Chapter 1181 – House Kang, Shocked

Eastsea, House Kang’s villa!

Looking at Miracle Doctor Guan’s company continuing to meet its absurdly high demand, the Kang’s were at a loss.

“Didn’t I tell you guys to control the ingredient channels on the market? What’s going on here, where is Miracle Doctor Guan’s medicine company getting so many ingredients??” Miracle Doctor Kang said as he looked at the newspaper and tv, throwing his teacup onto the floor as he raged at Guifeng, “Kang Guifeng, tell me! What is the meaning of this? Weren’t you in charge of this?”

“Dad, I really did buy all of the ingredients on the market, even the ones that were lower quality… There shouldn’t be any on the market left!” Guifeng said bitterly. “Unless they’ve already started buying large shipments of it a few years ago. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to find any!

“A few years ago? How is that possible? Do you think they’d make their medicine a few years ago and wait that long to put them on the market? You think that’s possible?” Miracle Doctor Kang raged.

“I don’t, but… It’s the only explanation!” Guifeng said helplessly. “I’ve asked all the suppliers. They don’t have any more ingredients anymore, I even offered high prices, and they still don’t have any, so that means it’s empty…”

“No ingredients? So where the hell does Miracle Doctor Guan get all his ingredients to make so many injury medicines? They have even more than what we have, and with that price, we can’t even make the basic costs!” Miracle Doctor hmphed.

“They might be suffering losses intentionally to beat us…” Guifeng hesitated. “This is a common market strategy; a lot of people use it! They’ll push our products out of the market, and after that, they’ll take over the entire market and raise the price, earning back the profits…”

“Oh? You’re saying that they’re doing it on purpose? They amassed so much stock and sold them at a low price just to fight us?”

“It’s possible…” Guifeng had been thinking as well- it didn’t make sense why they were able to distribute so many units.

“Well… Everyone- what should we do, then?” Miracle Doctor Kang frowned.

“Um, grandpa! I have an idea!” Zhaolong had lost face last time, so he spoke up first.

“Oh? What idea, tell me!” Miracle Doctor Kang looked at his eldest grandson, smiling slightly. He actually still preferred him more- although it seemed that ZHaoming was capable recently, too.

“Well, I think that since Miracle Doctor Guan’s company is suffering losses and underpricing their units, we can still remain the same and not adjust our prices. Instead, we’ll buy large quantities of their injury medicine! ” Zhaolong said. “Since we won’t even make the base cost, we’ll just buy a lot of their products and wait until they can’t sustain it anymore. Then we’ll repackage their medicine and sell it as our own medicine, with our normal price!”

“Hm… That makes sense!” Miracle Doctor Kang nodded, thinking that this was quite doable. But he looked toward Zhaoming, wondering if he had any smart ideas as well. Zhaoming had been rather useful lately. “Zhaoming, what do you think? What should we do?”

“Grandpa, I don’t agree with big brother’s points!” Zhaoming was no general in the first place, and he just got lucky recently, miraculously earning merit. This made him quite confident, and so he jumped against his brother right away!

“Oh? Why so?”; Miracle Doctor Kang asked.

“Well…” Zhaoming frowned- he only said so, there was no ‘why’! But since his grandpa asked, he had to say something. “Grandpa, think about it, you said it before. Miracle Doctor Guan couldn’t have prepared and bought all their ingredients a couple of years ago. If they really did have this miraculous medicine back then, they would’ve put it out already, not wait until now! A few years ago, they would’ve been able to fight head to head with our company, so it isn’t possible that they would wait on until now!”

“Then tell me what you think.” Miracle Doctor nodded, thinking that it made sense.

“Well, I think that this Guan Xuemin might’ve used some cheap ingredients to replace the expensive ingredients? After all, he’s an expert in the medical world, and this very well might be a possibility!” Zhaoming said. “If he used some sort of low-quality ingredients, then, of course, the cost would be lower, and he wouldn’t need to buy all those expensive ingredients…”

“Isn’t that nonsense? Didn’t you already take their recipe already, are you saying the recipe you got wasn’t accurate?” Zhaolong said before anyone else. “Plus, if it were possible to change anything on this recipe, we would’ve done so already! Don’t forget, I’m also a medical student, and these few years, our House Kang’s labs have been researching if we could replace the expensive ingredients with cheap ones!

“Are you on the same level as Guan Xuemin? He’s an expert, and you just graduated! It’s good that you’re confident, brother, but overconfidence becomes arrogance!” Zhaoming said. “Plus, I’m still standing by my opinion. I got the recipe, that’s right, but we can’t be sure that they haven’t altered it before production!

“Alright, stop fighting!” Miracle Doctor Kang was a bit pissed that his two grandsons were fighting at a time like this- how were they supposed to deal with the enemy if they fought?

Zhaoming and Zhaolong shut up at the same time, still heated up.

“Zhaoming’s words have some truth to them, but the possibility isn’t high- after all, you can’t just change the recipe just like that. This was an age-old recipe from ancient times. You don’t just change it!” Miracle Doctor Kang said. “We’ll just follow Zhaolong’s idea and buy a large quantity of Miracle Doctor Guan’s medicine!”

“Thank you, grandpa!” Zhaolong said happily. This meant that Miracle Doctor Kang supported his idea. This meant that he won this round!
