Into Unscientific

Chapter 352 The Offensive of Seven Foreign Companies! (8.4K)

a month later.

neon.

Aspen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

"Baga! No Road Race!"

A little old man with a hygienic mustache scolded angrily, picked up the document on the table, and forced it to the other standing in front of the desk, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with silver-gray hair parted in the middle Throw it on the middle-aged man.

Snapped--

The heavy document hit the middle-aged man's forehead heavily.

The scattered pieces of paper slowly fell to the ground like snowflakes.

under the collision.

The middle-aged man's mirror frame was slightly skewed, the picture in his field of vision was inexplicably awkward, and there was a sense of discomfort in his ears.

But although the senses are uncomfortable, the middle-aged man dare not reach out to adjust the frame.

He suddenly brought his legs together, put his hands on the outside of his thighs, and bowed straightly:

"I'm sorry, Mr. President!"

Looking at the middle-aged man who bowed to the end in front of him.

The little old man took a few deep breaths, his face was full of lingering anger, and spit was flying around:

"43 days, only 43 days, you told me that we worked so hard to add the production process of the Wassenaar agreement, and it was broken by those Chinese people???"

"What did you say at the beginning?"

"'Master President, please don't worry, within a month, we will make that Huaxia company run out of goods to sell', but what about now?"

Talking and talking.

The little old man picked up a stack of reports again, and waved them in the air:

"The production capacity of that Huaxia company has increased by a full five times, tmd five times! You bastard!"

The little old man's chest heaved and fluctuated violently. Under the excitement, he didn't even notice that one of his false front teeth had fallen out.

After all, the false door of the tooth can be replaced if it falls off, but if the real door of Aspen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. collapses, then everything will be over.

Aspen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

be honest.

Compared with Kobayashi Pharmaceutical and Takeda Pharmaceutical, which are neon drug manufacturers, Aspen Pharmaceuticals is not well-known.

When the name Aspen is mentioned many times, many people will subconsciously think of Asconli, a pharmaceutical giant.

But in stark contrast to the reputation of Aspen Pharmaceuticals, it is its history and status in the field of pesticides.

Founded in 1892, Aspen Pharmaceuticals is one of the companies with the longest history in Neon, specializing in the development of various insecticides.

Until 2022.

Aspen Pharmaceuticals holds 56 percent of the market for Neon Insecticides, well over half.

Especially in the field of Neon's cockroach medicine.

The sales volume of Aspen Pharmaceuticals even surpassed that of Germany's Bymeister, accounting for 68%!

Of course.

This market share has a lot to do with Neon’s supervision of insecticides, but the sales area of ​​Aspen Pharmaceuticals is not limited to Neon’s domestic market.

Back in 1990.

Aspen Pharmaceuticals invested and established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Jinmen, Huaxia, with an investment of US$7.88 million—that was US$7.88 million in 1990.

At present, some treasures and a certain site sell products such as Ansu Mite Removal Spray, Ansu Little Black Hat Cockroach House, Ansu Cockroach Glue Bait, and Basroman, all of which come from Aspen Pharmaceuticals.

Its annual turnover in China is about 170-250 million yuan, and its net profit is more than 80 million yuan. (In other words, I would like to ask the readers of Almighty, is the profit in the financial report deducted from operating profits, or is it simply deducted from production costs?)

It can be said like this.

Aspen Pharmaceuticals is a company that has been fed by cockroaches.

So maybe a little over a month ago.

After learning that a company in Huaxia had developed the fifth-generation imidacloprid and applied for a patent, Aspen Pharmaceuticals paid close attention to this matter.

After all, this is a big event related to the lifeblood of the company!

The current president, Kyoichiro Tokuda, that is, this little old man with a hygienic beard, even asked the subsidiary in Jinmen to obtain samples for analysis as soon as "One Mantis" was listed.

The result.

Naturally, Kyoichiro Tokuda's already problematic prostate was so frightened that he almost peed bifurcated:

Huadun Biotechnology has really developed the fifth-generation imidacloprid, and its disinfecting effect is more than twelve times that of all third-generation imidacloprids!

This is already the concept of dimensionality reduction strike.

no way.

R\u0026D is like this. After the first generation of products comes out, it has a crushing advantage over the previous generation.

But cognition belongs to cognition. As a company with a history of 130 years, Aspen Pharmaceuticals cannot be caught without a fight.

So after Bayer, vilosi and other companies put forward the idea of ​​sanctions.

Aspen Pharmaceuticals not only agreed with the plan with both hands, but also acted as a vanguard:

Kyoichiro Tokuda used some neon political resources to speed up the time for Nutrien's FOERDA-T632 to join the Wassenaar agreement.

Actually.

This is not the first time Neon has done this.

A large number of neon companies can be seen in the event of the cut-off of EDA software necessary for integrated circuits with a GAAFET structure.

Therefore, although some costs were paid for the supply cutoff plan, it was ultimately successful with high efficiency.

Even when Nutrien Company sent the letter of renunciation of confession to Huadun Biotechnology, many of them were written by Kyoichiro Tokuda.

Kyoichiro Tokuda remembered it clearly.

After confirming that FOERDA-T632 joined the Wassenaar Agreement.

Nakajo Yukihiro, the person in charge of Ansu's product matrix. That is, the man who is standing in front of him now with great craftsmanship, also vowed to say a word to him:

"Master President, the advantage is private niある!"

The result was unexpected.

Less than fifty days before and after.

Huadun Biotechnology has solved the problem of cyclization accuracy, and the daily output has increased from 16,000 to nearly 70,000!

Within a week.

Aspen Pharmaceuticals' product sales in China plummeted by 32%!

And this decline is still increasing, obviously not hitting the bottom.

"."

Think here.

Tokuda Kyouichiro tremblingly took out a small medicine bottle from the drawer.

After unscrewing the lid, he shook his palm twice, put his palm on his mouth, and swallowed the medicine with his head held high.

"call"

Then Tokuda Kyoichiro breathed out a turbid breath, barely calmed down, and asked Nakajo Yukihiro:

"Nakatiao-san, which production link of Huadun Biotech's product currently has the possibility of cutting off the supply?"

Nakajo Kouhiro still bent over, raised his head slightly and looked carefully at his president:

"No more."

"What about the raw materials?"

". Only the monohydrate of the acylation link is a raw material that is not produced by Huaxia, but the reason why Huaxia does not produce it is because it is cheaper to import, and toluene sulfonate can be used clinically to treat diabetes, so even the neon cabinet is impossible make sure it is banned"

"."

for a while.

Tokuda Kyouichiro felt that his blood pressure, which had been so hard to drop, had risen a lot.

So he quickly took a few deep breaths and asked again:

"What about Bayer? Kobayashi Pharmaceutical? Did they send a letter?"

Nakajo Kouhiro heard the words, as if he had got a chance to express himself, he nodded quickly:

"Yes, yes! Mr. President, Mr. Fisher, the public relations manager of Bayer Pharma, sent an official invitation letter for a teleconference an hour ago."

"The letter stated that Bayer is planning to hold a multi-party online discussion meeting on Huadun Biotechnology at 5 p.m.."

"Five p.m?"

Kyoichiro Tokuda looked up at the clock on the office wall, which clearly showed the current time:

14:26.

Tokuda Kyouichiro's eyes narrowed immediately.

To know.

For department heads of large pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer, Kobayashi, and Takeda, scheduling is a very serious matter.

Especially multi-party conferences.

Meetings of this size often start to be contacted and prepared a month in advance, on a regular basis for about half a month to a week, and then the assistant is responsible for the itinerary reminder.

It's not uncommon to have an hour's notice and a meeting a few hours later, regardless of time zone, but it's very, very rare.

Now Bayer has broken this convention, so it is obvious that

Bayer is also in a hurry.

Two and a half hours later.

Kyoichiro Tokuda sat behind his desk alone, and the webex meeting interface was displayed on the computer screen in front of him.

There are a total of seven participants today, five men and two women.

The Jabra PanaCast camera clearly displayed everyone's facial expressions on the screen.

It can be clearly seen at this time.

Although everyone's background and environment are different, their expressions are consistent and dignified, even with a tinge of .

worry.

After about half a minute.

Facing the silent crowd, the older of the two women couldn't help but speak.

This person is about fifty years old, with deep eye sockets, and a Van Cleef \u0026 Arpels most famous four-leaf clover pendant hanging around her neck. Her slightly protruding cheekbones make her look a bit cold and mean:

"Excuse me, gentlemen, are we doing the silent prayer before supper?"

"Or is it that modern technology has invented brainwave communication, but my technical advisor didn't tell me about it?"

Hear the woman's complaint.

The little old man who was at the first place on the screen and marked with Bayer, the logo of the Bayer Group, quickly stretched out his hands and pressed down in front of the screen:

"Sorry, Ms. Corinna, I was just debugging the device - there seems to be something wrong with my Evolve2. Now it's OK."

Corinna curled her lips when she heard the words, but said nothing.

The little old man clasped his hands together with a snap, and said to everyone:

"Okay everyone, before today's meeting starts, let me introduce today's participants to you."

"From across the sea, Corinna Asensio, the head of insecticide research and development at Advion."

"From Kyoichiro Tokuda, the president of Neon Aspen Pharmaceuticals."

"Isco Edu, CPO from Vilosi, UK."

"Gareth Toure, chairman of Valeny Pesticides in Gaul."

"Uli de Oliveira, Biopesticide Market Specialist from Zorno, Italy."

"Jessica Hurley, Sales Representative, Nutrien, Maple Leaf Country."

"And me, Bayer Group Greater China Vice President, Adams Boronat."

After introducing everyone's identities.

Adams Boronat took a deep breath, looked solemn, and continued:

"As for the reason why this meeting was temporarily opened today, it is naturally."

"Our original plan to cut off donations to Huadun Biotech has completely failed!"

"They have a set of more elaborate production modules, and they have the conditions to form a cold winter."

Hear what Adams Boronat said.

Even though it was just an online exchange, the atmosphere of the meeting was still a bit dignified.

after awhile.

The representative of Vilosi, Isco Edu, raised his hand and asked:

"Mr. Adams, since this is the case, does Bayer have any new plans? For example"

"Policy ban?"

As the CPO of vilosi company, Isco Edu looks very handsome, but his words have an inexplicable sense of chill.

"block?"

Beside his avatar, Gareth Toure from Vareny Pesticide Company couldn't help but sneered when he heard this:

"Mr. Isco, you should know that Huadun Biotech's current product coverage area is all in China.

"Except for a few daigou, they have not spread out overseas sales at all."

"Even if we use political resources to impose bans in Europe and the Americas, it will not have any impact on their sales."

"Mr. Isco, could it be that the vilosi company has the ability to influence the Chinese government, so that Huadun Biotechnology is completely blocked in China?"

Although Vareny Pesticide also produces imidacloprid, its lifeblood product in China is fertilizer, and the annual sales of cockroach medicine are only about four to five million Huaxia coins.

After deducting other costs, the profit is about a million dollars.

It is definitely best to have a profit of this magnitude, but if you really can't keep it.

In fact, that's it.

So relatively speaking.

Gareth Touré's pressure was actually the lowest of the seven on the field.

Right now, he has the opportunity to be eccentric with his British counterparts, and he will naturally not let go of this opportunity-after all, Britain and France are blood feuds.

The insinuation from his peers made Isco feel a little uncomfortable, but Vilosi’s annual business in China has more than 30 million from cockroach medicine, so he can only put his personal emotions aside for the time being:

"In that case, Mr. Gareth, do you have any other options?"

Upon hearing this, Gareth spread his hands neatly:

"No, why don't you just surrender?"

Looking at the hob-like meaty Gareth, Isco couldn't bear it anymore:

"What the hell do you Gauls do but surrender"

"enough!"

Just when Iska was about to explode, Adams Boronat couldn't help raising his volume:

"Several gentlemen, we organized this meeting today to stop the enemy, not for you to fight with each other."

"Mr. Gareth, if you continue to play tricks like this, I will use my authority to ask you to leave."

Seeing that, Gareth pursed his mouth, shrugged his shoulders, and said nothing.

Then Adams Boronat cast his gaze on Corinna and asked:

"Ms. Corinna, what do you think?"

Advion's disinfecting business volume in China is second only to Bayer, reaching more than 400 million in 2021, and it is also a disinfecting giant.

Although Advion's main company, Syngenta, was acquired by Huaxia Chemical in 2017, and Advion is currently also bearing the Syngenta brand.

But Advion had already gone out independently before the merger, and the current actual control has returned to the hands of AstraZeneca.

Among the people present.

The sales volume of Advion’s cockroach killer is not only higher than Kyoichiro Tokuda’s, but the size and influence of the company behind it is by no means comparable to Kyoichiro Tokuda’s.

Facing Adams' inquiry, Corinna was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Before this, the company's user portrait team in China gave me two reference plans, which I found very interesting. Do you want to hear them?"

Adams nodded:

"please."

Corinna picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip. While stroking the cat in her arms, she said:

"The two reference schemes are divided into one light and one dark, and can be implemented at the same time."

"The conspiracy is very simple."

"Although Huadun Biotech's products are really effective, the word-of-mouth has not yet spread, and many users are impulsive consumers."

"In addition to the fact that the season is gradually entering winter, the number of cockroaches has decreased significantly in summer, and there are not many people who can really experience the effect of the fifth-generation imidacloprid."

"At the same time, whether Bayer, Advion, or Ansu, the products have been on the market for several years or even more than ten years, and there are a large number of repurchasers with brand loyalty."

"Therefore, we can take advantage of the fact that the Huadun biological department is not yet fully developed, so we can fight a wave."

"Price war!"

"Price war?"

Adams glanced at Corinna covertly, and then quickly observed the reactions of the rest of the participants, a wave of fluctuation flashed in his eyes.

As a direct product of Bayer, Bayer is not inferior to Advion in terms of research and development, sales, or think tank.

So before the meeting.

Bayer's think tank has also given several proposals, which also include .

Price war!

The definition of price war is very simple. To put it bluntly, it means burning money.

If you get a 20% or even 50% discount on something worth ten yuan, people will naturally be willing to buy it.

Right now, "One Mantis" has just been launched, and it is a theoretically very effective way to squeeze it out with a price war.

At the same time compared to Corinna.

As vice president of Greater China, Adams also has two deeper pieces of information:

First, although Huadun Biotech has cracked the cyclization technology, the current production cost of "One Mantis" is still very high due to synthetic materials.

According to the laboratory synthesis results of the R\u0026D team of Baideshi, the production cost of "One Mantis" is about 6.5.

And the cost of worshiping the extermination is ahem, this cannot be said, in short, it is much lower.

Therefore, if there is a price war, Bayer has a crushing advantage in terms of cost.

The second is

As far as Adams knows.

Due to the account period of the Huaxia online shopping platform, Huadun Biotech currently has only two rounds of payment, which means the total fund is about 10 million.

Not long ago, Huadun Biotech seemed to allocate a signing fee and research funds to a newly recruited expert, and consumed another sum of funds.

Therefore, in terms of capital reserves, Huadun Biotech is far behind Bayer and other companies.

Think here.

Adams glanced at Corinna again, and while he was thinking about it, he continued to ask:

"Ms. Corinna, what about the second option besides the price war?"

"Since it's a method that can't be seen on the surface. Could it be to organize hackers to attack?"

Corinna shook her head lightly when she heard the words, and stroked the cat in her arms two more times:

"The success rate of hacker attacks is very low. As early as the day when Huadun Biotech's products were first launched, seven colleges and universities of Neon organized an attack."

"Everyone should know the result of that attack, and it's embarrassing."

While talking, she suddenly realized that the neon man Kyoichiro Tokuda was also there, so she temporarily changed her words:

"In short, it's not very satisfactory."

"."

Although Corinna closed the conversation, Tokuda Kyouichiro's face was still a bit ugly-the Aspen Club was one of the planners of the attackers that night.

Although Xu Yun made trouble afterwards, most of the neon public opinion believed that it was a sneak attack by Bangzi.

But for industry personnel, the cause and effect of the attack is no secret.

Worse yet.

There is also an Internet service company under the name of Kyoichiro Tokuda, which happens to be Teida’s management service provider

since that night.

The number of customers of that Internet company suddenly plummeted.

There are even some customers whose service has not expired choose to terminate the contract voluntarily, and would rather pay liquidated damages than cooperate with Kyoichiro Tokuda.

what a sad story

However, Corinna did not pay attention to Kyoichiro Tokuda's expression. The only person who really deserves her attention today is Adams:

"So Mr. Adams, the second solution given by the think tank team this time is not a cyber attack, but"

"Public opinion on social media."

"public opinion?"

Adams frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked:

"Ms. Corinna, I don't know what you mean by public opinion"

Corinna glanced at him, thought for a while, and gave an example:

"Not long ago, I saw a piece of news."

"Because of the eating habits in Northeast China, people like to eat all kinds of sauces on weekdays. Therefore, in those regions, the sales of seasonings such as soybean paste are very high."

"As a result, one day, a screenshot suddenly spread on the Huaxia Internet, saying that in the production workshop of so-and-so soybean paste, some employees have been shitting on soybean paste for a long time."

"The news swept across the Internet within a few hours, and relevant content can be seen on all major social media. For a while, people kept expressing their refusal to buy this soybean paste."

"A few hours later, the manufacturer released a statement and took photos of the fermenter—it was a row of oval airtight containers with a height of three to four meters. Unless Spider-Man, no one could excrete the dirt at the inlet."

As she spoke, Corinna suddenly spread her hands, with a subtle expression on her face:

"So, Innocence returned to that factory, but the previous impact couldn't be erased—in just one week, the sales of that soybean product dropped by 70%."

"Maybe in the future, relying on marketing and product quality, we can slowly recover losses, but in any case, it is impossible to return to the original height."

In the webex interface.

After Corinna finished speaking, everyone was silent.

Be an attendee who is eligible to participate in this online conference.

Whether it's Corinna or Tokuda Kyouichiro.

They may be bad, but they are never stupid—or bad in judgment or vision.

They are very clear.

Whether in China or internationally, once a certain rhythm is brought up, the influence will be very difficult to eliminate.

Like Britney Spears.

A good person was smeared by the paparazzi as a madwoman, her career shrank, and even her personal freedom was restricted. It wasn't until recent years that she got better.

Another example is Depp.

Being frantically framed by Amber Heard, Disney and Warner have terminated their contracts successively, and the characters of Fantastic Beasts 3 were lost, and the lawsuit was not won until this year.

Then Corinna raised a document in Yang's hand and said to everyone:

"Everyone, this is the specific operation plan customized by the think tank team, including the process, cooperation goals, input costs, and many directions for the implementation link."

"I will scan this document to the meeting backup later, and you can preview or download it directly."

After Corinna finished speaking, a bald man nodded first:

"Thank you, Ms. Corinne."

This person is Yuli de Oliveira, a biopesticide market specialist from Lirissa Zono in Italy, and this is the first time he spoke today:

"But Ms. Corinna, I have a question - Huadun Shengke's products are different from soybean paste, not a kind of food."

"Since this is the case, how should we discredit it? Could it be that it doesn't work well?"

Corinna glanced at him with a smile, pointed to the file and said:

"The specific plans are all recorded in the document, but since Mr. Yuli asked, I will simply say a few words first."

"The first thing to make clear is that China's social media situation is very complicated."

"There are all kinds of groups and bloggers. Two-faced people, three-faced people and even multi-faceted people can be seen everywhere."

"Some people are often driven by no brains, and they never get tired of it."

"So if you want to destroy the products of Huadun Biotechnology, you don't have to start from discrediting the quality, but you can choose from other angles."

"For example."

Corinna put the cat in her arms in front of the camera, and said meaningfully:

"Pet, and the founder of the product."
