"Boss, since you clearly knew that Tonghe Pharmaceutical had problems, why did you still take on the entire project?"
After learning about the feud between Xinghai Venture Capital and Griffin Jones, Chen Leyao vaguely understood the whole story, but she was still a little confused and asked hesitantly: "Boss, do you have a way to solve this problem?"
"clever."
Xia Xu gave her a thumbs up in approval and chuckled, "I've actually been eyeing this project for a long time. Even if Griffin Jones doesn't come, I'll still get involved. If he's planning to use this to trick us, then we'll end up losing more than we gain."
"But what exactly is the problem? Griffin Jones's analysis report is perfect. I can't see any problem with it."
Chen Leyao frowned slightly and asked doubtfully.
You know, before her boss came, she and the people in the investment department unanimously agreed on this project. If it weren't for her boss's doubts about Griffin Jones, she might have really presided over this project personally.
If there is a problem in this project, doesn't it mean that she made a serious mistake in judgment
This was a big blow to her, who had just finished her studies and started working, both in terms of her self-esteem and professional performance.
"Sister Le Yao, this is not your fault. The problem does not lie with Tonghe Pharmaceuticals and Griffin Jones."
Xia Xu understood Chen Leyao's thoughts, shook his head, and said, "Remember what Griffin Jones said in the analysis report? The most critical link of the new drug developed by Tonghe Pharmaceutical is in the hands of another company."
"Is there something wrong with the technology that company has?"
Chen Leyao's expression changed slightly when she heard this.
This is indeed what she overlooked.
In fact, it cannot be said that they ignored it. Since they are investing in Tonghe Pharmaceutical, their focus must be on this company and its initiator Griffin Jones.
After all, they are not insiders in the industry when it comes to patents and new drugs, so they can only do preliminary consultation and conduct further verification after confirming the feasibility.
But if the subsequent verification fails to find anything, and Xinghai Venture Capital really invests a large amount of money in the research and development of new drugs but there is no result, then it will be a lot of fun.
Because before taking this step, in order to ensure their profits, they must first acquire a large number of Tonghe Pharmaceutical's shares, and even spend extra money to purchase another company's technical patents.
This investment would cost tens of millions of dollars, and if something goes wrong the entire company might be doomed.
"Griffin Jones is not that stupid. There is nothing wrong with his technique. This is why he is so confident that he can deceive us. This is also the most sinister part."
Xia Xu sneered and said, "The key to the problem lies in the technical patent rights. The patent held by that company is in a dispute with another company.
Just think about it, if we spend a lot of manpower and resources to buy patent licenses to complete the research and development of new drugs, purchase and debug the production line and prepare to launch the new drug, we suddenly find that there is a problem with the license... "
“This bastard.”
Chen Leyao was so angry that she gritted her teeth when she heard that, and her slender pink knuckles clenched into fists until they turned white.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, if she asked herself honestly, if her boss hadn't said it, she would have most likely fallen into the trap.
After all, she could carefully analyze project risks, verify the feasibility of Tonghe Pharmaceutical's new drug research and development, and the authenticity of the patent, but she would never go as far as to investigate and sort out the entire relationship network along the patent company.
While she was angry, she was also a little scared.
If she really plunges into the Tonghe Pharmaceutical project in this way, the entire Xinghai Venture Capital may be destroyed in her hands.
"Sister Le Yao, you don't have to think too much about things that haven't happened yet."
Xia Xu laughed and said, "It's just a licensing dispute. If we can solve the dispute, everything will be solved. This can actually be an excellent investment project."
"Boss, you already said it's a dispute. Is it that easy to resolve?"
Chen Leyao was stunned.
"For matters like this, it is naturally our legal director's turn to step in."
Xia Xu grinned.
Investing in Tonghe Pharmaceutical is actually a plot in the original story of "Super Brain". This is a project that Griffin Jones had taken a fancy to before he met Zhang San. It was also his first formal investment project after establishing Tianshen Investment.
But the plot always has to have some ups and downs, and also give others some space to show their presence.
The big scam of Tonghe Pharmaceutical not only deceived Griffin Jones at the beginning, but also Chen Leyao and several investment elites in the investment department who were recruited by him in the original plot failed to detect the problem.
At this point, the plot has entered a depressing stage, and the protagonist Griffin Jones is in trouble.
And the key to the final turnaround in adversity was naturally Zhang San.
The time point in the original plot should be a while later. Zhang San has agreed to officially join Tianshen Investment, but he took a few days off because of his son's wedding.
The days when Zhang San was on vacation were also the time when Tonghe Pharmaceutical collapsed. Griffin Jones worked hard to raise funds and finally acquired a stake in Tonghe Pharmaceutical and promoted the research and development of new drugs to market. As a result, he fell into trouble because of a patent dispute.
When things seemed hopeless, Zhang San came back to work like a god. After learning the whole story, he easily won the lawsuit, which eventually led to the successful launch of the new drug and a surge in the market value of Tonghe Pharmaceutical.
However, because of his participation, almost all of Tianshen Investment's core team members were poached by Xinghai Venture Capital, and the entire plot has naturally become unrecognizable now.
It is obvious that Griffin Jones learned about the patent dispute in advance because of plot changes or a purposeful search out of a desire for revenge, which led to him approaching Star Ocean Venture Capital.
Otherwise, Xinghai Venture Capital would have already offended him, and given his character, it is impossible for him to come to them and ask for cooperation.
At this moment, he had the mentality of Long Aotian, who claimed himself to be the protagonist. He was not willing to suffer any loss at all. Even in the original plot, he would rather make less money and significantly slow down the progress without thinking of dragging other investment companies down with him. Now it was even more impossible for Xinghai Venture Capital.
"Sister Le Yao, please tell Zhang San to come over..."
Originally, Xia Xu was planning to participate in the Tonghe Pharmaceutical project. Now that the initiative has been started, he might as well give some instructions. He first instructed Chen Leyao to follow up on the matter, and then called Zhang San to ask him to make preparations in advance.
The advantage of being a leader is that you just have to talk and the people below have to run around.
After explaining everything, Xia Xu had nothing else to do here. He walked around the company a few times, greeted the eight people he had recruited before, and also met and got to know the other employees, and then walked straight out.
