Chapter 3
Seeing that Wei Liang was a little nervous, Ye Chen smiled calmly, changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how are you doing at Wei's Pharmaceuticals lately?"
Wei Liang looked serious and reported: "Master Ye, the overall development of the pharmaceutical factory has been relatively stable recently, but it has encountered some obstacles in the development of new markets."
"What's the obstacle?"
Ye Chen wondered, based on the strength of Wei's Pharmaceuticals, it should be said that there are few rivals in the domestic pharmaceutical industry.
However, the development of new drugs should not be a big problem as long as a good prescription is found.
But if the prescription is not good, it will be meaningless no matter how powerful the pharmaceutical company is.
Wei Liang quickly replied: "Recently, Wei's Pharmaceutical has invested heavily in developing a new Chinese patent medicine. Its main function is to expel evil spirits and reduce dampness. It can cool the heart and relieve gastric symptoms such as stomach pain, gastric acidity, and retching."
, all have better curative effects.”
Ye Chen nodded and said: "Stomach diseases are also very easy for modern people to get. As far as I know, there shouldn't be many people who make stomach medicine in China. Except for Sanjiu Weitai, which is somewhat famous, I haven't heard of it.
Are there any other well-known Chinese patent medicines for treating the stomach? In this case, you shouldn’t have much trouble, right?”
Wei Liang frowned and explained: "I developed this medicine because I saw that people in cities now have too many social activities. Many young people who work get stomach problems at a young age. The potential customer base is huge, so I led a team to tackle the problem.
I found a suitable recipe from countless ancient recipes, but I didn’t expect that a foreign company would beat me to it, and they also optimized it based on our original ancient recipe.”
Ye Chen frowned: "Foreign companies? Plagiarizing our ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions? Don't those companies mainly focus on Western medicine?"
Wei Liang shook his head and said: "It's not Western medicine. Xiaolin 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
It has been occupied by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, which is very unfavorable to us."
He paused, and then said with some frustration: "If nothing else, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's level of developing our traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions is indeed very high. Since the time of Kobayashi Masao, they have been making profits from Kampo medicine all over the world. Over the years,
, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical’s foundation is too deep.”
"Kobayashi Pharmaceutical?" When Ye Chen heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Kobayashi Pharmaceutical was severely damaged before, but can it still be so competitive now?"
Wei Liangming nodded, sighed and said: "Xiaolin Pharmaceutical is Asia's top pharmaceutical company after all. As long as it doesn't strain its muscles and bones, it will still be very competitive. Moreover, they have the best hardware laboratory and R&D team in Asia.
That’s why we can optimize a stomach powder based on ancient prescriptions.”
Ye Chen smiled slightly, he didn't expect that Kobayashi Jiro really had two tricks. The entire Kobayashi Pharmaceutical was cheated by him for more than 10 billion, and it was able to turn over so quickly.
At this time, Wei Liang also sighed: "We failed to make good use of the essence left by our ancestors, and in the end it was stolen by foreigners. It is really a pity."
Ye Chen asked: "How much impact does Kobayashi Pharmaceutical have on you now?"
Wei Liang said: "The impact on gastric medicine alone is very large. In the long run, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical is now actively developing new drugs. I estimate that our development space will be gradually eroded in the future. The current business of Weishi Pharmaceutical
Revenue has been greatly affected, and the money previously invested in gastric medicine has almost been wasted. Then we have to continue to develop new medicines. If it succeeds, it will be okay, but if it fails, it will fall into further quagmire."
After saying that, Wei Liang added: "During this period, the World University Student Sanda Fighting Competition is about to begin, and it will be held in our Jinling. This competition is sponsored by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, and the publicity campaign is very large."
Ye Chen asked curiously: "Will Jiro Kobayashi come?"
Wei Liang said: "I don't know much about this yet, but it is said that the award guest for this final is a senior executive of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical. It is not clear who it is, but it may be Jiro Kobayashi."
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
