After dinner, Yang Chen and Zhang Jingyi watched the musical fountain together.

Afterwards, the two walked to the Four Seasons Hotel in West Lake.

"May I ask why you asked me to work with you?" Yang Chen asked.

Zhang Jingyi smashed Yang Chen's arm with her little pink fist and said, "Your figure makes me feel very secure. To be honest, if I change to a person with average physical fitness, I really don't dare to earn this money with him. 5,000 yuan is a lot, but it's not worth it to be scared out of something, and it's not enough to see a doctor. ”

Yang Chen: "Oh, I see. It seems that it is good to grow stronger, and I can get opportunities that others can't get. ”

Zhang Jingyi: "Haha...... Of course. Handsome and strong boys are very popular, and many girls have no resistance to this kind of boy. ”

Yang Chen: "Really? Then I don't see any girls who have no resistance to me. ”

Zhang Jingyi: "Who said that?" I have no resistance to you, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you to earn the 5,000 yuan with me. I hope you are a good person, if you are a bad person, then I will be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger and kill myself. ”

Yang Chen: "Haha...... Our Dragon Kingdom is a society governed by the rule of law, and there are not so many bad people. ”

Zhang Jingyi: "Listen to the accent, where are you from?" It's a bit like a Haicheng person, and it's a bit of Beijing. ”

Yang Chen: "It seems that you have some special skills in traveling south and north, I am indeed from Haicheng, but now I live in the capital, and occasionally wander around other cities." ”

Zhang Jingyi: "That's right, I've traveled to the north and south to see a lot of knowledge, I've been to every city in our country, and I can basically tell where the other party is from by the accent. ”

The two chatted and came to the Four Seasons Hotel.

Yang Chen checked in, and the room was next door to Zhang Jingyi.

The two said goodbye at the door and entered their respective rooms.

As soon as Yang Chen came out of the shower, Qiu Yuhong called him.

Qiu Yuhong: "Mr. Yang, the intelligence department just reported that the Qin Sect sent 12 to assassinate you, and also launched all the eyeliner channels in Haicheng to find you." ”

Yang Chen: "Qin Men is determined to give Qin Lang a head." I really appreciate their unity. Keep an eye on those 12 people and make them disappear from the world. ”

Qiu Yuhong: "What about the rest of the Qinmen?" Especially Qin Sitong, Qin Huang, Qin Lang, how to deal with the three of them? ”

Yang Chen: "Qin Huang and Qin Lang still came according to the original plan, borrowed their money first, and then made the illusion that they and Gao Qiguo were doing it because of old grievances, and let the Qin family and the Gao family go to Huangquan hand in hand." As for Qin Sitong, don't move for the time being, and when I'm done with the things at hand, I'll talk to him in person. However, you have to give him some warnings to stop acting rashly. ”

Qiu Yuhong: "Okay, I see. Oh, by the way, they also reported that Wang Simiao and Qin Sitong have been getting closer recently. ”

Yang Chen: "Wang Simiao? How old is Qin Sitong? ”

Qiu Yuhong: "80 years old. ”

Yang Chen: "Oh, I see. Qin Sitong is pretending to lend it to Qin Lang, but it is actually for my blood. Wang Simiao's vicious thing doesn't mean that my body is strong, and my blood has the effect of prolonging life. He has recently gotten close to Qin Sitong, and it is likely that he persuaded Qin Sitong to catch me and use my blood to extend Qin Sitong's life. ”

Qiu Yuhong: "It's so outrageous! Since they have such evil thoughts, they can't keep any of them. I think Mr. Yang, don't meet with Qin Sitong, let's just do it. ”

Yang Chen thought for a few seconds, and felt that there was really no need to meet with Qin Sitong.

Then follow Qiu Yuhong's meaning.

The "assassin" of Xingchen Defense made a move, and Yang Chen was still very relieved.

It wasn't early, Yang Chen put down his phone and prepared to sleep.

Just dazed and a little sleepy, Zhang Jingyi knocked on Yang Chen's door with a fruit platter.

"Brother Chen, haven't you slept yet? I'll give it to you. Zhang Jingyi smiled and offered it with both hands.

Yang Chen: "No, no. I don't eat before I go to bed and I've brushed my teeth. Although I am only a ride-hailing driver, I am still very strict with my living habits. ”

Zhang Jingyi: "It can be seen that it is impossible for a person who is not very strict with himself to have such a perfect figure." It's okay not to eat it, the fruit is a little cold, which is not conducive to sleep. Then you can rest, and remember to come back early tomorrow night. ”

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I definitely want to experience the work of a sleep tester." ”

Zhang Jingyi: "Hehe...... Yes. Good night then. ”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and watched Zhang Jingyi go back to the room before closing the door and sleeping.

Yang Chen made an appointment with Mayor Liu to meet at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and he didn't have anything to do for half a day in the morning, so he drove out to solicit customers.

Originally, Yang Chen was in a good mood, and he changed to a different city to experience different customs.

But as soon as he pulled two passengers, Yang Chen received a call from Li Enbei.

Li Enbei: "Mr. Yang, Mayor Liu just called and told us to go to the city government now. The Merck and the gang went to the city hall to speak ill of us, and Mayor Liu told us to go and make it clear to them in person. ”

Yang Chen: "They are really dead!" I was thinking I'd wait until I was done to clean them up, but they would have come to me first. Okay, I'll go over now, and we'll meet at the city hall later. ”

Li Enbei: "Okay, then I'll go over now." See you later. ”

Before that, Brother Ma also said that he would go to the city government with Yang Chen to meet Mayor Liu, and Yang Chen also informed him to go to the city government at three o'clock this afternoon last night.

Now that the time has changed temporarily, Yang Chen still has to say hello to Brother Da Ma.

Yang Chen hurriedly found a place to park his car and immediately called Brother Ma.

Da Ma: "Hey, Mr. Yang, what's the matter?" ”

Yang Chen: "Just now, the city government came to inform me, saying that the people from Merck & Co., Ltd. went to sue me, and Mayor Liu asked me to go over now." Didn't I tell you to meet at 3 o'clock this afternoon, I have to tell you. ”

Big Ma: "That's right. Then I'll go over now, and we'll see you at the door of the city hall. ”

Yang Chen: "I mean, if you don't have a convenient time, don't go." ”

Big Ma: "I'm very free right now, and I don't have that much to do. Since I said that I would go to see Mayor Liu together, of course I will do what I say. I'll leave now, and I'll see you at the city hall later. ”

Yang Chen: "Okay." See you later. ”

More than forty minutes later, Yang Chen came to the city government. 、

At this time, Li Enbei and Brother Da Ma had already arrived, and the two were chatting.

Yang Chen parked the car and stepped forward to greet the two.

Brother Ma said with a smile: "Dong Li told me about the matter between you and Merck, how is Mr. Yang going to deal with them?" ”

Yang Chen: "Since they took the initiative to provoke disputes, then I will definitely take over their challenge." Didn't Thomas tell me to short Merck, then I'll grant his wish. ”

Big Ma: "It's not easy to short Merck. It is an international pharmaceutical giant, and many domestic pharmaceutical companies rely on it to survive. How do you do empty? ”

Yang Chen: "As long as I am willing, there is no company in this world that I can't short." ”

Big Brother: "Haha...... Then this time I want to see how Mr. Yang does Merck & Co., Ltd., and learn from you to invest. ”

Yang Chen: "Haha...... Pull it down. Go, go in and find them. ”

The three of them entered the city hall together and met Mayor Liu.

Mayor Liu didn't expect Yang Chen to bring Brother Da Ma with him, and his expression was a little complicated.

As we all know, Brother Da Ma's status in Hangzhou is extraordinary, and Mayor Liu should also be in awe.

At that time, Da Ma Ge complained about the traffic jam in Hangzhou, and the former mayor immediately said that he would solve the traffic jam problem in Hangzhou within ten years.

When Brother Da Ma is happy, Hangzhou can be happy.

"I didn't expect Mr. Yang to invite Mr. Ma too." Mayor Liu said with a smile.

Brother Da Ma hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, I took the initiative to ask to come along." I haven't seen Mayor Liu for a while, so I took this opportunity to come and see you. ”

Mayor Liu: "Haha...... Ma always has a heart. So you're going to get involved too? ”

Yang Chen: "Mr. Ma, let's listen to it, anyway, it's not an unsightly thing." ”

Big Brother: "Haha...... Mr. Yang doesn't mind, then I'll listen to it. It's okay to be idle anyway, just listen to the story. I'll remember what is wonderful, and I'll forget what isn't. ”

Mayor Liu nodded with a smile, took them to the small conference room, and explained that no one was allowed to approach the small conference room, otherwise they would be demoted.

The Merck delegation is still the same as yesterday, and the leader is still the factory director Toms.

Mayor Liu: "You've all seen it, so I won't introduce it." I will not express my opinion on the hearing, and the two of you can negotiate on your own. ”

Yang Chen beckoned Mr. Ma and Li Dong to sit down, leaned back in his chair and looked at Thomas and his gang with a little contempt.

Thomas said very directly: "My attitude has already been told to Mayor Liu, if Enbei Pharmaceutical cannot fulfill the verbal agreement that has been reached between the two parties, we Merck will prohibit all enterprises in Longguo from producing all of our products." Even if the product has passed the patent period, the company of Dragon Country cannot produce it. Otherwise, we have a way to make the pharmaceutical companies in the Dragon Kingdom pay the price. We have a healthy competitive relationship with Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and other companies, involving our common interests, and they will definitely stand with us Merck. If you don't believe me, you can try. ”

It seems that Toms still doesn't understand why Yang Chen insists on not using their product patents, and he has to insist on independent research and development, otherwise he will definitely not say what he just said.

Yang Chen sneered and said, "Your attitude just now, what you said just now, is the reason why I insist on independent research and development and absolutely do not use patents from foreign companies." If one day you have a product and we also have it, do you dare to make a big statement here? The more aggressive you are, the more I have to stick to my attitude. I can tell you now that Enbei Pharmaceutical will not use any foreign pharmaceutical patents. It's a big deal, we independently develop a product, and we will open a production line. I have a lot of money, and I can support workers. If you're trying to threaten me with this, you're miscalculated. In addition, I have to tell you that my money for working as a worker for nothing must be earned from you Merck. ”

Thoms: "I really don't understand, there are ready-made things to use, why do you have to spend so much money on research?" And there's no guarantee that you'll be successful, and you're likely to waste time and money. Will you be able to manage a company? Start a company not to make money, but to compete? ”

Yang Chen: "Hey, by the way, I'm not interested in money now, I just like to compete with some awesome companies and characters." Especially you foreign companies, who have taken advantage of us for so many years and made a lot of money, but they still backstab us from time to time. I just can't get used to your white-eyed wolf behavior, and I have to be honest with you to the end. ”

Thomas: "Arrogant, self-defeating!" Who do you think you are? If you say you can compete with us! ”

Yang Chen: "If you don't be arrogant, I'll be old when I step on a horse." Okay, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, I've said everything I have to say. Go back and report to your headquarters, I want to get billions of dollars from Merck & Co., Ltd. to feed the workers. I'm going to show you the cards now, and I'll see how you play. Mayor Liu, let's have a good chat here. ”

Mayor Liu was staring at Yang Chen the whole time, and Yang Chen's words just now deeply touched him.

I think he was also a person with ideals and ambitions when he was young, dreaming of making the Dragon Kingdom stand up in front of the people of the world.

It's just that as I get older, my ideals have gradually faded away.

Fortunately, he saw his former self in Yang Chen.

It's just that......

Yang Chen is so tough with Merck, the consequences may really be serious.

Appreciation is appreciation, and the stakes should be made clear to Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, I admire your ideas very much, and I hope you can get your wish. However, I still have to say a few words to you. Many domestic pharmaceutical companies do rely on Merck and other international pharmaceutical giants to survive, if they really join forces to make some small moves, it may be a catastrophe for these domestic pharmaceutical companies, and the consequences are too serious. For example, Zhifei Biotech, ninety percent of its revenue is contributed by Merck's products. If Merck suspends their authorization, Zhifei's more than 10 billion profits and 100 billion market value will collapse overnight, hundreds of thousands of shareholders will lose their hard-earned money, and tens of thousands of employees may lose their jobs. I know you don't have to think about these issues from your point of view, but you have to think about these issues from the government's point of view. Can you see what I mean? ”

Even if the market value of Zhifei Biotech collapsed overnight, it would have no impact on Yang Chen, and he would not blink his eyelids.

But for the government, this is a big problem, because it involves hundreds of billions of funds, as well as the work of tens of thousands of employees.

If it really comes to this point, governments at all levels will definitely favor Merck & Co., Ltd., requiring Yang Chen to accept Merck's product patents and stop the research and development of similar drugs.

It sounds magical, but that's the reality.

Brother Da Ma's expression was solemn, and he said, "Mr. Yang should understand these truths, so let's be cautious." Don't be as high-spirited as I was back then, but now you have to deliberately restrain yourself. The government always thinks about the interests of the majority, and most of the time it will sacrifice the interests of the few to meet the interests of the majority. For example, demolition and relocation often have the problem of nail households, but demolition still has to be carried out, without demolition, how to build high-speed railways, high-speeds, and high-rise buildings to develop the economy? If we had stopped doing it for the sake of taking care of the interests of a few, we might still be stuck in 30 years ago. ”

If it was Yang Chen five years ago, he would definitely not consider these issues, and his ideological consciousness would not be able to consider the problems at this level.

But now he has to think about it, there is a saying that moral kidnapping is very good, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, if it is because of personal grievances that lead to the collapse of domestic pharmaceutical companies and tens of thousands of employees lose their jobs, he can't bear it.

It's just that he still doesn't want to give in.

Yang Chen: "Toms, why don't we make a bet, if I win, according to my will, if I lose, according to your will." I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't have to think from the government's point of view. If you really push me into a hurry, I just don't care about the life and death of those pharmaceutical companies, and no one can do anything about me. So, let's use this bet to decide who has the final say. How is it? ”

Toms: "What bet?" ”

Yang Chen: "I just said that I want to be short MSD. If I succeed in shorting, you are not allowed to do anything else. If I fail, I'll sign you up immediately and suspend all R&D work that conflicts with your patents. ”

Toms: "Haha...... Yes! Don't say we bullied you, I'll give you this chance. However, we have to set a standard of income. If you can't go down and fluctuate normally, you can count yourself as a successful short, right? ”

Yang Chen nodded.

Toms: "So, as long as you can make a profit of more than 10 billion meters by shorting the Merck stock price, we will count you as winning." If you don't make that much profit, you've lost. ”

Mayor Liu, Brother Da Ma, Li Enbei, and other personnel from MSD all thought that Yang Chen would refuse, but to their surprise, Yang Chen accepted the standard of making a profit of 10 billion meters without any hesitation.

"No problem! You can't make a profit of 10 billion meters by shorting Merck stock, I'll leave it at your disposal! Yang Chen said very confidently.

Toms: "Haha...... Good! You will surely pay dearly for your hubris! ”

Yang Chen accepted Toms's request so casually, but Li Enbei, Mayor Liu, and Brother Da Ma were shocked.

Li Enbei hurriedly asked, "Mr. Yang, are you a little impulsive?" Merck is not good at shorting, and I really can't find any reason to do so. And to make a profit of 10 billion meters of gold, this standard is too high. ”

Mayor Liu also hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Yang, this kind of thing is not reckless." If you lose, your reputation will be ruined. And...... I don't know if they'll ask for anything more from you. ”

Brother Da Ma also felt that 10 billion rice gold was too much, and persuaded: "Mr. Yang, I don't know why you are so confident." However, I think any investment should be thoroughly investigated before the results can be evaluated. You didn't prepare anything, and you agreed to it in one bite, isn't it a bit too hasty? It's not that I don't believe in your abilities, but I think it's better to be cautious. ”

Obviously, none of the three of them could understand why Yang Chen was so impulsive.

Toms laughed and said, "Mr. Yang, did you hear that?" Mayor Liu, Mr. Ma, and Chairman Li are all not optimistic about you. I think you better not waste your time, just admit defeat. We will not make any additional demands on you, but only ask you to honor the verbal agreements you have made with us. In the future, like Zhifei Biotechnology and other companies, we can use our product patents with peace of mind, and don't do our own research and development. ”

Made, Yang Chen just didn't want to do this kind of begging-like thing, and Toms just wanted to force him to do it, this wasn't looking for a draw.

Yang Chen: "Let's still judge heroes by results, there's no point in talking nonsense." Okay, it's decided, and the results will be out before Double 11. Let's go, Mayor Liu and I have other things to discuss. ”

Thomas sneered and left with the team.

Mayor Liu sent them away, and then quickly ran back.

At this time, Brother Da Ma and Li Enbei were persuading Yang Chen to think about it again, this is a big deal.

Mayor Liu also hurriedly said: "Mr. Yang, aren't you really afraid of losing?" At least so far, your image is flawless in everyone's mind. But if you lose this time, your image will be ruined. ”

Yang Chen: "I still care about this?" Few people know me, so I don't care what they think of me. Okay, let's not talk about this kind of bet that won't lose, let's talk about the relocation of the headquarters of Enbei Pharmaceutical. ”

Mayor Liu, Brother Da Ma, Li Enbei: "......"

A bet to win without losing?

So, why does he dare to be so confident?
