Even though Li Zetian is a person who loves fragrance and cherishes jade, but Luohua is intentional and ruthless, Li Zetian can't accept them, just as he can't betray Yu Jingqiu.
At this moment, Li Zetian pretended not to know anything, and then made an excuse to leave.
"Maybe time will dilute everything!" Li Zetian comforted.
…
Hong Kong was extremely hot in August. In order to let Xiao Youran and his grandparents stay for a while longer to cultivate their relationship, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu stayed in Hong Kong for more than two months.
In the past two months, Li Zetian has not been idle, and personally promoted and accelerated the development and construction of the Hong Kong branch and R&D center.
At the same time, he has given speeches at universities in Hong Kong many times, calling on students to go to work in their own companies after graduation.
Hong Kong citizens and students have a very good impression of Li Zetian. Many students regard him as an idol. In addition, he came to the school to give a speech. After graduation, students will naturally choose Li Zetian's company. Hong Kong's education level is extremely high, many universities are among the best in the world, and there are many talents. Their participation will undoubtedly strengthen Li Zetian's company.
After years of doing business, Li Zetian has come to understand what is the most important thing in an enterprise!
In the movie "A World Without Thieves", Ge You once said a very classic line: "What is the most expensive in the 21st century? Talent!"
Yes, this is the most important thing in business.
As long as there are excellent talents, the enterprise will develop, even if you are the boss of your own, there is no problem.
If the brain drains, then the company is not far from bankruptcy.
Li Zetian has been working hard to learn how to use talents reasonably, so as to "make the best use of talents and materials". In his company, the treatment of talents is often far higher than the average level of the same industry, and the corporate happiness index is among the best!
On August 15, Dongfang Yuqin suddenly called him from the United States with an emergency call, and Li Zetian decided to return to the United States.
During the phone call, Dongfang Yuqin said that since Li's Pharmaceutical Company was going to acquire Johnson & Johnson, Johnson & Johnson frequently appeared in front of the media and the public. Since June, Johnson & Johnson's turnover has increased significantly. Instead, it raised the purchase price and raised the price to $18 billion.
The expected value of Li Zetian's acquisition is between $10 billion and $12 billion.
After listening to what Dongfang Yuqin said, Li Zetian couldn't help frowning. He had no intention of staying in Hong Kong now. In the afternoon, he and Yu Jingqiu returned to the United States with Xiao Youran.
At more than 10 am the next day, I returned to the villa in Beverly Hills.
Dongfang Yuqin was already waiting at home. When Li Zetian returned home, she told Li Zetian the details of the negotiation.
…
The news of Li Zetian's return to the United States naturally quickly spread to the United States and to the ears of the Johnson & Johnson family in the United States.
A middle-aged man named Robert Wood Johnson said with a sneer: "Hehe, the richest man in China finally couldn't sit still and flew back to the United States from Hong Kong. However, when he came, it was still to no avail! I want to spend 120 The $100 million acquisition of Johnson & Johnson has no door!"
Another Johnson & Johnson family man sneered: "Johnson & Johnson has a stable business model and strong competitiveness. In its nearly 100-year history from 1897 to the present, there has not been a single year of loss.
After so many years of unremitting efforts and innovation, Johnson & Johnson has become the world's most comprehensive and widely distributed health care product manufacturer and related service provider, and is currently the world's sixth largest consumer goods company and the world's most comprehensive The world's fifth largest pharmaceutical company!
Chronos · Li is too naive, how could we sell Johnson & Johnson to him, just to use his fame to promote! No, Johnson & Johnson doesn't spend a penny on advertising, but let the global media advertise for us! "
"Ha ha!!!"
The Johnson & Johnson family laughed!
…
"Mr. Li, now it seems that Johnson & Johnson is obviously trying to use us to hype, and they have no plans to sell the company at all!!! Even if we bid 18 billion US dollars, maybe they may increase the price!" Dongfang Yuqin was angry said.
Li Zetian comforted: "Okay, Dongfang Yuqin, there is no need to be angry with them! I have other plans to interrupt this acquisition!"
"Mr. Li, what are you going to do?" Dongfang Yuqin asked.
Li Zetian said: "We don't buy big companies, we buy small companies. Some start-ups, although small in scale, have the technology and talents we need! For example, Amgen, which is founded by a group of scientists and venture capitalists Founded in 1980. Dr. George B. Rathmann, who was originally working at Abbott, is one of the founders of the company and served as the first chairman and CEO. So far, the company has no products on the market, but their research is very Valuable!!! Once successful, it will be amazing!!!”
Li Zetian paused and said, "Since the success of Genentech, biotechnology has begun to develop rapidly. In addition to Amgen, there are many biotechnology companies in the world! However, these companies are all start-ups, acquire them, and No need to spend a lot of money! From now on, Lee's Pharmaceuticals will be renamed Gene Technology! Without acquiring Johnson & Johnson, Gene Technology can still be the greatest company in the world!!!"
"Mr. Li, is this going to enter the field of biotechnology in an all-round way?!!" Dongfang Yuqin said in surprise.
Li Zetian nodded and said lightly, "That's right!"
"Okay, I see, I'll give your order now!" Dongfang Yuqin finished and left the study.
"Wait," Li Zetian stopped her.
"Mr. Li, do you have any other orders?"
"After acquiring a number of biotechnology companies, Lee's Pharmaceutical Company changed its name to Gene Technology Company, so that it lived up to its name!!!"
"OK!"
The reason why Li Zetian changed "Li's Pharma" to "Gene Technology" is to set a tone for the company on the one hand: this is a high-tech company that will focus on research and development of biotechnology in the future; on the other hand, "Li's Pharma" This name has a strong personal color, which is not conducive to the development of the company. The company belongs to everyone, and everyone needs to work together, not for the Li family!
…
At 9 a.m. the next day, Lee's Pharmaceuticals held a press conference announcing that the acquisition talks with Johnson & Johnson had failed.
As soon as the news came out, it shook the world!
People did not expect that billionaire Chronos Li also encountered Waterloo.
At this time, many people who couldn't stand it and were envious of Li Zetian couldn't help but sarcastically.
"Hehe, I thought Chronos Li was awesome, but it's not so good! He kept saying that he wanted to acquire Johnson & Johnson, but it turned out, hehe, you've been slapped in the face! If you don't have the strength, don't rant!!! "
"Chronos Li is so disappointing. I thought I would be able to acquire Johnson & Johnson. I was looking forward to it for a long time, but it turned out to be a coward!!!"
"This is the United States, not where you are a Chinese, Chronos Li, you should go back to the backcountry in China!!! This is the first Waterloo, and there will be a second, third... "
There are so many people who gloat at misfortune, and there are also many people who hate the rich. This time Li Zetian failed to acquire Johnson & Johnson, which gave them great satisfaction, as if they had defeated Li Zetian.
The media is also fueling the flames, pandering to public opinion, and wantonly belittling Li Zetian.
Li Zetian threw down the newspaper, endured it, didn't have the same knowledge as them, and thought to himself, if I fail again, I must be the richest man in the world now, not like you idiots! ! !
PS: There is one more update tonight.
