My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 416 416: Underhanded Tactics That Cannot Be Made Public

"Everyone welcomes sincere cooperation, but the Hanfang Association is pulling Qifei Group into a medical association led by you. You should be very clear about your purpose. If we hadn't developed a new drug for leukemia, would you be acting like this? You see nothing but a business opportunity.

"Ultimately, you just want to possess our technological patent. That's impossible. No amount of money will make it happen," Ye Fei said, shaking his head.

He would never forget their original mission. Yang Qi had said before that they wanted to create the best and cheapest medicine, the kind ordinary people could afford. They liked money too, but they couldn't sacrifice their conscience just to earn it. Ye Fei was simply acting in accordance with the original intentions he shared with Yang Qi. They would not become dependent on any capital. Once they did, they would lose their identity.

"Damn it, Ye Fei, are you insulting my Hanfang Association? It seems you're determined to see this through to the bitter end. In that case, don't blame me! You will definitely pay the price for what you've done today. Qifei Group will be destroyed, just you wait and see!"

Chuyun Fan stood up and shot a cold glance at Ye Fei and the others. "Be careful when you go out from now on. My Chuyun Family doesn't let its people die for nothing."

"Then you can just wait for our boss's retaliation!" Yang Qi sneered.

It was clearly the Hanfang Association that had first tried to steal Qifei Group's technology, only to be caught red-handed by Yang Qi, which resulted in the deaths of Chuyun Baijing and his men. Now this Chuyun Fan had the audacity to play the victim and accuse them first.

"Hmph, let's go!" Chuyun Fan snorted coldly and turned to leave.

No one tried to make him stay. In the office, however, a few people were starting to worry.

"President Ye, the Hanfang Association is not to be trifled with," Li Qingyan reminded him. "I fully support your decision, but the threats and difficulties we now face are likely unprecedented!"

"That's right. We still have no idea what despicable methods the Hanfang Association will use against us," Cao Zhendong added with a sigh.

Even Ye Fei himself knew that the Hanfang Association was a behemoth. It had even used its capital to recruit many lackeys. As a result, many medical institutions in Jingnan Prefecture had become puppets of the Medical Association affiliated with the Hanfang Association, putting the National Medicine Association in a state of crisis. Fortunately, the National Medicine Association was a semi-official organization, so there were no immediate problems. But in the long run, the outcome was uncertain.

"Alright, I'll report this to the big boss. You all just focus on your work. No matter how big the problem is, the big boss and I will handle it. Meeting dismissed!" Ye Fei said with a wave of his hand.

Everyone filed out of the room, leaving only Yang Qi behind in Ye Fei's office.

"By the way, Xiaofei, how is the construction of our factory for producing Western medicine coming along?" Yang Qi asked.

"Everything is progressing smoothly," Ye Fei said excitedly. "What we lack right now is production capacity. Once this new factory is completed, we won't have to worry about that anymore. In the future, Qifei Group will advance with both Western and traditional Chinese medicine. By walking on two legs, so to speak, our development will be more balanced."

"Good," Yang Qi said with a nod. "It's great that things are going well. Remember to let me know if anything comes up. I'll be staying in Kang City for a while, so just give me a call."

The new factory building was already standing; it just needed new equipment to be brought in. Once the equipment was installed and calibrated, production could begin immediately. The whole process was estimated to take about ten days.

After chatting with Ye Fei for a while longer, Yang Qi left. He couldn't afford to neglect his Cultivation. He knew very well that his formidable Combat Power was the only real means he had to protect Qifei Group. Without that powerful foundation, everything else was meaningless.

Meanwhile, after leaving Qifei Group, Chuyun Fan and his entourage immediately convened a meeting with several of Kang City's medical institutions and families. These were all recent recruits to the Medical Association under the Hanfang Association's control. To conquer the Kang City market, the Hanfang Association needed to buy off these local powers.

Upon seeing Chuyun Fan, the group was all nodding and bowing, their faces plastered with fawning smiles. They looked just like a bunch of sycophants.

Chuyun Fan wasted no time on pleasantries and got straight to the point, announcing his intention to deal with Qifei Group.

Everyone's expressions lit up with excitement. The medical institutions hated that Qifei Group controlled over fifty percent of Kang City's medical market and refused to play by their unspoken rules, which had become a major headache. Qifei Group also produced common drugs at lower prices than other companies, which infuriated them. Certain families, long accustomed to exploiting the common people, were now earning significantly less money because of Qifei Group, leaving them extremely frustrated. So, when someone proposed taking on Qifei Group, they were naturally delighted.

Furthermore, they all coveted the distribution rights, or even the technological patents, for Qifei Group's new drugs, both traditional and Western. They desperately wanted a share of the profits. But Qifei Group refused, and they were powerless to do anything about it. With the Hanfang Association stepping forward, they figured they could at least get the leftovers. The Hanfang Association had also promised them that drug prices would be uniformly raised in the future, which would allow them to make a fortune.

One Family Head sighed and said, "Young Master Fan, it's not that we're unwilling to help you. But Qifei Group has very deep pockets these days. Plus, they have experts secretly protecting them. We simply have no way of touching them."

"That's right, Young Master Fan! You control the Medical Association. You could use it to suppress Qifei Group! Just order all the medical institutions in Jingnan Prefecture to take their drugs off the shelves!"

"Exactly! That way, they'll have no business. No matter how good their drugs are, no one will buy them!"

"That won't work!" Chuyun Fan shook his head. "The Medical Association is still in its infancy. In Jingnan Prefecture, the National Medicine Association still holds more influence. Without their approval, we can't suffocate Qifei Group. In the end, it would just be our own members losing money and leaving the Medical Association. So, that method is not an option. This is Dragon Country, not our Kappa Country. Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to call on you all. I could have solved this myself! If you lot are useless, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The crowd gave embarrassed smiles, looking at each other as they contemplated the problem.

Finally, someone proposed an idea. "Young Master Fan, we might not be able to do anything on a large scale, but we could target Qifei Group's Western medicine factory. They've recently brought in a large amount of new equipment to prepare for the production of their new drugs. If we can just shut down their factory, their losses will be colossal. If they can't deliver their orders on time, they'll face huge liquidated damages. More importantly, they'll lose their credibility. The Hanfang Association is full of experts. A task like this should be a piece of cake, right?"

"Such underhanded methods are all you can come up with. They're hardly respectable," Chuyun Fan sneered. "However, for now, let's start by teaching them a small lesson. Let them know the consequences of offending my Hanfang Association! Once this is done, we can take our time with what comes next!"
