Surgery Godfather-Chapter 616 - 560: Kill on Sight Order

As a seasoned professional in the business world, Hans understood all too well that it wasn’t that the price for acquisition was not satisfactory. Even if the acquisition price continued to increase, Huang Jiacai wouldn’t sell Ruixing for the time being. The negotiation with Ruixing was merely a stalling tactic. freёnovelkiss.com

But, unexpectedly, Mr. Shi of Jiemai couldn’t see through the high school student’s trick and was vying with him to collaborate with Ruixing.

This high school student had managed to survive quite a long time, manoeuvring skillfully in the gaps between several companies, and still managed to lead a decent life.

Since they couldn’t acquire, the next move was to suppress and make sure Ruixing disappeared from the market forever.

Of course, their spinal external fixation frame would also disappear.

Hans was in no hurry, he would issue orders after returning to Shanghai.

Coming to G City, he wanted to inspect the South China division of Johnson & Johnson, and meet Gan Fengyi, whom he had never forgotten.

Especially when his pursuit was rejected by her, damaging his pride severely.

Back in their college days in Beijing University, he was the student council president, an exemplary scholar, yet Gan Fengyi did not have any regard for him. This matter had left a deep wound in Hans’ heart.

Every time he thought of it, he felt a surge of anger and frustration.

Now, Hans returned to China as the president of Johnson & Johnson’s Asia division, concurrently serving as the president of the China region for the world’s largest medical device giant.

More importantly, he was an authentic U.S. citizen, and currently single at just over thirty years old.

Over six feet tall with a good physique and smart eloquence; with these qualifications, he was definitely an eligible bachelor.

These past few days, Hans frequently wondered if Gan Fengyi, as the manager of the South China division of Johnson & Johnson China, would regret her decision from back then.

At that thought, Hans straightened his chest and lifted his spirits.

Accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Hans came to a high-end office building in G City’s core business district, where he finally met with Gan Fengyi.

Compared to the past, the younger sister now exuded a mature aura. Her curvaceous figure, seductive red lips, elegant professional attire, and long legs left Hans slightly dazed.

"Mr. Hans, nice to meet you!"

Gan Fengyi maintained her composure.

His Chinese name had been changed to Hans Douglas. If they used the Chinese custom to address him as Mr. Douglas it would be awkward, so Gan Fengyi addressed him directly as Mr. Hans.

"Miss Gan, it’s a pleasure to see you."

Hans was a little excited, but he tried his best to maintain the gentlemanly demeanor of a successful man.

To show their welcome for this superior boss, all office employees stood up.

"Please be at ease, don’t let my arrival disturb your work." Hans was quite magnanimous.

Gan Fengyi asked everyone to continue with their work while she escort Hans to the meeting room. The entire management team was assembled there, waiting for Mr. Hans’ guidance.

In the meeting, Mr. Hans was full of wit and humor. He talked at length about the company’s current crisis and strategy, then encouraged everyone to strive for further success.

His effusive expressions, gestures corresponding to his words and a mix of Chinese and English speech, all made Hans appear utterly charismatic.

After the meeting, Hans had a private conversation with Gan Fengyi in the office. From a work perspective, it was appropriate for the regional manager to report to the China regional president.

Although one side of the office was a glass door, it was soundproof.

"Fengyi, how have you been?"

Hans took the opportunity to convey his personal concern.

Gan Fengyi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Hans. I’m doing great. You can address me as Xiao Gan, Manager Gan or Gan Fengyi."

"Um!"

Hans coughed lightly. After an awkward moment, he immediately changed the topic, "Our negotiations with Ruixing have officially broken down. Next, we will completely sanction Ruixing. Please be prepared."

Gan Fengyi was startled but managed to hide it, her face unchanged, "Because of their new equipment recently?"

"Not entirely. Since Ruixing changed their owner, they have been accumulating patents incessantly. The headquarters believes that the negotiation with us is merely a ploy to buy time, the real goal is to steal our technology through the partnership, and then break free from our hold and be independent."

Hans sees all companies that rely on Johnson & Johnson’s patent licensing or core technology support as vassals.

"Is it the headquarters’ intention?" Fengyi Gan asked tentatively.

Hans nods, "I just returned from the United States. The headquarters have been considering for a while. The external spinal fixator was only the straw that broke the camel’s back. The headquarters believe that they can devise such a high-tech device, which is very dangerous in the future, so it either needs to be acquired or eliminated, leaving no third option."

Fengyi Gan gasped in shock. If Johnson & Johnson, the world leader, decides to completely eliminate a domestic company, no one can withstand it.

Moreover, once this banning starts, it will definitely not just be Johnson & Johnson. Medtronic, Jiemai, and Meibang will join in.

Despite the fierce competition usually, once it comes to the crucial moment, they will maintain their layer of interest and become united as a bucket of iron.

"It’s a mere Ruixing that makes the headquarters pay such attention. I need to reassess this company."

Fengyi Gan said indifferently.

Hans shook his head, "Manager Gan, this is unlike your style. To my impression, you are very decisive. The headquarters has studied the data of their spinal external fixator in detail. It’s not an ordinary new device. It will subvert the concept of treating scoliosis. Once it is on the market, the follow-up spinal products will come after. Finally, with injuries, joints, and sports medicine covering the entire market, you see, that high school student has inexplicably hoarded over three thousand core patents, covering all sub-specialties in orthopaedics."

"That high school student?" Fengyi Gan felt slightly annoyed.

Hans nodded, "Yes, the current CEO of Ruixing. As far as I know, he has never been to university, only high school."

"Mr. Hans is very familiar with him?" Fengyi Gan asked.

Hans found it strange, "Manager Gan, it’s impossible for you not to be familiar with him, right?"

Who is Fengyi Gan? She always has a clear understanding of the information of her competitors. As Ruixing quickly grows as the strongest competitor of Johnson & Johnson in South China, how can it not attract Fengyi Gan’s attention?

"Oh, just a high school student, nothing to fear. Why do I have to know him?" Fengyi Gan said casually.

Hans said contentedly, "It seems you have also noticed his weakness. Although he is somewhat capable, they are just fragmented experiences from work. He hasn’t received a formal education, is of low cultural level, and is bound to have a narrow perspective. This is like a feudal warlord, capable, yes, but how capable can he be? At most, he’s just a bandit with a slightly larger scale."

Fengyi Gan felt like laughing. If Huang Jiacai was said to have a narrow perspective, she would hardly believe it.

"He thinks he can gain some benefits by exploiting the conflicts amongst our companies. But he doesn’t know that the clever boy may become the victim of his own cleverness, and can only obtain temporary benefits. If we really make a move, they only have a dead end. I just don’t understand. We’ve offered a price of two billion, but they still haven’t surrendered and are trying to buy time and sell at higher prices. Can they even afford a higher price?" Hans was full of confidence.

"Manager Gan, I won’t keep you any longer. Once the banning order is initialised, South China will be the most intense battlefield. Your task is heavy. Considering Manager Gan’s talents, I have always thought that you are best suited to be the sales director of the Asian region. I will nominate you to the headquarters. Hope you won’t disappoint me." Hans felt that it was time to leave G City. There are many things waiting for him to handle at the headquarters in Shanghai.

"Shall I send a car to take you to the airport?" Fengyi Gan asked politely.

Receiving the boss of the headquarters was the responsibility of the branch offices. Fengyi Gan instructed the subordinate to arrange for the car, then escorted Hans to the first floor of the office building where the business car was already waiting.

Upon leaving, Hans reiterated that he would help Fengyi Gan strive for the sales director of the Asian region.

When he returned to Shanghai, Hans called a senior management meeting as quickly as possible. At the secret meeting of the core senior management, he initiated the ban against Ruixing.

This plan had been brewing for a long time, and now it was finally time to execute it.

"Terminate all patent authorisations for Ruixing!"

"Notify all factories that have dealings with Johnson & Johnson, to terminate any business cooperation with Ruixing, and let them choose between Johnson & Johnson and Ruixing."

"Factories that cooperate with Ruixing but do not have dealings with Johnson & Johnson, tell them that as long as they reject Ruixing, they can immediately become Johnson & Johnson’s partners and receive a huge number of orders."

"Accuse Ruixing of patent infringement for violating the contract and initiate a patent lawsuit!"

"Gather our media friends to focus on Ruixing’s negative news, featuring their imitation products as crude and technically inadequate. It would be best if we could collect some cases of steel plates, nail-breaking, and creating an impression that Ruixing is synonymous with inferior imitation products. When Ruixing is mentioned, let people associate it with cheap, low-quality, plagiarised products."

"Notify some key raw material manufacturers that we will buy all their supplies, such as high-strength lines for sports medicine. Their cornerstone product is a sports medicine product. Block it from the raw material supply."

"Let the headhunting company secretly act, hiring Ruixing’s R&D and sales team with three times their salaries, especially that Chen Zhi. He is a key member of their R&D team. Hire him at any cost, besides the salary, we can also promise to assist him with immigrating to the United States."

"Contact the orthopedics professors who cooperate closely with us and help us deal with Ruixing academically."

"Contact Medtronic, Jiemai Meibang, Shi Lehui. They are our common enemies."

"Attack Huang Jiacai personally in public opinion. Concentrate on his history of rise, and create an image of him of being ungrateful, crafty, and usurping company’s control."

"Spinal external fixator, through our investigation, there was one case of infection after surgery, purulent infection. Amplify the fear of this kind of complication. This device was quickly introduced from the start of the project to clinical trials. Seize this and create an image of it being hastily introduced, full of dangers, and a half-completed product."

"Everyone, the ban on Ruixing is a resolution unanimously approved by the headquarters. The headquarters has carefully analysed the data I brought, and after repeated discussion and consultation, they decided to accept my suggestion. If they can’t be acquired, then they must be eliminated. So this time, we must be successful. The funds spent, I believe the headquarters has a better vision than us. It is better to spend some money now to solve the problem than to let the enemy grow into a giant."
