Pete's information seems extraordinarily well-informed, even acquiring such confidential news that would surely surprise even Chu Yunxuan on this side.
"What? There's really such a drug?"
Ron was almost immediately unable to stay calm upon hearing this news, and cried out in surprise.
His family is also in the pharmaceutical industry, with a scale even larger than the Helen Family's Reid Pharmaceuticals, ranking among the top major pharmaceutical companies in the United States.
Although he himself works in management and operations, which is preparation for eventually managing the family business, having spent considerable time with Chu Yunxuan, he learned some knowledge about various drugs from her…
Cardiovascular disease is one of the most prevalent ailments worldwide, with a threat level only slightly lower than terminal illnesses like cancer and AIDS.
But because the number of people affected is overwhelmingly large, the annual death toll from related diseases actually surpasses that from cancer significantly.
If there really exists a miracle drug capable of treating cardiovascular diseases, then it's equivalent to possessing a limitless gold mine.
It's even exaggerating to say that if he gets hold of such a drug, even the massive family business behind him, worth billions, would seem unimpressive to him...
He exerted all his efforts to climb to the position of the first heir, solely to inherit this huge enterprise with a larger share of the stock.
This is a family business, not belonging to one individual, but to the entire family... Every heir in the family holds shares, but those ranked higher obtain a larger share, thus having more influence in future board meetings.
Of course, the financial gain is relatively larger as well…
But Ron understands very well that even if he reaches the top position of the first heir, the most shares he'd control would only be around five to eight percent, which converts to roughly fifty to eighty billion US Dollars in cash...
That's naturally an astronomical fortune, one that many people wouldn't spend in their lifetime... Yet for the ambitious Ron, that's far from sufficient!
After all, these are just shares, most of which aren't liquid assets, with many being fixed assets, largely immovable, and the truly usable wealth might be barely twenty percent, perhaps even less…
Whereas if such a miracle drug truly exists, it would mean holding onto a gold mine, boundless wealth would rush toward him wildly.
At that time, let alone a mere fifty or eighty billion US Dollars, even multiplying that tenfold or twentyfold would be achievable effortlessly…
Considering the global population of over seventy billion, even if only one billion are affected by cardiovascular diseases, they become the main target consumers of this drug.
Even if only one-tenth of them decide to purchase, that's still ten million people… an enormous consumer market indeed.
Ron believes with his capabilities, facing such a large consumer base, he can surely earn unimaginable wealth.
Not having heard this news, Ron was relatively calm. Even upon hearing that Chu Yunxuan already has a boyfriend, his heart was merely slightly uncomfortable.
But now, upon hearing this information, especially as it seems to be within Chu Yunxuan's control, how could Ron sit still…
"Pete, where are you now? I'm coming over right away…"
With such a drug, Ron naturally wants to find a way to keep it within his grasp, unable to sit still, he must rush over immediately.
From Pete, Ron already learned that Helen is representing Reid Pharmaceuticals in the negotiation with Chu Yunxuan regarding this drug collaboration… which is absolutely unacceptable to Ron!
Ron is very clear about the relationship between Helen and Chu Yunxuan, and he knows Helen's identity as well. Once cooperation talks begin, unless Reid Pharmaceuticals exhibits utter incompetence, the partnership will undoubtedly quickly conclude…
Ron naturally doesn't want such a thing to happen. In his view, the drug belongs to Chu Yunxuan, hence his own possession, he must rush over to prevent it, and obtain the drug himself...
"I'm currently in Jiangzhou, Dragon Country…"
Pete cheerfully reported his address, also waiting for Ron to come over.
...
Pete's affairs were quickly set aside by Qin Fang because he has more important matters to address.
Not long after entering the hotel, a voluptuously dressed Helen Dayangma approached their direction.
"Dear Qin, it's so nice to see you again…"
Helen Dayangma showed no reservations, upon seeing Qin Fang, ignoring the presence of Chu Yunxuan beside him, she promptly gave Qin Fang a bear hug and even offered an affectionate kiss, leaving two red lip marks on Qin Fang's face…
"Miss Helen, could you be a little less enthusiastic?"
Facing the fiery Helen, Qin Fang appeared rather helpless; this charming and alluring foreign beauty was overwhelmingly enthusiastic, leaving even a tough guy like Qin Fang calling for relief.
"Enthusiastic! Of course, I must be enthusiastic… You're Yunxuan's man, so we're not outsiders, obviously, I must be enthusiastic!"
This Miss Helen Dayangma asserted earnestly.
It seems that a while passed and her Chinese has improved considerably, possibly from constant practice during this period.
However, this lady has a limited understanding of Dragon Country's customs yet insists on acting as if she's an expert, leaving Qin Fang listening to her words with a wry smile.
Fortunately, Helen didn't teasingly provoke him as before, instead turning to give Chu Yunxuan a warm embrace as well, not favoring one over the other.
Of course, the kiss was naturally omitted with Chu Yunxuan…
"Helen, stop joking around, we're here to discuss cooperation matters!"
Seeing Qin Fang's predicament, Chu Yunxuan, understandingly, tugged at the seemingly mischievous Helen Dayangma and said.
"Come, come, come, let's not stand here, let's go to my room where we can talk slowly…"
Helen nodded, acknowledging that the hotel lobby wasn't suitable for such discussions, promptly leading Chu Yunxuan and Qin Fang upstairs to her room.
Helen stayed in the hotel's top luxurious suite, this lady always indulged, never frugal with cash, seeking the highest quality services everywhere she went.
Had the presidential suite not been booked months in advance, she certainly would have stayed there.
Still, even this business suite is extraordinarily lavish, second only to the presidential suite, with each night costs enough to buy a regular car.
"Miss Helen, you truly know how to enjoy life…"
Even after spending over a month on Hong Kong Island with Qu Yuancheng and Kong Er in various high-end venues, Qin Fang experienced many extravagant services, yet Helen's lifestyle left him in awe.
Not because Qin Fang couldn't afford it, but having risen quickly, his roots and character couldn't change so swiftly.
It's only a princess from a great family like Helen who would pay close attention to such indulgence… Of course, she wasn't alone, many society princesses lead similar lives, some even exceeding Helen!
For instance, the daughter of the most famous hotel mogul, whose lifestyle is truly extravagant, not only frequently updating her luxury items but switching boyfriends quicker than clothing!
"This is hardly enjoyment… After our collaboration succeeds, you'll soon surpass me in wealth, is there anything you couldn't buy?"
Helen chuckled, taking out a bottle of whiskey, clearly a rare item… Louis XIII, indeed a lady who appreciates enjoyment.
Upon hearing this, Qin Fang was slightly stunned, looking at Chu Yunxuan with surprise, somewhat puzzled how Helen knew the Heart Nourishing Pill belonged to Qin Fang.
"Don't look at me, she figured it out herself…"
Chu Yunxuan shrugged, gesturing toward Helen.
It's evident that this beautiful and elegant lady is not just about looks and ample bosom, but is indeed a very astute woman.
Reflecting on it, it's understandable. Without such ability, how could Helen's family appoint her as Reade Pharmaceutical Group's Asia Division president for such a crucial position?
Asia, being the largest and most populous continent, naturally holds the largest market… Though numerous countries in Asia have mediocre economies, it doesn't imply a small market.
Especially in current Dragon Country, its economy has soared for thirty years, furthermore as the engine of the world economy, it can be considered the world's largest market, making the Asia Division president's value equally comparable to the head positions at the headquarters…
Even at some joint board meetings, her voice as Asia Division president is considerably impactful…
Just like the Heart Nourishing Pill's clinical trials in the United States and related procedures, all realized through Helen's influence…
Thus, in this partnership discussion, on Qin Fang's side it's him and Chu Yunxuan, while Reid Pharmaceuticals naturally is led by Helen… (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
