However, Rose was a seasoned business queen who remained calm and composed in the face of pressure from the other party, showing no change in her facial expression.
Rose maintained her composure, but to Lilia’s eyes, she seemed more like she was pretending to be calm.
A cold smile appeared on her lips as she didn’t take Rose seriously at all.
If this were a few years ago when Rose controlled billions of dollars in capital for the Sharp’s Group, Lilia would have been constantly vigilant against any counterattacks from her.
But now that Rose was just the president of a small factory, how high could she jump even if she tried?
How could ants move mountains?
How could sparrows swallow elephants?
After Acebegron Clear Relief was officially released, investors flocked to it. In just over ten minutes, the Swanson’s Group received an investment of 15 billion dollars. Combined with the investment they received at the estate sale earlier on, they had raised a total of 23 billion dollars!
“With such strong support behind them,” one person said excitedly. “The Swanson’s Group has quickly raised over 20 billion! That is some serious pulling power!”
“I wonder what Energence Pharmaceuticals will release,” another person added skeptically. “I don’t think a small factory like theirs can produce anything impressive within such a short amount of time.”
“Ms. Sharp is really asking for trouble by releasing new drugs today…” someone else muttered under their breath.
Everyone present shook their heads and expressed pity while feeling regretful about how far this once-dominant business queen had fallen.
She struggled to keep her small factory alive and had to constantly watch others’ expressions while doing so.
“Mr. Swanson,” an impatient young man spoke up suddenly. “You’ve finished introducing your new drug; it’s time to talk about your celebrity spokesperson!”
“That’s right!” several other young people chimed in excitedly as they began making noise again. “The Swanson’s Group invited Joyland Entertainment. Which celebrity did you get?”
“The bigger the star you get for endorsement, the more rigorous testing their entertainment company will conduct regarding safety concerns related to endorsing pharmaceuticals.”
“In addition, the higher profile celebrities are also able to indirectly verify that this company has real strength behind it through its ability to afford them.”
As everyone below looked on expectantly, Braiden smiled slightly before turning towards Flynn and asking him, “Mr. Clark, I’ve finished introducing our new drug. Would you like some time?”
Braiden never took Rose seriously, let alone Flynn. He remained indifferent throughout the entire process.
Today, the Swanson’s Group officially released their new drug, and Energence Pharmaceuticals could only play second fiddle without posing any threat.
Flynn waved his hand nonchalantly and said coldly, “No need. Mr. Swanson, you can continue.”
His face was calm as if he were just going through the motions with no hint of emotion in his eyes.
“Great! Then I won’t be polite!” Braiden withdrew his gaze and looked down at the audience with a sense of pride, “The Swanson’s Group is focusing on Acebegron Clear Relief this year and has decided to invest one billion dollars in advertising for it. You will see it everywhere from subway stations to video portals to prime time TV.”
“Since Acebegron Clear Relief is our main focus this year, we will spare no effort in promoting it.”
“Therefore, the spokesperson for Acebegron Clear Relief is… Ostrad’s hottest superstar from Joyland Entertainment, Mr. Darren!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with exquisite looks and extraordinary temperament walked onto stage.
“Oh my god! It’s Darren, Ostrad’s highest paid actor with 200 million fans!”
“Darren charges at least 100 million dollars per endorsement deal with very strict conditions. I can’t believe the Swanson’s Group managed to get him here!”
“Darren has more popularity than Ricky before he retired; now there isn’t a star that can compare to him. He is synonymous with popularity!”
The crowd screamed excitedly; some girls were so overwhelmed they almost fainted.
Even fans of other celebrities weren’t disappointed when they saw that Darren was endorsing the product because after all, he was Ostrad’s most popular star. No one could compete against him!
“I bet the Swanson’s Group spent more than 100 million just to get Darren here! They are so rich!”
Madeline exclaimed in amazement while Scarlet nodded her head in shock, “Darren’s influence is unparalleled. After Ricky retired all luxury brands who previously signed contracts with Ricky went straight towards signing up Darren instead since everyone knows that nobody else possesses such popularity.”
“I guess the Swanson’s Group must have spent at least two 200 million just for him,” she said while looking down at the frenzy below them feeling somewhat worried about Flynn.
After they invited Ostrad’s top celebrity endorser, what did Energence Pharmaceuticals have left?
Braiden smiled and motioned for everyone to quiet down before continuing, “Mr. Darren will be staying in Niarak for one night and tomorrow he will shoot a short advertisement film with the famous healer, Garrett.”
“I believe that within a week, the name Acebegron Clear Relief will be known throughout the country, bringing hope of recovery to countless patients!”
His inspiring speech completely pushed the release of the new drug to its climax, and everyone stood up applauding.
Garrett appeared among them clapping and praised Acebegron Clear Relief as a miracle drug.
After seeing that Darren and Garrett were endorsing it, all concerns from distributors disappeared. They expressed their willingness to help distribute Acebegron Clear Relief.
Top-tier celebrity endorsements, a renowned healer’s endorsement, strong funding…
All these things proved that Acebegron Clear Relief had a bright future ahead of it and sales are guaranteed!
The bosses present all believed that this investment was profitable without any loss. They left Flynn on one side of the stage while chatting with Braiden.
Lilia saw this scene but turned her gaze towards Rose who remained calm. She sneered, “No wonder you didn’t personally host such an important event but instead sent your subordinates up there; you must have been afraid of losing face!”
Rose did not respond to Lilia’s words but calmly said, “The Swanson’s Group has invested heavily in Acebegron Clear Relief! Advertising and celebrity endorsements alone cost more than 1 billion dollars!”
“You’ll see advertisements for Acebegron Clear Relief everywhere you go over the next month! The Swanson’s Group has already released their new drug which received an investment worth 15 billion dollars! We’re about to sign contracts with three major distributors.”
“I don’t know what Clark is planning or how he plans on competing against the Swanson’s Group,” Lilia added mockingly.
Rose furrowed her brows slightly at Lilia’s words.
Since she had accepted Flynn’s help unconditionally, then she should trust him blindly too. But now things had developed so much that even Rose was starting to feel confused about whether Flynn could handle everything smoothly or not?
As the two chatted among themselves, Flynn also overheard their conversation. He narrowed his eyes and looked towards the exhibition hall entrance, where a dozen black Alphard vehicles were slowly pulling into the parking lot.
He glanced coldly at Lilia and a smirk formed on his lips.
“I, Flynn, on behalf of Ms. Sharp, will be hosting today’s new drug launch!”
