Silicon Valley

The Gene Umbrella Company called Henry, and the world pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is preparing to merge with the American Pharmacia Pharmaceutical Company through a stock exchange with shares worth about 59.5 billion U.S. dollars.

Henry couldn't help being surprised when he heard the news. These two companies are the world's top pharmaceutical companies. If Henry did not exist in this life, the merged Pfizer would immediately become the world's largest pharmaceutical company, and since 2002, it has occupied the top position in the pharmaceutical rankings all year round, with a market value of one or two dollars. Hundreds of billions of dollars.

"Mr. Williams, after the Pfizer merger, the pharmaceutical division of our genetic umbrella will be hot on the heels!"

"I know!" Henry nodded calmly. Gene Umbrella, as the world's largest company with a market value of nearly one trillion US dollars, is not in vain. In fact, biopharmaceuticals is just one of the departments, and there are more than 20 departments such as bioinformatics department, biomaterials department, bionano department, biorobotics department, bioenergy department, bioenvironment department, bioengineering department, equipment manufacturing department, etc. However, the gene pharmaceutical department is one of the most important departments of Gene Umbrella.

And Gene Umbrella's annual research and development investment exceeds 40 billion US dollars, which is more than the sum of the research and development investment of the nine pharmaceutical companies behind it!

Henry thought about it at this time and said: "Pfizer was founded in 1849 and has a history of more than 160 years. Moreover, this company is still a biopharmaceutical company based on research and development. Its products cover chemical drugs, biological agents, and vaccines. , health drugs and many other extensive and promising therapeutic and health fields. At the same time, its excellent research and development and production capabilities are in the leading position in the world. Enhanced the strength of Gene Umbrella!" Henry paused and asked, "What is the current cash flow of Gene Umbrella Company?"

"$180 billion!"

Henry pondered for a while and said: "Okay, I will ask Bank of America, Standard Chartered Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Wyman Capital, and Blackstone Investment Group to borrow 100 billion US dollars for Gene Umbrella to help Gene Umbrella complete the acquisition plan of Pfizer! "

"Yes!"

At the juncture of Pfizer's acquisition of Pharmacia Pharmaceuticals, Henry had to acquire it, because any potential threat could be a fatal threat and must be stifled! Henry does not allow another Big Mac to appear in the world.

So, when the American media was rumored that Pfizer was going to acquire Pharmacia Pharmaceuticals, another piece of news suddenly blew up the media.

On May 10th, Gene Umbrella held a press conference and announced that it intends to acquire Pfizer and Pharmacia for $160 billion!

The news quickly spread all over the world, and was considered by the media as another big move by Henry Williams following the acquisition of department stores and supermarkets!

"Damn it, I'm convinced, it's so fucking awesome. I thought Pfizer was awesome before, and spent a whopping $59.5 billion to acquire another major pharmaceutical company. I bought the two of them together... Nima, life is like a drama, and drama is like life!" Chinese netizen "Jade Face Flying Dragon" said in amazement.

"Oh, my God, if Gene Umbrella acquires Pfizer and Pharmacia, it will be terrible, and all pharmaceutical companies in the world will tremble for it!!!" American netizen Jack was also shocked.

"Haha, cool, Henry Williams is the Duke of Cambridge in the UK, trying to acquire all American companies, as well as Johnson \u0026 Johnson, Merck, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Wyeth...!" A British netizen gloated message.

The Americans couldn't stand it anymore, and left messages one after another: "Fuck, you bastard, isn't Mr. Williams an American?

Mr. Williams, it is said that GlaxoSmithKline in the UK is very powerful, representing the highest level in the world today in the four major medical fields of anti-infection, central nervous system, respiratory and gastrointestinal tract/metabolism, and in the field of vaccines and anti-tumor drugs It also ranks first in the industry. Moreover, it is the only company developing drugs and vaccines for the three major global diseases (malaria, AIDS and tuberculosis) identified by the World Health Organization! Buy it, sure! "

"..."

Henry couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the comments on the Internet. Netizens actually offered advice to him, but they all seemed to be quite good... However, if he continues to buy, he will definitely be stopped by the governments of various countries!

...

...

At this time, the management of Pfizer and Pharmacia Pharmaceuticals had mixed feelings in their hearts, which was indescribable. Especially Pfizer, who used to be a hunter wielding a gun, but in the blink of an eye, he became a prey in the eyes of others, and his heart was very different...

"What should I do? Do you accept the acquisition of Gene Umbrella?"

At the meeting of Pfizer's board of directors, an old man in a suit and leather shoes asked. He was wearing a pair of round-frame retro glasses and looked up at the crowd.

"Butler, don't you think the price offered by Gene Umbrella is very attractive?" A middle-aged man sitting on the right hand side of the old man chuckled, "Pharmacia's valuation is at most 60 billion U.S. dollars. The company could be valued at $100 billion!"

The old man named Butler stroked his eyes and said, "Yes, this price is very exciting! Hart, you mean to decide to sell Pfizer?"

"Of course!"

Hart nodded, then looked at the other board members, and said, "Everyone, raise your hands and vote!"

As soon as the words fell, most of the directors raised their hands...

At this moment, a similar scene is also playing out in Pharmacia Pharmaceuticals.

Due to the large scale of the acquisition, the US government intervened in the review. Although Henry's relationship with the U.S. government is not very harmonious, he still has some contacts he cultivated before. In addition, the United States is a country that pays attention to the rule of law. Even if Gene Umbrella acquires these two companies, it is far behind in the pharmaceutical field. It does not constitute a monopoly, so the U.S. government cannot prevent the acquisition of Gene Umbrella in the name of anti-monopoly!

So, one month later, the three parties signed the contract!

Then, Pfizer's ace drug developed and launched in 1998 - "Viagra" naturally belongs to Gene Umbrella. This "Viagra" is not simple at all, it also has a name called "Sildenafil". If you still don't know what it is? Well, then I can only talk about it in layman's terms, this is the famous, well-known, magical medicine that is good news for men - "Brother Wei~"! ! !

Although the food is good, you can't eat too much, it's three-point poisonous, and the side effects of "Brother Wei~" are not small, so you need to take it carefully...

"Viagra" achieved unprecedented success all at once. According to statistics, four pills of "Viagra" are taken by patients every second in the world, which made Pfizer famous and achieved great commercial success.

However, don't think that Pfizer is relying on "Viagra". In fact, many of Pfizer's products are the world's best-selling products in related fields. Amlodipine Tablets), since 1990, has been used in the world for more than 40 billion patient treatment days, and is the most prescribed brand drug in the world so far!

With the acquisition of Pfizer and Pharmacia pharmaceutical companies, Gene Umbrella is even more powerful in the field of pharmaceuticals, and its research and development capabilities have been greatly enhanced. The world's No. 1 pharmaceutical giant in the previous life was swallowed up by the Gene Umbrella Company. What else is there to say? This has a huge effect on the development of various magical medicines by Gene Umbrella, and the time before it really explodes is being shortened step by step... …
