For a whole month, Zhou Zhengru and another American executive were responsible for the entire sales of sulfonamide drugs in the United States, while the two deputy general managers of Huashang Group's overseas branches were mainly responsible for waving those sulfa drugs in accordance with Lang Tuanzu's roll call requirements.
50 million cash checks were used to buy shares of companies that were either unknown or famous but in poor operating conditions and on the verge of bankruptcy.
Although US$50 million is nothing in the weak but still huge U.S. capital market, it is a life-saving straw for those companies that are in urgent need of capital to save their lives.
Although the overseas branches of Huashang Group are controlled by Chinese people, they also have the shadow of the American Ross family. For this reason, many American companies do not care whether they are excluded or not, and most of them have sold certain shares to the Chinese.
This is the so-called "a beautiful knife is everywhere, and shares can be captured at your fingertips." Liu Tuanzuo's money offensive is simply invincible.
Even DuPont, where Liu Tuanzuo had a special plot and went to acquire shares, fell under the check waved by Liu Tuanzuo. DuPont is not like other companies that are either hanging on or in decline, but are thriving and will be divided.
The company has opened its doors to large multinational companies in various European countries.
Why can DuPont still maintain sufficient profits in an environment where the U.S. economy has not yet fully recovered? That's because the business direction chosen by DuPont is indeed unique. So what does it do?
In the future, DuPont, which has fully grown up, will be a global enterprise based on scientific research, providing scientific solutions that can improve the quality of human life in areas such as food and nutrition, health care, clothing, home and construction, electronics and transportation.
road.
To put it bluntly, this company has correctly defined its business direction since the beginning of the 20th century, that is, they do not mainly sell products, but engage in scientific research and sell patents, starting from the most important basic necessities of life for human beings.
They were very successful. Not only did they develop stocking materials like nylon, which conquered women and attracted the attention of men, they also developed products that would be familiar to people in the future, such as car glass film, latex paint, insecticides, etc. They even researched
A specific drug for AIDS has been released.
Even in the future, in June 1942, U.S. President Roosevelt approved the "Manhattan Project" to study the atomic bomb, and signed a contract for DuPont to fully assist the Manhattan Project: DuPont was responsible for the design, construction, and safe transportation of all projects required for the project.
, and has access to all technologies related to the research and manufacture of atomic bombs. For this project, DuPont relocated 60,000 employees approximately 4,345 kilometers from east to west.
Of course, what has been said is not enough to summarize the achievements of this technology company. As long as you know that the day it turned from this company to a technology service company, it recruited a large number of scientists. At its peak, there were many scientists working for DuPont.
It has more than 10,000 scientists and technicians and more than 35 laboratories in 11 countries. Even chemist Charles Peterson, who works for DuPont, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Is this kind of technology company cool?
It must be awesome! What matters to the Wolf Group is not how much money DuPont can make, but the many technologies that DuPont will develop in people's livelihood in the future, which are also urgently needed by the new republic.
Although the president of DuPont used an extremely arrogant attitude to turn away the two deputy general managers of the overseas branches of the Chinese Merchant Group who came to the door waving checks, he even refused to give face to Miss Laura, the little princess of the Ross family. Her nostrils were turned upward.
The attitude is clearly: we are not short of money.
Not short of money? There is no such concept here in Langtuanzuo. "Loyalty is because you are not tempted enough. If you are honest, it is because the stakes for betrayal are too low." There is a golden saying in the future. Don't read it. The more you think about it, the more you think about human nature.
Losing confidence, but that is indeed real human nature.
Not short of money, you have never seen mountains of money. Liu Tuanzuo’s fascination with silk stockings made the senior executives of the Chinese business group, including the little foreign girl, collectively rub their already wrinkled and sore foreheads.
The little foreign girl just had to say something to a certain fat hero who was almost obsessed with his special hobby: What's the point of those torn socks? Aren't my big white legs much prettier than those?
But after the crazy Liu Tuanzuo failed to purchase 3% of DuPont's shares for the first time with US$2 million, he directly raised the price to US$4 million. What, US$4 million is not enough? 8 million or 8 million is not enough.
?16 million......
The president of DuPont, who has rejected this crazy Chinese company for the third time, is actually not as happy as he imagined. He even feels that the top of his head is starting to sweat. Because, not only does the other party say something inconsistent,
The doubling of the price frightened him and even made him more and more excited. What made him feel even more pressured was that if DuPont, with a total value of only 80 million U.S. dollars, did not agree to an acquisition with a premium of more than ten times, would he?
He will be sprayed to death by a bunch of shareholders at the shareholders' meeting.
After all, this is not a business war to control the company at all, but simply a desire to share the dividends with DuPont.
Unfortunately, when the huge sum of 16 million was just called out and he was ready to immediately agree, someone handed a note to Miss Laura, whose face was ashen and wanted to spit on him.
Then Miss Laura left without saying goodbye.
Then, before the president of DuPont could get upset, he witnessed an exaggerated stock war with his own eyes. Generally speaking, the shares of listed companies circulating on the stock market will account for 20% to 40% of the company's shares.
About 10%. Because DuPont is a company mainly composed of three major shareholders, there are not many circulating shares on the market, accounting for only about 10%.
However, in just one day, all the DuPont shares sold were bought by a mysterious account. No matter how the DuPont shares rose, the account would just buy, buy, buy.
The next day, DuPont's stock still soared, and the account continued to buy without hesitation until there were no more DuPont shares on the market.
On the third day, it was still the same. DuPont's stock price soared by 50% in three days. The increase made DuPont's shareholders sweat a little while they were overjoyed. This increase makes people feel guilty! It's an exaggeration.
The increase made the U.S. Stock Exchange Supervisory Commission feel abnormal and even temporarily closed trading of DuPont stock.
But soon, trading resumed, because the mysterious account was not mysterious, but belonged to the Ross family. They also stated that they just wanted to hold DuPont shares, and there was no speculation.
This kind of wealth is due to the uncle's insistence on continuing to rise crazily, so much that the president of DuPont wants to come to his door and beg that crazy goddess to stop being so willful. If he doesn't do it now
Knowing that the operator behind the scenes is the overseas branch of the Huashang Group that has become a little crazy, then he can really take advantage of it.
Although the stock price has risen so high that everyone who holds the stock is angry, the president of DuPont also understands a truth: the higher you fly, the louder the crash will be when you fall.
What if the wayward little princess of the Rose family becomes willful? Because the acquisition fails, she wants to spend tens of millions of dollars to vent her anger, and starts to sell off the full 5% of the shares she has acquired regardless of the cost?
Fortunately, Laura is not that crazy. To be precise, Liu Tuanzuo thinks that tens of millions of dollars is enough, which is much cheaper than imagined. Of course, the more important thing is that 50 million U.S. dollars in a burst of crazy various
After the acquisition, it has almost bottomed out.
Finally, the president of DuPont breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, when the wealthy and willful Miss Laura once again came to buy the company's patent rights for the polyamide compound that was still being tested only last year, the tortured bald president of DuPont agreed to this equally willful request.
.
A full one million US dollars! A special material that has just been discovered and has not yet been put into practical use. Those who don’t sell it are fools. What’s more, the wayward Miss Laura also spent another one million US dollars to temporarily hire the discovery of this material.
Carothers and his scientific research team continued to develop the material for two years, which is equivalent to selling this patented technology for two million US dollars.
This may be the most successful patent sale in the history of DuPont! The bald president of DuPont thought happily while signing the contract.
He probably could not have imagined that only three years later, not only did he regret it, but it was a good thing that all the shareholders did not drown him in saliva. Moreover, decades later, his acquisition was rated as the largest acquisition in the history of DuPont.
failed acquisition.
Just a pair of stockings worn by women. They have been popular all over the world for decades.
