"Professor Jiang … Is Linger with you?" Huang Zhihui quickly walked over with a flashlight.
"Here!"
Jiang Tian greeted him and stuffed Huang Linger into his arms. Then, he made a shushing gesture.
Jiang Tian whispered something into his ear and patted him on the shoulder.
Huang Zhihui was shocked. He sighed deeply and nodded.
Jiang Tian snapped his fingers in Huang Linger's ear. She quickly woke up and looked at Jiang Tian in confusion.
Jiang Tian smiled and walked away.
Huang Zhihui squeezed out a stiff smile and said dotingly, "Linger, let's go home!"
"Dad, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat at home?"
Huang Linger innocently skipped in the direction of the family residence like a happy lark.
"There's yam pork rib soup at home. You wild girl, you went out to play for a day and didn't even come home to eat!"
Huang Zhihui patted the dust off his daughter and rebuked her.
"Oh, I love yam pork rib soup the most!"
Huang Linger happily kissed her dad. However, her heart felt like it was being pulled by something. She couldn't help but look at the strange man under the street lamp.
"What are you looking at? You almost hit a tree!" Huang Zhihui patted his daughter's head and rebuked.
"Nothing, I just feel that …"
Huang Linger stopped and turned her head to look at the back of the figure.
She saw the street lamp sprinkle a bright yellow light, enveloping the man walking alone. It was as if his hair had turned white.
In an instant, Huang Linger's heart suddenly throbbed. Her eyes were slightly red as she murmured, "I feel like I've seen him before. He's very familiar with me!"
"Oh, he's just a passerby. It's probably because he has a common face …" Huang Zhihui chuckled.
But in the next moment, his eyes turned red and tears suddenly flowed out.
"Hmm, it looks … so familiar!" Huang Linger turned around and skipped away.
In fact, Jiang Tian had left a protective jade talisman for Huang Linger, but Nie Feng's desperate actions this time gave him a warning.
"If I'm not wrong, the three big families will continue the same strategy as they did in my previous life. It's time for the financial war to start over the controlling shares of Medicine King Group!"
Jiang Tian's gaze was deep as he let out a long sigh.
"From the looks of it, the stock price of the Medicine King Group is already fluctuating abnormally. Once they gain control of the Medicine King Group, they will begin a series of massacres."
"In my previous life, after the Medicine King Group came under the control of the three big clans, the Jiang Family became penniless. The three big clans, on the other hand, were even wealthier. They could do whatever they wanted in Jinling. Even if they killed my mother and the others, no one would stand up for the Jiang Family!"
Jiang Tian's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said in a deep voice, "In this life, I have already gained control of a large number of connections and resources before returning to Jinling. This is very different from my previous life. I will not allow this to happen!"
Sometimes, the best defense was offense. Even a tiger would do its best to catch a rabbit.
Although Jiang Tian was confident in his strength, he would not give the Nie Family any chance to fight back.
"Grandpa, there's something that I have been thinking about for a long time …"
That night, Jiang Tian returned to the Jiang Manor with Ye Ziwei and Jiang Lin. They found his grandpa and talked about the past.
"Little Tian, tell me!"
In the past half a year, Jiang Changgeng had been continuously taking the Nine Transformation Great Elixir. He was already hale and hearty. He even practiced Tai Chi every day. It was impossible to imagine how weak he was half a year ago.
"Do you still remember Chen Junbin from Yan Jing's Tianwei Pharmaceutical Company?" Jiang Tian said lightly.
"Of course!"
The old man sighed, "Chen Junbin was once the Imperial Physician of the Red Wall School. He was a leading figure in the medical field of the Northern Faction. He was also the Vice-President of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. When I was in university, he even taught me the Origins of Chinese Medicine. Furthermore, thirty years ago, Hua Xia's Traditional Chinese Medicine Association promoted the medical exchange between the North and South. He came to Jinling to give a lecture, and I was once his teaching assistant. His academic standards were pretty good, and he gave me a lot of pointers. But … "
Speaking up to here, he shook his head and sighed.
The old man restrained himself and returned to etiquette. He was a man of knowledge and action, and he never gossiped about others. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would hide it in his heart.
As someone who had lived two lives, Jiang Tian already knew Chen Junbin's true colors and what he would do in the future. Now that the war was about to start, Jiang Tian naturally said what he wanted to say.
"Old man, the Tianwei Pharmaceutical Company is still producing the 'Dangshen Wuji Pill' and 'Angong Bezoar Pill'. However, the patents for these eight medicines belong to our Medicine King Group, and they are also our main products …" Jiang Tian said faintly.
"You still know about these old stories?"
Jiang Changgeng raised his teacup and took a sip. His eyes were deep and long, as if he was reminiscing about the past. "It's still the North and South Medical Exchange from thirty years ago …"
"In those few years, I've been improving and perfecting these eight ancestral prescriptions. Even after I finished improving them, I still didn't feel at ease. At that time, grandfather was only forty years old. You could even say that he was a young lad! "
The old man smiled. "Grandfather wasn't too confident in his own improvements. Coincidentally, he came to Jinling to give a lecture, so I wanted to ask him to take a look. He also gave me some suggestions. However, after some clinical trials, I felt that the effects were average, and it wasn't as good as the original ones. A few years later, your mother married into the Jiang Family and applied for a patent for these eight prescriptions. Our Medicine King Corporation also relied on these prescriptions to rise to prominence … "
"Grandfather, why is Tianwei Pharmaceutical Company also producing these medicines? Why didn't you stop them? "
Ye Ziwei furrowed her brows. "Even if we allowed them to produce them, just the patent fees alone would earn us ¥100,000,000 a year. Tianwei Pharmaceutical Company has been producing for twenty years, so we should be able to earn at least ¥10,000,000!"
"Sigh … I've actually considered this matter for a long time!"
Jiang Changgeng sighed. "Firstly, Chen Junbin did guide me in my medical skills back then. He can be considered as half a teacher to me."
"He once contacted me and said that he wanted to produce these medicines. He only needed to slightly change the formula and apply for a patent. He asked me to give him some face. He's my senior, and he's also very polite. So I couldn't refuse him! "
"Secondly, although Chen Junbin has made a lot of money from producing these medicines, he's also contributed to the development and inheritance of TCM. On this point, our goals are the same. I also hope that these medicines can be passed down. So I couldn't be bothered to fuss about it … "
When he finished speaking, Jiang Changgeng looked at Jiang Tian and smiled. "Tian 'er, why are you asking about such trivial matters?"
Jiang Tian bitterly smiled. "Old Master, I'm worried that this patent will cause a dispute. Chen Junbin will use this to attack our Medicine King Corporation! After all, the Head of Jinling's Chen Family, Chen Donglin, is from the same sect as Chen Junbin! "
"How is that possible?"
Jiang Changgeng smiled. "To put it bluntly, he's producing pirated medicines. The patent is in the hands of the Medicine King Corporation!"
Shaking his head, the old master said, "It's impossible for Chen Junbin to be so unreasonable. During my birthday banquet last year, he even called and said that he wanted to come over personally. But I considered that he's too old, so I didn't allow him to come. But he still sent a lot of Beijing's specialties. He's a sentimental person, and it's impossible for him to cause trouble! "
"Grandpa, we still think that we should clarify the patent and sue them to stop the production of these medicines. If something happens, we'll be in a passive position! "
"I won't allow that!"
Jiang Changgeng's face turned solemn for the first time as he solemnly said, "If there's a problem in our TCM industry, then we'll become a joke to those in the western medicine industry! It'll also be a huge loss to the TCM industry! "
Ye Ziwei and Jiang Lin knew that the old master was stubborn, so they turned to look at Jiang Tian, hoping that he could persuade the old master.
However, Jiang Tian stood up and smiled. "Alright, then we'll go along with grandpa's suggestion!"
Before leaving, Jiang Tian asked, "Oh, right. Grandpa, I'm planning to hold a product launch. The product in the laboratory has already been successfully developed. Can you help us out? Especially the media!"
"Forget it. I won't make do. Are you the one who came up with all these new products? I'm already old, so why should I show myself? "Jiang Changgeng smiled as he waved his hand.
"Oh, alright. We'll do it ourselves!" Jiang Tian replied.
"Furthermore, Jiang Tian, I believe that the development of a company depends on the product!"
As Jiang Changgeng stood up, he held onto Jiang Tian's hand and sent the latter off before he earnestly said, "Your product is good, and the effects are good. Even the patients can praise you by word of mouth. Advertising and marketing are just unorthodox methods, so don't neglect the fundamentals. I won't stop you from holding a product launch, but I hope that it won't be too extravagant and wasteful! "
"Alright. I got it …" Jiang Tian nodded his head and sighed.
Grandpa still doesn't know how terrifying the battle of public opinion is.
After all, it's still 2008, and the internet and media aren't as developed as the future.
… …
It was already late at night when they left the Jiangzhuang Manor. The car's headlights illuminated a long distance in the dark.
"Jiang Tian, is Chen Junbin as trustworthy as grandpa said?" Jiang Lin asked worriedly.
"There's a saying that goes, 'Old people don't respect themselves'. Chen Junbin is a classic example. He will take advantage of the situation to bite our Jiang Family!" Jiang Tian replied.
"Then why aren't you persuading the old master? It'll be troublesome if we start a lawsuit!" Ye Ziwei said anxiously.
"Forget it. If we start a lawsuit, the old master will definitely have to appear in court. He's old and doesn't like to be active. Let's not bother him. "Jiang Tian replied.
"Then what if Chen Junbin bites people?"
Jiang Lin frowned, "He's the leading figure in the Northern School of Chinese Medicine. He's famous and has high prestige. Even grandpa can only be considered as his junior. The moment he speaks, the situation will be disadvantageous to us. It'll be hard for us to turn the tables!"
"It's fine. We'll just take advantage of the situation. The Chen Family will suffer a huge loss …"
Jiang Tian smiled, but his eyes were cold and filled with killing intent.
In his previous life, when the three major families of Jinling started to attack the Jiang Family, Tianwei Pharmaceutical, who had been relying on the patent of the Medicine King Group for more than twenty years, repaid their kindness with enmity. They attacked the Medicine King Group and slandered the Jiang Family for plagiarizing the patent.
At that time, the entire country was in an uproar. The Medicine King Group went from a conscientious enterprise to a thief that everyone wanted to kill. Their stock price plummeted, and the three major families seized control of the company. Grandpa was so furious that he passed away.
But in this life, Jiang Tian returned. He had many people, sufficient funds, and a powerful background. It was fine if Chen Junbin behaved himself.
But if Chen Junbin dared to act rashly again, then his Chen Family and Tianwei Pharmaceuticals would be utterly defeated.
