Chapter 1463 Ono Pharmaceutical

Pi Yangyang sensed something was wrong with her and followed her gaze, only to see people coming and going at the corner ahead.

He didn't see anything, so he asked, "Ms. Jiazi, what's wrong?"

Jiazi came back to her senses, shook her head, smiled bitterly and said, "Nothing, maybe... I saw it wrong."

It turned out that she had just seen a familiar figure, but it only flashed by, so she couldn't be sure.

The main thing is that the person she was thinking of should still be in China.

Pi Yangyang didn't care. Knowing that she might have seen someone familiar, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Let's go. The room I booked is in the front."

Jiazi pointed forward and led Pi Yangyang and others to a private room.

But he didn't expect that the familiar figure that Yoshiko had just seen looked very much like Hayato Tsunekawa.

After everyone sat down, Jiazi called the waiter and quickly took the order.

"Mr. Pi, I know you may not be familiar with our country J's cuisine, so I will take the initiative and give you some. If you are not satisfied with anything, just let me know. This hotel also has a Chinese chef..."

After ordering, Jiazi said to Pi Yangyang.

Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, "Miss Jiazi, you don't have to be polite. The guest should follow the host's wishes. Besides, since we are in Edo, we must try the local specialties."

Jiazi seemed to be relieved and said, "That's good."

It would take some time for the dishes to be served, and Pi Yangyang seemed a little curious and asked, "Ms. Jiazi, are you from Edo?"

Yoshiko said, "My hometown is Miyazaki. But when I was five years old, I moved to Edo with my parents. In a sense, this is my second hometown."

Pi Yangyang recalled the last time Jiazi was hunted down. She said at that time that the killers were sent by her brother.

He also found it strange. How could his own brother kill his own sister?

He thought for a moment and said, "I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it?"

Jiazi smiled and said, "Mr. Pi, feel free to ask whatever you want to ask. I will never hide anything from you."

Pi Yangyang's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "The last time you were hunted in Huaxia, you said it was a killer sent by your brother. Now that you're back in Edo, he didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Yoshiko's smile froze instantly, a trace of pain and resentment flashed in her eyes, and she did not answer immediately.

Seeing her like this, Pi Yangyang quickly said, "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer."

Jiazi turned to look at him, smiled bitterly and said, "It's not inconvenient."

Pi Yangyang remained silent, secretly regretting asking.

But Jiazi gradually calmed down and her expression returned to normal.

"You must be wondering why my own brother would send assassins to kill me, right?"

Instead of answering, Yoshiko asked back.

Pi Yangyang nodded, and even Chu Ge looked at Jiazi curiously.

He was also full of questions in his mind, but he didn't dare to speak easily.

“It all starts with my family…”

Jiazi thought about it before speaking slowly.

"My brother and I have the same father but different mothers. His mother died shortly after he was born. My father later married my mother and gave birth to me. When I was born, I stayed in the countryside until I was five years old, when I was taken to Edo..."

Only then did Pi Yangyang realize that Jiazi and her brother did not have the same mother.

"My father and a few friends founded Xiaoye Pharmaceutical, which has now grown into a group company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars. As the company has grown, Xiaoye Pharmaceutical has also been targeted by many people. In order to ensure that Xiaoye Pharmaceutical Group will not be eroded by other companies in the future, my father thought of marrying me to the Hengchuan family..."

Jiazi spoke slowly, and when she mentioned the Hengchuan family, a smile appeared on her face.

"Coincidentally, the person I am marrying is my childhood sweetheart. Moreover, I have always liked him..."

Hearing this, Chu Ge sighed inexplicably.

Pi Yangyang turned to look at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you sighing?"

Chu Ge spread his hands, moved his mouth, and finally said insincerely: "Nothing..."

Pi Yangyang looked at Jiazi again and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, isn't that a good thing?"

Jiazi sighed and said, "I originally thought it was a good thing, and I thought Hengchuan would be very happy. But... I was wrong..."

Her expression suddenly darkened, and she seemed a little lost.

Pi Yangyang was stunned, "What's wrong?"

"Hengchuan-kun is now focused on his career and is very cold to me, even..."

As Jiazi spoke, she suddenly shook her head and said in a somewhat confused tone, "Let's not talk about him anymore."

Pi Yangyang saw the worry and loss in her heart, and didn't know how to comfort her. After thinking for a while, he said, "Miss Jiazi is so beautiful, he doesn't know how to cherish her. It's his fault."

"Let's talk about my family." Jiazi seemed reluctant to continue discussing Hengchuan. After thinking for a while, she said, "My father asked me to marry into the Hengchuan family in order to find a backer. My eldest brother felt that if I married into the Hengchuan family, then our family's shares in Ono Pharmaceutical would definitely be handed over to me, so..."

Pi Yangyang couldn't help but burst out laughing. This was just another bloody plot of family feuds among the rich.

"In fact, I don't care about any shares, and I don't need any family property. But my brother doesn't believe in it. He only trusts his own judgment..."

Hearing this, Chu Ge couldn't help but say, "Is your brother crazy? He doesn't even believe his own sister?"

Yoshiko smiled bitterly and said, "After I returned to Edo, I told my father about the incident in China where I was almost assassinated. After all, Hisayama-kun lost his life because of me, so I had to tell him..."

Pi Yangyang felt a little depressed, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your father also guessed that it was your brother who did it, so he controlled him?"

"Yes, even if he doesn't control me, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me in Edo."

Kako said affirmatively.

Pi Yangyang asked in confusion: "Do you wealthy families really have to form marriage alliances?"

"There's no other way. If we don't find a strong backer, we will be targeted by some big financial groups and eventually be eaten up."

Yoshiko smiled bitterly again.

"Now, the Sanhe Group has set its sights on Ono Pharmaceutical and wants to acquire it. But the price they offer is less than one-tenth of Ono Pharmaceutical's actual market value..."

Chu Ge was startled and said in a lost voice: "So dark?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. The Sanhe Group controls most of the pharmaceutical market in Country J. Companies like Ono Pharmaceutical don't have much say in front of them."

Kako shook her head and said.

Pi Yangyang couldn't help but look shocked.

It is really hard to believe that a company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars has no say in front of the Sanhe Group.

"Actually, this is not the key point. The key point is that the Sanhe Group still wants us to produce their products. But my father and Uncle Ono disagree, so we have a very unpleasant quarrel with the Sanhe Group..."

Hearing this, Pi Yangyang's heart moved and asked: "Sanhe Group is a well-known large group in your country J. Why, are their products not good?"

Jiazi smiled disdainfully and said, "The Sanhe Group is very famous, but there is a saying in China that there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. The Sanhe Group has been expanding wildly in recent years and has absorbed many new companies. These companies are mixed, and some of them do not have a good reputation in the market.

"And they want to acquire Ono Pharmaceutical and actually want Ono Pharmaceutical to produce functional drinks. Isn't this... too outrageous?"

Pi Yangyang's eyes fixed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Energy drink?"

"Yes, it's called Red Elf Children's Educational Drink, and it's mainly sold in Asia, Africa and other regions..."

Jiazi thought about it and said with certainty.

Pi Yangyang almost jumped up, "Red Elf Children's Educational Drink?"

Seeing his expression, Jiazi was surprised and asked in astonishment: "You also know this kind of drink?"

Pi Yangyang's expression quickly relaxed, and he said calmly, "I've heard of it."

"My father said that the drink was just a gimmick and actually had no effect. He didn't want to make a deceptive product, so he couldn't reach an agreement with Sanhe..."

Jiazi didn't think much about it and nodded.

Pi Yangyang had a slight liking for Jiazi's father and said, "Your father's decision was right."

Jiazi said with a distressed look: "But... the Sanhe Group is pressing hard now, and my father may not be able to bear it any longer."

Pi Yangyang's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a low voice: "Don't worry, he can handle it."
