Otherwise, in his case, it would be difficult for him to take out five million US dollars so easily within such a short period of time. Albert then added, “Oh, by the way, Master Wade, Mr. Smith also said that the Apothecary Stomach Pill has already been approved for listing in the United States. He said that some kind of return receipt letter would be sent soon.”Charlie smiled faintly and said, “As expected.”After saying that, he then said to Albert, “Albert, tell Smith that Liam has decided to meet with him tomorrow morning. Ask him to come to The Heaven Springs at noon tomorrow. I will come and attend the meeting with Liam at that time.”“Okay!” Albert said respectfully, “In that case, I will prepare the Diamond Room in advance, and I will not be receiving any external guests tomorrow.”Charlie instructed, “Make an appointment with Liam as well. If Liam is not available at noon, you can make an appointment with him for tomorrow night, then. Either way, I will be free at noon
Seeing that Liam had started to get used to the new, temporary title, Charlie sat beside Liam and asked him, “Have you received the return receipt letter of the Apothecary Stomach Pill from The Food and Drug Administration?” “Yes, I did.” Liam said, “The Food and Drug Administration has even listed the Apothecary Stomach Pill as a medication for use in hospitals. We’ve now started the procedures of customs approval. We’ll soon send five million boxes to the United States.” Charlie then asked him, “Have you established the sales channel in the United States? After all, the Apothecary Stomach Pill is an oral drug. We can’t put it on sale on our own, right?” “Yes.” Liam explained, “Any item that is termed as medicine must go through the proper channel of drugstores to sell them. So, we have to start with Walgreens in the United States. There are more than eight thousand Walgreens in the United States, and it is a drugstore franchise that has the highest sales in the United States. I
He did not know Charlie, and he also did not know Charlie’s identity. Still, as long as he saw that Liam was there, he was half-relieved. Thinking of his wife’s advice, he got on his knees the moment he entered the place. Looking ashamed, he said to Liam, “Mr. Weaver! It was all my fault! Let me apologize to you!”After he had said that, he bent down and groveled before Liam. Liam was slightly bewildered by what Smith was doing, and he said awkwardly, “Mr. Smith, what are you doing...” Smith said remorsefully, “I was blinded before and offended you. I’ve also offended that amazing medicine, the Apothecary Restoration Pill. I’m filled with deep regret. So, I hope that you’ll forgive me for offending you previously!”Liam said helplessly, “Alright, that’s fine. We’ll forget about that for the time being. You’d better take a seat. Let’s talk business.” Only then did Smith stand up in utter gratitude. After that, he took the seat that was left vacant for him. At that time, Liam
However, the moment he thought that The White House was also extremely eager for this medicine, he felt that they might agree to it if he informed them about it. Therefore, Smith said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, I can’t give you my word right now, but I can think of ways to help fight for it.” When Charlie heard his reply, he was soon enlightened. If Smith did not have the support of the federal government, he would not even have the ability to strive for this kind of promise. Since he claimed that he would think of ways to strive for it, his backer was most certainly the federal government. Hence, Charlie said again, “I also want to demand that the FDA give the green light to all future medicines of The Apothecary Pharmaceutical. I won’t make things difficult for you, asking you guys to approve our medicine quickly without any assessment. I just demand that you guys can give us the approval within one month when we file for the application.” Smith thought that he was able to de
The so-called “I don’t give a sh*t!” was a swear in American English. It roughly meant that someone did not f*cking care for something or they were not in the least f*cking bothered by it. The reason why Charlie had chosen an American swear was because he wanted to use a simple and harsh way to show his attitude in front of Smith. ‘You want to talk about your rules in front of the Apothecary Restoration Pill? Do you even deserve that?’ When Smith heard that sentence, he immediately understood Charlie’s attitude entirely. The Apothecary Restoration Pill was being discussed there. Although it was a life-saving amazing medicine, if it was faced with the rule, it would turn out to be a nuclear weapon even if it was stopped by God. It could conquer anything that stopped it. Besides, its production was rare. If that was the case, it would be all one could wish for. Under that kind of circumstance, everything would be purely the seller’s market. The seller was akin to the father.
The reason he produced such a type of medicine was not for the sake of earning money. Instead, he wanted to help Apothecary Pharmaceutical open up the markets in various countries. When Smith heard that, he immediately concluded inwardly. ‘The reason why the Apothecary Pharmaceutical can’t produce this kind of medicine in mass must be because the levels of their production and workmanship are insufficient. That’s why they can’t make a breakthrough in production!’ Thinking of that, he hurriedly said, “Mr. Weaver, Mr. Wade, I wonder if you gentlemen have the interest to sell the patent of this medicine to the pharmaceutical companies in the United States?” When Charlie heard that, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Smith. For him, he felt that Smith had finally revealed his cunning self. Hence, he said resolutely, “That’s impossible. We’ll never sell this patent!” Smith hastily said, “What if the enterprises in the United States can pay a large sum of buyout fee? For exampl
Helplessly, Smith could only ask Charlie, “Mr. Wade, if we decide to import the Apothecary Restoration Pill at a million dollars per box for the time being, how many boxes can you provide us?” Charlie waved his hand. “We can’t put the price too low for now. If you guys want to import it, it has to be five million dollars per box. I can give you twenty boxes at a time.” Smith became very restless. Subconsciously, he asked, “Mr. Wade, didn’t you tell me just now that it wouldn’t be more expensive than Novartis’s medicine? It’s now three million dollars more expensive than Novartis’s medicine!” Smiling, Charlie said, “The price of a million dollars is the price of the medicine when it’s officially listed. I always mean my word. After it’s officially listed, I’ll give you the patent for free if the price is more than a million dollars. For the time being, however, the price will be five million dollars per box. It’s unnegotiable.” Smith no longer had the energy to complain about Ch
After that, the Mayo Clinic of the United States made a grand news report to the entire world. A medical enterprise from Oskia had produced an extremely special medicine that could cure all kinds of end-stage cancers. After Jimmy’s treatment condition had been made public, Mayo Clinic of the United States announced something to the entire world. That drug had unprecedented therapeutic effects on end-stage cancers, and it might entirely change the history of treating cancers. Through Mayo Clinic, that piece of news tremendously shocked the experts in the field of cancers globally almost immediately. It clearly showed that the Apothecary Restoration Pill had posed a strong therapeutic effect on end-stage cancers just by looking at Jimmy’s recovery in that one night. Hence, no one would doubt that there were any fabrications in the content published by Mayo Clinic. The news was soon spread all around the news media, making the entire world delighted for it. The Apothecary Phar
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.
Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
