You are worth tens of billions before you come to the system?

Late June is daylight saving time in the United States, and U.S. stocks open at [-]:[-] pm Beijing time.

Novartis Group's share price plummeted 25% at the opening, losing revenue from Gleevec, and the price of new slow-grain drugs fell sharply.

In recent years, huge bad news has been reported one after another, and the research and development of new drugs has been fruitless. Investors in the market have long lost patience with Novartis.

After all, U.S. stocks are not like A-shares, which can only be entered but not exited. There is a short-selling mechanism. A stock that plummeted 25% at the opening shows that there are no institutions to protect the market, allowing speculators to smell opportunities.

Ping An Wei Yixiang and HSBC Jon are always paying attention to market trends. The 25% plunge at the opening also gave them hope.

It is only 34% away from 8%. If it is pushed appropriately, it may fall to $30.

The harder they fall, the more they make.

On the other side, Lin Zitai also ended the call with Parks, basically deceiving him.

He really wants to join the Novartis family, but he is not willing to just join, he also wants to be the master.

“Start buying back shares when it falls to $30, but be careful not to exceed the holding line.”

Lin Zitai also told the other three institutions not to exceed the 5% quotation line, otherwise the position will be locked for half a year.

Four domestic institutions are working together at the same time, and Wall Street institutions are adding fuel to the fire without knowing it.

Novartis was listed in 96. After multiple financings, the number of floating shares has already reached 100%.

Their minimum target is 16% stake.

Lu Feng had been with him for many years, and Lin Zitai was reassured by his execution ability.

When they were asked to observe the market, Lin Zitai was not idle and contacted Kazuo Aoi of the Mitsui Group.

I hope to meet with Saito Seungri of Daiichi Life and Masayoshi Son of SoftBank Group tomorrow and ask him to help organize it.

Perhaps it was the little boy and the fat man who crushed Japan's ambition to unify Asia, or perhaps the Hiroshima Agreement caused Japan to lose thirty years.

Anyway, since then, Japan's financial institutions have been particularly fond of Lao American assets. Even if the market has not been optimistic about Novartis's situation in recent years, they have been increasing their stakes.

Now both are among the top ten shareholders of Novartis, holding a total of 16.75% of the shares.

Lin Zitai needs their support. As long as he gets 16.75% of their shares, it will become smoother to take over Novartis, and he does not even need Parks's consent.

It is not difficult to get the Novartis shares held by Masayoshi Son, because SoftBank Group has suffered losses in recent years, and the total has exceeded US$300 billion.

The investment myth of SoftBank Group has long ceased to exist. Even its original investment in Ali Group is now considered a blind cat that hit a dead mouse.

The key lies in Dai-ichi Life, the most powerful insurance company in Japan, with assets worth more than [-] trillion yuan.

Spending money can't defeat them...

Lin Zitai thought about it and called Lao Ma: "Mr. Ma, what are you busy with recently?"

Ma Yun said with a smile: "I'm almost retired, what else can I be busy with?"

Ever since Ant Financial failed to go public, Alipay has almost been absorbed, and his power has been emptied out, and he has long wanted to quit.

"Do you have time to accompany me to Tokyo tomorrow?"

Lin Zitai thought for a while and told the truth that he planned to take over Novartis, but he still needed the support of SoftBank and Dai-ichi Life.

After all, Kazuo Aoi is an outsider and his friendship is average.

Although Ma Yun is not a good person, he is still relatively good compared to the two. At least he is a newcomer in the pharmaceutical industry. Even if he makes demands, he will not make excessive demands.

Ma Yun couldn't help blurting out: "Damn it, Mr. Lin, your tricks are getting bigger and bigger."

While marveling, his mind was also running rapidly. What role could he play in it and what could he gain.

Lin Zitai laughed: "It's just a helpless move. If they weren't so aggressive..."

Ma Yun smiled and did not take Lin Zitai's words seriously: "I'm in Hangzhou, what time will I leave tomorrow?"

"I'm in Shanghai. I'll set off at about eight o'clock."

"See you in Tokyo at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning."

"See you in Tokyo."

Lin Zitai frowned, Ma Yun was so enthusiastic, she must have Xiao Jiujiu in her heart.

But now, we can only take one step at a time.

After all, joining Novartis won’t work with just money.

Back in the trading room, Lin Zitai took a look at the market chart.

The current price is US$29.5, and the work of collecting funds is in full swing and being carried out cautiously. They don’t dare to buy too much at once, so they can only take their time to avoid being mistaken by short sellers as the main force protecting the market.

"Manager Lu, please notify me immediately if anything happens."

Lin Zitai lay on the sofa and closed his eyes for a nap. He would go to Tokyo early tomorrow morning.

…………

As the night progresses, the sound of the mouse and keyboard sounds like a lullaby.

Suddenly, Lu Feng's voice came to Lin Zitai's ears: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin..."

"What time is it?" Lin Zitai stood up and shook his head to clear his mind.

Lu Feng replied: "At four o'clock in the morning, the US stock market has just closed, with a closing price of $31.25."

"How many shares do we acquire in total?"

"6540 million shares, accounting for 3.2% of the total share capital, with an average price of US$29.8, and funds used of US$19.48 billion."

"Thank you for your hard work. Let them rest here today. If you need anything, tell Mr. Liu and we will continue in the evening."

"Ok."

Lin Zitai returned to the office. It was still dark outside, and there were only a few driving vehicles on the ground.

But he knew that Wei Yixiang, Qiaoen and others must not have rested, so he called them to learn about the current progress.

HSBC holds 2.8%, ICBC 3.1%, and Ping An 3.2%. Counting them, the four companies hold a total of 12.3% of Novartis shares.

If there is some bad news tonight, we should be able to reach the 16% target, or even exceed it.

As long as the total reaches 16%, plus the shares of SoftBank and Dai-ichi Life, the total can reach 32.75%.

At that time, there was no need to hide and tuck in. It was entirely possible to raise 0.65% strongly and then publicly raise the name of Novartis Pharmaceuticals.

For a company that has been listed for more than 33.4 years, holding [-]% of the shares, more than one-third, is a controlling stake in an absolute sense.

Lin Zitai finished his breakfast and took the earliest flight to Tokyo before the morning rush hour.

The plane landed in Tokyo at [-]:[-], and Lin Zitai met Ma Yun in the VIP reception room of the airport.

The two took a bus to the hotel in Kyoto Port, intending to take a rest and meet Son and Saito Seungri again in the afternoon.

On the way, Ma Yun suddenly said: "Mr. Lin, I am confident that I can help you get the shares of the two companies."

He saw that Lin Zitai didn't get a good rest last night, and he didn't get any rest either. He had been thinking about how to maximize his profits.

He was unwilling to be just a lobbyist and wanted to intervene.

Lin Zitai was not surprised and asked: "Mr. Ma, if you need anything, it's okay to ask."

Ma Yun pondered for a moment while observing Lin Zitai's reaction: "I want to invest in the Prince Group."

Lin Zitai refused without thinking: "Mr. Ma, this condition is too harsh, you might as well change it."

Ma Yun advised: "Mr. Lin, you should know better than me that it is difficult to gain weight by eating alone."

As far as he knew, the Prince Group had three shareholders besides Lin Zitai, but they had never come forward.

Therefore, he had reason to suspect that all shareholders were fabricated by Lin Zitai, and that the group was his sole proprietorship.

Two years ago, the Prince Group went bankrupt. Ma Yun did not expect that Lin Zitai would dare to play like this now.

Lin Zitai said with a smile: "I am quite stubborn and do things as I please. I don't like to answer to shareholders."

Ma Yun retreated and asked for the next best thing: "What about Tahoe Hospital?"

Lin Zitai said: "The current total investment is 35 billion, and the revenue and expenditure cannot even be balanced, and profitability is far away."

"It doesn't matter, I believe in Mr. Lin's vision."

Ma Yun smiled faintly, and he studied Lin Zitai's career map all night.

With the launch of Mojin last year and the launch of new slow-grain drugs, Lin Zitai focused his career entirely on the pharmaceutical field.

The Prince Group is the engine, the medical university under construction is the fuel and talent pool, and the humble Tahoe Hospital is actually the frame.

According to his investigation, Lin Zitai bought about 66 square meters of land near the hospital, including several hills. With his character, it is absolutely impossible for him to engage in real estate.

It can only be said that this is a gold mine that has not yet been tapped.

The potential is endless and the future is promising. (End of chapter)
