Chapter 46 Scientific Research Business Talent Dollar Bills
Is it a lot to invest several hundred million in a scientific research project?
There are really not many, especially in biotechnology. Every technological breakthrough is made with money.
Take pharmaceutical companies as an example. Statistics from Federal Pharmaceuticals Corporation show that:
To successfully develop a drug, the actual cost spent by pharmaceutical companies is US$1.395 billion.
Calculated based on a nominal interest rate (capital cost) of 12-14%, making up for capital time and opportunity costs, the cost of developing a new drug is US$2.558 billion.
Although the investment in this gene recombination technology project led by Professor Connors is not that high, it has so far cost the Osborne Group nearly 400 million US dollars.
Four hundred million U.S. dollars doesn’t seem like much compared to Osborne Group’s market capitalization of hundreds of billions.
But don’t forget, this is one of more than a dozen biological experimental projects led by Norman Osborne.
Although Osborne Group is a listed company with a market value of hundreds of billions, it has shareholders and a board of directors.
They won't watch Norman Osborne waste money without seeing a return.
The shares held by Norman Osborne were not enough to compete with all the directors on the board of directors, and many things had to be compromised.
So when he heard that Tang and Song Dynasties planned to invest 500 million to undertake genetic recombination experiments, he hesitated!
Based on Professor Connors' current experimental progress, at least another US$400 million will be invested to complete this project.
And the premise of all this is that Connors can overcome the technical barriers to genetic recombination.
Now Tang and Song are willing to spend 500 million US dollars to acquire this project. If Norman Osborne agrees, Osborne will not only recover the cost of this project, but also make a slight surplus.
However, this project is related to the treatment of his own transcription gene virus, which is why Norman Osborn hesitates.
Towards evening, Norman Osborne asked the butler to prepare a sumptuous dinner.
On the long oak table, there is a dazzling display of all kinds of delicacies.
Perfectly fried Australian veal steak, thinly sliced Libyan ham on a silver plate, French baked snails...
Norman Osborne used the silver knife and fork in his hand to cut the veal steak in front of him, and seemed to raise his head and ask inadvertently.
"Don, are you familiar with Mr. Moon of the Republican Party?"
Tang Song glanced at Norman Osborne, reached out and grabbed a lemon,
He tore it open and squeezed a few drops of juice into the pure water in front of him.
"It was just a casual relationship, but after being introduced by an acquaintance, I helped make some efforts in this New York election."
Tang Song took a sip of water with lemon and complimented Norman Osborne:
"Speaking of which, among the real upper class circles in New York, Mr. Norman is the one who has the most extensive connections."
With a wide range of friends, Norman Osborne smiled and sighed deeply in his heart.
…………
"Mr. Norman, I hope my proposal will be considered for a while!"
After the dinner, Norman Osborne sent Tang Song to the door of the villa.
The two shook hands, and the driver on the side opened the car door. Before Tang Songlin got in the car, he did not forget to say something to Norman Osborne.
Norman Osborne smiled: "If this project is really transferred, I will give priority to Mr. Tang!"
The Rolls-Royce drove away slowly. In front of the Osborne Villa, Norman Osborne pulled out the red thread from his neck. At the end of the red thread was an emerald-carved "Nothing" plaque. This was a gift prepared by the Tang and Song Dynasties.
The back seat of a Rolls-Royce.
Skye was nestled in Tang Song's arms, holding a tablet in her hand and watching a soap opera with headphones on.
Today she played golf at Osborne Manor and rode a horse for a long time. Now she is too lazy to move.
Tang Song lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"I'll teach you something later!"
Skye huddled in Tang Song's arms and softly said "hmm", as lazily as a kitten.
"The Hehuan Sect's "Great Yin and Yang Hehuan Fu" is more effective, but the Maiden Sect's "Plain Girl's Heart Sutra" is more suitable!..."
Tang Song held Skye in his arms, twirling a string of jade beads in his left hand and thinking about it in his mind.
At this moment, two mountain bikes passed by, and the riders were two white kids who looked like high school students.
One of the high school students, Tang Song, had seen a photo of him and Norman Osborne in the Osborne Manor.
Harry Osborne, Tang Song looked at the other boy who had some baby fat.
"Peter Parker, Spider-Man?"
Tang Song's eyes suddenly shone, which was why he had the confidence to take over Professor Connors' project.
A very important factor lies in this spider boy.
A boy was bitten by a spider and transformed into the superhero Spider-Man.
A very federal fairy tale.
But no one tells you that this boy’s parents are top Ph.D.s in biology.
They also worked for the Osborne Group and were close friends with Norman Osborne.
Norman Osborne provided huge sums of money for them to conduct experimental research.
But what Norman Osborne didn't know was that his two best friends had a hidden identity.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
In order to protect the so-called world security, when the experiment was successful, the two men destroyed all the experimental data and disappeared without a trace.
But their child, after being bitten by a mutated spider from the Osborn Group, acquired extraordinary powers.
It was obvious that the couple had manipulated the boy's genes, just as Superman's parents hid the treasure of life within his body.
Tang Song looked at the laughing boy passing by on a bicycle, and his bracelet was spinning rapidly.
Perhaps, we should donate some money to the school committee of Zhongcheng High School and give these children a free physical examination.
Looking at the departing figure of Peter Parker in the car window, Mr. Tang turned his head.
……………………
When Tang Song returned to the manor, a business negotiation was gradually coming to an end in the conference room on the top floor of the Hammer Building.
Justin Hammer, wearing carbon fiber glasses, a white shirt and a black vest, stood up and shook Ryan's hand.
"Then, happy cooperation!"
Ryan closed the signed contract, put it in his stationery bag, and handed it to the lawyer beside him.
"The deposit will be credited to your company's account within seven days. We believe in the speed of Hammer Industrial and hope not to disappoint us!"
Ryan said to Justin without a smile.
Seeing the secretary sending several people out of the conference room, Justin Hammer's smiling expression suddenly dropped.
As the federal arms company second only to Stark Industries, although Hammer Industries is a bit weak in high-precision weapons, its strength cannot be underestimated.
Justin Hammer has long heard about the Italian army's uniform change, and now it seems that this piece of fat has already been eaten in advance.
Justin Hammer punched the conference table in front of him hard, but then he thought about it and suddenly laughed.
Although he couldn't get it, he still did it for OEM processing. If he remembered correctly, it was for Italy's arms bidding.
Obadiah once released the news that Stark Industries is bound to win this arms bidding.
Justin Hammer touched the contract he had just signed on the table, and suddenly wanted to see Obadiah's face after losing the bid.
It's a pity that Tony Stark has never been interested in the company's operations, otherwise he would have had the opportunity to see his old classmate going into a rage.
Justin Hammer imagined Tony Stark's angry appearance in his mind, and he actually hummed a tune happily.
His nervous performance made the blond secretary beside him quietly move back.
……………
The bedroom in the manor has a big, soft bed, big enough for three or four people to roll around on.
Skye snuggled into Tang Song's arms and stretched out her fingers to draw circles on his chest.
Tang Song was smoking a cigar afterwards and groping Skye's body with dishonest hands.
"Do you remember the exercise route I taught you? According to what I taught you, run that warm air current for thirty-six days every day, that is, thirty-six circles..."
Skye's face flushed, "Boss, I have a bad memory, otherwise we would practice like this every day and you would teach me in bed!"
Tang Song stretched out his fingers and scratched her nose, and was about to get on his horse.
On the bedside, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Tang Song picked it up and looked at the caller ID. It was Kane's call, and he picked it up.
"Boss, we have negotiated with Hammer Industries. We need to prepare a deposit of 300 million in seven days!"
In the Tang and Song Dynasties, people were blowing smoke rings, holding a phone in one hand, and playing with green bamboo shoots in the other.
"After asking the finance department to prepare the money in advance, prepare another 50 million, transfer it to the account in Italy, and prepare some meeting gifts for our generals!"
"Okay boss, I'll make arrangements right away!"
………
"Let's get ready later. In a few days, accompany me to Italy!"
Skye put his arms around Tang Song, rubbed his face against his chest, and said in a lazy voice:
"Boss, do you really want to do the arms business?!"
As the half-private secretary of Tang and Song Dynasties, Skye did not hide many things from her.
She naturally knows what kind of business her boss is doing.
However, during the day, I was still discussing a US$500 million business with the president of Osborne Group, and at night, I was engaged in this kind of cross-border arms purchase.
Even though Skye has been a super hacker for a long time, he has seen many big scenes.
But the business done by Tang and Song still left her stunned.
"Boss, Italy has its own arms company, why are they still bidding outside?"
Does Italy have a strong military strength? You must know that although it was a defeated country in World War II, its annual military expenditure is as high as 32 billion US dollars, ranking 11th in the world.
Italy's military industry is developing very well. The army has self-developed tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armed helicopters.
The Navy has self-developed aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships.
The sophistication of the Italian army's weapons and equipment is already outstanding in Europe, which is constantly reducing its armaments.
Why does Italy, which has such an industrial level, choose foreign companies to bid for this year's arms replacement season?
The explanation given by the Ministry of National Defense is to prevent domestic corruption.
"Of course it's because there's a lot of room for maneuver! Otherwise, what would we eat?"
Tang Song smiled and patted Skye's erection, stood up and went to the study.
The study room is extremely elegantly decorated, with all kinds of books lined up on the sandalwood bookshelves.
In front of the desk, there was an open notebook. Tang Song took a pen and wrote several names in the notebook.
Hammer Industries, Stark Industries...
Tang Song took a pen and drew a circle on the names Hammer Industries and Osborne Group.
……………
In the early morning, after a night of rest, Tang Song got up in high spirits,
I moved my body a little and made a few postures, which made my bones and joints make a few crisp sounds.
"Boss, we brought him back!"
A large underground supermarket in New York.
The supermarket was renovated from an abandoned Cold War air raid shelter. After the end of World War II, the Federation and Mao Xiong encountered multiple gunfire incidents, which almost turned into a nuclear war.
To this end, both sides have built a large number of air raid shelters and nuclear bunkers.
With the disintegration of the Woolly Bears, many federal air raid shelters were abandoned.
Some air-raid shelters were leased by the government to some businessmen and were gradually transformed into supermarkets and bars.
This is how this supermarket was rented. The price is cheap, the area is large, and most importantly, there is a hidden space on the second basement floor of the supermarket.
In an underground space the size of several football fields, a dozen big men are undergoing physical training.
In a corner of the underground air-raid shelter, there are countless old contact books and file bags, weighing dozens of tons. The raw materials of these contact books are all acid-free paper.
Acid-free paper is the basic material for making U.S. banknotes and the most basic anti-counterfeiting mark.
Next to the address book are barrels of color-changing ink. The numbers on the security codes on U.S. dollar bills can change color by changing the angle of the paper because of the use of color-changing ink.
Gravure printing machines, electronic boards, acid-free paper, and color-changing inks are all essential to making super dollar bills.
"Mr. Tang!"
Li Wen's demeanor was a little reserved, and his wrinkled suit made him feel a little more downcast.
Being under the eaves, even a famous painter can't help but feel a little depressed.
Tang and Song Dynasties have always been generous with talents, especially those who can create benefits for themselves.
Kane next to him handed over a cigar. Tang Song trimmed it and handed it to Li Wen.
"Don't worry, I have already settled your and Miss Wu's new identities in the Federation when you landed in New York. In addition, I have deposited another 20 million US dollars in your account. After these super US dollar bills are printed, I will deposit them to you.
In the account!”
Tang Song smoked a cigar and puffed away, "But the wind outside is tight now, you need to suffer here for a few days first!"
"No problem, I will print these super dollar bills as soon as possible!"
Li Wen took the lighter from Kane and lit the cigar.
"The acid-free paper here is enough to print 70 billion super US dollars. The circulation of this money into the market is enough to cause a financial shock in half of the federation. The FBI and the Federal Bureau of Economic Investigation will definitely take action to trace the source of these super US dollars!"
Li Wen smoked a cigar and looked at Tang Song:
"I have some old customers who are wholesalers and they are very strict!"
"I'll give you another ten million US dollars!" Tang Song looked at Li Wen calmly, with a cold look in his eyes.
"Thirty million US dollars is enough to allow you and Ms. Wu to achieve financial freedom anywhere in the world."
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed deep in Li Wen's eyes. 70 billion super US dollars, even if wholesaled at one-tenth of the price, are still worth 7 billion US dollars.
30 million, do you think he is a beggar?!
"This is the list. In the past, our goods were supplied to some warlords in the Middle East and some international organizations!"
Although he was resentful, Li Wen knew very well that people had to bow their heads under the eaves. Without saying anything, he tore off a piece of lining from the inside of his wrinkled suit.
Tang and Song took it and took a look. There were some messy numbers on it.
"This is the Morse code I set," Li Wen translated the meaning of these numbers to Tang and Song.
Among the dozen or so buyer groups of the Ten Rings Gang, Tang and Song saw a familiar name.
Tang Song didn't say anything and handed the list to Kane on the side.
"Cooperate well with Mr. Li and hurry up to print these super US dollar bills!"
"Yes! Boss!"
Kane had a cold face and nodded to indicate he understood.
"To welcome you two, I have prepared a villa for you two in New York City. If you two need anything, you can tell Kane directly! Relax, it's just like at home here, you're welcome!"
