The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1656

Kobayashi Stomach Pill was the key product of Kobayashi Pharma, which generated most of the company’s revenues and profit. Kobayashi Pharma would definitely suffer a devastating loss if they rivaled Apothecary Stomach Pill heads-on after it was launched. 3

Therefore, someone asked Kobayashi Masayoshi, "Mr. Chairman, we can't just sit and await our dooms! Do you have any idea on how to deal with it?" 2

Masayoshi replied, "Indeed, there is a way to deal with it. We must increase our investment in drug research and development, and we must also quickly upgrade our current products. If our Kobayashi Stomach Pill can surpass Apothecary Stomach Pill in terms of potency, I'm sure we can dominate and monopolize the market!" 5

The person in charge of research and development continued, "Mr. Chairman, if we want to increase the funding for our department, we need a huge budget. Can we still afford it since the company was scammed not long ago?"

Masayoshi cleared his throat and answered, "This is what I'm about to tell you. Our current capital flow is not very optimistic. This is due to the huge investment we put in on the Osaka production base, coupled with the previous unexpected losses. All

these incidents have left us with less than 50 million dollars to invest in research and development. My idea is to raise funds as soon as possible. I would like a t least one billion dollars to upgrade our research and development laboratory!"

Everyone sat upright as soon as they heard about the fundraising proposal. Someone in the crowd added, "M r. Chairman, do you have a suitable financing partner now?" 3

Masayoshi nodded and said, "Chairman Jiro has been consulting and negotiating with Ito Yahiko-san, the patriarch of the Ito family, regarding the financing matter. I'm sure you all know about this."

The crowd nodded.

Kobayashi Jiro had always wanted to obtain Ito Yahiko's investment and even wanted to become his son-in-law. That was why he was willing to spend so much money sponsoring the combat and fighting championship in which Nanako participated. This was an open secret within Kobayashi Pharma. 5
