"There's no need to tell her about this. Tian Sheng Group has enough on its plate right now, I should be the one to help!" Jiang Yi said.
"Alright!"
Shen Lu shrugged and said, "You haven't been to the company in a long time. Many changes have occurred here recently, and you're not very familiar with most of it."
"The Chairman asked you to come out of the company with me. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me, and I'll explain it to you."
"So, what are we supposed to do today?" Jiang Yi asked.
"We're going to discuss a collaboration project!"
Shen Lu said, "The other party is a major company from Mei Country. This project involves an investment of over ten billion, making it our biggest undertaking yet. If this project is successfully negotiated, our company will not only earn substantial profits but also gain an entry into the business world of Mei Country."
"This is our company's first step into the international business arena. The project is crucial for us, and there can be no room for error."
"What's the success rate of negotiating this project?" Jiang Yi inquired.
"There's almost no chance of success. I only have less than a twenty percent chance," Shen Lu replied.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi felt a bit speechless.
"If the probability of success is so low, there's no point in wasting time! We shouldn't expend our energy on such a meaningless endeavor," Jiang Yi stated.
"The Chairman insisted on this negotiation!"
Shen Lu explained, "The Chairman said that even if there's only a sliver of a chance, we shouldn't miss it. Many things are unpredictable. What if we succeed?"
"That does make some sense!" Jiang Yi chuckled slightly.
"The Chairman is highly experienced and possesses wisdom in managing the company that we can't even imagine. Every word she speaks is well-reasoned," Shen Lu commented.
"I didn't expect you to learn flattery too!"
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm not flattering. I'm speaking the truth,"
Shen Lu said, "None of us can match the Chairman's capabilities. Things that were initially impossible, she resolved with ease!"
Jiang Yi took a deep breath upon hearing this.
As her son, he actually understood his mother less than Shen Lu did.
"Here is all the information about Edison Company from Mei Country, along with their representative, Clark, and the detailed project proposal. Take a look first. In two hours, we'll meet Mr. Clark at the Royal Hotel to discuss this project."
Shen Lu handed a stack of documents to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi picked up the documents and began to study them carefully.
It was a project focused on developing a new type of drug.
Edison Company had spent a full ten years on the research for this new drug, investing significant resources and effort, yet they had made no progress.
In recent years, China had experienced rapid development in the pharmaceutical industry, with its drug research flourishing.
Edison Company then decided to collaborate with some large enterprises in China, hoping to bring this drug to fruition.
Jiang Yi spent two full hours reviewing the materials, gaining a general understanding of the situation.
"Hoo!"
Jiang Yi let out a long breath.
"Did you discover any issues?" Shen Lu asked.
"I haven't found any problems with these documents or the project's content. The problem lies with Edison Company," Jiang Yi said with a frown.
Seeing Jiang Yi's expression, Shen Lu couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is the problem with Edison Company?"
"Business requires integrity, but as far as I know, Edison Company lacks it entirely. This company frequently breaks contracts for the sake of profit,"
Jiang Yi explained, "Edison Company is the most powerful entity in the pharmaceutical industry in Mei Country, and even globally. They have dominated the industry for a century, but their conduct is quite despicable."
"As soon as a company in the same industry grows rapidly and shows signs of surpassing Edison Company, Edison Company will resort to all sorts of embarrassing and shameless tactics, employing any means necessary to suppress them. Many companies have fallen victim to Edison Company."
"Furthermore, whenever Edison Company faces internal issues, they exploit smaller companies through various schemes, harvesting them like leeks from their competitors..."
Jiang Yi exposed Edison Company's entire history in one go.
The reason Jiang Yi knew so much was his profound understanding of this company!
The pharmaceutical company founded by his master years ago had been ruined by this very company.
"In that case, do we still want to cooperate?" Shen Lu asked, her brow furrowed.
"Of course, we must cooperate!"
Jiang Yi grinned, "There's nothing to fear from Edison Company. If they like playing dirty, we'll play along to the end. We're not to be trifled with either."
"If Edison Company resorts to dirty tactics, we'll deal with them in the same manner!"
Shen Lu nodded.
If Edison Company engaged in honest negotiations, she wouldn't hold anything against them.
Otherwise, she would have to avenge her master's grievance.
"I think we should inform the Chairman about this matter!"
Shen Lu suggested, "This matter is of great importance, and we must proceed with caution."
Shen Lu could see a flash of anger in Jiang Yi's eyes.
Engaging in business should not be driven by emotion; it's a major taboo.
"Alright, I'll go prepare something. This way, we'll have a trump card when we discuss the project later," Jiang Yi said.
Shen Lu nodded and left the office.
After Shen Lu departed, Jiang Yi went to the company's pharmaceutical research and development lab.
Jiang Yi began his research based on the information related to the new drug.
Developing this new drug was not a difficult task for Jiang Yi at all.
Edison Company had spent ten years without success, while Jiang Yi only needed a few hours.
The reason Jiang Yi possessed this ability, apart from his astonishing medical skills, was a crucial factor: Edison Company's research for the new drug was based on Western medicine, while Jiang Yi's research was founded on Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine each have their strengths and weaknesses, but these weaknesses can complement each other.
Furthermore, Chinese medicine, with its thousands of years of inheritance, is profound and extensive.
From a certain perspective, Western medicine falls far short of Chinese medicine, lacking such a rich foundation.
Two hours later, Jiang Yi finally produced a pill.
The pill had a poor appearance, resembling a mud ball, dark and uneven on the surface.
To be more precise, it looked more like goat droppings.
Jiang Yi chuckled and then placed it in a bottle.
When Jiang Yi returned to the office, Shen Lu had been waiting for a considerable time.
"What did my mother say?" Jiang Yi asked.
"The Chairman said it's fine. If Edison Company has its tactics, so do we. There's nothing to be afraid of," Shen Lu replied.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
