Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

"An invitation from Bayer?"

After listening to John's words, Mr. Brister's heart was shocked.

"Yes, Bayer's invitation."

Shrugging his shoulders, John smiled slightly: "This weekend's ball is said to have invited many prestigious gentlemen from Berlin...... Father-in-law, didn't you receive it? ”

"Of course, I received it too.

Frowning, Brister's expression quickly turned serious.

In the field of the German chemical industry, Bayer can be compared with BASF. The company, which started as a dye, grew rapidly and became a true dye giant in just a few decades. As the German dye industry gradually dominated the world, Bayer became larger and larger, and closely followed Johan's Heinz pharmaceutical company, investing 2 million marks to build the second largest laboratory in Germany, 500,000 more than in history!

Unfortunately, the medicine of the century no longer belongs to Bayer.

Aspirin, which historically brought unimaginable profits to Bayer, has now become the flagship product of Heinz Pharmaceuticals and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of people all over the world. With advanced production technology, "low" cost and the name aspirin that doctors pronounce smoothly, it basically occupies more than eighty percent of the market share. Even if the British, the French, and the Germans have recently developed a process for producing Yixian salicylic acid, it is unlikely that aspirin will be shaken......

"Bayer has always been interested in aspirin and sulfonamides."

After a deep groan, Brister took a deep breath and said, "In fact, not only Bayer, but also BASF has sent people to visit me many times in the past two years. I blocked my efforts to authorize the production of aspirin and sulfonamides, so they used some shady means to poach a lot of researchers from our company. ”

"Hehe, I've heard of these things."

Smiling slightly, John didn't show any particular emotion. Brister had written to him about these things. Naturally, there is nothing surprising, and it is easy for people to change jobs from the future John, and it is easy to accept.

"I'm afraid it's the same purpose to invite you this time!"

After thinking for a while, Brister opened his mouth and warned: "John, what Bayer values most is aspirin, especially in the past two years, not only has we frequently asked us to authorize production, but also never stopped developing production processes. We have to be careful! ”

"Haha, don't worry, father-in-law."

After hearing this, John felt a strange feeling in his heart, and he couldn't help but laugh. In real history, Bayer was the "victim" of the aspirin war, but in this world, they have become the spoilers again, and this reversal of role is really interesting.

But after laughing. John still shook his head and said, "Father-in-law, I won't go to this ball...... Not. Anyway, I've been closed for a while, so it's not against them, so you can meet and talk to them! If they still raise the issue of authorized production, then you can tell them directly, and I can seriously consider authorizing them to produce yixian salicylic acid! ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Brister was shocked, and suddenly stood up and asked urgently, "John." You, you plan to license Bayer to produce aspirin? ”

"It's not aspirin, it's yixian salicylic acid!"

With a faint smile, John said calmly.

In John's opinion, if Bayer could pay a price that satisfies him. Why not have one more competitor? It's just the production process of yixian salicylic acid, as long as the trademark of aspirin is still in their hands, other companies are destined to be impossible to turn the sky! In fact, John has thought about it many times in the past two years, and if Bayer pays enough, he is even willing to sell part of the shares of Heinz Pharmaceuticals!

There is no doubt that Heinz Pharmaceuticals is a golden rooster that lays eggs.

But as Heinz Pharmaceutical Company grew stronger, John also slowly felt the pressure from all sides - such as the covetousness of Morgan and other conglomerates, such as the exploration of many old aristocrats and big businessmen in Germany, and even the pressure of the German government and military! You know, because of the amazing effects of several drugs, the German military has to purchase millions of marks every year, which is quite a large expense. So even if no one brought it up openly, John and old Huntelaar would have already faintly felt a lot of things.

This, like General Motors in Karlsruhe.

The more the technology of the car matured and appeared on the streets, the more John could sense the restlessness of General Motors. Isn't Benz's several unrealistic proposals to expand the scale under the guise of bringing in investors? In the past two years, although the new competitors' cars are simple and far from being comparable to the Aurora, some of the technologies are obviously GM's patents, which makes John and his grandfather a little uneasy.

So before coming to Europe, the grandfather and grandson finally made up their minds.

Of course, the European industry does not want to give up, and it is impossible to give it up, but the Huntelaar family is scarce, and it is impossible for anyone to stay in Europe in the future, and the larger the scale of the industry, the more likely it is to cause unease in the government. In the case of Heinz Pharmaceuticals, the monopoly of aspirin and sulfonamides is too strong, and the role of this era is irreplaceable, and the German government is certainly not worried that they have been held by American companies.

Today's Heinz pharmaceutical company is too large!

Tens of millions of marks in sales and net profit of more than 10 million marks per year, a figure that is too large for the German government to accept. Therefore, like the joint ventures in the UK and France, the Huntelaar family is gradually reducing the proportion of industrial shares, and it is the right way to bring in appropriate local capital. After all, the future center of gravity of the Huntelaar family is in the United States, and in New York, there is their home base!

And in addition to the large amount of cash he can get on hand, John doesn't think losing some of his shares will have much of an impact.

As early as a few years ago, Heinz Pharmaceutical Company and Huntelaar R&D Center have been completely separated, and now Heinz Pharmaceutical Company is a pure manufacturing factory, and does not have the ability to develop new drugs. And in fact, the chemical and industrial level of this era is still too low, and it is not easy to develop new drugs, and the Heinz Research Center invests millions of marks of money every year, and so far only a few new sulfonamide drugs have been developed, and without John's active guidance, their road is still long and difficult.

So in the face of his father-in-law's shocked expression, John said seriously: "That's it, we can transfer the production process of yixian salicylic acid, but we will definitely not transfer the right to use the trademark of aspirin!" In addition, father-in-law, if there is a suitable time to go back, you can also talk to the German government, and maybe the shares of Heinz Pharmaceutical Company can also be appropriately sold for a part of the ......"

……

Yixian salicylic acid is also a sensitive word?
