Richelle Dunn was used to these compliments, so she just smiled lightly.
“The world has a lot of gifted people, my children are just a bunch of mischievous kids.”
After saying this, she took the conference agenda handed to her by the young man, thanked him, and walked into the conference hall.
The first day of the conference was kicked off by the Pharmaceutical Bureau, setting the tone, allowing the industry’s prominent figures to discuss the industry situation and trends.
Because Richelle arrived the latest and, thanks to her extraordinary beauty and demeanor, the moment she entered, all eyes were turned to her.
“Isn’t that the new president of Lewis Group, Richelle Dunn?”
“It seems so, but I hadn’t heard that Lewis Group was planning to enter the pharmaceutical business.”
“I heard she also has another identity—as a doctor. Maybe they’ve invited her as part of the professional review panel.”
As a result, once Richelle entered the room, she glanced calmly at everyone seated at the round table, and naturally found a suitable spot to sit down in the applicant’s area.
Soon, the conference began, presided over by Mr. Gregory of the Pharmaceutical Bureau.
After his simple address, each pharmaceutical big shot started expressing their views, talking freely and openly.
Richelle, on this particular occasion, had no relevant industry content to share, so she simply listened, gathering some industry information for Timmy and Timothy.
Originally, Richelle was determined not to speak during the session.
However, nearing the end of the conference, after a pharmaceutical entrepreneur finished his speech, Mr. Gregory picked up the microphone and directly called out Richelle.
“Today, we have a special guest at our seminar. Now, let’s invite the president of Lewis Group, Ms. Dunn, to give us some insights into the market prospects.”
Sitting beside Mr. Gregory was Mr. Simon; it could almost be confirmed that Mr. Simon indeed had a grudge against Richelle.
Richelle also confirmed that Mr. Gregory definitely had a beef with Roy Lewis.
Richelle, whose name was unexpectedly called, stood up composed.
“Since Mr. Gregory values me so much, let me share my humble opinion.”
“In fact, the veteran pharmaceutical executives here have already given incredibly thorough analyses of the current situation and prospects. As an outsider, I’ll refrain from showing off my limited knowledge.”
At this point, Richelle paused.
A cunning smile appeared on Mr. Gregory’s face.
However, Richelle then continued to speak.
“From the perspective of an outsider, based on what I heard from the veterans’ analysis, I have a few simple questions that I feel compelled to ask.”
“Firstly, many seniors mentioned the fierce competition among similar pharmaceuticals in the industry. Often the first-generation product just hits the market when the second-generation one is already developed, greatly reducing the profit cycle. What if we directly produce a drug that others can’t develop into a second generation in a short time, doesn’t this lengthen the profit period?”
“Secondly, since the industry competition is fierce within the Federation, why not consider expanding to allied countries around the Federation, or even internationally?”
“Thirdly, since competition within the industry is intense and the space for survival is shrinking, why not try to expand into other related industries to enlarge the survival space?”
“These above are just the unprofessional views of an outsider, and I hope veterans will not take it as a joke.”
Had these utterances been from an unknown newbie, they indeed might have been laughed off.
But these words came from the new president of Lewis Group, whose reputation had already reached the public, even though she had recently taken up the position.
Moreover, many people present had heard rumors about this legendary Ms. Dunn. Aside from being an accomplished architect, she was also a formidable doctor.
As for how formidable? It’s rumored that some big shots in the Federation’s medical field can only wave their hands in surrender: “inexpressible, inexpressible.”
A person who is formidable yet inexpressible must rank highly indeed.
Many people present vaguely knew about these rumors.
As a result, Richelle’s three questions first rendered the room silent, but soon people began to ponder and found them reasonable.
Unknown who, someone took the lead in applause.
Richelle bowed amid the applause, then took her seat again.
Mr. Gregory’s face, just as before, remained cold and wooden.
When the applause subsided, he said one sentence.
“Ms. Dunn is truly an outstanding strategist, but the three questions you raised, while easy to say, are they not extremely difficult to implement?”
Richelle smiled, directly replying.
“What Mr. Gregory said is very correct. However, if everyone just chose the simple tasks, they shouldn’t complain about low profits, small spaces, and fierce competition.”
Mr. Gregory had no response to this. His face turning ill, he made an eye gesture to Mr. Simon sitting next to him, indicating for him to give a closing summary for the conference.
After the conference, Richelle planned to go straight back to the hotel that Roy Lewis had arranged for her.
However, several pharmaceutical bosses stopped her. After chatting for a while, they found they had a lot in common and were very pleased with each other.
They decided on the spot to book a private room in the hotel. Six or seven of them marveled at how much fun they were having, having dinner and chatting.
Roy Lewis, on the other hand, got the news right away from his bodyguard.
He was both pleased and brimming with jealousy.
Richelle, the girl, truly was loved by everyone, no matter where she went nobody could stand against her!
