To be honest, before, although Wan Gongzi also showed a certain strength in front of Xiao Feng, he left Xiao Feng with more impressions, and he was just a son-in-law, the second lord.

After all, he started with his father's support.

But today, after learning about his layout for the future business, Xiao Feng concluded that this guy is not simple, and he still has his own ideas.

So he's really interested in the acquisitions he's going to talk about.

"Voegelin, have you heard of it?"

When Wan Gongzi said this, he was also interested, took out a cigar from his arms, and lit it for himself.

Unknowingly, he has been in Xiao Feng's president's office for a morning, and the two sides have reached a consensus on in-depth cooperation in two fields.

Then he didn't mind the next part, and launched the third in-depth cooperation with Xiao Feng.

And the amount of money involved in this business is very huge, and he is also wondering if he can pull Xiao Feng into the chariot, after all, this guy doesn't seem to be bad for money.

Xiao Feng shook his head, but looking at Wan Gongzi's increasingly excited expression, he knew that this company might be quite unbelievable.

He asked his assistant to bring them coffee and tea, and then lit a cigarette himself and came to Wan Gongzi.

He hadn't smoked for a long time, and only smoked a few when he encountered something that would excite him, or when he was stressed, and that happened to be the case today.

"This Voegelin, in fact, the full name is Voegelin Boots Company, which is currently the largest chain of pharmacies in the world. American companies have 7,300 pharmacies in the U.S. and 2,000 pharmacies around the world. Mainly distributed in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and other places. It is the world's leading pharmaceutical channel giant. ”

Speaking of this, Wan Gongzi took a hard puff of his cigar and then spit it out.

Xiao Feng also took a hard puff of cigarette, it seems that this time Wan Gongzi has a big plan.

"This giant originated in Chicago and has a history of more than 100 years. It was not until a few years ago that they acquired chain pharmacies such as Duenlide, Laiaizi, and Boz to become the largest chain pharmacy in the United States. However, these mergers and acquisitions have also consumed a lot of capital. In addition, in recent years, CVS Health Group has begun to enter the pharmacy field to compete with them, and consumers have begun to change their consumption habits and start to buy more over-the-counter drugs, health supplements, shampoos, etc. on Amazon, which has made the operation of Voegelin Boots Company begin to fall into trouble......

Wan Gongzi began to introduce Xiao Feng to the operation of the Voegreen company.

Hearing this, Xiao Feng nodded, this is right!

If you still make money every year, the ghost is willing to sell the company.

And if such a No. 1 pharmacy in the United States wants to make a move, it must be in a certain degree of business condition.

"They started losing money five years ago and have been losing money for five years in a row so far. On the one hand, there is the competition of CVS, on the other hand, because of the change in consumer habits, and on the other hand, the current president, who overturned the *** health care reform. You must know that at the beginning, it was because of the first-class medical reform that they went to acquire other chain pharmacies and engage in expansion. But now that Trump doesn't admit the *** medical reform, they naturally can't get any benefits, so ......"

I rubbed it, it turns out that there is such a thing.

"Pharmacies in the United States are generally linked to insurance companies and hospitals. Doctors in hospitals prescribe drugs, while insurance companies directly cover the patient's bills. Whoever has more prescribing power from doctors will get more reimbursement from the insurance company......"

As soon as Wan Gongzi said this, Xiao Feng understood that he was tired of it.

For example, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson both have similar equivalent drugs, but when the doctor prescribes it, he specifies that you should use Pfizer's drug.

Then you can only buy this medicine at pharmacies that specialize in Pfizer, such as Voegelin.

And what medicine the doctor prescribes, of course, also has the power of the insurance company, after all, that kind of drug is the cheapest, and the insurance company naturally wants the doctor to prescribe that kind of drug.

Then they report to the Ministry of Health of the United States, and when they receive the subsidy from the Ministry of Health, it must be another price.

Anyway, there must be doctors, insurance companies, and chain pharmacies involved.

"In the past, Voegelin controlled at least 30 percent of the drugs prescribed by doctors in the United States. But now, because of CVS competition and changing consumer habits, they only have 19 percent of the prescription rights......"

"I'll go, that's a lot! The annual drug market in the United States is a trillion-dollar cake!"

Although Xiao Feng has not done a special investigation, he has also heard He Fangzhou say that the country with the most drug abuse in the world is the powerful United States.

However, the most abused of them is, of course, opioids......

Voegelin has 19 percent of the doctor's prescribing power......

This Nima, if you get it right, you can make tens of billions of dollars without doing anything a year!

That's true, but when they bought several other pharmacy chains, they borrowed a lot of money from banks and financial institutions, plus they had to have at least three pharmacists in each store. And the salaries of these pharmacists are also a big problem. Coupled with the continuous losses in recent years, this has seriously affected the company's business prospects. Although the company is still a Fortune 500 company, its rating on Wall Street is not high. ”

Wan Gongzi changed his words and introduced the current predicament of Voegelin.

In the United States, labor is indeed a big problem, especially in such pharmacies, which stipulate that pharmacists must be equipped, and the wages of these guys are not low.

"Some time ago, Voegelin's CEO, Stefano, contacted the private equity giant KKR and wanted to take the company private. Or sell, but no one wants to accept it at the moment. Negotiations on privatization are not progressing very well. ”

At this time, Xiao Feng turned his head to look at Wan Gongzi.

"So, you want to take this plate?"

"Hah! Yes, in my opinion, although Voegelin has fallen into a loss in recent years, this is only temporary. Once they get the exclusive right to hit a new drug, such as the rejuvenation series of health supplements. Or the new heart disease drug launched by the Ninth Laboratory, or the shampoo launched by the Ninth Laboratory, etc...... What do you think?"

"Hahaha......"

When Xiao Feng heard this, he couldn't help but point at Wan Gongzi and laugh.

This guy is really a slippery ghost.

No wonder he would talk to himself about this business, if he and the Ninth Laboratory were involved, it would indeed be Voegelin able to turn a profit soon.

Everyone must be wondering, why is this shampoo sold in pharmacies?

That's because of shampoo, many people in China regard shampoo as a daily chemical product, but on the foreigner side, they have a vague definition of the concept of things.

In Europe and the United States, shampoos originated to treat ringworm and dandruff.

So the original shampoo was sold in pharmacies, and later expanded to supermarkets.

And a good shampoo can definitely arouse the enthusiasm of consumers for a pharmacy.

If you add a new, effective health supplement, then this pharmacy will definitely come back to life.

And the rejuvenation capsule, through the previous treatment for the king of the car, now has that reputation.

I believe that tomorrow, the rejuvenation capsule will be able to arouse heated discussions on social media in Europe and the United States.

It is only a matter of time before it enters pharmacies in Europe and the United States.

As for the heart disease drug newly developed by He Fangzhou, once it is verified by the market and is indeed effective, it will definitely be more sought after.

If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem like a bad idea to buy this Voegelin with Wan Gongzi.

After all, if you master Voegelin, you will master these drugs in your own hands and the channels to go to sea.

Previously, it was extremely difficult for domestic drugs to be recognized by the world, especially in the United States.

And with the mastery of Voegreen, coupled with Helen's relationship, several heart disease drugs under his company can pass the review of the Food and Drug Administration of the United States.

After the review, it was a question of how to get the doctor to prescribe it.

In this regard, Voegelin has a lot of experience, and it is estimated that there are many doctors in the United States, who are all taking kickbacks from his family.

As long as it passes through them, it will not be difficult to do the work of those doctors in the same country.

And the United States is the world's heart disease country, hehe, once it enters that market, it is equivalent to entering a blue ocean.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng was indeed moved.

"But this Voegelin seems to be a Fortune 500 company, and it must be difficult to acquire them, right?"

"It's not small, now their stock price is $65 a share, and the information I got from KKR is that the lowest offer that their major shareholder can accept is $55 billion. If he can make this offer, he will help to get the other shareholders in the company. Stefano himself, on the other hand, currently owns 40 percent of Voegelin's shares. ”

Five and five billion dollars?

Damn, if this happens, it will be the largest acquisition in the world at the moment.

Once the acquisition is completed, the privatization will be completely completed, and this Voeglin will be the final word between him and Wan Gongzi.

"So Stepano, is there such a lack of money?"

Xiao Feng is still a little skeptical about the sale of Voegelin.

After all, this company, although it has only been losing money for five years, is also the first brother of the United States chain pharmacy.

"Uh...... It is said that they still have $18 billion in debt, and now they are overwhelmed by the high debt and labor. I heard that 200 stores have been closed this year......"

Grass, I still owe nearly 20 billion in debt, so in this way, it will take more than 70 billion US dollars!

No wonder Stepano is gone, this plate is not easy to pick up!
