Based on the feedback, the sales of the Kobayashi Stomach Pill had already increased seven or eight times, which was already far beyond his expectations.According to these results, Kobayashi Pharma would definitely rise to the next level soon!At this point, Jiro felt pleasantly refreshed, and he could not help but drink a few more sips of the strong alcohol.After taking a few more sips of the whiskey, he felt a hot and burning sensation in his stomach. Immediately afterward, he felt some pain in his stomach.The expression on Jiro’s face changed slightly, and he immediately reached out his hand to take out a sachet of his own Kobayashi Stomach Pill.In truth, Jiro had always had a hidden stomach problem.He had a natural disposition and liking for good liquor, and he loved to drink strong alcohol. So, this had already left a negative impact and damage on his stomach.Last year, his stomach issues had become even more serious, and the doctor had advised him to stop drinking.
Jiro could not help but pay more attention to the matter when he heard his assistant’s words.He frowned as he said, “I also know of Quinn Golding. She is indeed a very beautiful woman who is also very good at acting. However, I never expected her to act as a spokesperson for our competitor this time.”After a slight pause, he said, “Why don’t you do this, then? Contact her agency and ask them how much it would cost for Quinn Golding to endorse our Kobayashi Stomach Pill instead!”His assistant nodded before he said, “Then, I will contact her agency early in the morning tomorrow.”Jiro replied coldly, “Do you still want me to wait until tomorrow morning? Contact them now! An agent’s cell phone is turned on twenty-four hours a day, and it is never turned off.”“Okay, I will contact them right now!”Jiro returned to his room, and he could not help but feel a little gloomy.He knew that in this era, no matter what people sold, what the competitors feared the most was the effect bro
Jiro did not take it seriously at all as he was consuming the Apothecary Stomach Pill.He felt that this medication would definitely be much worse compared to his own Kobayashi Stomach Pill. He would have to determine how much worse this medication was compared to his own Kobayashi Stomach Pill based on how he felt after taking a sachet of this medication.However, Jiro immediately frowned in the next second.After taking the Apothecary Stomach Pill, Jiro could clearly feel a very warm current in his stomach.The warm current felt like the spring rain which was silently moisturizing the earth without making a sound. The warm current quickly enveloped his stomach, and it brought about a very powerful and effective analgesic effect, giving him a very warm and comfortable feeling.His stomach discomfort disappeared completely because of this warm current, and his entire body felt very relaxed and comfortable!Jiro usually felt the same way whenever he took the Kobayashi Stomach Pill
Jiro was truly angry and frustrated at this time.The Apothecary Stomach Pill provided the exact same kind of treatment as the Kobayashi Stomach Pill. This was an absolute benchmark product in itself.However, the effectiveness of the Apothecary Stomach Pill was much stronger compared to that of the Kobayashi Stomach Pill!Moreover, what was even worse was that the packaging specifications, the net content of the medication, and the price of the Apothecary Stomach Pill, were all the same as the Kobayashi Stomach Pill!This made Jiro feel very uncomfortable!The Apothecary Stomach Pill was much better compared to the Kobayashi Stomach Pill, but the quantity and price of the medication were exactly the same.Wasn’t this simply going to drive the Kobayashi Stomach Pill’s sales to a dead-end?!Also, with Quinn Golding endorsing the Apothecary Stomach Pill, this medication had suddenly become very popular in the domestic Oskian market. This was equivalent to completely cutting off th
His assistant replied in embarrassment, “Chairman, I do not know about that. The other party simply hung up the phone without allowing me to ask anything else in detail…”“What a b*stard!” Jiro replied angrily, “If that’s the case, we can only think of a way to deal with the Apothecary Pharmaceutical. In any case, I will have to buy over their patent formula no matter what it would cost me!”The assistant asked carefully, “Chairman, does the medicine work very well?”“It is super effective…” Jiro replied in a depressed manner, “It is at least ten times better than the Kobayashi Stomach Pill!”Jiro’s assistant was in shock. “Ten times? There is such a big difference?!”Jiro nodded, and he had a gloomy expression on his face as he said, “You should not allow this word to get out to the public. If we can get the prescription for the Apothecary Stomach Pill, we will be able to turn everything around and even take Kobayashi Pharma to the next level. However, if we cannot get our hands
The next day.Jiro left early in the morning as he headed straight for the Apothecary Pharmaceutical.After eating the breakfast made by his mother-in-law, Elaine, he borrowed his father-in-law’s car as he drove toward the Aurous Stadium.In fact, after Elaine’s attitude became even more docile, Charlie’s life at home had already become much more comfortable.Ever since Charlie told Elaine that he would give her a lot of money to take care of their children after Claire gave birth, Elaine began trying to please Charlie even more often now. At the same time, she was also constantly persuading Claire to give birth to a child as soon as possible.Although Elaine had already been married to Jacob for so many years, her cooking skills had never improved throughout all these years. After all, she was just trying to go through the motions with her husband and daughter.But now, Elaine was actually starting to study and read up on some cooking recipes on her cell phone. This was because
She was just like the most beautiful and fragrant flower, and everyone would want to pamper her and show care and concern for her.Although Charlie did not like her romantically, he really had a strong respect and appreciation for her because of the person she was.If he appreciated a person, he naturally would not want that person to come to any harm at all.However, the opponent that Nanako would be facing was the feisty young Aurora.Charlie certainly hoped that Aurora would be able to win the championship. At the same time, she would be able to bring honor and glory to the Oskians.However, he personally did not want Nanako to get hurt too badly.At a certain moment, Charlie even felt like urging Aurora to restrain herself so that she would not use all of her strength after going in the ring. That way, she would not hurt Nanako too badly.However, Charlie gave up on the idea after hesitating for a while.This was because he knew that he should not be interfering in Aurora’s
Young people liked to keep up with the latest trends.If you were to compare the latest trends and fashion, Japan would in no way concede to Oskia.It could even be said that the trends and fashion in Japan were even higher compared to that of Oskia.That was the reason why there was Japanese pop culture, and that was also the reason why girls had Japanese hairstyles, manicures, makeup, and so forth.It could be said that Japanese girls were all very fashionable overall. That was the reason why most of them preferred to live in a fashionable metropolis like Tokyo.However, Nanako was an exception.She had never liked any trendy or modern things.On the contrary, she had always appreciated classical culture.For instance, she enjoyed studying the art of making tea, ancient Oskian, ancient poetry, and even ancient architecture and clothing.Therefore, the city of Kyoto had always matched her temperament and character perfectly.She also knew that nothing good would come out of
Pausing, Julien then said, "I mostly drink wine and the occasional whiskey.""How much are those, usually?" Raymond asked.Julien thought about it. "If it's table wine, 10,000 to 50,000 USD. For bigger occasions, it'd be something over a hundred thousand."Raymond nodded and pointed at the bottle of Oskian vodka he had bought. "Guess how much that is?"Julein shook his head. "I don't usually drink Oskian alcohol, so I'm not too sure…""Come on," Charlie chuckled. "We're not asking if you know—we're just asking you to take a guess.""Then…" Julien quickly said. "I'm guessing, three thousand?""Three thousand?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head. "That's way too flattering. It's around 7 USD.""Seven bucks?!" Julien exclaimed, and he blurted, "You usually drink something that cheap, Mr. Cole?""Well, not stateside," Raymond smiled. "But I liked it after I ordered one from a diner yesterday. It's cheap, and it has quality."Julien gulped as he stared at his own cup filled to th
Julien flinched and promptly threw his hands up. "No, no, no… please don't say that, Mr. Wade! That's not what I mean—as a son, it's only right that I hope my father lives long and prospers. Why wouldn't I want him to?"Charlie pointed out, "Then why'd you say that I've screwed you over repeatedly?""Oh. I, uh…" Julien wasn't sure how to respond to that, and he groaned unhappily, "I was not being mindful with words. I take that back…" Charlie nodded. "Then, I'll give you another chance.""Huh?" Julien was left confused, and he quickly asked, "Another chance… for what?"Charlie clapped him on the shoulder again, smiling, "We're old friends, aren't we? Why would I screw you over? Anyway, your turn."Julien was left utterly aggrieved as he read through Charlie's intention—that was precisely the definition of screwing him over!If his father knew he had come to Aurous Hill to hang out with these two, especially Biden Cole, he would definitely be removed as heir! And yet, Charlie
Having seen a sliver of the common folk's plight, Julien turned back to the journey at hand.Soon, his MPV arrived at Aurous Hill's Antique Street.As it was closing hours, the place appeared bleak, almost as though it had been completely abandoned. It was only during opening hours and the few hours before closing that the place became most alive anyway.Most of the time, the vendors and employees outnumbered the guests, and during closing hours, it would get very quiet. One wouldn't even find strays here as there weren't scraps around.Still, Julien had no idea what the hell the place was, even as he arrived outside Treasure Measure following the location Charlie had sent.Once he was sure he was at the right place, he called Charlie, immediately sounding respectful and flattering, "I'm here, Mr. Wade. If you don't mind opening the door…""Alright, just hang on," Charlie said and put down the phone while turning to Raymond, who was putting the food on a folding table, "Our frien
The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What
At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav
The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even
Pausing, Mr. Bay continued, "If they're not that upset with the idea, I'll bang my gavel and make the call so that you can at least stay as a vice president."If they keep refusing, I just have to promote Mr. Zonda to become a vice president while you take over his position of head-of-department as insurance. What do you think?"Jacob certainly wouldn't protest the idea of insurance, especially when he thought he would be forced to leave the Calligraphy and Painting Association altogether earlier. He quickly exclaimed gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Bay!"Mr. Bay chuckled, clearly relieved as well. "Come on, Jacob—you don't have to be so formal. I'm like a brother to you! Don't you think that's what I should be doing?"Jacob laughed earnestly for once. "Well, brother, I'm honestly relieved…" He trailed off but soon pressed on, "But I have to ask, won't the other members have things to say even if you manage to persuade the other vice presidents? What if they remain unhappy?
There were times when making a person despair to some extent could be a people-strategy.For example, when your distant acquaintance asked for a ten grand loan but you could only lend him one, you couldn't tell him directly that. It would make them think you were being insincere.The better option would be to tell them how you were worse off than they were and had a debt yourself, or that some other friend had borrowed money for three years and never repaid it.And when that mere acquaintance was in despair, you could tell them that if it was really important, you could lend them one thousand with a credit card loan.That way, while the mere acquaintance wouldn't exactly be awash with gratitude, they at least wouldn't complain about your lack of sincerity.That was exactly what Mr. Bay was doing.He had no intention of offending Jacob, but he also couldn't directly tell him to give up on claiming the position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Otherwise, Ja
Jacob felt absolutely horrible just then, and he certainly did not expect Don Albert to give him the cold shoulder.If he had known, he would have just stayed content with the 200 thousand he had made and enjoyed his trip to Dubai! If he had, the Calligraphy and Painting Association wouldn't have found out about the bronze sculpture plot, and Don Albert would still be on friendly terms with him.Absolutely regretting everything, Jacob got in the backseat of the cab, tears of grief almost welling up and out of his eyes.Then, noticing that the cabbie was quietly watching him from the rearview mirror, he turned his face aside, whipped out his phone, and called Mr. Bay.As soon as Mr. Bay answered, he asked, "How did things go over there? Have you sorted out Zachary Evans yet?"He was waiting for Jacob to ask Don Albert for help so that the latter would pressure Zachary into posting a statement retracting his previous claims.However, Jacob knew full well that there was no hope for
