Chapter 491: Zhou Jitang: An Investment of at Least 1 Billion (Part 1)

(Yesterday there was one less chapter, and today I try to make it back.) )

……

In the conference room, Zhou Jitang took a deep breath, stood up, looked at everyone and said, "I don't have anything to say, I believe everyone knows about this matter." ”

As he spoke, he said in a heavy tone: "Let's just say it, has the company approved my project?"

Hearing Zhou Jitang's words, everyone frowned slightly.

"I stick to my attitude, it's not the time to start a new project, it's a complete joke about the fate of the company. This is irresponsible to the shareholders and the majority of investors. Don't forget, we are a publicly traded company. ”

One shareholder said sternly.

Zhou Jitang didn't speak, but looked at Zheng Ge and the others.

Zheng Ge pondered for a moment and said, "Professor Zhou, don't blame everyone for being unkind, everyone is also thinking about the company." Professor Zhou wants to start a new project, and that's no problem. But as a member of the company, did Professor Zhou consider the consequences of failure?

When the anti-cancer drugs were developed, when there was no hope, Mr. Yao could come up with billions of funds to invest in anti-cancer drug projects. Now that the company is doing well, but you don't have the courage to do so?"

Zhou Jitang didn't like it.

Originally, he had a good impression of Zheng Ge.

After all, at the time of crisis, it was Zheng Ge who lent a helping hand to allow the development of anti-cancer drugs.

But now, it is even singing the opposite.

Is it true that when people are rich, they are less courageous?

Wang Jiansheng frowned and said, "Professor Zhou, the current situation is different from the beginning. Professor Zhou, just like Mr. Hu said, we are a listed company. Our decision must also be explained to the public and to the majority of investors. If we make the wrong decision, we will be abandoned by investors. Our company will also be beaten back to its original shape. At that point, what will we do to develop new projects?"

Zhou Jitang frowned and was silent.

Zheng Ge glanced at it and said, "Professor Zhou, you sit down first and speak slowly." ”

Zhou Jitang glanced at him and sat down.

Zheng Ge sighed and said, "Professor Zhou, first of all, let's be clear, we are not refusing to take on new projects. Our company is engaged in medicine, and it is also our responsibility to develop new drugs and relieve the pain of patients all over the world. However, we are also a business, and we must consider it comprehensively. ”

As he spoke, he paused for a moment and said, "Professor Zhou, first of all, how much money is expected to be invested in the special medicine for heart disease?"

Yao Aiguo, Lao Wang, and shareholder Hu Zong and others looked at Zheng Ge and didn't understand what he meant?

Is this to promise?

Zhou Jitang frowned and calculated, and said, "At least about 1 billion." ”

"At least 1 billion, that is, maybe 2 billion, or even 3 billion, right?" Zheng Ge said.

Zhou Jitang was silent, which could be regarded as acquiescence.

"But our company, the working capital, the total is less than 500 million. It will take at least half a year for anti-cancer drugs to be launched and funds to be withdrawn. If a new project is launched, how to solve the problem of funding first?"

Zheng Ge said.

Zhou Jitang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zheng Ge and continued: "Also, regarding the anti-cancer drug project, have you found a good successor? Is this successor reliable? Can you gain everyone's trust?"

"Just like Mr. Hu and Mr. Wang said, we are a listed company. Some major decisions in the company need to be explained to the outside world. The R&D team of anti-cancer drugs is the team that has attracted the most attention from the outside world in our company. ”

"If you resign from your position as head of the anti-cancer drug program, what will be the reaction of the outside world?"

"If investors lose confidence in our company, the stock price falls, or even crashes, what do we do with new projects?"

What he said is a bit serious, and the actual situation is not so exaggerated.

After the anti-cancer drug is launched, even if Zhou Jitang leaves the R&D team, the stock price will not fall much. It is expected to stabilize and there will be no further spikes.

If you want the stock price to explode again, you can only wait for the research and development of anti-cancer drugs to make a major breakthrough again.

Although the current anti-cancer drugs have been successfully developed, they are only the success of the first stage, and there is still a lot of room for follow-up development.

You must know that the current successful development of anti-cancer drugs only targets a few tumor cells.

There's too much room for development.

It is even possible to develop real cancer-curing drugs.

Zhou Jitang's brows furrowed.

"Lao Zhou, think about it. Our opinion is that the new project should be delayed for a while, and then plan after the company is stronger. Yao Aiguo said.

"As for the successor of the project, I have already found a successor, and he can take over from me and further develop anti-cancer drugs. Zhou Jitang insisted.

"Professor Zhou, it is said that your student is only less than 30 years old, and before that, he had no experience in leading a project on his own, and it was such a major project. How can this gain the trust of everyone, how can we gain the trust of patients from the outside world, and the trust of investors?" said Mr. Hu, the shareholder.

Zhou Jitang was silent.

Zheng Ge stood up and said, "Professor Zhou, I hope you can think about it." ”

Zhou Jitang exhaled: "I also hope that everyone can consider my opinion,"

With that, he got up and left.

Apparently, he was still unconvinced.

Yao Aiguo frowned and looked at everyone, "Everyone said, what should I do?"

"What to do? Mr. Hu said angrily: "Lao Zhou, he is really a little excessive, this is ......"

As he spoke, he stopped.

He wanted to say that Zhou Jitang was a little arrogant and used his own importance to coerce everyone.

But come to think of it, that can't be said.

Because of Chenghua Pharmaceutical, it is still inseparable from Zhou Jitang.

In any case, you can't turn your face with Zhou Jitang.

……

With the departure of Zhou Jitang, the shareholders' meeting ended without a beginning and an end.

Mr. Hu and others also left one after another.

Zheng Ge, Yao Aiguo and Manager Wang came to the general manager's office.

"Alas, it seems that Lao Zhou, this is iron-hearted!"

Yao Aiguo poured Zheng Ge and them a cup of tea and sighed.

Zheng Ge smiled: "I don't think so, I see! Professor Zhou should have given in a little." ”

"Haha, I think so, otherwise, in my understanding, Professor Zhou is a little back-edgling, and so many of our rhetoric today are not useless. ”

Manager Wang laughed and said, "Although Professor Zhou's attitude is a little tougher, he should also understand that only in Chenghua Pharmaceutical is the most beneficial to him." Leaving Chenghua and going to other companies, it is absolutely impossible to get such a large resource support. ”

Yao Aiguo nodded, "Indeed, although those pharmaceutical companies threw all kinds of olive branches to Professor Zhou Jitang, they ......"

As he spoke, a sneer flashed across his face.

If Zhou Jitang really left Chenghua, which company did he go to, and after signing the contract, what project should the company go on?
