After sitting for a while, Sebastian stood up, ready to leave the shop.However, the old man suddenly took out a document and threw it to Sebastian. "Take a look at this. I've found new clues about your mother." Sebastian was taken aback as he quickly opened the document and scanned it briefly.The old man continued calmly, "After your mother was driven out of the Ballard family, she came to Steinberg, but we don't know why. "My people found out that there was a group of people who once tried to kill your mother, saying she had something on her that shouldn't be brought out."Sebastian frowned, his expression changing drastically. A cold air emanated from him as he asked, "Who tried to kill my mother?""We haven't found out yet," the old man replied, shaking his head.Sebastian frowned, gripping the document tightly. He said coldly, "When you find out, inform me immediately.""You should focus on solving your current problems first."Sebastian sighed, knowing exactly what he
Sebastian frowned as the other party directly presented the collaboration proposal. "If you transfer the rights to this mask, we offer 50 million upfront! Additionally, you'll receive a ten percent profit share and annual dividends. "Based on our initial calculations, Mr. Ballard, you won't have to do anything and could earn a billion annually. If you prefer not to transfer, we can collaborate instead. "Zenith Pharmaceuticals will handle promotion and sales, offering you a 30% profit share. We estimate that you'll receive 70 to 80 million annually."Transferring for a billion or collaborating for seventy to eighty million was indeed a lucrative offer. For most people, it would be extremely tempting, considering Zenith Pharmaceuticals' market share in Steinberg. It meant earning money without doing anything, essentially achieving financial freedom.However, Sebastian refused. "I'm sorry, but I won't transfer or collaborate."The man on the phone sounded anxious. "Mr. Ballard,
At Frostwave Corporation, Whitney sat in her office as Mabel burst in excitedly, her face flushed with enthusiasm. "Ms. Sutton, our mask sales have topped the charts! We've doubled the sales of the second-ranking product!"Mabel was ecstatic, brimming with excitement.With this momentum, the mask developed by Frostwave Corporation could potentially overshadow all other skincare products on the market, solidifying its unshakable position in the skincare industry!Whitney glanced at the data, and a confident smile spread across her lips. "Increase the promotion and advertising efforts. Let's aim to make it onto the national bestseller list within three days!"This bestseller list held immense prestige in the skincare industry. Any product that made it onto this prestigious list would reap enormous profits in the market.And, to put it bluntly, it would usher in a new era in skincare."It's already been arranged," Mabel replied with a smile.Whitney nodded approvingly at Mabel's ef
It meant that out of ten people who had tried the Arctic Snow Mask, nine had purchased it. It was an unprecedented purchase rate!Even the face mask developed by Frostwave Corporation, currently ranked first, had only achieved a 60% purchase rate! Yet, even with this 60% rate, it surpassed the second-place product, which had a 30% purchase rate!Ben took a deep breath, feeling his blood boiling with excitement. He knew that with such a purchase rate, Arctic Snow Mask would inevitably climb into the top five or even the top three! Aspiring to be number one and surpassing Frostwave Corporation was not an overstatement.At that moment, his subordinate had run over and whispered, "Sir, the blackmail material is ready. When should we release it online?"Ben frowned and thought it over for a moment. He glanced at the USB drive in his subordinate's hand. "Let's wait for now. You and I will visit this Rosé Corporation and do our best to secure the distribution rights for Arctic Snow Mask
"You can take it as a friendly reminder. After all, in Steinberg's pharmaceutical industry, there are only a few reputable and influential companies. "Collaborating with Zenith Pharmaceuticals will be beneficial for you and your company, without a doubt," Ben said casually, his tone carrying a hint of coercion.Upon hearing this, Sebastian chuckled and replied, "I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I dislike being threatened the most. I've already understood your intentions. Please leave." Ben was immediately infuriated. Slamming the table, he stood up and rebuked, "Mr. Ballard! Refusing our offer is like spurning a toast and inviting a curse! Remember, in Steinberg, crossing paths with Zenith Pharmaceuticals leads to no good end!""I'm surprised that even after two years, Zenith hasn't changed its ways," Sebastian retorted coldly, his tone tinged with sarcasm."What do you mean, Mr. Ballard?" Ben's expression darkened, his dissatisfaction evident. "Are you familiar with Zenith?
Listening to Ben's cold laughter, Sebastian showed no fear and calmly asked, "Mr. Challer, do you think this will make me succumb to your pressure?""It's not about pressure. I just want to remind you that Zenith has the strength and means to make your life hard here," Ben said ominously. He added, "Mr. Ballard, I'm doing this for your own good. Isn't it nice to earn money while doing nothing?" Sebastian chuckled coldly. He tilted his head back and exhaled deeply. "Since that's the case, I've changed my mind…""Have you come to your senses?" Ben smirked mockingly. He knew that no small company could withstand his tactics."Mr. Ballard, coming to your senses is good. After all, three billion a year is easy money!" Ben chuckled and continued, "So, I'll bring the contract over now, and we can sign it immediately."However, Sebastian interrupted him, his tone cold. "Mr. Challer, you've misunderstood. I meant that the Arctic Snow Mask can collaborate with any pharmaceutical company,
"Clark Hanson, the chairman of Zenith Pharmaceuticals, is quite influential in Steinberg's pharmaceutical industry. He started from nothing and built Zenith Pharmaceuticals into one of the top five pharmaceutical organizations in Steinberg."Rosalie continued, "We Griffins wanted to expand our business in Steinberg, so it's unavoidable for us to have dealings with the leaders in the local pharmaceutical industry. Besides, there's history between Mr. Hanson Senior and my family."Sebastian nodded impassively.Rosalie watched his expression and raised her eyebrows. "What is it, Dr. Ballard? Do you know Mr. Hanson Senior?" she asked. "No." Sebastian shook his head and smiled."But your reaction just now made it seem as if you and Zenith Pharmaceuticals have some kind of conflict with each other," Rosalie said doubtfully.Sebastian smiled but didn't explain further. "Oh right, Dr. Ballard. I brought you here so Mr. Hanson Senior can consult you about his illness." Rosalie tucked h
Brad frowned and said, "Alright, Dad." However, his gaze on Sebastian was still filled with contempt and doubt.Rosalie said firmly, "Mr. Hanson Senior, Mr. Hanson, I can vouch for Dr. Ballard's medical skills. There's no one in Steinberg whose medical skills are as good as his.""Really? It seems that you trust him very much, Ms. Griffin," Brad said, smiling humorlessly.Rosalie paid no attention to Brad's tone. She looked adoringly at Sebastian and smiled as she said, "Yes. I trust him.""Alright. Today, I'd like to see how amazing Dr. Ballard's medical skills are! After all, Ms. Griffin recommends him so highly!" Brad said coldly. He turned a sharp gaze on Sebastian.Sebastian had yet to say anything. He remained in his seat, looking calm. He only spoke when he saw Brad looking at him. "Since you don't trust my medical skills, Mr. Hanson, you may leave."Silence fell at once.Brad's expression contorted, and an icy air seemed to emanate from him!"Young man, do you know what
