Beiyang 1917

On the morning of February 1917, 2, Manhattan Industrial Bank was officially registered and established in the morning. At one o'clock in the afternoon, two partners, Wang Geng and Vivian, appeared in front of Pfizer in the latest Cadillac 27 sedan.

When the handsome man and beautiful woman partner appeared in the meeting room of Pfizer, the directors and shareholders of Pfizer had mixed feelings. The two partners of Manhattan Industrial Bank were so young that old Anderson and Amy Pfizer, William Erhart had to wonder if he was really getting old.

Present in the conference room are still Pfizer's chief chemist James Curry and his assistant Jasper Kane, who, as Pfizer's technical backbone, will witness this historic moment.

Wang Geng introduced himself first with a smile,

"Pfizer colleagues, I am very happy to fight side by side with you in the future. You may already know that I am Chinese, and my name is Wang Geng. I am a partner and executive director of Manhattan Industrial Bank. The beautiful lady next to me is Vivian. , is my partner and general manager!"

The current chairman and shareholder of Pfizer, John Anderson, introduced the members of the board of directors to the future owner of Pfizer in turn, or to put it politely, the major shareholder.

"This is Amy, the president of Pfizer, and his father, Charles Pfizer, is the founder of Pfizer!"

"This is William, the vice president of Pfizer, whose father Charles Earhart is another founder of Pfizer"

"This is Dr. James Currie, the chief chemist of Pfizer. He is responsible for leading the new laboratory of Pfizer. Before coming to Pfizer, he was a food chemist in the government department."

"This young man is the doctor's chief assistant, Jasper Kane, and the doctor says he has a bright future!"

Wang Geng warmly shook hands with everyone, and his sincere attitude made people cry!

"Amy, I thank your father for creating Pfizer. He is a scientist and a successful industrialist I admire. Without him, there would be no glory! Of course, I should also thank you father and son for their broad minds, which made John useful in Pfizer. Land of martial arts!"

"William, I heard that you were a traitor to the Pfizer family at yesterday's board meeting? Haha, don't be nervous, I am here for peace, thank you and your father for everything you have done for Pfizer and John! You can play an important role in Pfizer role!"

"Dr. Curry, thank you for your support of my new technology and formula. In the next 20 years, Pfizer's laboratory will still be your world. I believe that the more leisure the directors are, the more outstanding the achievements of your laboratory will be! Oh Oh, don't worry, I will tell you everything about citric acid, and of course, I hope you can do better than me in scientific research!"

"Mr. Kane? Forget about citric acid. I have a more important and arduous task than citric acid for you and the doctor. Take it easy. We will talk about technology alone after the meeting."

Wang Geng's calm and unrestrained performance not only opened the eyes of several people in Pfizer, but Vivienne next to him was even more surprised. I thought Wang Geng was just a lucky and courageous young athlete. Acting really like a young and successful investment banker, the kind who understands technology and the world.

John Anderson laughed heartily. It was obvious that Wang Geng's performance was beyond expectations. He didn't have the kind of arrogance and arrogance that are often seen in young major shareholders, which made the whole Pfizer let go of its hanging in midair.

Although it will take some time for Amy Pfizer to accept the reality of Pfizer's acquisition in his heart, it is undeniable that the young man in front of him has the charm and magic of spring breeze and rain. The strength when shaking hands, firm but peaceful eyes, and decent conversation are almost Conquered the entire Pfizer meeting room in the first place.

When Charlieson, Jack Morgan's queen lawyer, rushed to the Pfizer meeting room with a group of assistants and documents, the entire Pfizer board of directors knew that the investors of Wang Geng's Manhattan Industrial Bank were the JP Morgan family. Of course, what surprised everyone was the Morgan family. The family only owns 49% of Manhattan Industrial Bank's shares, so is this young executive director really taking advantage of Morgan?

Pfizer's restructuring documents were quickly completed under the management of lawyers from both parties. Most of the afternoon in the Pfizer meeting room was spent signing various documents. It took more than an hour to sign all the documents.

Before leaving, Charlieson smiled and said to Wang Geng, "Jack said he would send the bill for the legal fee to Manhattan Industrial Bank as soon as possible! The fee for me and my team for the two hours today is 2000 US dollars!"

"No problem! Thank you Charlieson, go back and tell old Jack for me! I did three hours of strategic planning and analysis for him last night, and the cost was $20000. I just need to receive his bill for $2000 in legal fees , I'll just send him that $20000 consulting bill"

"Hey...well, you'd better talk to Jack himself about this matter, I won't get involved!" Charlieson was fled in a panic when Wang Geng's lion opened his mouth.

Wang Geng turned around and said to Vivian and the surprised Pfizer shareholders,

"Jack dares to be the first grader, and I dare to be the fifteenth grader. How can my contribution to Morgan be compared to Charlieson's two hours of legal fees?"

Vivian tugged at Wang Geng's sleeve, telling him not to brag, but John Anderson clapped his hands and said,

"Wang Geng, I am optimistic about you. There are absolutely not many people in the United States who dare to say no to the head of the Morgan family. You may be the second one."

"Who is the first one?" Vivian asked puzzled.

"Of course it's Mr. Anderson, the chairman of Pfizer. Jack said that Anderson, on behalf of Pfizer, has rejected no less than three requests from the Morgan consortium to buy shares in the past ten years!"

Wang Geng's compliment not only made old Anderson very comfortable, but Amy and William were also full of pride.

The next thing is to convene the board of directors of the new Pfizer. Although the time is short, Wang Geng has a lot of things to do, and the board of directors of the new Pfizer must be formed first before the next step can be carried out.

According to the shareholding ratio, the total assets of the new Pfizer after reorganization are 1720 million US dollars, of which Manhattan Industrial Bank holds 65% of the shares. director.

For the remaining 35% of the shares, John Anderson holds 8.75%, William Earhart holds 8.75%, and Amy Pfizer holds 17.5% on behalf of the Pfizer family. The theory of the new board members is these four major shareholders.

However, Wang Geng allocated 65% of the 14% shares held by Manhattan Industrial Bank as option shares to motivate the executive team according to his previous promise to Anderson. 14%, 9%, 2% and 1% four cakes.

The largest 9% cake is subdivided into three parts: 3% in the third year, 3% in the fifth year and 3% in the tenth year. It is awarded to John Anderson who has made outstanding contributions to Pfizer. That is to say, Anderson must at least It takes another ten years to lead the new Pfizer to get all 9% of the shares.

第二块2%的蛋糕，被王庚细分为第一年0.5%、第三年0.5%、第五年0.5%、第七年0.5%的比例授予首席化学家詹姆士.柯里博士。

第三块1%的蛋糕，则分为第一年0.25%、第三年0.25%、第五年0.25%、第七年0.25%的比例授予博士的助手贾斯帕·凯恩。

The last 2% of the cake is used to grant the company's employee shareholding association, and its dividends are shared by all ordinary employees and middle managers.

The 14% share option incentive plan fulfilled Wang Geng’s original promise. Not only did John Anderson, James Curry and Jasper Kane become the biggest beneficiaries, but all employees could also share a 2% share dividend.

Wang Geng, the savior of Pfizer who fell from the sky, or the conqueror of Pfizer, firmly controlled Pfizer in the hands of Manhattan Industrial Bank.
