Chapter 97: Medicine (3)

Groton, Connecticut, United States.
In the new millennium, Pfizer held an opening ceremony for the world's largest pharmaceutical R & D center. This institution with the world's most advanced facilities employs more than 700 researchers and has the world's most advanced production facilities and testing technology. However, it has been greatly affected by generic drugs. Since last year, the world's largest pharmaceutical company There was a negative growth in pharmaceutical sales, and net profit income fell 57% year-on-year. Not only caused the stock price to decrease, but also caused a cash flow shortage.
In this case, President Steele can put down all his work and seek new financing channels, and new corporate bonds are just one of them. Of course, in the case of shrinking performance, financing performance is not satisfactory.
When learning that Huang Xuan had raised US $ 1.2 billion, Steele was shocked. He originally thought it would be a few months late, and after receiving confirmation from Citi, he immediately informed the board of the news. In the past quarter, the board of directors almost squeezed his lungs for funding issues.
Connecticut is the third smallest state in the United States, and most people may never hear its name. In addition to the prosperous insurance industry and the manufacture of nuclear submarines, there are indeed few places in this small state that are famous, and Yale University is an exception. The three recent Presidents of the United States have all come out of this, and have given many people imagination.
As for the city of Groton, it was just a little-known town. When Huang Xuan transferred in New York, there was even only one flight.
Of course, Pfizer's drug research and development center is not inferior at all. After being confirmed by Lorraine, Huang Xuan was relieved.
Look at the introduction of Pfizer in the energy screen. Huang Xuan said very heartily: "Lorraine, how about a batch of pharmaceutical formulas we sold to Pfizer?"
"In their own planes, all temporal and spatial behavior will cause the buffer zone to decrease."
"So what, we just need to increase the buffer energy."
Lorraine later replied: "Actually, our current plane travel has caused a reduction in the energy of the buffer zone. Although it is less than expected, in comparison, in addition to the assassination of Napoleon, The behavior can only be said to be balanced. If this state is maintained, it is very troublesome to deliberately reduce the time and space buffer zone, and then encounter problems such as travelers. "
Huang Xuan turned his head around. Dao: "So long as we can increase the energy of the buffer zone, we can sell the formula?"
"There is no problem in theory. However, it must be taken into account that in some cases, the advance application of technology may cause the continuous reduction of the energy of the buffer zone. On the other hand, any estimation of the energy consumption of the buffer zone is limited."
"Got it." Where did Huang Xuan understand so much, anxiously asked: "How much energy would it take to sell a formula like a best-selling drug?" Selling drugs usually refer to drugs with a sales volume of more than $ 1 billion. For example, Viagra (Viagra).
"More than 200,000 cantons." Lorraine quickly estimated: "The early loss should be 1,200 cantons, and then slowly lose 200,000 cantons, maybe more."
"How much did we make last time we killed Napoleon?"
"4000 canton."
Hearing such a big gap in numbers, Huang Xuan froze for a while, and said, "Why is there so much difference? I would make a Viagra and make the buffer band react so much?"
"Drugs will change the state of life. The subsequent chain reaction is difficult to predict. The best-selling drugs are more direct. They are usually special effects drugs. They have real efficacy and function." Explaining this problem, Lorraine continued: "In addition, We killed Napoleon, we can only get a part of the early loss of the azimuth plane, and we can not get the later loss of the P129 plane. On the contrary, we must bear the losses caused by the plane, one by one, one by one, The gap has increased. "
Huang Xuanxian was very disappointed and said: "Is it unusable?"
"It's not true." Lorraine said truthfully: "Technology such as programs, changes are usually not big. Whether people use or use systems will not affect the development of the plane. Similarly, increasing industrial efficiency by a few percentage points, Not much buffer energy is consumed. "
Huang Xuan became happy this time and said, "Then how much energy do you need to reduce the buffer zone for an advanced system?"
"If you search it and give it to you, it will only consume a few Ringtones, but if you completely replace the system, it will take about 50,000 Ringtones." Lorraine is very serious.
Huang Xuan swallowed, but if he killed Napoleon 10 times and could get 200 billion dollars, it wouldn't be too bad. It is now at the entrance, and you can see a tall sign that reads "Huang Xuan". He still couldn't help but ask, "What are the technologies that consume less?"
"A lot." Lorraine's answer was short and powerful.
Huang Xuan swallowed again.
Too late to say anything, Pfizer's representative Bob had already seen Huang Xuan and the five Israeli bodyguards around him. He pointed at the sign with one finger and shouted in plain Chinese: "Mr. Huang Xuan?"
Huang Xuan walked over with a smile on his face. It looked like a high school student who came to travel. Who knows this guy spent 80 million dollars to come here.
Although the bonds are managed by Citi, the huge loan of US $ 1.2 billion is still indispensable. Huang Xuan has spent all his cash in two consecutive trips, and after collateralizing some of the jewels, he made up the full loan. It is the interest loss of more than 3 per year, and the interest of Pfizer bonds is 6.8. In other words, the two-year bond will theoretically lose 80 million US dollars. The president of Steele, who has not met yet, equates to a fourfold increase in asking price.
This situation can only be said that Zhou Yu hit the yellow cover-Yang Zhouyu is also Zhou Yu. Huang Xuan was not dissatisfied, but he was dissatisfied when he bought a life for 80 million dollars.
There were 3 people who came to pick up the plane. Only Bob can speak Chinese, but he can only speak it. Huang Xuan had no choice but to communicate with him in English, and he continued to practice oral English. One of the major characteristics of learning from the base is that listening and speaking are excellent, but reading is inferior. As for the writing problem, maybe the comrades at that time did not consider it at all.
"Mr. Huang wants to develop the pharmaceutical industry in China?" Bob asked half speculatively. This is how many foreign companies make money. As long as you buy their products, they will teach you how to sell and how to produce. For example, in the additive industry, many foreign companies spend a lot of money to study formulas, and you can use these formulas as long as you buy their additives. This method effectively increases the competitiveness of the product. Similarly, centralized research also reduces R & D. Cost and reduce the risk of downstream manufacturers.
Of course, Huang Xuan didn't know the rules here, but his natural acuity made him unwilling to tell others his own things easily. He smiled recklessly and turned the topic to Pfizer.
Bob had to introduce his company, which was what he meant. Huang Xuan did not have time to pay attention to these things at this time. His head was pretended to be messy. Some people talked slowly, and it sounded a lot more comfortable.
Like most business groups, Pfizer's strength comes from several successful mergers. After the merger of Warner Lambert, Pfizer established the current pharmaceutical research and development center. He took the throne of the world's No. 1 pharmaceutical company, but trouble soon followed.
The most troublesome is nothing more than a shortage of funds.
Pfizer issued a total of 6 billion US dollars of short-term bonds, but Wall Street is not optimistic about this, in addition, due to the opposition of the board of directors, it can not come up with better attractive measures, such as debt-to-equity swaps Conditional conversion to stock). The single interest rate return keeps Pfizer bonds undervalued in the bond market, and only children like Huang Xuan will be caught in the ropes. Bob thought so.
Steele also wanted to see the little white wolf that was caught, and several directors waiting in the center. The most important thing is that the money has not been obtained yet.
Just after the car entered Yingbin Road, several people greeted it. Huang Xuan changed his previous formal wear and wore a set of Louis Vuitton casual clothes-this is Zhang Xinyi's choice for her son. She feels that Huang Xuan's age is negotiating with people, and it is easier to reflect casual clothes than suits. characteristic. The big guys are even more stressful. Five guys with a length of nearly 2 meters stand upright, and they are still very domineering.
"Mr. Huang, I am very happy to see you. Your generous help rejuvenated Pfizer." Steele clasped his hands tightly, and his palms were about the size of Huang Xuan ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It was dry and gentle, and it would not make people Feeling sick.
"Pfizer has always been full of vitality, I just increased its power." Huang Xuan did not skimp on praise, although he still does not understand why a company that sells $ 12 billion for a drug will still be in financial trouble.
It seems that Steele is happy that someone admits his merits. He releases his right hand to introduce Huang Xuan to the board members who came to meet him, and his left hand still pulls Huang Xuan, as if he is a kind elder. But there is no mention of Huang Xuan's age in words.
Huang Xuan frowned slightly, and after knowing everyone again, pretending not to wait, said: "Mr. Steele, I want to see the laboratory here."
"That is of course." Although Steele knew Huang Xuan's request, he still pulled the person next to him and said, "Let Dr. Ginger accompany you, he is very familiar with the equipment of the center."
Ginger is a slightly fat Belgian. The deputy director of the research center, Huang Xuan, shook his head without hesitation: "Mr. Steele, I think it is better to leave me alone. Dr. Ginger must be very busy."
Steele glanced at Huang Xuan, who was very serious, and nodded reluctantly: "Ginger, you listen to Mr. Huang, introduce him to our laboratory, just like I said before."
