Chapter 14: Preparation and Confrontation
"This guy!" On the way back to Zhang's villa in London, Zhang Yao, who had a handsome face, frowned tightly, and patted the seat hard with an irritated face.
When Zhang Yao came, he thought that he had taken the advantage, but unfortunately the guy with the same surname on the opposite side did not enter! Even if he said that his lips were dry, he was not moved in the slightest. He'd never been in this situation before. In the past, when I went out to talk about business, as long as I mentioned the name of the Zhang family, who would not be defeated immediately? Why did you meet a stunned young man today?
Zhang Cheng's meaning is very clear, if you can't talk about it, you won't sell it!
Zhang Cheng's performance made Zhang Yao feel faintly uneasy in his heart. The trip to London was clearly not as easy as it had been.
Zhang Yao didn't think about using unpopular means. It's a pity that there are too many people staring at Pfizer. The Zhang family also paid a lot of price in exchange for other families not to interfere. If Zhang Yao used abnormal methods, it would mean that he had taken the initiative to break the default rules and give the other families who were eyeing him a mouthful. In that case, the Zhang family not only gave benefits in vain, but also lost the opportunity to get Pfizer. Zhang Yao, who messed things up, will definitely not have a bright future in the future.
What can you do if you only use normal business methods?
Because he was forced to hand over the Pfizer pharmaceutical company, all shareholders hated the Zhang family to the core. Trying to break through from the inside is simply nonsense. The people are now united, ready to slash the Zhang family's body.
As for other methods, at this moment, sulfonamide drugs are popular all over the world, and when the patents are in Zhang Cheng's hands, none of them have any effect.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yao's mood became even more irritable.
"Young master, this is the closing price of Pfizer today." The middle-aged steward on the side could feel that Zhang Yao was in a bad mood now. But he can't afford to do the work that needs to be done. I could only bite the bullet and hand over the envelope.
"Huh?!" Looking at the dazzling price written on the letter in his hand, Zhang Yao's breath suddenly increased.
"Someone is pushing up the share price of Pfizer." Zhang Yao's eyes were cold, "Needless to say, I know that those guys did it." I was careless. I didn't expect them to be so difficult. ”
"Young Master, what should we do now? Do you want to?" the steward on the side raised his hand and made a gesture.
"We are merchants, so we have to follow the rules of merchants." Zhang Yao waved his hand and rejected the steward's proposal. There are too many people staring at this matter, and many methods cannot be used. "Let's raise the price next time we negotiate."
Leaning back on the back chair, Zhang Yao lowered his eyelids expressionlessly, as if he was resting, but in fact, his heart had turned over and over. "It's not easy to do this at such a young age. If you have a good background, maybe you will also be a hero. Some of the methods are not easy to use now, but when things are understood, then let's talk about them. ”
Zhang Cheng returned to his villa and handed his coat to the respectful-looking housekeeper James, "Are you back?" ”
"It's back, it's all in the basement." James's words made Zhang Cheng pause slightly, then answered, turned around and walked towards the basement.
"Brother Cheng!"
"Boss."
"Boss."
Zhang Cheng pushed open the basement and walked in, and several of his comrades-in-arms in the mercenary group immediately put down their work and looked at him with joy on their faces.
"Good work." Zhang Cheng smiled and raised his hand to pat Guan Kuo's shoulder on the side, and walked to the wooden table in the middle of the room. Picked up a Li 28-year-old rifle and skillfully pulled the bolt. In the midst of the 'bang' sound, the bullet was loaded, and he squinted his eyes and made an aiming motion in his hand, "Not bad, good thing." ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Looking at the full array of weapons on the table, Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
The world is chaotic, complex, and dangerous. After Zhang Cheng has money, he naturally wants to use force to protect himself. At this time, the comrades-in-arms who have experienced the test of life and death in a trench are the best choice.
After Pfizer paid its first dividends, Zhang Cheng sent a telegram to several comrades-in-arms who were fighting the herders in Morocco, inviting them to do something for him.
"Boss, this batch of arms cost a total of three thousand two hundred silver dollars. This is the rest of the payment. Unlike Guan Kuo, who is young and admires Zhang Cheng, He Laosan and they always call Zhang Cheng the boss. Even if there was indeed a friendship in the past, now after all, he is working for others. They still understand the basics of dealing with people.
"Take it, buy wine for the brothers." Zhang Cheng smiled and waved his hand, asking He Laosan to put away the money. If you want people to work for you, it is necessary to pay generously.
"Do you know who you are? There's no problem with where this batch came from, right? Zhang Cheng looked at Liu Kuaizui on the side.
"Boss, you can rest assured." Liu Kuaizui, who had been in the Royal Army, replied in a deep voice: "The biggest taboo in this line of work is to inquire about the origin of the guests. As for this batch of things, they are all 'scrapped' guys in the army. All the information has been burned, and absolutely no one will find out anything. Liu Kuaizui is very clear about the doorway here, and the reason why he left the army back then was because of this kind of thing.
"Hmm." Zhang Cheng nodded, and looked at He Laosan, who had the most calm personality, "Take the brothers to the nightclub to relax." Find a beautiful girl for Guan Kuo, she is still a chick when she is so old, how embarrassing it is? ”
"Hahaha~~~" When Guan Kuo's cheeks were red, several people all laughed out loud.
Working hard in the colony, living a life of a mercenary who licks blood every day. Aren't these men from poor families at the bottom of the empire pursuing luxury and indulgence?
London is already in winter at this time, and the temperature is only a few degrees when it is low. Zhang Cheng, who wanted to go out for a walk, put on a white sweater and a thick windbreaker for himself, and then got into his car and "went to Central Park." ”
In this cold weather, there are almost no people in Central Park. Zhang Cheng walked slowly to the pavilion, recalling the glimpse of a few months ago.
At this time, the piano in the pavilion had been removed, but Zhang Cheng still seemed to be able to see the long-haired girl's clear eyes as bright as crystal.
"Is it spring?" Zhang Cheng raised his hand and patted his cheek, and laughed helplessly.
Since coming to this era, Zhang Cheng has been busy in order to survive and get ahead. Dealing with all kinds of people all day long, I don't have time to think about what kind of children's affection is.
"When it's over, do you want to find out the identity of that girl?" recalled that at that time, many young people scrambled to open the screen and show their farts. The scene of showing off himself, Zhang Cheng raised his hand and pinched his chin, thinking about it seriously.
Zhang Cheng is just an ordinary person, and he also has seven emotions and six desires. It's also natural to have a love for a girl who has a good feeling in her heart. After a pause in the gazebo, Zhang Cheng decided to wait for the company's affairs to be over before going to the long-haired girl.
My Fair Lady, what a gentleman
"Business, after all, it is negotiated." When talking about business, there will always be one person who sings red face and one person who sings white face. Zhang Cheng has always been stunned, and he is very unhappy and doesn't want to sell it to you, so Xu Mu naturally has to pretend to be a good person.
"I know that." Zhang Yao, who looked indifferent, twitched the corners of his eyes slightly, coughed and raised his voice slightly, "It's just that when talking about business, you have to be sincere." We've been talking for a week, and you're still biting the impossible price and not letting go, how can we continue to talk about this? ”
The Zhang family's takeover of Pfizer is only relative. The longer the time drags on, the higher the likelihood of something happening. After all, the Zhang family can't cover the sky with one hand in the Ming Empire. If someone really snatches it away, then the first unlucky person is him Zhang Yao.
"It seems that the reputation of our Zhang family is of little use here." Although he was unwilling to do this, Zhang Yao could only threaten at this time.
Xu Mu's expression froze, and the words that had already reached his mouth were also taken back. Songjiang Zhang's family, for Xu Mu, it is like a sky-like existence.
A flash of disdain flashed in Zhang Yao's eyes, and then he turned his gaze to Zhang Cheng. opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something, he was directly pushed back by Zhang Cheng.
"Then send it directly to the Zhang family." Zhang Cheng's eyes were cold, "We made a statement in the newspaper, because we admired the reputation of the Zhang family in Songjiang, so we gave Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company to the Zhang family for nothing, what do you think?" ”
"You!" Even with Zhang Yao's cultivation, he was angry and gritted his teeth, and his eyes were red and he looked at Zhang Cheng with an indifferent face.
If Zhang Cheng really did this, then the Zhang family's reputation would be over. With a market value of over 100 million yuan and a world-famous Pfizer pharmaceutical company, why did it give it to the Zhang family for nothing? How much dirty is going on behind this? Is Shousuke-sama involved?
Chinese people have always paid attention to face. Which of the various families does not have a good reputation for building bridges and paving roads, and being kind and generous? Once the news of this forcible seizure of other people's family property spreads, what will be left of the reputation that the Zhang family has accumulated over hundreds of years? If a person who does business has no reputation and credibility, what kind of business is there? The bigger the business, the more so.
The other families of the same level will definitely fall into the well immediately and stomp on the Zhang family a few times!
The most important thing is that this matter may also involve Shousuke-sama. This is the most unacceptable thing for the Zhang family.
Zhang Yao can confirm that if things develop like this, then his life will be over. It's even worse than those second ancestors who eat and wait for death all day long!
originally wanted to use the family's reputation to exert pressure, but unexpectedly, it gave others an excuse to be angry. Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, that's what I'm talking about.
Even with Zhang Yao's cultivation, he was choked with anger. His reddened eyes stared at Zhang Cheng, and his hands clenched unnaturally.
Xu Mu was also very surprised. He really didn't expect Zhang Cheng to be so resolute. That's the Zhang family in Songjiang Mansion.
"Huh~~~" After all, he is the leader of the younger generation of the Zhang family, and Zhang Yao quickly calmed down his emotions. After closing his eyes and soothing for a moment, Zhang Yao slowly raised his eyelids and breathed a sigh of relief, "Say, what is your bottom line." Don't waste everyone's time anymore. ”
Zhang Yao also began to lift his hole cards.
