Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 212 - : It’s Hard for Qi’s Pharmaceuticals Not to Thrive

Chapter 212: Chapter 212: It’s Hard for Qi’s Pharmaceuticals Not to Thrive

The following events unfolded more smoothly.

Qi Yue soon cleared up the matter concerning the new pharmaceutical factory.

As she had guessed, the whole affair was quite complex.

Initially, the Ma Family learned of Shen Zikuang’s intent to produce medicine and saw it as an opportunity to get involved, but lacking the capability, they sought help from Murong Mingyue, describing the promising future of the pharmaceutical business to him.

Murong Mingyue appeared humble and courteous on the surface, highly respected, but in reality, like most local officials, he aspired to the highest position and power.

Ma Renfeng, being cunning and shrewd, naturally understood this. Indeed, after a few discussions with Murong Mingyue, the two decided to forcefully intervene in Dongjiang’s pharmaceutical production.

It just so happened that there was a fierce internal strife within the Shen Family, and Shen Zikuang, feeling unable to stay in the Shen Family, saw this as an opportunity to become independent.

Simultaneously, Shen Wanzhen also wanted to drive away Shen Zikuang, letting the younger brother, Shen Zifang, reap the benefits of the pharmaceutical factory.

All these reasons brought the three parties together, forming a delicate balance, yet each had their own agendas.

Shen Wanzhen and his son wanted to control the distribution channels and the formula for the medicine, while the Ma Family also wanted a bigger piece of the pie, leading to the production of counterfeit drugs. Murong Mingyue wanted to use this occasion to enter the business circle of Dongjiang through cooperation with the Shen and Ma Families.

The reason Shen Wanzhen offered the pharmaceutical factory at a discounted compensation that day was also because they could not obtain the formula and had reached a deeper cooperation with the Ma Family.

Soon, both the Shen and Ma Family’s pharmacies introduced various pharmaceuticals such as injury pills, diarrhea pills, and cough mixtures.

The fault lay in the fact that Qi Yue’s new pharmacy had not yet officially opened, while these counterfeit drugs were marketed earlier than hers.

They timed it well and leveraged the craze of Shen Zikuang’s recovery. Many commoners naturally assumed it was the Divine Doctor’s formula, and quite a few were sold in no time.

But in this situation, Qi Yue had no way of taking action against them.

After all, the Ma Family never openly claimed it was the Divine Doctor’s formula; they were merely selling the medicine, at most it could be considered misleading.

Moreover, the Shen Family’s pharmacy had previously sold pharmaceuticals made from Qi Yue’s formulas. Now that the same drugs were back on the shelves, the commoners rightfully assumed it was the same as before.

That day, just as Qi Yue arrived at the pharmaceutical factory, Shen Zikuang anxiously approached her.

“Miss Qi, there’s been an incident. This morning, some commoners came saying that after taking our medicine for diarrhea, not only did it not get better, but it actually worsened.”

Qi Yue frowned.

The incident she had worried about finally happened.

Clearly, the medicine bought by the commoners was not her formula.

Since last time, the medication from the factory’s warehouse had not been distributed; it could be said that currently, there were still no pharmaceuticals from Qi Yue on the Dongjiang market.

“How did you handle it?”

“I’ve already had our factory doctor look at them, and I told them that our products have not yet been marketed, asking them not to trust the other medications out there.”

“Good,” Qi Yue pondered for a moment and issued several orders.

“From now on, I want you to spread the following three pieces of news to let more people know. First, in the name of the factory, denounce what the Ma Family has done to the public, and promise that all those who have purchased the counterfeit drugs can come to us for free treatment!”

“Second, publicize our pharmaceutical factory and new pharmacy locations so that the commoners are aware.”

“Third, four days from now, is the opening day of Qi’s Pharmacy, and I will provide free consultations and medicine for three days.”

Shen Zikuang was astonished by Qi Yue’s generosity, “Free medicine? Three days could require a considerable amount of silver tael.”

“No worries, didn’t we take three million from the Shen Family? Taking one million out is enough.”

That batch of silver was obtained effortlessly, and using it for the commoners now was the best use, also helping to completely open up the pharmaceutical market.

After thinking it over, Qi Yue gave another instruction, “In the next few days, we need to accelerate the medicine production. The free medication provided during the consultations must be from our production.”

“Yes!”

Shen Zikuang excitedly agreed.

Without thinking, he could already foresee the popularity on the day the pharmacy opened. With these three moves, it would be hard for Qi Yue Pharmaceutical not to thrive.

Shen Zikuang went to make arrangements with full confidence.

His leg had healed nicely by now, but walking too much was not good for him, so Qi Yue had him stay in a wheelchair, waiting for the day the pharmacy opened to stand up and surprise the public!

Meanwhile, Qi Yue went to look for He Zhijing to discuss standardizing the pharmaceutical market.

The finished drug market was a big pie, and she understood the Ma Family’s, Shen Family’s, and Murong Mingyue behind them wanted a piece, but if it came at her expense, there would be a serious talk.

It wasn’t clear whether He Zhijing really understood the necessity of standardizing the market she was talking about, or if it was because she was entrusted by Zhao Xiyan.

In any case, Zhao Zhijing almost completely obeyed her, and her Pharmaceutical Standards Guide was issued the same day to various pharmacies and drug merchants.

In this standard, two points were very important.

First, all marketed finished drugs must have a uniform and exclusive product logo. Second, every product logo represents a large-scale, pharma-capable factory.

Instantly, the entire Dongjiang medical industry was shaken as if by an earthquake.

The Ministry of Commerce’s government officers raided the Ma Family and Shen Family pharmacies for a large amount of non-compliant drugs, and both pharmacies were ordered to close for rectification.

The Ma Family’s underground factory at the foot of South Mountain was also forced to surface, undergoing inspection by the public and the Ministry of Commerce.

Naturally, the inspection result was non-compliant, and the Ma Family’s factory was forcibly shut down.

When the public learned that they had bought counterfeit drugs from the Ma Family, they were all furious!

They surged onto the streets excitedly, demanding an explanation from the Shen Family and the Ma Family.

Although both the Shen Family and Ma Family pharmacies were closed, the angry public still smashed their storefronts, scattering the medicinal materials inside everywhere.

Later, it was Murong Mingyue who dispatched soldiers that finally calmed the situation.

However, many people who had bought the medicine and then suffered stomach issues were still chasing after members of the Ma Family in the streets, scaring Ma Renfeng to the point he dared not leave his house.

The Shen Family was not much better off.

Shen Ziao became neither manly nor womanly, hiding in the house tormenting the servants. Eventually, the escaped servants reported this to the Governor’s Office, once again causing widespread infamy.

Shen Wanzhen, being in cahoots with the Ma Family, was once again cursed by the people of Dongjiang.

That actually played right into Shen Zifang’s hands.

He cleverly shifted all blame onto his biological father, Shen Wanzhen, and naturally announced that he was taking over as the head of the Shen Family.

The first thing Shen Zifang did after taking charge was to announce a split with the Ma Family and declared that he would seek justice for Ma Renfeng’s deliberate hurting of Shen Ziao.

That very day, Shen Zifang delivered a legal document to the Governor’s Office, requesting that Murong Mingyue punish Ma Renfeng, the murderer.

The alliance among the Shen Family, Ma Family, and Murong Family disintegrated instantly.

The original intention of Shen Wanzhen, Ma Renfeng, and Murong Mingyue was to monopolize the Dongjiang pharmaceutical industry, but then Qi Yue, an unpredictable player, appeared, followed by the intervention of He Zhijing from the Ministry of Commerce, and there was no way to salvage the situation.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zifang also made a defection.

One excitement followed another.

In just a few short days, the people of Dongjiang had several big scandals to digest.

Qi Yue also relished in it.

However, she had not anticipated that this scandal would soon fall upon her own head.
