What if I have some money as an online car-hailing driver?

After dinner, Yang Chen and Zhang Jingyi watched the musical fountain together.

Afterwards, the two walked to the West Lake Four Seasons Hotel together.

"Can I ask why you asked me to cooperate?" Yang Chen asked.

Zhang Jingyi smashed Yang Chen's arm with her little pink fist, and said, "Your figure makes me feel very safe. To be honest, I really wouldn't dare to earn this money with him if I was a person with average physical fitness." Money. 5000 yuan is quite a lot, but it’s not worth it if you get scared out of something, and it’s not enough to see a doctor.”

Yang Chen: "Oh, that's how it is. It looks like it's good to be stronger, I can get opportunities that others can't get."

Zhang Jingyi: "Haha... Of course. Handsome and strong boys are very popular, and many girls have no resistance to such boys."

Yang Chen: "Really? Then I don't see any girls who can't resist me."

Zhang Jingyi: "Who said that? I have no resistance to you, otherwise I wouldn't invite you to earn the 5000 yuan with me. I hope you are a good person. If you are a bad person, then I will be a sheep and a tiger. Looking for a way to die."

Yang Chen: "Haha... Our Dragon Kingdom is a society ruled by law, and there are not so many bad people."

Zhang Jingyi: "Listen to the accent, where are you from? It's a bit like a Haicheng person, but also a bit of a Beijing flavor."

Yang Chen: "It seems that you have some special skills in traveling around. I am indeed from Haicheng, but now I live in the capital, and occasionally wander around in other cities."

Zhang Jingyi: "That's right, I have traveled far and wide and seen a lot. I have been to every city in our country, and I can basically tell where the other party is from by their accent."

The two came to the Four Seasons Hotel after chatting.

Yang Chen went through the check-in procedures, and the room was next door to Zhang Jingyi.

The two bid farewell at the door and entered their respective rooms.

Just as Yang Chen came out of the shower, Qiu Yuhong called him.

Qiu Yuhong: "Mr. Yang, the intelligence department reported just now that the Qin Sect sent 12 people to assassinate you, and also launched all the eyeliner channels to search for you in Haicheng City."

Yang Chen: "The Qin Sect is determined to stand up for Qin Lang. I really appreciate their unity. Keep an eye on those 12 people and let them disappear from the world."

Qiu Yuhong: "What about the rest of the Qin Sect? Especially Qin Sitong, Qin Huang, and Qin Lang, how should we deal with the three of them?"

Yang Chen: "Qin Huang and Qin Lang still come according to the original plan, borrow their money first, and then create the illusion that they and Gao Qiguo are fighting because of old grievances, so that the Qin family and the Gao family will go to Huangquan hand in hand. As for Qin Sitong , don’t move for now, I’ll talk to him face to face when I’m done with what I’m doing. However, you have to give him some warnings so that he won’t act rashly again.”

Qiu Yuhong: "Okay, I see. Oh, by the way, they also reported that Wang Simiao and Qin Sitong have been getting closer recently."

Yang Chen: "Wang Simiao? How old is Qin Sitong?"

Qiu Yuhong: "80."

Yang Chen: "Oh, I understand. Qin Sitong is borrowing it to Qin Lang to get ahead, but it is actually aimed at my blood. Wang Simiao's vicious thing must say that my body is strong, and blood has the effect of prolonging life. He recently walked with Qin Sitong Being close, there is a high probability that Qin Sitong was persuaded to catch me and use my blood to prolong Qin Sitong's life."

Qiu Yuhong: "That's outrageous! Since they have such vicious thoughts, none of them can stay. I don't think Mr. Yang, you should stop meeting Qin Sitong, we just get rid of it."

Yang Chen thought for a few seconds, and felt that there was really no need to meet Qin Sitong.

Then follow Qiu Yuhong's intention.

The "Assassin" of Xingchen Defense made a move, Yang Chen was still very relieved.

It's getting late, Yang Chen put down his phone and prepared to sleep.

Just a little bit sleepy in a daze, Zhang Jingyi knocked on Yang Chen's door with a fruit platter.

"Brother Chen, haven't you slept yet? Give it to you to eat." Zhang Jingyi smiled and offered it with both hands.

Yang Chen: "No, no. I don't eat before going to bed, and I've already brushed my teeth. Although I'm just an online car-hailing driver, I'm still very strict with my living habits and other aspects."

Zhang Jingyi: "It can be seen that she is not a person who is very strict with herself. It is impossible to have such a perfect body. It is good not to eat, but the fruit is a bit cold, which is not conducive to sleep. Then you should rest and remember to come back early tomorrow night. "

Yang Chen nodded, and said: "Don't worry, I definitely want to experience the work of a sleep tester."

Zhang Jingyi: "Hee hee... OK. Good night then."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, watching Zhang Jingyi return to the room before closing the door to sleep.

Yang Chen made an appointment with Mayor Liu to meet at three o'clock in the afternoon. He had nothing to do in the morning, so he drove out to solicit customers.

Originally, Yang Chen was in a good mood, so he changed to another city to experience different customs.

But as soon as he picked up two passengers, Yang Chen received a call from Li Enbei.

Li Enbei: "Mr. Yang, Mayor Liu called us just now and told us to go to the city hall now. The people from MSD went to the city hall to speak ill of us, and Mayor Liu asked us to explain it to them face to face."

Yang Chen: "They're really trying to kill you! I was thinking about cleaning them up after I'm done, but they came to mess with me first. Okay, I'll go there now, and we'll meet up at the gate of the city hall later."

Li Enbei: "Okay, then I will go there now. See you later."

Brother Da Ma said before that he would go to the city hall with Yang Chen to meet Mayor Liu, and Yang Chen also informed him last night to go to the city hall at three o'clock this afternoon.

Now that the time has changed temporarily, Yang Chen still has to say hello to Brother Big Ma.

Yang Chen hurriedly found a place to park, and immediately called Brother Big Ma.

Da Ma: "Hey, Mr. Yang, what's the matter?"

Yang Chen: "Just now the city government came to notify, saying that Merck and the others were going to sue me, and Mayor Liu asked me to come over now. Didn't I tell you last night that we would meet at three o'clock this afternoon? I have to tell you something."

Brother Da Ma: "That's it. Then I'll go over now, and we'll see you at the gate of the city hall."

Yang Chen: "I mean, if it's not convenient for you, don't go."

Brother Da Ma: "I'm very free now, and I don't have so much to do. Since we have agreed to meet Mayor Liu together, of course I will do what I say. I'm leaving now, and I'll see you at the gate of the city hall later."

Yang Chen: "All right. See you later."

After more than 40 minutes, Yang Chen came to the city hall. ,

At this time, Li Enbei and Brother Da Ma have arrived, and they are chatting.

Yang Chen parked the car, and went up to greet the two of them.

Brother Da Ma smiled and said: "Mr. Li told me about the matter between you and Merck, how will Mr. Yang plan to deal with them?"

Yang Chen: "Since they took the initiative to provoke a dispute, then I will definitely accept their challenge. Didn't Thomas tell me to short Merck, then I will fulfill his wish."

Brother Da Ma: "Shorting Merck is not easy. It is an international pharmaceutical giant, and many domestic pharmaceutical companies rely on it to survive. How do you short?"

Yang Chen: "As long as I am willing, there is no company in this world that I cannot short."

Brother Big Ma: "Haha...then I want to see how Mr. Yang can do Kongmoshadong this time, and learn how to invest with you."

Yang Chen: "Haha... Pull it down. Go, go in and find them."

The three entered the city hall together and met Mayor Liu.

Mayor Liu didn't expect Yang Chen to bring Brother Big Ma, and his expression was a bit complicated.

As we all know, Brother Da Ma's status in Hangzhou is extraordinary, and Mayor Liu should also be in awe.

Back then, Da Ma complained about the traffic jam in Hangzhou, and the former mayor immediately stated that he would solve the traffic jam in Hangzhou within ten years.

Only when Big Brother is happy can Hangcheng be happy.

"I didn't expect Mr. Yang to invite Mr. Ma." Mayor Liu said with a smile.

Brother Da Ma hurriedly explained: "No, no, I asked to follow. I haven't seen Mayor Liu for a while, so I took this opportunity to come and see you."

Mayor Liu: "Haha... Mr. Ma has a heart. Then you want to participate?"

Yang Chen: "Boss Ma, let's listen together, anyway, it's not something shameful."

Brother Da Ma: "Haha... President Yang doesn't mind, so I'll go and listen to it. Anyway, it's okay when I'm free, so I just listen to the story. I will remember the wonderful ones, and forget about the not wonderful ones."

Mayor Liu nodded with a smile, took them to the small conference room, and explained that no one is allowed to approach the small conference room, otherwise they will be demoted.

The Merck delegation is still the same people as yesterday, and the leader is still the factory director Thomas.

Mayor Liu: "You have all met, so I won't introduce it. I just sit in and don't express my opinions. You two can negotiate on your own."

Yang Chen called Mr. Ma and Li Dong to sit down, leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Thomas and his group with a little contempt.

Thomas said very directly: "I have already told Mayor Liu about my attitude. If Enba Pharmaceuticals cannot fulfill the verbal agreement reached by the two parties, Merck will prohibit all companies in Longguo from producing all of our products. Even if It is a product that has passed the patent period, and Longguo's company can't produce it. Otherwise, we have ways to make Longguo's pharmaceutical companies pay the price. We have a healthy competitive relationship with Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and other companies, involving our common interests. They will definitely stand with us at MSD. If you don’t believe me, you can try it.”

It seems that Thomas still doesn't understand why Yang Chen insists on not using their product patents, insisting on independent research and development, otherwise he would never have said the words just now.

Yang Chen sneered, and said: "Your attitude and words just now are the reason why I insist on independent research and development and never use patents from foreign companies. If one day you have the products we have, you still dare to speak out here? You The more aggressive I am, the more I have to stick to my attitude. Now I can tell you clearly that Enbei Pharmaceutical will not use the patents of any foreign pharmaceutical companies. At worst, stop working. We develop a product independently, and we will Open a production line. I have a lot of money and can afford workers. If you want to use this to threaten me, then you have miscalculated. In addition, I have to tell you that the money for my free workers must be earned from you Merck come over."

Thomas: "I really don't understand. There are ready-made things that can be used. Why do you have to spend so much money on research? And no one can guarantee that you will succeed in research and development. It is likely to be a waste of time and money. You Can you manage a company? You don’t start a company to make money, but to compete?”

Yang Chen: "Hey, by the way, I'm not interested in money now, I just like to compete with some awesome companies and people. Especially you foreign companies, who have taken advantage of us for so many years and made a lot of money You are full of money, but you still backstab us from time to time. I just can't understand your white-eyed wolf behavior, and I have to be serious with you to the end."

Thomas: "Arrogant, overestimated! Who do you think you are? If you say you can compete with us, you can compete with us!"

Yang Chen: "Don't be arrogant, I'll grow old when I step on a horse. That's fine, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, I've said everything I want to say. Go back and report to your headquarters, I want to get tens of billions from the Merck Group to support me Workers. I’m going to show you my cards now, let’s see how you play them. Mayor Liu, let’s talk over here.”

Mayor Liu was staring at Yang Chen the whole time, what Yang Chen said just now deeply touched him.

I think he was also a person with ideals and ambitions when he was young, dreaming of making Dragon Kingdom stand up in front of people all over the world.

It's just that as I get older, the ideals of the past have gradually faded away.

Fortunately, he saw his former self in Yang Chen.

only……

If Yang Chen is so tough with Merck, the consequences may really be serious.

Appreciation is appreciation, the stakes still need to be made clear to Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, I admire your ideas, and I hope you can get what you want. However, I still have to tell you a few words. Many domestic pharmaceutical companies do rely on Merck and other international pharmaceutical giants to survive. A small move may be a catastrophe for these domestic pharmaceutical companies, and the consequences are too serious. For example, Zhifei Biological, 100% of its revenue is contributed by Merck’s products. If Merck suspends their authorization, Zhifei Feibio’s more than 10,000 billion profits and [-] billion market value will collapse overnight, the hard-earned money of [-]+ stockholders will be gone, and tens of thousands of employees may lose their jobs. I know that from your point of view, you don’t need to consider these issues. But from the point of view of the government, these issues must be considered. Do you understand what I mean?"

Even if Zhifei Bio's market value of [-] billion collapsed overnight, it would not have any impact on Yang Chen, and he would not blink his eyelids.

But for the government, this is a big problem, because it involves hundreds of billions of funds and the work of tens of thousands of employees.

If it really gets to this point, governments at all levels will definitely favor Merck, requiring Yang Chen to accept Merck's product patents and stop the research and development of similar drugs.

It sounds magical, but it is reality.

Brother Da Ma looked solemn and said: "Mr. Yang should understand these principles, so you should be more cautious. Don't be as high-spirited as I was back then, but now you have to deliberately restrain yourself. The government always considers the interests of the majority of people, and most of the time it will Sacrificing the interests of a few people to satisfy the interests of the majority. For example, demolition, there will often be problems of nail households, but demolition still has to be done. If we don’t do demolition, how can we build high-speed rail, high-speed, high-rise buildings to develop the economy? If we want to take care of the minority People’s interests are not involved, and we may still be stuck 30 years ago.”

If it was Yang Chen five years ago, he would definitely not have considered these issues, and his ideological awareness would not have considered issues at this level.

But now he has to think about it. There is a saying of moral kidnapping that is very good, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If due to personal grievances, domestic pharmaceutical companies have closed down one after another, and tens of thousands of employees lose their jobs, he will also be worried. Can't bear it.

However, he was still unwilling to give in.

Yang Chen: "Thomas, why don't we make a bet, if I win, follow my opinion, if I lose, follow your wishes. I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have to stand on the government's side Think about it. If it really pushes me into a hurry, I just don’t care about the life and death of those pharmaceutical companies, and no one can do anything about me. So, let’s use this bet to decide who has the final say. How?”

Thomas: "What bet?"

Yang Chen: "I just said that I want to short Merck. If I succeed in shorting, you are not allowed to do anything else. If I fail in shorting, I will immediately sign a contract with you and suspend all research and development work that conflicts with your patents."

Thomas: "Haha... OK! Don't say we bully you, I will give you this chance. However, we have to set a profit standard. Unnormal stock price fluctuations can also be considered as successful shorting, right?"

Yang Chen nodded.

Thomas: "In this way, as long as you can make a profit of more than 100 billion yuan by shorting Merck's stock price, we will count you as a winner. If you can't make such a profit, you will lose."

Mayor Liu, Brother Da Ma, Li Enbei, and other personnel from MSD all thought that Yang Chen would refuse, but to their surprise, Yang Chen accepted the standard of 100 billion yuan in profit without any hesitation.

"No problem! If you can't make a profit of 100 billion meters by shorting MSD stock, I will let you handle it!" Yang Chen said very confidently.

Thomas: "Haha... good! You will definitely pay a heavy price for your arrogance!"

Yang Chen accepted Thomas' request so casually, but he surprised Li Enbei, Mayor Liu, and Brother Da Ma.

Li Enbei hurriedly asked: "Mr. Yang, are you a little impulsive? Merck is not easy to short, I really can't find any reason to short. And to make a profit of 100 billion gold, this standard is too high."

Mayor Liu also quickly persuaded: "Mr. Yang, this kind of thing does not involve being brave. If you lose, your reputation will be ruined. And... I don't know if they will make extra demands on you Woolen cloth."

Brother Da Ma also felt that 100 billion rice gold was too much, and persuaded: "Mr. Yang, I don't know why you are so confident. However, I think any investment should be evaluated after in-depth and careful investigation. You have not prepared anything. , Agreeing in one bite, isn’t it a bit too hasty? It’s not that I don’t believe in your ability, but I think it’s better to be more cautious.”

Obviously, none of the three of them could understand why Yang Chen was so impulsive.

Thomas laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Yang, did you hear that? Mayor Liu, Mr. Ma, and Mr. Li all dislike you. I think you should stop wasting your time and just admit defeat. We won't treat you either." The additional request is just to honor the verbal agreement reached with us before. In the future, you can use our product patents with peace of mind like Zhifei Biological and other companies, and just don’t do your own research and development.”

Mad, Yang Chen just doesn't want to do this kind of begging, and Thomas wants to force him to do it, isn't it just for money.

Yang Chen: "Let's judge heroes by the results. It's meaningless to talk nonsense. That's it, it's settled like this. The results will be released before Double Eleven. Let's go, Mayor Liu and I have other things to discuss .”

Thomas sneered and left with the team.

Mayor Liu sent them away, and then ran back quickly.

At this time, Brother Da Ma and Li Enbei are persuading Yang Chen to think about it again, this is a big deal.

Mayor Liu also hurriedly said: "Mr. Yang, are you really not afraid of losing? At least so far, your image is flawless in everyone's hearts. But if you lose this time, your image will be ruined." .”

Yang Chen: "I still care about this? Few people know me, so I don't care what they think of me? Alright, let's not talk about this kind of bet that is sure to win but not lose, let's talk about the relocation of Enbei Pharmaceutical's headquarters thing."

Mayor Liu, Big Brother, Li Enbei: "..."

A sure-win bet?
So, why did he dare to be so confident?
