Chapter 36 Business Plan
In the next few days after he left Lauren's house, Zachary received innumerable phone calls.
The calls were all from pharmaceutical companies. They were calling Zachary to ask if he would sell the formulation of the refining ointment.
Even Jimmy Yan from Ludington Medical College called him. He asked if Zachary was willing to let him know the formulation, and that he could let Zachary return to school if he did. Zachary hung up the phone and blacklisted the phone number before Jimmy could finish speaking.
After taking the refining ointment and practicing the Refining Boxing, Zachary felt that his body had strengthened. Not only his strength but also his agility had been improved. He was not afraid even if he had to take on a member of the special forces.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Although Maxwell had retired a long time ago, he was still the chancellor of many hospitals and the president of the Chinese Medicine Association in Ludington City. He left his house early because he had many social activities to attend to. Vanessa had just been transferred to her new school. She was trying to get used to the environment there, so she was not at home as well.
Zachary was the only one left in the large courtyard. The contrast made him seemed lonely.
His phone rang just as he was going to take a stroll outside the house. He was about to hang up the phone because he thought it was from the pharmaceutical companies again. Unexpectedly, it was Lauren who was calling him. He answered the phone call instantly.
"Sister Lim, what's the matter?"
"Zach, can't I call you even when everything is fine?" Lauren teased Zachary in a familiar tone.
"Of course not! Sister Lim, your condition..." Zachary said worriedly.
"Don't worry. My heart condition did not exacerbate ever since you treated me last time." She deliberately emphasized the word "treat". Zachary blushed when his memories of that day flashed across his mind.
"Okay, I'll stop teasing you. Zach, are you free now? I have something to discuss with you," Lauren said seriously.
"Sure, I'll meet you now! Where are you?"
After getting the address from Lauren, he rushed over immediately. It was a wellness center not far from the TV station.
There were many young women in the wellness center, and a lot of men going in and out under the accompany of women. Zachary couldn't help but have a bee in his bonnet. He thought, "Why is Sister Lim meeting me in such a place?" On the third floor, Lauren was lying down in a prone position on a soft massage device. She was covered with a white towel, revealing her fair back. A young woman was massaging her.
Seeing Zachary's embarrassed expression, Lauren knew that he was not used to the atmosphere here. She teased him, "Zach, what's wrong? Why are you blushing?"
"Nothing! Sister Lim, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be working now?" Zachary waved his hand.
Lauren gestured for the young woman who was massaging her to leave. She sat up on the massage bed, covering her body with the towel. Zachary couldn't help but stare at her. "I may not have to go to work anymore." "What?" Zachary said in surprise. "Sister Lim, have you resigned?"
Lauren shook her head gently, "I haven't resigned yet. But, I plan to do so."
Zachary was a little confused, "Sister Lim, why do you want to quit?"
"Yea, why?" Lauren said with self-mockery. "The entertainment field looks attractive, but there are countless dirty deals involved. Also, Director Wan, that old pervert, is making trouble recently."
"Did that guy make things difficult for you, Sister Lim?" Zachary's gaze tensed.
Seeing this, Lauren smiled brightly, "Zach, don't worry. I didn't let him take advantage of me."
Then, she sighed and said heavily, "But, that guy is seeking vengeance on me using the same method. He transferred me away to be the host of an agriculture channel. Also, Leslie went to the TV station to complain about me, and Janet took the opportunity to make trouble again."
"Agriculture channel?" Zachary suddenly realized something. "Sister Lim, the reason why you were transferred from the entertainment channel to the news channel that year was also..."
"Of course! That old pervert tried to molest me. I reported it to the senior management level. In the end, he transferred me away to another channel as revenge. Otherwise, why would I leave the entertainment channel when I was at my peak?" Lauren sighed softly.
"Sister Lim, I'll teach that guy a lesson for you."
"Forget it. There are too many disgusting incidences on the TV station. There will be more in the future even if I manage to solve it now. I've had enough of it." "What's your next move, Sister Lim?"
All of a sudden, Lauren's eyes lit up as she thought of something. She looked at Zachary and pointed to their surroundings, "Zach, what do you think of this place?"
"Well, it looks high-class. But, it seems that there are not many guests here!"
"Silly boy! Do you know how much the net annual profit of this place is even though there are not many guests here?"
"How much is it?"
"One hundred million yuan!" Zachary was shocked after hearing this. "Sister Lim, are you going to open a wellness center?"
"Of course not!" Lauren replied. "Although we can make money from a wellness center, it is not easy to manage a successful one. Also, the money I have is nothing compared to those rich bosses."
"Well, Sister Lim, what are you planning?" Zachary asked curiously.
"My plan is on you!" Lauren was staring at Zachary, which made him somewhat aroused.

"Sister Lim, I don't understand what you mean."
"Silly Zach, there is such a good business opportunity in front of you. Why don't you grasp it?" Lauren said while reaching out her finger and tapped on his forehead. Zachary almost had a nose-bleed when he saw her exposed fair skin accidentally. Lauren continued, "You have received a lot of phone calls from pharmaceutical companies in these few days, am I right?"
"Ah! Sister Lim, are you talking about the refining ointment?" Zachary really had no talent in the business field.
"Yes, think about it. Everyone in Ludington City, or even in the whole province, wants to buy your refining ointment so badly. The sales will definitely be outstanding if we can mass-produce it."
"But..." Zachary had some inexplicable concerns.
"I know you are unwilling to sell the formulation because you are worried that the technologies of those pharmaceutical companies are not good enough and this will affect the effect of the medicine. Also, you are worried that they might change the formulation slightly to cut costs and then affect the reputation of Chinese medicine. But, aren't we able to control these things if we produce it ourselves?"
Zachary was speechless after hearing Lauren's words. These were indeed the reasons why he didn't agree to sell the formulation. There was one more reason behind this as well. Zachary was a bit stubborn because he was more or less affected by Harrison's old-fashioned soul.
While Zachary was lost in his thought, Lauren continued, "Besides, you clearly know how effective your medicine is. It will be such a waste if you don't mass-produce this medicine to benefit more people. Chinese medicine will be promoted if the sales of your medicine are good. Isn't this your ambition?"
Zachary had to admit that Lauren was really good at persuading people. She had addressed all his concerns. Zachary was inclined to agree with her. "But, Sister Lim, I don't know anything about the production of medicines at all!" "But I know!" Lauren responded. "Let's start a company together. You're in charge of the formulation, and I'll take care of the rest. You will take 60% of the share and I'll take the rest."
"Alright. I'll have to trouble you then. But, the shares are quite low for you. Why don't I take 40% of the shares and you take the rest?"
"Silly Zach, the formulation from you is the core asset of the company. 40% of the shares are already good enough for me," Lauren smiled.
"Of course, we can also establish a wellness center and set up a membership system when we profit from the medicine. We can provide high-quality health care, and..." Lauren continued suggesting the business plan for Zachary. In the end, both of them reached an agreement. Zachary went home in a daze after listening to the ideas. Lauren, on the other hand, was going to resign.
