History

Opodo began in 1985 as a partnership between investment banker Abi Ancheng and microbiologist Ming Pak. Amid the government push to divest itself of loss making state companies, Ancheng was able to snap up a bankrupt state company named Pigoid that specialized in asthma medications. Ancheng's plan was to use Pigoid's existing infrastructure and intellectual resources, his capital and the opening up of the pharmaceutical sector to slingshot the company to profitability. He renamed the company to Opodo and recruited the father of the Daxian chemical weapons program, Ming Pak, as a partner and to run the production side of the company. Over the next five years the company carved itself a niche in the asthma medication sector, but Ming Pak had a different notion for the company. Using components found in asthma medication such as Theophylline mixed with amphetamines, he synthetized a completely different substance; the drug Opdo would market as Captagon.
