The source of wealth of the vast majority of the world's wealthy people will not change dramatically in a short period of time.

Like Bill Gates, the source of people's wealth has always been Microsoft shares, and after years of reducing their holdings, they became a foundation under their name, and the same is true of Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway's shares, which is the embodiment of his net worth.

Not to mention the Walton family, which controls Wal-Mart, whose stock price rises, their wealth will skyrocket, and Wal-Mart's stock price will plummet, and their wealth will shrink, and like them, there are also the Koch brothers, who own the world's largest unlisted company, Koch Industries, that is, they rely on energy.

As for people like Roland, who relied on the Internet to support themselves this year, relied on video games to expand their wealth next year, ate the cake of film and television entertainment the year after next, and went to the semiconductor industry for a share of the year after next?

Don't even think about it!

Others are involved in multiple industries, that is to resist risks, mixed business operation, may have a certain gain impact on the improvement of their own wealth, but compared with Roland, who was aiming for the monopoly of the industry from the beginning, it is too bad!

In this way, Ronald Perelman's movements, in fact, are easy to speculate, it is nothing more than rolling back and forth on several industries owned by him, even if Roland is not at ease and wants to check it, but the result is ......

Actually, it's pretty much the same.

After selling Marvel to him again, this guy who should have been tearing up with Carl Icahn in his previous life is now very moist.

Because of the large amount of cash in the accounts, the McAndrews and Forbes companies under their names did not have the same financial situation in terms of investment as in Roland's previous life, and the largest asset held by Revlon, the stock price was quite stable;

And M and F, which control 70% of the global licorice flavor market, have a stable market capitalization;

Scientific game companies, which sell gambling slot machines, electronic card shufflers, instant lottery systems, gambling control systems and sports lotteries to the world, occupy more than 60% of the market for gambling events in North America!

Its scale is as high as 20 billion!

In addition, the fourth-largest security company in the United States, which he owns, can also provide him with more than 800 million in revenue every year;

In this situation, he has nothing to do, he has a stake in SIGA, a pharmaceutical company founded in New York in 95 to specialize in the research and development of antiviral drugs, and not only that, but he is also negotiating with Citibank about the acquisition of Golden State Bank and the first Bank of Brodah, if nothing else, becoming a Citi shareholder will be his best choice.

After watching his recent series of operations, Roland feels that when he really proposes a matchmaking deal to the other party, only the pharmaceutical company can become a bargaining chip for the other party to ask for and quickly realize.

Because the small bush government is legitimate, and the pharmaceutical industry, in fact, what needs most is government support.

For example, applying for special government funding from the National Institutes of Health allows you to use taxpayer money to do your own business;

For example, if you have a good relationship with the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Administration, when the two sides get together, you can get a large number of government procurement contracts;

For example, when the National Strategic Reserve Administration approves the drugs you make, then the drugs you produce can be listed as the first choice by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and this kind of national promotion that can be listed as medical insurance is the real channel for a pharmaceutical company to obtain a lot of revenue.

Unbelief?

One Gilead can take care of health insurance in hundreds of countries around the world! When he sucked most of the U.S. government's health funds and had to ask Goldman Sachs to act as an intermediary and let Gilead reduce the price of its products, the benefits brought by a country's procurement could be reflected!

After all, monopoly is the most profitable business in the world!

And the pharmaceutical industry really can't be anti-monopoly!

Because anti-monopoly can only be implemented, only the sales and processing of APIs.

In addition, the only way to reduce the burden of consumers is through the soul-like bargaining method.

No way, who would let a pharmaceutical company's R&D capabilities fall off a cliff once it comes to a split?

It doesn't matter if Bell Labs is broken up, the demise of those technologies will only slow mankind into the information age, but if the pharmaceutical company is dismantled, who knows how many people will die next year?

Angels and demons coexist in human nature, for the sake of the greater and greater good of society, the fairness of the market......

In fact, it can be given up.

"I Am Not the God of Medicine" is indeed touching, but reality and art are often opposites.

Of course, if Ronald Perelman doesn't think it's a long-term business to get government R&D funding and orders, then he can ask for something else, such as asking Roland to push for Gilead's acquisition of SIGA.

Integrate your own business into a company with a military background and be a minority shareholder.

Such a decision not only reduces the cost risk when developing a drug, but also allows you to enjoy huge benefits.

Yes!

In Roland's opinion, this is the only industry that can intersect with the dead bald head!

Because of the finance, gambling, and security that the other party plays, he is not involved in any of them.

The entertainment, games, Internet, and semiconductors he plays, the other party has either never touched them, or they have long since quit.

In this case, the likelihood of a third-party transaction is quite low.

In this way, assessing Gilead's usefulness to him is actually the last thing to do before the appointment.

And Gilead......

It's dispensable for him!

Gilead, a pharmaceutical company, is not part of his strategic layout, and giving up the corresponding benefits does not have much psychological pressure on Roland at all, not to mention, this kind of company that can blow up the share of medical insurance in major countries around the world is not a cake that he can eat alone.

But when he contacted the other party with the idea of making a lot of money and not making a loss, the bald head who agreed to meet him did not immediately take matters into account after listening to his needs, but leaned back on the sofa with a smile and said in an inexplicably happy tone:

"So you came back this time to help George put pressure on William?

Your decision has really exceeded my expectations!

I thought that the shale oil extraction would be a struggle between the Elephant Party, which represents the interests of the energy giants, and the Donkey Party, which wants to gain popular support, but I didn't expect you, a guy who has nothing to do with energy development, to get involved? ”

When the fat-headed and big-eared guy showed Roland his own pleasure, the earth ball grass that he was staring at shook his head and denied it: "No, no, no, why am I helping George put pressure on William?"

I have no right to intervene in the struggle between the two parties.

I'm just a messenger, whether William is willing to listen, whether he will do the work of the Donkey Party, whether the Donkey Party is willing to compromise, these are not things I can decide, or rather, all I can do is find you.

Because after that, whether I can meet them or not, it's up to you. ”

Although Roland has put his posture very low, Ronald Perelman will no longer believe his nonsense, because ten years ago, this guy used to look at himself with a harmless smile and then take a bunch of Marvel rights.

At first, he thought he was clearing inventory.

But now, he understands that Marvel is really valuable.

Even though this kind of value has been reflected in the Yahoo case, he did not get more benefits from Marvel, and made a lot of money in Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo, but for the capitalists, failing to maximize the benefits is a loss.

No matter how much else they tried to make it up, they couldn't make them ecstatic.

However, this utilitarian idea is for outsiders.

And Roland......

All right.

In Ronald Perelman's eyes, Roland is at least half of his own.

This is not because the two sides once had a good cooperation, but because Roland once held the zipper on both hands.

After all, when pushing "The Shawshank Redemption", Roland was a bald man, and Roland's overtures to Zipper were equivalent to his overtures to Zipperton, and then Roland used his own news to cover up the Zipper scandal, which was more similar to the embodiment of buying groceries and encountering super doubles, although Roland did not get any actual benefits from Zipperton, but bald......

What a harvest!

Thinking of this, the smile on the bald face became even bigger.

"Okay, I know you're an actor, so don't pretend to be innocent in front of me.

You want me to help you contact William?

There is certainly no problem with this.

After all, we're all friends! Isn't helping a friend a favor a favor for yourself? ”

When Roland saw the bald head say yes cleanly, he knew that this guy must be plotting something for himself.

And when the bald Chi Guoguo told him that helping his friends was helping him, Roland was even more convinced that the mercenary businessman in front of him had already thought about the reward he deserved.

However, just as Roland wanted to ask what problem he could help the other party solve, the bald head who had not yet spoken changed his voice and said, "But ...... Before I get in touch with you, I actually want to emphasize one thing......"

"Huh?"

The bald head's pretentious appearance did not exceed Roland's expectations.

Because the more complicated the matter, the more benefits he can seek.

"You can say whatever you want."

The smile on Roland's face didn't diminish by half a point, because after doing his homework, he was rushing for a trade.

And after receiving Roland's affirmative answer, the pretentious Ronald Perelman was also happy, because it was his own rhythm, "I want to say that contact does not mean that things can be done. ”

'Hehe......'

Roland chuckled inwardly, for for him, this kind of bargaining was really nothing new.

But he still cooperated and asked: "That means that you think it is impossible for him to agree to go directly to William?" ”

“Oh！ Do you think he might agree? Ronald Perelman rolled his eyes and said, "Be sincere, if we ask like this, it won't be possible to ask for a year." ”

Roland liked this sentence, "That's okay!" You say what you want! ”

However, as soon as these words came out, the bald head shook his head, "What do I want?" Do you really think I can influence William's will? No kidding, I'm just a mediocre investor on Wall Street! ”

It seems that he doesn't want to continue to detour with Roland, but it is more like he wants to get his own interests as soon as possible, so before Roland opened his mouth to respond, the bald head said: "Since we can talk about shale oil this year, it proves that there is nothing to hide between us in a short period of time, so, the key to the matter, I will say it directly."

You help George to bring a message to William, there is no problem with this matter.

I'll help you contact William and get him to meet you, and that's fine.

But is William willing to accept it? Will the Donkey Party stop?

It's not something we can control.

So......

I suggest you get someone who can sway the will of the Donkey Party involved in this. ”

“……”

Ronald Perelman's sincere advice made Roland pout.

Involve the guys who can influence the will of the Donkey Party in this matter?

Oh, my God!

If he can find such a guy, does he need to help the little bush match?

Or, if he knew this kind of giant, with his temper, he would have licked his face and pounced on him to call Dad!

Because there are only two organizations in the world that can influence the decisions of both parties in the United States!

On one side is the 'our partners' of the Jewish consortium and on the other side the 'Hu Feng' of the Anglo-Saxons.

The former has been supporting the Donkey Party for many years, led by Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers.

The latter, a perennial supporter of the Elephant Party, is made up of Morgan Stanley, First Boston, and the Brown brother Harriman.

But even if Roland knew that these guys could influence the will of the two parties, even if he could recite all the names of these guys, it would be useless! Because he doesn't know any of them!

Knowing that Goldman Sachs came forward, then the Donkey Party would definitely pass the shale oil extraction bill?

Come on......

Where did he go to hire the people from Goldman Sachs?

Knowing that Lehman Brothers came forward, the donkey party would definitely sit down and listen to the needs of the little bush?

No kidding......

Even if Lehman Brothers has entered the countdown to bankruptcy, it is still a giant until then!

How is Roland left and right?

So, in his opinion, the opinion of the bald head is tantamount to nonsense.

Because the forces that are not under his control have no effect!

And he also believes that it is absolutely impossible for these guys to do bullshit business with themselves.

So—

"No, can you say something constructive?" Since the bald head made him sincere, then he said bluntly, "If I could invite Goldman Sachs, would I still sit in front of you?"

No kidding!

By the time George begged me for help, William was already in Washington.

Oh no! When I wanted to make "House of Cards", the project was already established! ”

As he spoke, he sighed vigorously and shook his head.

The puffing appearance made the bald head smile.

Although he knew that Roland was telling the truth, he ......

What he said was actually a constructive suggestion!

"You can't reach Goldman Sachs?"

"Don't you talk nonsense?"

"But I can......"

“？”

Roland was shocked.

When he frowned and cast a strange look at the other party, the bald head who had already lit a cigar smiled very happily.

"Actually, before you even looked for me, someone had already approached me and wanted to get in touch with you through me.

One of them is called the Guggenheim.

The other is called Goldman Sachs. ”

Ronald Perelman, winking at Roland.

The smile that flashed in his pupils made Roland frown.
