Chapter 19 Poseidon Biopharmaceutical Company
The car didn't drive directly to the hotel, but went to buy clothes first. Xu Pingan bought two sets in a row, and went to the hotel after buying.

Degusson accompanied Xu Pingan to go through the formalities in the hotel lobby. It turned out to be a suite, more than 1000 euros a night. He was really rich. After Xu Pingan received the number plate, the two entered the elevator and went upstairs together.

After entering the room, Xu Pingan put away his luggage and said directly, "Degusson, I don't know how to make coffee, but only tea. Are you used to it?"

"Of course, when I was studying in the UK, I drank tea basically every day," Degusson said with a smile. This is not a lie. Degusson usually likes to drink tea.

Xu Pingan nodded and began to boil water. After a short time, the water boiled and made a pot of tea, and then two cups were served. The two chatted while drinking. Xu Pingan mainly asked and De Gusong answered.

"According to what you said, the Icelandic government now welcomes foreign investment," Xu Pingan said after listening to De Gusson's introduction.

"Yes, the financial crisis two years ago did a lot of damage to Iceland, and the current economy is in great need of stimulus, and the best thing is foreign investment," De Gusson said, taking a sip of tea.

"De Gusson, can you tell me about the economic structure of Iceland?" Xu Ping'an asked.

"Happy to oblige," Deguzon said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, Iceland has a small population. The main source of income is fishing, followed by high-energy-consuming industries such as fishery product processing and aluminum smelting. Other industries are not developing very well at present."

"Before the financial crisis, the tourism industry was growing year by year. Since the outbreak of the financial crisis in 08, the tourism industry has suffered a huge blow. The number of tourists received in the first half of this year is only one-fifth of what it was two years ago."

"Correspondingly, the fish processing and refining industries have also suffered a huge blow. The global economy has been devastated by the financial turmoil. The decline in consumption is inevitable, and Iceland is no exception."

"Many companies are struggling. The cosmetics industry, clothing industry, catering industry, hotel industry, etc., have all laid off workers. Without sales, there is no capital to maintain so many workers."

"At present, the effect of layoffs is not good, and the economy has not improved much. We can only rely on time to heal the scars."

"The ruling party is in urgent need of foreign investment. With investment, it can lead to employment. The government has introduced many preferential policies, and the strength is not small. If Mr. Xu invests now, it is a good opportunity. As long as it lasts for two years, It will definitely bring a lot of rewards," De Gusson explained seriously.

Xu Pingan nodded earnestly. Degusson's opinion is similar to his own. As long as he can survive the current stage, everything will be fine. Using the darkness before dawn to explain the current situation fits very well.

Drinking tea, the two talked for three to four 10 minutes. The patience shown by Degusson really impressed Xu Pingan. Many of the things he asked needed to be charged separately. As a result, Degusson gave himself a detailed explanation up.

This intention is very good. If you give something practical, it is a bit unreasonable.

"De Gusong, do you know anything about Poseidon Biopharmaceutical Company?" Xu Pingan asked while shaking his teacup.

"Mr. Xu, if you are asking about other companies, I still need to conduct some investigations. I know Seashen Bio-Pharmaceutical very well, because my cousin works in this company." Degusong said with a smile.

"Oh, what a coincidence, can you tell me about the current situation of this company?" Xu Pingan said with a smile.

"certainly"

"The operating conditions of Haishen Biopharmaceutical Company are currently very bad. In March this year, Europe and the United States raised the standards for dietary supplement manufacturers and gave a one-year preparation time. If the requirements cannot be met by March next year , shall not be sold in the European Union"

"Poseidon's production equipment has not been updated for 20 years, and it is seriously aging. If you want to meet the standards stipulated by Europe and the United States, at least you need to invest more than 300 million euros in equipment replacement"

"Helaben, the boss of Poseidon Pharmaceuticals, is unwilling to pay this fee, because this time the financial crisis has caused heavy losses, and the company is now at a standstill, with only about 20 people working at work."

"Moreover, the company's previously stockpiled raw materials are running out, and Helaben's request for a government-supported loan was not approved, because now the market situation is clear, and the government does not want its investment to go to waste."

"Helaben has plans to sell the company now, but Helaben's asking price is not low, and there has been no deal." Degusson introduced the situation he knew to Xu Pingan one by one.

"I remember that Poseidon Biomedical Company has a laboratory that has passed the EU's seriousness, is it still in operation?" Xu Ping'an asked.

De Gusong smiled, and was 100% sure that Xu Ping'an had taken a fancy to Poseidon Biomedical Company. The company's greatest value at present is the Jane Laboratory. The production equipment is worthless, and the manufacturers of such outdated equipment have closed down.

"It's still running, but there are only five researchers left. This is the result of their general manager Kyle's strong request. For this laboratory, Kyle did not hesitate to quarrel with Heraben three times. Otherwise, the laboratory Already sold out”

"Mr. Xu, if you want to acquire Poseidon Biopharmaceutical Company, their general manager, Kyle, must stay. Seriously, if it wasn't for Kyle's existence, Poseidon would have closed down a long time ago." De Gusong said seriously, obviously Kyle, the general manager of Poseidon Pharmaceutical and Biological Company, is very appreciative.

"De Gusong, Kyle is just a manager. Why don't you leave the company at its current stage?" Xu Ping'an asked.

Xu Ping'an is really curious about this point. If Kyle is really as good as De Gusson said, it will be no problem to find a suitable next home. However, this Kyle is still in the company and insists on not leaving. This is very abnormal. .

"Mr. Xu, many people know the reason why Kyle stayed in Poseidon. In order to repay his kindness, Kyle is an orphan. It was Helaben who sponsored Kyle to go to school until he graduated from college. Without Helaben's support for so many years, it would definitely not be possible. There will be Kyle now"

"After graduating from Kyle University, he went to work for Poseidon in Helaben. He started as a basic salesman and became the general manager of Poseidon five years later. A company at the top level, and definitely a big company in the European region.”

"Heraben is not a bad person, and he has done a lot of charity, but there is a problem that everyone can't bear. He is too stingy. Since ten years ago, Kyle and Helaben proposed to completely update the production equipment. and experimental equipment, increasing researchers"

"In the end, they were all rejected by Helaben, thinking that there was no need to be so involved, and kept perfunctory. Every year, they would quarrel with Kyle several times because of this kind of thing. Basically, the employees of Sea God know this." De Gusong explained, and Xu Ping'an nodded.
