Sun Qingdai proceeded without delving further into this matter, and instead said:

"It is an undeniable fact that all products from Mountain City Pharmaceutical cannot compete with Oriental Pharmaceutical's products in the market."

"However, Mountain City Pharmaceutical has enough friends, enough capital, and enough partners."

"Oriental Pharmaceutical requires factories, production equipment, workers, and raw materials to manufacture medicines."

"The hidden Sun family has sufficient capability to create considerable trouble for Oriental Pharmaceutical in these four aspects."

"As one of the largest pharmaceutical groups in China, we can, to the greatest extent, increase the production costs for Oriental Pharmaceutical, or even leave them without enough raw materials."

Sun Qingdai wasn't joking with Su Fan, and she almost pointed directly at the weaknesses of Oriental Pharmaceutical.

As a burgeoning company, Oriental Pharmaceutical lacks sufficient and reliable partners for medicinal raw materials and doesn't have its own medicinal planting base.

No matter how plentiful the funds or advanced the technology, the growth of medicinal plants also requires time.

You can't plant medicinal herbs in the ground today and harvest them tomorrow.

Mountain City Pharmaceutical Group, as one of China's largest pharmaceutical enterprises.

Has deep friendships with most of China's medicinal planting bases and suppliers.

Su Fan is tough to deal with, and so is the hidden Sun family.

If it really comes to making these people choose sides, there's a high chance they'd line up with the hidden Sun family.

Oriental Pharmaceutical can offer high prices to purchase the medicinal materials in their hands, and so can the hidden Sun family, neither side lacks money.

After Sun Qingdai finished speaking, Su Fan immediately understood.

If things really reached this point, it would be a tremendous blow to Oriental Pharmaceutical.

No matter how good Oriental Pharmaceutical's products are, without raw materials, these medicines cannot be produced.

For a moment, Su Fan could only helplessly look at Sun Qingdai and asked, "What does the hidden Sun family want?"

Sun Qingdai smiled and said, "The pharmaceutical market is enormous, and Oriental Pharmaceutical doesn't need to drive Mountain City Pharmaceutical to extinction."

"Of course, Mountain City Pharmaceutical also doesn't need to block Oriental Pharmaceutical's financial path."

"Within a radius of fifty miles from the existing stores and stores of downstream companies of Mountain City Pharmaceutical Group, Oriental Pharmaceutical should not get involved."

The medicines from Mountain City Pharmaceutical cannot compete in the market against those from Oriental Pharmaceutical.

But it doesn't matter; they simply won't compete head-to-head with Oriental Pharmaceutical.

The sales channels for Mountain City Pharmaceutical Group are through self-operated stores, downstream cooperative enterprise stores, and overseas markets.

For the places where they've already taken root, they're quite confident.

As long as Oriental Pharmaceutical's products do not enter within fifty miles of their stores, their interests won't suffer significant losses.

Sun Qingdai's request is not excessive, but Su Fan is somewhat unwilling to agree.

Because Oriental Pharmaceutical's products are unbeatable in the market.

Nodding now would mean conceding a portion of his interests.

But he can't refuse either, as Mountain City Pharmaceutical utilized relationships and connections to purchase medicinal materials from major planting bases for the next three to five years.

Without raw materials, no matter how skilled they are, Oriental Pharmaceutical cannot work miracles.

Ultimately, Su Fan had no choice but to nod, although he didn't fully agree to Sun Qingdai's request: "Within two years, Oriental Pharmaceutical can adhere to your requirements."

Su Fan plans to use one to two years to establish his own medicinal planting base.

Once Oriental Pharmaceutical has its own medicinal planting base, they can handle the market as they see fit.

The negotiation between Su Fan and the hidden Sun family was basically successful.
