Chapter 427: hide and seek



Like Bill Gates, his source of wealth has always been Microsoft stock. After years of reducing his holdings, he became a foundation under his name. The same is true for Warren Buffett. Berkshire Hathaway shares, that It is the embodiment of his wealth.

Not to mention the Walton family who control Wal-Mart. If Wal-Mart’s stock soars, their wealth will skyrocket. When Wal-Mart’s stock price plummets, their wealth will also shrink. And the Koch Brothers, as they own Koch Industries, the world\'s largest unlisted company, they rely on energy.

  As for someone like Roland, who relies on the Internet this year to prop up his fortune, next year relies on video games to expand his wealth, and the year after that eats the cake of film and television entertainment, and the year after that he will go to the semiconductor industry for a share?

  Don’t even think about this situation!

Others are involved in multiple industries to resist risks. Mixed operations may have a certain beneficial effect on their own wealth, but compared with Roland, a guy who was aiming at monopolizing the industry from the beginning, the difference is that Too much!

In this way, Ronald Perelman\'s movements are actually easy to speculate. They are nothing more than rolling back and forth on several properties he owns. …

   In fact, it is not bad.

  After selling Marvel to him, this guy who was supposed to have a relationship with Carl Icahn in his previous life is now very happy.

  Due to a large amount of cash entering the account, McAndrews and Forbes under his name did not have the same financial status in investment as Roland\'s previous life. The largest asset he holds, Revlon, has a fairly stable stock price;

  MandF, which controls 70% of the global licorice spice market, has a stable market value;

  Scientific Gaming Company, which sells slot machines, electronic card shufflers, instant lottery systems, gambling control systems and sports lottery to the world, occupies more than 60% of the North American gambling market!

   Its scale is as high as 20 billion!

   In addition, the fourth largest security company in the United States he owns can also provide him with an annual income of more than 800 million;

Under such circumstances, having nothing to do, he became a shareholder of SIGA, a pharmaceutical company established in New York in 1995 that specializes in the research and development of antiviral drugs. Not only that, he is also negotiating with Citibank for Golden State Bank and First Gibraltar Bank If there is no accident, becoming a shareholder of Citigroup will be his best choice.

  After watching his recent series of operations, Roland felt that when he really proposed a matchmaking deal to the other party, only the pharmaceutical company could become the bargaining chip that the other party asked for and quickly realized.

  Because the small bush government is in power, the pharmaceutical industry actually needs government support the most.

  For example, apply for special government funding from the National Institutes of Health, so that you can use taxpayer money to do your own things;

  For example, if you have a good relationship with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority of the United States, when the two parties work together, you can get a large number of government procurement contracts;

For another example, when the National Strategic Reserve Bureau approves the drugs you make, then the drugs you produce can be listed as the first choice by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and this kind of national promotion that can be listed as medical insurance is a company A real avenue for pharmaceutical companies to generate substantial revenue.

Do not believe?

  One Gilead can provide medical insurance in hundreds of countries around the world! When the U.S. government\'s health expenditure was absorbed by him, and he had to ask Goldman Sachs to act as an intermediary to let Gilead lower the price of the product, the benefits brought by the procurement in one country can be reflected!

   After all, monopoly is the most profitable business in the world!

   As for the pharmaceutical industry, there is really no way of anti-monopoly!

  Because anti-monopoly can be implemented only in the sales and processing of raw materials.

  In addition, the only way to reduce the burden on consumers is through the soul-like bargaining method.

   No way, who would let a pharmaceutical company\'s research and development capabilities decline precipitously once a split is involved?

  It doesn’t matter if Bell Laboratories is split up. The demise of those technologies will only slow down mankind’s entry into the information age. But if the pharmaceutical company is dismantled, who knows how many people will die next year?

  Angels and devils coexist in human nature. For the long-term and greater interests of society, fairness in the market...

   In fact, it can be given up.

   "I\'m Not the God of Medicine" is indeed touching, but reality and art often run counter to each other.

Of course, if Ronald Perelman feels that taking government research and development funds and orders is not a long-term business, then he can make other demands, for example, let Roland push Gilead to SIGA\'s takeover.

  Integrate your own business into a company with a military background and become a minority shareholder.

  This kind of decision can not only reduce the cost risk of developing drugs, but also allow oneself to enjoy huge benefits.

Yes!

  In Roland\'s view, this is the only industry where he can intersect with dead bald heads!

  Because the other party played finance, gambling, and security, he was not involved in any of them.

  The entertainment, games, Internet, and semiconductors he plays, the other party has either never touched it, or has already left the scene.

  In this case, the possibility of third-party transactions is quite low.

   In this way, evaluating Gilead\'s utility to him is actually the last thing before the appointment.

   And Gilead...

   To him, it was already dispensable!

Gilead, a pharmaceutical company, is not part of his strategic layout. Giving up the corresponding benefits does not have much psychological pressure on Roland at all, let alone, this kind of medical insurance that can blow up the medical insurance of major countries around the world The share of the company is not a cake that he can eat alone. One more person enters the venue and one less person enters the venue, which has no effect on him.

But when he contacted the other party with the idea of ​​making a lot of money if he succeeds, and losing money if he doesn\'t, the bald man who agreed to meet with him didn\'t do business immediately after listening to his needs, but leaned on the sofa with a smile , said in an inexplicably joyful tone:

   "So you came back this time to help George put pressure on William?

  Your decision really exceeded my expectations!

I thought that the exploitation of shale oil would be a battle between the Elephant Party representing the interests of energy giants and the Donkey Party who want to gain popular support, but I didn\'t expect that you, a guy who has nothing to do with energy development, would be involved in it ? "

When the fat-headed guy showed Roland his own happiness, the earth ball grass he was staring at shook his head and denied it: "No, no, no, why am I helping George to give me a gift?" What about William\'s pressure?

   I have no right to intervene in the struggle between the two parties.

  I am just a messenger. Whether William is willing to listen, whether he will do the work of the donkey party, and whether the donkey party is willing to compromise, these are not things I can decide, or in other words, all I can do is actually find you.

   Because after that, whether I can meet with them or not is up to you. "

Although Roland kept his stance low, Ronald Perelman no longer believed his lies, because ten years ago, this guy looked at him with a harmless smile, and then took A bunch of Marvel copyrights have been taken away.

  At first, he thought he was clearing inventory.

  But now, he understands that Marvel is really valuable.

Even if this kind of value has been reflected in the Yahoo case, he, who did not get more benefits from Marvel, made a lot of money in Microsoft\'s acquisition of Yahoo, but for capitalists, he failed to benefit the most Transformation, that is a loss.

   No matter how they make up for it in other ways, they can\'t make them ecstatic.

  However, this kind of utilitarian idea is for outsiders.

   And Roland...

All right.

  In the eyes of Ronald Perelman, Roland is at least half of himself.

   This is not because the two parties have had good cooperation, but because Roland once entrusted Zipperton with both hands.

After all, when "The Shawshank Redemption" was promoted, Roland was a bald man. Roland\'s overtures to Zipperton were equivalent to his overtures to Zipperton, and then Roland used his own news to cover up the scandal about Zipperton. , that is similar to a super doubling when shopping for vegetables. Although Roland didn\'t get any actual benefits from Zipperton, but the bald head...

   What a great harvest!

  Thinking of this, the smile on the bald man\'s face became even wider.

   "Okay, I know you\'re an actor, so stop pretending to be innocent in front of me.

  You want me to put you in touch with William?

   This is of course no problem.

   After all, we are all friends! If you\'re doing your friend a favor, you\'re doing yourself a favor! "

  When Roland saw the bald man agreeing cleanly, he knew that this guy must be planning something for himself.

   After the bald-headed Chi Guoguo told him that helping a friend is helping himself, Roland was even more convinced that the profit-seeking businessman in front of him had already thought about the reward he should get.

  However, just when Roland wanted to ask what problems he could help the other party, the bald man changed the subject and said, "But... before you contact me, I actually want to emphasize one point..."

"uh-huh?"

  The appearance of the bald head\'s pretentious posture did not exceed Roland\'s expectations.

  Because the more complicated things are, the more benefits he can seek.

   "You can say whatever you want."

   The smile on Roland\'s face did not decrease by half, because after doing enough homework, he came here for the transaction.

   After receiving Roland\'s affirmative answer, the mystifying Ronald Perelman was also very happy, because this is his own rhythm, "What I want to say is that the connection does not mean that things will happen."

\'hehe…\'

   Roland chuckled inwardly. To him, this kind of bargaining was nothing new.

  But he still cooperated and asked: "That is to say, you think it is impossible for him to agree to go directly to William?"

"Oh! Do you think he might agree?" Ronald Perelman rolled his eyes and said, "How about being sincere, if we ask around like this, it won\'t be possible to do it for a year." matter."

   Roland liked this sentence, "That\'s fine! Say what you want!"

  However, the bald head shook his head when he said this, "What do I want? Do you really think I can influence William\'s will? Don\'t be kidding, I\'m just an ordinary investor on Wall Street!"

It seemed that he didn\'t want to continue to go around with Roland, but it was more like he wanted to get his own benefits as soon as possible, so before Roland could respond, the bald man said: "Since we can talk about shale oil this year, it proves that we There is nothing to hide in a short period of time, so, the key to the matter, I will say it straight.

  You help George to bring a message to William, there is no problem with this matter.

  I will help you contact William and ask him to meet with you. There is no problem with this matter.

   But is William willing to accept? Will the donkey party stop?

  This kind of thing is not within our control.

so…

  I suggest that you get someone who can influence the will of the Donkey Party to participate in this matter. "

   "..."

  Roland curled his lips repeatedly after hearing Ronald Perelman\'s sincere suggestion.

   Let the guy who can influence the will of the donkey party participate in this matter?

  My God!

  If he can find this kind of guy, does he still need to help the small bushes to make a bridge?

   Or in other words, if he knew this kind of giant, with his temper, he would have already licked his face and rushed to call him Dad!

  Because there are only two organizations in the world that can influence the decisions of the two parties in the United States!

   On one side is "Our Partners" composed of Jewish consortia, and on the other is "Hu Feng" composed of Anglo-Saxons.

  The former supports the donkey party all the year round, led by Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers.

  The latter supports the Elephant Party all the year round, consisting of Morgan Stanley, First Boston and Brown Brothers Harriman.

   But even if Roland knew that these guys could influence the will of the two parties, even if he could recite all the names of these guys, it would be useless! Because he doesn\'t know any of them!

  Knowing that Goldman Sachs has come forward, the donkey party will definitely pass the shale oil exploitation bill?

Come on…

  Where did he go to invite people from Goldman Sachs?

  Knowing that Lehman Brothers has come forward, the donkey party will definitely sit down and listen to the needs of the small bushes?

Do not make jokes…

  Even if Lehman Brothers has entered the countdown to bankruptcy, but before that, it is still a giant!

  How is Roland left and right?

  So, in his opinion, the opinion of the bald head is tantamount to nonsense.

  Because the power is not under his control, it has no effect!

   And he also believes that these guys are absolutely impossible to do **** business with him.

so-

   "No, can you say something constructive?" Since the bald head made him more sincere, he said bluntly, "If I could invite Goldman Sachs, would I still sit in front of you?

Do not make jokes!

  William was already in Washington when George begged me for help.

   Oh no! It was when I wanted to shoot "House of Cards" that the project was already approved! "

   While speaking, he sighed forcefully and shook his head.

  The swollen look made the bald head smile.

  Although he knew that Roland was telling the truth, but...

   What he said is actually a constructive opinion!

   "You can\'t reach Goldman Sachs?"

   "Aren\'t you talking nonsense?"

   "But I can..."

   "?"

   Roland was startled.

  When he frowned and cast a strange look at the other party, his bald head was already lighting a cigar, and he was smiling very happily.

   "Actually, before you came to me, someone had already come to me and wanted to get in touch with you through me.

   One of them is called Guggenheim.

  The other is called Goldman Sachs. "

   Ronald Perelman winked at Roland.

  The smile that flashed in his pupils made Roland frown.

   Note: ①McAndrews and Forbes are a diversified investment company, which is 100% controlled by Ronald Perelman. The type is actually Berkshire Hathaway, but the name is a bit strange. ② Ronald Perelman\'s most valuable industry is actually not Revlon as the media hyped, but scientific games. His real industry is actually gambling, not cosmetics at all. Not only that, he also holds 50% of the shares of BJ Gold Nippon. As for what this company does... Just look through the purchasing lists and technical support of welfare lottery distribution centers in various provinces. ③Ask the government to use money for research and development is the favorite thing for American pharmaceutical companies to do. Now these pharmaceutical factories are getting up like this. ④The Brown Brothers Harriman mentioned in the article is the same bank as the father-in-law of his father\'s father-in-law who wrote Little Bush before.
