Chapter 68: Return to the original track
In the face of Shaklu's sarcasm, although Tony was annoyed, he could only hold on, pretending to be unimpressed and replied: "You don't care about this, in short, now we Bayer are buying back the patent rights of eflornithine at a high price, I don't know if Mr. Pandit is willing to sell!"
"Since you're willing to pay a high price, then I'll hear how high it is!" said Shakru casually.
Tony stretched out a finger and replied, "Ten percent, we are willing to buy back at a premium of ten percent, which is $3.3 million!"
Hearing this figure, Shakru couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "I thought Bayer's high price was so high, it turned out to be only ten percent, so we have nothing to talk about." ”
"Mr. Pandit, you've made $300,000 in less than half a month, what else do you want?" said Tony, frowning.
Shakru snorted coldly and said, "Making $300,000 in half a month is indeed a lot, but in this matter, Mr. Tony, you are bullying me for not knowing the true value of eflornithine!"
"What else is the value of eflornithine, which is to cure African sleeping sickness. Tony replied with a relaxed face, and then added: "By the way, we have also promised to produce a part every year in the future for the treatment of sleeping patients in Africa, so that it will be okay!"
Unexpectedly, Shakru shook his head and said, "Of course you can't." ”
"And how much do you want to sell, Mr. Pandit?" asked Tony, impatiently.
This time, Shakru also stretched out a finger: "Ten times on the basis of my purchase price!"
"Ten times more? So, isn't that 30 million dollars? Mr. Pandit, are you crazy?" Tony exclaimed in shock, but in his heart he thought, it's over, it seems that this guy really knows the effect of eflornithine in cosmetics, otherwise I wouldn't dare to say the price.
Sure enough, in the face of Tony's exclamation, Shakru said indifferently: "Mr. Tony, you don't have to look like this, since you are willing to come to China from Leverkusen to talk to me about the repurchase of eflornithine, it means that you have discovered his true value, then you should know that the price I offered is very reasonable!"
"So, what do you think is the true value of eflornithine?" asked Tony, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
"What else, of course, is to inhibit the growth of female facial hair, only this kind of cosmetics market involving tens of billions of dollars, I dare to offer a price of 30 million dollars!" Shakru replied bluntly.
Hearing this, Tony suddenly collapsed, it seems that this guy really knows, although he still doesn't know whether he knew it before he came to buy it or just recently, but the result is the same, that is, it is impossible to buy it back with millions of dollars.
Therefore, Tony replied very simply this time: "Since you know everything, Mr. Pandit, and I can't make the decision with such a high bid, I have to go back and report it to President Hoffman, and the board of directors will decide whether to buy it back!"
Originally, Tony was retreating and wanting to lower the price, but he didn't expect Shakru to say disapprovingly: "Then you go back and have a meeting to study slowly, but I won't wait for you, I am now entrusting a laboratory to conduct an experiment, as soon as the data report comes out, I will also want SK, Lancôme, Estee Lauder and other cosmetics groups to send invitations, if you buy late, don't regret it!"
"You!" Tony was helpless in the face of such a naked threat, and finally had to sigh and leave.
But in fact, Shakru is really not all a threat, he really plans to sell the patent rights of eflornithinine, because he does not have the ability to develop cosmetics at all, so it is better to take the opportunity to make a big profit, of course, there is a premise here is that whoever buys it, must ensure that a batch is produced every year to sell to African sleeping patients.
But to be honest, it is Bayer that Shakru really wants to sell, after all, only Bayer really understands the function of eflornithine in cosmetics, even if he has a data report in his hand, it is not easy to convince SK and other big cosmetics groups.
Back at Leverkusen, Hoffman was also very angry after hearing Tony's report: "I just said that there is no good person in India, who used to be a hooligan who arbitrarily produced generic drugs in disregard of the right to use patents, and now it is even more excessive, and he actually uses the drugs we have worked so hard to develop to blackmail me.
"But boss, if we don't buy it back, then he may really sell it to cosmetics groups like SK or Estee Lauder! And to be honest, his price is not particularly excessive!" Tony cautioned.
"Of course I know this, but what I can't stand is that this guy just bought me for three million, and then sold it to me ten times higher than the price as soon as he turned around, and if this is known to the outside world, then where will I put my face?" Hoffman replied angrily.
"Well, if that's the case, then we have to buy back the patent for eflornithine, so that when we sign the contract, we can ask the Indian to keep this matter secret, so that no one will know." Tony suggested.
Hearing this suggestion, Hoffman was a little moved: "Hey, this is also a solution, but in this case, then the price will not be negotiable." ”
"Didn't you just say that the price is actually reasonable? Tony prompted.
Hoffman thought for a moment, and then replied: "Well, well, then you go and stabilize this Indian first, and then I will study this matter with the board of directors, but it really can't be done, so I will buy this patent back at my own expense, anyway, as long as it is developed, it will definitely not lose money." ”
Half a month later, Bayer bought back the patent rights for eflornithine for $30 million plus selling a certain amount of eflornithine to the African market at cost price every year, and at the same time Xakoru agreed to keep the matter a secret.
In this way, Shakruhin found that in fact, in the eyes of the outside world, this result was almost no different from the memory of his previous life, the only difference was that he had gained 27 million US dollars in it......
PS: I saw the book "The Most Powerful Admiral in the History of the Navy" on the homepage, I thought it was a naval text, but I clicked in and saw that it was actually a pirate, this damn title party......
