Chapter 1131 — Causing Trouble Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Doctor Guan's Trauma Medicine was not the same as Miracle Doctor Kang's Golden Wound Medicine. Because its formula was ordinary, it was not bound by any shortage of raw materials, and its production capacity could be expanded without limit—so there was as much as anyone could want. Wei Zhao was not worried about supply falling short of demand.
This sort of everyday medicine was different from the Life-Extending Detox Pill; there was no need for any artificial scarcity. They could simply flood the market.
Kang Jingming stood amid the crowd, watching the bustling launch with cold eyes, envy and resentment gnawing at his heart. So many reporters had come—and many of them uninvited! That a newly founded company should draw such attention truly left Kang Jingming feeling sour.
Hmph, just wait—you'll get yours soon enough! Kang Jingming spat a thick gob of phlegm onto the ground. The purpose of his visit was to sabotage Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical Company's new product launch. Though the Kang family had already begun buying up the supply channels for several rare raw materials in bulk, paying exorbitant prices to corner them, the Kang family reckoned that Doctor Guan's company must still have some stock on hand; otherwise they could not have held a launch at all—what would they be launching without product?
"Is everything arranged?" Kang Jingming turned and asked Wang Shubin.
"Don't worry, Young Master Ming. Everything's been arranged. The patient is ready, and the reporters are ready too," Wang Shubin said with a nod.
"Mm, good. Well done!" Kang Jingming nodded, turning over in his mind how he might get his hands on the formula for Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical Company's Life-Extending Detox Pill. Only then would the Kang family soar.
At nine o'clock sharp that morning, Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical Company's new product launch officially began!
Guan Xuewen, Fatty Lai, and Kang Xiaofeng filed onto the stage and took their seats, and the hall immediately erupted in warm applause!
"Damn it! That Kang Xiaofeng really is putting on airs—he actually gets to be a vice president? It makes me sick!" Kang Jingming cursed sourly. In his eyes, this cousin of his was utterly useless, a ragpicker, and yet here he was, with a day like this!
"Heh heh, in a moment he'll have his hands full," Wang Shubin said with a dismissive laugh.
"Distinguished guests, welcome, and thank you all for coming to our Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical Company product launch. I am Kang Xiaofeng, executive vice president of Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical Company." It was Kang Xiaofeng who spoke; this too had been Fatty Lai's deliberate arrangement, to give him experience.
Such occasions were routine for Fatty Lai, and Guan Xuewen, as an authority in the medical world, naturally attended all manner of events frequently; the only one who had never been tempered by such things was Kang Xiaofeng.
Yet though Kang Xiaofeng was nervous, he knew this was a test for him, and so many days earlier he had begun preparing his speech for the launch.
Kang Xiaofeng began slowly introducing the product of this launch, Doctor Guan's Trauma Medicine. Though everyone had long heard of the medicine's marvels, said to be no less remarkable than Miracle Doctor Kang's Golden Wound Medicine, it was only now, with the product truly on the market, that people marveled at just how cheap and worthwhile Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical Company's product was!
A bottle of Miracle Doctor Kang's Golden Wound Medicine cost two hundred ninety-nine, while Doctor Guan's Trauma Medicine cost only one hundred ninety-nine—a full hundred yuan difference. For ordinary folk that was no small sum; how many hundred-yuan notes did a person earn in a month?
