Chapter 1614
My Ex-Wife and Kids Came In Like A Wrecking Ball
Chapter 1614 The Lancer Family Doesnât Need Undeserved Reputation Xander did not care how angry his grandfather was, but he tried to convince him.
"Grandpa, Dr.Jacobs insisted on pricing the drug at 120 bucks each.I donât think anyone can accept such a low price.This is a losing business."
Old Master Lancer felt his vision turn dark.He almost fainted.He never expected the heir he had carefully picked to be so interested in profit!
"Is the Lancer family so poor that we need such little profit?"
He gasped at his chest and scolded Xander.
Xander hung his head in silence.
Although he did not speak, it was enough to show his attitude.He still thought the deal was a loss and not worth doing.
Old Master Lancer looked at his grandson and felt disappointed.
"I chose you as the heir of the Lancer family because I thought you'd understand that the reputation of the Lancer family depends on the benevolence of a doctor, not the profit we make!"
Xander answered gloomily, "I understand."
Old Master Lancer glared at his grandson.
"No! You donât! Before this, the Lancer family couldn't produce any new drugs for years.We had a new drug produced because of our partnership with Rosalie, but you blew it!"
The television showed the press conference ending and Rosalie leaving the venue under the protection of three bodyguards as they walked through the group of reporters.
The cooperation between Rosalie and the new suppliers had been made.
Realizing there was no way to change the result, Old Master Lancer shook his head and said, "Forget it.Youâve lost your path.Leave your job at Lancer Corporation for the time being and go on a free clinic tour.Go and think about why Iâm disappointed in you.I'll get someone else to take over the company for now."
Xanderâs heart skipped a beat upon hearing that decision.
He looked at his grandfather in disbelief.
Lancer Corporation could develop into what it was today because of him.
However, his grandfather wanted to get rid of him so easily.
How could he accept that? Moreover, he had yet to achieve his goal! Xander suppressed his emotions and apologized to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I know my mistake.I caused this without considering the consequences, but Iâm sure there is a way to change Dr.Jacobsâs mind! Iâll talk to her about this."
Old Master Lancer his head in disappointment.
"Itâs too late now.Don't you see? Now the world knows Dr.Jacobs is cooperating with Lancer Corporation and Quirke Enterprise."
Even if they launched the new drug, it would have nothing to do with Lancer Corporation.
Now, Old Master Lancer only hoped that the news of Lancer Corporation stopping cooperation with the research institute after participating in the research would not leak out.
If it got out, it might affect the reputation of the Lancer family.
"There are hundreds of medicinal materials used in this new drug.Rosalie canât find all the substitutes so quickly! There must be more she hasnât found, and she needs to cooperate with Lancer Corporation!"
Xander did not give up.
Looking at his persistent grandson, Old Master Lancer did not want to talk more about it.He shook his head tiredly.
"Iâm too old to control you.As the heir of a medical family, you care too much about profits, and it might bring you down one day!"
Then, he headed upstairs with the help of his walking cane.
Downstairs, Xanderâs gaze turned cold.
He felt his grandfather was getting too old to judge things.
The Lancer family had firm roots now.
Lancer Corperation was also a magnate that companies in the industry adored.
However, it was pointless.
That was only a worthless reputation.
On the contrary, the Lancer family had to pay for a lot of energy and financial resources every year just to maintain this reputation.
If this continued, the Lancer family would face bankruptcy.
They did not need the reputation anymore! What the Lancer family needed now was money! All they needed was profit!
