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

Saturday, April 9.

Lin Zitai came to Pioneer's Tokyo office as scheduled.

I met Bon John, the global president of Vanguard. According to the information, he is a Jew in his fifties, but he is very young and looks like he is in his early forties.

The Jews are a very powerful ethnic group. They account for less than 0.3% of the world's population, but control more than 60% of the world's wealth.

As the largest ethnic group in the world, the Han people account for 19% of the world's population and only hold 26% of the wealth.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see." Born John smiled broadly.

"Yeah, it should be almost five years ago."

This was not the first time that Lin Zitai and Bone John had met. They had met at the Shanghai Financial Summit a few years ago.

At that time, he was just a newbie in the industry, with a little money, but a low-key person and not qualified to talk to the other party.

At that time, Wang Sichao was still the national husband and Ma Yun was still the national father, and he had just become a little famous.

"Time flies. At that time, I thought you were very talented, but I was short of time and didn't have time to have a good conversation."

Bowen's eyes were complicated, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. It felt like everyone was carrying a sedan chair, but there was also a hint of regret.

At that time, he had heard that a very powerful financial genius had emerged from the Magic City of China, but he was used to seeing too many geniuses die midway, so he didn't take it to heart.

Rookies appear in the financial world almost every year, but players in the financial industry are, to put it bluntly, investors and speculators, and are essentially no different from gamblers.

Especially Lin Zitai's investment style at that time, he would always put all his wealth into the game. Once or twice, he would be lucky, but sooner or later he would be unlucky.

Facts have proved that Bo En's judgment was correct. Lin Zitai, like other geniuses, committed the sins of arrogance and greed, and eventually lost and lost everything.

It's just that people didn't expect that Lin Zitai could make a comeback from other tracks, and even develop into the most feared existence in the global pharmaceutical industry in a very short period of time.

"It's not too late."

Lin Zitai smiled brightly and chatted for more than ten minutes before gradually getting to the point: "I need your MSD shares."

Bone gradually faded his smile and nodded slightly: "I can give it to you, but what kind of bargaining chips can you bring?"

"Share Exchange."

Lin Zitai once again used the method of negotiation with Yasir.

Boen shook his head and laughed: "Is it Prince Group or Novartis? Both are fine, but we are not interested in betting contracts."

The implication is that he knew the content of the bet signed by Lin Zitai and the Saudi sovereign fund.

Boyn paused and continued: "We hold 10.9% of Merck's shares and can transfer it to you at a 4000% premium to the market value of US$10 billion, but I want to know where your confidence comes from?"

Whether it is the nine-valent vaccine undergoing Phase III clinical trials or the plan revealed at the financing promotion meeting.

As long as everything is done step by step and it takes 2-3 years, Merck will definitely be consumed by Novartis.

But Lin Zitai didn't have the patience, so he chose to take risks and even signed a one-year M&A gambling agreement.

Unlike Yasir, Boen was curious as to where Lin Zitai had the confidence to do this and what his plans were after the merger.

Lin Zitai looked as usual, calculating the gains and losses. After a while, he said: "We will develop a brain-computer project with Musk, so I don't want to be entangled in trivial matters in the pharmaceutical industry. I plan to acquire Merck and solve everything at once."

Born is not as easy to fool as Yasir, so he can only reveal some useful information and lay the foundation for subsequent support from the Jewish consortium.

Novartis Investment holds 33.4% of Merck's shares, which is only the first step in the merger and acquisition project. It is very difficult to integrate two international pharmaceutical giants.

In the European and American world, whether foreigners or locals want to carry out such a huge merger and acquisition plan, Jewish consortia are a natural danger that cannot be avoided.

Born frowned, not quite believing what Lin Zitai said: "Isn't it true that Musk's brain-computer project has never made progress?"

"Yes, but it will be different after we join."

Lin Zitai showed a confident smile on his face and regained the initiative: "Mr. Ye's knowledge in the field of neurons has far exceeded this era."

"The problems faced by Musk's R&D team are not problems at all in his view. They are currently overcoming them and making initial progress."

"Once the brain-computer interface project is successfully developed, we will work together to create a virtual world, and even hope to upload the human consciousness to achieve immortality..."

Lin Zitai has something serious going on. He hasn't talked to investors for a long time. In the past, he would invest if he wanted to, and get out if he didn't.

But I still know that in order to impress investors, I have to brag as big as possible, even if I brag to the sky, it won’t matter.

As long as the story is told well and the logic is self-supporting, investors will pay even if there is only a 0.001 in chance. Just like this year, Tesla's market value has increased from more than billion U.S. dollars at the beginning of the year to nearly billion U.S. dollars now, more than doubling.

It’s not because Musk is very good at telling stories. He is also involved in the Starlink project and space immigration. He has taken actions and achieved certain results.

So no matter how big the pie is, as long as there is a little positive feedback, the story can be told indefinitely.

Bone's eyes widened and his jaw almost dropped in shock. At the same time, he had new doubts: "Is brain-computer technology that mature?"

Lin Zitai said: "The virtual world is still being planned, but the brain-computer interface can already perfectly drive bionic hands and feet."

"Can you let me try it?"

Boen looked complicated and thought for a moment: "Mr. Lin, if it is true as you said, we will transfer Merck's shares to you at the original price, and we can also help you acquire Merck."

The virtual world is such a desirable word. In order to bring the virtual world to the world as soon as possible, they can even abandon MSD and accept Lin Zitai.

He also promised that the pharmaceutical alliance will not cause trouble for him again, nor will it deliberately suppress "Bioera".

In the future, Lin Zitai can develop whatever drugs he wants. The European and American markets are open to welcoming him to join.

Even though Lin Zitai is Chinese, they still allow him to have an equal dialogue at the poker table and participate in the formulation of industry rules.

The most stupid behavior of an excellent capital consortium is to suppress epoch-making new technologies.

If acquisition is not possible, then development must be assisted.

Even if you are ahead of your opponent, it is only temporary and you will eventually surpass them one day.

Even if they can't surpass the opponent's technology, they can still invade from the management level.

Lin Zitai pondered for a long time: "Tomorrow morning, Mr. Boen will ask you to go to the Magic City with me."

Vanguard can represent the Jewish consortium, and the Jewish consortium can represent Wall Street capital.

Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Roche, and Pioneer are all their top three shareholders, and they have the strength to overcome all objections.

"No problem." Bone nodded quickly.

After finishing the conversation in the evening and having a light meal, Lin Zitai returned to Zhao Xiaoyou's residence: "I will go back tomorrow morning."

Zhao Xiaoyou asked curiously: "Is the matter done?"

Lin Zitai lay on the sofa with his head on Zhao Xiaoyou's thigh: "It's done."

The bionic technology provided by Musk is very mature. Just inject an appropriate amount of drugs to enhance the activity of neurons.

Even ordinary people with no experience can skillfully control the brain-computer after using it for the first time, with only about 0.5 seconds of delay.

Zhao Xiaoyou was confused, stretched out her jade hand and stroked Lin Zitai's cheek: "Then why do you feel that you are not too interested?"

Lin Zitai was silent for a long time and said with a wry smile: "I think it's probably because of fear."

Zhao Xiaoyou was surprised: "You are not afraid of anything, but you still have something to be afraid of?"

Lin Zitai was silent.

His mood can only be understood by Oppenheimer, who invented the nuclear bomb.

Because he didn't know what kind of profound impact his next actions would have on the entire world.

Once brain-computer technology comes out, sooner or later someone will break the technology, and then it will be quickly updated and iterated.

Just like the Internet, it was born in the 1960s.

Perhaps even Crane Rock, the founder of the Internet, did not expect that after only half a century of development, it would become what it is today.

Lin Zitai really couldn't imagine what the world would look like fifty years later once this magic box was opened.

Perhaps the virtual world he boasted about, as well as cyber immortality and other related technologies will appear and be put into use.

If he had died then, he would not have been so melancholy. Fifty years later, Lin Zitai would most likely still be alive.

"Mr. Lin, it's not like you to be so pretentious."

Zhao Xiaoyou smiled brightly, leaned over and kissed her gently from forehead to chin. She lowered her voice and said a little more coquettishly than usual: "You said that there is nothing that a hearty battle cannot solve." (End of this chapter)
