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

The effect of Star Investment's announcement was very obvious. The pharmaceutical sector rose instantly, and the stocks that had fallen sharply or even reached the limit before rose in red. The mood and account balance of shareholders experienced a roller coaster-like change.

But those retail investors who can’t hold back and sell are not so lucky. They sold when they fell sharply, and now they dare not chase after the big rise. Even if they recover, they will increase the cost. The status quo of many retail investors' stocks, chasing ups and downs, the rhythm is wrong, and all their hard-earned money is lost.

"I'm super, I don't have a life to make money. Just a few minutes after I sold it, Star Investment made an announcement."

"Fortunately, I insisted on trusting Boss Yang and resisted the urge to sell."

"Haha... I made a lot of money. I made 20 points a day. I told you to sell me to buy. I believe Boss Yang will fight back. Comfortable, go to the clubhouse to have fun at night, I will call four! "

……

However, the pulling back of the pharmaceutical industry does not mean that all stocks have risen. The stock of pharmaceutical companies such as Zhifei Biological, which relies on Merck for [-]% of its revenue, is still blocked by the lower limit, but other pharmaceutical stocks that have been implicated have been pulled back.

The representatives of the few pharmaceutical companies represented by Zhifei Biology who cannot do without Merck immediately expressed their protest to the local government, hoping that the government would intervene to mediate the conflict between Yang Chen and Merck, so that their companies would not suffer heavy losses.

This is Merck's confidence, and it is also the reason why Yang Chen chose to bet to decide who has the final say on both sides, because these companies will definitely put pressure on the government departments, and then put pressure on Yang Chen.

They never want to change the status quo, as long as they can make money, even if they are manipulated by Merck, there is no problem.

No, Star Investment has received calls from various governments, hoping that they can reconcile with Merck and not affect other companies because of their conflicts.

Jinming replied that this is a normal business practice and will not settle with Merck.

Merck prohibits other companies from using patents, which is a problem between Merck and other companies, and has nothing to do with Star Investment, and Star Investment does not assume any responsibility for this.

Jin Ming even tactfully reminded them why they didn't want to think that a statement from Merck could determine the life and death of those companies, but instead came to trouble an irrelevant Star Investment?
Government departments from all over the country can't talk about Star Investment, so they can only communicate with the Haicheng government. After all, Yang Chen's base camp is in Haicheng. They hope that the Haicheng government can communicate with Yang Chen, so as not to hurt other companies by mistake.

Mayor Chen said yes, but he would not send them a message at all.

The few pharmaceutical companies that survived on Merck are gone, and there are other pharmaceutical companies that can replace them.

If Yang Chen is angry and leaves, no one can replace him.

Mayor Chen sees clearly which is more important.

The conflict between Yang Chen and Merck quickly spread throughout the Internet, and major media followed up with reports.

Longguo Pharmaceutical News: The pharmaceutical industry has suffered heavy losses. The international pharmaceutical giant Merck suddenly announced that it will prohibit Longguo pharmaceutical companies from using the company's patents to produce medicines.If the ban takes effect, Zhifei Biotech, which relies on Merck for [-]% of its revenue, will encounter a major crisis.At present, Star Investment has declared war on Merck, and the company will officially short Merck.

Financial Times: Affected by Merck’s ban announcement, the pharmaceutical sector first suffered heavy losses and plummeted as a whole. Later, under the influence of Star Investment’s announcement, it pulled back and rose sharply. As of the close, the pharmaceutical sector rose 3.05%.However, [-]% of the revenue depends on Merck’s Zhifei Biotech, Menova, which has just signed a contract with Merck, and other companies that rely on Merck for their survival are not so lucky, and their stock prices are locked at the limit.Star Investment has officially declared war on Merck, and I don't know if Boss Yang can shake this international pharmaceutical giant this time.It's just that the domestic pharmaceutical companies have suffered, and they may have to go through a difficult time.

There was a lot of trouble here in the Dragon Kingdom, and naturally it soon spread to the United States, and even the whole world.

For example, netizens from various countries on Youtube are expressing their views on this matter.

Longguo netizen: "It is said that this time Merck asked Boss Yang to accept Enbei Pharmaceuticals, which had just acquired them, to accept their patents and stop independent research and development. Boss Yang firmly disagreed, and Merck used this method to force him to agree. Originally, Boss Yang and Merck The side set up a bet, but I don’t know why it was suddenly canceled. In short, this time the two sides have torn their faces openly, and a winner must be determined. As for the pharmaceutical companies in Longguo that rely on Merck for their survival, in my opinion, it’s okay to go bankrupt , Anyway, anyone in the foundry can do it, and companies without independent research and development capabilities should have the awareness to be replaced at any time."

American netizen: "Is it Yang Chen from Xingchen Investment? The capital crocodile who harvested our banking industry? The one that Buffett is willing to bow down to? I thought Merck would definitely win, but their opponent this time is Yang Chen. I’m about to change my mind. I think Xingchen Investment will win in the end, and I don’t know how to win, but I can follow Xingchen Investment to short Merck and follow suit.”

Netizen from Bangzi Kingdom: "Yang Chen is getting more and more arrogant. He messing around with the capital fashion will not bring much trouble to the country. But he has offended the giants of international pharmaceutical companies, so what kind of medicine do Long Kingdom people take? Humanism does not ban the sale of medicines in the Dragon Kingdom, but the people of the Dragon Kingdom must pay a high price to buy medicines. Originally, the Dragon Kingdom was expensive to see a doctor, and it was difficult to see a doctor. With Yang Chen doing this, the people of the Dragon Kingdom will suffer even more. And I don’t think that Yang Chen’s This time we can win Merck, because Merck really has confidence and capital.”

A Sanguo netizen: "You did a great job, Yang Chen, it really impressed me, he dared to take action against Merck. Don't worry, if Merck and other companies ban the sale of drugs in Longguo, our country will have substitutes. The whole world knows about our country The medicines available here are unrestricted, you can do whatever you want, and it’s cheap.”

Netizen Maoxiong: "You did a good job, my friend from Longguo. These international giants are making waves all over the world and have earned countless gold and silver treasures, but they still threaten people with life-saving drugs. It is really despicable and shameless. I don’t have any humanity. I think the high-tech restrictions are understandable, but threatening life-saving things such as medicine and food is inhuman. I hope Yang Chen can win, and these pharmaceutical companies must succumb.”

French netizen: "Yang Chen is a little impulsive this time. He doesn't care about the safety of the people of the Dragon Kingdom at all, and is purely motivated. Even if he succeeds in short selling in the end, so what? Do the people of the Dragon Kingdom still have medicine? It is completely irresponsible, and I think the people of Longguo should unite to condemn him."

……

Foreign media issued relevant reports overnight.

New York Times: After several days of silence, Xingchen Investment made another move. This time they aimed at the pharmaceutical giant Merck.The reason was that Yang Chen was unwilling to abide by the established order, refused to use Merck's patents, and insisted on independent research and development, which severely disrupted the established order of the pharmaceutical market.Of course, Merck wanted to teach him a lesson, so he declared that Longguo pharmaceutical companies were prohibited from using Merck's patents.In response, Star Investment stated that it shorted Merck.As we all know, many drugs around the world are developed by companies such as Merck, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson.If this matter is not resolved, Long Kingdom may no longer be able to use these commonly seen medicines, which will definitely be a huge harm to the people of Long Kingdom.Yang Chen, are you ready to apologize?
Mi Associated Press: This world is about rules and order. If you don’t follow the rules and order, you will be punished.The boss of Xingchen Investment, Yang Chen, is unwilling to abide by Merck's rules, and the conflict between the two parties has become irreconcilable.At present, Merck issued an announcement prohibiting Longguo's pharmaceutical companies from using their patents, and in response to Star Investment's announcement, it officially shorted Merck.The two parties have publicly torn faces, and Xingchen Investment stated that there is no possibility of any reconciliation, which means that there must be a winner.But for Merck, even if they lose, they can still threaten to withdraw from Longguo, and Longguo will definitely try their best to keep them, and even offer more favorable conditions.That being the case, is it necessary for Star Investment to win?
……

Judging from the comments of foreign netizens and media reports, they all confirmed the fact that Longguo cannot lose Merck, or that Longuo cannot find a way to replace Merck.

Therefore, they will come to the conclusion that even if Merck loses the duel with Yang Chen, in the end Longguo will still use more favorable conditions to keep Merck. The result is that Merck loses but never loses, and Yang Chen wins but never wins.

But what they don't know is that Yang Chen already has a process that can replace Merck's full range of products. It would be better for Merck to withdraw from the Longguo market. Enbei Pharmaceuticals will directly take over Merck's original market share.

Mayor Liu of Hangzhou called Yang Chen and asked, "President Yang, what are you doing? Have you read the news?"

Yang Chen: "The sports car is soliciting customers. What news?"

Mayor Liu: "My God, my Mr. Yang, you've poked a hole in the sky, and you still have the mood to solicit customers in a sports car. Are you not afraid of the consequences being so serious that you can't afford it?"

Yang Chen: "No... Why didn't I understand it a little bit? What day did I poke a hole out?"

Mayor Liu: "The matter between you and Merck. Now even foreigners know about it, and the foreign media are rushing to report it. You played big this time."

Yang Chen: "It was meant to be a big game. Do you think I'd be interested in playing a small game?"

Mayor Liu: "I really can't understand your thinking. You insist on shorting Merck, and you want to make a guaranteed profit of 100 billion yuan, but you canceled the bet with Merck. Then what's the point of you winning?" What? Don’t we still have to be threatened by them with patents? At that time, if you win, it’s the same as if you didn’t win. If you don’t know how much profit you make, how much money we have to pay others, they will be willing to continue to let our medicine Enterprises use their patents. Can’t you consider these issues? I told you that you can’t just consider this matter from your personal perspective, you have to consider it from the macro perspective of the government and the people. It is impossible for people at your level Don't understand these principles?"

Yang Chen: "If I didn't understand these principles, I would have already done things according to my own ideas, and I still need to go to great lengths to deal with them in such a useless way? According to my usual style of doing things, he dared to say the first sentence to me I have already sentenced them to death when they spoke rudely. Now I know it’s uncomfortable to be manipulated by others. Why did you go there before? Why didn’t you develop it yourself? Zhifei Biotech earns 100 billion a year. Money for research and development? Why did the money go? Every day you wait to eat the leftovers from other people’s charity. If someone is unhappy and won’t give it to you, you will blame the people around you for being unhappy instead of yourself I don’t want to do manual labor. It’s really ridiculous. I’m driving, so I won’t tell you. I can bear any consequences of this matter, and I don’t need anyone to worry about it. Hang up.”

Yang Chen was very angry, so he stopped the car and drank a bottle of water to calm down.

And it was getting late, he had to go to the Ali Gaba headquarters to attend the important shareholder banquet organized by President Ma.

At seven o'clock, Yang Chen came to Ali Gaba's headquarters.

Mr. Ma has already arranged for someone to wait at the gate. After Yang Chen revealed his identity, the staff took him directly to the executive restaurant.

Because tonight is just an informal shareholder exchange meeting, and Mr. Ma did not make it particularly formal. Everyone sits together to eat, drink, and exchange views on Ali Gaba, the current Dragon Kingdom, and the development of the world economy. There is no need to vote. what motion.

Seeing Yang Chen coming, Mr. Ma hurried over to greet him.

"Mr. Yang, good evening. Everyone is waiting for you to come over, and I want to hear how you plan to resolve the conflict between Merck." Big Brother said with a smile.

Yang Chen: "Didn't I express it very clearly, I just want to be Kongmoshadong."

At this moment, Boss Cai, who had just returned from the country of America, came over and shook hands with Yang Chen to say hello.

"Hi Mr. Yang, I'm glad to meet you. If Mr. Yang doesn't make a move, it will be earth-shattering. After a few months of silence, a big one suddenly came."

Yang Chen: "Hello Boss Cai, you are very busy. I watched you watch the NBA game a few days ago, and you came to Hangzhou today."

Boss Cai: "Haha...basketball is just a hobby, work is more important."

At this time, Sun Zhengyi, Ali Gaba's most important shareholder, came over.

Mr. Ma was worried that Yang Chen didn't know him, so he hurriedly introduced him to the two of them.

Sun Zhengyi: "Mr. Yang, I have admired your name for a long time. I didn't expect Mr. Yang to make such a big commotion today. It's really shocking. As the saying goes, since ancient times, heroes make young people. This is very suitable for Mr. Yang. "

Yang Chen: "Boss Sun is too polite. If you want to say that the hero is you, I have heard your stories since I was a child. I said that you have a unique vision. You have led Softbank to invest in many big companies and made a lot of money. With you In comparison, I'm just playing house."

Sun Zhengyi: "Haha... Mr. Yang, please don't embarrass me. It took me so many years to accumulate such a little wealth. Mr. Yang has accumulated wealth that cannot be counted in the past few years. I am not qualified to compare with Mr. Yang."

Yang Chen: "Boss Sun is too modest, excessive modesty is pride."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Brother Da Ma hurriedly introduced other shareholders to Yang Chen, and then invited everyone to sit down and chat while eating.

"Today I mainly want to share with shareholders my views on the company and economic development. It's not a formal banquet or a general meeting of shareholders. Don't be disgusted, just eat something casually. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely set up a table for everyone." Brother Big Ma said with a smile.

Boss Cai: "Isn't the opportunity right in front of you? When Mr. Yang succeeds in shorting Merck, Mr. Ma will set up a table and invite everyone to gather for Mr. Yang to celebrate."

Sun Zhengyi: "Haha... I think it's okay, this opportunity is very suitable. Mr. Yang, you must win. We are all waiting for the banquet."

Yang Chen: "I'm super, you made it seem like I'm going to be cold."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Yang Yuan, president of Yahu, said with a smile: "I read the opinions of the American side, and basically think that Merck is sure to win this time. Even if Mr. Yang succeeds in shorting Merck, Merck can come back with Longguo for more benefits. The ending is that Merck lost and didn't lose, and Mr. Yang won and didn't win. If Mr. Yang loses, the consequences will be more serious, and all the honors accumulated before will be lost. Mr. Yang, what do you think of this view? Woolen cloth?"

Yang Chen: "I didn't put Merck in my eyes at all. I don't think there will be a situation where I won and didn't win, and Merck lost and didn't lose. There is only one result, and I must win."

"Haha..." The bosses laughed.

Brother Da Ma: "What you need is this confidence. Come, let's raise a glass to cheer for Mr. Yang. I will officially hold a banquet to celebrate the launch of Merck."

Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip.

After some inconsequential pleasantries, everyone started talking about Ali Gaba and the current domestic and international economic situation.

Except for Yang Chen, everyone else is pessimistic. The domestic and international economies are in a mess, and the international situation is unstable, which adds to everyone's worries.

But Yang Chen didn't think so, he felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Why do you say that?
Due to the intensification of international competition, many high-tech products are restricted, and the government and enterprises are actively engaged in independent research and development. The current stage should be the most suitable for research and development in the history of Longguo.

For example, in order to develop industries such as semiconductors and new energy vehicles, the state actually spends real money to subsidize the active research and development of enterprises.

People all over the country have now clearly recognized the fact that only what they have can be considered practical, and it is always unsafe to use other people's things. If others are happy, they will let you use them, and if they are unhappy, they will immediately restrict them. You have nothing to do with them.

Entrepreneurs are also active in their actions. Although some people step on the horse purely to cheat the state's subsidies, doing it is better than not doing it well. If you do it, you have half the chance of success, and if you don't do it, the chance of success is zero.

The commercialization of any research results produced in the past will encounter great resistance. The first to bear the brunt is the pressure from foreign companies. They will lower the price or even give it to Longguo for free, so as to suppress the new research results of Longuo.

It’s different now. As long as there are new research results that can replace foreign technologies, the state will actively guide them into commercialization and replace the products and technologies of foreign companies.

The word "decoupling" has been mentioned repeatedly in international relations. If you want to decouple from others, you must first have technologies and products that can replace others.

Generally speaking, Yang Chen thinks that now is the best opportunity for Long Country entrepreneurs.

Seize the opportunity, decades later, Longguo's brand will also become "Siemens", "GM", "Panasonic", "Johnson & Johnson" and so on.

If you can't seize the opportunity, you can only survive on the charity of others.

The bosses at the scene were all lost in thought. Crisis, danger and opportunity coexist. They only saw the danger, but ignored the opportunity.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that most of them did not regard Long Kingdom as the base camp of the main battlefield, so naturally they would not have the idea of ​​this direction.

Yang Chen has the heart of the Dragon Kingdom, and will always be rooted in the Dragon Kingdom. He must give priority to considering issues from the perspective of the Dragon Kingdom, so he thinks this is an opportunity.

As long as your products are good enough, such as quantum chips, the whole world will snap them up, and there is no need to deliberately cater to foreign markets.

However, other shareholders want to take into account both Longguo and foreign markets, which causes them to worry about gains and losses, deliberately pay attention to the big environmental issues, and then draw a crisis-ridden conclusion.

Big brother: "Mr. Yang's ideas are indeed different, and it may be because of this that Mr. Yang can do things that none of us can do, and achieve results that none of us can achieve. Let's not talk about macroeconomics. I would like to ask Mr. Yang what he thinks about the development focus of Ali Gaba in the next few years."

Yang Chen: "I've never asked about company management, Mr. Ma, are you embarrassing me? With so many experienced business leaders present, I'm not doing my best."

Brother Da Ma: "Haha... Mr. Yang was joking, let's just chat and talk casually."

Yang Chen: "Then I'll just say it. I think Ali Gaba's focus in the next few years should be Taobao, not Tmall. In other words, it should develop civilian consumption and weaken the investment in the high-end consumer market. As everyone As the boss just said, the world’s economy is in a mess, and everyone’s expectations are not good. Everyone is ready to live a hard life, so naturally they dare not spend more. Therefore, Taobao ten years ago and today’s fight Xixi will become more popular, and the share of so-called high-end online shopping malls such as Tmall and Goudong will definitely drop a lot.”

Brother Da Ma nodded and said: "I have the same opinion as Mr. Yang. The focus of development in the next few years should be in the low-end market, and the investment in the high-end market should be greatly reduced. The current international situation is indeed very unclear, and foreign trade cannot be done well. , can only develop domestic demand, but ordinary people have no money to spend, so they can only choose low-end products to meet basic living needs.”

Being able to have the same idea as President Ma, it seems that Yang Chen has something.

Sun Zhengyi asked with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Yang's judgment on the economy is very accurate. What do you think of the economy of our island country?"

Yang Chen: "I don't have any opinion, I don't know much about that side."

Sun Zhengyi was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang has never thought of entering the island market?"

Yang Chen shook his head, and said, "I haven't thought about it. Not only the island country market, but also the markets of other countries, I don't deliberately want to go. I always ask foreigners to come and ask me to cooperate with them."

"Haha... Mr. Yang is really temperamental, and he speaks more directly." Big Ma quickly smoothed things over.

After all, several of the shareholders at the scene are foreigners. Even Boss Cai and Yahu Yang, who are the faces of Longguo, are also foreign nationalities. Yang Chen really does not give them face by talking like this.

However, Yang Chen is telling the truth. He really does not take the initiative to develop foreign markets, and it is true that foreigners rush to cooperate with him, such as quantum chips, and rain bombs with a range of [-] kilometers. Xingchen Technology will receive them every day. Call hundreds of companies and governments from abroad to seek cooperation.

In this case, does Yang Chen need to deliberately develop foreign markets?

No need.

As long as you are absolutely in the lead, you don’t need to understand foreign markets. Foreign markets will take the initiative to seek cooperation, and even beg to give them opportunities to cooperate.

Sun Zhengyi was a little unhappy, after all, Yang Chen didn't like the island country market.

"Mr. Yang is young and energetic, I can understand."

Yang Chen immediately retorted: "This has nothing to do with being young and energetic, it's just that you don't like the island country market. A place with a bigger fart, a population with that size, what can I know about it? You Panasonic, Sony, Mitsubishi, etc. I don’t know how many calls to meet with me. I don’t think it’s necessary to meet them. They can’t offer me anything I’m interested in in exchange, and I’m not interested in money. Do you think it’s necessary for me to meet them? ?Interaction between people, business and business, and country to country is all exchange of interests. I will give you what you want, and you will give me what you want, so that the two sides can continue to communicate. You only want my things, But I can’t get what I want, why should I bother with you?”
