Liam said, “The largest unentered market is the United States. The FDA’s requirements in the United States are indeed too strict, and the process is very cumbersome. So, it is trickier, but we have already successfully entered its two neighbors, Canada and Mexico. As for the European side, the largest unentered markets that we have there are Germany and the United Kingdom.”As Liam spoke of this, he sighed and said, “In fact, these three countries, namely the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, have great potential!”“Moreover, the consumption of alcohol in these three countries is very high and thus, the probability of their people having stomach discomfort is also much greater. Therefore, demand for all kinds of stomach medicine is also the highest in the world. If our Apothecary Stomach Pill can successfully enter these countries, I expect that our annual sales will exceed two hundred million boxes!”“Amongst them, our domestic sales will account for about thirty to f
After hearing Liam’s words, Albert, who was aside, could not help but sigh as he said, “If cancer can really be conquered one day, it will definitely be a gospel for all mankind!”As he spoke of this, Albert had a sorrowful expression on his face as he said, “Sigh... My mother died of cancer back then. I took her everywhere to seek medical treatment, but she still could not survive and make it past two years. The pain that she suffered in the last half-year of her life was more than any pain that she had suffered before in her entire lifetime. If that was now, perhaps she might have been able to live a few more years, then...”Liam nodded and said, “That’s right. The speed of medical development is still very fast. There are now more and more treatment methods, and patients can choose from more and more treatment options.”However, Liam suddenly said again, “However, cutting-edge treatment technology is generally very expensive. For instance, the cost for a single treatment for the
If there were any ways for him to put the Healing Pill on the production line and realize mass production, it would then really be possible for Charlie to realize Liam’s vision just now. However, this idea could only be regarded as a good wish so far, and if Charlie truly wanted to realize it, he would have to wait and see if there were any better opportunities in the future.At this time, however, Charlie suddenly thought of how the medicinal effect of the Healing Pill was actually very strong. As long as a person was still breathing, this pill would definitely be able to save that person’s life, and the pill could also cure the vast majority of injuries and illnesses completely. In that case, Charlie could dilute the ingredients to make a special drug that could control cancer immediately! If a patient with a tumor were to take the pill, it would effectively inhibit the development of the tumor, and if the pill were to be taken continuously for a long term, it would not only inh
Charlie knew very well in his heart that if he simply hoped that the Apothecary Restoration Pill could cure cancer, he only needed to refine a batch of Healing Pills and then have Liam use cornstarch to dilute it according to the ratio of one-thousandth of the active ingredients. Cornstarch was, in itself, the most commonly used diluent in the pharmaceutical field. In Western medicine, the active ingredient in a pill was sometimes less than one gram, and the rest of the pill would be almost entirely made out of cornstarch as an excipient that was safe, non-toxic, and would not cause any side effects. In that case, there would be no need to register a patent for the prescription.After all, the efficacy of the Healing Pill relied on the refinement and sublimation of Reiki. Without the use of Reiki to refine the medicine, the medicinal power of the pill would be exactly on the same level as any other ordinary drug on the market. Even if those top pharmaceutical companies that used
Liam immediately said respectfully, “I understand, Master Wade! Don’t worry! I’ll arrange for a trial production when I go back later. I will call you as soon as it’s finished! I will also personally take the Apothecary Restoration Pill to the United States after the production is done!”After saying that, Liam looked at the time and said impatiently, “Master Wade, if you do not have any other instructions for me, I will go back to the factory first and make the arrangements for the work to be done now!” “Okay.” Charlie nodded in satisfaction and said, “You should hurry up and get busy, then. I will not keep you here any further.”“Okay, Master Wade. I’ll take my leave first!”Liam put the prescriptions away carefully and then hurriedly bid farewell before leaving.After Liam had left, Isaac then said to Charlie, “Young Master, during this period of time, Liam’s progress has been visible to the naked eye. His work is not only logical and organized, but he also appears to be much
At this moment, the viewers all over the world were sitting in front of the screen, and they were anticipating Helena’s appearance. More than thirty years had passed since the coronation of a new queen in this world, so everyone was full of curiosity about Helena, the new queen who was about to be crowned and enthroned at this moment. Albert and Isaac could not help but open the live streaming video website at this time as well. The both of them had also met Helena personally up on Mount Wintry, and they also knew that before this, Helena was just a puppet who had no one whom she could rely on in the royal family and that she was being used by the royal family as a tool for marriage. However, only a few days had passed and now, Helena was already going to succeed the throne as the new queen. This was simply an earth-shattering change.Moreover, Albert and Isaac also knew very well that the reason why Helena was able to reverse and turn her life around completely to ascend to the
At this moment, Helena stopped and stood at the entrance of the palace as she waved at the people of Northern Europe who were in a frenzy at a distance far away.The camera of the live broadcast then quickly zoomed in closer to give Helena a full-body close-up. Helena looked even more beautiful in the close-up shot. At this point, the host could not help but sigh and say, “I have to say that Helena Elliot is simply too beautiful. Everyone at the scene is shocked by her beauty and so, you can imagine how happy the people from Northern Europe are feeling at this moment!”At this moment, the camera suddenly noticed a brooch that Helena was wearing on the left side of her chest. The camera then quickly zoomed in and gave a close-up shot of the brooch. The host then said, “Viewers, what you can see now is the camera showing a close-up of the brooch that Helena Elliot is wearing. This should be a leaf made out of gold. It looks very refined and delicate, and there are two letters spell
At this time, the Western media and netizens were all discussing this matter loudly. Everyone was speculating about Helena’s intention in choosing to wear such a brooch on her chest on this incredibly important occasion today. If the letters C and W were truly the initials of a person’s name, who could that person be?In an instant, there were a lot of speculations on the internet, and even many Oskian netizens began to gossip.However, since everyone had the preconceived notion that if these two letters represented the abbreviation of a person's name, that person's name had to be an English name, Thus, they simply couldn't guess the correct answer.After all, aside from those people who appeared on Mount Wintry on the day of the Tomb Sweeping Festival, no one would have thought that those two letters would actually represent the initials of an Oskian person's name.And at this time, the live broadcast was still ongoing.Helena had already boarded the historic royal carriage w
Bitterness swelled in Elaine's heart as she really didn't think that Matilda was doing so well for herself.The fact that Matilda was worth millions alone made her far superior.At the same time, she was also rejoicing that she had never actually met Matilda. If Matilda asked how she was doing directly, how would she respond?In the end, Matilda was no Hannah Queen.Elaine would actually feel accomplished if she compared herself to Hannah.On the other hand, Matilda eclipsed Elaine in every way—she was more beautiful, kind, smart, and knowledgeable. Even her figure left Elaine dead in the water!It was as pointless as comparing a hen to a peacock!Whenever she thought of her, she could comfort herself that she had stolen her man even if she couldn't measure up in any way.But now, Jacob was completely insignificant to Matilda while Elaine still treated Jacob like a trophy.Even as a sense of inferiority seized her, Charlie sighed. "Come on, you should understand where Jacob is
"Exactly!"Charlie agreed, striking the metal while it was hot. "To be honest, the years Matilda spent in the States would be wasted if she was actually still interested!" "She's a Wall Street veteran who'd definitely have met so many successful men! Why would she be interested in a loser like Jacbo Wilson? It's not like she returned from the States after thirty years to help the poor, don't you agree?"Charlie then finished with a sigh. "The way I see it? You're the only one who'd be interested in him."Jacob heard that from behind the wall and was left absolutely fuming and humiliated.He was the only one who knew that Matilda had come back for him—even if she was worth millions now.However, he just didn't have the spine to divorce Elaine and get together with Matilda.He presumed that it was no rush and that he could just give Elaine the silent treatment—who knew, she might just give in and ask for a divorce herself, and then, he would have no issues getting together with M
"Her real lover?!" Elaine exclaimed in shock. "What are you talking about?"Charlie put on a serious face as she said, "Matilda came back to Oskia for her one true love, who is now her fiance. His name is Yolden Hart, a top economist who's now a lecturer at Aurous Hill University, who was invited all the way from the States. He's a professional manager and used to work in Wall Street, so he'd be qualified to be a CEO in any Fortune 500 company…""Professional manager?" Elaine pouted. "That still means he's a wage slave!"Charlie laughed. "Don't underestimate professional managers now. Just look at Apple Inc.'s CEO—the man earns around a hundred million USD per year, and that's over seven hundred million in Oskian dollars!"Elaine was left gaping, unable to imagine how a wage slave could earn so much.At the same time, Charlie continued, "To be fair, Professor Hart wouldn't earn that much, but 50 million per year is still no sweat for him. Do you get the amount of money we're talki
Elaine appeared taken aback, and she promptly demanded, "You've met Matilda too?!"It was only then that Claire realized she had let the cat out of the bag, and she suddenly didn't know what to say. "Oh… Uh… Mom… I, uh… didn't?"Nonetheless, Elaine was suddenly pressing her menacingly, "If you've never met her, how would you know she's a serious person?!"As Claire stayed silent, Elaine broke down in tears. "No… You're lying to me too! Aren't you?!"While Claire was left at a loss of how she should salvage this mess, Charlie suddenly entered and said, "Claire didn't—but I did.""What?!" Elaine was left staring at Charlie, stunned.Still, she soon demanded, "Y-You've met Matilda?! Did Jacob take you with him to see her?""Yes," Charlie admitted, nodding.Elaine snapped right then, and she bellowed, "Then why didn't you tell me?! To think that I've always done right by you, treating you like my own son, but you wouldn't tell me that Jacob is cheating on me! Y-You disappoint me!"
Jacob certainly left Charlie speechless—the man might get kicked out of the house, but he was more worried about his car.Sighing in exasperation, he told Jacob, "Look, if it fails, I won't be able to get you a nice place, let alone leave the Cullinan with you."Jacob blurted out, "But why—""Don't forget—I'm still living in this house even if you're gone!" Charlie explained, his expression dead serious. "If I let you have a nice place and the Cullinan, God knows how terrible a grudge your wife would hold against me. I need to have a sense of self-preservation too!""If I got you a rundown apartment, I could at least defend myself even if she gets upset about that. I mean, I can't let you sleep in the streets, can I? Claire and I would be guilty of abandoning our elders."Seeing the serious look on Charlie's face, Jacob breathed a long sigh as he clapped him on the shoulder, groaning mournfully, "Oh, I get it. I wouldn't want to upset Elaine if I were in your shoes too…"Charlie
Charlie sighed. "I told you it'd blow up, Dad, but you had to doubt me.""I wasn't doubting you," Jacob promptly defended himself. "I thought I might catch a lucky break—"Charlie cut him short, "Fair enough. Then, how are you going to handle this? I can try to stop Mom from going to that wedding and prevent her from getting in the hall even if she went, but what's going to happen to the both of you? Do you want a divorce or do you want to stay with her?"The light in Jacob's faded as he shrugged and sighed. "If I could divorce her, I would've—and I would be living happily with Matilda now. What company would I have if I did it now? Do you think Elaine would let me stay in Thompson First, with that attitude of hers?""In the end, I'd be chased out without a place to stay, and I can't suffer the humiliation of moving back with my mom and brother, can I? Hell, they might not even take me back!""So, that's a no?" Charlie pressed.Jacob smiled wryly. "At my age, even if I could, I w
Hearing that Elaine was threatening suicide, Claire exclaimed urgently, "Take me to her now!"The traffic police officer quickly nodded. "Come on!"As the traffic police officer quickly led Claire to Elaine, Charlie arrived just then and gave chase after leaving the luggage by the entrance.Stopping them, he asked, "Excuse me, officer—where's the gentleman who came with Madam Parker? May I see him?""And who are you?" The traffic police officer asked."I'm his son-in-law," Charlier replied. "I was thinking that while my wife talks to her mom, I can talk to my father-in-law, make peace, and take them both home.""Oh, that'd be great!"The traffic police officer exclaimed and quickly beckoned at a colleague, "Come over. Take this gentleman to Jacob Wilson!""Okay!" The other traffic police officer was also quite enthusiastic.Charlie entered the room where Jacob was first, immediately seeing a disfigured Jacob taking deep puffs of his cigarette.Another traffic police officer w
Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong
Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway
