Chapter 60: For Science
George Lasman's mood was gloomy right now, almost like the earth on the moon, vast.
Facing the eyes of the shareholders.
He was now ashamed to find a hole to put in, then hide, never to be seen again.
Because......
The gambling contract between Abel and the company's shareholders was with the tacit approval of the chairman. M. Binder, the CEO, can put it on the board of directors and face the shareholders.
Originally from a normal point of view.
No matter how you look at it, this contract is beneficial to the original shareholders. George Lasman, for the benefit of the original shareholders, of course, suggested that everyone sign this contract.
Therefore.
When some shareholders came to him and asked him if he should sign the contract, he answered in the affirmative.
Before going to the lab.
George Lassman was no believer that granulocyte therapy could have been available so long earlier.
And when I got to the lab.
George Lasman, a scientist and scholar, overwhelmed the side of his company's chairman, and when he made new discoveries, he threw his whole energy into it.
As a result, under the guidance of the king of the mouth cannon, the trouble of the new drug was solved more than a year ahead of schedule.
And he forgot about it excitedly because his biggest wish in his life was fulfilled.
Outcome......
The VAM contract has been formed.
"I ...... I'm sorry everyone. George Lasman lowered his head, completely unsure of what to say, and finally said in frustration, "I am resigning as chairman of the company." In addition, I am willing to use my shares as compensation for everyone. ”
However, his performance is not at all satisfactory to the shareholders who have lost their interests in front of them. Especially the 11 minority shareholders, including John Lasseter, who have just sold their shares.
They were even more furious.
"I'm going to sue you, George Lasman!"
"You only have 1.69% of the shares! The 1.85% of the shares you just sold! How much can you pay me? George, you have disappointed me so much!"
"The contract is not established! I want to repent! I don't recognize the contract just now, and the check will be returned to you!"
“……”
There was a sudden uproar in the conference room, and it was not only the shareholders who sold their shares who went crazy.
The other shareholders who signed the VAM contract are also in a very uncomfortable mood now.
Because, now this absolutely impossible situation has appeared, and their shares have decreased by more than 60% for no reason.
Although the value of the shares should not depreciate, it may rise significantly, because if the new drug can really be listed, the company will be on the right track, and the market value will definitely increase several times, and it will definitely be worth more than the 60% less shares they have now.
But reason is reason, and it's one thing to feel uncomfortable.
In this case.
In addition to the introduction of Abel's Gordon M. Binder secretly chose Shenyin at this time, for fear of attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone else looked at the chairman, and all kinds of eyes made George Lasman almost go into the ground with guilt.
There was a lot of noise and disturbance.
Abel finally appeared.
As soon as he appeared, the conference room suddenly fell silent.
It's not that he has any momentum or anything like that, but among the middle-aged and elderly people in the conference room, a handsome and outrageous young man with the appearance of a college student suddenly appeared, which seemed more abrupt.
What's more, he is followed by the respectful Lin Fukun, so even if he doesn't know him, he knows that the one in front of him may be the main one.
Abel Sephorosa!
"Hi everyone, I'm Abel Sephorosa. I'm glad to be a colleague from now on. Al, what I told you should be done. As soon as he entered the conference room, Abel said with a smile.
Alfteli smiled and replied, "BOSS! I'm glad I won't let you down." It's done, and now you own 55% plus 11% of Amgen, for a total of 66% of the shares, plus 80% of the voting rights!"
"Oh, oh, oh, how much did it cost?"
"According to the VAM contract, 55% of the shares are 50 million US dollars. The 11% stake cost $70 million. After deducting federal and state transaction taxes, you're spending $120.3 million, $300,000 of which is attorneys' fees and the cost of hiring accountants and actuaries!"
"Oh, thank you, Al. ”
The boss and his subordinates answered each other, except for the little secretary Cameron Diaz, who was very happy next to him, and he was excited about the boss's success.
Others in the room.
To be honest, the mood is not very good. Especially the 11 small shareholders who sold their shares, among them, John Rashid was so angry that he couldn't wait to pounce on the son of the person he liked the most, and he wanted to pounce and tear off Abel's handsome face.
The other shareholders did not have a good face, only Lin Fukun quietly went over to comfort George Lassman.
When walking along the way.
Lin Fukun has already learned what is happening on the board of directors through some of his friends in the company, and also knows that Abel Sephorosa, who seems to be an omnipotent god in the laboratory, has become the biggest controller of the company through clever means.
For Abel to become the boss of the company, Lin Fukun is probably the happiest one in the company. The reason is very simple, this pure biological scientist and scholar believes that if Amgen Pharma becomes Abel's company, wouldn't it mean that Abel has become a scientist of Amgen Pharma!
A super scientist who enters the laboratory for less than two hours and is able to solve the problems of the troubled company, for several years and months.
For a company that attaches great importance to scientific research investment in the pharmaceutical industry, with such a scientist, it is like a king of pesticides, when everyone is only level three, and there is no big move, let alone a large one, a full level 15 A Ke in a god costume suddenly appeared on his side......
As the original core of his side, the third-level Xiao Houyi will of course jump around happily.
The research problem was solved, and the company also came to a great god, Lin Fukun, who didn't care much about the ownership of the company, and softly comforted the somewhat frustrated chairman:
"George. Don't do that, it's not your fault. And I think that's a good thing!"
George Lasman: "???!"
"Think about it! What kind of scientist is Mr. Sephorosa? If he is for our boss, what effect will it have for the company? Experiments that we couldn't do for a few months, he came and did it in a few minutes!" Lin Fukun persuaded bitterly, "As long as this great god is our Amgen Pharmaceutical, I think your wish to make the company the world's No. 1 biopharmaceutical will be realized immediately!"
He said so.
George Lasman, though still frustrated, still felt that it made sense.
And Lin Fukun's next words made his spirit even more uplifted, Lin Fukun said: "On the way over just now." Mr. Sephorosa told me. After he joins the company, he will start the research and development of three new drugs at the same time! One of them is chemical medicine, and he will lead a part of the team to be in charge. And the other two new drugs, as the leader, he will guide you and me to do the research of the other two biopharmaceuticals respectively!"
These words finally made the spirit of George Lasman, a scientist and scholar with heavier attributes, better.
The scientist couldn't wait to whisper, "Chemical medicine?!Oh, Mr. Sephorosa's sildenafil is a very clever and powerful chemical medicine." The research and development of two new biomedicines!Did Mr. Sephorosa say which one?!"
"Mr. Sephorosa revealed some. In terms of chemistry and medicine, he just said that a money-making drug would make the company a lot of money. There are two kinds of biomedicine, one is the research on rare drugs. And the other ......"
Lin Fukun took a deep breath, then his spirits lifted up, and he said softly: "Mr. Sephorosa said that he was drinking last night when he suddenly thought of a feasibility study of a treatment for the HIV virus!"
"HIV!" George Lasman couldn't help but exclaim!
"Yes!" Lin Fukun affirmed.
"Oh God. George Lasman hesitated, "It's too hard! It's been 10 years now, and there is no cure for this virus." If we find out......"
Lin Fukun didn't speak.
But his eyes flickered, and he was obviously very excited.
One way or another.
Lin Fukun's words relayed by Abel obviously made Mr. Chairman's frustration rekindled all of a sudden.
This time.
It's for science!
