After the people from the Chinese branch of the Estee Lauder Group introduced each other, Michael explained his intention and wanted to meet the boss and talk about the acquisition.

When Liu Shichang heard them say that he was from the Estee Lauder Group, he knew what the other party meant.

A few people came last time, but he refused, but he didn't expect the other party to send a global vice president now.

Sure enough, imperialism will not die!

Liu Shichang politely expressed his refusal.

But Michael was unimpressed and insisted on seeing the boss.

Liu Shichang said several times but did not dispel the other party's thoughts, and in desperation, he called Lu Yu in front of them.

The phone was connected, and Liu Shichang said, "Hey, Mr. Lu." ”

Lu Yu's voice was a little small, he was reading a book in the library, and now he went to the corridor to answer the phone:

"What's the matter, Lao Liu?"

Liu Shichang glanced at the foreigner and everyone opposite:

"That's right, Mr. Lu, the Estee Lauder Group, which came to the company last time to talk about the acquisition, they are here again, this time they are a global vice president of their headquarters, and now they are in the company."

Lu Yu was a little baffled: "Acquisition? Lao Liu, are you forgetful? Didn't I say it last time, don't ask me about this kind of acquisition in the future, the company can't sell it. ”

Liu Shichang: "I told them, and I said it more than once, others said that they wanted to meet the boss to talk, you better come over in person, I can't handle it." ”

Lu Yu was speechless and looked at the time: "Okay, I'll come over for about forty minutes, let them wait." ”

After hanging up the phone, Liu Shichang said to Michael:

"The boss is rushing here now, it will take about forty minutes, you guys wait."

The translator on the opposite side translated Liu Shichang's words to Michael, who nodded yes, and then drank quietly in his seat.

The corners of Liu Shichang's mouth twitched, and he said that he was still a little busy with his hands, so he was temporarily out of company, and went out of the conference room to his office.

……

After about forty minutes, Lu Yu took the subway to the company.

The young lady at the front desk stood up to greet him and called Mr. Lu.

Lu Yu also nodded, and walked towards Liu Shichang's office.

knocked on the door, Liu Shichang saw Lu Yu coming, so he accompanied him to the conference room.

When he arrived at the conference room, Liu Shichang introduced Michael and the person in charge of the Huaxia branch, and introduced Lu Yu to them.

The two sides shook hands before they sat down.

After Lu Yu sat down, leaned on the chair, sat in a big man's posture, looked at these people sitting opposite, and then spoke:

"I believe that Mr. Liu has made it very clear to you that I have no intention of selling the company for the time being."

Michael listened to the translator and thought about it, looked at the young man opposite, and intuitively felt that the other party was not a good talker:

"Starting a company is also about making money, and in fact, everything in this world has value."

"In my opinion, it is not sold just because the price is not in place."

After listening to Michael's words, Lu Yu smiled, felt that what he said still had some truth, and found it interesting, so he asked:

"Then I'd like to hear your offer, how much are you going to spend to buy my company?"

Michael looked at Lu Yu's eyes, and Lu Yu also looked at him indifferently.

After thinking about it for a while, Michael spoke:

"$12 billion."

As soon as Michael's offer came out, Lu Yu was stunned.

In fact, the market share and production capacity of the current pink, white and black companies, even if calculated according to the price-earnings ratio adopted by the valuation of Internet companies, this price is not low.

You must know that Internet companies generally have high valuations.

……

To be honest, the price is really high.

It was so high that Lu Yu was a little excited.

But it's just a small point.

Lu Yu leaned back in his chair and leaned back tactically.

Fingers gently and rhythmically tapped on the armrest of the chair, and looked at Michael and thought for a while before he said:

"I have to admit, President Michael, the price you gave me makes me a little moved, and our company is not worth the price at the moment."

Michael nodded and said: "Although your company is not worth the price now, but with the passage of time, with your company's products, the value of the company will definitely be far more than this price, because your products are good enough." ”

"We have a lot of faith in your company's future, but it will take time and care to get to that value."

"Sometimes, time and energy itself is also a big cost, and now what you are short of is time and energy."

"With your company's ability, it is still limited to a small part of the Chinese market, and it has not been able to open up a broad overseas market."

"So why can't you sell it to us, and we will be responsible for promoting the products you have developed to benefit more consumers."

"Let more people overseas enjoy the beauty of these two products, and you have saved a lot of time and gained enough money, why not? I can't think of a reason to refuse. ”

……

Lu Yu listened to Michael with a smile and applauded:

"Michael, you're a great lobbyist, really, I was almost moved."

"It's just that other foreign consumers don't enjoy the good, so what's my business?"

"Just talking about the market in China, we have a population of 1.4 billion, half of which are women."

"Let's say that only one in seven people use our products, and even if everyone uses five tablets per month, it will consume 500 million tablets a month."

"That's almost 50 million boxes per month, that's 600 million boxes a year."

"Roughly calculated, it is close to $10 billion a year, and such a large market is enough for me to eat for a long time and eat very much."

"As for the consumers you said about benefiting the West, I'm sorry, I can't even take care of the consumers in China, and I really can't take care of them."

Lu Yu looked at Michael for a pause, and then finally said:

"So, I'm sorry, Michael, although your price makes me a little excited, but unfortunately, I won't sell the company."

Michael looked at the resolute Lu Yu with a helpless expression, and secretly scolded this damn yellow-skinned man in his heart, why is he so stubborn?

And why is this company so much that Shetter has no board of directors, it is a private company, and what this young boss says is what it is?

Young people are the most stubborn and do not listen to advice.

And this is still in the ancient country of the East, and many secret methods cannot be used.

After negotiating for a while, in desperation, Michael had no choice but to leave the Hewai Nebula Company with his companions, thinking about how to go back and explain to the board of directors.

……

Lu Yu sat on a chair in the conference room, his fingers tapping on the table, thinking about things with or without a match.

It didn't take long for this to attract the attention of these foreign giants, making him more or less helpless.

With the attention of these foreign giants, it is essential for the company to participate in more fierce competition in advance.

The company has only been established for a short time, and the team has just been completed.

In the face of these pressures, I don't know if I can withstand the test.

Originally, I just wanted to develop, but I didn't expect that my strength would not allow it so soon.

It was already difficult enough to climb technology, and now it has to add such a difficult living environment.

Hey, man blue!

He's really too blue!

But it's good that it's not green.

……

Thinking that he would start to face these giant companies from now on, Lu Yu called Deng Qiang.

After briefly explaining the situation to him, he solemnly told him that starting today, he would compete with these giant companies, and asked him to be ready.

It is not only necessary to continue to strictly implement the quality control system, but also to develop stricter testing procedures to ensure that there are no problems with quality.

In addition, the company's confidentiality measures must also be done well, so that no one can take advantage of it.

Although Lu Yu was confident that no one could steal the formula, because the real formula was only known to him, not even Deng Qiang.

But your production process is fixed, and if someone is interested in investigating it, what if they mistakenly come up with the formula?

Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, the ancestors have already learned a lesson.

So it's better to be careful.

Whether it is useful or not, it is always possible to prepare more and strengthen precautions.

……

Deng Qiang listened and agreed, and said that he would immediately convene a meeting of the managers there.

Then notify everyone to further strengthen the system construction, especially the quality control system.

Every product that leaves the factory must go through multiple tests just in case.

Lu Yu nodded after hearing this, and hung up the phone.

Stand by the window of the conference room and look out the window at the tall buildings and the streets.

Matchbox-like vehicles, ant-like pedestrians.

Lu Yu's mind was a little distant for a while.

Thinking of the development process of another civilization, Lu Yu looked up at the blue sky again, and sighed with emotion in his heart.

It is only when confined to the planet that human beings will expend their energy and indulge in all kinds of battles and intrigues.

When we have the ability to go to outer space, out of the solar system, out of the Milky Way, and into a more magnificent universe, attention and energy will be diverted, and the fighting will be reduced.

But how far is that day?

And when will it come?

……

stayed in the company for a while, listened to Liu Shichang's report on the company's recent situation, and then left the company.

After reading and studying for a while ago, Lu Yu has found a method and idea to create a way to enhance his physique, and he is preparing to verify it.

In terms of increasing life expectancy, there is only a vague hope, and it is not clear for the time being.

A few days ago, a list had been sent to Deng Qiang to purchase a batch of necessary equipment and materials.

Lu Yu came to the humble laboratory in the suburbs established earlier.

This time, he was going to make a physique-enhancing potion, which was much more difficult than the last time he synthesized two new substances.

Putting his phone on silent, he thought back to his mind a few ideas, and began to add materials to the device.

As we all know, when it comes to drugs, they are often much more complex than other products.

This is not just about the relevant production procedures, but also about the various preclinical tests and tests, which are enough to make people's scalp tingle.

Fortunately, Lu Yu was not ready to launch this product in batches, but just wanted to verify the results and see if his ideas were on the right path.

As for the drugs made, he is at most animal experiments.

He doesn't have the dangerous idea of human experimentation.

He didn't have this condition in clinical research.

……

One of the ideas chosen by Lu Yu is to use drugs to greatly enhance cell activity.

Enhances organ function by enhancing cellular activity.

However, due to the different functions of each organ, there are also differences between cell combinations.

So it's not meant to be a one-time job.

In many cases, it can enhance the function of this organ, but it can cause damage to other organs.

This is undoubtedly unacceptable.

Finding a balance in all aspects is not something that can be achieved simply by talking about it.
