Silicon Valley

Chapter 214 My journey is the sea of ​​stars

Henry raised his head to look at Dr. Rothman, and said slowly, "How much money is there for Amgen Biopharmaceuticals?"

"Oh, Roche invested $2.1 billion to acquire 60% of Genentech, but we want to acquire 100% of the shares. So..." Rosman said a little embarrassedly, he knew that Biopharmaceutical and Genentech In comparison, it is still a lot worse. If this is a wholly-owned acquisition of Genentech, it will be like a snake swallowing an elephant, and it will definitely shock the industry!

Henry smiled and said indifferently: "Tell me, how much is it?"

"It's like this, Amgen Biopharmaceuticals has only $200 million in funding at the moment..."

Henry couldn't help feeling stunned after hearing his words, "You only want to buy Genentech for only $200 million?"

"Yes, Mr. Williams..." Rossman replied with a serious look on his face, "The biopharmaceutical company has no money, but we know you have money! Although you have not announced it, it is well known that Williams The bank is yours! So, we thought, if you could get Williams Bank to lend to Amgen Biopharma, then we could buy Genentech!!!”

Henry couldn't help laughing when he heard this!

"Dr. Rothman, you think very well! If you take a loan, I'm afraid it's not a small amount...even more than the market value of Amgen Biopharmaceuticals!"

Rothman blushed, and I am afraid that no bank would agree to such a request. But Henry Williams is the chairman of Amgen Biopharmaceuticals, so there is a glimmer of hope!

"Does Mr. Williams willing to give up this opportunity, don't you want to win Genentech?" Dr. Rothman asked rhetorically, then paused deliberately, took a look at Henry's expression, and saw that he was calm, It's really hard to guess what's in your heart, so he went on to persuade. "Acquired Genentech and brought together the two strongest biopharmaceutical companies in the world. With our gene technology, we will be able to overcome various medical difficulties and develop more biological gene drugs for the benefit of the world!!!"

Henry nodded thoughtfully and said solemnly, "Dr. Rothman. Your words have moved me!"

"Then... the bank can lend us money?!!" Rossman asked excitedly.

"Don't worry, Dr. Rothman, you should know that the amount of loan Amgen Biopharma needs is not a small amount, but all banks need to think carefully, don't they?!"

Rothman was slightly disappointed: "Mr. Williams. That's right. But Roche is also buying Genentech, if... I mean, if Williams Bank doesn't agree to lend us soon, then Amgen Biopharma will pass Genentech, it's like watching shooting stars fly by and we can't do anything!!"

"Dr. Rothman, please rest assured, within three days. Whether Williams Bank agrees or not, we will give you an accurate reply!" Henry smiled and promised.

"Oh, that's the best!" Rossman nodded.

Kaelina held back a laugh beside her, but she had long known that Henry wanted to buy Genentech as crazy, how could he refuse, and now he pretended to be hesitant, but in fact he was just pretending!

After Henry and Kelina left the company, Kelina asked, "Why didn't you agree to them right away?"

"Agreed so early. Wouldn't it be too easy?" Henry laughed, "Although I also want Amgen Biopharma to buy Genentech right away, I also want them to realize the importance of our investors, isn't it? Or else, after the company grows and grows, the more money it makes, the stronger the sense of rejection in their hearts, and they will even treat us as vampires attached to the company!"

"Gene biotechnology is the future development trend of science and technology, and it will shine in medicine, so it must be firmly in control! Have you ever imagined that human beings can be changed through gene biotechnology? Cancer patients can use gene biotechnology to Healing; frail men can become strong through genetic biotechnology; old people can delay aging through genetic biotechnology; women can stay young forever through genetic biotechnology…”

"Of course, maybe I'm exaggerating. But, technology is developing, who can say what will happen in the future? A thousand years ago, human beings could not believe that they could fly to the moon, but now, we have done it! Just say Cancer, maybe it will not be completely cured in the next 20 to 30 years, but 50 years, 100 years, or even longer? I believe that at that time, cancer will be just like a cold, just a minor illness, take a pill The pills are just fine!"

"There's a popular saying in Silicon Valley, 'Technology changes everything!' So, I've always liked technology!"

Kaelina smiled and said, "Yes, that's right, you are already the king of technology acquisitions!!!"

"No, my journey is the sea of ​​stars!" Henry looked at her and said very seriously.

When Kaelina heard the words, she smiled suddenly, "Have you watched too much "Legend of the Galactic Heroes"?"

Henry can't laugh or cry, can I say I haven't seen it? A group of people who pretend to be in the future have all said this sentence, and I have only heard it myself. "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" is more than two million words long, scientific and technical, but it is a Japanese work. I haven't read it myself, but I know a little bit. Of course, "My journey is the sea of ​​stars!" But it is famous because of this novel! The true origin of this sentence is unknown...

Whether or not Williams Bank would lend to Amgen Biopharmaceutical Company is entirely a matter of Henry's words.

On the morning of the third day, Henry estimated that Rothman and others were also anxious, so he told him that Williams Bank finally agreed to the loan after his exhausting words and repeated persuasion, and fully supported Amgen Biopharmaceutical Company’s acquisition of Gene. Tektronix.

Hearing the news, Rothman glowed red with excitement.

"Chairman, I will make a takeover offer to Genentech!!!"

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news!"

Roche quickly made a request for a $3.5 billion wholly-owned acquisition of Genentech. As soon as the news came out, Roche Pharmaceuticals responded immediately. Its diplomatic spokesman declared at a press conference: "Roche Pharmaceuticals is interested in Genentech. It is imperative that the company decides to execute the acquisition plan at all costs!!!”

Such a move by Roche immediately caused a sensation in the industry!

When Rossman and others received the news, they all frowned!

Henry saw the nervousness of Rothman and others, and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, with me here, even if Roche Pharmaceuticals has three heads and six arms, we will dare to fight!!!"

(I am guilty, I was wrong, and the update is slow. I originally wanted to watch the third watch, but it was delayed by some things. I will get up early tomorrow to make up the code and make up for the fourth watch.)
