Chapter 44 Wonderzac Group
It had been a busy night. It was already one o'clock in the morning when he returned to Vanessa's house.
However, it was still illuminating the small courtyard of the Sue family. Lauren had calmed down and Vanessa was talking with her. The two girls could now get to know more about each other because of Zachary. Maxwell asked Zachary to go to the study room so that he could ask him about what happened. Zachary told Maxwell about the incident briefly. He left out some dangerous parts in order to make him feel more at ease. Knowing that everything was fine, Maxwell let Zachary leave to see Lauren. Staring at Zachary's back, Maxwell sighed softly, "It seems that Zachary is quite popular with girls. Vanessa will have to work harder."
Zachary came to Lauren's room. Vanessa greeted him with a smile she she prepared to leave, but her eyes betrayed her disappointment.
Although Zachary had sensitive senses, he didn't know much about girls and didn't notice anything out of ordinary about Vanessa. However, Lauren did. She grabbed Vanessa's hand, "Vanessa, don't go. It's not good to leave me with a man!" Zachary briefly told the two girls about what happened just now. Of course, he cut out some violent part of the story.
It was getting late. Lauren slept in Zachary's room whereas he slept in the guest room.
Zachary got up early the next morning. He found that Lauren was already awake when he was exercising. "Good morning, Zach!"
She was smiling charmingly, moving around as gorgeous as usual. It seemed that she had recovered. Zachary had to admit that this woman was really strong. She could be fine just one night after that incident happened.
Lauren spent the morning in Maxwell's house calmly without any rush to leave. However, Logan and Janet rushed over with extremely obvious dark circles under their eyes. It seemed that they didn't have a good sleep last night.
Lauren looked at them in surprise as they knelt down and apologized to her. They even brought the approved resignation letter to Lauren. This matter had finally come to an end.
At last, both of them left in trepidation under Zachary's cold gaze.
As for Lauren, she was in a better mood after this. She began to discuss the plan to establish a company with Zachary.
Lauren had different ideas. She didn't choose the modified formulation Zachary had made to produce the refining ointment. On the contrary, she asked Zachary to divide the available formulations into three levels for her, based on the preciousness of the ingredients and the pharmacological effect of the refining ointment.
The refining ointment made of the formulation which had the cheapest cost was suitable to be sold to the public. The price was set at 800 yuan by Lauren. Although it was not cheap, it was much better than many health supplements sold in the market in terms of effectiveness.
The refining ointment made of the second formulation which involved a higher cost consisted of several precious herbs. Consequently, the pharmacological effect would be better, and the price was set at 5, 800 yuan. The target customers were those in the medium class with a certain economic standing.
As for the high-end product, more precious herbs were involved. The price was set at 38, 000 yuan. The target customers would definitely be the wealthy people.
According to Lauren's plan, a limited number of supreme products would be produced after establishing the wellness center. The cost of the supreme product that used the best materials would be sold at 180, 000 yuan and it would be a limited supply. However, this was the plan for later and it was not their main focus at the moment.
Zachary, who knew nothing about business, handed over all these planning to Lauren.
Lauren was really a strong businesswoman. Her work efficiency was doubled after she resigned from the TV station. Thus, the new company had been established in less than three days. She named the new company "Wonderzac Group". She even got him a Physician's Qualification Certificate.
Lauren used her connections to rent several offices near the wellness center they went to last time as their new company.
The most important aspect of establishing this company was the manufacturing process of the products. Although Zachary had more than two million yuan and Lauren also had some savings, a few million yuan was definitely enough to establish an ordinary business.
However, their capital was just a drop in the bucket for the pharmaceutical and health supplements industry. Establishing a company in this industry would usually cost tens of millions or even billions of yuan.
It was impossible for them to build a new factory and establish an assembly line. Therefore, the most practical plan at the current stage was to look for the production units of small pharmaceutical companies to help them.
Such a matter was trivial and annoying. Zachary was totally confused. Fortunately, he had Lauren to help him. She talked to the representatives of several small pharmaceutical companies in Ludington City. After half a month, she managed to hire a supplier at the low price of two million.
They had been busy for a month and everything was finally settled. The factory would be ready for production at any time.
At the same time, Alan Wu, who was in the principal's office of Ludington Medical College, slammed the documents on the table and bellowed, "All of you are useless!"
"Principal Wu, please calm down. Although they are ahead of us, we still have a chance," Jimmy said cautiously.
"What chance do we have? I asked you to manage the factory issue, but there was no result at all. Wonderzac Group is going to start their production soon!" Alan was furious.
Alan couldn't get the formulation from Zachary. Therefore, he tried different methods to get it. In the end, He managed to get the formulation because the teacher on duty at the herb storage in the laboratory building had a copy of Zachary's formulation when he prepared the ointment that day. Alan was overjoyed.

On the second day after he got the formula, he asked Jimmy to settle a factory to prepare for production. However, Jimmy was just a teacher. Although Alan was influential, his influence was limited to the academic field only. Both of them were at a disadvantage if they had to negotiate about business.
Besides, they didn't want to let anyone else know about the formulation, fearing that it would be leaked out. Therefore, it was even more difficult for them to build their factory. Their final progress was not even as good as that of Lauren, who did everything alone.
After receiving the news that Lauren and Zachary had set up a company and were ready to produce the refining ointment, they panicked.
Alan's hopes to make a fortune from the refining ointment would vanish if Wonderzac Group took the lead to produce the refining ointment. Everyone in Ludington City knew Zachary was the original inventor. Alan's sales would not be good if Wonderzac Group mass-produced the ointment before Alan did.
Thinking about the hundreds of millions of yuan slipping through his fingers, Alan grew angry and anxious.
Seeing that Alan had calmed down slightly, Jimmy said carefully, "Principal Wu, it's too late for us to build a factory now. But, we can definitely produce the refining ointment before Wonderzac Group if we cooperate with other big pharmaceutical companies in Ludington City."
"Cooperation?" Alan frowned. He had thought about cooperation, but most of the profit would belong to the pharmaceutical company if they did that.
"Principal Wu, we might not be able to make any money at all if we keep on delaying," Jimmy knew what Alan was thinking. He kept on persuading him, "Besides, we can discuss the sharing of the profit with the pharmaceutical companies to control how much we can get for each bottle of refining ointment sold. Although it is not as good as opening a factory by ourselves, it is much better than selling the formulation directly. A lot of laboratories abroad collaborate with big pharmaceutical companies this way as well."
After thinking for a moment, Alan admitted that this was the best way. He nodded and said, "Let's do as you said. Contact the pharmaceutical companies in Ludington City."
"Okay, I'll do it right away," Jimmy said flatteringly. Then, he left the principal's office.
