Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354: That’s a Bit Ruthless

"You’re investing in both at the same time?" Jim Perry asked, puzzled.

"Yes," Charles Seymour replied confidently, "Both are very valuable."

Jim Perry sat down, glanced over, and frowned: "Boss, the products of these two companies don’t overlap... Are you casting a wide net?"

These two companies are one domestic and one foreign; the boss is not missing a chance neither at home nor abroad.

Charles Seymour shot Jim Perry a glance, the disdain in his eyes making Jim feel stung.

Business is business, don’t bully people like this.

He admits, his brain isn’t as outlandishly sharp as his boss’s, but shouldn’t his boss rely on his talent to intimidate him like this?

"The products of these two companies are among the high-end consumables," Charles Seymour patiently explained, "Both are ambitious and strive for perfection."

"Besides the regular consumables, they are developing even higher-end products."

"So, the profit potential for these two is even greater." Jim Perry nodded in understanding.

That’s definitely true; take the simplest example, like dentures: different materials have different prices, the high ones are really high, and the low ones are really low.

The profit there is pretty substantial.

Not to mention, other medical consumables?

"Boss, you truly have foresight." Despite his internal grumbling, Jim Perry genuinely admired his boss.

"For you to have selected these two companies, it’s really..."

Jim Perry’s words of praise hadn’t finished when Charles Seymour interrupted him: "Both companies supply consumables to the Chapman Family."

"Huh?" Jim Perry was stunned, hearing this... Something seemed amiss.

"These two are the best in the industry. The Chapman Family’s hospital consistently chooses their consumables. The Chapman Family runs private hospitals, and naturally, the patients they receive are either wealthy or noble. Those who can afford treatment at the Chapman Family hospital obviously wouldn’t mind the cost; they want the best."

Charles Seymour’s words left Jim Perry nodding in a daze; of course, the boss wasn’t wrong.

"But, boss, why invest in them? They provide consumables to the Chapman Family hospitals, doesn’t that take an independent stance?" Jim Perry asked in confusion.

"My investment condition is that they don’t collaborate with the Chapman Family hospital." Charles Seymour’s lips curved into a slight smile, sending a chill through Jim Perry.

"Boss, that’s a bit ruthless." Jim Perry had already silently begun to sympathize with the Chapman Family.

Developing new products for precision consumables requires significant initial investment, and these two companies absolutely have no reason to refuse the boss’s funds.

Moreover, the boss’s so-called condition isn’t really a condition for these two companies.

There are private hospitals worldwide, not just the Chapman Family.

With so many hospitals domestically and abroad, medical consumables and hospitals have a mutually beneficial relationship.

If public hospitals change to a different provider for consumables, they just switch; after all, the average salary earners wouldn’t choose the most expensive and best.

However, the Chapman Family hospitals are different.

If the Chapman Family hospitals don’t provide the best for their patients... Would those patients still go to the Chapman Family’s hospital?

The answer is certainly no!

In this way, the number of patients at the Chapman Family hospitals would dwindle, and their hospital would be close to shutting down.
