Sato Kuniichi felt that he was a well-educated person, so he asked with a smile:
"Mr. Chen, I think you'd better confirm this. This matter is very important to Mr. and Mrs. Li. It's very serious. I don't think it's a good time to brag."
Li Weiyuan also calmed down and thought, yes, how could such an internationally renowned expert come to Hong Kong and work under the Four Seasons Group?
Chen Xia was no longer sure about what they said. After all, it was such a big group with so many foreign experts, and he only remembered most of it.
So, in front of everyone, Secretary Dai Zixin picked up her cell phone and called the human resources department of Four Seasons Group to inquire.
There was no hands-free service these days. Dai Zixin put down the phone and said with a smile:
"That's right. Mr. Donald Thomas, a professor at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, USA and also at the University of Washington, is currently working at the Four Seasons Organ Transplant Center in Hong Kong. It's a two-year training program."
"What?"
"real?"
Now both Li Weiyuan and his wife and Sato Kazu were shocked and began to doubt their lives.
But what followed was that Li Weiyuan excitedly grabbed Chen Xia's hand and asked her to go to Hong Kong immediately to help his grandson get treatment.
For the Li family, this was truly a case of searching for something in vain, but it took all the effort to get it. They never expected that the big shot they had been longing for was right in front of them, within their reach.
But Sato Kazuchi still couldn't believe it.
"How is this possible? Why would Professor Donald Thomas go to Hong Kong for further studies? Are you kidding me? Is the hospital affiliated with the Four Seasons Group the best hospital in the world? Is it worth it for such an internationally renowned doctor to go there and work for free?"
Chen Xia smiled and said:
"Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is not a very complicated operation. The most complicated part is the application of anti-rejection drugs after the operation. Otherwise, the operation will be in vain because the failure rate is too high.
But I'm very sorry, at present, most of the anti-rejection drug patents in the world are in the hands of Four Seasons Group. We can provide Professor Donnell with the anti-rejection drugs needed for the operation, and he can also verify some of his clinical surgical ideas.
It was precisely because of this that Dr. Donal Thomas came to our Four Seasons Organ Transplant Center for further training and was willing to work for us for two years. Now the facts are in front of us, and I really wasn't bragging."
Li Weiyuan and his wife excitedly picked up their grandson from the inner room and shouted:
"Okay, then the Heart Pills belong to the Four Seasons Group. As long as you help my grandson with a bone marrow transplant and can cure his illness, I won't charge a penny for the secret formula."
Chen Xia also responded loudly: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, leave this matter to us. We guarantee that you will have a healthy grandson."
Reversed.
The Japanese side can help to make appointments, while the Four Seasons Group can directly send people to your doorstep and also provide anti-rejection drugs. The difference in interpersonal relationships and influence is obvious.
The two of them were arguing with each other, while Sato Kazuchi was furious, feeling that he had been completely insulted in China.
But he considered himself well-educated, so he didn't say anything harsh and turned around to leave.
Sato Yoshikazu was ready to swallow his anger, but his young assistant obviously couldn't swallow it:
"Mr. Chen, I don't think it's wise for Four Seasons Group and Dongchuanwu to compete for the secret recipe. This recipe is only worth tens of thousands of RMB, and you're driving up the price, right? This isn't normal market competition.
We are a pharmaceutical company with a century-long history. How many years has Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceuticals been established? If you want to enter Japan with your drugs in the future, it would be best not to offend Japanese domestic pharmaceutical companies. That way, we can still have opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Chen Xia was unhappy when he heard this. Competition is competition. What's the point of competing if you can't win?
Is this a disguised threat?
"Excuse me, I'm the Vice Chairman of Four Seasons Group. What's your rank? I've heard that the hierarchy in the Japanese workplace is very strict. How can a small figure like you speak to me like that? I'm afraid your president is always polite when he sees me, right?"
Chen Xia's words were very impolite and he was quite disrespectful to this person.
Sato Kazu suddenly interrupted:
"Mr. Chen, this is Higashikawa Kotaro, the son of our president. He is here with me to gain experience. I believe his status should be equal to Mr. Chen's."
Higashikawa Kotaro also said disdainfully:
"Equal? What's Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical's annual output value? What's its annual export volume? Last year, Tokawa-ya exported $2 billion worth of traditional Chinese medicine. Are Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceuticals even on the same level as us? Are you kidding me?"
"you……"
Lin Hui was about to lose her temper and wanted to let them know that the patents owned by Four Seasons Group's Summer Company could bring in $2 billion in patent fees every year, but Dongchuanwu's $2 billion in export profits were only a few hundred million?
What's more, Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceuticals is just a subsidiary of the Four Seasons Group, and Dongchuanwu and the Four Seasons Group are not of the same scale at all.
equality?
At this time, Li Weiyuan quickly came out to smooth things over, "Everyone, even if our business may not be successful, we still have a purpose. Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!"
Chen Xia shrugged. Since Four Seasons Group was the final winner, he didn't feel angry at all.
Instead, it was Dongchuanwu that lost an important future product because of their own interception. It was them who suffered the loss. Let them go their own way and cry.
The two sides parted ways unhappily.
Before leaving, the young man named Kotaro Higashikawa made a throat-cutting gesture towards Chen Xia, then got into the car with a look of disdain on his face.
The bodyguard next to him was about to rush forward, but Chen Xia stopped him. He said, "He's just a young man from the second generation. What's there to bother with?"
Just as Chen Xia and Li Weiyuan were discussing the transfer of the secret recipe of Baoxin Pills and the specific matters of little Li Liang going to the Four Seasons Organ Transplant Center for medical treatment.
Sato Kazuichi and Higashikawa Kotaro were discussing what had just happened in the car.
"Dongchuan-kun, you were just impulsive. The Four Seasons Group is still very influential in China, and they own a 15% stake in Takeda Pharmaceutical. Chen Xia is no small figure, so there's really no need to offend him."
(Through personal acquisitions, Chen Xia's stake in Takeda Pharmaceutical has increased from 10% to 15%)
Higashikawa Kotaro disagrees:
"Zuo Teng, don't you think Four Seasons Group is being too rude? We were the ones negotiating with the Li family first, so he shouldn't have rashly intervened as a latecomer. If our negotiations fail, he can make another offer.
But we were clearly still bargaining, and he just threw out a sky-high price. This is really against the rules. If they weren't lucky enough to have an American doctor working in Hong Kong, I would have added to the price no matter how much it was, because I just didn't want them to get what they wanted.
After these words were spoken, Sato Kazuchi nodded unconsciously.
