Similar lobbying activities are also in full swing in developed countries in Europe and the United States such as England.

Cao Kun's team visited a number of influential parliamentarians and decision-makers and had in-depth exchanges and communication with them.

Cao Kun's team, carrying carefully prepared materials and strategies, shuttled between London's political and business celebrities.

Their goal was clear: to secure a monopoly on Viagra for their pharmaceutical company's production in Europe and the United States.

Early one morning, the team members stepped into a historic parliament building.

They were ushered into an elegantly decorated conference room where several influential parliamentarians and decision-makers were seated.

Classicism and power are in the air, and Cao Kun's team is ready to take on the challenge with the humility and tenacity of the East.

"Excellencies, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to meet with us!"

The team leader opened the speech with fluent English, and his voice revealed sincerity and respect.

An elderly councillor smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Friends from the East, we always welcome them."

But as you know, it is not easy to gain a monopoly position in the pharmaceutical market.

What do you think?"

The team leader was prepared, he took out a detailed market analysis report, pointed to the data on it, and said.

"Your Excellency, our Viagra products have demonstrated excellent efficacy and wide acceptance in the market.

We believe that by giving us exclusive rights to sell, we have the ability to take this product to the next level!"

Another lawmaker frowned slightly and questioned: "But how do you ensure that the pricing is reasonable? Monopoly often means high prices, which is not good news for consumers!"

The market expert in the team immediately took over: "What you said is very true.

But please be assured that our pricing strategy will fully take into account consumer affordability, and we are willing to work with the government to establish a price regulation mechanism to ensure the fairness and accessibility of products!"

These words seemed to move the parliamentarians present.

They began to talk to each other about the feasibility of the proposal.

Cao Kun's team took the opportunity to hand over more information, detailing their R&D strength, market layout, and vision for the future of the pharmaceutical industry.

07 After some intense discussions and exchanges, the attitude of the parliamentarians gradually softened.

The older MP concluded: "Well, friends from the East, we are very impressed with your performance today.

We are willing to consider your proposal and further consult with the relevant departments!"

The team leader was overjoyed to hear this, and he knew that the lobbying activity had achieved a phased victory.

He stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you very much for your support and understanding.

We promise that once we gain a monopoly position, we will do our best to give back to the society and contribute our strength to the cause of human health!"

They made full use of the lobbying style peculiar to Europe and the United States, and succeeded in winning the support and help of these people by promising future benefits and care.

The popularity and influence of their drugs in the European and American markets have gradually increased, laying a solid foundation for subsequent sales and promotion.

......

For example, when developing this drug, the biggest concern is that it will be imitated.

After others imitate it, not only will the market share be swallowed up, but the original high R&D expenditure will not be compensated.

All pharmaceutical companies take this very seriously.

At a meeting, a professional lawyer serving pharmaceutical companies reminded: "Mr. Cao, we may now face the risk of imitation by other pharmaceutical companies.

Once they succeed, our market share will be severely impacted!"

Cao Kun sneered, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Imitations, hum, they dare!"

His voice suddenly raised a few points, shaking the hearts of everyone present.

"Not only do we have to apply for patents, but we also have to impose huge penalties on those pharmaceutical companies that dare to imitate, and I want them to know that this field is not the place for them to go wild!"

The team members looked at each other, and they were all shocked by Cao Kun's domineering.

But they also know that Cao Kun is not joking.

He is a man who walks the talk, and once he decides something, he will definitely do it to the end.

As a result, the patent application work was in full swing.

Cao Kun personally supervises every link to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

At the same time, he also began to develop a set of punishment mechanisms for generic drug manufacturers.

He wants to let potential competitors know that there is a price to be paid for touching his line.

Soon after, Cao Kun's pharmaceutical factory successfully applied for a patent.

This news caused an uproar in the market.

Those pharmaceutical companies that once wanted to imitate them retreated, and they did not dare to confront Cao Kun head-on.

And those pharmaceutical companies that have begun to imitate have been severely cracked down by Cao Kun.

Not only do they face hefty fines, but they also have to suffer reputational damage.

In this patent battle, Cao Kun showed his wisdom and means.

He has successfully used the patent system to protect his medicines, making his drugs even more unique in the market.

Those potential competitors were intimidated by his domineering spirit and did not dare to act rashly.

With the passage of time, Cao Kun's drug gradually gained a firm foothold in the European and American markets.

Sales are rising, and profits are snowballing.

Those who had lost their faith because of age have now regained their male dignity and self-confidence with the help of Cao Kun's medicine.

However, Cao Kun was not satisfied with this.

For this drug to continue to be a hit, it must continue to innovate and improve.

As a result, he once again invested heavily in the research and development of more advanced and effective drugs to meet the needs of different consumers.

At the same time, he also began to expand the global market so that more people could enjoy the benefits brought by his medicines.

In this way, with his ambition, wisdom and courage, Cao Kun successfully turned an ordinary drug into a cash cow.

I believe that in the next three or four days, this drug will also bring more than one trillion profits to his company......

.........

The morning light on Hong Kong Island shines on the pharmaceutical factory jointly built by Cao Kun and Zhu Lin, and the two are fighting side by side, and the scale of the pharmaceutical factory is growing day by day.

Every successful R&D and successful launch of each batch of drugs brings them closer together.

In the eyes of others, they are already an inseparable couple.

However, behind this glamorous appearance, Julien's heart has quietly changed.

She found that whenever night fell, Cao Kun's figure would always disappear into the bustling night scene of Hong Kong Island, and there were scandals with actresses and celebrities from all walks of life.

Zhao Yuzhi's charm, Zhong Chuhong's frankness, Chen Yulian's elegance, Guan Zhilin's enchantment...... They are like bright stars, surrounding Cao Kun, the dazzling sun.

By chance, Julian saw a photo on Cao Kun's desk.

It was a photo of Cao Kun and Madonna, the two snuggling up intimately with bright smiles.

Her heart instantly sank to the freezing point, and an indescribable pain welled up in her heart.

She finally couldn't help it, found Cao Kun, and asked him face-to-face: "Cao Kun, what is the matter with you? You and these women ...... Is it all true?"

Cao Kun looked at Zhu Lin, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and calmly faced Julien's questioning: "Yes, I have had a relationship with them.

But that's just a part of my life, it doesn't affect my feelings for you!"

Zhu Lin listened to Cao Kun's answer, and the pain in her heart became even more intense.

"Your feelings? Are your feelings like this? Entangled with so many women, where do you put me?"

There was a tremor in her voice, and her eyes were red.

Cao Kun looked at Julien's sad appearance, and he felt a little unbearable.

He reached out and tried to comfort her, but she pushed her away.

"Don't touch me!Cao Kun, you've disappointed me so much.

I thought...... I thought we could spend the rest of our lives together, but now it seems like it was just wishful thinking!"

After Julien finished speaking, she turned and left.

Cao Kun looked at her back, his heart full of helplessness and guilt.

Her own indulgence has hurt Julien deeply, and this relationship may never be irretrievable.

But he didn't give up, as long as this big beauty didn't leave his side, there was always a chance to turn her into his own woman.

In every corner of the pharmaceutical factory, there seems to be gossip about Julien and Cao Kun.

Those whispers and fingers are like countless tiny needles, piercing Julien's heart all the time.

One morning, when Julien walked through the door of the pharmaceutical factory, she clearly felt the strange eyes around her.

She tried to make herself appear calm, but her heart was already turbulent.

"Yo, the boss lady is here!"

One of the workers shouted loudly, with a hint of banter in his tone.

Julin's footsteps paused slightly, she took a deep breath, turned her head, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Please don't call me like that, Cao Kun and I are just colleagues!"

"Haha, colleague relationship?"

Another worker said, "Who believes it, you see that Mr. Cao is so good to you, it must be because you two have ......."

"Enough!"

Zhu Lin's voice suddenly raised a few points, and a trace of anger and helplessness flashed in her eyes: "My relationship with Cao Kun is not what you imagined.

Please respect me and Cao Kun!"

However, her words didn't do much.

The gossip still grows like weeds and spreads throughout the pharmaceutical factory.

At lunchtime, Julien sat alone at the corner table, trying to avoid the eyes of the crowd.

No matter how she explained and clarified, those people would not believe that the relationship between her and Cao Kun was just a simple colleague.

Suddenly, a female colleague who usually has a good relationship with her came over and sat across from her.

The female colleague looked around, and then whispered: "Julien, in fact, we all know that the relationship between you and Mr. Cao is not ordinary.

Why don't you just admit it?"

Julien smiled wryly and shook her head, she felt helpless and powerless about the misunderstanding and speculation of her female colleagues.

"Cao Kun and I are really not what you think.

It's just a simple partnership, and there are no personal feelings!"

She tried to explain, but the powerlessness revealed in her words was difficult to fully convince.

The female colleague looked at her, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes, as if she had grasped something.

"I've heard a lot of people say that the pharmaceutical factory run by Mr. Cao is for you, and if it weren't for you, this pharmaceutical factory wouldn't have existed at all!"

Her words were like a sharp needle, instantly piercing the peace in Julien's heart.

Julien was stunned, she never thought that her relationship with Cao Kun would be interpreted like this.

Cao Kun actually invested 100 million yuan to build a pharmaceutical factory in Shenzhen, which was still a small fishing village in 1979, for his own sake?

The news was too shocking for her to digest for a while.

An inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart, whether it was moved, surprised, or uneasy? She didn't know.

She only knew that if all this was true, then Cao Kun's status in her heart would change drastically.

So, she decided to go to Cao Kun to ask for clarification.

When she faced Cao Kun and asked the question in her heart, Cao Kun just smiled and nodded, giving her an affirmative answer.

At that moment, Julian was shocked by Cao Kun's affection.

She never thought that she was so precious in Cao Kun's heart.

This answer was like a boulder, thrown into her otherwise calm heart lake, stirring up layers of ripples.

She began to reconsider her future and that of Cao Kun.

I can't run away and deny it anymore as I used to.

She must face up to her feelings for Cao Kun and the future between them.

......

One day, Julian accidentally bumped into Cao Kun's beautiful assistant Liang Anqi and Cao Kun's intimate behavior.

A complex emotion surged in her heart, both shock, incomprehension, and an indescribable sense of loss.

She couldn't help but step forward and asked Liang Anqi directly: "You know that Cao Kun has so many women, why are you still with him?"

There was a bit of confusion and suspicion in her tone, as if she wanted to find a reasonable explanation from Liang Anqi.

Liang Anqi looked at Julien, and a trace of firmness and calmness flashed in her eyes.

She took a deep breath and said slowly: "I'd rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife."

I know that Cao Kun has a lot of women around him, but I also know very well that he is the best and most outstanding of the men I see now.

He was able to give me the life I wanted, able to fulfill my needs and desires.

I just want to live the life I want, so why should I care if he has other women?"

She paused, then continued, "And, I'm not alone.

Cao Kun was very good to me, he was able to come to me in time when I needed it.

For other women, I can turn a blind eye.

Because for me, it's my own feelings and happiness that matters!"

Liang Anqi's words made Zhu Lin feel a little shocked.

She repeatedly chanted "I'd rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife", and an inexplicable feeling surged in her heart.

She suddenly realized that her feelings and expectations for Cao Kun all along seemed too simple and naïve.

In this realistic and complex world, feelings are not the only measure, everyone has their own choices and pursuits.

Julien began to re-examine her feelings and expectations for Cao Kun.

She realized that she couldn't change Cao Kun's lifestyle and emotional concepts, nor could she ask him to change for herself.

All she can do is accept reality and respect everyone's choices and pursuits.

Although the main body of the pharmaceutical factory is built in Shenzhen, the R&D center is located on the bustling island of Hong Kong.

Julie often travels back and forth between the two places because of her work, which gives her the opportunity to get in touch with the real face of the upper class society on Hong Kong Island.

Here, she saw the rotten side of capital and rampant materialism, and few of those rich and powerful men seemed to be able to resist the temptation of the world of flowers.

In such an environment, Cao Kun's behavior seems to be understandable.

His conditions were more superior than those of the rich people, and he not only had more wealth, but also had a handsome appearance and a strong physique.

He is like the lion king of the lion pack, naturally attracting more women.

When Julien realized this, she began to be able to accept Cao Kun's current situation, and no longer felt as unacceptable and painful as before.

Especially when Julien looked back at her husband, the man who had disappointed and helpless her once became even more unbearable in her eyes at the moment.

He has no ambitions, only knows to be content with the status quo, and even sacrifices his wife's happiness in exchange for his own interests.

Compared to Cao Kun, he seemed so small and humble.

In such a comparison, Zhu Lin has a deeper understanding of what Liang Anqi said, "I'd rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife".

She realized that instead of struggling in a marriage with no future and hope, it was better to choose a partner who would bring her more possibilities and happiness.

Even if it means facing more challenges and difficulties, she is willing to be brave enough to try and pursue it.......
