Back at the hotel, Elena's face didn't look good.
A bad start.
I thought that Marching Ant Company would change its strategy and show its desire for external cooperation, but unexpectedly, it still failed to make any progress.
If it were in other countries, they could use force and other means to force the Marching Ant Company to compromise. They have done this repeatedly, but this is China. The Chinese government's protection of its own country's market is unimaginably strict. No consortium dares to mess around in China, otherwise it will suffer.
After thinking about it, Elena dialed a number.
The Army Ant Company refused to cooperate, and she had no better solution now.
"Elena, call me back so soon. Has Army Ant Company agreed to cooperate?" When the call was connected, a deep female voice came.
"Laurie, Army Ant Company rejects our idea of cooperation." Elena said with some reluctance.
She was ruthlessly rejected by Zhao Min without even telling her the price. Countless pharmaceutical companies want to jump on their boat, but some people don't buy their account.
"Refused?"
On the other side of the ocean, in the office of Pfizer's headquarters, Laurie frowned and kept tapping her fingers on the table.
She is the executive vice president of Pfizer, responsible for the company's strategy, investment and commercial operations department. She was responsible for the contact with the army ants this time, and Elena was sent to take the lead.
Now rejected.
Army Ant Company is well-known in the financial world for its bad temper.
"What should I do now?" Elena asked: "Zhao Min's attitude is very firm. She rejected me without even stating the conditions for cooperation."
"It seems that the Army Ant Company really doesn't want to cooperate with us." Laurie said.
"Why are they so reluctant to cooperate with us?"
Elena was a little unwilling. Every Chinese person she came into contact with in the past had a smile on her face and was polite. As long as she is given a little benefit, she will be so excited that she can't find any limits and can't wait to give her up.
She thought she knew the Chinese people better, so Laurie sent her here. When she came this time, she was rejected unceremoniously, and Zhao Min didn't even look at her.
"There is something wrong between the company's shareholders and Army Ant Company. It is normal for Army Ant to refuse to cooperate with us." Laurie said in a deep voice.
The financial circle is only that big, and as the executive vice president in charge of investment and commercial operations of the company, she still has some understanding of these things.
Why can't Huawei enter the US market despite all its efforts? A big part of it is touching some people's interests.
Now there is another Army Ant Company, and the most important thing is that Army Ant Company is a sole proprietorship, and the equity is controlled by Chen Mo.
With such a big piece of fat, it is impossible for Wall Street bosses who are crazy about profits to remain indifferent, just like they did when they broke up Microsoft and Mobil Oil.
If they were in the United States or other places, those Wall Street bosses could use many means to achieve their goals. Unfortunately, it was China, and with the protection of Chinese officials, no one could touch them.
It is no secret that American consortiums are eyeing the Chinese market.
Some predators even go so far as to influence high-level government officials and impose economic sanctions or other forms of pressure to achieve their goals.
This method has been tried repeatedly by American consortiums and bankers in Europe, island countries and other places. After taking control of the market, they will shear off the sheep whenever they are disobedient.
However, the gains in the Huaxia market are minimal, because the Huaxia market is supervised by the government and not private consortiums. Therefore, for a company as big as Army Ant, staying in China and having official protection, they have no way to deal with it.
"What should we do now?" Elena asked.
"What should I do?" Laurie fell into deep thought. This is a big problem. This is China. They don't dare to mess around there, and they can't have much impact on the Army Ant Company: "You stay there first and wait for my news. .”
After hanging up the phone, Laurie's eyes flashed and she didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, she picked up the phone and made a call.
"Ian, Elena has sent back the news." When the call was connected, Laurie spoke directly.
"Oh? Has Army Ant agreed to transfer its shares?" The other end of the phone looked a bit expectant. This voice was that of Pfizer CEO Ian Read.
"They refused, very simply. Elena didn't even tell the conditions, so they refused." Laurie told Ian directly about the situation that Elena said.
"Rejected? Then there is no need to continue talking. Let Elena come back and carry out the second plan."
"Ian, have those drugs been analyzed?"
"We have received news from the laboratory that the analysis of drug components has been successful. We are now combining the components of our drugs to imitate new drugs. I believe that similar drugs will be imitated soon." Ian's voice was a little happy.
Viagra's patent has expired and is now being copied by major pharmaceutical companies, especially Chinese pharmaceutical companies, whose sales of Viagra have also declined year by year.
Although Pfizer no longer uses Viagra to support it, Viagra's income is still very considerable, and it is one of the company's very important drugs.
Now Haixing Company has released Haizhiwei, which has no side effects, and a breast enlargement drug.
He saw the shadow of Pfizer's rise back then, and it would be best to cooperate with or take a stake in Haixing Company. Even if they can't take shares, they can also imitate it and combine it with their own research and development to launch new drugs.
"That's great." A smile appeared on Laurie's face: "I will arrange the second plan now."
…
"Report from an authoritative organization: Sea Royal will increase the chance of breast cancer." 》
"Ocean Royal will increase the incidence of breast cancer." 》
"Authoritative news: Repeated use of Haizhiwei may increase the probability of kidney stones. 》
Seemingly overnight, foreign social networks and major media were flooded with various reports about Sea Control, all of which were discredited, leaving many people with a different taste.
Haizhiyu has been quite popular during this period. Originally, many of the reports about Haixing Company were positive, because 'Yujie' has been out for more than a month, and the effect is indeed obvious.
Although there is some noise, it can be ignored. Now that there are so many negative reports about Haixing Company suddenly appearing, there is some article in it.
When the news spread back to China, it still stirred up waves. Many domestic trolls began to take the lead, threatening to ask Haixing Company to recall the drugs and compensate for the losses.
Zhao Min was sitting in the office drinking tea and browsing the latest news.
Regarding Hai Zhiyu's remarks about love, she had already noticed it as soon as it came out.
These messages under the guise of authoritative organizations are undoubtedly slanders. The messages do not even dare to say which agency authenticated it, and the various statements are also vague.
The origin of the news is overseas.
These messages can deceive ordinary consumers, but if three people become a tiger, they can randomly find a breast cancer patient to use it, and then detect breast cancer. This old routine will indeed make ordinary people feel that "Yu Jie" is unsafe.
It is mediocre not to be envied by others.
Compared with the pressure of public opinion faced by Army Ant Company in the past, this kind of criticism today is nothing more than drizzle.
It's just the instigator, but it's quite intriguing.
While Zhao Min was watching the news, Xiao Yu opened the door and walked in: "Sister Zhao, we have news from the Ministry of Infrastructure that the first production line of holographic projectors has been completed and can be put into production at any time."
