(Happy Holidays!) I don't go to accompany my sister on this kind of day.,And come to send a 3,500-word chapter.,The conscience of the industry is wood.,Everyone collects and recommends it.。 ）

"Very well, dear Helen, will you pour a glass of wine for Mr. Leslie and Mr. Christian? Congratulations on their imminent joining the ranks of the rich. Li Jie waved his hand in satisfaction, and called the beautiful flight attendant who was standing aside and was frightened, and poured a glass of whiskey for both of them.

"Mr. Marcos will be the legal counsel for the new company, and he will prepare a lucrative contract for you. The initial annual salary is set at $300,000, and the bonus will be arranged at the end of the year according to the performance of the work - mainly my mood, do you have any comments? Li Jie picked up his glass, although it was a question, but his tone was not disobedient at all.

This time, Kit and Izzie Kiel reacted, and quickly shook their heads, they all belong to the type that is motivated, willing to work hard but has not yet emerged, the previous annual income was nothing more than around 100,000 US dollars, and Izikiel was higher at about 15 or 60,000 per year, and now it has more than doubled, and I am so happy in my heart that I almost even dispelled the shadow brought by Li Jie just now.

"Then, gentlemen, after drinking this glass, get ready for the first one—I will buy all three companies." Only then did Li Jie reveal the mystery.

“what？！ Why? The three of them, including Flor, were all shocked, didn't they say that they would investigate first, and how could it be all acquired. Of the three companies, Inset is the smallest, and Citi gives a valuation of $90 million; Sleipnier is second, with a valuation of $170 million; The least favored Kobist Gene Science is also the largest, with a valuation of more than $300 million.

"Although the reports and results of these three companies are average, I only need their commercial departments, research teams and laboratories, and after the successful acquisition, all the laboratories will be transferred to new research directions, and I will arrange this aspect, so you don't need to worry about it." In fact, Li Jie cares more about Corbuster Genetic Science, and the other two are not so much biotechnology companies as biopharmaceutical companies, and their technology accumulation is not as good as this one.

"In other words, Boss, you need research resources more than results? If that's the case, I have a suggestion that as a result of the financial crisis, a lot of small biotech companies have actually closed down, and a large number of related employees have lost their jobs or are facing unemployment, and you can completely re-recruit them. The situation is even worse in Europe, where more than 20,000 biotech workers are said to be unemployed, and if they can't be hired in the United States, they can be recruited in Europe. After thinking for a moment, Izkiel made a suggestion.

"Good, that's a good suggestion." This is what Li Jie did not expect. "Izikir, remember to remind me about recruitment." The employment relationship is determined, and the title is changed accordingly.

"Bruce, is it necessary to slow down large-scale recruitment, after all, it is necessary to consider the cost of human resources, integrate on the basis of the existing three companies, and wait until the results are not too late to scale." Flower listened with some horror.

"It's okay, we're not going to start hiring right away. Moreover, these two things are not in conflict, I will figure out the problem of funding, and all you have to do is to help me expand the research team. Li Jie applauded lightly, and made a good suggestion for Itzikil, which also showed his full confidence.

―――――― Dividing Line――――――

California is located on the west coast of the United States, bordering the Pacific Ocean, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and Baja California in Mexico. With an area of about 410,000 square kilometers, it is the third largest state in the United States. Most of these large cities are located in cooler areas of the Pacific coast, including San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, and the state capital, Sacramento, is less well-known.

Los Angeles is the largest city in California and the second largest in the United States, after New York. Nicknamed the "City of Angels", this famous coastal city is a jewel embedded in the coastline of the southwestern United States, with beautiful scenery, beautiful scenery and cosmopolitan style, combining prosperity and tranquility. Los Angeles has an air port system consisting of four airports, including Los Angeles International Airport, Ontario International Airport, Palmdale Regional Airport, and Van Nays Airport.

After a nearly six-hour flight, the jet arrived around the end of the evening and landed on a private tarmac that had been arranged beforehand. Citibank's VIP motorcade was already waiting in front of the tarmac, with a Cadillac Escalade in front and behind, and a black Rolls-Royce Phantom in the center - this is probably the favorite luxury car of the rich in the United States, but Li Jie is not interested in it.

In Los Angeles in the evening, the sea breeze is light and cool, giving people a very pleasant feeling. Guarded by Gus and another bodyguard, Li Jie stepped down the gangway, and a middle-aged man who appeared extremely shrewd and capable stepped forward to open the car door for him with a smile. "Welcome to Los Angeles, Mr. Lee, I'm Dewar Vijri, Private Banking Specialist, and I'll take care of everything you need in Los Angeles."

"Very well, Mr. Vijri, this is a good start." Li Jie patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and sat in the car.

Next, it took three days for Li Jie to take Flower and others to inspect two of the objects to be acquired this time: Splenier and Corbist Gene Sciences. In general, there is not much difference from the information they learned in advance, and if they can win it, it will basically achieve Li Jie's acquisition purpose this time.

Among them, the president of Splanier Company was simply enthusiastic about their arrival, and followed Li Jie throughout the arrangement, it seems that this decrepit guy has already had the idea of leaving.

The top management of Corbyst Gene Sciences, another company in the worst situation, also welcomed their arrival, but Li Jie always felt a little strange, especially since the company's largest shareholder, Gilbert E. Gordon, had not appeared from beginning to end, and this was still when the two sides had already communicated in advance.

Today is the third day, and Li Jie led everyone to the core of the company, the Corbist laboratory, but was stopped in the last area.

"I'm sorry, you can't go in." The two security guards guarding the door were a little trembling when they saw the giant-like Gus, but they still stood in front of the door with their duties.

Li Jie looked up at the sign on the door: Genetic Engineering Laboratory.

"I thought Kobyst's genetic lab had been canceled?"

"yes, yes, there's just a very small team left here, basically doing sporadic and simple side tests." Christopher R. Henderson, the company's president, seemed embarrassed, though more concerned about the sale. This is a fat man weighing 260 pounds, maybe it's too difficult for him to run around with Li Jie, even if he blows the air conditioner in the laboratory, he is still sweating profusely.

"And you won't let us in?" Itzikiel frowned, it was time for him to charge for his boss. "Mr. Henderson, I don't need to remind you that transparency is a prerequisite for us to formally propose an acquisition."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Joey, don't open the door yet." President Henderson's face turned ugly and he instructed the security guard.

President Henderson...... Dr. Gordon said that his experiments had reached a critical juncture, asking that no one should go in and disturb them. The two honest-looking security guards were still a little hesitant with embarrassed faces.

"Damn it! I advise you to think about it and open the door for me now! President Henderson finally became angry, lost his patience, felt the bruises on his forehead jump violently, and even the fat on his chin shook with anger, which looked a little funny.

"It's okay, we'll keep it quiet and not interfere with the doctor's experiments." Li Jie suddenly became interested and reassured the security guard.

The two security guards finally couldn't resist the pressure and opened the door with sad faces, while whispering begging them to be quiet.

After opening the door of the laboratory, what he saw was completely beyond Li Jie's expectations, the space inside was very large, and the equipment was very good, but there were only two or three people.

Two young people were obviously assistants, and only one middle-aged black man was standing in place with some frustration at this time: "Failed again, why?" I should be heading the right direction...... Why is this happening......"

It seems that this is Gilbert E. Gordon, the largest shareholder and chief scientist of Corbyst.

"As expected, you've failed again. Gilbert, it's time to face it. The obese Henderson seems to have no reverence for the company's biggest boss, but rather some schadenfreude.

"Would you like to tell me what this is all about? Mr. Henderson, Dr. Gordon. Li Jie stepped forward and shook hands with Dr. Gordon, who had failed the experiment, and this middle-aged man, who was handsome among the blacks, was still more personable, although he looked a little lost because of the blow of the failed experiment, he still squeezed a smile out.

"See, Gilbert. Mr. Li is a very sincere boss, it's time to get back to reality! Your research has no future, and research that cannot be translated into financial benefits is meaningless! Henderson slapped his face, and the spit was about to splash in Dr. Gordon's face, as if trying to wake the guy up.

"No, no, you won't understand Chris, my research is of academic value and contribution." Gilbert Gordon still muttered to himself, not taking his word for advice.

And Henderson was obviously accustomed to his reaction, so he didn't pay attention to him at all, and explained to Li Jie and them with a smile.

It turned out that Corbyster was mainly involved in the sequencing of the human genome in the early days, and under the research of the team led by Gilbert Gordon, it still developed very well. But since the U.S. government declared that all human genome data is not patentable and must be disclosed to all researchers, the company has had to shift its focus to drug discovery.

Gilbert Gordon is truly passionate about research in the field of genetic engineering, and he is unwilling to give up his long-term research, so he divides the company's R&D into two parts, one team is responsible for biopharmaceuticals, and he leads the other team to continue to engage in genetic research.

At first, Christopher Henderson was expectant and tolerant of this, he understood the importance of R&D to a technology company, but day after day, year after year, Gordon's team never had particularly outstanding results, and even if there were occasional breakthroughs, they could not create benefits for the company, and even many researchers gave up, either jumping to other companies or moving to the pharmaceutical R&D team. Finally, Christopher, as the president, couldn't bear it anymore and gave Gordon an ultimatum that if he couldn't produce meaningful results, he would give up the genetic engineering R&D department.
