Chapter 1676
Charlie Wade nodded in satisfaction and said to Ichiro Kobayashi, โFrom today, you must cooperate with Liam to readjust all production plans for Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals. Stop all previous production and fully switch to producing Nova Dias. Understand?โ
Ichiro Kobayashi hurriedly replied, โMr. Wade, don't worry. I will definitely cooperate with Mr. Weaver!โ
Liam then said to Charlie Wade, โMr. Wade, Kobayashi Pharmaceuticalsโ production capacity is still very strong. If we fully begin Nova Dias production, the demand for raw materials will be enormous. We need to prepare in advance. Otherwise, insufficient raw materials will severely restrict production capacity.โ
Charlie Wade nodded. โI will handle the raw materials.โ
He thought of Mr. Quinton, the head of the Quinton family in Aurouss Hill. The Quinton familyโs origins were in the medicinal material business, and Mr. Quinton was trustworthy. Charlie Wade planned to entrust him with all raw material and medicinal material procurement.
He immediately called Mr. Quinton. Mr. Quinton was eating when he answered. Seeing Charlie Wadeโs name, he respectfully said, โMaster Wade, why are you calling?โ
Charlie Wade smiled. โMr. Quinton, I have a question for you.โ
Mr. Quinton replied respectfully, โMaster Wade, please ask.โ
Charlie Wade asked, โWhat is your Quinton familyโs annual medicinal material supply?โ
Mr. Quinton considered this. โLast year, we supplied over 200,000 tons of various medicinal materials to more than 30 pharmaceutical companies nationwide.โ
Charlie Wade then asked, โCould you supply one million tons annually?โ
Mr. Quinton exclaimed, โOne million tons?! Master Wade, that's almost the total annual output of botanical medicinal materials in the three eastern provinces. Our national total is over five million tons. The largest medicinal material company in the country produces seven or eight hundred thousand tons annuallyโฆโ
Charlie Wade asked, โDo you have the confidence to supply one million tons a year?โ
Mr. Quinton replied, โMaster Wade, the medicinal materials are in the hands of farmers nationwide. I can procure one million tons. The challenge is finding a buyer for that volume. I'm eager to sell more, but I need a reliable partner.โ
Charlie Wade smiled. โTo be honest, Iโve acquired Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals in Japan. All its production capacity will serve me, and I plan to expand. This year, Iโll need one million tons of medicinal materials. I trust you. If youโre interested, Iโll give you the entire order.โ
Upon hearing this, Mr. Quinton leaped up from his chair, knocking over his bowl and chopsticks in his excitement. โWadeโฆMaster Wadeโฆis that true?!โ
Charlie Wade smiled calmly. โWhen have I ever lied to you?โ
Mr. Quinton was ecstatic. He thought, โIf Master Wade can consume one million tons annually, thatโs five times our current business! The Quinton familyโs strength would skyrocket! My dream of revitalizing the family could easily be realized!โ
He practically viewed Charlie Wade as the Quinton familyโs savior. โMaster Wade! I will never let you down! No matter how many medicinal materials you want, I will get them for youโthe best quality at the lowest price!โ
Chapter 1677
After Mr. Quinton hung up, his daughter, Aurora, eagerly asked, โDad, what did Master Wade say?โ
Still overwhelmed with excitement, Mr. Quinton took a few seconds to recover. โAurora! A tremendous opportunity awaits the Quinton family!โ
Aurora asked, โWhat opportunity?โ
Mr. Quintonโs voice trembled with excitement. โMaster Wade has taken over Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals in Japan and wants the Quinton family to supply him with raw materials. He needs about one million tons annually!โ
Aurora exclaimed, โOne million tons?! We currently supply about 200,000 tons a year, right?โ
โYes,โ Mr. Quinton said excitedly. โMaster Wadeโs request will multiply our familyโs revenue! This is a golden opportunity!โ
Aurora nodded repeatedly, expressing gratitude. โMaster Wade has been so kind to our family. I donโt know how to repay him.โ
Mr. Quinton agreed. โMaster Wade is our familyโs second father. Our future depends entirely on him!โ
He then looked at Aurora and sighed. โAurora, Master Wade has been incredibly generous, always looking out for you. You must reciprocate!โ
He implied he wanted her to pursue a closer relationship with Charlie Wade.
Aurora blushed. โDad, many things are beyond my control. Master Wade has a wife. Although I like him, Iโm not sure I have what it takes.โ
Mr. Quinton nodded. โAurora, you should take the lead on supplying Master Wadeโs pharmaceutical factory with medicinal materials. Your internship starts soon; this is your chance to get close to him!โ
Aurora considered this and nodded. โOkay, Dad.โ
Like Nanako Ito, Aurora was a senior. Her next semester would mainly involve her internship. She studied finance and management at the Aurouss Hill Institute of Finance and Economics, making her an ideal partner for Charlie Wade. The prospect of frequent interaction with him thrilled her.
Chapter 1678
Following Charlie Wade's decisive actions, the remaining Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals executives were compliant. Ichiro Kobayashi cooperated with Paul to complete the share transfer. Ninety percent of Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals' shares were now under Oracle Pharmaceutical.
Because of the importance of the upcoming production, Charlie Wade remained in Tokyo to oversee the conversion of Kobayashi Pharmaceuticalsโ production lines to Nova Dias production, starting with the Tokyo line.
He had Liam inventory Kobayashi Pharmaceuticalsโ medicinal materials, determine what was needed for Nova Dias production based on the Tokyo lineโs capacity, and then send the list to Mr. Quinton for immediate preparation and air shipment to Tokyo. Liam would also handle similar requests for other production lines.
Afterward, Charlie Wade and his party, accompanied by Ichiro Kobayashi, went to the Kobayashi family's luxurious penthouse villa in central Tokyo. Though Cameron Isaac had booked a hotel, Charlie Wade accepted Ichiro Kobayashi's invitation to stay at his home. The villa occupied the entire top floor of an 80-story building and was extraordinarily luxurious, complete with a rooftop terrace, helipad, and infinity pool.
That evening, after bathing and calling his wife, Claire, Charlie Wade stood on the terrace, gazing at Tokyo's vibrant night lights, contemplating Kobayashi Pharmaceuticalsโ importance to his plans. Successful conversion to Nova Dias production would allow for worldwide marketing. He planned to maintain low domestic prices but drastically increase overseas pricesโat least two to three times higher. This would generate significant profit, potentially tens of billions of US dollars annually, and fuel his expansion.
His motivation was not greed but building strength to avenge his parents' deaths and confront the Eastcliff families who were responsible. He aimed to return to Eastcliff as an unstoppable force.
Chapter 1679
Kyoto, hundreds of kilometers from Tokyo, was home to the Ito family's centuries-old mansion, near Nijo Castle. The mansion was surrounded by a moat and equipped with state-of-the-art security. The buildings were traditional Japanese wooden structures, surrounded by ancient trees and stone sculptures.
Nanako Ito, the Ito family's eldest daughter, sat in her wheelchair in the courtyard, awaiting the first snowfall of the year. While the forecast predicted heavy snow, none had fallen.
The Ito family's housekeeper, Watanabe-san, urged her to go inside due to the cold. Nanako insisted on waiting until midnight, wanting to experience the first snowflake.
While waiting, she unexpectedly found herself thinking about Charlie Wade.
Chapter 1680
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. It was Hiroshi Tanaka. She answered.
Hiroshi Tanaka sighed. โMiss, something happened. The president is furious. He destroyed many antiques.โ
Nanako Ito nervously asked, โWhat happened? Is Father alright?โ
Hiroshi Tanaka explained that the president had gone to Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals to finalize a share purchase agreement, paying $4.5 billion. However, Ichiro Kobayashi, presumed dead, had reappeared and transferred 90% of the shares to Oracle Pharmaceutical, a Chinese company, rendering the agreement invalid. Oracle Pharmaceutical refused to return the money.
Nanako Ito was shocked. โMy father invested $4.5 billion; how could this happen?โ
Tanaka mentioned that the head of Oracle Pharmaceutical was Charlie Wade.
Hearing โCharlie Wade,โ Nanako Ito exclaimed in surprise, โCharlie Wade-kun is in Japan?!โ
