Therefore, Kang Jinglong did everything he could to prove himself before Divine Physician Kang.
"Big Brother, although buying up small pharmaceutical factories is admittedly a bit troublesome — the production sites are scattered, which makes unified management inconvenient — that's no problem. Our Kang family's production lines can mainly produce the fast-selling items, while those small factories can handle the less popular products. With each factory concentrating on a single product, all we need is to send one of our own people to sit at each site and take charge, and that will be more than enough. Of course, what Big Brother said is also right — we can expand our production lines at the same time, running both in parallel so that production isn't held up!" Kang Jingming said.
"Mm, Zhaoming makes sense. Zhaolong, so long as you keep the formulas confidential, that will do. There's no need for you to stick your hand into operational matters like this!" Divine Physician Kang said to Kang Jinglong.
A flicker of chagrin passed through Kang Jinglong's eyes. He had once been the heir apparent to the Kang family, but now he had been utterly marginalized.
Fatty Lai and Guan Xuewen had never imagined that while Wei Zhao was off on a trip, such a momentous affair would erupt back home! When Divine Physician Kang Pharmaceutical Company first held its new product launch, Fatty Lai had paid it no attention, taking it for a loss-making publicity stunt — a final, desperate struggle!
But by the time Fatty Lai saw Divine Physician Kang's Golden Wound Salve and All-Pain Relief flowing into the market without end, clearly nothing like a loss-making publicity stunt, it was already too late! The pharmacies that had formerly worked with them all canceled their orders at once, as if they had come to some prior arrangement. The Liu family's inventory had raised the alarm, distributors' returns piled up into mountains, and even a seasoned veteran of the business world like Fatty Lai was completely dumbfounded.
For the situation before him had gone completely beyond his expectations. The cost of Divine Physician Kang's Golden Wound Salve was right there for all to see — how could they possibly sell it at such a cheap price? And where had the formula for their All-Pain Relief come from?
If one said that the price reduction of their Golden Wound Salve and the launch of All-Pain Relief came from stealing the formulas of Fatty Lai's company, then the appearance of the deluxe edition of the Golden Wound Salve and the weight-loss drug undoubtedly proved one point: their formulas had not come from Doctor Guan Pharmaceuticals!
For not even Guan Xuewen or Fatty Lai had the formula for the deluxe edition of the trauma medicine in hand, let alone the weight-loss drug that had never been put into production! Every indication thus suggested that Divine Physician Kang Pharmaceutical Company must have recently obtained the backing of some powerful force; otherwise, it could not have kept launching new products one after another!
Moreover, under such tremendous sales volume, being able to maintain steady supply meant leasing the production lines of at least many small pharmaceutical factories — such connections were certainly not something Divine Physician Kang himself possessed!
Although Fatty Lai's conjecture was largely close to the truth, even knowing it was of no avail, for Wei Zhao was not at home, and they had no product with which to counter their rivals! What frustrated Fatty Lai most was that Wei Zhao's phone was switched off at such a moment!
