That day, all of Yuanfeng Pharmaceutical's hemostatic and analgesic drugs were removed from the market. Although these two drugs sold very well, the joint boycott by so many pharmaceutical companies forced many pharmacies to comply. However, as these two drugs were being removed, two new products were launched, also hemostatic and analgesic drugs, with similar packaging, only the production address and company name differed.
Most people assumed they were the original two products, so sales remained strong.
Zhang Aimin and Li Se were having a meal. They were already aware of their products being removed from the market, so they weren't too concerned, as the plan was to sell these two drugs in specialty stores next.
However, just then, Zhang Aimin's phone rang. It was from the company. After she answered, her expression turned unsightly, and then into anger.
"What happened?" Li Se asked.
Zhang Aimin said angrily, "When our two drugs were removed from the market, Qishan Pharmaceutical replaced them with two identical drugs, with almost the same packaging!"
Li Se was also a little annoyed upon hearing this. "What a cunning move. They replaced our products with counterfeits just as ours were being pulled. These drugs are still in high demand, and once their versions are on the shelves, they're bound to sell well for a while. These merchants really are driven by profit."
"Originally, after our drugs were removed from the market, we planned to set up specialty stores to continue sales. But now, with Qishan Pharmaceutical doing this, if these counterfeit drugs are found to have mediocre effects, it will greatly impact our sales!" Zhang Aimin gritted her teeth.
"This won't do, I need to go back to the company."
Zhang Aimin couldn't even finish her meal and got up to leave.
"I'll go with you," Li Se said, following her.
However, as they just left the private room, they ran into several people.
"Well, well, isn't this Ms. Zhang from Yuanfeng Group?" The speaker was none other than Cai Wenming. The moment he saw Li Se, he was filled with rage, wishing he could tear Li Se apart.
Seeing Cai Wenming, Zhang Aimin's face darkened.
"Wenming, is this Ms. Zhang from Yuanfeng Group?" General Manager Jiang Qishan's eyes almost popped out when he saw Zhang Aimin. She was truly beautiful, and the mature allure she possessed was fatal to men of any age.
"General Manager Jiang, it's her," Cai Wenming nodded.
"Hello, I am Jiang Qishan from Qishan Pharmaceutical," Jiang Qishan extended his hand.
"Is there something?" Zhang Aimin asked coldly.
Jiang Qishan smiled. "Ms. Zhang, you are truly distant. I presume you know about your company's products being removed from the market? I advised you three days ago to sign the contract honestly and to make money harmoniously. You insisted on going it alone, so you can't blame us for being ruthless."
He paused, then added, "Oh, right. Your pharmaceutical company is probably struggling to stay afloat, isn't it? How about this, we'll acquire it, including the formula, for five million. What do you say?"
"No need for your concern, General Manager Jiang," Zhang Aimin replied.
"Ms. Zhang, here is my business card. If you think it over, you can come find me. I don't have many other merits, but I enjoy helping people, especially beauties like you," Jiang Qishan chuckled.
Zhang Aimin furrowed her delicate brows, not taking the card. Instead, she said, "General Manager Jiang, you have quite the methods. As soon as our products were removed, your counterfeit versions were on the shelves, with almost identical packaging. Heh, aren't you afraid we'll sue you?"
Jiang Qishan looked completely unfazed. "Go ahead and sue us. Sue us if you have the ability. I don't care. I could just as easily say you copied our products."
"Fine, then let's wait for the lawsuit!" Zhang Aimin snorted. This was the only recourse she could think of: suing Qishan Pharmaceutical.
However, she also knew that her chances of winning were slim.
"Sure, we'll be waiting," Jiang Qishan was confident and didn't take it seriously at all.
"Are you sure you want to continue selling these two counterfeit drugs?" Li Se suddenly asked.
"Insolence!" Jiang Qishan shouted. "These two drugs were developed by Qishan Pharmaceutical through our painstaking efforts and at great cost. How dare you call them counterfeit here? Believe it or not, I'll sue you!"
"Are you sure you won't take them down?" Li Se asked again.
Jiang Qishan was somewhat baffled by Li Se's persistence and said coldly, "These are legitimate drugs, why should we take them down?"
"Alright, I'll give you credit for your guts!" Li Se gave a thumbs-up.
"Heh, young man, there are many ways to do business. It's not enough that your products are good for you to sweep the market. You still have to ask if we agree, you understand? Making money together is the way to go, understand?" Jiang Qishan said with a smile.
"Young people are just young people, a bit naive. Offending us and still wanting to operate in the pharmaceutical field, I don't know what you're thinking."
"It's better to hurry and sell your pharmaceutical company to General Manager Jiang for five million now. This way, you can cut your losses in time. In a while, this price won't be available anymore."
"..."
The other general managers of pharmaceutical companies chimed in with agreement.
Li Se ignored them and directly called Qiu Jiachang.
"Little Brother Li, is there something?" Qiu Jiachang's voice quickly responded.
Li Se explained the situation with the drugs on the market to Qiu Jiachang. These two drugs were developed in cooperation with the military, and now they were being counterfeited. He thought the military wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
"There's such a thing?" Qiu Jiachang's expression turned grim upon hearing this. "I'll handle it immediately!"
After hanging up, Li Se glanced at Jiang Qishan and smiled, "If you regret it later, come to Yuanfeng Group. I might consider acquiring your company!"
"What nonsense!" Jiang Qishan said with disdain. "You're the ones who should regret it. A lousy pharmaceutical company, and you think you're so important? In my eyes, Jiang Qishan, you two are nothing!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"You have quite the nerve!" the other general managers said dismissively.
Li Se didn't say anything further and left with Zhang Aimin.
They arrived at the private room, and everyone's faces were beaming. This time, by counterfeiting these two drugs, they had made a profit, and sales were very considerable.
However, just then, Jiang Qishan's phone rang. After he answered, his face changed drastically: "What? Military personnel are here?"
"General Manager Jiang, those two drugs you had us counterfeit earlier were developed in cooperation with the military. By counterfeiting them, the other party says we've committed a host of crimes. Many executives have already been arrested by the military. You should flee..." The voice on the other end trembled.
*Clatter!*
The phone slipped from his hand.
Jiang Qishan's arrogant smile vanished, replaced by a pale face. He recalled Li Se's words and finally understood what was going on. These two drugs were actually developed in cooperation with the military!
"What happened?" one of the general managers beside him asked.
Jiang Qishan's voice trembled slightly. "Yuanfeng Pharmaceutical's hemostatic and analgesic drugs are both in cooperation with the military. We counterfeited these two drugs, and now we've landed ourselves in big trouble..."
