Chapter 218 Negotiation failed, full of ridicule

Even though Li Zetian is a person who loves the fragrance and cherishes the jade, but Luohua is intentional and ruthless, Li Zetian cannot accept them, just like he cannot betray Yu Jingqiu.

At this moment, Li Zetian pretended not to know anything, and then found an excuse to leave.

"Maybe time will dilute everything!" Li Zetian comforted.

……

Hong Kong was extremely hot in August. Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu stayed in Hong Kong for more than two months in order to allow Xiao Youran to stay with her grandparents for a longer period of time to cultivate their relationship.

Li Zetian has not been idle during these two months, personally promoting and accelerating the development and construction of the Hong Kong branch and R&D center.

At the same time, he also gave speeches in universities in Hong Kong many times, calling on students to graduate and work in their own companies.

Hong Kong citizens and students are very fond of Li Zetian. Many students regard him as an idol. In addition, he comes to the school to give speeches. After graduation, students will naturally choose Li Zetian's company as their first choice.However, Hong Kong has a very high level of education, many universities are among the best in the world, and there are many talents. Their joining will undoubtedly strengthen Li Zetian's company.

Over the years of doing business, Li Zetian has realized what is the most important thing for 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 for a business.

As long as there are excellent talents, the company will develop, even if you are the shopkeeper, there is no problem.

If the talent is lost, 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 make the best use of things". In his company, the treatment of talents is often far higher than the average level of the same industry, and the company's happiness index is among the best!

On August 8th, Dongfang Yuqin suddenly called him an emergency call from the United States, and Li Zetian decided to return to the United States.

During the phone call, Dongfang Yuqin said that due to the acquisition of Johnson & Johnson by Lee's Pharmaceutical Company, Johnson & Johnson frequently appeared in front of the media. Since June, the turnover of Johnson & Johnson has increased significantly. Instead, it increased the purchase price and raised the price to $6 billion.

The expected value of Li Zetian's acquisition is between US$100 billion and US$120 billion.

After listening to what Dongfang Yuqin said, he couldn't help frowning. Now he has no intention of staying in Hong Kong.So that afternoon, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu returned to the United States with Xiao Youran.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, I returned to my villa in Beverly Hills.

Dongfang Yuqin was already waiting at home. When Li Zetian came home, she told Li Zetian the details of the negotiation.

……

The news of Li Zetian's return to the United States naturally spread to the United States quickly, and reached the ears of the Johnson & Johnson family in the United States.

A middle-aged man named Robert Wood Johnson said with a sneer on his face: "Hehe, the richest man in the Chinese finally couldn't sit still and flew back to the United States from Hong Kong. However, he came, but it was still useless! I want to spend 120 $[-] million acquisition of Johnson & Johnson, there is no way!"

Another man from the Johnson & Johnson family sneered: "The business model of Johnson & Johnson is stable and highly competitive. In the nearly 1897 years since 100, there has not been a year of loss.

After so many years of unrelenting efforts and innovation, Johnson & Johnson has become the world's most comprehensive and widely distributed health care product manufacturer and related service provider. It is currently the world's sixth largest consumer goods company and the world's most comprehensive Medical equipment company, the fifth largest pharmaceutical company in the world!

Chronos Li is too naive, how could we sell Johnson & Johnson to him, just to use his fame for publicity!No, Johnson & Johnson does not 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 create hype. They have no plans to sell the company at all!!! Even if we bid 180 billion US dollars, maybe they may increase the price!" Dongfang Yuqin Said angrily.

Li Zetian comforted: "Okay, Dongfang Yuqin, there is no need to get angry with them! I have other plans to suspend 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-up companies, although small, have the technology and talents we need! For example, Amgen, Amgen was founded by a group of scientists and venture capitalists. Founded in 1980. Dr. George B. Rathmann, formerly working for Abbott, was 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 has Great value! If successful, it will be amazing!!!”

Li Zetian paused and said, "Since the success of Genentech, biotechnology has begun to develop rapidly. Apart from Amgen, there are many biotechnology companies in the world! However, these companies are new start-up companies. It doesn’t need to spend much money! From now on, Lee’s Pharmaceutical Company will be renamed as Gene Technology Company! Without acquiring Johnson & Johnson, Gene Technology Company can become the greatest company in the world!!!”

"Mr. Li, is this going to fully enter the field of biotechnology?!" Dongfang Yuqin said with a half-open mouth in surprise.

Li Zetian nodded and said lightly, "That's right!"

"Okay, I see, I will give your order!" Dongfang Yuqin finished speaking and left the study.

"Wait," Li Zetian called to stop her.

"Mr. Li, do you have any orders?"

"After acquiring a number of biotechnology companies, Lee's Pharmaceutical Company will change its name to Gene Technology Company, so that it lives up to its name!!!"

"Ok!"

The reason why Li Zetian changed "Li's Pharmaceutical" to "Gene Technology" is to set a tone for the company on the one hand: this is a high-tech company focusing on research and development of biotechnology in the future; on the other hand, "Li's Pharmaceutical" This name has a strong personal color, which is not conducive to the development of the company. The company belongs to everyone and needs everyone to work together, not for the Li family!
……

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Lee's Pharmaceutical Company held a press conference, announcing that the acquisition negotiations 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 were not used to it and envied and hated Li Zetian couldn't help but sarcasm.

"Hehe, I thought Chronos Li was awesome, but it's actually not that great! He kept saying that he wanted to buy Johnson & Johnson, but in the end, hehe, he was slapped in the face! If you don't have the strength, don't speak out loud!!! "

"Chronos Li is so disappointing. I thought I could buy 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 a place where you are a Chinese, Chronos Li, you should go back to the backcountry of China honestly!!! This is the first time Waterloo, and there will be a second time, and a third time... ..."

There are so many people who gloat, and there are also many people who hate the rich. The failure of Li Zetian's acquisition of Johnson & Johnson this time gave them great satisfaction, as if they had defeated Li Zetian.

The media is also adding fuel to the flames, catering to public opinion, and wantonly belittling Li Zetian.

Li Zetian threw down the newspaper, endured it, and didn't have the same knowledge as them, thinking, if I fail again, I must be the richest man in the world now, not comparable to you idiots! ! !

PS: There is another update tonight.
