Chapter 217: The Great War (Part 3)

"What's wrong, Dr. Rothman?"

"Oh, yes, we just got the news that Roche suddenly borrowed $2 billion from Citibank!!"

"Borrowed $2 billion?!" Henry couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the news!

"Yes, $2 billion borrowed, the news is conclusive!" Rothman said in a positive tone.

Henry frowned suddenly, Roche Pharmaceuticals originally had more than $4 billion, and the funds were enough to buy Genentech. But now that it's borrowing another $2 billion, what is it going to do?

Henry asked Dr. Rothman, "Do you know why they borrowed $2 billion from the bank?"

Dr. Rothman shook his head and thought, "Not yet, but, my guess is that it has something to do with the acquisition of Genentech! Because we intervened, Roche was unable to acquire Genentech. Now that they've borrowed another $2 billion, I'm more worried that Genentech won't be tempted to do so......"

"Tell them that we won't bid less than Roche!!" Henry said in a deep voice.

"But ......"

Henry interrupted: "You just tell them about money, I want to find a way!"

"Good!"

After Henry hung up the phone, he couldn't help but fall silent!

The unknown is the most terrifying.

Is Roche really willing to spend $6 billion to buy Genentech? Previously, they were only willing to bid $2.1 billion for a 60 percent stake......

Henry took a deep breath, no matter what tricks Roche pharma played, he must make all the preparations and raise enough funds!!

Weifeng Capital holds shares in other companies, at least more than 5%, and all of them are sold all at once, which will inevitably cause turmoil and the stock price plummets. Therefore, the sale of shares is also a little by little, and there is no hurry! Of course. It's possible to find someone else to take over, but it will take time!

Therefore, it takes time for Prestige Capital to raise money!

However, Roche's actions made Henry feel a little uneasy. It's better to decide to prepare early!

Because of his excellent memory, Henry knew by heart the financial statements of the major companies under his name, and knew which ones had excess funds. So, I informed them and asked the major companies to prepare the funds immediately. Take it all in!

Sure enough, Henry's fears became a reality!

Within a few days, Rothman called Henry and said, "Chairman, Roche has finally made a move!"

"Keep talking!"

"Here's the thing, Roche has repeatedly failed at the negotiating table and finally decided to launch a hostile takeover! Now, they are frantically buying Genentech shares in the stock market!!

When Henry heard this, he was taken aback and couldn't help asking, "You mean Roche Pharmaceuticals launched a hostile takeover?!"

"That's right!" Rothman nodded. "Chairman, we need funds to grab stocks in the stock market with Roche Pharmaceutical!"

"Well, I see, don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to snap up Genentech's stock!"

"Okay!!

Henry hung up the phone, and then drove to the prestige capital to tell Karina what had happened.

The more Karina listened, the darker her face became.

"Things are a little tricky!! "Karina said with a frown, "Roche Pharmaceutical can attack and retreat, we are now completely passive!"

Henry looked at her. Motioned for her to continue.

Karina said in a deep voice: "Now, Roche has acquired Genentech's shares on the stock market! When the price rises to a very high position, I think there will be many major shareholders who will also sell their shares! If we are indifferent, then it is very likely that Roche will succeed and take a controlling stake in the company!"

"But. If we also go into the stock market and compete with them for Genentech stock. Roche Pharmaceutical can have two choices: first, to fight for it with all its might; second, if it can't grab it, it can sell the stocks, and at that time, the stock price will definitely have risen to a very high level, and they will be able to make a lot of money! They can attack and retreat, and we have no choice but to rush to buy the shares and bear these losses!"

When Henry heard Karina's analysis, he immediately understood why Roche Pharmaceutical wanted to borrow $2 billion from Citibank, it turned out that they wanted to make a big profit in the stock market!

Henry was silent for a while, then looked at Karina and said firmly: "This time, we will admit it and immediately go all out to enter the stock market to buy Genentech !!"

"Well, okay, whatever you decide, I'm for !!," Karina laughed.

"Hmmm, do you think we're going to lose money in this acquisition? Hehe, one day, Roche will regret that it didn't do its best to acquire Genentech!!

"Looking at your tone, could it be that the market value of Genentech will be very high in the future?!"

"Of course!" Henry nodded, "I'm very optimistic about Genentech, and even if it costs ten billion dollars to buy it this time, I'm willing to !! it."

"Since you say so, then I have the bottom in my heart!!"

Subsequently, Karina mobilized funds to preside over the acquisition!!

The battle between Weifeng Capital and Roche Pharmaceutical is about to break out!

With the entry of Weifeng Capital, the stock market, which was already full of excitement, suddenly boiled! Genentech's stock price skyrocketed at an incredible speed, and by the end of the day, the stock price had risen by $5!

The news immediately shocked Wall Street and shocked all stockholders!!

Senior Wall Street analysts were quick to give the answer that the stock price had risen so fast: "Yesterday, there was a big battle between Roche Pharmaceuticals and Weifeng Capital, and both sides were trying their best to grab the shares of Genentech, which caused the stock price of Genentech to rise by $5 on the same day, becoming the stock price that rose the fastest in nearly a month!!

Subsequently, the senior Wall Street analyst gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the two companies, and then suggested to shareholders: "Based on the current situation, the stock price of Genentech will still rise, and it is strongly recommended that shareholders who own shares wait a few more days and do not !!sell for the time being."

The next day, as senior Wall Street analysts said, Genentech's stock price is still rising wildly, although the increase is not as crazy as yesterday, but it is still up by $3!

Shareholders cheered: "Haha, it's up again, it's up again!!"

"Hehe, it's a rare opportunity to make a fortune!"

"Hehe, Mr. Williams is 'poverty alleviation', don't you think it'!!!"

"Haha, that's right, it's !! poverty alleviation"

“……”

In the following week, the stock price was still rising!

The battle between Weifeng Capital and Roche Pharmaceuticals is in full swing!!

At this time, Karina found Henry and said, "Prestige Capital doesn't have enough funds anymore, and you need to raise more money!"

"Don't worry, I'm already ready! This time, in addition to the $1 billion that Weifeng Capital previously entered the stock market, I have also prepared $4 billion! Later, I will ask Williams Bank to transfer $1 billion. In addition, the major companies under my name will also send money to come!"

"These funds are enough, and if the stock price is too high, Roche will not dare to continue. It will also be afraid to play with fire**, and if we suddenly sell our stocks, it will be the one who will lose the most in the stock market in the end!" Karina smiled, looking like she was holding a pearl of wisdom.

"Well, that's right, you have a point!"

At this moment, in the Roche pharmaceutical company, a group of people are discussing whether the company will continue to grab stocks or prepare to sell them! What is the scale of this scale, everyone is uncertain for a while!

"Keep going!" I don't think Henry Williams will let go easily, and we'll push the stock up another $10!!"

"I indicated that I would like to second!!"

"Seconded !!"
