Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

It was not until Goldman Sachs took over the task of listing Orange Technology that Sister Allah contacted him some time ago.

And the purpose of contacting him also made Whitehead very painful, the two sisters wanted to get to know Yang Chen through him.

In addition to the strong individual heroism in the United States, another is the culture of money supremacy brought about by capitalism.

Yang Chen's legendary rise speed, coupled with the fact that the East has always carried a special mysterious color in the eyes of Europeans, made many Westerners curious about it, and the combination of the two made two ignorant girls feel deeply about Yang Chen. Have a good impression.

Especially Sister Allah is a senior fan of Yang Chen.

For this reason, Whitehead was sad for several days.

At today's reception, he didn't see Sister Allah show up, so he was originally happy about it.

At the same time, he was also secretly guessing whether old Jack had no hope for Yang Chen who already had a fiancee, so he just made a tentative statement just now.

Na Zeng thought, without his knowing, Sister An La had already met Yang Chen in private, which made him feel a little bit uncontrollable and wanted to vomit blood.

Yang Chen held the wine glass, took a sip, and said lightly: "Mr. Whitehead, although our cooperation is coming to an end, please don't forget that I am still a shareholder of your Goldman Sachs Group. You are slandering me and attacking your own people like this. It will affect the overall image of Goldman Sachs."

Whitehead blushed, and said bravely, "Yang, I can do my best to help you with anything, but I hope you promise me one thing."

Before Whitehead finished speaking, Yang Chen decisively shook his head and said, "No way."

Whitehead was speechless: "I haven't said it yet, why can't it work?"

"Because I know what you're going to say next."

Yang Chen acted like I know, I know everything, I understand, I understand everything.That appearance, coupled with Whitehead's black face, directly made the rich people around him happy.

In the past, the big guys had a love-hate relationship with Whitehead, a Wall Street elite, but now seeing him deflated, he felt a lot more refreshed.

Whitehead turned to look at Old Jack and asked, "My old Jack's father-in-law, can you tell me what happened?"

Old Jack said indifferently: "Sisters Anla wanted to start a cosmetics company before. They thought I gave too little money, so they asked Yang to invest, and Yang agreed. It's as simple as that."

Whitehead said dumbly, "Why didn't they tell me before?"

Old Jack said mercilessly: "What am I telling you? You are a Wall Street elite who only knows how to buy and sell stocks, and only pays attention to the rise and fall of stocks every day. Do you know what cosmetics are?"

"I..." Whitehead thought about it for a long time, and finally thought about it. As a Wall Street elite, I really don't understand that stuff.

Chapter 712 Making medicine is making patents

The main reason why Old Jack agreed to his two daughters to jointly open a cosmetics company with Yang Chen was to win over Yang Chen, the new shareholder of the company, and to increase revenue for the company.

Earlier, Yang Chen bought a lot of stocks in American pharmaceutical companies. Old Jack's pharmaceutical company was among the few companies that Yang Chen bought, and it was considered relatively high among the American pharmaceutical companies.

He holds 18.00% of the shares of Old Jack's company, which makes Yang Chen the third largest shareholder after Old Jack and the company's second largest shareholder.

The pharmaceutical company is the painstaking effort of Old Jack all his life. Because he has been focusing on drug research all year round, he has been negligent in management for a long time, which has caused the company's second largest shareholder to think what he shouldn't have.

If it's just management negligence, that's all. Anyway, the pharmaceutical company was founded by old Jack, and his influence cannot be said.

Under normal circumstances, even if the second largest shareholder had an idea, it would be difficult to replace Old Jack.

What really worries Old Jack is the other shareholders of the company. Because he is biased towards research, the company's annual investment in research far exceeds that of other pharmaceutical companies.

Every year, most of the profits of the pharmaceutical company are used by him to invest in drug research. This is the case every year, so that many shareholders of the company are now dissatisfied with him.

The company's profits continue to increase every year, but the dividends are still the same. After a long time, no one will be happy.

In any private company, its shareholders are essentially interested in interests, and without interests, who would want to hold company stocks.

After feeling threatened, Old Jack did not remain indifferent, and decisively began to win over the directors of the board of directors.

Although Old Jack was focused on drug research, he himself was not the kind of doctor who could let go of his rights and devote himself to drug research.

The pharmaceutical company is his life's painstaking effort, and he doesn't want to be kicked out of the company and the research laboratory one day.

Most of the company's shareholders already have opinions on him. Even though he promised that the research investment will be reduced and the annual profit dividend will be increased, many shareholders who are familiar with him do not believe what he said.

In the United States, a country where money is paramount, the so-called favors are actually not reliable. As long as it is profitable, no matter how deep the friendship is, the people around you can sell you in an instant.

The old shareholders can't count on them, most of them were bought by the second shareholders, so now, old Jack can only put his hope on Yang Chen, the new shareholder.

Old Jack himself holds 30.00% of the company's shares, plus Yang Chen's 18.00%, the two add up to 48, and the two almost occupy nearly half of the company's shares.

In this way, unless all the shareholders other than the two join forces, his old Jack will still be the major shareholder of the company, worthy of the name.

Ignoring Whitehead who was extremely depressed at the side, Old Jack looked at Yang Chen in front of him, and said seriously: "Yang, I agreed to what you said last time. I will hold a board meeting the day after tomorrow to pass your proposal."

The joy in Yang Chen's eyes disappeared in a flash. He raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Well, we have a happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." Old Jack nodded, raised his glass, and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

Seeing the two of them like this, Whitehead swept away the depression in his chest, couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Old father-in-law, who are you?"

Old Jack was a little unhappy and said: "Heit, pay attention to your address. If you really like Allah and them, you can go after them yourself. If you really have the ability to make all their sisters like you, I, as a father, will also go after you." There will be no comments."

"But, that's my father, I won't force my daughter to marry a man I don't like."

Old Jack's words made Whitehead extremely embarrassed.

Seeing that Whitehead didn't dare to speak back at all, Yang Chen made a statement and said: "I intend to establish a Shire pharmaceutical branch in Asia to expand Shire's business to Asia."

"It was so"

Whitehead looked at Yang Chen gratefully. Old Jack belongs to the kind of time when he doesn't care about you. No matter what you say, he can laugh it off, but once you care about it, it will be endless.

Thinking of the situation that sisters Anla mentioned inadvertently before, Whitehead hesitated, and reminded: "Uncle, I have also heard from Allah and the others about the company. In fact, what Shire needs to do most now is not to develop new products. Drugs, but as soon as possible to finance the acquisition of other pharmaceutical companies to expand the scale.

Now the government intends to promote the biotechnology industry and the development of large pharmaceutical companies, if Uncle can’t let Shire maintain the pace of development with other pharmaceutical companies, it will soon face the situation of being acquired by large pharmaceutical companies in the future..."

After World War II, the US pharmaceutical industry quickly entered a glorious era, replacing Germany as the world's number one pharmaceutical power.

Driven by the perfect medical insurance in the United States, American pharmaceutical companies have grown rapidly.

Under the impetus of the government, if pharmaceutical companies want to expand their scale, they can only take the path of merging other pharmaceutical companies. It takes too long to research new drugs.

Before every new drug enters the market, it needs to go through rigorous tests and long-term observation.

Therefore, developing new drugs does not allow a pharmaceutical company to grow rapidly.

However, any large multinational company cannot do without all kinds of mergers in the process of its growth.

If a pharmaceutical company wants to expand its scale, only by merging other pharmaceutical companies and bringing in the drug patents and researchers of other pharmaceutical companies can it strengthen the company's strength in a short period of time.

The rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry in the United States is inseparable from the strict drug patent protection system.
