Once the formulas are out, they lose all competitive edge.
This is why I brought up the second point to ask you and Ms. Rhodes to start planning for the worst case scenario.
Well need to act immediately.
Lauren, now seated behind her desk, shifted into work mode instantly.
Mr. Chapman, are you suggesting we abandon hope of recovering the formulas and instead focus on developing new ones? Marcus nodded.
Precisely, Ms. Rhodes.
Thats exactly what I’m suggesting.
In fact, when the Weller family started aggressively taking over our market share with their health supplements, I began to think along these lines.
Lauren pondered for a moment.
Thats a good idea
The Weller familys supplements have already made our Pharmaceutical Division less competitive, and our performance has been steadily declining, Now, with the loss of three major formulas, it feels like a disaster
But in reality, its just another blow to an already weakening department.
Whether were slightly weak or significan’tly weakened doesnt make much difference.
I understand your reasoning, Mr. Chapman
Marcus smiled.
Exactly.
Thats why I don’t see this crisis as entirely a bad thing.
After all, if the Pharmaceutical Division is to break through its current limits and achieve new heights for the company, relying solely on old successes will never be enough.
Only by continually innovating, developing new formulas, and creating superior products can we dominate the market with absolute authority!
Lauren shook her head
The development of formulas is incredibly costly and time consuming, Just looking at the history of our Pharmaceutical Division at Rhodes Corporation, after decades of effort, weve only managed to develop a few formulas with good market reception.
Mr. Chapman, while your proposal is excellent, the manpower, resources, finances, and, most critically, the time needed to implement it are like insurmountable mountains
Marcus replied seriously, Resources and finances wont be an issue.
Ive been managing the Pharmaceutical Division for years, so I’m confident in our foundation.
We can reallocate tens of billions as an initial budget without any problems ! As for time, with the current market share of our thirty plus products, the department can hold on for a while longer without being completely overtaken by the Weller family or other competitors.
But manpower thats the real challenge.
Mr. Baldwin, Ms. Rhodes, I’m sorry, but thats where I’m stuck.
Lauren said, Its not your fault, Mr. Chapman.
Research personnel are usually highly experienced international pharmacists, pharmacologists, medical specialists, and professors
Its not just you, but even I can’t recruit such high level experts on short notice.
This is not a problem that any single person can solve.
Kingsley, who had been quietly listening to their discussion, suddenly smiled.
Why don’t I take care of the manpower issue? Marcus was stunned.
Mr. Baldwin, you can handle that ? Laurens eyes sparkled with curiosity.
Dr. Baldwin, are you planning to personally lead research for Rhodes Corporation? Kingsley waved his hand.
I don’t have the time or the patience for that.
But I do have a collection of formulas
I can provide Rhodes with a few suitable ones as needed.
Marcus was utterly shocked.
Mr. Baldwin, you actually have formulas you can provide? Realizing his question might have come across as rude, Marcus quickly smiled and added, Please forgive me, Mr. Baldwin.
I didnt mean anything by it I’m just amazed.
Lauren was equally incredulous.
Dr. Baldwin, such formulas are incredibly rare.
Each one is the result of countless hours of effort, wisdom, and cutting edge techniques.
Even if you do have some, theyre far too valuable.
Rhodes Corporation can’t accept them.
Kingsley smiled calmly.
don’t worry
If I say I have them, have them
Once I sort through them, I’ll select a few suitable ones and have them verified by the Pharmaceutical Divisions experts
Marcuss expression twitched as he listened.
Was Kingsley implying he had more than just a few formulas ? How could that even be possible? Marcus knew Kingsleys medical skills were exceptional, but being a skilled doctor didnt necessarily mean he could develop formulas.
Even Dr. Aicker, the famed miracle doctor of Jayrodale, had spent his entire life painstakingly developing just a handful of formulas
Those formulas had been the backbone of the Aicker familys success, earning them an untold fortune. As for Kingsley, while his medical talent might be unparalleled, he was still so young Researching formulas was like studying ancient poetry it required an immense amount of time and effort.
Young people simply didnt have the patience for something so tedious. Lauren shook her head firmly.
No, even if you have formulas, I wont take them.
Dr. Baldwin, I don’t want our relationship to lead you into helping me without limits.
At that moment, Laurens resolve was unwavering, She realized that the man she admired had already reached level where she had to look up to him.
It seemed he truly was capable of everything.
Lauren couldnt help but think back to when she first met Kingsley
Back then, he was nothing more than a man everyone dismissed a so called freeloader, introduced as Hannahs live in boyfriend.
Had Kingsley grown this much in such a short time, or had he been hiding his true abilities all along? Kingsley smiled and said, don’t worry.
Think of it as my dowry for you.
And besides, whats yours is mine its all the same.
Marcus was at a loss for words.
Using pharmaceutical formulas as a dowry ? If Mr. Baldwin presented this kind of gift to marry a princess from one Vestras lesser known royal families, it would be more than enough! At fifty billion per formula in todays market, even the seemingly untouchable royal families with their noble bloodlines would line up for such a proposal.
Not only could he marry a princess, but he could even pick and choose from the most beautiful among them
Fifty billion! That was an astronomical figure! Some of Vestras smaller royal families, despite their glamorous titles of princes and princesses, were truly impoverished
In fact, a countys richest person in Jayrodale could easily outshine the wealth of an entire Vestran microstate
And if it were a provincial tycoon in Etharia, they might even have the local king of the Vestran microstate lighting their cigarettes in gratitude! Although Kingsley had proposed providing formulas, he didnt present them immediately
It wasnt because he couldnt, but because he had so many formulas, and many of them couldnt be casually shared
While Marcus wasnt an outsider and was trustworthy, Kingsley understood the unpredictable nature of people
To be cautious, he decided to give the formulas directly to Lauren at the right moment.
After work, Lauren blushed, her cheeks a soft pink, as she shyly asked, Can I come over and spend some time at your place? Kingsley grinned.
Of course.
You can even stay the night if you want.
Lauren pouted playfully.
Dr. Baldwin, you’re getting cheeky Kingsley pushed his luck further
They say women love bad boys, don’t they? Lauren playfully pinched his waist and leaned in, whispering softly, As long as its you, I love everything
Meanwhile, in Michaels office, Tiana sat cold as ice, glaring at a financial report from the company.
Michael stood by nervously, too afraid to sit down, his posture stiff with unease
Since you took over as CEO, the companys performance has visibly declined, Tiana began coldly.
I havent even brought that up yet, but this latest mistake of yours is no small matter.
Her frustration mounting, Tiana threw the report at Michaels face.
Michael didnt dare show any displeasure
He quickly picked up the report and replied obediently, You’re absolutely right, Aunt Tiana.
This time, its entirely my fault.
# Tianas tone turned sharp.
The Pharmaceutical Division cannot afford any missteps.
If it fails, it will be like a fire in our backyard, and it will undoubtedly jeopardize the family heads operations in Blumedale
