To say a few more here, the full name of Billington stock is Billington Research Center, which is a pharmaceutical research institute without any industry. The assassinated CEO, Britt Lowry, was the company's founder and CEO, as well as the core of R&D — which is why his assassination caused Bilkington's stock to plummet.

After Laurie made a breakthrough in the laboratory research of Priapo (that is, the little green pill), he cooperated with Tomita Pharmaceutical Group, and a new subsidiary, Billington Pharmaceuticals, was jointly funded by Tomita Pharmaceutical Group. Beckington Pharmaceuticals then injected R&D funds into the Billington Research Institute, holding 30% of the shares and sharing patents, while Laurie also held 7.4% of Billington Pharmaceuticals' shares.

Later, the Billington Research Center was financed and listed, with Beta Pharmaceuticals as a reference, based on the beautiful imagination of the new aphrodisiac green pill and the recognition of Dr. Laurie's personal ability, the shares of the Billington Research Center continued to soar as soon as it was listed. Coupled with the fact that Dr. Laurie regularly announces exciting news, Billington's stock was issued for less than $20 and soared all the way to $480, creating a large number of billionaires.

But with the news of Britt Lowry's assassination, the stock price plummeted, and it now looks like there's no end in sight. If there is news that the little green pill has not been developed at all, then Bilkington's stock is likely to fall into a piece of waste paper.

It was in this situation that Shen Yan and Lester "took a great risk" and used high leverage to complete the snake swallowing elephant move. 6.1% of the shares is a lot, and the founders of many listed companies do not necessarily have so many shares in their hands, and the distribution of shares in industries such as pharmaceuticals is often more dispersed. If it were before the crash, these shares could represent more than $3 billion in wealth.

But after bankrupting and speculating into shareholders, there are only two roads left in front of them - either wait for the stock to fall into waste paper and more than 40 million assets will be wiped out. Bankruptcy is not enough, but the stock will be delisted; Either show your ability and convince other shareholders as a shareholder that the Billington shell can be revitalized. Only when the stock is revitalized will the 6.1% of the shares become hundreds of millions or even billions of money......

Don't expect to sit back and wait for the major shareholders to bail out the market, capitalists are not philanthropists. With Priapo's incomplete recipe in hand, the best thing to do is to wait for the stock to fall into junk, then privatize and delist, and then inject the formula into new companies to re-speculate...... An unrelated small shareholder like Shen Yan is a leek that has been harvested. Of course, this is only if Billington has no real value...... If Priapo is already on the market and the patent is in the hands of the laboratory, then this method is not operational.

(As for hostile takeovers, ah~ Don't say check the information yourself, this is not a business war).

There is no doubt that the effect of hair growth pills is immediate.

What follows, of course, is the usual moment of ingenuity. However, Leicester is elusive, and Shen Yan's residence is not difficult to find for a pharmaceutical tycoon. However, after they targeted Shen Yan, they found out that ...... The master of the bow and arrow is really a master of the bow and arrow. In short, after a series of temptations, thefts, threats, and analysis, Bilkington's people finally determined that this formula was the cheapest choice to get paid for.

A few days later, the negotiators from Bilkington Pharmaceuticals showed up as promised.

Since the normal business process is followed, both parties have tacitly chosen to do things in the past. Shen Yan hired a professional negotiation company without hesitation and let them negotiate. After some verbal debate, Shen Yan exchanged the "hair growth formula" for a 3.4% stake in Billington Pharmaceutical, a 0.7% stake in Futian Pharmaceutical, an independent laboratory of the Billington Research Center and two seats on independent directors.

The other party promised that if he could make improvements to Priapo's formula, he would also receive a new equity incentive.

……

"That's it?" Leicester was holding a bunch of equity documents worth hundreds of millions in his hand, and he still felt like he was in a dream - although the Beckington R&D Center was a listed company, it had a single product and poor impact resistance. Therefore, Shen Yan asked for a bunch of shares of its parent company, also in order to be tied to the real giant Futian Pharmaceutical. He wouldn't be there forever after all, and when he left, Lester and Scarlett and the others would have a much better life.

"Of course that's it, there's nothing to doubt about it. When other means don't work, they are more legitimate than anyone else. Shen Yan put the shares of the two companies in two separate bags and prepared to deposit them in the bank safe, leaving the keys for Leicester to keep. The names written on these two agreements are Sister Widow and Laura, and Sister Widow can toss casually with this identity, and Laura doesn't have to worry about the funds for the expedition. Of course, the premise is that Laura is not allowed to spoil the monuments of China!

As the new formula is injected, Billington's stock will stabilize as well. That is to say, what Shen Yan and Lester are holding in their hands is no longer waste paper, but can go to the bank at any time to mortgage hundreds of millions of equity.

“…… Leicester, you might as well think now about how you can buy a big villa and fill half the room with formal furnishings. Make a break with those dangerous friends in the past, and start to be a serious rich man from today, drag racing, gambling money, and playing female stars...... Maybe in the evening you will receive an invitation from the mayor to his house. By the way, remember to make the whole face first. Looking at Lester's unyielding appearance, Shen Yan teased casually, but Lester nodded again and again as if he had no idea.

"I'm kidding." Shen Yan was speechless.

"I know, but my mind is blank right now, at least your idea sounds good." Lester replied dryly.

"Whatever you want......" At this time, Shen Yan's phone rang, and he picked it up casually. Hey, I'm Shen Yan. ”

"I'm Mike! Is it safe over there? Shen Yan looked at the number, a string of garbled characters, Lao Mai finally knew how to use a confidential phone. Safe, only Lester is there, say I'm listening. Shen Yan walked over and closed the door.

"Fack...... We were calculated by the FIB. Old Mai's voice sounded desolate.

However, Shen Yan just wanted to laugh when he heard it...... No, it's not meant to be sarcastic, it's just a simple desire to laugh.

*****

FIB went to Lao Mai and them again.

This time, FIB shamelessly used their last assault on CAI as a lever and threatened them to rob CAI's cash trucks - CAI was involved in the drug trade in the Middle East and had accumulated a lot of money - FIB looked red (in fact, it was the Hines group) and wanted to eat black. But they couldn't do it themselves, and they didn't even want to touch it, so they threatened Lao Mai to help them rob the cash truck, which was carrying a huge amount of money.

FIB drops the threat and flashes people...... However, the cash truck was already on the road, and once it arrived at the airport, the money was on the plane and the mission failed. Lao Mai and the others only have a few hours in total, but everything is unknown about the security of the cash truck, whether there is an alarm in the car, and so on!

This made Mike feel both angry and embarrassed.

But Lao Mai is a master of crime, and under pressure, he almost instantly came up with a street robbery method called "classic raids" - cash trucks will pass through industrial areas, where traffic is complicated and vehicles can be used for layout. A garbage truck blocked the road to slow down the cash truck, and then used a high-powered trailer hidden in an alley to knock the truck over from the side. Then it's about blowing up the car door and driving away with the money before the police arrive.

Old Mai used this method to convince the not-so-sober Trevor, and the inexperienced rookie Franklin. But he knew very well in his heart how unreliable this plan was...... It is very simple to think that since CAI uses camouflaged cash trucks to transport money, there must be a way to ensure safety; And then there are the people hiding inside the cash trucks...... Before blowing up the car door, whether they call or press the alarm button, there is nothing that people outside can do......

That's why Lao Mai called Shen Yan and Lester for help - according to the rules, if Shen Yan and the two participated, they would take 30% of the full amount. But the reality is that even Lao Mai himself is busy in vain, and this time it is not a partnership to commit a crime, but a friend to help...... So Mike was very apprehensive.

Mike's mind was also very confused right now—he thought about getting out of the way and killing the bastards of Heins; I want to endure it again, just this once...... So he called Shen Yan, in fact, he also wanted to hear his advice.

*****

The reason why Shen Yan wanted to laugh was because he had figured out that some things in this world didn't have to be so serious - just like Laura wouldn't die in archaeology, Lao Mai and they would never die in robbery, the truth was so speechless.

When training with Laura, Shen Yan quietly did countless experiments with Laura. During his jump training, he custom-made practice traps at various heights and in various situations, some of which were fatal, some of which were not, and some of which just looked deadly or seemed safe...... However, all the truly fatal Laura jumped over without any problems, and the ones she failed were all traps with minor injuries...... There's really no reason for that.

The power of fate is very obvious in Laura's body.

Obviously, the same thing will happen to the three of them...... Shen Yan can easily kill these protagonists, but there is no way to reduce their probability of success to 0. Just like this robbery, in fact, the FIB didn't expect anything from them or the money, saying "I believe you will handle it...... That's all mockery.

probably felt that Lao Mai and a few people were chicken ribs, and it was a pity to abandon them and eat tasteless, so they simply forced them to use it. It's like a sure-fire deal, and if it fails, it's CAI's pot, and it has nothing to do with FIB Mao; But if it succeeds, then they can get a lot of "very clean" money! In that case, why not?

As for the sniper threat last time, a rubber bullet won't make them retreat.

["He's on the phone, it's an encrypted line."] "Get closer, listen with the audio receiver, I have to know what they're talking about." The Hines team is monitoring Mike's every move. 】

"A helicopter is coming towards me, and I think there's something wrong." Mike said over the phone.

"Hmm...... In this way, I will make a long story short. Shen Yan quickened his voice and said, "You still follow your original plan, Leicester will help you hack into the cameras on the side of the road and monitor the situation of the cash truck in advance." But the most important thing is, remember, Mike! Once you've grabbed the money, leave Los Angeles immediately! Find a remote beachfront and contact me! Did you hear that? ”

"OK, I see. What you mean is that if you grab the money, you don't give it to the FIB first, but go to the beach somewhere. ”

"That's it, I'll figure out the rest." Shen Yan said.

"Roger." Mike puts down his phone.

"Fake, he hung up, he seemed to have spotted us. ”】

Mike looked out the window, and the helicopter flew past the roof of the car, disappearing into the distance without looking back. But as he passed through a busy intersection, a car crept behind him.

*****

Stealing garbage trucks, towing cranes, stealing vehicles for retreat...... Mike directs the trio through the methodical preparations for the "classic raid", while Lester returns to his "lair", hacking into the traffic surveillance network and locating the location of the cash carrier. Information was pouring in on Mike, and the seven or eight mobile phones he had prepared in advance and thrown in the car finally came in handy at this moment.

The call time is no more than ten seconds at a time, so that the FIB is at a loss even if he wants to listen. A lot of the time this side has just locked the signal, and that side has already hung up.

The monitoring gradually became a gap between the two sides.

"The first person, Steve Hines, is driving towards the FIB building." Lester taped Hines's picture to a monitor that locked onto a moving car. "This is the second, Andrés Sánchez, who seems to have a conversation with his neighbors after driving home." The second shot comes from a monitor under the streetlight, clearly against Sanchez's house...... It seems that there is more than one who spies on him through the transportation network.

"It's time to work overtime, it's time to get off work, they're making alibi." Shen Yan, who was sitting behind Lester, commented. He couldn't find anyone, but Lester could. Los Angeles' traffic monitoring network is riddled with holes and hackers are able to move freely around the network. An agent like Hines whose semi-public identity is like Hines can only expose himself to the network, even if he is unhappy.

It's impossible to help the City of Los Angeles patch, it's impossible in this lifetime...... What to use for patched FIB.

"Dave, where are you hiding?" The screen flickered with contrasting images, and Lester muttered to himself. On another screen, a trailer slams into the side of the cash truck. The cash box truck first fell on its side and then moved out towards the side of the road, knocking down a large part of the factory wall...... Lao Mai: Their robbery operation is underway.

"Live? Gee. Shen Yan leaned over and saw that after Mike blew up the carriage, Trevor, who was wearing a mask, pulled the trigger without hesitation and killed the two CAI in the car.

"Found it!" Lester suddenly shouted.

Shen Yan turned his head sideways and saw the third screen frozen in one frame - Dave poked his head out of a helicopter, revealing half of his face to be captured by the camera...... The comparison was successful.

PS: Fortunately, the restriction will pass soon...... This thing is really demoralizing.
