Silicon Valley

Roche's statement quickly spread.

Many senior experts in the investment community said: "There is a saying in China, 'If you can't eat grapes, say the grapes are sour!' ·Williams is a legend in the investment world and is recognized as the most investment-minded person in the world! He has invested in many companies that we know or don't know, but only a little bit of what we know can deeply shock everyone. !"

"And this time, Henry Williams is determined to acquire Genentech, and his attitude and determination are stronger than ever! It can be seen that this company has great investment potential in his eyes!! !"

"So, we can wait and see and see if Genentech can... oh no, it should be called Gene Umbrella now!!!"

"We can wait and see what kind of answer sheet the Gene Umbrella Company can give Henry in the future! But I think it will be a very beautiful answer sheet!!!"

In addition to the solidarity of experts with Henry, many netizens also expressed their support for Henry with comments on the Internet!

"Roche Pharmaceuticals is a fart, what's so great, it dares to laugh at Henry Williams, and ask the richest man to take it!!!"

"The total market value of Roche Pharmaceuticals is less than half of Henry Williams' worth, yet it is so arrogant, just kill it!!!"

"Objectively speaking, Henry Williams spent $4 billion to acquire 65% of Genentech, which is indeed a bit high. However, a premium acquisition is also normal for a company with great development potential. And Roche is in the competition. Losing, and finally getting angry and mocking Henry Williams, this is stingy and has no measure!!!"

"I want to say that Henry Williams' investment has never failed, waiting for Roche to be slapped in the face!!!"

"Sit together!!!"

"Same seat?? Full of love..."

"..."

Roche taunts Henry. How could Henry just let it go?

Two weeks later, there was a news in European newspapers: Roche Pharmaceuticals officially launched the acquisition of Nikola Laboratories, a famous European OTC drug company!

Henry was the first to react when he heard the news. Cut Hu! ! !

If Roche acquires Nikola Laboratories, it will have a bigger share of the OTC market in Europe!

At first glance, Henry thought it was Nikola Tesla's laboratory. But when it comes to drug development, there must be someone else!

But anyway. Henry decided to muddy the water.

Over-the-counter drugs refer to drugs that can be purchased without a prescription from a doctor or other medical professional after being prescribed or approved by the national health administrative department under the premise of ensuring the safety of drugs for the convenience of the public. Medicines are allowed to be sold!

Many of Roche's own medicines are over-the-counter. If Nikolai Laboratories was acquired. Naturally complement each other!

The drugs developed by Gene Umbrella are currently prescription drugs, which must be purchased and used under the guidance of professional doctors!

Therefore, Gene Umbrella does not need to rush to acquire over-the-counter drug companies.

But why not do something that can block Roche Pharmaceuticals?

In addition, it is not a loss to acquire Nicholas Labs, which is a company that can make money. Moreover, it can also retaliate against Roche Pharmaceuticals. Nikola Labs for Roche. Significant. It turns out that the two parties are competing, and the price of each other cannot be too high, which will naturally lead to a decrease in profit!

But once merged, it amounts to a monopoly. The price or something, isn't it what you say?

Change the packaging, market it as a new product, and then the price goes up a little more...

Henry thought to himself, even if he could not acquire Nikola Labs in the end, he would make Roche Pharma spend more money!

However, such a mess. There is no need for Henry to go out in person, just send some men.

Not long afterward, Roche Pharma learned that Gene Umbrella was also coming to acquire Nikola Labs. Hearing this news, Roche Pharma just wanted to curse. You said that you are a biopharmaceutical company that develops prescription drugs to acquire a traditional chemical company of non-prescription drugs, and your technical expertise is completely wrong. What kind of trouble is this going to make? ! !

Roche Pharmaceuticals hated Henry so much that he must have led this matter. He was taking revenge! ! !

Originally, Nikola Labs was about to agree to its acquisition conditions. Who would have guessed that as soon as the Gene Umbrella Company stepped in, Nikola Labs’ tone changed immediately, and they immediately took it into consideration. Our company, I have to pinch to see who pays more? Seeing this, the representative of Roche Pharma shook his head unconsciously, thinking, "Made, it looks like he's going to bleed a lot..."

Nikola Labs doesn't care whether the Gene Umbrella Company is buying it sincerely or whether it is specifically to make trouble for Roche Pharmaceuticals. We welcome the arrival of the genetic umbrella! Subsequently, the two sides conducted many intimate negotiations!

Nikolai wanted to sell at a high price and show it to Roche.

The same is true for the genetic umbrella, so the two sides hit it off and performed very tacitly!

However, if Roche Pharma just left it alone, the Gene Umbrella might acquire Nikola Labs easily! But if Roche charges a high price, Gene Umbrella may pull out. Of course, the merger of the company has a lot of funds. However, the development of new products requires a lot of money. Gene Umbrella keeps the money and will increase investment in scientific research!

The Gene Umbrella Company is a conspiracy, and it is clear that it will not let Roche Pharmaceuticals have a better time.

Roche has to suffer this loss for the layout of over-the-counter drugs in Europe.

Immediately, Roche Pharmaceuticals raised the acquisition offer to Nikola Labs. Originally, it wanted to acquire it for $1 billion, but now it has increased by $100 million!

But it didn't take long for it to come out that the Gene Umbrella Company offered Nikola Labs a purchase price of $1.11 billion!

Snapped! ! !

The sound of slapping the table suddenly sounded in the large conference room of Roche Pharmaceuticals!

"This Gene Umbrella Company must be deliberately against us!!!"

"Isn't it obvious? In addition, Nikolai Lab also cooperated with them and pretended to be intimate, thinking we didn't know they were acting?"

"It seems that the money we made before is now going to be spit out again..."

"Fuck, don't buy Nikolai Laboratory at all!"

"If we don't buy it, let the Gene Umbrella Company buy it. After that, won't our European backyard be on fire!!!"

"After all, we still have to acquire Nikola Labs! We also increased the price and paid $1.2 billion!"

"Hmph, what if Gene Umbrella pays $1.21 billion? If we don't make a high price, Gene Umbrella will continue to follow! In this case, it's better to directly pay a high price and let it retreat! If you increase the price, then we will give up this acquisition!”

"Well, that's right! Just quote a high price. Otherwise, it only adds ten million dollars for every price we quote, and it's always swiping our face!"

"Well, I agree!"

"..."

Afterwards, the people at Roche were considering how much price would be appropriate?

After discussing for an hour, the final decision was made and the bid was $1.5 billion!

Nikola Labs was very excited about this price, and the representative of Gene Umbrella asked Henry whether to continue to increase the price. Henry smiled and said: "No, the acquisition of Nikola Labs does not play a big role for us! The development direction of our company is biotechnology, if there is a suitable biotechnology company, it can be acquired!!!”

"Okay, I understand!"

After the Gene Umbrella representative hung up the phone, he replied to Nikolai Lab, Gene Umbrella gave up the acquisition!

Nikola Labs was a little disappointed, but because the genetic umbrella joined the competition, it was able to increase the purchase price to 1.5 billion US dollars, and he was very satisfied.

It didn't take long for Roche to sign a contract with Nikola Laboratories to complete the acquisition!

At the press conference, after the chairman of Roche Pharmaceuticals finished speaking, a reporter asked, "May I ask your company to spend 1.5 billion US dollars to acquire Nikola Labs, which has a market value of only 1 billion US dollars, is it stupid and rich? "
