Chapter 246 - Luos Group (2/2)

He was Luo Jin, the owner of Luo's Pharmaceutical Industry in Jiangnan City. The young man was his son, Luo Chengming.

They were also well-known figures in the Jiangnan pharmaceutical industry. Three years ago, they had led Luo's Pharmaceutical Industry to successfully list in M Country, becoming the only listed pharmaceutical company in Jiangnan City. Their company was the leader of the industry.

Luo Chengming said, ”We used to look down on traditional Chinese medicine, but I didn't expect that it would give us such a big surprise. It can really cure leukemia by relying on some grass-root bark and rotten vegetable leaves.”

”It doesn't matter if a cat is white or black. As long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. Who cares if traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine discovered the cure? As long as it can cure the disease and make us money, this Chinese medicine formula is a golden hen that can lay eggs.”

Luo Jin stood up from the sofa and said with shining eyes, ”The formula of the Blood Revival Oral Liquid is in the hands of that little Chinese medicine doctor. As long as we can get it, Luo's Pharmaceutical Industry will soar into the sky instantly in our hands.”

Luo Chengming said gloomily, ”Father, should I take someone to tie him up now? If he is in our company, I believe he will give us the formula.”

”You should reconsider. Don't think about fighting and killing all day long,” Luo Jin said, ”Although Luo's Group started out as a mafia gang, we are now all serious businessmen. Our company is run legally.

It was not easy for us to create a legitimate business. Now that we've finally become legitimate businessmen after all this trouble, we can't go back. I don't know how many eyes are staring at that little Chinese medicine practitioner. If you tie him up today, you'll be caught by the Public Security Bureau tomorrow.”

Luo Chengming said, ”What shall we do then?”

Luo Jin said, ”Let's follow the legal channel first. Tomorrow, you can go talk to that little Chinese medicine practitioner. You can either invest in him or buy the patent rights of the formula. Extraordinary means will only be considered as a last resort.”

”If we negotiate with him, what is our end game?”

Luo Jin said, ”If a joint venture is made, we can allow him to invest in technology. The equity can be negotiated. We could even give him more than 50 percent.”

Luo Chengming answered eagerly. ”Father, how can we do this? In any case, we need the absolute rights. Otherwise, the company will not be under our control in the future.”

”You aren't thinking right.” Luo Jin waved his hand and said in a sophisticated manner, ”As long as he cooperates with us, no matter how many shares he controls, the enterprise will be in our hands. He is a Chinese medicine practitioner who knows nothing about business. Can he manage the enterprise by himself?

Our priority right now is to get his formula. As long as we have the formula, he may have a sudden accident someday.”

When he said that, Luo Jin sneered. He used to be an underground warlord in Jiangnan City. He had done that years before Long Haisheng had entered the underground world. Although he had begun his own business later, it was still difficult for him to get rid of the Mafia mentality.

”I understand, father. You really think ahead!” Luo Chengming nodded repeatedly. Then, he said, ”If he does not cooperate with us and asks for a one-time sale of the formula, what's our floor price?”

”Two billion! If he's willing to sell the formula, we can give him two billion yuan.”

”Two billion yuan? Isn't that too much? How many female stars can he sleep with, how many luxury cars can he buy with that kind of money?” Luo Chengming said with a pained expression.

”You are still too short-sighted. You should think ahead about everything. As long as we get the formula of this medicine and advertise, just the rising prices of our group stock in the stock market will exceed that amount.”

”I know, father,” Luo Chengming said.

”Very well. Tomorrow you will go find Qin Haodong to negotiate. No matter how you cooperate, no matter how you use our power, you must get the formula.”

After discussing the details, Luo Chengming left the room.

Luo Jin poured himself a glass of red wine and took a gentle sip. His face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. It seemed that he had seen the hope of success.

He did not know that Luo Chengming had no intention of spending two billion yuan on the formula. In Luo Chengming's opinion, since he could get the formula by using other means, why should he spend money on it? He could not spare such a large sum of money anyway.

In the Wilson Company Jiangnan Branch, a middle-aged fat man in a white coat stood in front of Huang Weili. He was Dr. Jiang Tao, the chief researcher of the company's laboratory.

Huang Weili asked expectantly, ”Dr. Jiang, I heard that the result of the test of that liquid has come out. So? Can you get the formula?”

Jiang Tao waved his hand as he spoke. ”I don't know what the use of the thing you gave me is, let alone what kind of formula you're talking about. After a series of tests, I found nothing useful in it except plant fibers.”

At first, Huang Weili had not told Jiang Tao what he was testing to keep it a secret. However, he couldn't keep it a secret anymore. Thus, he said, ”Dr. Jiang, it's a medicine that can cure leukemia. It's called Blood Revival Oral Liquid. If we find its formula, the head office will reward us.”

”This green medicine, all of which is composed of plant fibers, can treat leukemia? Are you kidding?” Jiang Tao said scornfully, ”Leukemia is an incurable disease. There is no possibility of finding a cure. Even if we could overcome this problem in the future, it would not be solved in Huaxia first.

Manager Huang, I'm busy. I hope you don't disturb my work with such boring things again.”

Huang Weili said hurriedly, ”Dr. Jiang, what I said is true. This medicine is effective. It has cured many leukemia patients.”

Jiang Tao sneered completely at his remarks. ”Manager Huang, I'm really busy. I can't waste any time on you.”

As soon as he said that, Jiang Tao turned back to the laboratory, leaving Huang Weili to stamp his feet in anger.
