Chapter 052: The Origin of a Medical Company
Cheap labor?
For this statement, Ludon scoffed,
"What a big truth!"
Putting away his smiling expression, Lu Deng said,
"You're not cheap, I'll give you shares!"
"Shares?"
Gatlin didn't expect Mr. Ludon to be so generous, and subconsciously let go of Gatlin in his hand.
"Don't let this guy fool."
Hannibal sneered,
"What's the use of giving shares, as long as the control of the company is in the hands of this person, the shares don't mean anything."
The lord chimed in,
"He won't pay any dividends, and the money he earns will be put into reproduction, like a snowball, never stopping."
Albert corrected the crowd rigorously,
"Theoretically, if you invest in it, you can make a profit, and the best option is to continue to invest, even if the marginal benefit is diminishing..."
Therefore, everyone will face a very embarrassing situation.
Lutten ostensibly distributed the shares to the people, but the actual control was in Lutden's hands.
According to Luddon's style of doing things, once the snowball starts, it will never stop.
When he was short on the Fortune Exchange before, Lu Deng almost pawned his pants to leverage.
Now if you change to a pharmaceutical company, it will be the same fate.
Luden injected hundreds of thousands of pounds and invited people to take up positions in pharmaceutical companies and share shares.
It looks good, but in fact, Ludon only paid his normal salary, and the dividends were not a penny.
As for the value of the shares...
If Ludon succeeds and the pharmaceutical company becomes bigger and stronger, the shares still have some value, and after Luden's death, everyone can sell the shares and cash out.
If Ludon fails, let's drink the Northwest Wind together!
No matter from which point of view, joining a pharmaceutical company is a safe and unprofitable business, serving as cheap labor for Luden.
In the end, under the protests of the crowd, Luton had to revise the original deed of sale to make it more humane.
There are a few main changes:
"The company's debt ratio cannot exceed 300%"
"15% net profit dividend every year"
"In any war and conflict, the company must be neutral...", etc.
After Luton made a big concession, everyone looked at the deed of sale again and again before signing their names one by one.
According to the agreement, Luden injected 500,000 pounds as start-up capital, and he only holds 20% of the shares, but has 95% of the voting rights.
At the same time, Luden's shares, after his death, were transferred to the next director of the Oliver Orphanage in accordance with his will.
The successor of Ludeng's shares owns only 20% of the company's voting rights.
The Lord, Albert, and Hannibal each took 15 percent of the shares, Gatlin 10 percent, and Todd politely took 5 percent.
A further 20 per cent of the shares are held by the Secretary-General of a traffic management office.
Everyone's shares are not taken for nothing.
Gatling's shares need to be exchanged for his patents, and he himself has to sign a 30-year labor contract with the company, and if the labor contract is violated, he will have to sell the shares at the agreed price.
Albert, Hannibal, more like talent shares.
The former can provide ideas and data validation, while the latter is a well-established doctor, especially good at human experiments.
As for the lord...
Joining the company is like a game for the lord, and the resources he brings are enough to make this newly born pharmaceutical company gain a lot of convenience in the fog.
Todd is more of an executive and security department, and as a pharmaceutical company, they need strong enough security personnel to protect their property.
If you think about it deeply, the Buck family behind Todd has always maintained a friendly cooperative relationship with Luden.
The shares in Luden's hands are, in a sense, also the shares of Shenbang.
After all, Oliver is an orphanage for the Divine State, and his successor will definitely be the Divine Nation.
Although the proportion of Todd's shareholding is low, the nature is completely different.
This company is not a simple fog company or a small United Kingdom company, but a real international company.
Luden's ambitions will not stop at the fog capital.
And the mysterious secretary general was tacitly ignored by everyone.
Don't ask what you shouldn't.
After the division of shares was clear, Lu Deng couldn't wait to start the journey of sending blessings.
The first flagship product of this medical company is the Gatling machine gun!
This incident was originally extremely absurd, but considering that the other party was Mr. Luden, it was normal.
The lord reminded,
"To do this kind of business in the fog, we need the approval of the Congress!"
Even if the lord's father comes forward and wants to get this document, it will take a lot of effort, and it is even likely to hit a wall.
Ludon hadn't thought about it at all.
To the surprise of the lord, a polite secretary came to his door and brought the latest evening newspaper with a document approving the fledgling pharmaceutical company to produce Gatling guns for the protection of his property.
Lord: ......
The moment he saw the document, the lord became serious.
He realized that the company might not be as simple as he thought.
To be precise, anything that is involved with Mr. Ludon is not that simple.
Along with the approval documents came orders.
In this business, Ludon directly put Todd and Gatling in charge, and he didn't participate too much.
On the one hand, this kind of business is a sure thing.
I haven't heard of anyone who can turn this thing upside down, and they can still lose money.
On the other hand, Luden is a pharmaceutical company after all.
Ludeng, who did not forget his original intention, decided to put more energy into medicine, benefit mankind, and send blessings to more people.
"The first drug we want to develop is to treat malaria!"
Listening to Luden's goal, Hannibal asked,
"With all due respect, Mr. Luden, malaria is very difficult to ravage in the fog, and it is more likely to appear in miasma places.
Although we already know that this disease is transmitted by mosquitoes, as you can see, there are not many mosquitoes in Wudu."
Not only in the fog capital, but also in the whole territory of the small United Kingdom, malaria is not on the list.
It was for this reason that Dr. Hans's research was buried in the first place.
"There's really no malaria here."
Ludon turned his head and looked south,
"South, hotter places, there's malaria there!"
He was well aware that as the seafaring industry flourished, all the powers would do everything in their power to expand their territory.
Some countries will swallow up all the land in their vicinity.
Island nations such as the small United Kingdom, on the other hand, have a weaker grip on the land and prefer to let the locals manage themselves, while they are only responsible for harvesting resources and dumping goods.
That's when the significance of treating malaria comes into play!
What's more, during the voyage expedition, an embarrassing situation was encountered: there were pirates at sea and malaria on the shore.
In summary, Ludon listed the treatment of malaria as the first drug to be developed.
"In that case..."
Albert came up with an idea,
"How's it going to kill mosquitoes on a mass scale?"
Ludon nodded slightly,
"Yes, but don't think about it, focus on treatment, not on preventing malaria."
This time, everyone didn't understand,
"Why?"
If malaria can be stopped at the source, there is no need for follow-up treatment.
For everyone's puzzlement, Ludon silently rolled his eyes,
"Medicines can only be made when they are sold, and only patients will buy medicines."
All:......
After a moment of silence, Albert's first words spoke,
"I'm thinking about whether I should give my shares back."
Perhaps joining this pharmaceutical company was a mistake from the start.
"Trust me, you won't regret it."
Ludon smiled lightly and said slowly,
"We have to make money before we can develop more and more useful drugs and save more people."
Albert frowned, "500,000 pounds is a lot, Mr. Luden."
"There are more people alive."
Ludon sneered,
"500,000 pounds, for 500,000 people, 5 million people, how much will they get in their hands? What happens after the split?
Sooner or later, money will run out, medicine will run out sooner or later, society will operate, medicine will develop, and these are inseparable from money!
The market is here, and the money is nothing more than whether we will make it or someone else will make it.
Let others make this money, they will only waste the money on eating, drinking and having fun, but we are different, in order to send good fortune, we will continue to develop new drugs."
Albert asked rhetorically, "And make more money with the new medicine."
Luton admits calmly, "That's right."
"Excuse me, gentlemen."
Hannibal, who was born as a doctor, intervened in the conversation between the two and said seriously,
"I understand you, Mr. Albert, but let me point out that even if you recruit the most advanced men and spend all £500,000 on malaria, you may not succeed in eradicating malaria.
Let's put ethics aside, and in terms of feasibility, Mr. Luden's approach is the only feasible solution at the moment."
Hearing this, Albert's face softened a little,
"I really don't know that much about medical things."
He's a doctor, not a doctor.
At least not yet.
"Second, Mr. Luden."
Hannibal said helplessly,
"Wouldn't it be a greater blessing if you had the opportunity to eradicate malaria?"
"If I could, I would like to eradicate all diseases."
Luton himself is a patient.
In the whole room, he was in the worst health...
Ludon said frankly,
"We're just talking about a very real topic, as a pharmaceutical company, you have to make more money if you want to contribute more than you want to make more money.
We have to survive the cutthroat competition before we are qualified to talk about what lies next."
Albert was smart, he could understand Luden's words, and even agreed with some of the other party's points.
It's just that... Emotionally, it was a little difficult to accept for a while.
The room grew dull, and he unbuttoned his collar to get some fresh air, only to find it futile in his attempt.
Finally, Albert, whose face was slightly pale, looked at Ludon and said seriously,
"If we go on like this, we will become demons, sooner or later."
Albert was well aware that at this time they had ideals and wanted to contribute more.
And the path chosen by Mr. Ludon is like pedaling a bicycle on a rope, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss, and you will never recover.
Even if Albert they withstood the temptation, what about posterity?
Sooner or later, this pharmaceutical company will become a disaster for the world.
"Until then, we'll die, and even if we do become demons, we'll meet again in hell,"
Ludon raised the coffee cup in his hand slightly and saluted,
"I've got an old friend waiting for me over there for a long time."
