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

"Hello everyone, I am Lin Zitai."

"I'm sorry to meet you in this form today. I hope you can forgive me for being rude."

Lin Zitai looked at Fraser, with a bright smile on his face: "Hello, Mr. Fraser, I have heard of your name for a long time, and today I finally got my wish. I am very happy to join the big family of Merck Group. "

"Hello, Mr. Lin, on behalf of all employees of Merck, I welcome you to join us."

Fraser looked at that overly young face, and a complex emotion arose spontaneously.

He really couldn't imagine that a boy younger than his son would actually push him into a desperate situation.

He also couldn't imagine what it would be like if Lin Zitai's plan succeeded and created a super pharmaceutical company with a market value of one trillion US dollars.

However, Lin Zitai is just young, and his attacks are actually not light at all.

"120 years ago, in the hands of your ancestor George Merck, a great pharmaceutical company was born..."

"More than 60,000 employees once served Merck, and it was unparalleled in the world in the fields of medicine, health and life sciences."

"Such a once-great company has seen its annual revenue decline in recent years and has not introduced new products for many years."

"This makes me very sad. I am not willing to let Merck go downhill like this. I think it is time for us to make a change."

After hearing Lin Zitai's words, everyone in the conference room had different expressions. Some were reflective, some were suppressing laughter, and some were angry.

Fraser said coldly: "Mr. Lin, I am deeply sorry for the decline in revenue in recent years. We will try our best to do a better job in the future."

The implication is that this is not something that Lin Zitai, as an ordinary shareholder, should be concerned about.

Moreover, the decline in Merck’s revenue in recent years is not caused by Lin Zitai’s Prince Pharmaceuticals.

K-drug, known as a god-level potion, only sells for one thousand yuan per shot, directly cutting a quarter of their total revenue.

They have also been promoting the many side effects of the nine-valent vaccine, which has led to many orders being returned and discontinued. Many people are waiting for the Chinese nine-valent vaccine in January next year.

In this case, it would be interesting if the income could rise.

Lin Zitai’s smile never faded: “Merck & Co. raised US$500 billion last month, and everyone wants to know how the money will be used.”

"According to rumors, the board of directors seems to have used the money to buy back shares on a large scale, causing the stock price to rise sharply. What's the point of doing this?"

"And last week, 6.375 million private shares were issued. What do you want to use this money for? What is the significance?"

Lin Zitai's every word was precise, and almost every sentence was poking at Fraser's lungs. He was pretending to be confused, and he was asking questions knowingly. What could Fraser do to him?

A company is a company, an individual is an individual,

Lin Zitai is now participating in the meeting in the name of a shareholder.

"Mr. Lin, what exactly do you want to say?"

Fraser's eyes widened with anger, he pressed his hands on the desk and suddenly stood up.

Parks was stunned, suddenly startled, and was inexplicably glad that Lin Zitai did not come in person.

After all, looking at Fraser's attitude, if Lin Zitai came here in person, he would probably experience what American Iai is.

Lin Zitai's smile remained unchanged, as if he was not affected. He picked up his coffee and took a sip: "More than US$60 billion has been raised, and our shareholders don't even have the basic right to know."

"Such a huge plan was launched without saying a word, so I have reason to suspect that someone on our board of directors has personal emotions."

"If this speculation is true, it will be very detrimental to the group's subsequent development."

"Mr. Fraser, I'm really worried..."

Fraser was furious: "Lin Zitai, stop pretending to be innocent over there. Who caused this to happen?"

"Mr. Fraser, please calm down a little, why are you so angry."

Compared with Fraser, who was almost emotionally out of control, Lin Zitai seemed particularly calm and elegant.

He used the same rhetoric he used to fool Parks in the first place. He was here to join the family, not to tear it apart.

Take Mojin as an example. Since the establishment of the board of directors and the listing, he has never been involved in matters there.

He is like a little dog who likes to chase cars. He doesn't know what to do if he catches him. Even if he merges and acquires two companies, he usually doesn't ask too much.

So they can actually sit down and have a good talk, why bother fighting, which will end up wasting the group's funds and taking advantage of outsiders. Fraser fell into deep thought. After a while, his expression gradually softened and his tone relaxed: "Mr. Lin, do you really think so?"

"Of course, after all, the two companies are so big. It would take too long to complete a merger. The integration of personnel is also a big problem..."

As Lin Zitai said, Fraser hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt and looked up at everyone present.

They all had different expressions, pretending not to care on the surface, but actually listening secretly with their ears pricked up.

This is internal news. Once the news of the two shaking hands and making peace spreads, Merck's stock price will definitely collapse.

The two sides no longer compete, and the financial reports in recent quarters have been very ugly. The stock price has lost all reasons to rise.

"Let's find some time to talk alone."

Lin Zitai understood and called Parks in front of the camera. He briefly explained a few words and ended the call.

Parks looked at Fraser. The shareholders meeting held today was to ask about the whereabouts of Merck's funds.

After Lin Zitai's affairs are finished, it is time to give an explanation to all shareholders, and work must be done from beginning to end.

Fraser nodded slightly, regained his mood, smiled, and informed everyone about the whereabouts of the group's funds.

They are indeed used to repurchase shares, but the specific reason involves future plans and it is not convenient to inform them at the moment.

"Please pay more attention to our official announcement. I believe you will not be disappointed."

As everyone knows, Parks looked at Frazier, with a trace of pity flashing in his eyes, but also more confusion and confusion.

After all, Fraser is someone who has climbed up from the bottom. Logically speaking, he should be used to the intrigues in the mall.

How could he not see that what Lin Zitai said just now was most likely a trap set for him.

Because if Fraser refuses to settle, it means that the two sides are still at odds with each other, and the stock price will continue to rise until one side can no longer hold on.

But Fraser was 'persuaded' by Lin Zitai, with a clear hesitation on his face and a desire to seek opportunities for cooperation.

There were more than a hundred people present, more than a hundred pairs of eyes were watching, and more than a hundred pairs of ears were listening.

It’s hard not to get this news out.

Parks knew without even looking that Merck's stock was absolutely crashing.

Because the two sides shook hands and made peace, the stock has lost its reason to rise. Lin Zitai can also take advantage of this opportunity to acquire stocks on a large scale until he has complete control.

The meeting broke up and people gradually dispersed.

Frazier drove away the assistant, walked to Parks, and remained silent for a long time: "I am not you, and I cannot be you."

He knew this might be a trap, but he also knew that Lin Zitai was forcing him to make a choice and giving him an ultimatum.

He can refuse, but the consequence of refusal will be a fight to the death between the two parties. Judging from the current situation, he will probably lose everything.

Even if he wins by luck, he will definitely not serve as the CEO of the group again and become the last person to be sacrificed.

After he leaves, there will definitely be no one in the group who can shoulder the responsibility, and Lin Zitai will continue to launch attacks.

At that point, Merck was truly taken away.

So Fraser gave up.

It's really time to make a choice,

He can't be as cruel as before.

Fraser suddenly asked: "Parks, do you know there is a Chinese idiom called life-saving straw? It is obviously said to be able to save lives, but it is as light as straw."

Parks shook his head. His Chinese teacher hadn't taught him this far yet. With his current level of Chinese, he still couldn't understand it.

Fraser said: "Because when we fall into the water, we cannot make a choice and can only place our hope on others. And others are full of uncertainty, so they use straw as a metaphor."

"Is that what you understand?" Parks wondered.

"At least that's what I understand." (End of chapter)
