Lan Yuyi seemed to be intimidated by her aura, and instinctively shrank back towards Madam Lu in fear.
Madam Lu instantly shielded her, “Qiao Yin, lower your voice. There’s no need to be so fierce. What if you scare Yuyi and the child? Your family’s company has gone bankrupt, but it’s not totally worthless. Wasn’t there a successful lumbar relief pill you sold before? Sell the formula to Lan’s Hospital!”
Qiao Yin looked coldly at Lan Yuyi, it seemed that they were targeting the medicine formula.
The Qiao Family’s company was a pharmaceutical one, and the only thing keeping it afloat until now was solely this formula.
The lumbar relief pill had a low cost but offered good profit. Plus, it was quite effective. It had always been popular among patients suffering from lower back pain. However, the rest of the medicines produced by the company either had negligible effects or were too expensive for an average patient.
The reason the Qiao Family filed for bankruptcy was because Qiao Haidong arbitrarily raised the price of their medicines. The Lumbar relief pill was originally sold for 40 per box, but he saw the good sales and directly raised the price to 200 per box. He even spent big money hiring celebrities for endorsements.
He continued to raise the prices of other medicines as well, refusing to listen to reason.
A company that was just barely maintaining profit, plunged into bankruptcy almost overnight because of the sudden drop in sales of the lumbar relief pill, it caused an immediate break in the company’s financial chain.
And now, did he actually want to sell the formula for the lumbar relief pill to Lan Yuyi?!
Qiao Yin promptly refused, “The formula for the Lumbar relief pill is our family’s exclusive secret, we won’t sell it.”
Qiao Haidong became frantic, “Why not? Sell it! The company’s bankrupt now, what use is retaining the secret formula? We should sell it off quickly to pay off our debts.”
Qiao Yin’s face turned pale with anger, “Dad, this secret formula was developed by my mom after exhausting countless efforts, it belongs to her, not you! You don’t have the right to sell it!”
“What’s yours or hers, she married me; everything including her, all belongs to me. Of course, that includes the secret formula too. I call the shots in this matter. You better leave and stop making trouble here!”
Qiao Qiao Yin sneered, “You’re really out of line here. Before my mom’s last breath, she transferred the patent ownership to me. I say I won’t sell, then it can’t be sold!”
Lan Yuyi listened on the side and quietly tugged at Madam Lu’s clothes.
Madam Lu subtly nodded at her.
They had already done their research, knowing that the patent rights were actually in Qiao Yin’s hands. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have invited her over today.
Madam Lu confidently said, “There isn’t anything in this world that the Lu Family cannot afford. Plus, it’s not like this pill is some precious item. There are tons of substitutes in the market, Qiao Yin. You don’t have to be so protective. If you miss this opportunity, you might not be able to sell it in the future.”
“If there are so many substitutes, wouldn’t it be fine for Miss Lan to buy someone else’s formula? We are not selling ours.”
But Lan Yuyi softly rebutted, “Miss Qiao, our hospital isn’t really in lack of good medication formulas. Don’t keep viewing my intentions suspiciously, I genuinely want to help you. You give an unused formula to me, I give you money, isn’t it a win-win?”
“I’ll say it again, this was my mother’s life’s work, it’s one of the most valuable things she left for me, I will absolutely not sell it, you do not need to bring it up again.”
After that, Qiao Yin promptly took Qiao Haidong’s arm and led him out, “If you dare to sell my mother’s formula, I’m disowning you.. You will have to pay off the debt yourself, do as you please!”
