Text Chapter 856 NBA Draft
For 41.5 billion US dollars, the SS consortium took Pfizer, the "cosmic pharmaceutical factory", under its command, and this news is like a powerful nuclear bomb, which not only exploded in the biomedical industry, but also caused huge ripples in the world's top wealth circle.
Don't look at the Standard Bank Group in the United Kingdom to make such a big move, successively acquired the Royal Bank of Scotland and National Westminster Bank, thus expanding its power in the field of finance and banking into the British Isles in one fell swoop. However, to be honest, the top wealth circle did not react much, or even took it seriously at all.
As for why?
Quite simply, because the SS consortium is already very strong in the field of finance and banking, and even the absolute NO.1, other consortiums can no longer do anything about it. Even, it is no exaggeration to say that some consortia still have to live on the snort of the SS consortium in the field of finance and banking, after all, not all consortia are strong in the banking and financial industry - Rockefeller, a pervert who started from oil and became strong in the financial and banking industry in one fell swoop, has not seen a single one in a hundred years.
Therefore, for the SS consortium's big move in the financial banking industry, the top wealth circle does not care much, which is originally one acre and three points of land.
However, this time the SS consortium suddenly entered the biomedical industry, and directly swallowed the "cosmic pharmaceutical company" Pfizer, which is very amazing. In this way, the SS consortium will instantly turn itself into a super-hegemon in the biomedical industry, and it is completely impossible to suppress - what do you say to deal with a super pharmaceutical giant like "Cosmic Pharmaceutical Factory"? There is no way to do it!
Even, if you don't blow it up, even the DuPont consortium can't take Pfizer, there is no way, people are the absolute leader in the pharmaceutical industry. Don't look at Johnson & Johnson, but I'm sorry, it's just because he has crossed too many industries, such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, daily chemicals, etc. If you just talk about the biomedical industry, hehe, it's really not that you look down on Johnson & Johnson, and it's really not comparable to Pfizer.
Again, Pfizer's name as a "cosmic pharmaceutical company" is not in vain.
For the SS consortium to suddenly make such a big move in the biomedical industry, the world's top wealth circle is indeed quite unstable, no way, the SS consortium seems to have the idea of attacking the traditional big industry. There is no doubt that the SS consortium is a hungry wolf, and whichever industry he rushes into, he will definitely make a bloody storm in which industry, and it is basically the existence of absolute hegemony.
Now, the financial and banking industry, the entertainment industry, the news media industry, the diamond industry, etc., the SS consortium has completed the global layout, and they are all absolute hegemonic levels. In addition to the financial and banking industries, other industries such as entertainment, news and media, and even the emerging Internet industry, are nothing to those established consortia, because in their view, these are just additional products of big industries.
Hehe, I have to say that these old consortia are really a little outdated, and it is estimated that they can't imagine that with the rapid development of the global economy, such as the entertainment industry, the Internet industry, etc., will develop to such a crazy point in the future. In particular, the Internet industry will drag the global economy forward in the future, and even, to a certain extent, it will mark the top level of global technology.
Of course, these are definitely unthinkable for those old consortia, they will only think that the future development of the Internet and other industries will be good, and they will never think that it will be so awesome. In the eyes of these veteran consortia, big industry is the foundation of a consortia, and these are the fundamentals that are closely related to all mankind.
Therefore, many old consortia will tightly control these vital industries, including petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, steel, military industry, etc., which are called "survival industries" - industries closely related to the "survival" of all mankind, which are absolutely indispensable. However, industries such as entertainment, media, and the Internet are called "life industries" β above survival, but not necessary.
It seems reasonable to think about it, after all, human beings can survive without movies, records, the Internet, etc., but how can they survive without drugs and food.
However, the times are constantly advancing, so later these living industries are all very popular - although they are still not as good as those big industries.
Therefore, this time, the SS consortium acquired Pfizer and inserted it into the biomedical industry strongly, and instantly became a hegemon, which really made many old consortiums unable to sit still. Among them, DuPont is the most cheerful, after all, if the SS consortium grows bigger and expands, the first to bear the brunt is their DuPont consortium.
The DuPont family can be said to be one of the oldest, most mysterious and most powerful consortium families in the United States, in more than 200 years, they started with gunpowder, and then gradually inserted their sphere of influence into the arms, petroleum, chemical, construction and automobile industries. Among them, DuPont Chemicals can be said to be the most important part of the DuPont family, they are quite awesome in medicine, and have penetrated into the hands of many pharmaceutical giants - such as Johnson & Johnson, Roche Pharmaceuticals and so on. Among them, Pfizer should be regarded as one of the few pharmaceutical giants that has not been infiltrated by the DuPont family, and this is one of the reasons why the SS consortium chose Pfizer.
In fact, what the DuPont family is worried about, Su Chenyu's heart is clear, it is nothing more than worrying that after the SS consortium strides into the biomedical industry, it will enter the chemical industry or the arms industry vertically and horizontally.
Hehe, I have to say that the DuPont family really thinks too much, Su Chenyu is indeed ...... I would have wanted to break into the basic industries of chemical industry and munitions. Could it be that DuPont and these old consortia think that as long as the SS consortium does not enter the pharmaceutical industry, they will not enter the big industry?ββ is naΓ―ve?
However, one thing has to be admitted, that is, the strength of these veteran consortia is indeed quite strong, and Su Chenyu does not want to confront them for the time being. Therefore, after the SS consortium successfully swallowed Pfizer, Su Chenyu did not continue to stimulate these "old cannon consortiums", but chose to hibernate temporarily. Otherwise, now Su Chenyu would definitely have raised his butcher knife and slashed at the other pharmaceutical giants, he is not a good-tempered person - this time, he still endured it.
Besides, those who become big things are not limited to one moment, let the bullets fly for a while!
Well, actually, Su Chenyu has other things to do now, so since there is no way to advance here, let's put it aside for the time being.
Just when the outside world was still grasping the Ginkgo Fund's $41.5 billion to eat Pfizer, Su Chenyu had already started another big thing. However, before this incident, Su Chenyu decided to relax himself, that is, to see this year's NBA Draft - the 1996 NBA Draft.
The 1996 NBA Draft was the "96 Golden Generation", which is definitely the memory of a generation, and they perfectly succeeded the 84 Diamond Generation and became the heroes of the NBA to the world.
However, although the 96 golden generation is very awesome, after all, it gave birth to superstars such as Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, Steve Nash, etc., but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Su Chenyu and the Bulls!
Because, these people can't take the turn of his Bulls, they don't have any good signings in their hands at all, how can they sign these geniuses to the team. There is no way, who let the Bulls cut down the NBA championship again after the comeback of Joe's gang leader, together with the "big dream" Olajuwon, the two "champion shows" and "tanhua shows" of the 84 diamond generation, - helping the Bulls achieve six consecutive championships.
Therefore, in this case, how can the Bulls get a good signing, if the Bulls get a good signing, it is estimated that other team owners in the NBA league can go crazy. You know, now that the Bulls' six consecutive championships have made the rest of the league miserable, let them choose these future stars with obvious potential, then everyone will go crazy. Even David Stern won't allow the Bulls to make any more trouble in this draft, and their six-game winning streak has already made it hard for him as the president of the NBA.
In fact, David Stern really thinks too much, Su Chenyu and the Bulls don't plan to choose someone from the "golden golden generation" at all, after all, the current camp of the Bulls is not too short of guards. However, this draft, or the "96 Golden Generation" is a generation of guards who shine, whether it's Allen Iverson or Kobe Bryant and so on, they are all guards.
For guards, with Joe's help, at least for now, the Bulls don't need it. What's more, if the Bulls really want to find someone, then they don't have to go through the draft road at all, ANTA's ABCD training camp has a lot of future superstars, and some of the current NBA players are from ABCD training camp.
Of course, this must be against the agreement between Su Chenyu and David Stern, but it doesn't matter, do it secretly.
There was no deviation in this year's draft, Allen Iverson was still drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers as the first pick, and the famous "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant was still picked by the Charlotte Bobcats with the 13th pick, and was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.
After watching this year's draft without any interest, Su Chenyu yawned and patted his ass and left, after all, this is just a relaxing episode, he really has more important things to do.
As for whether the Bulls have any players they want, hehe, there must be, but not in this awesome "96 Golden Generation", but in the ......
