "Master Ye, what about the Wu family?"

Ye Chen smiled indifferently, "I have my own decision, you don't need to worry!" ===== CHAPTER 583 =====
