Chapter 19 Poseidon Biomedical Company
The car did not drive directly to the hotel, but went to buy clothes first, Xu Ping'an bought two sets in a row, and went to the hotel after buying.
Degusong accompanied Xu Ping'an to go through the formalities in the hotel lobby, it turned out to be a suite, more than 1,000 euros a night, what a rich man, after Xu Ping'an received the number plate, the two entered the elevator and went upstairs together.
Entering the room, Xu Ping'an put away his luggage and said directly, "Degusong, I don't know how to make coffee, I can only make tea, are you used to drinking it?"
"Of course, when I was studying in the UK, I basically drank tea every day," said De Gusson with a smile, not lying, De Gusong usually likes to drink tea.
Xu Ping'an nodded, began to boil water, not for a long time, the water boiled, directly brewed a pot of tea, and then arrived at two cups, the two chatted while drinking, mainly Xu Ping'an asked, Degusong answered.
"According to what you said, the Icelandic government now welcomes foreign investment," Xu Ping'an said after listening to De Guzon's introduction.
"Yes, the financial crisis two years ago hurt Iceland a lot, and the economy is in need of stimulus right now, and there's no better way than foreign investment," Deguzon said as he took a sip of tea.
"Deguson, can you tell me about the structure of Iceland's economy?" asked Xu Ping'an.
"Willing to help," said Deguzzon with a smile.
"Mr. Xu, Iceland has a small population, and the main source of its economy is fishing, followed by high-energy industries such as fishery product processing and aluminum, and other industries are not developing very well."
"Before the financial crisis, the tourism industry was growing year by year, and since the outbreak of the financial crisis in '08, the tourism industry has suffered a huge blow, and the number of tourists received in the first half of this year is only one-fifth of what it was two years ago"
"Correspondingly, the fish processing and refining industry has also suffered a huge blow, and the global economy has been devastated by the financial turmoil, and a decline in consumption is inevitable, and Iceland is no exception."
"Many companies are struggling, cosmetics, clothing, catering, hotels, etc., these companies have laid off people, and there is no sales and no capital to maintain so many workers"
"At present, the effect of layoffs is not good, the economy has not improved much, and it can only rely on time to heal the scars"
"It is the ruling party that urgently needs foreign investment, and if there is investment, it can lead the team to employment, and the government has introduced a lot of preferential policies, and the strength is not small, if Mr. Xu is currently investing, it is a good opportunity, as long as it can survive two years, it will definitely bring a lot of returns," Deguzon explained seriously.
Xu Ping'an nodded seriously, Deguzzon's opinion is similar to his own, as long as he can survive the current stage, everything is not a problem, and it is very fitting to explain the current situation with the darkness before dawn.
Drinking tea, the two talked for thirty or forty minutes, and Deguson's patience really impressed Xu Ping'an, and many of the things he asked required additional charges, and as a result, Deguzon explained to himself in detail.
This one is very good, if you give a little practical something, it's a bit too much.
"Degusong, do you know anything about Poseidon Biomedical Company," Xu Ping'an asked, shaking his teacup.
"Mr. Xu, if you are asking about other companies, I still need to do some research, and I know Poseidon Biopharma very well, because my cousin works in this company," Deguson said with a smile.
"Oh, what a coincidence, can you tell me about the current situation of this company" Xu Ping'an said with a smile.
"Of course"
"Poseidon Biopharmaceutical's business situation is currently very bad, in March this year, Europe and the United States raised the standards of dietary supplement manufacturers, giving a year of preparation time, if it does not meet the requirements in March next year, it shall not be sold in the European Union"
"Poseidon's production equipment has not been updated for 20 years, it is seriously aging, and if it wants to meet the standards set by Europe and the United States, it is necessary to invest at least 3 million euros to replace the equipment."
"Heraben, the owner of Poseidon Pharmaceutical and Biological, is reluctant to pay this expense, because this financial crisis has suffered heavy losses, and the company is now in a semi-standstill, with only about twenty people at work"
"Moreover, the company's previous stock of raw materials was running out, and Helaben's request for a government-backed loan was not approved, because now the market is clear about everything and the government does not want to waste its investment."
"Helaben now has plans to sell this company, but Heraben's asking price is not low, and there has been no deal................ Degusong introduced his understanding to Xu Ping'an one by one.
"I remember that Poseidon Biopharma has a laboratory that has been seriously tested by the European Union, and is it still running?" asked Xu Ping'an.
Degusong smiled, 100% sure in his heart, Xu Ping'an has taken a fancy to Poseidon Biomedical Company, the biggest value of this company is this Jane laboratory, the production equipment is worthless, the kind of old-fashioned equipment, the manufacturers have gone out of business.
"It's still running, but there are only five researchers left, and this is the result of the strong request of their general manager Kyle, who did not hesitate to quarrel with Helaben three times for the sake of this lab, otherwise, the lab would have been sold off long ago."
"Mr. Xu, if you want to buy Poseidon Biopharmaceutical, their general manager Kyle, must stay, to be honest, if it weren't for Kyle's existence, Poseidon would have gone out of business a long time ago" Degusson said seriously, obviously very recognized by Kyle, the general manager of Poseidon Pharmaceutical and Biotech.
"Deguson, Kyle is just a manager, the company has reached the current point, why don't you leave," Xu Ping'an asked.
Xu Ping'an is really curious about this, if Kyle is really as good as Deguzzon said, there is no problem at all in finding a suitable next home, but this Kyle is still in the company and insists on not leaving, which is very abnormal.
"Mr. Xu, the reason why Kyle stayed in Poseidon is known to many people, in order to repay the favor, Kyle is an orphan, and it was Helaben who funded Kyle to go to school until he graduated from college, without Heraben's support for so many years, there would definitely be no current Kyle"
"After graduating from university, Kyle went to work at Poseidon in Heraben, starting as a basic salesman, and five years later, becoming the general manager of Poseidon, and frankly, if Heraben could fully support Kyle, Poseidon would definitely be a large company in the European region, if not a world-class company."
"Helaben is not a bad person, and he has done a lot of charity, but there is a problem that everyone can't bear, too stingy, since ten years ago, Kyle and Helaben proposed to completely update the production equipment and experimental equipment, and increase the number of researchers"
"As a result, they were all denied by Heraben, thinking that there was no need to be so dedicated, and they had to quarrel with Kyle several times a year because of this kind of thing, which basically Shanghai Shen's employees knew" Deguzon explained, Xu Ping'an nodded.
