Chapter 57 34. New drug development (3)

“Health functional food is very easy to register for sale because the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety prescribes that ‘these and these substances can be used in dry food’.”

“i See.”

Instead of me, Ari actively stepped forward and responded to Park Tae-jin’s explanation. Park Tae-jin fell in love with Ari’s innocence and worked hard to explain.

“Nutrition can freely mix 28 kinds of ingredients such as vitamin A and beta-carotene, and functional ingredients can freely mix 60 kinds of foods such as ginseng and red ginseng. As long as you don’t get sick because you’ve eaten in a nutshell, you’ll get a sales license right away. That’s because it’s classified as a food, not a drug.”

“Wow. By the way, what happens if the products that Junhyeok will make are not included in that list?”

“…then we have no choice but to review it from the beginning. If a substance is classified as a drug, it must go through a strict review process by the Food and Drug Administration.”

“Don’t worry, the medicine I will make is made with all 88 ingredients classified as health functional foods by the Food and Drug Administration.”

“all right.”

After reading the health functional foods that Park Tae-jun brought, I carefully checked the ingredients.

‘Actually, it’s not the ingredients that matter, but my magic.’

It didn’t matter what the ingredients were. It’s just a shell anyway. In the end, what was important was the difference between whether or not my magic was inhabited by it.

‘I should establish a factory to manufacture Matop Pharma’s medicines, and put a pylon with a magic circuit in it. That’s why we link them with manufacturing machines one by one to manufacture special drugs.’

The ingredients are the same. Instead, only wizards can see the magic that has permeated the drug.

People without any ability could not see the flow of magic.

To see the flow, you need to be ‘awakened’.

Awakening had to go through a long period of professional and systematic training in order to feel the magic floating in the air, and it was impossible to feel it for the rest of my life without natural talent.

‘It must be the case in another world, but in today’s busy world, it goes without saying.’

I assure you, there will not be a single person on the planet who can read the magical energy I have engraved into medicine.

It’s a secret that only I know, and all the experts called me are attached to it, so it’s like they’ve analyzed the drugs I’ve made, so I’ll have to disassemble them and point them under the microscope.

Rather, it would be surprising and absurd to have such a result with the same ingredients as other health foods.

‘It is time to liberate the people who have suffered from quacks.’

It was something no one could have realized.

But I was able to. I have already changed myself and the people around me, and in the future, I will change my country and the entire people, and furthermore, I will change the world.

“Here, Junhyeok. But, where do you plan to manufacture drugs? Do you have any OEM companies in mind?”

“What is OEM?”

“It is a consignment production company that produces products according to the customer’s request, attaches the orderer’s trademark, and delivers. Simply put, it refers to a company that makes medicines developed by Junhyeok.”

“Can you make it for me?”

“Yes. When an OEM company puts an order to the factory that they want to make this kind of medicine, they manufacture the medicine as ordered and hand it over to us. Of course you have to pay.”

“Can’t we just make it ourselves?”

“Do you have a factory?”

“You can buy one.”

“·················ogue.”

At my words, Park Tae-jin made a blank expression for a moment and then asked.

“How ready are you?”

“I have enough money up to 1 trillion won, so I don’t have to worry about money. We don’t make semiconductors, and we don’t need expensive factories, right?”

“Joe 1?”

Park Tae-jin’s expression quickly rotted.”Hahaha. i See. I didn’t know Junhyuk’s scale for a while.”

“Now that I know, that’s it.”

– Crazy bastard.

Such thoughts ran through Park Tae-jin’s head, but I did not pretend to know.

It was fun because it seemed like I was secretly voyeuristically looking for something like that.

“Usually, cheap factory sites cost a few thousand won to tens of thousands of won per pyeong, while expensive ones often go up to tens of millions of won per pyeong, and sometimes even in the billions.”

“Then it will take a lot of time from building to production?”

“It should take at least one or two years. If you add the time to design and produce the product, it will take 4-5 years for full-scale sales to begin…”

“what?”

“······ Or it seems possible to take over an existing factory and produce it right away…”

“That would be nice. Even if it costs a little more, let’s go.”

“Yes.”

I didn’t want to take care of each and every detail of the price. I wanted to start as early as possible, even if I became a hogu for a while, because it is clear that even if I lose a little bit, I will make up for it soon after the sale starts.

‘After all, time is money, so there’s no harm in spending a few more pennies right now.’

After listening to Park Tae-jin, tens of thousands of pills a day can be printed even with just 100 pyeong.

“If you take over a factory, you will be able to start production right away if you buy the items on sale at a low price and replace the equipment a little. Because health functional foods lose their approval quickly, if we want to make dry food with these and these ingredients, we can produce them right away.”

“How much can a factory live?”

“You can probably buy a pretty decent factory for around 5 to 10 billion won.”

“Then I’ll just buy one and try it out, and if it’s not enough, I’ll add one more later.”

“Yes. I will.”

I told Park Tae-jin that if there was a good pharmaceutical factory, he should watch it with a hawk eye and contact Yoo Pil-jun, the chairman of Daedong Group.

‘At this point, Daedong Group is also stepping into the pharmaceutical industry.’

I was thinking about starting a pharmaceutical company under my own name… I just put Pil-Jun Yoo as the vice president, so I decided to just develop pharmaceuticals from behind.

‘Let’s leave the troublesome work to others. Because there are plenty of people who can do that anyway.’

I just had to do things that others couldn’t. I didn’t have to spend my time doing things that others could do.

Because, I was the only wizard in this world. It was enough to just pay attention to constructing magic according to my duty, and let the results come out as I planned.

‘When you look at it like this, it looks like the black screen I saw in a cartoon or movie….’

I was actually doing a good job, but somehow I felt like a blackout.

“And Park Tae-jin.”

“Yes.”

“How long are you going to be in the hospital?”

“Yes?”

“How much do you get? at there.”

“Are you talking about your salary? After tax, I get 150 million.”

“i See. So, if I give you 300 million won, would you like to work for me?”

“300 million?”

“why? Write it down?”

“no. I’m going to blow up the hospital tomorrow.”

“Hahaha. You are hot.”

“Are you really paying twice my salary?”

“I’ll pay you right away tomorrow. Don’t neglect to pay in advance instead. So… you know what happens?”

“······Yes. I know.”

“And, if any of your fellow doctors or pharmacists come with you, bring them along. We will pay you twice as much as your salary, and the working conditions will be the best in the industry.”

“······all right.”

In Park Tae-jin’s head, the thought, ‘Are you trying to gather all those elites to make a dry meal?’, but I didn’t care.

‘It’s a business that has enough money to spend 10 billion won a year for labor costs anyway.’

Wouldn’t it be a 1000-fold profit if you receive several tens of won worth of raw materials, which is 1,000 times that amount?

At least 10 billion units of that product would be sold in the future, but it was a business that made more than 30 trillion won by simple calculations.

Of course, it had to sell that much, but even if it didn’t sell, it wasn’t that much of a loss.

‘Because no money is going out of my pocket anyway. I will use all the money from the Daedong Group.”

Daedong Group’s total group sales exceed KRW 2 trillion annually. There was no problem of running out of funds right away, as the company had tens of billions of dollars in reserves.

‘I should invest all the money I earn at Daedong Group in pharmaceutical companies. After all, the company’s reserves were used for the owners’ self-interest, but I think it’s okay if I use it for a better place.’

It was all about making the world better and more beautiful.

The Chairman of the Daedong Group will fully understand.

With that in mind, I decided to entrust everything to Tae-Jin Park, Pil-Jun Yoo, and James Park.

“Then go ahead. You must be busy.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Park Tae-jin felt sorry for leaving, and he licked his lips again and shrugged Ari. If he had been with me, he would have pulled out a hundred times even if he left quickly, but again, Ari’s power was great.

Her beauty overcame her fear of me!

“Then let’s go.”

“Bye.”

“Yes, hello to you, Ari.”

For a moment, at Ari’s bright greeting as if her room was getting brighter, Park Tae-jin forced the door open with an expression that he didn’t want to go.

“Wow, Junhyuk-san, you are really amazing.”

“What?”

“When did you invite someone like that in advance?”

“I was just lucky.”

“Ah, humility.”

“It’s true.”

I was really embarrassed. Park Tae-jin What’s so pretty about that guy, so I’m the first to go out and beg?

I was just trying to get rid of the bandits in the house, so I just stopped at her feet and trampled her down. After that, he was obedient to me as a punishment for his sins and only used it in places like this.

It was nothing more, nothing less. Park Tae-jin was a guy who had nothing to say even if he used it like that.

‘From the first impression, he was a very dirty guy.’

Come to think of it, it was a really dirty affair, but somehow it just worked out.

‘If you work hard at something that really helps me, I can unlock Parasite.’

I am a generous person If he knew how to sincerely repent of his sins and was willing to reflect and change, he could have just overlooked one mistake and passed on it.

“Mr. Ari.””Yes?”

As Ari looked at me and smiled softly, I grabbed her hand.

“·················ogue.”

It felt as if I was touching soft dough as I grabbed her cute, white hand that was resting on the table.

“I want to go to that college.”

“University?”

Ariga, who had suddenly tilted her head as if she was wondering what that meant, nodded her head with an ‘Ah’.

“I heard from Jinwoo. Did you make a bet with your relatives during Chuseok?”

“Yes. I bet on getting first place in the nation in this entrance exam.”

“I have less than two months left for the SAT exam, is it possible to get first place in the country?”

“Ari, don’t you believe me?”

I playfully grabbed Ari’s hand and bit it lightly with her mouth.

“Aww!”

Ari was startled and quickly pulled her hand away, and her eyes fluttered open. I laughed out loud because it was so funny.

“Of course I do. You are our president. But still… well…”

Ari thought for a moment, then suddenly a good idea came to her, and she smiled and opened her mouth.

“Mr. Junhyeok. Then, shall I teach you?”

“Are you tutoring?”

“Yes. After all, I am from Korea University. The department is the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.”

“I’m going to study medicine after wanting to go to college, will you be okay?”

“I’m also a science major, so it’s okay.”

“How does Ari Jewelry Shop work?”

“There are a lot of other people who work for me.”

“i See.”

When I heard that Ari was offering tutoring, I got a little sarcastic.

Wouldn’t such a melancholic situation come out like in the past tutoring movies for people of the same age? such imagination.

“Then I will call you teacher from now on.”

“Student, good luck. I get scolded if I fall asleep in class.”

“Hahaha.”

Ari came up to me and patted his shoulder, admonishing me like that. I added a word to ease her burden a little.

“And, Daedong Group will invest in Ari Jewelry Shop.”

“What do you mean all of a sudden?”

Ahri looked at her with her broad smile on her face, her expression quickly cooling down and glaring at me. She knew herself and her brother-in-law’s group so well, her expression on her face was why she said that.

“Daedong Group tried to kidnap us before, right? So I met the president there and came to negotiate.”

“What kind of discussion?”

“It was the same as with The Godfather Cheetah. I scolded him and took her company. So now Daedong Group is my company. His name is Pil-Jun Yoo, and that guy is just the boss.”

“Yes???”

“So, for the next 10 years, Daedong Group will invest 10 billion won a year in Ari Jewelry Shop. Do you know?”

“··········!”
