Li Chuan understood that once the Tricolor Pill became a hit, it would inevitably be copied by many competitors.
This was unavoidable, but he was not worried.
First, there were the technical barriers of the Tricolor Pill. The Red Pill came from the Body Strengthening Ointment, while the blue and Green Pills came from Ration Pills. None of these were products of this world. Without the formulas, cracking them and reproducing them would be very difficult in the short term.
Even Garrett of Hydra had wanted to kidnap Dr. Smith because his people had been unable to analyze the Power Pill's formula in a short time.
Second, there was no guarantee of quality. Without a superhero spokesperson like Iron Man, why would anyone buy other obscure products of the same type when there were better Tricolor Pills available?
Third, the Tricolor Pills were not expensive to begin with. The Green Pill in particular relied on volume, with its price driven extremely low. If imitators sold at the same price but lacked sufficient sales volume, it would be hard for them to make any money.
It was like cola. Aside from Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola, other colas could not compete with them at all, even if they tasted similar.
Most importantly, Li Chuan did not actually care that much about money. No matter how much money he had, it was only numbers. Money could not stop Thanos, nor could it stop those terrifying Dimensional Demons.
By the time knockoffs capable of rivaling the Tricolor Pill truly appeared, perhaps his main quest would already be complete, and money would no longer matter so much.
"Ring, ring, ring."
Not long after Xiao Liu took Tony away, Li Chuan's communicator suddenly rang. When he saw the caller, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
