Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 292 The Abyss Pit Gilead, Hidden Deep Without Leaking DOD

For David, or in other words, no matter which angle you look at Gilead from the perspective of investors, it is a garbage company that cannot be in garbage! Because apart from advocating concepts, they can't show anything!

If the prospectus of these guys is equivalent to Boss Jia’s PPT, then in the early stage of development, Gilead is worse than Boss Jia! LeTV, a pure video company, has only been listed on the GEM after making profits for three consecutive years. Although many of them are based on the amortization algorithm of intangible assets, they have made book profits, but—

Gilead can’t even make a book profit!

But for Roland, Gilead is not only an abyss pit, but a gold mine as big as an apple!

All right…

This is just a judgment based on impressions, because in his previous life, he was not in this industry at all, and he didn't know how deep the water in this industry was, and he never picked up the skins of some large game companies because he liked to play games. After all, no one likes to be sick, and few people have a good impression of pharmaceutical companies when they are sick.

So, his understanding of Gilead can actually be summed up in one sentence—

A company that can halve its stock price by virtue of its main business.

That's right, Roland in his previous life met Gilead based on a joke.

In the only memory he has, Gilead was a **** nine or nine years ago, and after entering the millennium, it—

took off.

The success of Gilead does not actually lie in how strong its research and development capabilities were at the beginning. If it was really awesome, they would not fail to launch a drug with an annual sales of more than 10 million for eleven consecutive years. Their The success lies in the capital operation. All achievements, all R&D teams, and all drug patents are all acquired.

Your product is good?

But the next second is mine!

NeXstar was acquired in 1999, and NeXstar later developed Ambison and Daunorubicin Hydrochloride liposomes.

Triangle Pharmaceutical was acquired in 2003, and they later developed Truvada.

Truvada is the only anti-AIDS drug on the market, with a success rate of 90%.

In 2006, it acquired Raylo Chemicals, a pharmaceutical raw material supplier, Myogen in the cardiovascular field, and CorusPharma, which produces antibiotics, although these three investments still have no return.

A year later, they spent another 11 billion to acquire Pharmasset.

Two years later, Pharmasset launched Sovardil, which can kill hepatitis C, and its sales reached 10.3 billion that year.

In 2015, the drugs for treating hepatitis C alone cost America’s medical insurance $10 billion. Almost all the medical insurance of every country on the planet was robbed by it, and only two countries survived.

In 2013, they acquired YMBiosciences;

In 2015, continue to acquire Phenex Parmaceutical, EpiTherapeutics, GalapagosNV;

In 2016, NibusAppollo was acquired...

To put it bluntly, this is the most typical and correct way to develop a company under the control of capital.

Do it yourself?

Something is wrong!

My time is worth more than this market!

Facing the vast blue ocean market, crazy coin investment is over, and facing the fiercely competitive red ocean market, as long as I acquire the industry's No. 1, won't I become the industry's No. 1 directly?

As for others?

To say something very hurtful and unpleasant—

The most indispensable thing in this world is people who work...

And it is precisely because Roland understands that Gilead is a company that relies on capital operations to grow gradually, so he threw this thing into the garbage dump from the beginning-there are a few companies that can grow through buying, buying, and buying. Let ordinary people intervene?

Those who dare to play like this are either not short of money, or the background is too dark to touch!

If a self-made, self-reliant, hard-working, hard-working guy like him joins in, isn't that just bringing shame on himself!

available now—

Gilead has no money?

A company developed with the ability to make money has no money?

Roland felt that this special one was simply teasing himself!

"That's right, the company is really called Gilead, a Gilead that loses money every year."

The words from the handset of the mobile phone woke up the beeping Roland.

Still unable to believe this fact, he asked again: "Has this Gilead ever sought investment from Warren?"

"Yes." David replied in the affirmative.

'Oh my God! ’ Roland almost held his head, "Is this company in California?"

"Yes, California." At the same time of answering, David's voice was also full of doubts, "You know?"

"Did James tell you before?"

As soon as the words came out, David felt something was wrong, "Oh! I forgot! You gave James the admission ticket to Johns Hopkins Summer Camp, and you also asked their chairman to take care of James!"

"In other words, you actually knew about this a long time ago?"

"So are you going to invest now? They have a funding gap of 300 million."

‘Oh! My! God! '

Although David's behavior can be called a self-strategy, Roland can't control that much now. He twisted his thigh severely, and the pain was so clear that he contributed to global warming.

‘The founder of Gilead came out of Johns Hopkins University? '

‘In the early days of Gilead’s establishment, it was under the banner that telomerase can make people immortal? '

‘I actually sent Gilead to James with my own hands? '

One message after another, like eighty! eighty! eighty! The sledgehammer almost knocked Roland's head unconscious!

Different from movies, games, and the Internet, medicine is a field that Roland doesn't understand at all.

He never thought about developing in the field of medicine, so after James told him that his major was biomedical engineering, he couldn't even say a word of encouragement.

But even so, the strongest pharmaceutical research and development company in the future universe rolled in front of him?

This, this, this...

This is outrageous!

Roland originally thought that after going through Blizzard, Marvel, Apple, Google, and Amazon, he would be able to make the mountain collapse in front of him without changing his color, and the elk to be on the left without blinking, but—

Too much difference!

But Roland thinks he can't blame himself, because Gilead is so delicious!

Warren Buffett will be happy when Warren Buffett estimates five billion for 'RandK', but what about Gilead?

This is a 100 billion company with a trillion market!

If the matter can be resolved amidst talking and laughing, then he, Roland, is probably already cultivating immortality!

"Roland? Roland? Roland?"

Just as Roland was stunned by the news David threw, David, who hadn't received a response for a long time, also spoke again.

Hearing the call, Roland came back to his senses and said quickly: "Ah, I'm..."

"Are you there? I thought you were called to film?"

David said something casually, and then continued to ask: "How is it? Are you investing in this company or not?"

"If you don't vote, I will reject them directly."

"After all, 300 million is not a small amount, and I personally think that this company is a liar..."

Hearing the honest words made Roland startled, although he admitted that what David said was fine, but—

A liar in scientific research and a liar who understands capital operation and scientific research are two different concepts!

The point is…

After this village, there is no such shop!

If you don’t vote for Gilead now, you won’t be able to vote for it in the future!

"Voice, vote!" Roland repeated.

Not only that, but he also found a reason in a flash.

"We should vote for companies related to Mr. James!"

When he heard the first half of the sentence ‘Voting’, David on the other end of the phone was actually very surprised, but after he finished listening to the second half of the explanation, that surprise turned into a warm current and penetrated into his heart.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Roland, you don't need to do this."

"I know you think that since James likes this line of work, we have to support him to go on, but—"

"300 million is really too much."

"For so many years, we have raised you in name, but what you have given us in return is much more than what we have given you."

"You helped Ashley and Mary get projects more than once, you also built a zoo for Li Qi, and now you have invested 300 million in the company that James likes. How do you ask them to pay back all of this?"

"You can't spoil them like this, you will spoil them."

"When they get used to unreasonable demands and you refuse them one day, they will directly become enemies."

The sudden heart-to-heart exchange stunned the excited Roland on the spot.

By the time he regained consciousness, the surprise that had been in his mind had already subsided.

Roland admitted that the reason he gave just now was indeed weird, like a father pampering his child and satisfying his demands without limit, but it was precisely because of the weirdness that it stood up.

"David, we want to be fair..."

"I've satisfied Ashley, Mary, and Lizzie. Don't I satisfy James?"

"This is the first time James has made a serious request, and I can't let him down."

"Besides, 300 million is indeed a lot, but compared to the Yahoo we are selling..."

"300 million is not even 1% of Yahoo's share price..."

"For the sake of bullying James for so many years, let me give you this money in return..."

"If his vision is good enough, he should study hard now and try to ask me to ask for the company's director position in the future."

"..." There was silence on the other end of the phone.

It seems that he is thinking about Roland's words, or he may be thinking about logical loopholes, but it is more like convincing himself.

After touching for about half a minute, a chuckle mixed with a sigh entered Roland's ears.

"Why…"

"Okay, I see."

"I won't persuade you this time."

"I can go and talk about capital injection for you, but... I hope you can listen to my analysis next time."

"That's it, hang up first, and call me directly if you need anything."

"Hehehe..." The beeping busy tone made Roland purse his lips and laugh.

But after a while, he sighed again, and his eyes staring at the phone gradually emptied.

To be honest, ten years ago, when he signed the contract with the "Terminator 2" crew, he felt that David was a very good parent, but now...he is willing to give David a perfect score for this parent.

David's educational philosophy is to let children develop according to their own preferences, but at the same time, he will not spoil endlessly.

Children can regard hobbies as careers, but the premise is that the hobbies must be safe.

Just like he thinks that girls don't need to be in the entertainment industry at all. If it weren't for Roland's help, he would have divorced his wife a long time ago, but after confirming that Roland can guarantee that his daughter will not be violated, he just let it go.

Although his stocking can be regarded as a manifestation of irresponsibility, but at the same time, he did follow the children's personal wishes.

The point is that when the child chooses a path, he will spur the child to move forward.

The path you choose yourself, you can walk it yourself. I can help you solve various problems, but you can't choose to push all the decisions on me because of my intervention.

I can help you with all the details, but the big picture is up to you.

Details can be done by countless tools, but strategic thinking can only be accumulated through decisions again and again.

It is easy to find tool people, but it is difficult to cultivate an overall view.

Fortunately, however, they have money and can try and make mistakes.

"David is really an excellent father!" Roland said with emotion.

The next second, he was still delighted by the appearance of Gilead.

"Although we still haven't found a way to make a critical blow to Sony, Gilead can make up for the loss of Sony!"

"Compared with Gilead, Sony is not so attractive."

"After all, Gilead is a company that can blow up global medical insurance!"

Although Roland knows nothing about the medical field, this does not prevent him from investing.

He doesn't want to privatize Gilead, and a capital operation company like Gilead will never be privatized. In this case, getting involved is the greatest success. It is perfect to become the top five shareholders and enter the board of directors. victory.

Of course, this victory is not about money, but global influence.

It's like military capital and financial capital can squeeze Congress like a persimmon.

Pharmaceutical capital can also knead them into balls.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Roland's eyes, Gilead is more important than Blizzard Entertainment, World of Warcraft, Amazon, Apple, and Google, because people can stop playing games, watch movies and TV series, stop shopping online, and Without the use of technological consumer goods, you can escape the convenience brought by search engines, but no one dares to say—

"I'm not afraid of getting sick."

The public and capital are afraid of the disease!

The public and capital want to live forever!

"James is really a treasure boy!" Roland, who was playing with his mobile phone, laughed. At the same time, he was also satisfied with his help many years ago. "Sure enough, if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel all over the world!"

"Of course, it's better for James to be able to be today because of my previous education! If I didn't buy him the exercise books and the tutors I hired for him, then he, who only reads Marvel comics, would definitely not have taught me. Come to Gilead!"

"It seems that if he has a baby in the future, I have to give his son more books on mathematics, physics and chemistry!"

"Hey! Why am I so awesome!"

"Sure enough, a handsome person is lucky!"

Roland, who was in a happy mood, returned to the shooting scene humming a little tune after finishing the matter at hand.

Along the way, no matter who he meets, he will smile and nod with a happy face.

Although Roland is usually easy to get along with, but the joy that comes from the heart and the kindness of being polite to others are two different concepts.

"Why are you smiling so happily today?" While preparing for the shooting, the truck driver looked at Roland wonderingly.

You know, when talking about hype before, Roland didn't say that he had a black face, but it doesn't look good no matter what!

"Could it be...Kate is pregnant?" The old man made an irresponsible guess.

Since the old man did not choose to lower his voice, after hearing this sentence, everyone present cast surprise glances, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who joined the group to play Doctor Octopus after Christmas, also hurriedly joined in. Come over and yell:

"Look! Look! Look what I heard?"

"Is it real or fake? It can't be found out during Christmas, right?"

"Roland, you can do it!"

"When I first met you, you were only this young, but now, you have children?"

The sudden bluff made Roland look as surprised as a sledgehammer, and after seeing the palm of the future governor's flying strokes, he spouted angrily with black lines all over his head: "Go! Go!"

"If Kate is pregnant, can you still see me?"

"How can a pregnant woman fly? I will definitely stay in the UK and never come back!"

While explaining, he put his arm on the truck driver's shoulder and said loudly, "Don't spread rumors!"

The next second, he turned his head to look at the future governor, and hit the opponent's arm with a fist, "Don't spread rumors!"

"Hahaha…"

Although everyone took a slap from Roland, they still laughed.

Infected by them, Roland's accompanying face didn't froze, and he broke his work with a puff.

"Okay, okay, I'm really not pregnant."

Roland waved his hand, "I hope she will give birth soon, but she has to hold the wedding first, and then have a child."

"Understood, understood." The truck driver nodded cheerfully: "Although they can also hold a make-up wedding after having children, for them, the meaning is different. Taking wedding photos with children, and taking wedding photos with husband and wife alone, that's Two concepts."

"And it will become a kind of regret in comparison." The future governor added.

"That's what happened!" Roland was very satisfied with their reaction.

"Since you are not pregnant, why are you happy?" the truck driver asked again.

"Wow... you said that!" Roland was startled, "Kate is not pregnant, what does it have to do with my happiness?"

"I'm in a good mood, I'm happy, okay?"

"No." The truck driver raised his face on purpose, and said in a tone-deaf manner.

"You..." Roland glared, and in the next second he threw out the ultimate move, "Your deep-sea submersible is gone!"

As soon as the words came out, the truck driver was stunned on the spot, and he was stunned, which made him petrified instantly.

The future governor laughed out loud at the two people's amusing behavior, and then... he choked on his own saliva.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Are you two trying to laugh me to death?"

"Stop acting, stop acting! James, your acting skills are terrible!"

"hey-hey…"

Put away The surprised truck driver smiled slightly, ignored the future governor's diss, but said directly: "You made money again?"

"No, no, I just injected some capital into a company related to that kid's teacher at home."

Understanding what the old man asked, Roland waved his hand. He was in a good mood and made an old-fashioned look.

"No way, for the graduation certificate."

"The guy from the Olsen family with the same name as me?" James was a little surprised, "His teacher is a big name in the field of biomedicine! The company related to them must be very powerful, right? No...you are entering biomedicine again ?”

"Where! The company is losing money every year, and the money invested in it, I don't know if it will be collected or not..."

Although Roland looked indifferent, the other two didn't think so.

Roland is really rich, the point is, he still has resources.

Perhaps because it has never been disclosed, the outside world does not know how much Roland’s net worth is, but for them, being able to sit with Warren Buffett can hear a lot of inside information.

As long as a little bit of it flows out between the fingernails, it will be blood money!

"Stop joking, who doesn't know that most of your net worth comes from investment?"

"What is the name of the company you are investing in now? We have no ability to invest, but it is good to buy stocks after it goes public."

Truck driver wants to cash in, and future governor...

His ears are pricked up.

Although things like investing in Gilead should be classified as confidential, as a company dissed as **** by all investors, Roland believed that even if he said it, the two people would feel that they were joking.

So, without pressure, he said directly: "Hi! Don't mention it, that company is really rubbish!"

"It was founded in 1987, and it has been almost 12 years now, but it has never made a profit at all!"

"It was listed in 1991, and it went through three rounds of stock issuance and financing, but all the money was spent!"

"Don't look at me with such questioning eyes, I'm not lying, that company is called Gilead, if you don't believe me, go check it out!"

Roland originally thought that as long as he threw Gilead, the two people around him would really believe that he was just voting casually, but before the words fell, after hearing the name of Gilead, the future governor was full of surprises, "You voted for Gilead?"

"Yes, you know?" Roland also gave him a strange look.

Because in his memory, the governor and his wife, as well as the family behind his wife, have never been involved in the field of biopharmaceuticals!

"I may not know about other biopharmaceutical companies you are talking about, but if you are talking about Gilead in California, then I must know."

‘What? ’ This time it was Roland's turn to be shocked, "You won't be trapped, will you?"

The future governor shook his head, "I won't buy the stock of that company."

"Why?" Roland asked, "Because there is no product?"

"No...because that company has a DOD background..."

The future governor looked at Roland suspiciously, "You didn't even check the background of this company, did you?"

"The chairman of this company, one of the top ten individual shareholders, is Henry Rumsfeld!"

"Became a member of Congress at the age of 30, and became the youngest Defense Minister in history in 1975!"

"He's the hawk flag of America!"

"His former deputy, who can be regarded as his student, is called Dick Cheney."

"And he was the Defense Minister during the George Bush era, and he dominated the Gulf War!"

Grab the grass!

Roland was dumbfounded.

Henry Rumsfeld?

Dick Cheney?

George Bush?

What the **** is this all elephant party!

David didn't tell him!

No!

etc!

Gilead has a DOD background?

Grab the grass!

Roland felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary!

Note: ①Gilead does rely on acquisitions for development. From 1999 to now, they have spent nearly 40 billion on acquisitions. ②Gilead has indeed penetrated the global medical insurance. After discovering that it has to pay nearly 10 billion to Gilead every year, the US government has no choice but to ask Goldman Sachs to come forward to adjust, hoping that Gilead can lower the price of medicines. ③Before 1999, Gilead was indeed stretching its hips, and they were really looking for funds, but unfortunately they had raised too many times. They continued to issue shares for financing. No investment bank was willing to underwrite, and they were looking for capital raising, because they had drawn ten A year of pie, no one is willing to invest in them. In the end, they chose to exchange shares with the acquired company + targeted convertible bonds, and then they took the other party, and this was done by their chairman Henry Rumsfeld through his relationship with Morgan.
