Chapter 111: The Pharmaceutical Giants of the Future

Set the submarine to autopilot, Shen Yan closed his eyes and meditated, seizing the time to comprehend the transformed divine power knowledge. It wasn't until the submarine approached the south coast of Los Angeles that he got a rough idea of the general condition of the nuclear bomb, which turned out to be an experimental nuclear bomb specifically designed to create a tsunami......
No wonder it's strategic, no wonder it has to be entrusted to the Merrywether company, and the military is hiding far away, because if the people of the United States knew that a nuclear bomb dedicated to making a tsunami was actually dropped in the Pacific Ocean east of Los Angeles, they would have to go crazy immediately. Half of the company was hired for salvage, and the other half was also for carrying the black pot if necessary. Obviously, Meriweather Company is also very clear about its mission, why should you let you take a big order if you don't carry a black pot!
As for the original test site of this nuclear bomb, it is no longer known.
Many people will find tsunami weapons useless, and this is an extra move. Because if the explosive yield can set off a tsunami and flood more than a dozen cities, then it can easily wipe out a dozen cities directly by throwing it directly over the city. Of course, this experimental nuclear bomb did not have that high yield.
However, there is a misconception that the purpose of war is to win, not to destroy the world. First of all, the problem of pollution, the ocean's ability to digest nuclear pollution far exceeds that of land, a large-yield nuclear bomb explodes on the seabed, and the pollution caused by the ocean is controllable; Second, cities in developed areas of all countries are by the sea, and the impact of the tsunami is continuous and repeated. The most important point is that tsunamis kill people more than industry......
A tsunami, which can effectively delay the industry of the entire developed region for three to six months, will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the economy of the entire country. But the tsunami does not cause stubborn pollution and does not destroy the industrial base. If the area is landed and occupied on a large scale at this time, and the people are confused by disaster relief, then it will be restored to its heyday within a year or two...... One can imagine how terrible this tactic of "tsunami landing, establishing a forward base, and advancing inland" is.
It may not be so troublesome to deal with small countries, but if the target is a large country with a certain strategic depth, there are actually only two......
"Made, that's why the heart of the American imperialist is not dead!"
After thinking about it, Shen Yan couldn't go back in time and directly detonated the nuclear bomb! But even then, it doesn't make those bastards feel better! Shen Yan took out his mobile phone and flipped out the hundreds of photos of the nuclear bomb stored on it, in addition to the exterior scenes from various angles and the group photos with the ocean GPS positioning, the internal structure also left enough photos! With this evidence, it is easy for anyone who understands to see what this nuclear bomb was designed for.
Hehe~ Don't you guys want to be exposed? I'm here to help you make that decision!
Ever since he knew that Fib could gain the power of fate to disturb it, his heart that wanted to make things couldn't stop at all.

"Lester, how's our business going?" If you want to make trouble, of course, go to Leicester first.
"As you asked, the money was all spent, and the two of us are now the largest individual shareholders in Beckington...... My only hope now is God willing, everything you say is true. 'Leicester is really nervous at the moment and he's an insecure guy in the first place.
"Trust me, that's right." The advertising slogan really comes with my mouth open, I'm so talented.
Let's talk a little further about this matter, in addition to being a crime planner in Los Angeles, Lester's other identity is a well-known assassination broker on the dark web. He became famous because he had to be given a plausible reason for assassination. For example, what is there about this person who is anti-human, Lolicon should be damned, etc...... Leicester will check before deciding whether or not to take the job and whether the price is right.
Whether it is hypocrisy or fame, Lester's persistence has indeed allowed him to gain some good fame on the dark web. In the wake of the jewelry robbery, Lester gets a deal on the dark web to assassinate Britt Lowry, the CEO of the Billington Research Center.
We are not familiar with what Billington is, so here are a few more words: Beta Pharmaceuticals and Billington Pharmaceuticals are two major pharmaceutical giants, and they are both listed companies. However, Beta Pharmaceuticals invented the aphrodisiac Morris (that is, the little blue pill) and crushed Beckington hard! Billington was unwilling to fail, and also devoted himself to researching a better aphrodisiac green pill! Five blue grains on top!
Wow, as soon as the news was announced, Billington's stock rose to the sky, and Beta Pharmaceutical's stock just fell wildly.
At this time, Beta Pharmaceutical is anxious, desperately trying to prevent the green pill from going on the market, in fact, there are problems with both aphrodisiacs, and the blue pill can induce heart disease, which everyone in the world knows, but the risk is limited, and it should be no problem to follow the doctor's instructions; While the green pill has a better effect, it is also more harmful to the heart, and it has a high probability of causing heart failure! And before the listing, the news had been covered up by Billington, and the news was not reported at all.
Freedom of the press has always been a false proposition, and it doesn't take a lot of power to cover up certain information, as long as there are channels.
For example, with the development of the "metoo" sport, we learned that the foreign women's gymnastics team was simply the first rice team; I also know that almost all rapes and sexual harassments that occur in colleges and universities are covered up by universities, and less than 10% of them are reported in the newspapers; also knows that Harvey Weinstein, a famous SM expert in Hollywood, has a glorious 30-year history of sexual assault, and the media is as blind as a blind man...... That's how free the press is. But as long as there is something on Huaxia's side, the foreign media will be like a collective ** that has been exploded like a chrysanthemum...... It's too lazy to say.
Not only that, Billington Pharmaceutical also obtained marketing authorization by bribing the Food and Drug Administration!
Therefore, a company was furious and hung an assassination on the dark web against Britt Lowry, the CEO of the Beckington Research Center. The amount of the assassination was not high, only $100,000. Of the five brokers who received the news, four directly chose to quit, and it was not worth it to participate in the rich man's game for this little money......
But Lester took it straight away. Because he is not only a broker, but also a speculator in the stock market who makes his fortune on insider information, this news is just right for him.
Bought Beta Pharmaceutical, which was still in the descending channel, and borrowed shares to sell Billington short; After the assassination was completed, Billington plummeted, and rival Beta Pharmaceuticals skyrocketed. Buy Billington shares and return them, and wait for Beta Pharmaceuticals to sell after the price goes up; Changing hands and continuing to buy Billington stock...... Since the new drug already exists, then the capitalists will definitely make a lot of money to put it on the market, and Beta Pharmaceuticals can't really stop it...... So in the long run, Billington will definitely rise back, and even higher.
Although the United States also has a securities regulatory commission to monitor internal trading, they rely on a whistleblowing reward system, but the effect is hehe. Every big institution on Wall Street is a god of stocks, and all kinds of magical operations are all up to mathematicians......
With such an operation inside and out, although the amount of assassination is only 100,000, Lester and Shen Yan's assets can at least double! Therefore, in order to control the exact timing, this assassination of Lester did not contact those veteran assassins, but found Franklin, and offered the assassination reward as high as ...... $9,000! You read that right! Not 90 million, not 9.000, but 9000 dollars!
It's black, it's really black.
Maybe Lester was embarrassed too, and he also pointed out Franklin's stock speculation method, and by the way, he lent Franklin a villa in Beverly Hills to live temporarily.
Franklin went to ...... Of course, the sniper rifle or something must be provided by Leicester, rather than buying one at a gun shop like in the game. The guns sold in the gun shop are registered, and fools use these guns to commit crimes. Anyway, one-third of the guns in the United States are on the black market, and they will never be able to buy them.
However, at the moment of the assassination, Shen Yan called Lester to inform him that he had changed his mind and that he wanted to actually control a pharmaceutical company......
*****
Lester's tangled, the newly grown hair fell out in batches...... Especially the middle part!
But he couldn't help it, Shen Yan said that he could solve the problem of the negative effect of the little green pill...... Leicester knows exactly what this means! This means that if he seizes this opportunity, he will no longer be a fat rat hiding in the dark, no longer a rich man who can't see the light, he and Shen Yan will become a pharmaceutical giant! One of those people who are calling for wind and rain in this country.
Should I believe it?
When he woke up the next day, looking at the hair that had fallen out badly, Lester habitually picked up a bottle of potion and poured it on the Mediterranean hairstyle. When you see your hair in the mirror taking root and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye...... Lester suddenly came to his senses!
Damn, of course I should believe it! It's harder to make a greasy middle-aged man grow thick hair than to make him hard for hours! Shen Yan can even do this, what else can't he do? It must be hard to make whoever is hard!
So Lester was torn, terrified, and anxious...... Cashed out all his and Shen Yan's stocks, and then smashed them down at Billington without a penny! When Billington Pharmaceutical plummeted, it chose to buy in full position!
Shen Yan previously speculated on stocks by being an Internet celebrity, filming reality shows, and insider information, plus the millions that Scarlett "lent" to him and never wanted to get back, with a total of about 23 million in property; Leicester has more than him, but because the investment is too scattered, only about 20 million has been gathered in the short term. In the process of buying, Leicester gave up a few more, and in the end, Shen Yan got 3.4% of Beckington's shares, and Leicester got 2.7%.
Although it has not reached the 5% threshold that needs to be publicized, the shares of Beckington Pharmaceutical are very scattered and mainly in the hands of a few fund institutions. In one fell swoop, the two became the top two individual shareholders of Beckington Pharmaceutical.
The assassinated Britt Laurie was only the head of Beckington's R&D department, and the real chairman and CEO were someone else. The assassination only disrupted the green pill's listing plan, and did not have much impact on the operation of the entire Billington.
Therefore, when Shen Yan called Leicester, he told Shen Yan very entangledly, "I just informed Billington Pharmaceutical by email that the shares held by the two of us together have reached 6.1% of the total share capital, and we need to talk to them about ......."

"That's what you want to see me?" An elderly man in his sixties met Shen Yan and Lester in the living room on the first floor of Pilkington Building. "Say, give you five minutes. I know what you have in your hands, but that won't help you...... You know Beckington is in a terrible situation right now, don't ask too much. ”
His face was expressionless...... He even said with a slight disgust.
Originally, he thought that this invitation was a temptation from an opponent, but when he saw Shen Yan's face, he understood...... It's those Hollywood stars who like to buy things blindly! Those idiots were manipulated like marionettes by their agents, and probably this time...... Bought something that shouldn't have been bought. Do you want to unbundle stocks? Did he think I had a way to help him when he came to me?
Now the major shareholders are also anxious, if it weren't for the small shareholders not to smash the market, even he would not come forward.
"I have a way to save Billington's stock." Shen Yan put his foot on the table and said leisurely.
"Wait, what did you say?" The old man made a mocking look. It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's that he doesn't believe it at all! The key is this sentence, more than ten people have said it to him today, but none of them are reliable, it is simply a group of demons dancing! So when he heard this, he didn't even want to talk about it. "Fack, I feel like I'm wasting my time." He reached for the button on the table, "Security ......"
However, there was no response.
Shen Yan, whose legs were on the table, was mostly blocked by the table. Only then did he raise his hand with a smile and lift up a torn thread......
"Falk ......"
"Shhhhh "Billington's main clients are middle-aged men. What do middle-aged men care about most about themselves? I think there are only three things to live with: hair, weight and surname. "Three fingers up." I won't mention it in terms of surname life, and the current outbreak of the pharmaceutical war stems from this. I'm thinking about the other two, is it possible for us to do a little bit to save the stock price?
So, my question is, old man, are you happy with your hair? The old man didn't introduce his identity from beginning to end, so Shen Yan didn't bother to be polite.
Shen Yan pressed a finger against the bottle and gently pushed it, and the blue bottle slid along the table to the front of the old man. Shen Yan got up and beckoned Lester to leave. "Let me introduce you again, Shen Yan, a legendary potion master in Hollywood. With this shampoo, you will be pleasantly surprised...... Maybe it's a fright, who knows? In short, if you are interested, you know how to contact us. If not interested...... We will sell the shares to Beta Pharmaceuticals. ”
The old man was speechless, do you want me to be interested, or are you interested? Wait a minute...... You mean Beta Pharma contacted you? They want to launch a hostile takeover of our company?
Shen Yan took Lester away......
"Beta Pharmaceuticals is buying Billington?"
"How do I know?"
