Chapter 643 Gu Family Releases New Drug
"Yes, Mr. Chen, are you familiar with the Lei family? Recently, the Lei family has been looking for me, wanting more supply lines. I originally refused, but if you know them, I'll give those transportation routes to the Lei family," Ma Dazhuang said.
Chen Xuan sneered, "Familiar, yes, but today the Lei family tricked my wife, preparing to withhold medicinal materials from her and aiming to bankrupt the Su family..."
Ma Dazhuang's expression changed, and he immediately altered his tone, saying coldly, "Good riddance to the Lei family! To think they would do such a thing!"
"Mr. Chen, please rest assured. With just one command from you, I will have someone cut off the Lei family's business in the southeastern region. As far as I know, due to fierce competition in Jiangnan Province, the Lei family has moved most of their industries to the southeastern region. If their business there is severed, their influence will regress by twenty years!"
Ma Dazhuang, as the current sect leader of Xuanyin Sect and the foremost figure in the southeastern region, possessed the confidence to make such a statement.
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Good! But there's no rush for now!"
Ma Dazhuang added, "Tell me when you need those medicinal materials, and I'll find someone to deliver them to you!"
Chen Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile. "The clowns like魑魅魍魉 haven't even made their entrance yet. How can the good show start so early? I'll inform you later!"
......
The next morning, shocking news arrived!
The Gu family released a new drug!
Its pricing was significantly lower than what Su Shi Pharmaceutical had intended to set.
Su Yunxi was not surprised by this pricing, as the Gu family had no research costs, thus their pricing was very low.
The Gu family's new drug and its efficacy caused a huge stir in Tianhai City. Within half an hour of the new drug's press conference, the product climbed to the top of the trending search list. It even received official commendation and was hailed as a "national divine medicine"!
Within minutes of the new drug's release, the situation dramatically shifted, and the Gu family's orders were flooded.
Although the Gu family did not have Old Huang endorsing their product as the "Medicine King," its excellent efficacy ensured that it was not significantly impacted.
Su Yunxi sat on the sofa, watching the television screen which was broadcasting the Gu family's new drug press conference. Her expression was solemn...
Chen Xuan walked down from upstairs and sat beside Su Yunxi. He glanced at the screen. "Yunxi, the Gu family has released a new drug. It seems to be earlier than anticipated."
Su Yunxi explained, "The Gu family originally intended to use Old Huang's recognition as the Medicine King as a gimmick, but they didn't expect Old Huang to not receive the title, forcing them to release the new drug now."
Chen Xuan nodded. He looked at the screen, then at Su Yunxi, and asked, "Yunxi, are you angry?"
Su Yunxi's pupils contracted, and she nodded truthfully, a hint of imperceptible chill flashing across her pretty face.
Her calm demeanor was due to her absolute confidence, but to say she wasn't angry would be a lie.
After all, to research the new drug, Su Yunxi and all the staff had toiled in the laboratory for two years, a grueling seven hundred days, far more arduous than a ten-month pregnancy.
In her eyes, the Gu family's new drug was no different from her own child. To have her child, upon its birth, snatched away by another, how could she not feel any anger?
Chen Xuan embraced Su Yunxi, looking at her tenderly, and said, "Yunxi, don't worry, the Gu family will pay the price."
Seeing the fiery passion in Su Yunxi's eyes and feeling Chen Xuan's breath, Su Yunxi's breathing hitched, her face flushing. She nodded, "I know."
Su Yunxi couldn't bear it any longer and wriggled out of Chen Xuan's embrace, her face still red.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and asked, "Yunxi, when do you plan to release your new drug?"
Su Yunxi pondered for a moment. "I think I'll wait a bit longer..."
Chen Xuan understood Su Yunxi's intention. She was waiting to see the reaction of her Su family relatives.
This upheaval was bound to cause significant shockwaves within the Su family. The attitude of the Su family members would determine Su Yunxi's stance towards them.
"Do you think I'm too soft?"
Su Yunxi had already made up her mind during the previous commotion with the Su family relatives, but blood was thicker than water, and at the critical moment, she still felt a pang of softheartedness.
Of course, even if the Su family relatives showed good behavior, it would not change the plan to divest them. As the Su family grew stronger and more prosperous, this step was necessary. The attitude of the Su family relatives would only determine their fate after being divested.
"How could I? After all, we've been together for over twenty years; there must be some affection. Doing this proves you are a sentimental person," Chen Xuan chuckled, understanding Su Yunxi's feelings.
"Thank you for understanding me," Su Yunxi said.
Chen Xuan replied, "But will those ungrateful people understand?"
Su Yunxi turned her head, gazing into the distance, and shook her head, murmuring, "I don't know..."
Just then, an anxious voice rang out, "Yunxi, how can you still be sitting here? Don't you know something big has happened?"
Before the words even fell, Jiang Biyun rushed over in a frantic state, her expression panicked as if the sky was about to collapse.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Su Yunxi took a breath, looked at Jiang Biyun, and frowned.
Jiang Biyun hurried to say, "What do you mean what's wrong? Don't you know the Gu family released a new drug? What's going on? How did the Gu family also develop that kind of medicine?"
Jiang Biyun didn't understand business well, but she was aware of the approximate effects of the new drug Su family had been developing for two years. However, just now, Jiang Biyun saw the Gu family release a new drug with the same effects as the Su family's, which completely bewildered her, prompting her to rush over.
"I don't know either," Su Yunxi shook her head.
"Don't know?"
Jiang Biyun was somewhat surprised. She seemed to realize that blaming Su Yunxi for this matter was futile, and continued, "Yunxi, do you know that now, because many pharmaceutical distributors are scrambling to get the Gu family's new drug, they are not even hesitant to sever cooperation with the Su family?"
"Mom, how do you know?" Su Yunxi frowned.
Jiang Biyun took out her phone, which displayed many calls from Su family relatives. "Those relatives at home couldn't get through to you, so because of the urgency of the situation, they called me."
Su Yunxi took out her phone and saw that there were easily over a hundred missed calls, all from those Su family relatives.
"Yunxi, what should we do about this?" Jiang Biyun said anxiously.
Su Yunxi shook her head. "I don't have any good solutions for now. We can only take it one step at a time and see if we can persuade those distributors."
Jiang Biyun replied, "It seems that's the only way."
After speaking, Jiang Biyun glared fiercely at Chen Xuan, blaming him. "It's all your fault for insisting on living in this villa belonging to the Yu family! This villa is a haunted house and brings bad luck! Look, haven't we encountered more trouble?"
Jiang Biyun already looked down upon this villa, and now that such a major incident had occurred, she directed her blame squarely at the villa. Chen Xuan naturally became the primary victim.
Su Yunxi spoke up for Chen Xuan, saying, "Mom, when Chen Xuan saved you, why didn't you say this?"
Jiang Biyun: "......"
"Hmph, I can't be bothered to argue with you. I need to go visit a master immediately and have that master help me change my luck!"
Jiang Biyun grabbed her bag, twisted her waist, and strode out in her high heels.
Recently, Jiang Biyun had heard from her girlfriends that there was a very powerful feng shui master, and many people had brought good fortune to themselves by getting acquainted with this feng shui master.
Now, after such a significant incident, Jiang Biyun had contacted that all-powerful feng shui master, who could summon the wind and call the rain, through her girlfriend Wang Cuicui.
