He called Yang Shoucheng again, asking, "Who is imitating our medicine?"
Yang Shoucheng replied, "You've met him, my enemy Wang Lianbao."
Ye Tian said, "The other party must have obtained the formula but not mastered the process, so their product has major issues. Although it has 50% of our product's effect in the short term, within a week, it will accumulate toxins in patients' bodies, causing drug poisoning and kidney damage."
Yang Shoucheng was startled, "This Wang Lianbao, to strike at me, truly stops at nothing!"
Ye Tian stated, "The most important thing now is to prevent his fake medicine from being launched, otherwise, it will harm a batch of patients."
Yang Shoucheng exclaimed, "Good! I'll report him to the police immediately, and publish a notice stating that his medicine is toxic, and have the health authorities investigate him!"
Ye Tian suggested, "Doing so will be too slow. How about this, on all our product packaging, we will include a warning, reminding patients not to use the other party's medicine, as it will lead to severe consequences."
Yang Shoucheng agreed, "Good, I'll arrange it immediately!"
After hanging up, Ye Tian was still a bit uneasy. Once Wang Lianbao's medicine flowed into the market, it would endanger many people. As a medical practitioner, he could not allow such a thing to happen.
After a moment of consideration, he picked up the phone again and called Old Yang, asking him to intervene in the matter.
Upon hearing the whole story, Old Yang was furious and immediately dispatched people to handle it.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious mansion in the provincial capital, Wang Lianbao was triumphant. He had invited several pharmaceutical experts to his home for a grand banquet. His several capable subordinates were also present.
Wang Lianbao raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "The successful launch of our medicine this time is all thanks to everyone's efforts. I toast you!"
Everyone raised their glasses, and his subordinates showered him with praise. One said, "Boss, according to patient tests, our medicine has similar effects to theirs. Once the medicine is mass-produced and launched, we will have a company worth trillions. At that time, Boss, you will be a magnate with trillions in assets!"
Another chimed in, "What are you saying! Boss is already a magnate, just in his prime."
Wang Lianbao laughed heartily, "Well said! Once the company is listed, everyone present will receive a dividend of one hundred million!"
Those present were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
Just then, Wang Lianbao's phone rang. The call was from a familiar yet unfamiliar number. Familiar, because it was Yang Shoucheng's number; unfamiliar, because he hadn't called him in many years.
He gestured for everyone to be quiet, then answered the phone, a smug smile on his face, "Old Yang, is there something you need?"
Yang Shoucheng said, "Wang Lianbao, your imitated medicine has problems. Take it off the market immediately, and you won't die too miserably."
Wang Lianbao sneered, "Take my medicine off the market? Are you jealous and envious of me for developing a new drug? I'm telling you, Yang Shoucheng, not only will my medicine not be taken off the market, but it will be launched quickly to seize the market. I've already invested thirty billion to build a pharmaceutical factory, and my product will occupy the market earlier than yours, and the company will be listed sooner than yours!"
He added coldly, "Furthermore. Your medicine stole our formula. I applied for a patent long ago! I will find the best lawyers to sue you and make you compensate me for my losses."
Yang Shoucheng's face turned pale with anger, "Wang Lianbao, have you no shame? Don't you know where your medicine came from?"
Wang Lianbao sneered, "Yang Shoucheng, stop with the useless talk. If you're smart, you'll obediently sell your factory to me, and we'll jointly establish a pharmaceutical company. I can give you thirty percent of the shares, so we can all make a living."
Yang Shoucheng sighed inwardly. He knew this effort would be in vain, but he had underestimated Wang Lianbao's shamelessness. "Wang Lianbao, although you're not a good person, I don't want your medicine to kill people. But since you're obstinate, I can't be bothered anymore." With that, he hung up the phone.
Wang Lianbao shook his head, "See? Yang Shoucheng is anxious. His anxiety means our medicine is very effective. I will increase investment tomorrow, buy more land, and build a larger factory. Hmph, we will engage in a price war and an advertising war to quickly seize the market!"
