You are worth tens of billions before you come to the system?

Chapter 166 Novartis seeks cooperation
In the afternoon, Lin Zitai met Parks, a German-American in his forties who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania.

This university is chock-full of talented people. Chuanbao, Buffett, and Musk are all outstanding alumni of the school, including Su Jiayue.

"Mr. Parks, this is your first time in Shanghai. The Pujiang River is worth a visit. The night view is beautiful."

Lin Zitai smiled, like a competent tour guide, introducing the beautiful scenery and food of the Magic City.

The other party has traveled thousands of miles to come to China, so naturally he wants something. When facing someone who wants something, he has to put up his airs.

Lin Zitai was not in a hurry, but Parks was very anxious. He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin, I heard that a new slow-grain drug is about to be launched. Maybe we can cooperate."

Lin Zitai suppressed his smile and was not in a hurry to refuse: "Oh~ Mr. Parks, tell me your plan."

Parks said: “We can help new drugs pass European and American testing and promote Mojin to be launched in the United States.”

"What about the price?"

"Full agent for European and American markets."

Parks also knows that introducing Lin Zitai to the European and American markets now is tantamount to raising a tiger into trouble.

But the Novartis Group is about to be dismembered, and the so-called alliance of European and American pharmaceutical companies is simply unreliable.

They are unkind, and don’t blame Parks for being unjust.

So much money has been spent and so many people have been raised over the years, and the European and American Food and Drug Administrations have people they support from top to bottom.

Lin Zitai's choice to cooperate with them is far more reliable than choosing to cooperate with Aramco Group, because Aramco Group only relies on selling energy, and Mojin is just fast-moving drinks.

If they dare to reach out into the medical field, the pillar industry of the United States will definitely have their heads smashed.

Novartis is different. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

"Mojin has no plans to go public in the United States."

Lin Zitai was a little moved. He pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is very important. We need to discuss it carefully. I'm sorry, Mr. Parks, but I can't give you an answer right now."

Parks frowned, who didn't know that the Prince Group was Lin Zitai's one-word hall.

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly understood Lin Zitai's intention, and said goodbye: "Mr. Lin, I will be in Shanghai for the past three days, waiting for your reply."

The so-called discussion is nothing more than to delay time and see whether they have the strength to withstand the pressure of public opinion.

Because new slow-grain drugs have entered Europe and the United States, they have broken the pharmaceutical monopoly led by the West.

"Mr. Parks, walk slowly, Jiahao will give you a lift."

Lin Zitai had a smile on his face. It was easy to talk to smart people. They both knew what the other was thinking.

After seeing Parks off, Lin Zitai turned to tell Su Jiayue: "Let the news out about the cooperation with Novartis and see how the market reacts."

This time the focus is on public opinion in Europe and the United States, and whether Novartis can resist the pressure to cooperate with them. If it can, it will naturally be better to cooperate with them than with Aramco.

Although the big dogs in the Middle East have money, they only have money left. These days, getting out is about strength and connections.

It is said that China is an interpersonal society, but so are European and American countries.

It's just that they put the unspoken rules on the surface and turned some unreasonable and illegal behaviors into reasonable and legal behaviors.

For example, bribery is called political donation, and collusion between officials and businessmen is only a reasonable reward after being elected.

We are all human beings, and as long as we are human beings, we have selfish motives and desires. There is no such thing as a utopian society where the world is unified.

That afternoon, after Parks left, news spread that he visited Lin Zitai on behalf of the Novartis Group, along with rumors of cooperation between the two parties.

Domestic public opinion has received a mediocre response. Only a few family members of CML patients have paid attention to it and have begun to cooperate with Western pharmaceutical companies. This shows that the day when the new CML drug will be officially sold is not far away, and their wives, sons and daughters no longer need to apply for quotas in the Military General Hospital.

But when the news spread to Europe and the United States, it caused a joint boycott by the media, and there was an endless stream of denunciations. All kinds of big hats were placed on Novartis Pharmaceuticals, including human experimentation, harming the country and the people.

It seems that if Novartis cooperates with Prince Pharmaceuticals, it will be a treasonous criminal and an executioner who abets the evildoers.

American Capital is one company, and its medical monopoly is the most critical part of their global dominance, and no outsiders are allowed to get involved.

Led by Blackstone Fund, a group of Wall Street financial institutions held another emergency meeting.

Steve Schwarzman has become the target of public criticism. If he had not proposed to dismember Novartis, Parks would not have gone to China to cooperate with Lin Zitai.

Although they are all vested interests, someone must be responsible for what happened, and Steve, who made the original proposal, is the best candidate to take the blame.

Looking at everyone with their own thoughts, Steve looked gloomy and gave the order: "Snipe Novartis at all costs."

He will not admit his mistakes, because admitting would mean failure, and Wall Street will not sympathize with losers.

…………

That night, Lin Zitai gave himself a night off, left the laboratory, and came to Ye Xiyue's home.

After taking a shower, she put on her pajamas, hugged the fragrant Ye Xiya, and sat down on the sofa in two rows, waiting for the show to begin.The financial market has the most sensitive sense of smell. Whether Novartis can withstand the pressure, and whether the outside world is optimistic about whether Novartis can withstand the pressure, can be reflected through the stock price.

Ye Xiyue plays support and has been wandering around the jungle with Lin Zitai. Although both of them turned off their microphones, the shooter's speaker was always on. It can be seen that he must have a lot of opinions.

At the end of the game, Lin Zitai successfully led Ye Xiya into Xingyao: "I'm not going to play anymore, why not order takeout to eat."

"How about the crayfish?"

"It's too much trouble to peel the shells."

"Let me peel it off for you."

"That's fine."

In the blink of an eye, it’s nine o’clock in the evening. July is daylight saving time in the United States, and the U.S. stock market opens at 09:30.

Lin Zitai turned on the TV, switched to the financial mode, and entered Novartis' trading chart. Novartis Pharmaceuticals, which once had a market value of 2085 billion, now only has 623 billion US dollars left.

As you can see from tonight's pre-market trading, the market is divided and divided.

It jumped up and down, with an increase and decrease of 18 points, and neither the bulls nor the bears could do anything about the other.

A smile appeared on Lin Zitai's lips. Novartis's market value just fell, and there was no major investment mistake.

As a well-known multinational pharmaceutical company, the amount of funds reserved by the group must be a terrifying figure.

In tonight's battle, Novartis's real enemy is only Blackstone, the former group's major shareholder.

Lin Zitai clearly understands the ethics of Wall Street institutions, which can be summed up in four words: profit-seeking.

They will help whoever wins, and there is no distinction between camps.

The monopoly in the pharmaceutical field has been broken, but it does not prevent them from making immediate profits. Real capitalists have no national boundaries. They will suck flesh and blood like moths.

If the food is clean, move on to the next one.

"Open your mouth."

Ye Xiyue concentrated on peeling crayfish. After peeling one, she fed one to the other. She was worried that the oil would drip onto Lin Zitai's pajamas, so she used her palm to hold it.

If Liang Simin saw this scene, she would definitely poke her in the head and plausibly say that she has embarrassed all women.

But if you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?

Lin Zitai almost completely released his hands. He would only reach out when he was thirsty and wanted to drink some beer.

At 09:30 in the evening, US stocks officially opened.

The stock price jumped instantly, with an increase of +8.55%.

A large number of small orders were bought. Lin Zitai saw that the real main force did not enter the market, but speculators were betting.

Once upon a time, he was also a member of the speculators, and he knew very well that speculators must bet in advance and leave the market in advance.

Without financial support or inside information, if you wait until the market starts to move before jumping on the bus, you may become a taker.

At 45:[-], the short side entered the market, and a large number of chips appeared in the market, sweeping all the buy orders in the market.

No one took over, and the stock price turned from rising to falling, falling by 1 points in one minute.

Lin Zitai raised his brows, with a look of confusion on his face: "You're not going to enter the game yet? You're going to be strong in one go, then you'll be weak, and then you'll be exhausted."

It is not difficult for the main force to win this battle, because institutions direct and act on their own, resulting in a large number of trapped retail investors in the market.

According to the words of Big A experts, it has reached a diamond bottom. As long as someone launches a charge, a large number of retail investors will surely cover their positions.

Just be careful not to raise too much at once, allowing those trapped retail investors to take the opportunity to cash out and leave.

Almost a sure win.

"Open your mouth."

Just as Lin Zitai was thinking, Novartis Group announced that it would use US$100 billion to repurchase shares in the next month.

As soon as the announcement was made, the stock price rose sharply, directly breaking through the price of $30 and approaching the $40 mark.

The sell orders in the market were almost wiped out and replaced by a large number of buy orders.

Short sellers are avoiding it, and the stock price is rising.

"This should have been done a long time ago." Lin Zitai took one last look at the transaction details and exited the financial mode.

Parks' sincerity has been shown, and there is no point in looking at it anymore. Next, we just need to see how long they can persist.
