Chapter 746

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh: "This Kobayashi family's character is extremely untrustworthy. Not only do they have a precedent of stealing my divine medicine, but they also have a case of Kobayashi Jiro paying to buy his own brother's life. Cooperating with such a family will definitely be calculated by them."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen paused slightly and said: "Also, the Kobayashi family is a Japanese family after all. If we cooperate with them, we will inevitably share our prescription with them. Once they steal our prescription, they might do some things like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge or even killing the donkey. So we must not cooperate with them."

Hearing this, Wei Liang immediately said: "Master Ye, I didn't consider this matter well. Please rest assured, I will go and reject this Kobayashi Jiro now!"

Ye Chen laughed: "Based on my understanding of the Kobayashi family, they won't give up this matter so easily. They might have other tricks. You should be careful these two days. I will tell Chen Zekai and Hong Wu to help you pay more attention."

Wei Liang hurriedly said: "Okay, Master Ye, I understand!"

Speaking of this, Wei Liang asked again: "By the way, Master Ye, our Nine Mysteries Stomach Powder has a very good market response. Do you think we should expand the production line as soon as possible? If you have any intention, I will apply for industrial land with the relevant departments."

Ye Chen laughed: "Building a production line yourself is too slow, right? Aren't there several ready-made large production lines right in front of you?"

Wei Liang asked in surprise: "Master Ye, are you talking about Kobayashi Pharmaceutical?"

"Yes." Ye Chen said with a smile: "Kobayashi Jiro's brother, Kobayashi Ichiro, is still in my hands. This time, I will simply keep Kobayashi Jiro and let Kobayashi Ichiro go back to inherit the Kobayashi Group. However, if Kobayashi Ichiro wants to go back, he must transfer 80% of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's shares to my name. Otherwise, he can continue to live under an assumed name at Hong Wu's dog farm and shovel dog poop!"

Wei Liang suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Master Ye, so that's your plan! This... this is truly a stroke of genius! No wonder you kept that Kobayashi Ichiro, it turns out there is this great use!"

Ye Chen laughed: "Let Kobayashi Ichiro go back, and I will keep Kobayashi Jiro as a hostage. If this Kobayashi Ichiro cooperates well and listens to me, then I will let him go back to Japan to enjoy life. If he is not obedient enough, then I will send Kobayashi Jiro back and put him back in the dog farm. In short, whoever listens to me the most can go back to Japan to enjoy life, and the one who doesn't listen enough will stay in Jin Ling to raise dogs honestly!"

"Master Ye, I understand! I will go and reject Kobayashi Jiro now!"

Respectfully hanging up Ye Chen's phone, Wei Liang returned to the reception room.

Kobayashi Jiro saw him come back, stood up full of expectation, and asked with a smile: "Manager Wei, what did your boss say? My proposal must be very interesting to him, right?"

Wei Liang shook his head: "Sorry, Mr. Kobayashi, our boss is not interested in your cooperation, so I'm sorry, our Nine Mysteries Pharmaceutical cannot cooperate with your company."

Kobayashi Jiro frowned and asked: "Manager Wei, is your boss dissatisfied with the sharing ratio? How about this, we cooperate, you take 70% of the net profit and we take 30%. Giving you the big share, this should show my sincerity, right?"

Wei Liang smiled indifferently: "Sorry, our boss said, no cooperation is no cooperation, and it has nothing to do with the sharing ratio. Mr. Kobayashi, please go back."

"You..."

Kobayashi Jiro stood up angrily and said coldly: "Manager Wei, don't think that you can run rampant just because you have a good medicine. Tell you, if you really force Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical can also play a price war with you. Believe it or not, starting tomorrow, Kobayashi Stomach Powder will be sold at a 50% discount? Even if your medicine is effective, so what? Once a price war starts, your profit margin will slide infinitely!"

Wei Liang said: "Mr. Kobayashi, if you want to fight a price war, we naturally won't be afraid. But then again, since our boss doesn't want to cooperate with you, we don't need to waste our breath here. If you have any dissatisfaction or any schemes and ideas, you can go back and display them to your heart's content. I won't accompany you."

After speaking, he said to the secretary: "See the guest out!"

Kobayashi Jiro was very annoyed.

He actually didn't want to fight a price war with Nine Mysteries Stomach Powder.

After all, fighting a price war is the most helpless way.

If the efficacy of the two products is similar, fighting a price war at this time is equivalent to killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.

But if the efficacy of the two products is very different, fighting a price war at this time is equivalent to killing a hundred enemies and losing a thousand.

After all, although the efficacy of Kobayashi Stomach Powder is much worse, the cost is not lower than Nine Mysteries Stomach Powder at all!

Even, because Japan's labor costs are relatively high, and the export freight and tariff costs are not low, the cost of Kobayashi Stomach Powder is much higher than Nine Mysteries Stomach Powder, which is much stronger in efficacy.

If everyone lowers the price to 100 yuan a box, then Kobayashi Stomach Powder might have to lose money, but Nine Mysteries Stomach Powder might still have a profit of ten or twenty yuan a box.

So, Kobayashi Jiro was just being brave with his mouth about not fighting a price war. If he really had to fight, he wouldn't have the confidence.

After thinking about it, he felt that his real solution was to start from stealing the prescription.

As soon as he got into his car, Kobayashi Jiro couldn't wait to ask his assistant: "Have the experts found in Japan arrived in Jin Ling yet?"

The assistant hurriedly reported to him: "Chairman, I have mobilized a total of 16 experts this time, 9 of whom have arrived, and the remaining 7 will arrive one after another before tonight."

"Okay, very good!" Kobayashi Jiro nodded and said: "Let them set up an ambush on this road tonight, kidnap that Wei Liang for me, and then torture him severely. He must be forced to hand over all the prescriptions and formulas!"

For any Chinese patent medicine, the prescription is important, and the formula is also important.

The prescription contains all the types of medicinal materials needed for this medicine, as well as the corresponding amount of each medicinal material.

If it is the same 10 medicinal materials, the different proportions of each medicinal material will produce different effects.

It is possible that if a certain medicinal material is more or less, this good medicine that can save people will become a poison that can harm people.

So Kobayashi Jiro also knows that even if he can figure out what ingredients are in it, it is very difficult to formulate the correct proportion.

If you rely on guessing and experiments, it might take a few years to figure it out.

If there are many ingredients in this medicine, it might not be figured out for 10 or 20 years.

As for the formula, it is the related pharmaceutical process.

Now Chinese patent medicines are basically processed and extracted in a modern way. Some medicinal materials need to be fermented, and some medicinal materials need to react with each other, and some medicinal materials need to be added before or after other medicinal materials to have an effect, such as the concept of "medicine guide" in traditional Chinese medicine.

This is like a cumbersome chemical reaction formula. Besides the core raw materials, there are things like catalysts. When to add catalysts? How much to add? These are crucial. If there is a slight mistake, it is a difference of a thousand miles.

So the safest and fastest means is to get the whole prescription and formula directly!
