Matthew asked curiously, “What’s the plan?”
Stanley only revealed it to him after some hesitation, “You can take part in the medical conference as the
representative of Eastcliff. However, this requires more effort from us because we have to convince the
Eastcliff Medical Association to support you to be the representative of the city.”
“I have no idea at all about the existence of such an organization in Eastcliff,” Matthew replied.
Stanley chuckled and imparted, “This organization has already been in existence for a very long time and
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is also one of its members. The organization used to be managed by the
Watkins Family, who used to be one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff.
However, ever since the Watkins Family went through a bloodbath because of Master Newman, the
organization has been operating without a leader up until now.
As the wealth and business owned by the Watkins Family are shared by the other nine families, the
Eastcliff Medical Association is considered to be co-managed by the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff.
Therefore, if you want to gain the support from the organization, you will have to convince all the Ten
Greatest Families to support you too.”
Matthew put on a frown looking distressed because his relationship with the Ten Greatest Families of
Eastcliff had not been too pleasant ever since what happened between him and the Jacksons. It might
be an uphill task trying to get the support from all of them at this juncture.
After pondering over it for some time, Matthew spoke in a solemn tone, “We have to give it a try in any
case. Please help me gather the people of the Ten Greatest Families, because I’d like to have a
discussion with them myself.”
Stanley nodded his head and agreed, “I’ll do that. But Mr. Larson, I hope you don’t expect too much from
this method because it’s highly unlikely to work. Every year, the Eastcliff Medical Association is capable
of raking in two to three billion of profit for the Ten Greatest Families.
If they were to supportyou, it means that they would have to set themselves against the Hughes Family.
Furthermore, if the Hughes Family decides to suspend the activity in the medical industry of Eastcliff, the
one who will lose all that profit is the Eastcliff Medical Association. I’m sure the Ten Greatest Families
won’t be willing to give up such a lucrative business!”
Right after Travis left the ballroom following the end of the banquet, Stanley immediately rushed off to
approach the masters of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. He gathered them in a big private room
and gave them an account of Matthew’s intention.
As soon as he finished his statement, one of the masters snapped furiously, “Stanley Carlson, is there
something wrong with your mind? Do you want the Eastcliff Medical Association to make itself an enemy
to the Hughes Family?
Do you have any idea that they are controlling the profit distribution in the medical industry of Eastcliff?
Once we make them angry, all our drugs and medical equipment won’t be marketable in other cities!
This is a business involving a revenue of over tens of billion and it concerns the survival of the drug
manufacturing companies, medical equipment companies, medical organizations and chinese herbs
companies of various sizes in Eastcliff!
Do you want all these companies to go insolvent just to let Matthew participate in the medical conference
this time?”
Stanley looked embarrassed because he understood very well what the consequences of the plan was.
“Gentlemen,” he stressed at the top of his lungs, “I understand what all of you are thinking. But, have you
guys actually thought about the possibility of us emerging as the winner in the medical conference?
If we actually won, how much from the medical resources in the six states would be allocated to
Eastcliff? We will be talking about a business which is worth up to or more than several hundred billion
instead of only ten billion!”
Everyone inside the room roared with laughter right after he said that.
“Stanley Carlson, I think it’s about time you book an appointment with a doctor. What actually happened
that turned you into a mad man? Winning at the medical conference? How are we going to win? Are we
going to rely on Mr. Larson here?
Don’t you have any idea that the medical conference is going to be participated by superb doctors from
all the six states? Even Mr. Harrison, who has been working closely with you, is just a nobody in the
medical conference. What makes Matthew Larson special?” one of the masters of the Ten Greatest
Families challenged.
Stanley proclaimed determinedly through gritted teeth, “I believe in Mr. Larson’s medical skills! If he gets
to participate in the medical conference, I am sure he can bring us victory!”
Another master sneered, “You believe him? If I am not mistaken, he used to be just a toilet cleaner at the
hospital.
Do you think he’s a prominent man who lives in seclusion? This ain’t no fairy tale!” His remarks made
everyone burst with laughter once again.
