Chapter 217: Mr. Xu's Amway dream collapsed

Xu Teng really made a shocking major news this time, so big that it caused a sensation across the country, thundered over one billion people, and completed a very beautiful science popularization work, almost so that the whole country can surf the Internet, and everyone who can read the newspaper knows what gravitational waves are. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This one is kind of special.

Xu Teng used the thinking of a senior public relations and financial officer to deliberate repeatedly all day before finally making this somewhat strange decision.

First, the problem of money, this is not a problem, the initial investment of 4 billion, and the subsequent ten years, the annual investment of 400 million is not a great financial pressure for the Xu family.

Second, it's not a high-forcing thing, it's a super-high-forcing thing.

Third, it is powerful and effective, instantly shocking the whole country and affecting the world, tying "Xu Teng" and "high-tech" to create a new image.

Fourth, whether it is capital strength or ideological realm, the gap between him and everyone is widened in an instant, from top to bottom, from local governments to ordinary people, everyone knows that he is NO1.

Fifth, the public welfare attribute, once in place, ranked first on the charity list within ten years, and got rid of the gap between others for decades.

Sixth, blow up a solar effect in the scientific and technological community to attract more experts to invest in the Huateng system.

Seventh, if gravitational waves can really be discovered, that is a new chapter in human history, not how much money can be measured, why must Americans be allowed to discover them?

In fact, for everyone, the payee is the 4 billion big check of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the center of the storm, and everyone remembers this digital unit, 4 billion!

Xu Teng is in place in one step, surpassing all living beings, and his ability to attract fans is the first in the country.

If you have money, it's normal to create a new realm.

The Internet has long been messy in the wind, the sea of anger is churning, Xu Teng's Tencent blog has almost been crowded, and there are dozens of related news on major portals, all of which are piled up in the headline range, and each news has a minimum of hundreds of thousands of comments.

September 12, 2004, was destined to go down in history.

Xu Teng is indeed a little too fierce, he doesn't make a move easily, and he blows up as soon as he makes a move, objectively speaking, he and several academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have calculated, 8 billion is basically enough.

Although the National Science Foundation of the United States is expected to invest more than one billion dollars in LIGO, and the European Academy of Astrophysics is unlikely to invest less than one billion euros, in terms of efficiency-cost ratio, the effect of Huateng LIGO Research Institute's investment of 8 billion should be more effective than these two.

About 2 billion, equipment and infrastructure are basically enough, enough to reach the level of the same period in Europe and the United States, or even surpass.

Xu Teng's budget of 3 billion yuan in this piece is nothing more than to do his best, the Chinese Academy of Sciences will definitely apply for new funds with the government, plus Xu Teng has 400 million operating and follow-up investment costs a year, President Lu is a reputation guarantee, and he will definitely be able to catch up with Europe and the United States.

Because of this field, there has been basically no major progress in the past few decades, and it is all in the exploration stage, and no one knows what to do next.

This is just Xu Teng's stepping stone, a little bigger, almost stunned the Chinese Academy of Sciences, follow-up quantum computer, quantum communication, artificial intelligence research, as long as Xu vacates funds, the Chinese Academy of Sciences opens the door to engage in production and research cooperation.

Dean Lu likes Xu Teng's science and technology trench who loves natural science.

Although the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not short of funds, but the more scientific research funding this kind of thing is definitely the better, if Chinese entrepreneurs are like Xu Teng, an additional 4 billion yuan of scientific research funding every year, it is simply great!

On September 12, Xu Teng signed the agreement, and on September 13, he left the capital by plane and flew to California, the first stop was Sacramento, where he was invited by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to visit California.

Xu Teng actually found it hard to imagine what it was like for such a big man to be governor, and he really thought it was interesting after meeting, Schwarzenegger's last movie before running for governor was "Terminator 3" with him, which hit a record box office.

Time has passed, Schwarzenegger has become the governor of California, and Xu Teng has become the richest man in China, which seems a bit weird.

The governor is very talkative, Xu Teng visited the United States this time, and the governor arranged several very special itineraries for him, including a meeting with President George W. Bush, half an hour, and a dinner of a very high standard.

Xu Teng hadn't thought about it, and when he informed him, Schwarzenegger and Huayin had already made arrangements.

The timing of his arrival is also very special, it happens to be the election period of the 55th president of the United States, and Bush Jr. still needs Schwarzenegger to help him build momentum in California, because this place has always been a big vote base for the Democratic Party.

He didn't even know what kind of campaign activities and intentions Bush Jr. had promised to see him, anyway, it was a half-hour conversation and a 25-minute dinner time.

For the Chinese, George W. Bush is actually the most grateful US president, who fought for eight years, provided China with many good strategic opportunities, and owed a lot of debt, which directly led to the financial crisis.

In China, politics is politics and business is business, and in the United States, politics is business.

Xu Teng also hit the muzzle of the gun this time, and was taken as a political show and grabbed the news, of course he also needs this kind of reception, which is conducive to his investment and business in the United States.

He's just a little confused, and he doesn't know how to use this kind of network and this kind of show.

When I arrived in the United States, I met with Governor Schwarzenegger on the first day to talk about new energy, cooperated with Schwarzenegger's Green California slogan, pretended to talk about the meaning of new energy, and on the third day I went to Washington, D.C., and actually slipped into the White House and met His Excellency George W. Bush, the US President whom the Chinese people love the most.

This one really has an IQ problem.

Xu Teng waited for fifteen minutes before chatting with him for fifteen minutes, basically not knowing what he was talking about, so that Xu Teng wondered if there was a problem with his English level, and finally took a few photos to show off his presence, and then attended the dinner.

George W. Bush sat at the dinner for 20 minutes, and an adviser of unknown rank gave a speech, and for the rest of the day, the president was talking to other people, and all kinds of messy people surrounded the president.

Xu Teng ate silently, because there were several ambassadors present at this dinner, not only the Chinese ambassador, but also the ambassadors of several Asian countries, all of which were of a diplomatic etiquette nature.

What kind of state dinner is the specific nature, Xu Teng doesn't know, the Asians of Yishui, he is simply inserted, redundant.

It doesn't matter, Xu Teng takes Xu Teng's photo, the president takes the president's photo, and everyone eats with the Bo page.

After the dinner, he was stuffed into the car and returned to the Adams Hotel near the White House, the whole person was in a state of confusion, and on the way back he took a Lincoln, Yu Suyun accompanied him, and asked him very excitedly what it was like to meet the president?

What does it feel like?

It's like making a movie, the script is fixed, he is still an extra, he gets on the camera when he arrives, rolls off the camera, and continues to eat a box lunch for 25 minutes.

The next day, Xu Teng read the newspaper and looked at the photos of him and George W. Bush, and learned that these Yankees were showing off the president's pro-people style for the Chinese to appreciate.

He didn't even know what Bush Jr. was talking about in the middle 15 minutes, all kinds of questions about IQ barriers, such as how old you are this year, what you make money in China, what goods you export to the United States, and what you like about the United States.

Grass.

Didn't this bastard do his homework beforehand?

In the past few days, he has been busy and busy, participating in the itinerary arranged by the Huayin Department everywhere, Xu Teng is busy and dizzy, today he can finally be quiet, eat breakfast quietly, read the newspaper, and enjoy the special page left by the Washington Post for him.

This is really not going abroad and not patriotic.

Xu Teng drank coffee, flipped through a few pages of the newspaper, and then threw this American newspaper aside, too lazy to take another look.

The Adams Hotel is a well-known and long-established hotel in the DC D.C., close to the White House, and is a low-key king, and many European political leaders visiting the United States like to stay here.

Xu Teng's visit to the United States this time was dazzling, and there were more than 20 people in his entourage, so he booked a presidential suite and six business suites at the Adams Hotel.

Finally, there is no other itinerary today, he can quietly enjoy the morning tea time, quietly in a daze, and think about it.

Around 9 o'clock.

Chen Shufen hurriedly came over with two assistants and handed over today's Tencent blog update content to Xu Teng for review in advance, two completely different styles for Xu Teng to choose.

Xu Teng's Tencent blog was opened very early, almost the earliest batch of big V, the update speed has not been fast, and finally began to pay attention to it, making an important self-media publicity window, with a team of four professionals responsible for updating and management.

Of the two updated drafts submitted today, the first one made Xu Teng frown, but he still read it patiently, and then he glanced at Chen Shufen more.

This is the candidate recommended by Mei Jiali, a Hong Kong native, and a typical Hong Kong female name, a few years ago, she was still called Huang Chen Shufen, and later divorced and changed back to Chen Shufen.

She is actually a Shanghai girl, she went to Hong Kong with her mother in the late 80s, graduated from Hong Kong Chinese University in 95, first worked as a reporter at the South China Morning Post, joined JWT PR in 2001, and was already the media director of JWT Shanghai before joining Xu Teng's assistant team.

There is no problem elsewhere, the business literacy is very good, Chinese, Cantonese, Shanghainese, and English are very fluent.

There is only one problem.

This is a democratic hawker, of course, at this stage, it is still very in line with the trend of the young public, a well-known female literary youth, her own blog style is basically Luqiu Luwei's routine, similar templates and thinking patterns, showing the high IQ of independent media people between the lines.

When she first joined the team, she personally ghostwrote the blog posts drafted by Xu Teng, and Xu Teng basically read one by one.

Xu Teng originally had a business plan for Tencent News Agency, and finally after internal discussions within the Huayin Department, he adopted the model of cooperative operation with China Media Group, and he sent Qin Xiaolu over to serve as the deputy director of the editorial department of Tencent News Agency.

Later, Mei Jiali recommended this Chen Shufen as his media public relations consultant, because the other party's ex-husband is a vice president of Fuxin Group, after all, he is the media director of JWT Shanghai, and his ability is very good, a professional strong woman, and he has deep connections in the media field.

For all bosses, the competence of employees is often only one aspect of the requirement.

Xu Teng is the kind of boss who is very good to his subordinates, and he has a high tolerance, otherwise Chen Shufen would have been kicked out of the team a long time ago, the reason is very simple, it is not in tune, and many bosses often do this kind of thing, because it is really difficult to find an assistant who is in tune.

Xu Teng is lucky, and the most important assistants around him are generally very compatible, such as Yu Suyun, Han Dai, and Yang Jiachuan, a senior financial consultant, and Associate Professor Tao Meixia, a senior scientific advisor, who joined later.

This Chen Shufen is out of tune.

Xu Teng read the two blog posts carefully, and if he is satisfied, he will choose one to update, the problem is that he is not satisfied with either one, one is all kinds of showing off, kneeling and licking the United States, and the other is more life-oriented, and petty bourgeoisie is rampant.

He threw the two blog posts aside and asked Chen Shufen, "Isn't the image you originally helped me formulate a rookie route in the workplace, isn't that good, why have you changed your thinking recently?"

"Chairman, my thinking has not changed, I think it is necessary to be closer to the collective trend of thought of middle and high-end youth. Chen Shufen defended a little, thought about it, and reminded Xu Teng very cautiously, "Your current dimension is too high, so it is really difficult to grasp the part of Wenxuan." ”

"You take all the materials, I'll write the copywriting myself, okay?" Xu Teng was speechless, what is so difficult, show life normally, pick out more friendly photos, and write a sentence or two of supporting words.

Han Dai is actually the best at this, but she wants to stay in the Yangtze River Science and Technology Building to preside over the work of the assistant group, and update Xu Teng with the work progress information of various departments in a timely manner every day.

Xu Teng sent Qin Xiaolu away, because Qin Xiaolu didn't do very well in this regard.

Soon, Xu Teng got all the materials accumulated during the two-day trip, more than 200 photos, some of which were provided by the media and some of which were taken by the accompanying team, and the White House dinner accounted for half of them.

He chose two photos.

In several photos with George W. Bush, Xu Teng chose a photo that seemed to be a farewell and wrote a caption, "One day, we will miss him!"

Subsequently, he chose a photo that Chen Shufen would never choose, sitting alone in the corner of a long table eating Western food, from this photographic point of view, he is still quite lonely, next to a certain diplomatic bureaucrat of the South Korean embassy in Washington, everyone seems to be talking, except for him eating steak and holding a glass of champagne.

The caption is "The best rice record of the year, is there any?"

"It's very simple, isn't it?" Xu Teng threw back the selected photos and captions, so that Chen Shufen could see them clearly, and looked at her with a dissatisfied expression, "You don't need to be too diligent in updating the blog post, just once or twice a week." If you have photos to update, don't post a tirade, you're using me to promote the superiority of the American bureaucracy...... Or do you think that being received by President Bush is the pinnacle of my life?"

There are some things that Xu Teng really can't say, this is a kind of subconscious in his heart, and the two media commissioners selected by Chen Shufen are the same as her, both of them are proper US imperialist superiority.

Three guano.

This is Chen Shufen's biggest problem, Xu Teng originally thought it was not very important, he just had to count it himself, but now that he thinks about it, it is really easy to have an accident, and he will be replaced immediately when he returns to China.

The problem is that this kind of person in the field of media and journalism grabs a lot of them, whatever they want, and they are all US imperialist superiority, and the southern department is just more out of line.

Not only to have the ability, but also to be in tune, but also to work hard, where to find such employees?

Xu Teng was too lazy to take classes with Chen Shufen, it was difficult to correct the thinking in his bones, no matter how capable he was and his connections, he was thinking about what to do with these three guano, Yu Suyun hurriedly came in and signaled to Xu Teng, Harvey Camille, the senior partner of Huayin in the United States, had arrived at the Adams Hotel.

Harvey Camille is the CEO of Herbalife Group in the United States, and during this time, he was responsible for the acquisition of Jiananxi, and the negotiation was a bit difficult, and the price offered by Huayin was a premium of 35%, and the merger of Jiananxi at a total price of 2.24 billion US dollars, and the other party was still considering.

The day after Xu Teng arrived in the United States, he met with Mr. Xu, John Wally, Xu Liangjie and others in Silicon Valley, including the president of Harvey Kamil, and talked for an afternoon.

Xu Teng could only wave his hand stupidly, signaling Chen Shufen and the two media commissioners to leave first, covering his face, lamenting that life is unfortunate and good employees are hard to find.

A few minutes later.

President Harvey Kamil hurriedly walked into Xu Teng's room, although they had met and talked about it two days ago, there were many things to talk about at that time, and the deal of Jian Anxi had not been able to be discussed in depth.

Business in the U.S. is hard to do.

In addition to using dozens of family trust funds to disperse some shares of Apple, Google, Amazon, and Flix, as well as part of the shares of Facebook that they recently acquired, the rest of the business is incorporated into the Huayin system, and the senior partner model of the Huayin system operates the American Phoenix Capital APK Company and Herbalife Company.

Mr. Xu has been in the overseas capital market for a long time, and the general direction is clear, acquiring luxury goods and wine companies in Europe, investing in network technology and biotechnology companies in the United States, targeting iron ore and bulk commodities in Australia and Latin America, and investing in Macau and South Korea mainly in gaming hotels.

Although there has been a long period of operation and accumulation, after all, it is an overseas investment, so far it is difficult to say that there are deep connections, and even the lack of a complete set of mature operating mechanisms for the entire European and American investment environment, a bit chaotic, a hammer in the east, a stick in the west.

Xu Teng's visit to the United States this time is actually to help Huayin deal with the mess.

Huayin currently controls APK company and Herbalife company in the United States, and the general direction is high-tech.

As for Jian'anxi's acquisition, strictly speaking, it is only a supplement to Huayin's health care industry, improving the basic market, and the only defect is that Jian'anxi's price is too high.

The total price of US$2.24 billion, which is the price at which the two major controlling parties of the Jianxi Group, the Shakarian family and the Boston Investment Company, exited the pallet, including the total cost of the tender offer for other minority shareholders.

The current market value of Herbalife is 3.5 billion US dollars, and 3/5 of the equity is concentrated in Huayin, which is 5.4 times higher than the trough price of Huayin at the end of 98, and has surpassed Jian'anxi Group last year.

Xu Teng and President Harvey Kamil talked behind closed doors, and the current acquisition plan is a joint acquisition of Huayin and Herbalife, using this merger and acquisition, Huayin will hold more than 3/4 of the shares in the new company Herbalife-GNC.

The Boston Investment Company is an investment bank that accepts companies in crisis at a low price, injects capital to improve their business conditions, and then sells them at a high price, which is the easiest way to make a profit.

The Shakarien family also has no intention of continuing to hold it, and selling it at a high price is in line with their wishes, because in the American market, in addition to the three major competitors of Amway, Herbalife, and NBTY, there are also a number of newly rising small companies that are eyeing the health care product market.

Xu Teng had a little headache, the offer of 2.24 billion US dollars was indeed a bit too high, and Mr. Xu was actually not very satisfied, but no matter how low it was, others were not willing to transfer.

According to GNC's financial report, last year's net profit was $130 million, and Herbalife's net profit last year was $190 million.

Xu Teng also made a plan for Huayin, once the acquisition is successful, it can transfer Herbalife (herbal life) to women's makeup and health products, forming a complementary effect with GNC to counter the combination of Amway and ARTISTRY.

Even so, can it really be earned back in ten years?

Xu Teng didn't know, of course President Harvey Camille wanted to acquire, and after working hard for half a year, it was not easy to negotiate like this, and health care and medical care were the basic plate of Huayin.

Mr. Xu was actually a little coerced and left this matter to Xu Teng for decision-making.

Xu Teng patiently listened to President Camille's discussion of the acquisition plan, according to the current acquisition plan, the direct expenditure of Huayin is 1.5 billion US dollars, and the financing loans provided by the rest of the major financial institutions are secured by the equity of Herbalife-GNC, with an annual interest rate of about 7%.

"I don't deny that this is a very good business, but I really doubt that this transaction is reasonable in terms of the utilization of funds?" Xu Teng regretted, he thought for a long time and decided to make an instigated decision for Mr. Xu to veto the transaction.

Xu Teng remembers that later, a state-owned giant company tried to acquire GNC, and the transaction price was about 2.5 billion to 3 billion US dollars, which was after several rounds of QE in the United States.

This shows that the Shakarien family and the Boston Investment Company really want to cash out, get capital, and invest in new technology areas.

Mr. Xu has always had an Amway dream in his heart, and he has no way to acquire Amway, so he has to buy GNC, Xu Teng can understand this mood, but it is not the best acquisition opportunity at present, not to mention the product line and brand value of Herbalife, which is basically enough for the Boan Group of Huayin.

Xu Teng was very embarrassed, he had just squandered $500 million to donate to the gravitational wave ligo project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, pursuing his long-cherished wish, and he turned around and cut off Mr. Xu's long-cherished wish.

This one...... I'm so sorry.

Xu Teng signaled President Harvey Camille not to be in a hurry to refute, and sent a text message to Mr. Xu, informing him of the decision of "Chairman Xu Teng, Senior Holding Partner of Huayin Department", and after thinking about it, he turned his laptop screen in a different direction and asked President Harvey Camille to take a look at the information he was studying.

"The decision I am making now is the final decision of the Huayin Consortium and Boan Holding Group, and Herbalife will move its headquarters to Silicon Valley and its financial settlement center to Ireland within three months. ”

Xu Teng clicked the mouse and retrieved the k-line chart and information of the gene sequencing instrument company iiiumina, "After I return to China, I will internally adjust the shareholding structure of Herbalife, transfer the controlling stake to the name of Phoenix Capital in the United Kingdom, and the original plan to inject $1.5 billion remains unchanged." You use this part of the funds to buy iiiumina, and strive to solve it at a price of less than $500 million, with the minimum goal of getting half of the absolute controlling stake, and the original governance structure remains unchanged. The rest of the money is going to be used to invest in other biotech SMEs, or to lock up the regeneron company directly, and I'm interested in their technology to treat macular retina with biogene technology and monoclonal antibodies to treat tumors, and both companies need capital. ”

Xu Teng first determined that there was no problem with the investment of iiiumina, and there was a certain risk in Regeneron, but with three Nobel laureates in biology presiding over the scientific research, if this was not successful, Xu Teng could smash all the biotechnology companies in the United States.

He believes that success is only a matter of time, and instead of throwing money around like other American capital companies, it is better to focus on the two companies to ensure that they will succeed.

After all, Huayin's foundation in Europe and the United States is too shallow, and there are basically not many connections to speak of, and a large number of investments in biotechnology companies will have to deal with the FDA at a high frequency, which is a nightmare for Huayin.

"It's good business, no problem. President Harvey Camille knew very well that Xu Teng's English level could only be regarded as a good job, and he could roughly cope with normal business conversations, and the answer was very simple, although he had a lot of ideas in his heart.

What kind of person is this, it is the kind of Anglo-looking old man who looks serious, silver-haired and bald, very tall and thin, like a bamboo pole, almost 65 years old, it is simply the Anglo version of Jiang Ningyuan, gloomy, not very pleasant.

This person was formerly the CEO of Herbalife, has been working for more than 20 years, and holds 4.7 million shares in Herbalife, accounting for almost 2% of the total share capital, most of which are given by Mr. Xu, and the voting rights account for 5%, which is also sold by Mr. Xu.

Therefore, this person still has a good impression of the Xu family, and without the Xu family, it is impossible for him to jump from a million to a net worth of 70 million US dollars.

Although there were only two very short contacts, Xu Teng felt that the other party could almost be described as loyal, because the Xu family and the Huayin Consortium had always entrusted him with important responsibilities and absolute trust, of course, he didn't know that the Huayin Consortium had no choice.

Mr. Xu really had to have a choice, so he relied on the old thing to run the herbalife company into such a miserable state, and he would have eliminated the old guy a long time ago.

"Are you sure there is no problem, I mean two mergers and acquisitions?" Xu Teng did not want to doubt the other party, and did not tell the other party, when he met with Governor Schwarzenegger before, he privately asked if there was a more suitable person to be responsible for the investment in the biotechnology field.

"No problem, it's all investment bank holdings, as long as we are willing to pay a higher price so that they can make a quick profit, no one doesn't like this kind of trading. President Camille spread out his thin hands, looking very powerful, probably afraid that the heir of the Huayin Consortium would directly veto him.

People are very complex, and everyone is self-interested.

Compared to Mr. Xu, who can't speak a word of English and whose origin is always unknown, President Camille actually likes the new person in charge, who is the richest man in China, the chairman and founder of a high-tech company.

Xu Teng still has a little bit of popularity in the United States, has acted in the movie "Terminator 3", published many best-selling science fiction novels, and after he became the richest man in China, he also appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, and it was time in front, which means that the editors of Time Magazine like him very much, thinking that he is a representative of China's "new era" and the spokesperson of the free market economy.

"Herbalife's operation in the United States should not continue to expand its direct stores like GNC, but increase its marketing and promotion ...... on Amazon and e-commerce!" Xu Teng was a little bit of a broken egg, talking about e-commerce with a 63-year-old man who has been working in the health care industry for decades, and he might as well be dead.

"No problem!" President Camille continued to agree with the position, and from beginning to end, he repeatedly replied to Xu Teng with a line "noproblem", so that Xu Teng had confidence in him.

Xu Teng thought silently, it is estimated that President Camille may be suspicious of the GNC acquisition negotiations he presided over, and the final price and plan did not satisfy The-Shunfamliy, so Mr. Xu was very unhappy and suddenly left the United States and gave up the plan to acquire GNC.

Therefore, at this time, President Camille only wants to keep the position of CEO of Herbalife, no matter what Xu Teng says, he only has one sentence of "noproblem", as for whether there is a problem, old Camille will go home and think slowly.

"Mr. Camille, I would like to tell you that China is a conservative liberal country, and we emphasize individual freedom with extreme emphasis on morality. The-Shunfamliy is a family of affection and heritage, and trust, gratitude, integrity, understanding and loyalty are all necessary business virtues in our country. As a merchant family, I was taught from a young age to abide by these basic morals. Perhaps, it is difficult for you to understand that in our country, if a big businessman does not abide by these basic morals, he will even be regarded as a bad person. ”

Xu Teng had no choice but to flicker the old man, and looked at the old man's eyes very sincerely, "Now, please tell me very truthfully, how feasible are the two mergers and acquisitions I mentioned, if it is very difficult, we can work together." ”

“ok…… I really want to tell you that the odds are really low. President Camille believed it, really believed it, and told the truth, "IIIUMINA is definitely on the list of companies prohibited by foreign investors from being acquired by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and more than half of Herbalife's shares belong to international capital, and even if we reach a transaction price, there will be all kinds of complicated situations in the approval process of the Commerce Department and Congress." If you really want to make a deal, you'd better be prepared with a bunch of bastards who lobbied the council for a lot of money. ”

"The situation with Regeneron is a little better, but behind this company are Sanofi and Bayer, you only see superficial commercial agreements, to hell with these agreements, they have long been acquired by international capital, these agreements are just tax avoidance clauses for the transfer of profits. Camille completely believed Xu Teng's flickering, to tell the truth, there was one thing to say, "Believe me, I would rather buy GNC, this is a company that no capital will rob, and we can make stable profits." ”

Xu Teng didn't know what to say, he knew that the old man in the United States was also very powerful and had been lying to him.

"Are you sure there is no way, there is no possibility?" Xu Teng was ready to be replaced, he should not deceive an old American, but, business is business.

"We're going to work hard to get these two deals done, it's a lot of trouble, but it's good business, it's a very good business, I can use some of my contacts and find some of the best lobbying firms, and as for Regeneron, maybe it's going to cost a lot of capital and I'm going to have to invest more money in the future, but that's fine. The old man of the United States, President Camille, immediately changed his rhetoric, "This is the United States, as long as we have money, all problems are not problems." ”

Xu Teng generally understood that the substitution was unnecessary, but he had to find a way, or pay more chips, the former was definitely worth it, and the latter, he gambled.

If you follow the English translation, regeneron should be the legendary Regeneron company, a colleague of Xu Teng bought their medicine from the United States to treat macular degeneration for his father, which is said to be the only proven effective drug in the world, the price is scary to death, a box of medicine, six potions The cost is worth Xu Teng's monthly salary.

In any case, being able to gather three Nobel laureates in biology is a very demanding thing in itself, and it is worth the risk. (To be continued.) )
