Chapter 212: Failed negotiations, extremely ridiculed
Even though Li Zetian is a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, but the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, Li Zetian can't accept them, just as he can't betray Yu Jingqiu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this moment, Li Zetian pretended not to know anything, and then found an excuse to leave.
"Maybe time will dilute everything!" Li Zetian comforted.
……
In Hong Kong in August, it was extremely hot, and in order to let Xiao Youran stay with his grandparents for a while to cultivate their relationship, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu stayed in Hong Kong for more than two months.
During these two months, Li Zetian was not idle, personally promoting and accelerating the development and construction of the Hong Kong branch and R&D center.
At the same time, he has given several lectures at universities in Hong Kong, calling on students to graduate and work for their own companies.
Hong Kong citizens and students have a good impression of Li Zetian, many students regard him as an idol, and he came to the school to give a speech, so students will naturally choose Li Zetian's company after graduation. The education level in Hong Kong is extremely high, and many universities are among the best in the world, and there are many talents, and their participation will undoubtedly strengthen Li Zetian's company.
After years of doing business, Li Zetian has realized what the most important thing in the enterprise is!
In the movie "There Are No Thieves in the World", Ge You once said a very classic line: "What is the most expensive in the 21st century?
Yes, that's the most important thing for a business.
As long as there are excellent talents, the enterprise will develop, even if it is the shopkeeper, there is no problem.
If there is a brain drain, then the company is not far from going bankrupt.
Li Zetian has been working hard to learn how to use talents reasonably, so that "people make the best use of their talents, make the best use of things", in his company, the treatment of talents is often far higher than the average level of the same industry, and the enterprise happiness index is among the best!
On August 15, Dongfang Yuqin suddenly made an urgent call to him from the United States, and Li Zetian decided to return to the United States.
On the phone, Dongfang Yuqin said that because Lee's Pharmaceutical Company wants to acquire Johnson & Johnson, Johnson & Johnson frequently appears in front of the media and the public, and since June, Johnson & Johnson's turnover has increased significantly, and the other party not only has no intention of reducing prices, but has also raised the purchase price and raised the price to $18 billion.
The expected value of Li Zetian's acquisition is between $10 billion and $12 billion.
After listening to what Dongfang Yuqin said, Li Zetian couldn't help frowning, he had no intention of staying in Hong Kong now, and that afternoon, he and Yu Jingqiu returned to the United States with Xiao Youran
At about 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, I returned to my villa in Beverly Hills.
Dongfang Yuqin was already waiting at home at the moment, and when Li Zetian returned home, she told Li Zetian the details of the negotiation.
……
The news of Li Zetian's return to the United States naturally quickly spread to the United States and to the ears of the Johnson & Johnson family in the United States.
A middle-aged man named Robert Wood Johnson & Johnson said with a mocking face: "Hehe, the richest man in China finally couldn't sit still and flew back to the United States from Hong Kong, however, he came, and it was still to no avail! If you want to spend $12 billion to buy Johnson & Johnson, there is no door!"
Another Johnson & Johnson family man scoffed: "Johnson & Johnson has a stable business model and strong competitiveness, and has not lost money in a single year in its nearly 100-year history since 1897."
After so many years of unremitting efforts and innovation, Johnson & Johnson has become the world's most comprehensive and widely distributed health care product manufacturer and related service provider, and is currently the world's sixth largest consumer goods company, the world's most comprehensive medical device company, and the world's fifth largest pharmaceutical company!
Chronos Li is also too naïve, how can we sell Johnson & Johnson to him, just to use his fame to promote it! No, Johnson & Johnson doesn't spend a penny on advertising, but let the global media advertise for us!"
"Haha!!"
The Johnson & Johnson family laughed!
……
"Mr. Li, now it seems that Johnson & Johnson is obviously trying to use us to hype, they have no intention of selling the company at all!! even if we bid $18 billion, maybe they may increase the price!" Dongfang Yuqin said angrily.
Li Zetian comforted: "Okay, Dongfang Yuqin, there is no need to be angry with them! I have other plans to interrupt this acquisition!"
"Mr. Li, what are you going to do?" asked Dongfang Yuqin.
Li Zetian said: "We don't buy big companies, we buy small companies. Some start-ups, small in size, but with the technology and talent we need, such as Amgen, which was founded in 1980 by a group of scientists and venture capitalists. Dr. George B. Rathmann, formerly of Abbott Laboratories, was one of the company's founders and served as its first chairman and CEO. So far, the company has not had a product on the market, but their research has been valuable!! and if successful, it will be remarkable!!"
Li Zetian paused and said, "Since the success of Genentech, biotechnology has begun to develop rapidly, and in addition to Amgen, there are many biotechnology companies in the world! However, these companies are all start-ups, and it doesn't take much money to acquire them! From now on, Lee's Pharmaceutical Company will be renamed Gene Technology Company! Without acquiring Johnson & Johnson, Gene Technology Company can become the greatest company in the world!!
"Mr. Li, this is a ?!! to fully enter the field of biotechnology," Dongfang Yuqin said in surprise with her mouth half open.
Li Zetian nodded and said lightly: "That's right!"
"Okay, I know, I'll give your order!" Dongfang Yuqin finished speaking and left the study.
"Wait," Li Zetian called out to her.
"Mr. Li, do you have any other orders?"
"After acquiring a number of biotech companies, Lee's Pharmaceutical changed its name to Genomics, so that it lived up to its name!!"
"Okay!"
The reason why Li Zetian changed "Lee's Pharmaceutical" to "gene technology" is, on the one hand, to set a tone for the company: this is a high-tech company that will focus on research and development of biotechnology in the future; On the other hand, the name "Lee's Pharmaceutical" has a strong personal color, which is not conducive to the development of the company, the company belongs to everyone, and everyone needs to work together, not for the Li family!
……
At 9 a.m. the next day, Lee's Pharmaceutical Company held a press conference to announce that the acquisition negotiations with Johnson & Johnson had failed.
As soon as the news came out, it shook the world!
People didn't expect billionaire Chronos Li to suffer Waterloo at the same time.
At this time, many people who were not used to seeing it and were envious and jealous of Li Zetian couldn't help but be sarcastic.
"Hehe, I thought Chronos-Li was very good, but it's actually not very good! kept saying that he was going to buy Johnson & Johnson, but as a result, hehe, he was slapped in the face! If you don't have the strength, don't talk crazy!!
"Chronos Li is so disappointing, I thought I could buy Johnson & Johnson, I looked forward to it for a long time, and it turned out to be !!."
"This is the United States, not a place where you are Chinese, Chronos Li, you better honestly go back to that poor country in China!! this is the first Waterloo, and then there will be a second and third ......"
There are so many people who gloat, and there are also many people who hate the rich, and this time Li Zetian's failure to acquire Johnson & Johnson made them feel extremely satisfied, as if they had defeated Li Zetian.
The media is also fueling the flames, pandering to public opinion and belittling Li Zetian.
Li Zetian threw down the newspaper, endured it, didn't have the same knowledge as them, and thought to himself, no matter how much Lao Tzu fails, he must be the richest man in the world now, not comparable to you fools!!
