Chapter 119: High Bids

With the flattery of Eli Lilly China's president, Andr, the conversation went amicably, at least temporarily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info said good things and didn't need money, how could Ander, who was able to be the president of an important branch, not understand this.

Zhang Jie felt good at first, but the big-nosed foreigner talked for several minutes, and he didn't mention the point.

He was a little impatient, it was better to go to the laboratory or cultivate magic energy with this kung fu, so he said directly: "Okay, everyone's time is precious, tell me about your intentions." ”

The expression on Ender's face froze, as if he was a little embarrassed, but he was happy in his heart. I feel that I have found a weakness in Zhang Jie's character, that is, a typical science and engineering technology type.

"I'm sorry, I almost forgot that Mr. Zhang still has a very important experiment to do."

Ander apologized, then looked directly into Zhang's eyes sincerely and said, "We at Eli Lilly are very concerned about the harm caused by lung cancer to human beings, and we have also spent a lot of effort to develop many anti-lung cancer drugs, and we have rich experience in drug production.

Our two companies can work together to bring lung cancer, the number one culprit of human cancer, to the benefit of society as a whole. ”

Zhang Ju asked, "What kind of cooperation method?" ”

"Zhang, you graduated from medical school and know that an active chemical has an effect on disease, and it takes countless tests and hundreds of millions of dollars to actually become a drug.

Even though Eli Lilly has invested tens of billions of dollars in lung cancer, we are willing to pay a billion dollars for the active chemical that kills lung cancer. Then conduct rigorous clinical trials to bring it to the market and relieve the pain of lung cancer patients. ”

Ander's expression was solemn, as if he was doing something great.

Chen Xi puffed out his cheeks and said angrily: "A billion dollars, are you kidding?" It's an insult to a lung cancer killer, I've seen reports on its lethality to lung cancer cells, it's just nuclear bomb level. With such an epoch-making drug, you only gave a billion? ”

Zhang Jie shook his head, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that there is no need to continue talking." Such a price is much lower than we expected. ”

"Wait, what's your bid?" Ender's face was still calm, and he asked casually as if he didn't care too much.

As a senior executive, he knows that in recent years Eli Lilly has invested significant resources in lung cancer, the disease with the highest incidence of cancer in mankind.

Seeing that the fruit has already begun to bear, when it is time to harvest the fruit, it is found that the few drugs developed are like the gap between a trolley and a heavy truck compared to lung cancer killers.

The real resources have been spent, but the results obtained are worthless, and after this result was confirmed, several of Eli Lilly's senior management burst blood vessels on the spot and were admitted to the hospital.

It is precisely because the form is so grim that there is a surprise visit from Ender. In the past, as the president, he would never even have time to wait for the appointment time and visit directly.

Zhang Juan smiled, showed Bai Sensen's teeth, and said, "Five billion dollars in cash." ”

β€œwhatοΌŸβ€

Ander's eyes widened in disbelief. With 50 billion in cash, few companies on the planet can come up with so much except Apple.

Even Chen Xi's eyes widened with a look of surprise.

Ignoring the reactions of these people, Zhang continued: "Every year, there will be 14 million more cancer patients on the earth, including 1.8 million lung cancer patients, which is a super large potential market. Barely a patient can pay $100,000, and the total sales are as high as 180 billion.

And the killer of lung cancer is the nemesis of lung cancer, and a complete cure of this cancer can dominate the market, so $50 billion is completely reasonable. In addition to the one-time cash, I also have a 30% commission on global sales. ”

Except for developed countries such as the United States, Europe, and Japan, most lung cancer patients in developing countries cannot afford such a large sum of money.

Although Zhang Juan knew that such a calculation was problematic, it could greatly increase the legitimacy of his sky-high charge, at least on the surface, it seemed reasonable.

In fact, the establishment of a joint venture company can make money to a greater extent, but he is so troublesome that he simply collects protection money. It's a lot simpler, more crude, but it doesn't take much effort.

Bang, Ander stood up angrily and angrily said three repeated emphatic words in a row: "No, no, no!" It's completely impossible. ”

It seems impossible, Eli Lilly's market value is more than $80 billion, and $50 billion is more than half of the market value. And it's cash, even if you sell all the shares of the entire company, there is not so much cash, and a large-scale sell-off will cause the stock to crash.

A 30% commission on sales will probably account for eighty percent of the net profit, and if Eli Lilly agrees to this condition, then it is working for Zhang Jie, which is not much better than a slave.

Zhang Ju watched Ande burst into a rage, and said with a smile: "If Eli Lilly doesn't want to cooperate, just leave the room and walk out." I believe that pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer and Novartis will negotiate conditions with Magic Energy. ”

The anger on Ender's face immediately disappeared, as if it had never appeared, and said calmly: "Two billion dollars, 10% of the net profit commission." Moreover, such conditions require the headquarters to convene a board of directors, and I am only qualified to make proposals. ”

This foreigner's bargaining ability is also very powerful, not only cutting half of his waist, but directly cutting one-twentieth of his waist, and his skills are not much worse than those of aunts.

Sales and net profit are two different things, like the sky and the ground are so far away that they can't be compared.

A commodity may have annual sales of more than 10 billion, but the net profit is still a loss, there are too many doorways, and there are countless tricks. It's like the "three barrels of oil", relying on its monopoly position, but it is shouting losses every year, asking for billions of financial subsidies.

Zhang Ju looked at Ander, who was bidding, and was secretly proud in his heart: You can't run away, all of them will work as slaves for me.

He continued, "It's okay, we can talk about it first, and if it's too far from the standard deviation in my mind, we don't have to bother Eli Lilly to hold a board meeting." $45 billion, 30% of sales. ”

One-time cash income could be lower, but long-term turnover is more important, and he would not agree with Ander using net profit as a metric instead of sales. The initiative is in his hands, and that's a very important point.

The tug-of-war lasted for half an hour, and Ander always insisted on the condition of 10 billion US dollars and 10% sales commission, and refused to raise it again.

Zhang Ju shook his head and said, "Okay, there is no result if we continue to talk like this, so it is better to suspend the negotiations." Your conditions are a little far apart. I'll wait until I've talked to other pharmaceutical companies before making a decision. ”

When he was in Ceylon, Jean Quillin. Hilton travels around India visiting multinational pharmaceutical giants, and in addition to Eli Lilly and Company, there are certainly other companies that are responsible for lung cancer. So it's not urgent at all, you just need to wait for the price and sell.

Seeing that Zhang Ju walked to the door and was about to leave the room, an assistant said a few words to Ender, and the latter finally couldn't help it and said, "Zhang, give me a little time to call the US headquarters." ”

Zhang Juan waved his hand and said, "You have an afternoon to discuss, don't rush at this time, I'm going to the laboratory to do research." ”

Just after Zhang and Chen Xi left, a series of shouts and scolding sounded in the room, as well as the sound of angry palms slapping on the table.

"Fack, such conditions are too harsh for the board of directors to agree to at all." The calm look on Ender's face vanished, replaced by a very angry look.

"That's right, $30 billion can break down a country's financial defense."

……

Zhang Ju stood by the door, listened for a while, and said, "It seems that Eli Lilly still doesn't want to surrender, let's help it work harder." Call pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer and Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, and tell them about Eli Lilly's conditions. No company can say no to a lung cancer killer. ”

"Okay." Chen Xi nodded, and then hesitated a little, "Will any company agree to the condition of 30 billion US dollars and 25% sales commission?" ”

"Give it a try and you'll find out."
