Seeing that Liam had started to get used to the new, temporary title, Charlie sat beside Liam and asked him, "Have you received the return receipt letter of the Apothecary Stomach Pill from The Food and Drug Administration?"NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"Yes, I did." Liam said, "The Food and Drug Administration has even listed the Apothecary Stomach Pill as a medication for use in hospitals. We've now started the procedures of customs approval. We'll soon send five million boxes to the United States."
Charlie then asked him, "Have you established the sales channel in the United States? After all, the Apothecary Stomach Pill is an oral drug. We can't put it on sale on our own, right?"
"Yes." Liam explained, "Any item that is termed as medicine must go through the proper channel of drugstores to sell them. So, we have to start with Walgreens in the United States. There are more than eight thousand Walgreens in the United States, and it is a drugstore franchise that has the highest sales in the United States. I've talked to the person in charge, and they'll establish a main position at their drugstores when the time comes. We'll borrow their channels to promote The Apothecary Pharmaceutical first. When the brand has become popular, we'll start to establish a direct marketing channel for our health
care products."
Charlie asked him, "Does this drugstore franchise approve of Oskia's traditional medicine?"
"Yes, they've approved it." Smiling, Liam said, "Their boss was originally a fan of traditional medicine. He was obsessed with cupping therapy and acupuncture. Previously, he wanted to bring hemorrhoid ointment into the market of the United States, but the FDA didn't approve of it. As for the Apothecary Stomach Pill, he had long started taking that under his friend's recommendation."
As he was talking, Liam said again, "There's also another thing. Their boss had been suffering from Spleen-Yang deficiency for more than twenty years. He would always feel nausea around his stomach, and he had tried various ways of Western medicine, but it still didn't improve. Later, the illness went away instantly after he started taking the Kobayashi Stomach Pill. However, you're also aware that Kobayashi Stomach Pill won't help to cure the illness. Its effect is way less than our Apothecary Stomach Pill. After we acquired Kobayashi Pharmacy, we stopped producing Kobayashi Stomach Pill so instead, he then started taking our Apothecary Stomach Pill under his friend's recommendation. Now his illness is cured, which is why he's very enthusiastic toward this medicine."
"Alright." Charlie nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's hurry up and carry it out."
Liam hurriedly said, "Master Wade... Oh, no, Director Wade, I think we can start to register a group in the United States in advance before we establish a production line. After all, the market is very large in North America. With the production line, the total cost can be greatly lowered. That way, we can avoid spending money on customs."
Charlie waved his hand. "That's
we
unnecessary. If we do that, we may be able to lower the customs fee, but we'll always be impeded by the United States Federation. It may not be a good thing. Besides, even if we don't have to pay for the customs fees of the produced medicine, would still need to pay for the customs fees of the import of the ingredients for the medicine. In short, it may not help us save much. I think that we'd better use the Apothecary Restoration Pill to negotiate terms with them, asking them to exempt all drugs from The Apothecary Pharmaceutical from customs fees."
Hearing that, Liam was flabbergasted. He blurted out and said, "Is... Is that even possible..."
Charlie said seriously, "Of course. If
you don't believe me, we can sound Jameson out later. If my guess is right his backer should be The White House."
"The
shock, "Could it be that they have set on the Apothecary
the House?!" Liam uttered in
Restoration Pill?"

Smiling, Charlie said, "It would be weird if they have no desire for this kind of pill after they become aware o
f it."
As he was talking, Charlie ordered Liam, "You just have to put up your imposing manner later. Let me do the talking." Liam hurriedly nodded respectfully. "Sure. No problem!"

It was twenty past twelve when Smith arrived at the diamond private room of The Heaven Springs under Albert's lead. Upon entering The Heaven Springs, he saw Liam, Albert, and Charlie, and he soon breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
