Roswell Tower, a 30-storey building in central London, was built on the top five floors of Umbrella when it was co-located with Vanda. The two companies planned to continue to occupy the free floors according to www.biquge.info the company's expansion, and eventually the five floors were occupied.

Now, however, the fifth floor is not only fully occupied, but also crowded. As early as January, Li Zekai, who served as CEO of Vanda, had to put a large number of businesses in Building A of Vanda Square in London to leave most of Roswell's space for umbrella use. Compared to Vanda, which is constantly building commercial real estate, the umbrella of 17 pharmaceutical companies under its control, markets all over Europe, and is marching into the United States is really too large.

This is what happened when Alice arrived in London on a plane and took the elevator all the way up to the top floor of Roswell.

"Wow, wow, did I come to the market?"

Even the floor where the executive is located is crowded, as soon as the elevator door opens, there are rows of extremely dense office seats, nearly 100 employees are working the seats, more than a dozen employees are quickly shuttling between the corridors, everywhere is the sound of telephones and printers working, the scene is not too lively!

"Hey, are you new here?"

A young employee saw Alice entering the door and beckoned directly: "Hurry up and send this document to Director Michelle downstairs, KPMG's accounting team will arrive tomorrow, let them get ready!" ”

Alice raised her eyebrows, is it really the IPO work in progress?

"I'm sorry, man, but I'll leave this to you." Alice ignored him, and directly saw a principal in the crowd: "Hawkinson, give me the latest list of headquarters employees." ”

Hawkinson, who was named, was the administrative director of the company's headquarters, and when he heard the voice and looked up again, he paused for a moment, and then immediately said loudly: "No problem!" Miss Wang! Was it delivered to Mr. Spencer's room? ”

After nodding, Alice walked briskly, through layers of crowds, and then strode into Spencer's executive office, led by the secretary of the board of directors.

Oswell-Spencer is standing in front of an open space, looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows at the bustling city centre of London.

"Alice, long time no see."

"yes, I haven't been here in a while, and you're really crowded here." Alice sat directly on the guest sofa when she entered the room, looking lazy and unwilling to move: "I will change the office building as soon as I go public, I am sure to you." ”

Spencer had already transitioned from looking at the sky, and walked to the reception area with a smile: "I saw it with my own eyes, and it really felt different, right?" As I told you, the five-story office building is no longer enough for an umbrella, and it feels like a Wall Street investment bank full of traders when it's a pharmaceutical company, which makes people question our professionalism. ”

Alice rolled her eyes: "What a mess, okay, I know you're complaining, I promise to find a new place right away, what do you think about Vanda's Block B?" ”

Spencer sat on the sofa, raised his eyebrows and said: "Let's turn the address of our umbrella into the first floor of Block B of Vanda Square on a certain street in London, this kind of featureless sentence?" ”

"So, you really still want to buy a piece of land?"

Alice snorted. It's really interesting, don't look at the rapid development of the company since its inception, Spencer inevitably has something to complain about. The five floors of a building are constantly crowding space, as the former president of Pfizer in Europe, how long has he not suffered this kind of grievance?

"I'm used to the scenery here." Spencer poured a cup of coffee for Alice, still smiling lightly: "So boss, why don't you buy Roswell?" Instead of letting the company move, why not ask the small companies downstairs to move out one by one? ”

Tut-tut, what a big breath, it's obviously an unlisted company, but it's not polite to ask other companies that have settled in the center of London to roll up and leave.

This style, Alice likes.

She waved her hand and said, "These are all easy to do, but go downstairs to find a company and inform them to roll up and leave, I won't do this job." ”

"At least it's easier than building another building. Now that you have started the listing work, when the company ushers in a new round of explosive development, even if it occupies the entire 30 floors, it will not take a few years. Even if you immediately look for other suitable buildings in the urban area, don't you have to notify the settlement company one by one to relocate? ”

In this way, as soon as they entered the room, Alice and Spencer quickly decided on a big event, but since they had come from afar, of course, they didn't know what they needed to talk about. Spencer specially called the secretary of the board into the house and informed him that a meeting, an interview and a meeting would be canceled to make enough time for Alice's personal visit.

After that, the top priority was the construction of the Tokyo Science and Technology Park, which Alice had not had time to take care of since the Gulf War.

The Miyano couple also sit on the umbrella board of directors, enjoy full control of the branch, a 30-story detached building, and the total area of the park behind them is large enough to make Spencer envious at this time.

Three months into construction is enough to complete many projects. The old buildings have been demolished, all the construction waste has been removed, three seven-storey laboratory buildings have been started, and the greening of the park is also being carried out simultaneously. Due to the proximity of the site to the riverbank, a small pier was also included in the construction schedule and construction could begin at any time.

As a research center, the anticancer drug laboratory in Kyoto has begun laying out a fiber-optic network with the technical support of Cisco, and will be directly connected to the Tokyo area to share data. As for the products there, Spencer had already prepared the report for Alice to read for herself.

"So...... We're ready to open it to the public, right? ”

Alice shook the information and said: "It will take a long time for the drug to be tested, but as long as we can provide news to the public on time and report the progress, we don't have to worry about how bad the stock price of the umbrella will be after it goes public." Spencer, you should prepare for this work, since we have started the IPO, isn't this all good news? ”

Spencer nodded: "That's right, KPMG's audit team will arrive at the company's finance department at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to conduct a thorough inventory of the accounts." But Exeter's research centre and Blackwater International, which recently merged into the company, are not counted, are you sure you want to do that? ”

"Hmm...... The group company is currently only listing the pharmaceutical sector. Umbrella security, and the research team here, you know, is very independent. ”

Alice, of course, understands what the corporate structure of the umbrella is, in terms of industry and business, it is drug sales and R&D, mercenary companies, computer R&D, and so on. But in the real internal operation process, it is the marketing department, the scientific research department and the military and armed forces department, such a division!

Spencer, the CEO, is only in charge of marketing, and the research department is the Miyano couple's in Japan, and Exeter's Delof and Harry Puness's upper and lower institutes. Finally, Uncle Akkaman and Maiya are counted, forming a three-legged state.

With such a division model, of course, there is no reason for full integration and listing, isn't that scary?

So, Alice has more things to explain to Spencer.

"Depending on the company's current developments, the focus may gradually shift to Japan. Japan and China, as well as Asia as a whole, are emerging markets, and low-income people are especially dependent on weight loss drugs, and the same is true for anti-cancer drugs. And compared to the UK, Japan's technological accumulation in biology is only strong and not weak, otherwise what would we want that science and technology park to do, right? ”

"So here in the UK, the current task is to completely stabilize the pharmaceutical market. Not only diet pills, since we already have 17 pharmaceutical companies in Europe, of course, we must open up most of the channels of the category, and the current pharmaceutical groups with a history of more than 100 years should also have new members join. ”

Spencer was visibly relieved: "The European pharmaceutical market is my old business, and there is absolutely no problem in this regard. I know the whole business model of Pfizer in Europe, and I can help you reproduce it if you need it, without violating the confidentiality treaty. ”

Embarrassing is embarrassing here. It is easy for executives to change jobs to peers and still work in the same region, which can easily arouse the disgust of the old employer. It's also a shame that the umbrella has been selling weight loss pills these days, if it really sells products like Viagra and aspirin, and robbed Pfizer's original market, he Spencer is very easy to go around without eating!

"Hmm...... Words for the annexation of Pfizer...... It seems like a tempting choice. Alice, who was not shocked, suddenly came up with such a sentence: "The umbrella security is there, but it is directly on the Washington route." Under the premise that there are people above, as long as we have enough funds, even if we acquire a large pharmaceutical group, the rebound effect will be much smaller, right? ”

Spencer couldn't help but jump wildly out of the corner of his eye, and the coffee he was about to take a sip almost spewed out: "That needs billions, right!?" ”

"It's a lot of money, and billions are just a controlling stake, I know. But, Spencer, I've analyzed the prospect of the Internet financial explosion for you many times, as long as you sell some stocks at your peak, can't you save such a sum? ”

Spencer, who is not from Silicon Valley, was stunned before remembering what Alice said earlier, the Amway of the investor boss to his subordinates. You can really make it up, and then if you really buy a controlling stake in Pfizer......

Isn't he Spencer equivalent to ascending to heaven?
