Hong Kong Island chaebol prince: Starting from marrying Zhong Chuhong

When Julien was in the capital, she had always been curious about what Cao Kun's planned pharmaceutical factory would produce.

She finally couldn't help but ask Cao Kun: "What kind of medicine does our pharmaceutical factory mainly produce?"

Cao Kun looked at the smart and perceptive woman in front of him, took a deep breath, and replied, "At present, our main goal is to produce antibiotics!"

"Antibiotics?" Julien frowned slightly, and in her impression, it seemed that there was no shortage of antibiotics in the country.

"Yes, antibiotics!" Cao Kun repeated: "Actually, there is an extreme shortage of antibiotics such as penicillin in our country.

Although as early as the first five-year plan period, the state focused on the construction of a number of large-scale enterprises mainly producing sulfonamides, vitamins, antipyretic analgesics, but so far, we still cannot meet the domestic demand for antibiotics, and most of the chemical raw materials required by pharmaceutical factories rely on imports from abroad!"

Julien was silent after hearing this, she knew the importance of antibiotics and the gap in the domestic market.

In this day and age, the scarcity of antibiotics is undoubtedly a huge challenge, but at the same time it is a rare opportunity.

Cao Kun looked at Julien's expression and knew that she had understood what she meant.

He continued: "Our pharmaceutical company exists to fill this gap.

We want to produce not only antibiotics, but also a hope, a hope that can save lives!"

After hearing this, Julien nodded, she understood Cao Kun's ambition and determination, she didn't go to set up a factory for herself, she did still have a certain ambition.

However, Cao Kun did not rest on his laurels.

Although the market demand for antibiotics is huge, with the passage of time and the progress of science and technology, antibiotics are becoming more and more common and even widespread, and it is necessary to develop new drugs and create new profit growth points.

"Actually, I have a bigger dream!" Cao Kun suddenly said: "I want to develop a drug that can benefit all human men!"

"Four-seven-three" benefits all human males?" Julien looked at Cao Kun in surprise: "What kind of medicine is that?"

Cao Kun smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when the time comes!"

"Viagra ......" After Julien left, Cao Kun muttered the name of the drug that caused a sensation around the world.

Since Pfizer launched the drug in 1998, its influence has shocked Cao Kun.

It is not only popular in the Asia-Pacific region under the name of Viagra, but also has triggered a huge market demand worldwide.

Dignitaries, celebrities, and even ordinary people seem to be captivated by the magical power of this drug.

Cao Kun clearly remembers that when Viagra first came out, those overwhelming advertisements and media reports.

Every second, four people choose to take the drug, and the huge profits it brings to Pfizer are even more staggering.

It is said that in the 30 years since the birth of this drug, the value created for Pfizer is 150 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 1,000 billion yuan of our currency!

Such a big cash cow, a big cornucopia, how could he let it go?

Although Cao Kun didn't need the drug himself, he keenly smelled the business opportunities contained in it.

There are so many middle-aged and elderly people all over the world, they need not only a medicine, but also a passion for life and a desire for self-confidence.

This is an immeasurably large market, and he, Cao Kun, is determined to seize this big market.

When the pharmaceutical company was on the right track, Cao Kun's ambitions did not stop.

He knows that in order to stand out in the highly competitive pharmaceutical market, he must have his own unique fist products.

Therefore, he decisively brought in top medical scientists from the United States and spared no expense to establish a research institute on Hong Kong Island.

The institute had only one mission, and that was to research and develop their own Viagra.

In the institute, the atmosphere was tense and orderly.

Dressed in lab coats and glasses, the scientists were busy intently in front of the test bench.

The key to success lies in the extraction of that key ingredient.

As long as they can successfully extract this ingredient, they can open the door to success.

Cao Kun also often comes to the institute in person to check the progress of research.

He always wears a simple shirt and looks smart and spirited.

Every time he walked into the lab, the scientists would stop what they were doing and update him on the latest progress.

"Mr. Cao, we have tried many methods, but we have not succeeded in extracting the key ingredients yet!"

One scientist said with some frustration.

Cao Kun nodded slightly and encouraged: "Don't be discouraged, scientific research is inherently challenging.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a breakthrough!"

Another scientist picked up the conversation: "We are trying a new extraction method, and we hope to make a breakthrough!"

Cao Kun's eyes lit up, and he asked with interest: "Oh, what is the new method?"

Scientists, word by word, introduce their new scheme.

Cao Kun listened carefully and nodded in agreement from time to time.

These scientists are the elite of the industry, and their ideas and creativity are invaluable.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the institute became more and more tense and anticipating.

Everyone understands that they are involved in more than just a drug development, but a revolution in business.

And Cao Kun, as the leader of this revolution, is more ambitious and determined than anyone else.

Finally, on a sunny morning, the exciting news came from the institute: "The key ingredient has been successfully extracted!"

Scientists cheered and hugged each other in celebration.

Cao Kun also showed a rare smile on his face.

He walked into the laboratory and looked at the glittering test tubes and instruments, filled with pride and satisfaction.

"Great! This is our victory!"

Cao Kun said excitedly: "I would like to thank every scientist and staff member who has worked hard for this.

You guys are the best!"

Scientists congratulated and thanked them.

The success of this moment is inseparable from Cao Kun's support and encouragement.

And Cao Kun also knows that this is only their first step towards glory.

There is still a longer way to go, but they have already taken the most solid step.

From that day on, the atmosphere inside the institute became more lively and lively.

Scientists continue to work around the clock in the hope of further refining the formulation and production process of the drug.

Cao Kun also continued to pay attention to the progress of research and gave the greatest support and encouragement to scientists.

Together, they look forward to the early release of their own Viagra to bring health and happiness to more people.

There is still a long way to go, and the competition in the market is still fierce.

But Cao Kun is confident that his drug will change the lives of countless people, and will also lead his pharmaceutical company to a more brilliant future.

......

In Cao Kun's office, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

Julien stood in front of the window, her hands clasped, her eyes full of worry and puzzlement.

She couldn't understand why Ms. Cao insisted on developing the drug, which was so controversial in the mainland.

"Cao Kun, are you really going to do this?"

Julien's voice trembled a little: "Do you know how much turmoil this drug will cause in the mainland? This is a serious moral hazard!"

Cao Kun sat behind his desk, his face filled with an indescribable firmness.

"Julien, listen to me!"

His voice was deep and powerful: "We are not making this drug for sale in the mainland, but to turn to the European and American markets.

This is a huge business opportunity that we can use to earn a huge amount of foreign exchange for the country!"

Zhu Lin's brow furrowed, she knew Cao Kun's ambitions, but she also knew the possible consequences of the drug in the mainland.

However, Cao Kun's next sentence made her a little shaken.

"And do you think those partners in the mainland will really oppose it?"

Cao Kun sneered: "They are just talking, and they have already asked people to come to Hong Kong Island to buy them in private."

They actually want to see this drug sold in the mainland more than we do, and middle-aged and elderly people like them need it the most!"

Julien was silent for a moment, she knew that what Cao Kun said was the truth.

The market potential in the mainland is huge, and once this drug is sold in the mainland, it will inevitably set off a moral storm.

However, she also knew the possible consequences of this storm, after all, this was an era when hooliganism could shoot people casually.

"But, Cao Kun, have you ever thought about the ordinary people in the mainland?"

Julien sighed: "Their monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan, how can they afford this drug?"

Cao Kun: "It's just to avoid moral hazard in the mainland, so we started with a price of $100.

In this way, except for those high-ranking officials and nobles, the common people below will not be able to buy it at all, and it will also avoid causing a strong moral storm!"

Cao Kun said slowly: "This price is mainly for the European and American markets, and with the reduction of mass production and cost, the selling price will gradually decrease to 10 US dollars.

But even so, we can still make a lot of money!"

When the news came out that Cao Kun's drug was successfully developed and put on the market, the middle-aged and elderly male group of the entire Ou Ilijian family was boiling.

This is known as the "miracle medicine"

The product seems to have become their hope to regain their youthful vitality.

After strict approval from the Drug Administration of the United States of America, the drug was finally approved for marketing.

As soon as the news was announced, major media outlets reported that there was a long queue in front of the pharmacy, and people rushed to buy it, hoping to become the first to experience it.

In the circle of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, this drug has become a hot topic.

A high-ranking official whispered to his friends at a private party: "Have you heard about it? The drug developed by Cao Kun is said to have amazing results.

I found a lot of connections to get it!"

His friend immediately approached curiously: "Really? Tell me about it, how does it work?"

The official smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, all I can say is that it has brought me back to the feeling I had when I was younger."

You get the idea!"

And among the middle class, the drug has also caused a huge response.

When a middle-aged man was queuing up in front of the pharmacy, he couldn't help but chat with the person next to him: "Do you think this medicine is really that magical?

The person next to him nodded: "Yes, I also heard about 0 .......

It's a lot of money, but if I can regain my lost self-confidence, I think it's worth the extra money!"

In pharmacies, pharmacists are busy picking up medicines for customers and answering their questions.

A pharmacist patiently explained to an elderly man: "The main ingredient of this drug is natural extracts, which have been proven to have significant effects on improving male function through rigorous clinical trials.

But please note that the effect will vary depending on each person's physique!"

After hearing this, the old man nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I understand."

Thank you for your answer!"

With the popularity of this drug, Cao Kun's name gradually spread all over the European and American families.

His drugs have not only helped countless middle-aged and elderly men regain their self-confidence, but also brought him great wealth and fame.

And those who have gradually lost their male masculinity because of age also regard Cao Kun as a life-saving benefactor.

In the process of promoting the drug, Cao Kun also deliberately held a grand press conference.

Standing on the stage, he confidently introduced the development process and efficacy of this drug to the audience.

The audience listened with relish, and from time to time burst into warm applause and cheers.

After the press conference, a middle-aged man squeezed forward and excitedly shook Cao Kun's hand: "Mr. Cao, thank you so much! This drug has brought me back to the feeling I had when I was young, and my wife and I are very grateful to you!"

Cao Kun smiled and nodded: "No thanks, I am also very pleased to be able to help you!"

In this way, Cao Kun's medicine set off a craze in Europe and the United States.

Not only has it improved the quality of life for many middle-aged and older men, but it has also allowed them to regain their self-confidence and dignity.

And Cao Kun himself has become a legend in the medical industry.

Cao Kun watched the sales figures continue to climb, and his heart was full of satisfaction and pride.

However, he knows that for this drug to truly become a cash cow, it is not enough to rely on hot sales.

He must form a monopoly like Pfizer in the past to ensure long-term profits.

He needed a PR team that could navigate both the political and business worlds.

As a result, he began to actively recruit elite people who could speak well and were well versed in lobbying.

In the United States, Cao's team first visited a senior member of Congress who has extensive influence in Congress.

The MP is known for his authority on health issues and his deep understanding of drug regulatory policy.

On a sunny afternoon, they walked into the councillor's office in Washington, D.C.

The lawmaker's office is solemnly furnished and warm, with photographs of him with previous presidents and of him while participating in important bills in Congress.

Cao Kun's public relations team showed great importance to the meeting with carefully prepared materials and gifts.

"Hello, Mr. Councillor, on behalf of the pharmaceutical companies on Hong Kong Island, it is a great honor to meet you!"

The head of Cao Kun's public relations team was the first to speak, and his tone revealed humility and respect.

4.2 Members smiled and nodded in welcome.

"Sit down, I'm glad to hear from Hong Kong Island.

Do you have any specific agenda for your visit?"

"Mr. Councillor, our pharmaceutical company has recently developed an innovative drug that has a significant effect on the health problems of middle-aged and elderly men.

We believe that this drug has great market potential.

However, we are also aware of the fierce competition in the pharmaceutical industry.

Therefore, we hope to be able to get your support to help us gain a foothold in the market!"

The head of the PR team said sincerely.

The councillor gently flipped through the materials provided by Cao Kun's team, nodding from time to time.

"I understand your needs.

Indeed, the launch of new drugs needs to be recognized by the market, and policy support is also needed.

So, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"Mr. Congressman, we hope that through your influence, this drug will form a de facto monopoly in the American market.

Of course, we will also give back accordingly.

We promise that after you retire, you can work as a senior consultant in our pharmaceutical company or related enterprises, and your family will also receive special care from us!"

The PR team leader stated the real purpose of their trip.

The councillor was silent for a moment, apparently weighing the pros and cons: "Your proposal is attractive.

However, you must understand that I cannot directly intervene in the competition in the market.

All I can do is to provide you with some policy support and guidance for your kind words on the right occasion!"

Although the congressman was very conservative, he still did his best to help Cao Kun's Kunlun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. produce Viagra and achieve a monopoly on the field of such drugs in the United States.

In the future, Cao Kun will make tens of billions of dollars in profits from American men because of this medicine, which is equivalent to hundreds of billions of yuan for us.......
