"Little miracle doctor, it's not that I like to speculate, but with the health bureau's investigation and the thugs causing trouble these past two days, it's all rather suspicious. I think the Qingtian Hospital is definitely involved!"
As soon as the police took away the tattooed man and his group, Wang Fang said to Han Lang with a serious expression.
"It's fine!"
Han Lang pondered for a moment and continued.
"Qingtian Hospital doing this precisely shows that we have already posed a threat to them, which is a good thing."
Luo Jiaying nodded as if she understood.
"Brother Han Lang is right. Fortunately, we were prepared and added anti-counterfeiting measures to the prescriptions. Otherwise, we would really have no way to explain ourselves this time."
"Miss Luo is right! With these, we don't fear their underhanded tactics, but we still need to be careful!"
"The boat will reach its destination naturally when it gets there. Let's just wait and see!"
On the other side,
Gou Family Estate.
Gou Xingzhi sat on the sofa with a worried expression.
The situation at Qingtian Hospital was not optimistic. Price cuts could lead to Qingtian Hospital's demise even faster; however, without price cuts, Qingtian Hospital seemed to lack any effective competitive edge.
"Sigh..."
He sighed heavily, pinning all his hopes on Gou Tuizhi.
"Tuizhi, how much more time do you need? How much longer can the Han family hold on?"
"Five days! At most five days! The Han family will have to declare bankruptcy!"
Gou Tuizhi's smug expression was a stark contrast to Gou Xingzhi's worry.
"Still five days?"
Gou Tuizhi seemed to sense something was wrong with Gou Xingzhi and immediately said.
"That Han Kang from the Han family is stubbornly holding onto those old clients, and there's nothing I can do about it. However, Uncle, don't worry, within five days, I will definitely have all of the Han family's clients sign contracts with us. By then, no matter how much Han Kang tries to cling on, he absolutely won't be able to get those clients back!"
"But..."
Gou Xingzhi hesitated.
At the current pace, Qingtian Hospital's revenue would decrease by at least fifty percent. Coupled with the Gou family's pharmaceutical factory competing with the Han family's low-price contracts, the overall loss would amount to several hundred million. If the family head were to blame him, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility!
"But the hospital can't hold on much longer! Our self-production and self-sales plan will have to be stopped soon!"
Gou Tuizhi and Wang Fei listened to this and were shocked.
"How can that be? Isn't Qingtian Hospital the best private hospital in Lecheng? And with your status as a medical doctor, Uncle Gou, people should be flocking to you for treatment. How can it not hold on?"
Gou Xingzhi sighed again and said.
"Nephew, you don't know this! Ever since we started suppressing the Han family, that Han Lang opened a Chinese medicine clinic opposite Qingtian Hospital."
"I don't know where he got such great influence, but in just twenty days, he has severely threatened the hospital's survival. If this continues, although we can take down the Han family's pharmaceutical factory, we definitely cannot bring down the entire Han family!"
"It's not worth the loss!"
Gou Tuizhi was so angry after hearing this that he slammed the table.
"Hmph! Han Lang! You really are a cockroach that can't be killed!"
Gou Xingzhi was a little confused, and from Gou Tuizhi's words, it seemed like he had already planned for the current situation.
"Tuizhi, could it be that you?"
Gou Tuizhi sneered.
"Uncle, since the hospital can't hold on, let's just give up. But don't worry, as for the Han family..."
"I have already made arrangements! Just wait and watch the show!"
Gou Xingzhi and Wang Fei were overjoyed upon hearing this.
"What plan do you have? Tell us!"
Gou Tuizhi was about to speak but swallowed his words, only giving them a knowing smile.
"It's a secret. You'll know in a while."
Three days later,
Han Family Pharmaceutical Factory, General Manager's Office.
Han Kang anxiously tried to retain the guests in the office, saying.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhang, you are all seasoned veterans in the pharmaceutical industry. Gou family's favorable terms must have some ulterior motive! If you sign contracts with them so rashly, you'll be the ones who suffer if they go back on their word!"
Despite Han Kang's earnest words, the three men in suits opposite him were unmoved.
"Mr. Han, we are all businessmen, and you should know that in business, money never lies! If it weren't for our years of friendship, I would have terminated the contract with you long ago."
"Yes, Mr. Han! More than half a month has passed, and you haven't come up with any better solutions! As long as you are willing to lower prices, even if it's ten percent higher than the Gou family, we will still renew the contract with you. But..."
"Mr. Zhang is right! Put yourself in our shoes, Mr. Han. Yes! Your medicines are indeed more effective, and at the same price, I would 100% favor your products! But the Gou family is now offering a profit margin that is three hundred percent higher. If it were you, what would you choose?"
The words of the three bosses left Han Kang speechless. He knew that what they said was all reasonable!
As businessmen, seeking profit was natural. If it were himself, he might make the same decision.
"But..."
Han Kang wanted to say a few more words, but he was directly interrupted by Mr. Zhang.
"Stop talking, Mr. Han! We have done all we can, and we have been extremely considerate. Everyone knows very well that if you hadn't offended the Gou family, they wouldn't be targeting you like this.
"As old friends who have cooperated for many years, we have persisted to this point, which is truly our limit. We can't expect us to drag our families along to fight the Gou family with you."
"We are all small businesses, willing but unable!"
Mr. Zhang's earnest words broke Han Kang's last line of defense. At this point, he knew it was almost impossible to turn things around.
"Alright! Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang, regardless of anything else, thank you for your care and trust in the Han Corporation over the years. I sincerely hope you will achieve even greater success in the future!"
After hearing this, the bosses all patted Han Kang's shoulder helplessly as a gesture of comfort. Then, one by one, they walked out of the room.
Han Kang slumped into his chair powerlessly.
He regretted it.
If he had insisted earlier and let Han Lang humble himself and apologize to the Gou family, perhaps the Han Corporation would not have reached this point!
But at that time, he had believed Han Lang's one-sided words, thinking he truly had the ability to fight the Gou family alone.
"Alas, it's too late! Everything is too late!"
Just as Han Kang was regretting his actions alone, the bosses returned and pushed open his office door again.
