"If we find that their formula is the same as ours for the Golden Wound Medicine, we can sue them for patent infringement!" Kang Jinglong said. "As for the raw material channels, once we find out who they're dealing with, we can approach those suppliers ourselves and get them to sell all their future raw materials to the Kang family. That way, Doctor Guan's Pharmaceuticals won't be able to source any materials at all. Then they won't be able to produce a thing—and a formula will be useless without product!"
"So that's the plan! Understood. I'll do my best to dig around," Kang Jingming said with a nod.
"It's best if you can find out ahead of time. If the formula for the Life-Extending Detox Pill is too difficult to get, set it aside for now," Kang Jinglong said. "After all, our Kang family's biggest competitor right now is Doctor Guan's Pharmaceuticals!"
"All right..." Kang Jingming agreed, though inwardly he was already scheming about how to get his hands on Doctor Guan's wound medicine formula and its raw material purchasing channels! Did Guan Xin know about any of this? Even if she didn't, it could still be found out. It looked like he would have to win Guan Xin over first!
After hanging up on his brother, Kang Jingming felt a twinge of urgency. Doctor Guan's Pharmaceuticals would be launching its new product next month, and he had to settle the formula business before then. That was cutting it rather close!
"Wang Shubin, there's been a change in plans. We have to win Guan Xin over fast!" Kang Jingming did not hide his intentions even from his trusted subordinate. "My brother's already pressing me. Doctor Guan's Pharmaceuticals is bringing its new product to market next month, and we have to get their wound medicine formula and raw material procurement channels before then!"
Since Wang Shubin and Zhu Xiaozhang had both helped him carry out dirty deeds before—murdering Little Fen, for instance—this sort of thing no longer counted for much in their eyes.
"Young Master Ming, that's a bit tricky. A pure, innocent girl like Guan Xin has strong defenses, and given her family background, she won't be easily tempted by money or anything like that. So all our old tricks of throwing cash around to pick up girls just won't work!" Wang Shubin furrowed his brow and sighed. "A well-bred young lady like Guan Xin—they all like a bit of romance. But we're not exactly the romantic type..."
"Romance... damn it, I haven't known what romance is for ten years. If I see a pretty girl, I just smash money at her!" Kang Jingming said viciously. "But I don't care—you think up a romantic plan right now! I have to win Guan Xin over as soon as possible. There's no time!"
"This..." Wang Shubin broke out in a sweat. Where was he supposed to pull some romance out of thin air at the drop of a hat? But since it was Kang Jingming's order, he had no choice but to obey. He could only rack his brains...
Zhu Xiaozhang hadn't been named by Kang Jingming, but there was no guarantee he wouldn't be asked in a moment, so he didn't dare slack off either. While Wang Shubin was thinking, he was working on a plan too.
"You three, what are you doing standing right in the middle of the hospital gate? Looking for death?"
The three of them were deep in thought when a sudden shout rang out beside their ears, jolting them back to their senses. Kang Jingming looked up and saw a hearse trying to enter the hospital—the three of them had been standing right in the middle of the gate, blocking its way!
The hearse driver had come with funeral wreaths to collect a corpse, only to be blocked solid at the gate by Kang Jingming and his two companions. He honked and honked, but the three of them seemed not to hear a thing. With no other choice, the driver rolled down his window and started cursing at the top of his lungs!
