Parallel World Pharmacy
Chapter 9 Lesson 4: At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
July 1, 1152.
That day, Farma was dressed up and a little nervous, in the stage sleeve of the Opera Galenie, the opera house of the Imperial Capital.
To rent out the opera house and host the regular shareholders' meeting of the cross-world pharmacy group.
Three years ago, Alternative Pharmacy and its related stores were listed on the San Fleuve market as a group company at the request of various parties.
The venue is already full, and investors from all over the world are gathered to receive the call. There are also souvenirs from MEDIQUE's soap set.
"Dear shareholders, thank you very much for coming to the venue today. Chief Executive Officer (DG) My name is Pharma de Medicis. From now on, we will hold the 4th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Worldwide Pharmacy Group. All directors, auditors and executive officers are present today. After the business report, I will ask you a question."
Farma stands in the middle of the opera house in the spotlight and talks about what she calls a call notice, distributed in advance.
"I would like to explain the status of voting rights at today's general meeting. The number of voting rights exercisable by shareholders is……”
The Interworld Pharmacy Group grew rapidly, and attention was focused on each and every one of them.
Resume includes information such as company profile, store development status, and financial results.

Eight company auditors will inform us that the audit results are correct and appropriate, and that there are no indications.
Pharma reports on audited consolidated financial statements.
“I want to share with you the progress and results of our business. The Interworld Pharmacy Group was founded in 1145 as a public-private limited liability company under the patronage of His Majesty King Elizabeth II. Since its inception, it has developed stores as a high-publicity business responsible for local healthcare. At present, it is supported by the voices of customers in various regions of the world. The business scale up to the current period is 7 stores directly under the domestic administration, 4 stores in the healthcare sector, 819 stores in the domestic business support industry, and 136 stores in foreign partnerships."
Since listing, stock prices have been constantly soaring, making it the world's largest pharmaceutical company.
In the pharmaceuticals sector, the company was not allowed to follow other companies and became an oligopoly on the global market. Therefore, in other countries, the company was ordered to take precautionary measures under laws similar to antitrust laws.
The absence of competitors and the lack of options for patients and customers to buy medicines from other pharmaceutical companies was not a welcome development for Pharma.
I think that the teachers of Imperial Pharmaceutical University will become competitors independently, etc., but it seems that it will take some time for other companies to grow up because the pharmacists want to work for a pharmacy affiliate in a different world.
"Based on the medium-term growth strategy 1150-1155, we are currently working on continuous business expansion, improving corporate value, and overcoming individual business challenges as priority issues for the time being. The pharmaceuticals business was able to significantly reduce costs and reflect the cost of medicines by reducing transportation costs associated with the operation of each factory.”
The rapid expansion of the business is due to the fact that medicines from pharmacies in other worlds and the medical care provided by specialized pharmacists protect people's health and reliably free people from diseases that were once incurable in the world, such as black death, tuberculosis, and smallpox.
Because people around the world are seeing the benefits of reproducible medicines rather than flash, and are expecting quality healthcare and drug supply to continue.
For this reason, the nobility of the royal family threw their wealth and the common people spread their reputation.
If I went to a pharmacy in another world or a related store for medicine, I could expect a cure.
Every pharmacy in the world wants to store medicine from a different world pharmacy. Otherwise, the patient asks the shopkeeper to pack it up and put it in.
Without the medicine of the pharmacy of another world, no country could stand up to it.
Since pharmacies around the world play a central role in domestic and international medical infrastructure, most of the profits are channelled to capital reinvestment, research and development, and human resource development. In addition to the Merseil Plant, the empire's drug production base has invested private funds to build and operate the Octacinny Plant.
In addition, most companies and individuals do not keep large sums of money collected under Pharma as donations.
I look at my patients rather than investors or speculators and give back to them.
It also called for a further reputation.
Nonetheless, net profit was 26 times higher than in the previous quarter, a record high.
People are listening to Farma's words with a look like they are soaking in intoxication.
“As the group grows, our attitude shouldn't change. We will always focus on the needs and satisfaction of patients, and aim to improve the quality from the customer's perspective in order to deliver safe and high-quality medical care, pharmaceuticals, and medicines for general use. And, of course, we will also work to realize the Bien-être (Wellbeing) of the group members for the sustainable operation of the group.”
After that, the outline by business will be explained.
There was also a replacement for the staff of the head office of the other world pharmacy.
Currently, there are nine staff members.
Falma De Médicis
Chief Pharmacist Eleonora Bonnefoy
Amélie, First Class Pharmacist
Ralf Schärtel, First Class Pharmacist
Cédric Luneau, General Practitioner Legal and Administrative Officer
General Practitioner Renée
General Practitioner (Part-time) Charlotte Soller
Contact person Tom
Joining the new pharmacists are Ameri the First Class Pharmacist and Ralph Shelter the First Class Pharmacist from the Kingdom of Prosen.
He is a Pharma teacher graduated from the Imperial College of Pharmacy and Pharmacy, has received a formal education, and is qualified as a first-class pharmacist of the Saint-Fleuve Empire.
They are excellent pharmacists who have been hired to break through the narrow gates of recruitment examinations that have increased 135 times in the hope of finding a job at a pharmacy in another world.
The 22-year-old Ameri has full memory and is an ideal pharmacist with excellent written and practical skills.
It's popular with regular customers because it's blonde, purple-eyed, and slender.
There is an anecdote that everyone thinks they are the perfect person to yearn for, that they sleep randomly once a week, that they are in the habit of being late, that they cannot be interviewed by the pharmacy in the imperial capital, which is strictly on time, or that they have fallen into the streets during the trial period.
For this reason, the person's sense of self-affirmation is very low.
Farma hired me by saying, "I'll hire you on a flex-time basis, so if you come back when you wake up."
It seemed difficult to find a job outside of a pharmacy in another world, but by switching to afternoon shifts, I am working slowly. Ellen doesn't care much about her tardiness either.
Ralph, 23, is a young man with good glasses, purple hair, purple eyes, and a lot of female fans because of his height.
He cannot bear the after-effects of Guillain-Barre syndrome that he developed as an adult.
Guillain-Barre syndrome is an inflammatory polyneuropathy that causes neuropathy by 8 weeks after onset, muscle weakness, severe respiratory paralysis in severe cases, and life-threatening autonomic dysfunction.
80% recover by spontaneous healing without treatment, but about 20% may not recover from sequelae.
He still has 20% of his relaxed muscle weakness.
Farma also tried treatment, but has not yet recovered.
I adopted it because I don't have to carry such heavy things in my daily work.
Farma decides to prioritize pharmacists who have difficulty working, as long as they are good.
Rene, a 16-year-old general worker. I was accounting for a confectionery shop that delivered candy and wafers in the neighborhood of a pharmacy in another world, but the owner said that he was getting lost because he was elderly and was folding up the shop, so I adopted it.
Since René became a full-time artist, Lotte, who was extremely busy as a court painter, became a part-time worker at the Otherworld Pharmacy in order to get herself into the painting.
Cedric underwent prosthetic joint surgery from Agata and was finally relieved of osteoarthritis of the knee.
Recently, I was caught up in the Jeux-de-Pom, also known as Real Tennis, and on the weekends, I quickly went out on the court.
It seems that the poem mates were able to make it through the expedition, so it's customary to come home late at night with a cup of tea. His work is increasingly fulfilling, and he oversees the pharmacy's revenue and expenditure as the accounting director of the Pharmacy Group of the Otherworld. Farma is as reliable as ever in her steadfast work.
Roger, Sellst, and Rebecca each thrive with new stores in the form of goodwill sharing as shopkeepers at pharmacies across the world.
The directly managed shop is operated by a first-class pharmacist who has received direct education from Pharma and passed the certification examination. The house name is the same as the head office's "Alien Pharmacy".
3 employees of Roger De Buckel, owner of the Mare branch in the 13th district of the pharmacy of the other world.
Four employees of Selsto Buyer, owner of the Montsouri branch in the 14th ward of the pharmacy of the other world.
Rebecca Dutwa, the owner of the Leon branch in the 18th ward of the pharmacy of the other world, has three employees.
As a group company of pharmacies from different worlds, it has four brands.
The store owners of each brand also gathered in front of the front row at the shareholders' meeting in an understandable manner, and listened to Pharma's story explaining the management situation.
Cosmetics brand: Medique
The owner is Quitterie Arche, a first-class pharmacist from the aristocracy.
We are developing skin-friendly medicinal cosmetics by bundling married pharmacists who were cut off from their employers before giving birth. Mediek boasts a 35% share of the cosmetics market in Imperial City.
Oral Care Brand: 8020 (Quatre-vinghts-vingt)
The shopkeeper, Térence, was a young man who had been practicing as a civilian dentist in the Imperial Capital before he met Pharma, specializing in tooth extraction and oral surgery.
Immediately after I met Pharma, I changed the policy of removing teeth, focusing on treating tooth decay with stuffing and dental prophylaxis.
Sports and nursing products brand Vêtements.
The owner is Noémi, a popular haute couture designer who worked at the Saint-Fleuve Couture union. It is revolutionizing sporting goods by creating avant-garde and functional designs one after another.
Underwear brand Rivière du matin
The underwear brand currently has 14 stores in the empire, divided into male and female divisions.
Déborah (Deborah), head of the women's underwear department, is a civilian designer, and offers a wide range of luxury underwear to ordinary people's everyday underwear.
In addition to menstrual underwear that has never existed in the world before, they also handle menstrual items such as sanitary napkins.
Ethan, the head of the men's underwear department, is Deborah's younger brother's clothing artisan. Based on Pharma's opinions, Ethan made the men's underwear that was integrated with the shirt independent and improved it to be more comfortable.
The cotton inner and boxer pants are so shaped that they sell quickly and cannot keep up with production. It's a hit with underwear that can be worn under armor.
The Imperial Pharmacist Guild, the Imperial Pharmacist Guild, and the Imperial Pharmacy Guild have partnered with the main pharmacy of the other world.
The leader of the Imperial Guild of Physicians is Agathe Mélenchon.
The 84-year-old surgeon Agata has performed an average of 50 surgical operations per year, mainly gastrointestinal and oncology surgery, after overcoming cataracts at the age of 80. Because of the high success rate, the rose mansion of Agata has a long line of snakes, and surgery is also waiting for six months.
Both of them thrived as Imperial Capital's first town doctors, and they don't feel faded by their age.
Her disciples are gathered around her as before, and she has received an exceptional inheritance of procedure.
The leader of the Imperial Pharmacy Guild is Pierre, the pharmacy of dawn.
Pierre has successfully completed his career as the president of the pharmacy guild, supporting drugstores in the Imperial Capital and managing the distribution of medicines.
The pharmacists' guilds in other countries also ask for opinions and play the role of advisors.
She appears at a pharmacy in another world about twice a week on Farma's working day, and when she talks to Farma, she returns home with peace of mind. It seems that I feel indebted to Farma, who is not a benefactor of life, and my loyalty is higher than any pharmacist in the guild.
The leader of the Imperial Pharmacist's Guild is Juliette.
She has a different background among partners in the Otherworld Pharmacy Group.
He was the first apprentice of former guild leader Belon and had a store in Truze.
When the guild cadres died of infection with the Black Death, they were spared because they were not in the Imperial City and returned to the Imperial City to rebuild the guild.
When Juliette returned to the Imperial City, there was a succession of brain drain from the Pharmacist's Guild to the Otherworldly Pharmacy, and the remaining shops also suffered a sharp decline in medicines and traditional medicines that could be handled by the Emperor's Imperial decree and the crackdown from the temple.
Sales were scattered, and many people turned from poverty to alchemists, and the temporary guild was in danger of survival. To the point of crushing a traditional guild, Juliette decided to go under the umbrella of a pharmacy in another world. However, the shopkeeper, Pharma, wanted the survival of biopharmaceuticals and traditional medicines, and helped to develop effective potions by eliminating harmful ingredients and organizing recipes.
Now, supported by the patronage of traditional medicine users, it has been reborn into a traditional medicine store guild that citizens need.
Part of the Yakushi guild's sigil is a sigil motif that is a testament to its partnership with the Otherworldly Pharmacy.
There are a number of customers who come to the store with peace of mind after confirming that it is a partner store of a pharmacy in another world.
Juliette is now focused on developing a new herbal tea.
After finishing explaining each project, in a big ovation, in their excitement, Pharma sent a major resolution to the general meeting.
“I will now report back to you on the resolution. I, Pharma de Medicis, am leaving the position of Chief Executive Officer today, and I would like to report and make a resolution on the personnel proposal of the current CCO, Eleonor Bonufois, who will assume the position of Chief Executive Officer.”
The shareholders who were applauding Farma's announcement were suddenly knocked to the bottom of the Naraka.
Why, don't stop, don't bother, don't mess with me, don't kill me, and so on and so forth.
Pharma is also a charismatic manager in the pharmaceutical industry who cannot be pushed or pushed.
If Pharma leaves DG, the share price could collapse, business failure, and the share certificates of the Global Pharmacy Group could become scrap paper. There is no way that the shareholders will approve.
"I will continue to be a director as COO and back up the new DG."
The personnel proposal was voted against, but it was easily passed because Pharma acquired 35% of the shares and the proxy of Holy Emperor Elizabeth, who was in favor, held 33%. The Holy Emperor had his roots in advance.
Question flashes in a sad voice, mingling with rage.
"Why are you quitting now!"
“It's important to me because I want to focus on something else. It's temporary, so we may be able to come back in the future if the situation allows.”
Farma can only say that.
"Such irresponsible!"
"I'm not sure I might. Is that more important than the operation of a pharmacy in another world, and thus health care in the world?"
Yes.
Farma nods ready to criticize.
Still, the congregation was not convinced, and the shareholders' meeting was dissolved in chaos.
All executives are satisfied that the exit has already been communicated to the group executives.
After the curtains were lowered, Pierre called out to Farma, who was lowering into the stage sleeve.
There was a heavy atmosphere.
"It was definitely the opposite, but I support it. Charismatic managers are often unable to develop a good successor. If we are to stabilize the organization, I think it is not wrong to cultivate backwardness during climax. I didn't want to be in the Guild Leader, I wanted to do that.”
There are tears in Pierre's eyes.
"I wonder if it's okay..."
Ellen, who has been appointed to the new DG, has seen too much turmoil and turned pale.
Ellen would even feel unsafe, and the shareholders were confused.
Farma calls out to ease Ellen's goose bumps.
"In a few days, it'll settle down." If I guess, the day after tomorrow. "
“You must have dared to report it because you're so responsible, but it sounded like the end of the world to those gathered here today.”
I guess so.
"I trust you to come back."
"Yeah, I'll come back with my chest open."
Farma looked Ellen in the eye and expressed her determination.
Ellen nodded deeply and followed her words.
"Well, until then, I'll leave it to you." I'll keep it safe for everyone. "
Farma didn't clearly tell Ellen and the others why the change was happening.
Still, Ellen didn't ask why.
Even with maximum optimism, I had to get dressed.
In any order, they're all gone.
Preparing for the end is by no means sad.
If Farma suddenly disappears, what she has built could be dismantled.
That is why the procedure is necessary.
Today, Farma-sama did her best, so why don't you all go and launch?
Lotte made a proposal to read the real air in a wind that didn't read the air at all.
"Great, I want something sweet."
I agree! Let's mask it so that we don't find out about it.
"It's too suspicious."
The next day, the shares of the Otherworld Pharmacy Group plummeted 95% in response to news of the founder's retirement, decorating a side of the Imperial Capital newspaper.
Farma was notified of the murder, but Farma didn't care.
The next day, I was pressed to buy it and it returned to its original price.
