Chapter 280: Rejection
In the reception room, a balding middle-aged man and a blonde foreign woman sit on the sofa. Beside them, there were two assistants.
If anyone is here, they will definitely be able to recognize the bald middle-aged man who is Wu Xiaobin, president of Pfizer Greater China.
At this time, Wu Xiaobin was talking to the blonde woman.
This woman is the representative sent by the U.S. headquarters, mainly responsible for this contact with the marching ant company, Wu Xiaobin, as the president of Greater China, came with her in order to facilitate communication and coordination with the marching ant company.
Recently, Haixing Company has been in the limelight because of two drugs and has made a lot of money. Statistics show that their company's Viagra sales have also been affected by Haixing's 'Sea Might', which has declined a lot.
It's no wonder that so many companies are afraid of marching ant companies, anyway, there are industries that marching ant companies are exposed to, and they are the ones who are unlucky in the end.
In the past, it was the mobile phone industry, and Apple and Samsung were unlucky. When computer operating systems and office products came out, it coincided with the rampant epidemic of computer viruses, and the office products of Microsoft, Apple and Umbrella Company fell into bad luck again.
I didn't expect the marching ant company to enter the pharmaceutical industry, and this news was beyond their expectations.
Since its appearance, marching ants have been branded as unicorns in the tech world, and now they have touched the pharmaceutical industry, leaving them at a loss of what to say.
The door of the reception room opened, and when he saw Zhao Min and Xiaoyu, and a robot walked in, Wu Xiaobin's face was relieved.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao, I'm Wu Xiaobin from Pfizer." Wu Xiaobin stood up and stretched out his hand to Zhao Min with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Wu, I have admired my name for a long time." Zhao Min politely shook hands with Wu Xiaobin.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhao said that he laughed, I have admired my name for a long time." Wu Xiaobin smiled kindly: "Let me introduce you, this is Elena, the representative of Pfizer Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in the United States." ”
"Hello." Zhao Min greeted with a smile.
"Hello, Ms. Zhao." Elena looked at Zhao Min carefully and shook hands politely.
"Why are you two here today?"
Zhao Min walked to the sofa opposite the two of them and sat down naturally.
Hearing the assistant's translation, Elena's eyes were a little surprised, in her impression, Chinese people like to go around the bend, this is why they have the title of cunning Chinese people, I didn't expect Zhao Min to be so direct.
"I came here today to discuss something with Mr. Zhao." Elena was not pretentious, and went straight to the topic: "We, Pfizer, want to buy a stake in Starfish, or buy shares in Starfish." ”
"Sorry, Starfish is not prepared to transfer shares for the time being." Zhao Min didn't have any surprises, just smiled lightly.
The face of the capitalist is to see that the peaches are ripe, just like coming to pick them. From the inception of the marching ant company to the present, this has never stopped.
If they let go, they will be controlled by the capitalists, or even cannibalized.
Elena's face was instantly bad, she didn't expect to be rejected so quickly, and Zhao Min didn't even think about it.
"Mr. Zhao, our shareholding will help Haixing Company grow. With the resources of Pfizer, Haixing's products can be sold to the markets of various countries at the fastest speed. Elena said confidently.
Pfizer is the largest pharmaceutical company, and she still has enough confidence in the pharmaceutical industry.
"I believe Pfizer has the ability." Zhao Min said.
"In that case, wouldn't it be better for us to take a stake in Starfish? You can make more money and get a bigger market. Elena's face was relieved.
"Huh." Zhao Min smiled lightly: "It's really tempting, but we have no plans to transfer shares for the time being, and we can expand the market by ourselves." ”
"Ms. Zhao, isn't this okay? It also takes time to expand the market on your own. Isn't it good to get the maximum benefit in the shortest time? Elena looked at Zhao Min, she wanted to see Zhao Min's reaction, as long as Zhao Min had any heartbeat, she could take advantage of the victory and chase after her.
It's a pity that she was disappointed, Zhao Min didn't have any mood fluctuations from beginning to end, and she still looked flat.
The vision that Elena said was good, but only if it was a stake in the company. Roche spent so much effort to get such a joint venture opportunity, and Pfizer wanted to intervene when their peaches were ripe.
This is simply a risk-free transaction, and the abacus is better than anyone else.
Seeing that Zhao Min didn't speak, Elena frowned slightly, and continued: "Mr. Zhao, you have a saying in Huaxia that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Starfish has our Pfizer, a big tree in the pharmaceutical industry, and can develop at the fastest speed, so why not? ”
Elena is very confident, Pfizer's conditions can be said to be perfect, as long as it is a smart company, it will not refuse.
"But under the big tree, the little tree never grows, and when the wind blows, it falls." Zhao Min smiled lightly.
"Huh?"
When Elena heard her assistant's translation, her mood sank. Sure enough, as rumored, the people of the marching ant company did not enter the oil and salt.
"What does Ms. Zhao mean that she doesn't want to carry out this share sale?"
"The company has just been established, and many things have not been settled, and we have no idea of transferring shares for the time being." Zhao Min said calmly.
"Ms. Zhao doesn't listen to our price, and then refuse?"
"Miss Elena, do you think our company is short of money?" Zhao Min asked.
This question directly stumped Elena, the marching ant company can be said to be one of the companies with the most cash now, so it is impossible for the marching ant company to lack money.
But they were still very interested in Starfish.
When Pfizer's Viagra went public, it was unprecedented success, and it was Viagra's commercial success that allowed them to swallow Lambert and other companies to become the largest pharmaceutical company in the United States, and Pfizer rose as a result.
After years of mergers and acquisitions, Pfizer has established itself as a pharmaceutical giant.
Now they see the potential of the Starfish Company, Haizhiwei may threaten the position of Viagra in the future, and Haizhiyu is another drug with huge potential, and the income will not be too low.
You must know that these two drugs have very good profits and markets, and have great potential in the future.
"Ms. Zhao, you can cooperate with Roche, they are laymen in the pharmaceutical industry, why can't you cooperate with us Pfizer? It seems that the benefits of cooperating with us are a little bigger, right? Wu Xiaobin spoke.
In the exchange just now, he didn't mean to speak, and now the scene is a little stiff, and he should also warm up. can sit in the position of president of Pfizer Greater China, he naturally cannot be an ordinary person, and his ability must be there.
"We at the marching ant company never refuse to cooperate." Zhao Min said: "But when we want to open up and cooperate, it seems that there is only one Roche. ”
"Aren't there more options now?" Wu Xiaobin said with a smile.
Zhao Min was noncommittal: "But that time has passed." ”
Hearing this, Wu Xiaobin didn't say anything, and Elena next to her didn't look good after hearing the translation. There is no doubt that they came to seek cooperation this time and were refused.
"Ms. Zhao, we are very sincere, I hope you can consider it carefully." Elena said.
"Yes, next time we have the opportunity, Pfizer must be our first partner."
Hearing Zhao Min's words, the people on the field already knew that it was impossible to let the marching ant company sell the shares of the starfish company.
After Elena and Wu Xiaobin exchanged a few polite words, they had no intention of staying. Seeing off the two, Zhao Mincai and Xiaoyu returned to the office.
"Do you know why I refused to work with them?" Zhao Min watched Wu Xiaobin and Elena's car leave the marching ant company through the floor-to-ceiling window.
"I don't know." Xiao Yu shook his head.
"The top 10 shareholders of Pfizer are BlackRock Group and Pioneer Group. There are also several consortia such as Morgan and Geode Capital, which are all consortia that block our company's external expansion, and they are our enemies. Zhao Min said.
"The consortium behind them wants to suppress us? Why? ”
"Do you know why it is said that the Western world is capital-controlled markets? If you take a closer look at their profiles, you will find that those consortia are at the same time the majority shareholders of tech giants such as Microsoft, Apple, and Umbrella Inc.
Those conglomerates, along with other Wall Street predators, conglomerates and banking groups, are capable of influencing the entire U.S. capital market. They blocked us because they wanted to put pressure on us to open up our equity to them, so as to achieve the goal of controlling our company.
It's just that we are in China, and the official will not let those capitals mess around in our country's market, and their hands can't reach in, so they can only block it overseas. ”
Xiao Yu nodded heavily, she didn't know that there was such a big knowledge here.
Zhao Min looked at the vehicle leaving the marching ant headquarters through the floor-to-ceiling window: "Although it is said that there are no eternal enemies in the mall, only eternal interests. But I haven't been generous enough to use the interests of our company to please them and defuse their hostility towards us, and besides, they just want to pick peaches. ”
