Chapter 131
Seeing that Jayde was still around, a look of disgust shed across Stanley’s face. “Mr. Larson, what
should we do with this b*tch?”
Frightened, Jayde pleaded anxiously, “M-Mr. Larson, I realized my mistake now. I-I’ll spend my days
quietly with Julian and won’t leave their sides again. Please give me a chance.”
“Get out of here!” Matthew roared. “What makes you think you’re fit to be with my buddy? Are you even
qualified? Throw her out of here!”
Stanley waved his hand and a few men came up to drag her out before she could say anything else.
“So tell me, why did youe to look for me?” Matthew asked.
Snorting, Stanley replied, “Mr. Larson, have you heard of the Six Southern States Medical
Conference?”
N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
Mr. Harrison did mention this before and it was said that Dr. Ellis left the mountains for this conference,
Matthew recalled.
ording to Mr. Harrison, this conference was a grand and important event for the medical industry of
the six southern states.
Stanley exined further, “Although it is a medical conference which is held annually, it is in fact, an
event that determines the distribution of medical resources between the six southern states. To put it
simply in an example, the drugs produced by the Cunninghams ovep the ones from otherpanies
in different states. So, how can you sell the same drug with different brands?”
“What’s the problem with that?” Matthew was surprised. “Shouldn’t the pharmacies and customers
have a choice in this?”
Nodding, Stanley answered, “That was what we thought in the beginning, but some problems popped
up afterward. The pharmaciester started a price war in order to appear morepetitive. In the end,
smaller pharmacies were forced to close down while the bigger ones were unable to make much profit.
But the same situation was not only happening within the pharmacies—it also happened to hospitals,
medical institutions and medical equipment manufacturingpanies. Anything rted to the medical
field would be affected.”
Matthew frowned as he thought about Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. Now it was clear to him why it
almost toppled over a few years ago; this must have been the reason.
Stanley continued, “Because of this, the medical families in the six southern states came together and
decided to hold this medical conference annually. Even though they call it a conference, what we
actually do there ispete with each other and see who has the best medical skills. The state that
wins will get the most benefit while the state that loses will have to give up part of their interests.”
Casting a gaze at Stanley, Matthew asked in a low voice, “So you would like me topete and assist
Eastshire?”
With an awkward smile, Stanley replied, “It seems like I can’t hide my thoughts from you, Mr. Larson.
For the past few years, Eastshire has been at the bottom ce and the medical resources are now
incredibly scarce. I have long wanted to expand Carlson Pharmacy to other states but was unable to do
so due to the consecutive losses of Eastshire. Even the main business of Cunningham
Pharmaceuticals is limited to some cities in the state, and they are unable to open up new markets. If
Eastshire won this time, just Carlson Pharmacy alone could triple its assets in a year. Mr. Larson, if
you’re willing topete and help Eastshire win, I’ll give you ten percent of the equity in Carlson
Pharmacy!”
Matthew pondered over it for a while. “I will probably go to the conference, but I may not get involved
because I don’t want people to know about me.”
Although he already inherited the knowledge from the jade pendant, it still involved the incident which
resulted in the annihtion of his family back then, and he didn’t want to expose his identity before he
had umted enough strength.
He had to maintain a low profile, gather his strength and investigate the destruction of his family in
order to take revenge and return the Larsons to their former glory!
