Silicon Valley

Chapter 217 The Great War (Third)

"What's the matter, Dr. Rothman?"

"Oh yes, we just got the news that Roche has suddenly borrowed $2 billion from Citibank!!!"

"Borrowed $2 billion?!" Henry couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the news!

"Yes, borrowed $2 billion, the news is conclusive!" Rothman said in a very positive tone.

Henry frowned immediately. Roche Pharmaceuticals originally had more than 4 billion US dollars, which was enough to acquire Genentech. But now borrowing another $2 billion, what is it going to do?

Henry asked Dr. Rothman, "Have you found out why they borrowed $2 billion from the bank?"

Dr. Rothman shook his head and thought: "Not yet! However, I guess it has something to do with the acquisition of Genentech! Because we intervened on the side, Roche failed to acquire Genentech. Now they have borrowed another 2 billion U.S. dollars, I'm more worried now that Genentech will not be able to resist the temptation..."

"Tell them that our bid will not be less than that of Roche!!!" Henry said solemnly.

"But……"

Henry interrupted: "Just tell them like this, about the money, I'll find a way!"

"it is good!"

After Henry hung up the phone, he couldn't help being silent!

The unknown is the most terrifying.

Is Roche really willing to spend $6 billion to acquire Genentech? Before, they were only willing to offer $2.1 billion for a 60% stake...

Henry took a deep breath, no matter what tricks Roche Pharma plays, he must make all preparations and raise enough funds! ! !

Prestige Capital holds shares in other companies, at least 5% or more. All of them are sold at once, which will inevitably cause turmoil and the stock price will plummet. Therefore, throwing shares is also throwing little by little, so don’t be in a hurry! Of course. Someone else can take over as well, but it will take time!

Therefore, it takes time for Weifeng Capital to raise money!

but. Roche's behavior made Henry feel a little uneasy, and decided to prepare as soon as possible!

Due to his excellent memory, Henry memorized the financial statements of the major companies under his name and knew which companies had excess funds. then. I informed them and asked the major companies to prepare funds immediately to make sure that everything is safe!

Sure enough, Henry's worries became a reality!

A few days later, Rosman called Henry and said on the phone, "Chairman. Roche Pharmaceuticals finally shot!"

"Go on!"

"Here's the thing. Roche failed repeatedly at the negotiating table, and finally decided to launch a hostile takeover! Now, they are buying shares of Genentech like crazy in the stock market!!!"

Hearing this, Henry was taken aback and asked, "Are you saying that Roche has launched a hostile takeover?!"

"That's right!" Rosman nodded. "Chairman, we now need funds to compete with Roche Pharmaceuticals in the stock market!"

"Well, I see, don't worry. I'll arrange for someone to snap up Genentech stock!"

"OK!!!"

Henry hung up the phone, and then drove to Prestige Capital to tell Kaelina the matter.

The more she listened, the darker her face became.

"Things are a little tricky!!!" Kaelina said with a frown, "Roche can attack and defend, we are now completely passive!"

Henry looked at her and motioned her to continue.

Kaelina said solemnly: "Now, Roche Pharmaceuticals has acquired Genentech's stock in the stock market! As you must know, as the capital of Roche Pharmaceuticals enters the stock market, Genentech's stock price will definitely soar. When the price rises to a With a very high position, I think there will be many major shareholders who will also sell their shares! If we remain indifferent, then it is very likely that Roche will succeed in the end and get the controlling stake of the company!”

"However, if we also enter the stock market and compete with them for Genentech shares. Roche Pharmaceuticals can have two choices. First, they can compete with all their strength; second, if they can't compete, they can sell the stock. Go high and they can make a fortune! They can attack, they can retreat, and we have no choice but to snap up the stock and take those losses!"

Hearing Kaelina's analysis, Henry immediately understood why Roche Pharma had to borrow US$2 billion from Citibank. It turned out that they wanted to make a fortune in the stock market!

Henry was silent for a while, then looked at Kaelina, and said firmly: "This time we admit our failure and immediately go into the stock market to acquire Genentech!!!"

"Well, okay, no matter what you decide, I will support it!!!" Karina laughed.

"Um? Do you think we will lose money in this acquisition? Haha, one day, Roche will regret not doing all it can to acquire Genentech!!!"

"Looking at your tone, is it possible that the market value of Genentech will be very high in the future?!"

"Of course!" Henry nodded. "I am very optimistic about Genentech. Even if it spends 10 billion dollars to acquire it this time, I am willing!!!"

"Since you said that, then I have the bottom of my heart!!!"

Subsequently, Kaelina mobilized funds to preside over the acquisition! ! !

The battle between Prestige Capital and Roche Pharmaceuticals is imminent!

With the entry of Prestige Capital, the already lively stock market suddenly boiled! Shares of Genentech skyrocketed at an incredible rate, ending the day up $5!

This news shocked Wall Street and shocked all investors! ! !

Senior Wall Street analysts quickly gave the answer that the stock price rose so fast: "Yesterday, there was a war between Roche Pharmaceuticals and Prestige Capital, both of which were trying their best to snatch Genentech's stock, so Genentech's stock price rose that day. It has become the fastest rising stock price on the day in the past month!!!”

Afterwards, a senior Wall Street analyst introduced the situation of the two companies in detail, and then suggested to shareholders: "According to the current situation, the stock price of Genentech will continue to rise, and it is strongly recommended that shareholders who own the stock wait a few more days. Don't sell for now!!!"

The situation on the second day was just like what senior Wall Street analysts said. Genentech's stock price was still rising wildly. Although the increase was not as crazy as yesterday, it still rose by $3!

Investors cheered: "Haha, it went up again, it went up again!!!"

"Haha, the opportunity to make a fortune is rare!"

"Hehe, Mr. Williams is 'poverty alleviation', don't you think so!!!!"

"Haha, yes, it is poverty alleviation!!!"

"..."

In the following week, the stock price is still rising!

The battle between Prestige Capital and Roche Pharma is in full swing! ! !

At this time, Kaelina found Henry and said, "Weifeng Capital doesn't have enough funds, you need to raise more money!"

"Don't worry, I'm ready! This time, in addition to the $1 billion that Weifeng Capital previously entered the stock market, I also prepared $4 billion! Later, I will let Williams Bank transfer a billion dollars. In addition, the major companies under my name will also send money!"

"These funds are enough. If the stock price is too high, Roche Pharmaceuticals will not dare to continue. It will also be afraid of playing with fire. If we suddenly sell the stock, then it will be the one who will lose the most in the stock market in the end!" Karina He smiled, as if he was holding a Zhizhu.

"Well, yes, you are right!"

Actually, what Karina said was true at all! At this moment, within Roche Pharmaceuticals, a group of people are discussing whether the company is going to continue to snatch stocks, or is it ready to sell! Exactly how much this scale is, everyone is uncertain at the moment!

"The action continues! I expect Henry Williams will not let go easily, and we will add another $10 to the stock price!!!"

"I said, seconded!!!"

"Seconded!!!"

"..."
