Chapter 1652

As he thought about it, Ichiro could not help but feel a little guilty deep inside.

He felt that sense of guilt because it would seem equivalent to him giving away his father’s entire life’s worth of hard work.

An old Oskian saying—the younger generation, heirs inheriting their predecessor’s assets, would not feel any heartache when selling off everything the previous generation had worked so hard for. It was because they did not know or understand the hardships of their predecessors. However, this saying was directed at the prodigal son. Although Ichiro was not very capable, he could not be regarded as that.

If he were really a prodigal son, then he would not have come to Oskia to participate in the Chinese Medicine Expo, and he would not have any thoughts or intentions of coveting Anthony’s magical pills.

The reason why he was so determined to get his hands on the magical pills was simply that he wanted to continue developing Kobayashi Pharma so that Kobayashi Pharma could reach the peak and stand at the top of the world.

To sum it up, he simply wanted to help his family to continue flourishing and reach even greater heights.

However, it looked as though Kobayashi Pharma would be soon ruined by his own hands.

Ichiro could not help but feel extraordinarily sorrowful and depressed but decided that it might not be such a bad thing after much thought.

After all, he also knew about the popularity of the Apothecary Stomach Pill now. Judging from the powerful medicinal effects and the Apothecary Stomach Pill’s efficacy, it would indeed become the best-selling medication in the world in the future.

Even if Charlie did not take over Kobayashi Pharma at this point, Ichiro knew that Kobayashi Pharma would also go downhill at some point in the future.

If Kobayashi Pharma made an all-out effort to produce the Apothecary Stomach Pill after the change of ownership, it would surely be able to create enormous wealth and profits worldwide. At that time, he might even be able to make more money by merely owning ten percent of the shares in Kobayashi Pharma.

As he thought about this, Ichiro started to feel a little more at ease.

…

Two hours later, Charlie’s private jet finally landed in Tokyo Airport.

After completing and going through all the immigration procedures, everyone finally exited the airport. The subordinates arranged by Isaac were already waiting for them outside the airport.

They were all driving identical Rolls-Royce.

In Japan, a Rolls-Royce was a rarity as compared to in Oskia.

It was mainly because most Japanese chose to purchase domestic brands as they were cheaper, hence a lot more affordable for many.

Imported cars such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and even Rolls-Royce rarely appeared on Japan’s streets. So, this fleet of Rolls-Royce certainly caught a lot of attention at the airport.

Isaac personally opened the door to a Rolls-Royce for Charlie. After Charlie got into the car, Isaac went to the other side to get into the car before he asked Charlie, “Young master, where should we head to first?”

Charlie replied, “Head directly to Kobayashi Pharma’s headquarters.”

Isaac replied, “Young master, I looked into the situation of Kobayashi Pharma before this. To be honest, their family situation is indeed a little complicated. I am afraid that if we were to bring Ichiro over there just like this suddenly, it would be very difficult to convince the lot.”

Charlie flashed a small smile as he replied, unperturbed, “The more complicated the situation is, the more quickly I would have to act to get rid of this messy situation. I am here to make money, not to befriend any of them. Do you expect me to slowly take my time and win over every one of the Kobayashi family members?”

Isaac was still a little worried as he replied respectfully, “Young master, no matter what it is, Kobayashi Pharma is still a large corporation worth more than one hundred billion dollars. I am just afraid that Ichiro’s distant family members would have already set their eyes on Kobayashi Pharma and are all prepared to covet it. In their eyes, Ichiro is already dead and Jiro has already disappeared. So, it would be the perfect opportunity for them to try to take control of Kobayashi Pharma for themselves. Perhaps, they have already started to divide the shares of Kobayashi Pharma internally amongst themselves. If we are going to gain control of Kobayashi Pharma so abruptly, I am afraid that we’ll be up against really strong resistance…”

Charlie continued to smile calmly. “From a legal standpoint, no one can stop Ichiro from reclaiming Kobayashi Pharma. If anyone in the Kobayashi family is not convinced and tries to come up with some parlor tricks, then I will just make use of this opportunity to deal with the rest of their family members!”
