"Alright, then it's decided. Eddie, you also have to contribute to the compensation for the Western Federation; this is your responsibility," Anruka reminded him.
"Get lost! I'll pay for the anti-bioweapon unit, but I won't share the blame for the mess you made. Don't take me for a fool. I warn you again, don't try any tricks, or no matter how powerful you are, I'll take you down!" Eddie snorted, his tone harsh and uncompromising.
Anruka nearly ground his teeth to dust. This bastard was causing trouble again!
"Hmph, the next resolution: re-divide the market share left by Umbrella. Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Africa belong to Tricell. The markets in Asia and Russia belong to Shén Yà Pharmaceutical. Latin America and Australia belong to Glory Pharmaceutical. Do you have any problems with this?" Anruka looked around at everyone.
"No objections," Ye Minzhi said, looking indifferently at the documents. She wasn't concerned about market share, as Shén Yà Pharmaceutical's main focus was already Asia.
"Wait, what about our WP Corporation? What about our market share?" Frederick had to raise an objection.
"Don't you want the T-Virus vaccine market? We'll give it all to you. The price is that you can't take the lion's share of the other pies; you can only drink the soup," Anruka sneered.
"I need to speak with my boss about this," Frederick said, picking up his phone and making a call. He nodded occasionally, then hung up, "Our boss agreed."
"With the market share divided, it's now free time. Those who wish to cooperate can make their proposals," Anruka felt very satisfied. He finally got to show off once, and it felt good.
"The original prices remain unchanged. I will give you the sales rights for physical stores, and online prices will remain stable. As for how you operate offline, that's your business. Anyone interested in making a fortune?" Eddie threw out the bait first.
"No problem, we can discuss the details later," Ye Minzhi nodded. Representing Shén Yà Pharmaceutical, securing a business deal would be a good achievement.
"Counterfeit drugs in South India are rampant, you've heard about it, right?" Eddie said thoughtfully.
"Are you worried they'll counterfeit your drugs?" A trace of a smile flashed in Ye Minzhi's beautiful eyes. He was probably planning to use this as an excuse!
"No, I'm not worried at all. In fact, I wish they would counterfeit them. Prepare to advertise widely, report on the deaths caused by their counterfeit products, and urge everyone to buy genuine ones. Eliminating piracy is very beneficial to us. As for whether those guys are your subordinates or not, don't block my path, or I'll hire people to take them out," Eddie said, lowering his head, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
"Of course, our WP Corporation will fully assist you," Frederick pledged his loyalty. He had been punished by Eddie before and had a psychological shadow.
Chapter 296: Excella's Secret Move
Anruka was also incredibly annoyed. He should have been the protagonist of this meeting, but what happened? He was led by the nose the whole time, which made him very unhappy, extremely unhappy.
Watching Eddie and the others leave, Anruka was furious to the point of explosion, but after some thought, he decided not to act out.
Just then, a middle-aged white man wearing glasses walked in. "Young Master, you called for me?" He was the strategist responsible for assisting the Travis Family heir, a talent specifically cultivated by the Travis Family.
Knowing the importance of pure bloodlines and the genetic risks of bloodlines, the Travis Family had begun to develop artificial infant screening, but it had not yet succeeded.
And the cultivation of talents had been put on the agenda a long time ago. It didn't matter if one's own IQ wasn't high; having highly intelligent talents to help solve problems was the same.
"Hmm, Nelson, that Eddie makes me very uncomfortable. I want to get rid of him. Do you have a way? It needs to be done discreetly, and he needs to die a miserable death, preferably with his family ruined!" Anruka's tone was filled with immense venom. A man so petty, was he an abnormal eunuch?
Nelson was silent for a moment. "I wonder if Young Master intends to preserve the family business or expand it?"
He didn't answer directly but instead asked a strange question. What did that mean?
Anruka snorted, "Of course, I want to expand the family business. I will become the wisest family head, and everyone will adore me. I need your help. Every king has a capable minister to assist him. I need your help, Nelson. We will build a glorious future together, and you will also receive titles and wealth."
"Thank you, Young Master. I previously looked into this Eddie Cai. I don't believe he will be our enemy; on the contrary, he will be our ally, especially when confronting the remnants of Umbrella. He still has great value," Nelson explained.
"You want me to be allies with him?" Anruka was a little disbelieving. He didn't shout but instead pondered in silence. As his most trusted personal strategist, Nelson was the one who helped him stand out from many competitors. He had to consider his advice.
"That's right, be allies. We can even give him some benefits. There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in the world. If he is beneficial to us, then he is a friend. By utilizing him, we can quickly occupy the market left by Umbrella, and we can also claim some laboratories for ourselves."
"Regarding drug research and development, Excella told me that Mr. Eddie seems to be very talented. And Young Master previously tried to have the engineering department replicate the drugs. The experimental results showed that the replicated drugs all caused death instead of inhibition. If he is a person, even if he cannot be used for our own purposes, he is still an excellent ally," Nelson surprisingly spoke favorably of Eddie.
Anruka poured a glass of red wine for his strategist and said with a laugh, "Nelson, this isn't like you. Did you take money? Speaking so highly of him."
Nelson shook his head and said in a very serious tone, "No, this is a very serious matter. Since Young Master asked me, I must answer you. Eddie is not wrong; Young Master is not in a position to relax yet. In the family, many people are waiting for Young Master to make a mistake. Before becoming the family head, you cannot let your guard down."
"I know, isn't that why I have your help? I know what to do. Do you even think I'm that foolish? Haha, I'm not what you see," Anruka sneered, picking up the red wine and downing it.
To be an heir, he wasn't as boisterous as he appeared on the surface. Anruka had his own way of thinking. He was deliberately doing this. Later, he would go and apologize to Eddie.
Doing this was just to let others know that he and Eddie were at odds. Those competitors would then jump out, seek allies, and even try to kick him out of the heir position.
That was impossible. Anruka would secretly ally with Eddie and crush those little brats who dared to covet the position of family head heir, one by one.
Now that the act was over, he had to find a way to mend his relationship with Eddie.
"Nelson, do you have any ideas? I'm going to find Eddie and secretly ally with him. The show is done; now I just wait for the fish to bite," Anruka said, holding the wine glass, a hint of mockery in his tone.
Nelson pondered for a moment. "Yes, Young Master can suggest to the Grand Madam to marry Excella off to Eddie. You are the suggester, so both Miss Excella and Mr. Eddie will owe you a favor."
Anruka's expression showed some regret. "It's a shame to give away such a beauty, such a stunner. I'm really a bit unwilling."
"Unwillingness is useless; you can't have her anyway," Nelson also joked humorously.
"Pushing that genius Excella out of the core circle, even if she wants to compete, she won't be able to pass the identity hurdle. Very good, very good. And it allows me to ally with that annoying bastard, killing two birds with one stone. Really good, very good. I will explain all this to the Grand Madam. Now, let's toast," Anruka said, raising his glass.
Nelson sneered; his mission was complete. He had always been Excella's pawn, utterly subservient to that proud goddess, like a queen.
This was also why Excella was so confident in conquering Eddie, because countless stinky men were captivated by her charm and aura.
And Excella didn't have to pay any price; she just had to do everything well and beautifully. That was enough. She presented herself as a strong woman with both beauty and wisdom.
Excella's calculations were excellent. Instead of being without a name or status, why not marry him openly? She didn't believe she couldn't get on Eddie's surging ocean liner.
Meanwhile, the person being discussed, Eddie, was having dinner with Ye Minzhi from Shén Yà Pharmaceutical, Glory Pharmaceutical, Frederick from WP Corporation, and Senator David.
The discussion revolved around how to use the three inhibitory drugs and their derivative nutritional products as a gimmick to make money, as well as his already nascent e-commerce industry.
Chapter 297: Marriage at the Drop of a Hat
"Dr. Eddie, are you interested in developing a new experimental weapon with us? To eliminate a large number of enemies at the lowest cost," Ye Minzhi of Shén Yà Pharmaceutical asked with a gentle smile.
Hearing this, Eddie raised an eyebrow. Did he encounter a precursor to some event? "Oh? I'm not interested, but if you encounter any difficulties, you can consult me. There will be a fee."
"Dr. Eddie certainly knows how to joke," Ye Minzhi's expression was calm, clearly confident in her company. If her loyalty wasn't sufficient, she wouldn't have attended this meeting.
"I'll have my agent discuss the specific plan with you. As long as it makes money, anything is negotiable. But you can count me out for bioweapons; I'm not interested," Eddie said calmly.
After lunch, Eddie finally managed to promote his drugs. With online and offline efforts combined, who could resist?
Eddie hummed a tune, feeling good. Meanwhile, Jill contacted her old comrade Kenneth. This retired uncle, who had returned to Africa, helped Eddie's company acquire a large amount of land resources at a very low cost.
Someone willing to invest in Africa was a good thing.
A gentle middle-aged man waited at the restaurant entrance for a while. Upon seeing his target arrive, he immediately stepped forward. "Hello, Mr. Eddie, I am Nelson of the Travis Family, representing Young Master Anruka to invite Dr. Eddie for afternoon tea."
"Did you get the wrong person? You should find a beautiful woman to accompany him, not a handsome guy like me," Eddie said dismissively.
"Dr. said jokingly. Young Master is indeed looking for the Doctor. The Doctor's talent is second to none in the global medical field. I believe that if the Doctor and Young Master cooperate, they can achieve even more. Young Master wishes to treat the Doctor to a meal to alleviate previous misunderstandings and unpleasantness. I wonder if the Doctor is willing to give the Travis Family heir face?" Nelson began to make his intentions clear.
