Two hundred and forty-two - gambling agreement
In the end, Qian Wenhuan dispatched Anthony and Jennifer to lead a team of negotiators to Los Angeles in North America.
Anthony and Jennifer are both Swiss. They used to be employees of Preston Company, just like Qian Wenhuan. After Preston was acquired by Chen Chen, because one of them was a business negotiator and the other was a legal consultant. , so they were all sent to Africa.
In the beginning, the two were only attracted by the high salary of coming here. They wanted to resign directly after thinking of earning a few years, but they didn't expect that the development of Black Light Technology in Africa would be better, so the two stayed at ease.
After a group of people got off the plane from Los Angeles, after a night of rest, they rushed towards Osmond Biotechnology.
Jennifer, wearing a white-collar OL outfit, got off the rented business car, but couldn't help frowning.
This place is already close to the suburbs, and it looks extremely desolate, and the office building in front of it is even more dilapidated, with a history of at least fifteen years.
"Is this the office of Osmond Biotech?"
Jennifer shook his head, "This company doesn't look very good, I really don't know why the superiors want us to go to great lengths to acquire this company."
"Perhaps the new drug developed by this company has been favored by the higher-ups."
Anthony shrugged, "Okay, these are not what we should care about, and it seems that the other party doesn't want to welcome us, I think we'd better go in directly."
With that said, the two led the negotiating team into the office building.
"We are employees of the Blackwatch Company. I am Anthony from the Commerce Department, and this is Jennifer from the Legal Department. We want to see someone from the Osmond Company on the 23rd floor. We have an appointment."
Inside the office building, Anthony calmly answered the security guard's questioning.
"please wait for a moment."
The security guard picked up the phone and dialed the number of Osmond Company according to the address book.
After two minutes, the security guard put down the phone and said, "Okay, everyone, please go up. People from Osmond Company are waiting on the 23rd floor."
"Thanks."
Everyone got on the elevator one after another, and soon reached the 23rd floor.
The office building uses a door-to-door elevator, so as soon as they got out of the elevator, several people met the blonde girl waiting in front of the elevator.
The blond girl looked sexy and was dressed in a secretary outfit. After seeing everyone, she was not very enthusiastic. "A few of you are from Blackwatch Company, please follow me."
With that said, she turned around and walked towards the conference room first.
This attitude made everyone frown.
After leading everyone to the conference room, she only said "wait a moment" before leaving again, leaving everyone here.
"Something doesn't feel right."
Jennifer looked around and said, "This company is not enthusiastic about our arrival at all. Don't they know that we are here for financing?"
"The financing should be completed."
Anthony said thoughtfully, "We came too late."
While everyone was talking in low voices, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes pushed the door in, "Excuse me, everyone, I have a meeting to hold just now,
So ignore everyone. "
As he said that, he reached out his hand towards Anthony, "I am Parker, the founder of Osmond Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and I am also a member of the board of directors and CEO of the company."
Anthony and the others stood up slowly and stretched out their hands, "We are the business manager of Blackwatch Biotechnology Company, and Ms. Jennifer next to me is the manager of the legal department. Nice to meet you."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two parties sat down separately, and Parker said directly, "Blackwatch Company has become famous in the past two years. I don't know if the two of you are here this time. Is there any business that can cooperate with our company? "
"I heard that your company is conducting a B round of financing. I wonder if this is the case?"
Anthony asked, "After our understanding, your company's development has reached a stage of rapid growth. I don't know what your company's strategy is, but I think your company should need a strategic investment like our Blackwatch company. By."
As he said that, Anthony snapped his fingers, and the subordinates behind him immediately took out a contract and handed it to Anthony, and Anthony pushed the contract in front of Parker, "Mr. Parker, I won't introduce our Blackwatch Company in detail. I believe that as a similar company, you already know a lot, so you can take a look at this contract."
Parker nodded, took the contract and flipped through a few pages, and then said, "If you choose a strategic partner, Blackwatch is indeed a good choice, but it's a pity that our B-round financing goal has been achieved. The board of directors has also been settled, and I'm afraid I can't accept your company's kindness."
"Mr. Pike stop thinking about it?"
Anthony frowned, "After the B round of financing, your company should be ready to expand new business. I don't know what your company's development direction is. Maybe our company can provide some help after the cooperation."
Parker shook his head when he heard the words, "Our company's next direction will be announced soon, and the next step is to try to overcome Alzheimer's disease."
Speaking, Pike chuckled, "I know that Blackwatch also has a project called "Alzheimer's Disease Reversal Therapy", which can suppress the deterioration of Alzheimer's disease, but our purpose is different, we are It is hoped that this disease will be completely cured, not suppressed."
Anthony and Jennifer looked at each other, and there was a flash of surprise in their eyes. No wonder the other party didn't have a good attitude towards their own side. It turned out that the other party thought that they had received news from their side, and they came here this time to prevent Alzheimer's disease research only came here?
Anthony also thought a little deeper. The reason why the other party is so stubborn, doesn't it mean that the other party's hands are not as simple as a simple drug research and development plan, but that they should have achieved certain results!
Thinking of this, Anthony couldn't help shaking his head. Obviously, the upper management of the company already knew that the other party had the results for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, so they came to share a piece of the pie and sent themselves to invest, right?
But now it seems that his mission is about to fail.
So Anthony finally persuaded him according to the procedure. Seeing that the other party still refused, he stood up with regret on his face, "In this case, then we will not force it, and leave."
Jennifer on the side took out a business card and handed it to Parker, "If you change your mind or want to raise a C round of financing, you can consider our company."
"Okay, sure, everyone go slowly."
After sending Anthony and his party into the elevator, Parker's expression became completely gloomy after the elevator door was completely closed, "Damn it, do so many people know that we are developing AD-001? But how is this possible..."
...
"Yes, Mr. Qian, the other side rejected us..."
"The news we have found so far is that they seem to be preparing to develop a drug for Alzheimer's disease, and there is no response to the contract we have drafted."
"My, I see, I will go to the venture capital to have a look."
After leaving the company, Anthony called Qian Wenhuan and reported the situation, and then rushed to the venture capital companies that invested in Osmond Biotechnology.
There are a total of six venture capitalists investing in Osmond Biotechnology Company, all of which are venture capital institutions under various consortiums. These institutions together occupy 80% of Osmond's shares.
Among them, a company named "Master Capital" occupies 50% of Osmond's shares.
So, Anthony naturally went directly to Master Capital's company.
"Master Capital and Osmond Company have already signed a gambling agreement when they signed the contract."
In the car, Jennifer looked at the information on the computer and couldn't help frowning, "The terms of the agreement are: Master Capital will invest 1 billion US dollars in the Osmond Company and occupy 50% of the company's shares. However, if Osmond fails to develop a drug for Alzheimer's disease before December 31, 2025, Master Capital has the right to require Osmond to repurchase its own shares in cash, The purchase price is the principal plus 8% annual interest.”
Anthony's expression changed when he heard the words, "Is Osmond company crazy? Many of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies have fallen into the sand in the face of Alzheimer's disease. Isn't he doomed to lose by signing this gambling agreement?"
"unless……"
Anthony pondered for a while, then suddenly said, "Unless this company has already made some kind of breakthrough in Alzheimer's disease, that's why it's so sure!"
"If this is the case, I am afraid that the other party will not transfer the shares of Osmond Company at all."
Jennifer was worried, "After all, if a drug to treat Alzheimer's disease is really developed, it may even cause a revolution in medicine, and the sensation is second only to our company's announcement of the 'aging reversal treatment' project. "
"Yes, I will include speculation on this matter in the report."
Anthony looked stern. Since he is a member of Black Light Technology, he naturally understands the importance of this matter. Once this company really develops a drug for Alzheimer's disease, it will even make the "Alzheimer's disease" in Life Science City The "Mutism Reversal Therapy" project has become a pile of waste paper, and the impact on Black Light Technology is too great.
So the best way to stop losses is to acquire this company and make this drug a product of your own company.
Of course, it's not just Anthony who thinks this way, presumably that's the case with Master Capital and even various venture capitals.
With such a heavy heart, Anthony and his group went to the building of Master Capital again, but this time, Anthony and his party did not even see the principal of Master Capital, only the manager of a branch .
And the other party didn't have the slightest interest in Anthony's proposal, and just maintained superficial etiquette.
Seeing this, Anthony naturally knew the other party's attitude, so he told the other party that he would come back another day, then turned and left.
"There is also an investor named Clifford, who is the second largest shareholder of the Osmond Company and a partner of Parker at the same time."
Jennifer continued to look at the information, still making the final effort, "It shows that Clifford invested 3 million US dollars at the earliest stage, occupying 40% of Osmond's shares, after the angel round and AB After two rounds of dilution, there are still 7% left, although it is not much, but if we can win it, it can be regarded as an explanation for the company.”
"Let me take a look."
Anthony stepped forward and looked at a rich man on the computer, "Very well, let's go find him now."
According to the information provided by Black Light Technology, Anthony and Jennifer soon found Clifford's home, but found that the other party was about to go out.
This is an old man over sixty years old with gray beard and hair.
"Are you from Blackwatch?"
Hearing Anthony's self-reported family name, this Clifford's eyes lit up, and he said enthusiastically, "I have known you for a long time, I just made up my mind to go to Life Science City at the beginning of next year, I didn't expect to see you here Everyone."
"Then do you have time to sit down with us and discuss the issue of Osmond's equity?" Jennifer said hastily, "It won't take you a long time."
Hearing this, Clifford looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I'm just about to attend a friend's appreciation party, how about this, you come with me, we can talk in detail at the dance."
"Is this okay?" Anthony felt a little inappropriate.
"There is nothing inappropriate. The other party is a very warm and hospitable gentleman. People often come here uninvited. As long as I introduce you, your arrival will not cause any trouble to the host..."
With that said, Clifford invited the two of them to get into his car together, while the rest of the negotiating team had to return to the hotel first.
Soon, Anthony and Jennifer arrived at a manor on Mount Holbey.
Although he has seen many big scenes, this resplendent manor still aroused Jennifer's inner amazement. This manor is as magnificent and colorful as the White House, full of the atmosphere of British aristocrats.
At this time, the manor was already full of luxury cars. From time to time, a famous waiter would come and get them out of the luxury cars. Successful people in luxurious clothes welcomed them into the manor, and Anthony received the same treatment.
"Old Clifford, long time no see!"
"Old boy!"
In front of the gate of the manor, a middle-aged man in his fifties stood at the door and gently hugged Clifford, then the old man looked behind Clifford and asked curiously, "Who are these two? "
"These two are high-level personnel of the Black Watch Company, and they also came here especially for their reputation. Don't be negligent, old man."
The personal relationship between the two seems to be very good, at this moment Clifford smiled without thinking.
"The Blackwatch Company that developed the 'aging reversal therapy' and anti-cancer drugs?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he looked at the two of them carefully.
"Yes, I'm Anthony, the manager of the commercial department of Blackwatch Company, and this is Jennifer, the manager of the legal department. I've known you for a long time."
Anthony put on a gentleman's etiquette.
"My friends, you are welcome to come and join us. You are really right this time."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man burst out laughing, "We will show you some rare gadgets later, I guarantee you will be surprised!"
As he spoke, he welcomed everyone in with great enthusiasm.
