Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

"Alright, you’ve done well. Go back and keep up the good work."

After Peng Guoqiang and the others left, Xing Bin couldn’t hold back any longer and rushed to the desk, excitedly looking at An Yiqing.

"Miss, I heard you are coming out with a new drug again?"

An Yiqing smiled, tapping her fingers lightly on the desk, teasing Xing Bin, "Binzi, how come you haven’t changed your ways yet? Your parents should find you a wife to keep you in check."

Xing Bin chuckled stupidly, "Oh, Miss, I can’t stand those clingy women. My whole life is tied to the laboratory. I’ve been doing research for a year and a half, but the results are mediocre. It’s still not as good as what you’ve done."

Xing Bin sighed. This year, Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals also launched a few new products, and they were quite effective. But none had the kind of overwhelming awe as when An Yiqing was involved. Additionally, a few pharmaceutical companies have emerged in the past two years, making Xing Bin, who always pursues perfection in medicine, even more frustrated.

"Binzi, are you eating all the meat and not letting others have the soup?" An Yiqing laughed.

Xing Bin blinked, not quite understanding what An Yiqing meant.

"The demand from ordinary people is incredibly strong, just like human desires. When there’s no food, they want to be full. Once they’re full, they want to eat well. And once they eat well, they crave something more diverse. So, demands are endless, and so are markets. It’s about your perspective. It’s good to have a monopoly, but if Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals becomes too dominant, it’ll cause resentment from other companies, which isn’t the result we want. We eat the meat, and we must let them have some soup to ensure peace. Binzi, medicine has no limits, and neither does running a business. What you need to do is find a balance point to manage the situation."

Xing Bin was thoughtful; An Yiqing didn’t disturb him, playing with a ballpoint pen on the desk for a while. After a long time, Xing Bin slowly nodded.

"Miss, what you said makes sense. Previously, I was too aggressive. I focused too much on winning and losing, ignoring the bigger picture."

An Yiqing was gratified; Xing Bin was a smart man, quick to understand.

"Don’t always stay buried in the lab. You’re the leader of Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals; you should listen more to the consumers’ voices. Also, Xuanjin has been quiet for a year and a half; it’s time to make a big move. Here’s the formula, take it."

Xing Bin was thrilled, quickly snatching the formula and examined it carefully several times, continuously expressing his amazement. However, after a moment, he fell silent again.

An Yiqing raised an eyebrow; Xing Bin’s reaction was not quite right.

"Miss, I need to tell you something." Xing Bin hesitated, "Originally, it was nothing, but I have been feeling uneasy. After you went missing for half a year, a pharmaceutical company in Xuandu City made a name for itself. Initially, I didn’t pay much attention, but then a few times when Xuanjin launched new products, within days they produced drugs with similar efficacy but at a much lower price. At first, I thought it was a coincidence, but after buying their drugs for research, I found their drug components are exactly the same as ours. I told Brother Zhang about it, and he investigated for a long time, but it was quite helpless. The company is totally legitimate; they haven’t stolen any secrets or used our patents. We have no choice but to let them develop. But in the long run, it will definitely affect Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals."

An Yiqing was surprised, "Are you saying that company’s drug components are exactly the same as ours?"

Xing Bin nodded, confirming it.

An Yiqing’s brows gradually furrowed; this shouldn’t be! All the drugs produced by Xuanjin are made from medicinal materials grown with spiritual water diluted from Spirit Spring in the medicine fields. Both the quality and efficacy of the medicinal materials are much better than ordinary materials on the market. If it’s an ordinary company, they would never develop drugs with the same efficacy as their medicinal materials.

Unless there’s something not simple behind this company.

After pondering for a moment, An Yiqing spoke, "What’s the name of that company?"

"Ancient Pharma."

Ancient Pharma? This name... sounds so awkward, doesn’t it?

An Yiqing shook her head, dismissing the odd feeling, "Go and buy some of their drugs, I’ll research them personally."

...

It wasn’t long before Xing Bin’s dispatched people returned, carrying large bags of many pharmaceuticals. An Yiqing took a look and smiled, "A company that’s only been established for a year has already come out with so many products, Ancient Pharma is no ordinary company."
