The effect of Xingchen Investment's announcement is very obvious, the pharmaceutical sector instantly pulls up, and the stocks that have fallen sharply or even fall have been red, and the mood and account balance of shareholders have experienced a rollercoaster change.

But those retail investors who can't hold their breath and sell it are not so lucky, they sell it when it falls, and now they dare not chase it after the big rise, even if they chase it back, it also increases the cost, and it is really a loss, this is the status quo of many retail investors speculating in stocks, chasing up and down, the rhythm is not right, and the hard-earned money is lost.

"I'm super, I don't have the life to make money, just a few minutes after I sold it, Xingchen Investment made an announcement."

"Fortunately, I insisted on believing in Boss Yang and resisted the urge to sell."

"Haha...... I made a lot of money, I earned 20 points a day, I said that you sell it and I will buy it, and I believe that Boss Yang will fight back. Comfortable, go to the club at night to have a good time, I want to call four horses! ”

……

However, the pharmaceutical industry has pulled back, which does not mean that all stocks have risen, and the stocks of pharmaceutical companies such as Zhifei Biotechnology, which relies on Merck for 90% of its revenue, are still closed and stopped, but other pharmaceutical stocks that have been affected have been pulled back.

Representatives of a small number of pharmaceutical companies represented by Zhifei Biotech who are inseparable from Merck quickly expressed their protest to the local government, hoping that the government would mediate the conflict between Yang Chen and Merck and not cause them to suffer heavy losses.

This is Merck's confidence, and it is also the reason why Yang Chen chose to bet on who has the final say on both sides, because these companies will definitely put pressure on the government departments, and then put pressure on Yang Chen.

They never want to change the status quo, as long as they can make money, even if they are manipulated by Merck.

No, Xingchen Investment has received calls from local governments, hoping that they can reconcile with Merck and not affect other companies because of their conflicts.

Jin Ming replied that this was a normal business practice and would not settle with Merck.

Merck prohibits other companies from using patents, which is an issue between MSD and other companies, and has nothing to do with Centron Investment, for which Centron Investment does not assume any responsibility.

Jin Ming even tactfully reminded them why they didn't want to think about the fact that Merck & Co., Ltd. could decide the life and death of those companies with a single statement, and instead came to find an irrelevant Xingchen investment.

After all, Yang Chen's base camp is in Haicheng, and they hope that the Haicheng government can communicate with Yang Chen and not hurt other enterprises by mistake.

Mayor Chen said yes, but he wouldn't pass on the word to them at all.

The few pharmaceutical companies that rely on Merck for survival are gone, and there are other pharmaceutical companies that can be replaced.

If Yang Chen is angry and leaves, there will be no one to replace.

Which is more important, Mayor Chen can see it very clearly.

The contradiction between Yang Chen and Merck quickly spread across the network, and major media followed up and reported it.

Longguo Pharmaceutical News: The pharmaceutical industry has been hit hard, and the international pharmaceutical giant Merck suddenly announced that it would ban Longguo Pharmaceutical from using the company's patents to produce drugs. If the ban takes effect, Zhifei Biotech, which relies on Merck for 90% of its revenue, will encounter a major crisis. At present, Centron Investment has declared war on Merck, and the company will officially short Merck.

Financial Times: Affected by Merck's ban announcement, the pharmaceutical sector first suffered a heavy blow and plunged as a whole, and then rose sharply under the influence of the announcement of Xingchen Investment, and as of the close, the pharmaceutical sector rose 3.05%. However, Zhifei Biotech, which relies on Merck for 90% of its revenue, and Menova, which has just signed a contract with Merck & Co., Ltd., and other companies that rely on Merck & Co., Ltd. to survive are not so lucky, and their stock prices are locked down. Xingchen Investment has officially declared war on Merck & Co., Ltd., and I don't know if Boss Yang can shake this international pharmaceutical giant this time. It's just that domestic pharmaceutical companies are suffering, and they may have to go through a difficult time.

There was a commotion here in the Dragon Kingdom, and naturally it soon spread to the United States and even the world.

For example, netizens from various countries on YouTube are expressing their opinions on this matter.

Longguo netizen: "It is said that this time it was Merck that asked Boss Yang to accept their patent and stop independent research and development. Boss Yang firmly disagreed, and Merck used this way to force him to agree. Originally, Boss Yang set up a gambling contract with Merck, but I don't know why it was suddenly canceled again. In short, this time the two sides openly tore their faces, and they must distinguish a winner or loser. As for the pharmaceutical companies that rely on Merck to survive in Dragon Country, in my opinion, it doesn't matter if they go out of business, anyway, anyone can do the foundry, and companies without independent research and development capabilities should have the consciousness of being replaced at any time. ”

Mi netizens: "Is it Yang Chen from Xingchen Investment?" The capital predator who harvests our banking sector? The one that Warren Buffett is willing to bow to? Originally, I thought that Merck would definitely win and not lose, but their opponent this time was Yang Chen, so I had to change my mind. I think in the end, Xingchen Investment won, as for how to win, I don't know, but I can follow Xingchen Investment to short MSD and eat a wave of meat. ”

Stick country netizens: "Yang Chen is becoming more and more arrogant, and he will not bring much trouble to his country if he is blindly stirring up money in capital fashion." But he offended all the international pharmaceutical giants, so what kind of medicine do the people of Longguo take? Even if the sale of drugs is not banned in the Dragon Kingdom out of humanitarianism, the people of the Dragon Kingdom will definitely pay a high price for medicines. Originally, it was expensive and difficult to see a doctor in the Dragon Kingdom, but Yang Chen did this, and the people of the Dragon Kingdom were even more miserable. And I don't think Yang Chen can win against MSD this time, because MSD really has the confidence and capital. ”

A Sanguo netizen: "Well done Yang Chen, I was really impressed, and he dared to do it to Merck." You can rest assured, if companies such as Merck and Co., Ltd. ban the sale of drugs in Dragon Country, our country has alternatives. The whole world knows that our country's medicines are unfettered, they can do whatever they want, and it's cheap. ”

Mao Xiong netizen: "Well done my friends of the Dragon Kingdom, these international giants are making waves all over the world and earning countless gold and silver treasures, but they still threaten with life-saving drugs, it is really despicable and shameless, and there is no basic humanity at all." I think high-tech restrictions are understandable, but to threaten life-saving things such as drugs and food is inhumane. Looking forward to Yang Chen's victory, we must make these pharmaceutical companies succumb. ”

French netizens: "Yang Chen is a little impulsive this time." He didn't care about the safety of the people of the Dragon Kingdom at all, and he was purely motivated. What if he succeeds in shorting in the end? Do the people of the Dragon Kingdom still have medicine to eat? This is completely irresponsible, and I think the people of the Dragon Kingdom should unite to condemn him. ”

……

Foreign media sent out relevant reports overnight.

Button Times: Stars Investment has made another move after a long period of silence, this time targeting pharmaceutical giant Merck. The reason is that Yang Chen is unwilling to abide by the established order, refuses to use Merck's patents, and insists on independent research and development, which seriously undermines the established order of the pharmaceutical market. Of course, Merck wanted to teach him a lesson, so he declared that it would prohibit Longguo Pharmaceutical from using Merck's patents. In response, Centron Investment stated that it was short Merck. As we all know, many drugs around the world are developed by companies such as Merck, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, etc. If this matter is not resolved, the Dragon Kingdom may no longer be able to use these normally visible medicines, which is definitely a huge harm to the people of the Dragon Kingdom. Yang Chen, are you ready to apologize?

Associated Press: This world is about rules and order, and if you don't follow the rules and order, you will inevitably be punished. Yang Chen, the boss of Xingchen Investment, is unwilling to abide by the rules of MSD, and the contradictions between the two sides have become irreconcilable. At present, Merck issued an announcement to prohibit pharmaceutical companies in Dragon Kingdom from using their patents, and in response, Star Investment issued an announcement to officially short Merck. The two sides openly tore their faces, and Xingchen Investment said that there was no possibility of reconciliation, which shows that the winner must be separated. But for Merck, even if they lose, they can use the withdrawal of the dragon country as a threat, and the dragon country will definitely try its best to keep it, and even offer more preferential conditions. In this case, is it still necessary for Xingchen Investment to win?

……

Judging from the comments of foreign netizens and media reports, they have all determined a fact, that is, the Dragon Kingdom cannot afford to lose Merck, or that the Dragon Kingdom cannot find a way to replace Merck.

Therefore, they will conclude that even if Merck loses the duel with Yang Chen, in the end, the Dragon Kingdom will still use more preferential conditions to retain Merck, so the result is that Merck lost and did not lose, and Yang Chen won and did not win.

But what they don't know is that Yang Chen already has a process that can replace Merck's full range of products, and Merck has to withdraw from the Longguo market, and Enbei Pharmaceutical will directly take over Merck's original market share.

Mayor Liu of Hangcheng called Yang Chen and asked, "Mr. Yang, what are you doing?" Got the news? ”

Yang Chen: "Sports cars solicit customers." What's the news? ”

Mayor Liu: "My God, my Mr. Yang, you have poked a hole in the sky, and you are still in the mood to solicit customers in sports cars, are you not afraid that the consequences will be so serious that you can't afford it?" ”

Yang Chen: "No...... Why didn't I figure it out? What day did I poke a hole out? ”

Mayor Liu: "The matter between you and MSD. Now even foreigners know about it, and foreign media are rushing to report it. You've got a big game this time. ”

Yang Chen: "Originally, I was going to play big." Little fight, do you think I'll be interested? ”

Mayor Liu: "I really can't understand your thoughts, you insist on shorting Merck and make a guaranteed profit of 10 billion meters, but you canceled the bet with Merck. So what's the point of you winning? Aren't we still going to be threatened by them with patents? When the time comes, if you win, it's the same as if you didn't win, and if you don't know how much money you make, we will have to pay others how much money they will have to pay for people to continue to let our pharmaceutical companies use their patents. Can't you think about these questions? I told you that you can't just think about this from your personal point of view, you have to think from the macro perspective of the government and the people. It's impossible for someone of your level not to understand these truths, right? ”

Yang Chen: "If I didn't understand these truths, I would have done things according to my own will, and I would have to go to great lengths to deal with them in such a way?" In my usual way of doing things, I sentenced them to death when he dared to say the first rude word to me. was pinched by others, and now I know that it is uncomfortable. Why did you go before that? Why not develop independently? Zhifei Biotech earns 10 billion a year, is there no money for research and development? What did all this money do? Every day you wait to eat the leftovers of other people's alms, and one day people are not happy and don't give you food, but you blame the people around you for being unhappy, and don't blame yourself for not being willing to work. It's ridiculous. I'm driving, so I won't tell you. If there are any consequences in this matter, I can bear it alone, and I don't need anyone to worry about it. Hung up. ”

Yang Chen was so angry that he stopped the car and drank a bottle of water to dissipate his anger.

And it's not too early, he has to go to Aligaba headquarters to attend the banquet of important shareholders organized by Ma Zong.

At seven o'clock, Yang Chen came to the headquarters of Aligaba.

Mr. Ma had already arranged for someone to wait at the gate, and after Yang Chen identified himself, the staff took him directly to the executive's restaurant.

Because tonight is just an informal shareholder exchange meeting, Mr. Ma did not make it particularly formal, everyone sat together to eat and drink briefly, and exchanged views on the development of Aligaba and the current dragon country and the world economy, and there was no need to vote on any proposals.

When Mr. Ma saw Yang Chen coming, he hurriedly ran over to greet him.

"Mr. Yang, good evening. Everyone is waiting for you to come over and hear how the conflict between you and MSD is going to be resolved. Brother Da Ma said with a smile.

Yang Chen: "Didn't I already make it very clear, I just want to be short MSD." ”

At this time, Boss Cai, who had just returned from Mi Guo, came over and took the initiative to shake hands with Yang Chen and say hello.

"Hello Mr. Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you. Mr. Yang didn't make a move, and as soon as he made a move, it was earth-shattering. After a few months of silence, suddenly a big one came. ”

Yang Chen: "Hello Boss Cai, you are very busy, I watched you watch the game in the NBA a few days ago, and I came to Hangzhou today." ”

Boss Cai: "Haha...... Basketball is just a hobby, work matters. ”

At this time, Sun Zhengyi, the most important shareholder of Aligaba, came over.

Mr. Ma was worried that Yang Chen didn't know him, so he hurriedly introduced the two.

Sun Zhengyi: "Mr. Yang is good, and he has admired his name for a long time." I didn't expect Mr. Yang to make such a big move today, which is really shocking. As the saying goes, heroes come out of teenagers since ancient times, and this is too suitable for Mr. Yang. ”

Yang Chen: "Boss Sun is polite, if you want to say that the hero has to be you, I listened to your story when I was a child, saying that you have a unique vision, and you have invested in many large companies with SoftBank, and you have made a lot of money." Compared to you, I'm just a trickster. ”

Sun Zhengyi: "Haha...... Mr. Yang, don't scold me. I have only accumulated such a little wealth over the years, and Mr. Yang has accumulated uncountable wealth in the past few years, and I am not qualified to compare with Mr. Yang. ”

Yang Chen: "Boss Sun is too modest, and being overly modest is pride." ”

"Haha......" everyone laughed.

Brother Da Ma hurriedly introduced other shareholders to Yang Chen, and then beckoned everyone to sit down and chat while eating.

"Today, I mainly want to exchange my views on the company's and economic development with all shareholders, not a formal banquet and a general meeting of shareholders. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely set up a table for everyone. Brother Da Ma said with a smile.

Boss Cai: "Isn't the opportunity in front of you?" When Mr. Yang successfully shorted MSD, Mr. Ma set up a table and invited everyone to gather together to celebrate Mr. Yang. ”

Sun Zhengyi: "Haha...... I think it's a good opportunity. Mr. Yang, you must win. We're all waiting for the feast. ”

Yang Chen: "I'm super, your sentence makes it seem like I'm going to get cold." ”

"Haha......" the audience laughed.

Yang Yuan, president of Yahu, said with a smile: "I read the views of the United States, and basically think that Merck will win and not lose this time." Even if Mr. Yang succeeds in shorting Merck, Merck can also ask for more benefits from the Dragon Kingdom. The ending is that Merck lost and didn't lose, and Yang won and didn't win. If Mr. Yang loses, the consequences will be even more serious, and all the honors accumulated before will be lost. Mr. Yang, what do you think of this view? ”

Yang Chen: "I didn't take MSD seriously at all, I don't think there will be a situation where I win and don't win, and MSD loses and doesn't lose." There is only one result, and it must be that I win. ”

"Haha......" the bigwigs laughed.

Brother Da Ma: "What I want is this self-confidence." Come, let's raise a glass and cheer for Mr. Yang. After MSD, I officially threw a banquet to celebrate. ”

Everyone took a sip of their glasses.

After the inconsequential pleasantries, everyone began to talk about Aligaba and the current economic situation, both domestically and internationally.

Except for Yang Chen, everyone else is pessimistic, the domestic and international economies are in shambles, and the international situation is unstable, which adds to everyone's worries.

But Yang Chen didn't think so, he felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Why?

Because of the intensification of international competition, many high-tech products have been restricted, the government and enterprises are actively working hard to engage in independent research and development, the current should be the most suitable stage for research and development in the history of the Dragon Kingdom, the right time and place and all occupied.

For example, in order to develop semiconductors, new energy vehicles and other industries, the state has taken out real money to subsidize enterprises to actively research and develop.

The people of the whole country are now clearly aware of the fact that only if you have it can you be considered down-to-earth, and it is always unsafe to use other people's things, and if others are happy, they will use it for you, and if they are unhappy, they will immediately restrict it, and you have no way to take other people's things.

Entrepreneurs are also actively acting, although some people step on the horse purely to cheat the state subsidies, but it is better to do better than not to do well, there is half the chance of success if you do it, and the chance of success if you don't do it is zero.

In the past, there would be great resistance to commercialization of any research results, and the first thing to bear the brunt of this was the pressure from foreign companies, who would reduce the price or even give it to the dragon country for free, so as to suppress the new research results of the dragon country.

Now it is different, as long as there are new research results that can replace foreign science and technology, the state will actively guide them into commercialization and replace the products and technologies of foreign enterprises.

The word "decoupling" has been repeatedly mentioned in international relations, and if you want to decouple from others, you must first have your own technology and products that can replace others.

Overall, Yang Chen believes that now is the best opportunity for entrepreneurs in the Dragon Kingdom.

Seize the opportunity, and in a few decades, the brand of Longguo will also become "Siemens", "General Motors", "Panasonic", "Johnson & Johnson" and so on.

If you can't seize the opportunity, you can only survive on the handouts of others.

The bigwigs on the scene all fell into contemplation, crisis crisis, danger and opportunity coexist, they only saw the danger, but ignored the opportunity.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that most of them do not regard the Dragon Kingdom as the base camp of the main battlefield, so naturally they will not have the idea of this direction.

Yang Chen has the heart of the Dragon Kingdom, and he will always be rooted in the Dragon Kingdom, and he will definitely give priority to considering the problem from the perspective of the Dragon Kingdom, so he thinks this is an opportunity.

As long as their products are good enough, such as quantum chips, the whole world will rush to grab them, and there is no need to deliberately cater to foreign markets.

However, other shareholders want to take care of both the dragon country and foreign markets, which leads them to suffer from both gains and losses, deliberately focus on the big environmental issues, and then come to the conclusion that there are many crises.

Brother Da Ma: "Mr. Yang's idea is really different, and it may be precisely because of this that Mr. Yang can do things that none of us can do, and achieve results that none of us can achieve." Let's not talk about the macro economy, I would like to ask Mr. Yang what he thinks about the development focus of our Aligaba in the next few years. ”

Yang Chen: "I never ask about the company's operation, Mr. Ma, don't you embarrass me." With so many experienced business tycoons present, I'm not a class leader. ”

Big Brother: "Haha...... Mr. Yang said with a smile, let's just chat, let's talk casually. ”

Yang Chen: "Then I'll say it." I think the focus of Aligaba in the next few years should be Taobao Bao, not Tmall Cat. In other words, civilian consumption should be developed and investment in the high-end consumer market should be weakened. As the bosses just said, the world's economy is in a mess, everyone's expectations are not good, and everyone is ready to live a hard life, so naturally they dare not consume high. Therefore, Taobao Bao ten years ago and the current Pinxi will be more popular, and the share of so-called high-end online malls such as Tmall Cat and Dog Dong will definitely decline a lot. ”

Brother Da Ma nodded and said: "I have the same view as Mr. Yang, the focus of development in the next few years should be in the low-end market, and the investment in the high-end market should be greatly reduced." The current international situation is indeed very uncertain, foreign trade is not good, can only develop domestic demand, but the people have no money to spend, can only choose low-end products to meet the basic needs of life. ”

can think the same as Mr. Ma, it seems that Yang Chen has something.

Sun Zhengyi asked with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Yang's judgment on the economy is very accurate, what do you think of the economy of our island country?" ”

Yang Chen: "I don't have any opinions, I don't know much about it." ”

Sun Zhengyi's face was a little embarrassed, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Yang never thought of entering the island market? ”

Yang Chen shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it." Not only the island market, but also the market of other countries, I didn't deliberately want to go, I always asked foreigners to come and beg me to cooperate with them. ”

"Haha...... Mr. Yang is really temperamental, and he speaks more directly. "Brother Ma hurriedly played the round.

After all, several shareholders at the scene are foreigners, even Boss Cai and Boss Yahu Yang, who have faces in the Dragon Kingdom, are also foreign nationals, and Yang Chen is indeed a bit of a faceless person when he talks like this.

However, Yang Chen is telling the truth, he does not take the initiative to develop foreign markets, and it is indeed foreigners who rush to cooperate with him, such as quantum chips, and rain bombs with a range of 20,000 kilometers, Xingchen Technology will receive hundreds of calls from foreign companies and governments every day to seek cooperation.

In this case, does Yang Chen need to deliberately develop foreign markets?

No, you don't.

As long as you guarantee that you are absolutely ahead, you don't need to understand the foreign market, and the foreign market will take the initiative to seek cooperation, and even beg to give them the opportunity to cooperate.

Sun Zhengyi was a little unhappy, after all, Yang Chen didn't like the island market.

"Mr. Yang is young and vigorous, I can understand it."

Yang Chen immediately retorted: "This has nothing to do with being young and vigorous, it is purely because I don't look down on the island market." A big place, that little population, what can I know about it? You Panasonic, Sony, Mitsubishi or something have made many phone calls to meet with me, and I don't think it's necessary to meet with them. They can't get what I'm interested in in exchange, and I'm not very interested in money, do you think I need to meet them? People to people, enterprises to enterprises, countries to countries, that is the exchange of interests, I give you what you want, you give me what you want, the two sides can continue to communicate. You only want what I want, but you can't get what I want, so why should I bother you? ”
