Chapter 1199: How Can You Suffer in Vain?
Andrew smiled bitterly, and although he didn't petition, he had to admit that what Benier said did make sense: "Mr. Benier, you are right, when I made an offer to the people at Siemens, they knew that I would not poke the news out...... I was stupid and didn't even think of such a simple logic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info//↑,”
"You should be glad that fortunately your asking price is not high, the opening price of $20 million means that Siemens may only need to spend about $10 million to hide this matter, the cost paid by Siemens is not high, if you offer Siemens a price of 100 million, 200 million US dollars, it is unknown whether you can live now."
"This ...... This...... How can it be?! Andrew was frightened and shouted in disbelief: "How dare they? ”
"Do they really not dare?" Staring into Andrew's eyes, Benier asked lightly.
“…… Do they really dare," Andrew gave in to the staring of Benier's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything: "There is nothing that these medical giants dare not do, well, Mr. Benier, what do you need me to do?" ”
"ICQ will report on this, we will seek the help of General Healthcare, and as for you, Mr. Andrew, we are willing to pay $10 million from you to buy that NMR equipment with a nuclear radiation leak."
"You ...... Buy it? Andrew's eyes widened and he cried out.
"Of course we have to buy it, we have to buy it, but we also have to find a safe place to hide it to prevent Siemens from doing it in secret, as for the cost......" Benier pointed to the bag on the table and said apologetically to Andrew: "This is an anonymous treasury bond worth $10 million, I'm sorry I lied just now." ”
This bag is not what you think, but $10 million worth of Treasury bonds?
Andrew, who originally thought that his windfall dream was shattered, looked at this information bag that represented a fortune worth $10 million, and then looked at Benier, who was vaguely aware of the meaning behind Benier's action. Swallowing heavily again, he cautiously asked Benier, "......What is this money?"
"This is the information fee that ICQ pays you and the fee you pay for damages," Benier said without hesitation, "I think you should be able to realize what such a powerful piece of news means to ICQ." ”
The media in the United States have the habit of buying information for a fee, but $10 million buys a piece of information. I'm afraid it also set a record, Andrew kept wiping the sweat from his head, but the sweat just wiped off and then came out.
His heart was also like a roller coaster, up and down, and for a moment he thought that he had to work hard. was able to get more than $10 million from Siemens, and after a while, Benier made him realize that not only could he not get the money, but even had a very high chance of losing his life, just when Andrew was in the mood of "it would be good to be alive and maintain this property", Benier threw a $10 million worth of US Treasury bonds in front of him, and told him that as long as you cooperate with me, the money is yours.
The stimulation was too strong, but it was bad to toss the concubines.
"$10 million? This...... This ......" Andrew kept wiping the sweat from his head, he wanted to say that it was too much. But how can there be a reason to push the money sent to the door out? "This ......" for a long time, and Andrew didn't have "this ......" come out one, two, three, four.
And although the $10 million offered by ICQ is less than what he hoped to get from Siemens Healthineers before, but after Benier's analysis, Andrew also wants to open it, Siemens Healthineers' money seems to be easy to get, but it is thrilling, and even a small life may not be guaranteed if one is not careful, for the sake of insurance, it is safer for ICQ's $10 million.
"You deserve it," Benier interrupted Andrew with a smile. "Of course, in order to ensure that we can both fulfill our responsibilities, I have a small suggestion. ”
"Speak, please." Andrew nodded repeatedly, thinking that he had $10 million worth of bearer bonds in front of him. Andrew's heart was trembling, and at this moment, no matter what Benier was saying, he would not hesitate to agree.
"Let's find a bank that both parties can trust, put the money in, and you will be able to withdraw the money after 3 months. What do you think? Benier asked Andrew.
Three months to get your hands on? Andrew was slightly stunned, and then understood the meaning of Benier's move: what if he got the money now, and turned around and "cooperated" with Siemens Healthineers to pit ICQ?
Not to mention friendship and trust, this thing does not exist in the capitalist world at all.
Andrew didn't feel anything wrong with Benier's proposal, and he even applauded Benier's decision: "It's a really good idea, and it's settled...... Well, the right to dispose of that MRI equipment is all yours, and the relevant technical information will be transferred to you immediately, and from now on, that equipment is yours, and everything is up to you. ”
He is not stupid either, he knows very well what Benier will ask for after paying such a large sum of money, and since Benier has done such a beautiful job, Andrew is not ambiguous...... Nima: $10 million!
………………………………
Coming out of Andrew's Hospital, Benier turned around and dialed Jeff Brown, CEO of General Electric's Medical Group. Call from Immelt: "Mr. Immelt, yes, I'm Benier...... That's right, we now have ample evidence that a brand is comparable to GE Healthcare...... Of course, of course, it is the one that has a business conflict with GEMS, and the equipment has serious quality risks...... Of course, we're ICQs...... Okay, I'm looking forward to it. ”
Hanging up the phone, a pleasant smile appeared on the corner of Benier's mouth: Ha...... Let ICQ pay $10 million on its own? How is this possible?
For the meeting with Benier, Jeff. Immelt is looking forward to it, not only because the news brought by Benier is a great opportunity for GEMS to expand its market share on a global scale, but also as an opportunity to clean up the company that Benier is talking about. Immelt has roughly guessed who it is, either Siemens Healthineers or Philips Healthcare, these two companies have a lot of overlap with General Medical in terms of business, no matter which one, as long as ICQ has conclusive evidence to prove that their products have quality hazards, General Medical will definitely not give each other any chance......
Think of this wonderful prospect. Although it was winter, Jeff. Immelt's sweat was still pouring out, and it was as lively as a spring.
But Jeff. Immelt never expected that Benier would bring such exciting news!
"Hah...... Nuclear radiation leakage from nuclear magnetic resonance equipment? "Jeff. Immelt could no longer contain the excitement in his heart. Laughed wildly: "Hahahaha...... I praise you, O God! This must be your chance to give General Healthcare! ”
Although I don't know if it's something made by Siemens Healthineers or Philips Healthineers, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter, this situation has arisen. It was a catastrophe for the company in question, but for the company's competitors, it was a God-given opportunity.
Benier reminded him: "Mr. Immelt, I must remind you that, based on our sampling of several similar products of this brand, there is only one such case of a machine that has leaked nuclear radiation......"
"No, no, no, Mr. Benier, you don't understand," said the excited Jeff. Immelt interrupted Benier before he could finish speaking, waving his arms excitedly and saying, "The point is not how many cases there are. Rather, this situation arises, and for medical devices, this situation is absolutely not allowed, one case! For general healthcare, just one case is enough......"
Benier pursed his lips and looked at the ecstatic Jeff. Immelt laughed and said nothing: Of course he knew that for a world-class medical equipment giant like General Healthcare, if a competitor showed a hole, they could tear a hole from it that was big enough for a train to pass through, for example? Driven by the right strategy. With this example here, it is enough to make this competitor doomed, and at worst, it will be undead and peel off its skin.
Jeff. After all, Immelt is the CEO of a vast medical device empire, and after a brief period of ecstasy, Jeff. Immelt looked at Benier. "Well, Mr. Benier, now you say, what do you need?" ”
Benier didn't answer right away, but looked at Jeff. Immelt said leisurely: "Mr. Immelt, maybe you don't know. In order to get the news, in order to grasp this equipment that has a nuclear radiation leak, we spent a lot of money, with bearer treasury bonds worth 0 million US dollars, to get the ......"
After saying that, Benier immediately kept silent, as long as Jeff. Immelt is not stupid, he certainly understands what he means: we have spent more than 0 million dollars for this news, what do we want from General Healthcare, how much do we want, you say?
As for the small details that the actual transaction price has changed from $10 million to $20 million, well, those are all trivial things that are not worth mentioning, and it would be good to brush them over with Spring and Autumn brushwork.
Jeff. Immelt immediately frowned: he knew that ICQ's appetite was definitely not small, otherwise he would not have let Benier come forward in person, but for now, ICQ's appetite was still beyond his imagination. After a long while, he asked Benier in a deep voice: "So, Mr. Benier, tell me, what do you need?" ”
How could the cunning Benier open his own mouth? He smiled slyly, shook his fingers lightly, and said, "No, no, Mr. Immelt, this is not a qualified cooperative attitude...... Well, if that's the sincerity of GE Healthcare, maybe we can talk to Siemens Healthineers and Philips Healthineers? ”
Jeff. Of course, it is impossible for Immelt to let Benier go to Philips Medical or Siemens Healthineers, no matter who this guy is looking for, it means that General Medical, who knows the news, has no way to make corresponding countermeasures to the situation, so he can only drink soup behind others. Immelt was horrified by another implication in Benier's words: How do you know that this device is not your general medical one? i
This sudden realization of the problem made Jeff. Immelt was so frightened that the hairs on his whole body instantly stood up: if the MRI device that had a nuclear radiation leak was really from General Healthcare...... ICQ has partnered with Siemens or Philips again, and the consequences are severe. Immelt couldn't have imagined!
Looking at Jeff who was sweating all of a sudden. Immelt, Benier was satisfied: that's right!
Take a deep breath, Jeff. Immelt forced himself to calm down, and then said slowly: "Okay, I was too impulsive just now, and I'm very sorry for that." ”
Lao Bei is also a good comrade, he is very considerate of others, and he is very generous at the moment: "It's okay, I can understand." ”
"Honestly, it was a bit of ......a sudden," said Jeff. Immelt carefully weighed his words, making sure that his words would not irritate Benier, lest things get out of hand: "I need to report to the board of directors and discuss how the two sides should cooperate, so ......"
"I can totally understand," Benier said, standing up and taking the initiative to say to Jeff. Immelt held out his hand: "I'm looking forward to our next meeting." ”
Although it has been communicated before, of course, the communication on the phone is not as good as this kind of face-to-face communication, Comrade Lao Bei is a good person, he is very considerate of the difficulties of general medical care, and he is very careful to leave enough time for them to discuss, but he also carefully reminded Jeff. Immelt: "I don't have a lot of time, though, so I'm ......"
"Soon, I promise!" Jeff. Immelt swore an oath.
………………………………
In Jeff. When Immelt swore to Benier's gambling curse and wanted to take out his heart and liver to show Benier, Lin Zheng looked at Scott in front of him. McNeely, frowning.
This guy is a well-known big mouth in the IT world, and now Lin Zheng is even beginning to wonder if his cooperation with Sun is really wise enough, because this guy's mouth is really too stinky.
It was Lin Zheng, who didn't have much patience, that he had to remind Scott. McNeary: "Mr. McNeary, I admire the achievements of Sun, but achievements only represent the past, and now, Sun's company is in more trouble than a little, if you continue to do this, I think there is probably nothing to talk about between us."
