Chapter 879 How long can it last?
The next moment, Xu Haoling clapped his hands, and suddenly a group of people rushed in.
"Mr. Tang, these are the leaders of the Shanghai City Pharmaceutical Association! They're here today to investigate the infringement case at Zhongshengtang!"
"Oh, by the way, I've also invited Miss Judy over. It should be almost time."
"Today is the day you make your decision! I advise you not to make the mistake!"
Tang Yuerou couldn't help but frown.
She had long guessed that Xu Haoling would not come to her house without a reason, and that something big must have happened when he suddenly showed up today.
But she didn't expect that the Xu family was so powerful that they could mobilize the leaders of the Shanghai City Medical Association.
Among the many branches of the Medical Association in the entire Daxia, the capital is the most prominent.
There is the headquarters of the Medical Association.
However, in recent years, the Shanghai City branch has shown a trend of catching up with the Beijing branch.
After all, Shanghai City is currently the most developed place in Daxia for commerce, and its influence even radiates across the globe.
In order to conduct global trade, many companies have moved to Shanghai City and established their headquarters here.
The Shanghai City branch of the Medical Association has gained increasing status because it can bring the greatest benefits. There are even reports that the headquarters of the Medical Association will be moved to Shanghai City.
all in all.
The leaders of the Shanghai City branch are powerful and have great say in the entire medical association.
If these people deliberately make things difficult for Zhongshengtang Pharmaceutical.
The Hall of All Beings will not be able to gain a foothold in Shanghai City, and will even be ostracized in the entire Daxia.
"Leaders, is there any misunderstanding about what happened today? How come I didn't know about any infringement?"
Tang Yuerou patiently asked a few questions seriously.
One of the elders explained with a stern face, "We've received reports and complaints from Qing Yu Tang, claiming that many of the medicines from Zhongsheng Tang are stolen from Qing Yu Tang's secret recipes."
"They have already submitted relevant evidence, which shows that the efficacy of more than a dozen drugs produced by your two companies are the same, and the drug ingredients are almost the same."
"But the crux of the matter is that Qing Yu Tang's secret recipes have long been patented! In order to protect Qing Yu Tang's patent rights, we must conduct a detailed investigation of Zhongsheng Tang!"
These people spoke in a businesslike manner.
But his words revealed a preconceived notion, and it was obvious that he was biased towards the Xu family's Qing Yu Tang.
Tang Yuerou was a little anxious: "This is impossible! Our Zhongshengtang's prescriptions are definitely different from Qingyutang's! Many of our prescriptions have been passed down for hundreds of years and have long been patented!"
"If you don't believe me, you can verify it with the Jiangdong Provincial Branch of the Medical Association!"
The old man nodded expressionlessly.
"You don't need to remind us of this. We will naturally investigate and collect evidence!"
"However, until our investigation is complete, you, Zhongshengtang, must close down and conduct a self-inspection! Those drugs suspected of infringing copyright must no longer be put into production!"
In an instant, Tang Yuerou's face turned ugly.
"How long will your investigation last?"
The old man replied calmly, "It's hard to say. When the final conclusion will be reached depends on whether both of you cooperate."
"At that time, we will also select a professional third-party agency to conduct testing and comparison."
"If you have any objections to our test results, you can choose a qualified testing agency and conduct your own testing and comparison."
"In short, we will be very careful in verifying the facts and will never wrongly accuse anyone!"
The more the old man spoke, the uglier Tang Yuerou's expression became.
This type of inspection is troublesome in itself and involves many procedures.
If it's fast, there will be results in ten days or half a month.
But if someone deliberately delays, there may not be any results even after three to five months, or even a year or two.
And from what the other party said, if there is any problem with the test results, Zhongshengtang will find a new testing agency to conduct new tests and comparisons.
This process will be extended indefinitely!
"No, we at the Hall of All Beings cannot accept this practice!"
The old man glanced at Tang Yuerou.
"Whether you can accept it or not is your business! I'm here to inform you today, not to discuss it with you!"
Tang Yuerou felt so aggrieved.
It was obviously Zhongshengtang that launched the medicine first, so why did Qingyutang report them?
Yet, the Shanghai City Medical Association accepted such a ridiculous report. No one would believe that there is no trick here.
She wanted to argue again when she suddenly heard the sound of high heels hitting the ground.
Turning around, Judy had already hurried over.
"Mr. Xu, you suddenly asked me to meet you here today. What do you want?"
Judy has a strong aura and looks heroic.
Xu Haoling's eyes lit up and he chuckled, "I asked Miss Judy to come here because I wanted to discuss cooperation with you. Shennong Pharmaceuticals and our Xu family, joining forces, must be the wisest choice!"
Judy frowned slightly.
"Didn't I tell you about this? Give me a few days to think about it."
"After all, the selection of partners for Shennong Pharmaceuticals is not decided by me alone. It requires discussions among the entire company's top management."
"Once I get the results, I will inform Master Xu immediately!"
Xu Shao shrugged.
"I think there's no need for you to discuss this now!"
"Because from today on, the Xu family is not only the wisest choice for Shennong Pharmaceutical, but also your only choice!"
"Why, Miss Judy, are you confused? Why not let Miss Tang clear it up for you?"
After saying this, Xu Shao crossed his legs.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the follower beside him handed him the cigar and lit it with ease.
Judy couldn't help but glance at Tang Yuerou.
Tang Yuerou took a deep breath and described the situation in detail in a low voice.
In an instant, Judy's face completely sank.
"Mr. Xu, what do you mean?"
Xu Haoling exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile, "Isn't the meaning obvious enough? If I want to, I can paralyze the Hall of All Beings!"
"This investigation may be completed in three to five years, or even a year or two!"
"Even if it's over, Qing Yu Tang will openly sue. A lawsuit can easily drag on for two or three years!"
Having said that, he glanced at Tang Yuerou with a smile.
"I wonder if you, the Hall of All Beings, can hold out for that long?"
Then he looked at Judy again.
"Can you, Shennong Pharmaceutical, wait that long?"
Judy looked at Tang Yuerou with some sympathy and sighed deeply.
Although Xu Haoling's actions were shameless, they actually strangled the lifeline of Zhongshengtang Pharmaceutical, which was almost unsolvable!
Even if she wanted to help Tang Yuerou, she was powerless at this moment.
Tang Yuerou gritted her teeth and said, "Master Xu, there's no point in doing this! Our Zhongshengtang Pharmaceutical doesn't just rely on those dozen or so drugs!"
"In addition to these medicines, we are also responsible for dealing in various Chinese herbal medicines! Our future cooperation with Shennong Pharmaceutical will also focus on Chinese herbal medicines!"
