Chapter 1454: Chapter 1454: Your Thinking Is Wrong

Wuyue placed a laptop on the podium beside him and signaled for Luo Ziling to present there.

After smiling at Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling thanked Wuyue and then walked confidently to the podium.

He first extended New Year’s greetings to all the management personnel in attendance and introduced himself.

The PPT prepared by Ouyang Feifei included his brilliant performances at several academic activities he participated in last year and was placed at the beginning. However, Luo Ziling didn’t go into detail about his illustrious history; he simply used a few sentences to introduce the major academic conferences he attended last year, before focusing on his collaboration with Lingyun Pharmaceutical during the previous year, including pharmaceutical cooperation and personal investment.

While Luo Ziling was discussing his collaboration with Lingyun Pharmaceutical, a female executive in her forties stood up to ask him a question.

The crux of her question was, since Luo Ziling, directed by Ling Ruonan, had already launched large-scale cooperation with Lingyun Pharmaceutical and achieved significant results, why not enhance the collaboration with Lingyun Pharmaceutical, but instead, establish a pharmaceutical investment company within Northern Group.

"A pharmaceutical company cannot produce all medicines, as that is an impossible task, nor can it guarantee a stable supply of raw materials and medicine quality. Therefore, while engaging in large-scale cooperation with Lingyun Pharmaceutical, it is also crucial to establish our own pharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing team," Luo Ziling explained succinctly, "We will not create homogeneous competition and there will be no conflicts in the field of pharmaceutical research."

Following this, Luo Ziling substantiated his point with actual data.

Currently, the number of finished drug formulas licensed to Lingyun Pharmaceutical Group for production is less than fifteen, yet he has at least fifty formulas ready for production. The profits from the formulas licensed to Lingyun Pharmaceutical last year have already reached billions.

Hearing Luo Ziling list these figures, many were astonished.

They believed in the authenticity of the data, as there was no reason for Luo Ziling to deceive them with fabricated data.

Such a thing was unnecessary, and Ling Ruonan would not permit it.

Luo Ziling went on to talk about pharmaceutical matters, including the characteristics, efficacy, and uniqueness of a few drugs.

As Luo Ziling discussed these topics, Wuyue, prompted by Ling Ruonan, publicly displayed video clips of Luo Ziling attending several conferences in the meeting room. Luo Ziling’s exquisite acupuncture techniques, and scenes praised by many medical authorities, were thus directly presented to everyone.

Throughout the presentation, Luo Ziling spoke with great confidence, coupled with his handsome appearance, he captivated all the women participants present. They were the first to start applauding and cheering, subsequently elevating the atmosphere in the meeting room.

After finishing his presentation amidst enthusiastic applause, Luo Ziling finally returned to his seat.

Ling Ruonan picked up from where Luo Ziling left off, speaking in a voice that wasn’t loud, but carried authority, "Over the years, I feel my only mistake was not paying enough attention and investment in the pharmaceutical industry. Everyone knows how rapidly the pharmaceutical health industry has been growing in these years. The benefits we reaped from our cooperation with Lingyun Pharmaceutical last year are a prime example. The potential benefits from medical technology and pharmaceutical manufacturing are enormous. I’m sure you all know that policies supporting traditional medicine have been formulated, and the national investment in this regard will be tremendous. We cannot miss this opportunity."

Pausing for a moment, Ling Ruonan continued, "I am very aware of the technologies that Luo Ziling possesses. Some things you may not know, but I have truly witnessed the magic of traditional medicine. Be it technology or medication, they have greatly amazed me. As you all may not know, several of my sick elders were cured by Luo Ziling when modern medical technology was helpless against their diseases. I’m not saying these things to boast about his excellence, but I believe that the technology and pharmaceutical formulas he offers provide sufficient space for our pharmaceutical company to thrive."

Again, Ling Ruonan paused, slowly scanning the room before continuing, "Thus, in the new year, we will commit significant investments to build a pharmaceutical enterprise belonging to our Northern Group and, by doing so, drive the rejuvenation and development of traditional medicine. Luo Ziling will not have much experience in managing enterprises; therefore, he will primarily be responsible for technical aspects, and I will arrange other personnel for administrative management. I am willing to make a public guarantee in front of all management: our newly established pharmaceutical enterprise can achieve a profit of one billion in the first year, and thereafter, a minimum of twenty percent growth annually."

No one expected the usually cautious Ling Ruonan to make such a guarantee in front of so many people.

There are eleven members of the Northern Group’s board, who direct the fate of Northern Group. If Ling Ruonan has any major decisions, she only needs to inform the board’s members and gain majority approval, with particularly significant matters requiring a two-thirds majority. For such a guarantee, even if she wanted to make one, all she needed was to inform the board members, not make it publicly in a management meeting. Ling Ruonan’s willingness and courage to make this guarantee at such a meeting only underscores her confidence in the development of the pharmaceutical enterprise.

Those familiar with her know that Ling Ruonan is exceedingly cautious and almost never makes mistakes. Today’s statements are uncharacteristic of her, so there must be deeper meaning behind them.

Ling Ruonan is determined to have her son preside over the newly established pharmaceutical enterprise and will provide policy and financial support.

No one stood up to question her decision; no one dared to oppose after Ling Ruonan made such a guarantee.

Applause quickly erupted and became very enthusiastic.

Regardless of the attendees’ mindsets, no one stood up in opposition, and the applause was so vigorous it only illustrated the immense respect and authority Ling Ruonan commanded within Northern Group, which is built on accomplishments and capabilities.

After the meeting concluded and they returned to the CEO’s office, Luo Ziling, still a bit anxious inside, quietly asked Ling Ruonan, "Mom, do you feel a sense of crisis, eager for me to get involved in Northern Group’s management affairs?"

Not expecting Luo Ziling to ask this, Ling Ruonan was taken aback but eventually smiled, "I’m glad you can perceive this, but the answer I need to give you is: your assumption is incorrect!"

"Why?"
