v2 Chapter 219: Nicholas Lab

Roche's words spread quickly. One

Many senior experts in the investment industry said: "There is a saying in China called'Say grape sour if you can't eat grapes!' I think it is a jealousy for Roche Pharmaceuticals to scold Henry Williams for being stupid! Ms is a legend in the investment world and recognized as the person with the most investment vision in the world! He has invested in many companies 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. His attitude and determination are stronger than ever before! It can be seen that this company has great investment potential in his eyes!!! "

"So, we can wait and see if Genentech is OK, 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 experts supporting Henry, many netizens also expressed support for Henry on the Internet.

"Roche Pharmaceuticals is a fart, what's so great, dare to laugh at Henry Williams, begging to get rich and accept it!!!"

"The total market value of Roche Pharmaceuticals is not more than half of Henry Williams's worth. It is so arrogant, it is simply to be killed!!!"

"Objectively speaking, Henry Williams spent US$400 million to acquire 65% of Genentech’s shares, which is indeed a bit high. However, it is normal for a company with great potential to acquire at a premium. And Roche Pharmaceuticals has fallen behind in the competition. After losing, he became angry and ridiculed Henry Williams, which seemed stingy and unmeasured!!!"

"I want to say that Henry Williams' investment has never failed, waiting for Roche Pharmaceuticals to be beaten!!!"

"Sit together!!!"

"Same seat? A lot of love?"

""

Roche ridiculed Henry. How could Henry give up?

Two weeks later, a news came out in European newspapers: Roche Pharmaceuticals has formally acquired the famous European non-prescription drug company Nicholas Laboratories!

Henry heard the news, he was the first to react immediately, cut his head! ! !

If Roche Pharmaceuticals acquired Nicolas Laboratories. Thus, it will occupy a larger share in the European OTC drug market!

When Henry heard about Nikola's laboratory, he thought it was the laboratory of Nikola Tesla. But there must be someone else involved in drug prescribing!

But anyway, Henry decided to mess up the water.

Over-the-counter drugs refer to drugs for the convenience of the public and under the premise of ensuring drug safety. Drugs that can be purchased without a doctor or other medical professionals after being prescribed or approved by the national health administration department are, in short, the drugs that are allowed to be sold in pharmacies!

Many of Roche's own medicines are over-the-counter drugs. If Nicholas Laboratories is acquired, it will naturally complement each other!

The drugs prescribed by Gene Umbrella are currently prescription drugs and 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.

However, things that can add to the obstacles of Roche Pharmaceuticals. One why not do it?

In addition, the acquisition of Nicholas Labs is not a loss. This is a profitable company. Moreover, it can retaliate against Roche Pharmaceuticals. The Nicholas laboratory is of great significance to Roche Pharmaceuticals. It turns out that the two parties are competing, and the prices of each other cannot be too high, which naturally leads to reduced profits!

But once merged, it is equivalent to a monopoly. What is the price?

Change the packaging and put it on the market as a new product. Then the price went up a little bit

Henry thought to himself that even if he couldn't acquire Nicholas Labs in the end, he would still make Roche Pharmaceuticals spend more unjustified money!

However, this kind of disruptive thing. There is no need for Henry to go out in person, just send some hands on it.

Not long afterwards, Roche Pharmaceuticals learned that Gene Umbrella was also coming to acquire Nicholas Laboratories. Upon hearing this news, Roche Pharmaceuticals almost wanted to scold their mothers. You say that you are a biopharmaceutical company that prescribes drugs, and you are buying over-the-counter traditional chemical companies. The technical profession is totally wrong, what is this going to do? ! !

The Roche Pharmaceuticals company hated Henry. He must have led this matter. He was revenge! ! !

Originally, Nicholas Lab was about to agree to its own terms of acquisition. Who knew that when Gene Umbrella Company stepped in, Nicholas Lab’s tone changed immediately. He immediately picked it up and thought, since there are two major companies to acquire For our company, I have no choice but to see who pays more? Upon seeing this, the representative of Roche Pharmaceuticals shook his head unconsciously, and said, Mad, it seems he is about to bleed.

Nicola Laboratories does not care whether the Gene Umbrella Company has acquired it sincerely or whether it is specifically to trick Roche Pharmaceuticals. Welcome to the arrival of Gene Umbrella! Subsequently, the two sides conducted many close negotiations!

Nicholas wanted to sell it at a high price and showed it to Roche Pharmaceuticals.

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

However, if Roche Pharmaceuticals just let it go, Gene Umbrella might have bought Nicholas Labs easily! But if Roche Pharmaceuticals pays high prices, Gene Umbrella may withdraw. Of course, this company merger has a lot of funds. But the research of new products requires a lot of money. Gene Umbrella keeps money and will increase investment in scientific research!

The Gene Umbrella Company is a conspiracy, and it has made it clear that Roche will not make it easier.

Roche Pharmaceuticals had to suffer this loss for the layout of non-prescription drugs in Europe.

Immediately, Roche Pharmaceuticals increased the purchase offer from Nicolas Laboratories. Originally, it wanted to acquire it for US$100 million, but now it has increased by US$100 million!

But it didn't take long before it came out that the Gene Umbrella Company offered Nicholas Labs a purchase price of US$1.11 billion!

Snapped! ! !

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

"This Gene Umbrella Company must have deliberately opposed us!!!"

"Is this unclear? In addition, Nicholas Lab also cooperated with them, pretending to be intimate, thinking we didn't know they were acting?"

The money I made before is going to be vomited out again."

"Fuck, don't buy Nicholas Lab at all!"

"If we don't buy, let Gene Umbrella buy it. After that, won't our European back garden catch fire!!!"

"Speaking of which, we still have to buy Nicholas Lab! We also increase the price and give us $1.2 billion!"

"Huh, what if Gene Umbrella Company pays 1.21 billion US dollars? If we don't pay a high price, Gene Umbrella Company will continue to follow! In this way, it is better to directly pay a high price and let it retreat! Increase the price, then we will give up this acquisition!"

"Well, that's right! Just quote a high price. Otherwise, every time we quote a price, it will only increase by 10 million US dollars, and always brush our faces!"

"Well, I second!"

""

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

After discussing for an hour, it was finally decided to bid 1.5 billion US dollars!

Nicholas Lab is very excited about this price~lightnovelpub.net~ The representative of Gene Umbrella asked Henry if he should continue to increase the price. Henry smiled and said, "No, the acquisition of Nicola Lab will help us. The effect is not great! Our company's development direction is biotechnology. If there is a suitable biotechnology company, it can be acquired!!!"

"Okay, I get it!"

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

Nicholas Lab was a little disappointed, but because the gene umbrella joined the competition, he was able to raise the purchase price to 1.5 billion US dollars, and he was very satisfied.

Not long after, Roche Pharmaceuticals signed a contract with Nicolas Laboratories and completed the acquisition!

At the press conference, after the chairman of Roche Pharmaceuticals finished speaking, a reporter asked: "Excuse me, your company actually spent 1.5 billion US dollars on the acquisition of Nicholas Laboratories, which has a market value of only 100 million US dollars. Isn't it a idiot? "
