America’s Road To Wealth - Vol 2 Chapter 436

Chapter 436 Medical Complex

After inspecting my three companies in San Diego.

Abel did not leave San Diego.

He even stayed here for one night.

Compared to San Francisco and Los Angeles, which are basically controlled by the California consortium, San Diego started later because it is an important base for the US Navy.

The Texas consortium is here and has a certain influence.

But it doesn’t matter now, with about 1/2 of the electricity supply in the entire California, 3/4 of the gas supply has fallen into the hands of Abel.

Plus Abe’s influence in Silicon Valley.

Today, Abel is gradually gaining the same influence as he had in New York in California.

California-Texas-New York, these three areas that connect the United States as a line, are the places where Abel has the most influence.

The next day, Abel reappeared at the headquarters of a company in San Diego.

This company, in the frenzy of the U.S. stock market after September 11 last year, its stock price was also affected.

Because of its particularity, it has also become one of the more than 200 listed companies that Abel rescued the market.

“…growth hormone is a great product that has saved many children from never growing taller. It has been an angelic blessing to these children, and their families.”

San Diego.

In the headquarters of the American Gene Engineering Technology Company.

Abel and the company’s chairman, Arthur Levinson, browsed the company’s imitation of Qualcomm’s patent wall, while laughing and praising this biogene pharmaceutical company.

American genetic engineering technology company, referred to as Genentech.

is a biotechnology company founded by venture capitalist Robert Swanson and biochemist Dr. Herbert Boyer in the 1970s.

It is considered to be the founder of the biotechnology industry. It is relatively outstanding among the thousands of pharmaceutical companies in San Diego, but it is not outstanding.

It was listed on NASDAQ as early as 1980. After the 1990s, he also transferred his own stocks to the New York Stock Exchange, which has a larger market.

Abel bought 11.9% of its shares while saving the market after 9/11.

Later, it acquired many of its shares one after another, accounting for 35%.

Currently he is the largest shareholder of Genentech.

“Striving for the health of mankind for a lifetime!”

Standing beside Abel, Arthur Levinson, the chairman of Genentech, said with a smile and respect:

“This is Genentech’s company slogan, but it’s not just a slogan. It’s also the biggest goal everyone working at Genentech strives for! Growth hormone is just one of our contributions to mankind.”

The growth hormone they are talking about is a secondary growth hormone produced by Genentech for young children with growth defects, and it is a treatment for dwarfism.

is also the first successful product of Genentech.

Relying on this product, Genentech was successfully listed.

A drug that makes a pharmaceutical company boss. In the United States, this kind of thing is commonplace.

The medical complex is one of the top five mountains in the United States. As long as it is done well, there will be a lot of dollar bills.

“It is based on trust in Genentech in this regard.”

Abel said with a smile: “So in San Diego, instead of looking for giants like Pfizer, Novartis, and Amgen, I came to Genentech for this reason.”

As one of the most dynamic and innovative biomedical industry gathering places in the world, the San Diego area has more than 1,000 biomedical technology companies and more than 80 related scientific research institutions.

Genentech is considered excellent in this, but it is not very eye-catching.

There are several companies of similar size and technology in San Diego.

And it happens to have good scientific research strength in genes and biopharmaceuticals.

More importantly, it is compared to other pharmaceutical companies.

It already has more than 35% of the shares, owned by Abel.

Since June last year, Abel has established two medical research institutions in Houston, Texas.

They are based in Houston, and the research direction is the exploration of human longevity and convenience, and related medical technologies.

This is a medical research institution founded by Abel for himself and his family.

Abel’s practice can be regarded as very common in the United States.

Bill Gates, who is well known to Chinese people, announced the establishment of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation two years ago.

This foundation, in addition to providing tax shelter for Bill Gates, avoids most of his property being taken away by the terrorist inheritance tax of the US government in the future.

Its more funds are invested in drug and medical research.

Externally, Bill Gates claimed that he did this for the benefit of mankind and to overcome diseases that are terrifying to mankind.

In fact, most of the money in this fund of Bill Gates is also invested in longevity medicine.

In the parallel time and space, Bill Gates later accepted donations from Xiao Mazi and many other rich people.

Up to hundreds of billions of dollars of funds, add up to do research.

No one believes that these rich people handed over so much money to Bill Gates just to develop several drugs to cure diseases.

The key is that they have been working on it for more than ten years, but the amount of drugs produced is very small, and the input is not output.

At that time, Bill Gates said that the research direction of the fund would only last for 30 years.

After thirty years, the fund operation will be terminated.

When he said these words, Bill Gates was almost 60 years old.

Add 30 to 60 years old, almost 90 years old.

At that time, if the research does not produce good results.

Bill Gates’ lifespan is almost exhausted.

Now, the medical research institute established by Abel is basically similar to the purpose of Bill Gates.

One of the purposes of his coming to Genentech today is to recruit some talents for his medical research institute in Houston.

Of course, it was also he who began to pay attention to the performance of the pharmaceutical industry.

In the United States, the medical complex is terrifying, not even inferior to the behemoths of the energy complex and the military-industrial complex.

It is a huge vested interest group including pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, medical institutions, and even insurance companies.

In 2001, Americans, who accounted for 4.68% of the world’s population, consumed 46.7% of the world’s health resources, with a per capita health expenditure of $4,873.

The total health expenditure is 1.56 trillion US dollars, accounting for about 14% of the GDP of the United States that year.

Just looking at this number, if the US medical industry is regarded as a country, it will be the fifth largest economy in the world…

Why did Kennedy have such a big brain, because the big boss of the donkey gang wanted to reform the US medical insurance system.

The reform that this person wants to implement is not the reform that is beneficial to the medical giants like Xiao Ao later, but the medical insurance reform that is really beneficial to the people.

In that era of confrontation, Kennedy may not have done this to benefit the people, but to enhance the national power of the United States.

But his doing so obviously hurt the interests of many medical giants.

The result of the follow-up was that he went to take a convertible car happily, and his brain opened up when he was happy.

According to Abel, there are five mountains on the heads of ordinary Americans.

The first mountain is a military-industrial complex.

The second big mountain is the medical complex.

The third mountain is a legal complex with lawyers at its core.

The fourth mountain, the Wall Street financial complex.

The fifth mountain, education-media complex.

Among the five mountains, Abel has secured the top positions of two of them, crushing the Americans below.

He is now considering whether he can sit on the other three mountain tops.

That will make his position in the United States more stable.

Anyway, Americans, from the past to the future, will always be infinitely cut vertically.

There are other backward areas that can be exploited for productivity.

It can be said that it is the country in the world that is least worried about bottom-up reform or resistance.

Then he is still afraid of an egg, of course he can press as hard as he can.

While establishing a medical research institution.

Abel’s acquisition of so many shares in Genentech is based on this purpose.

It’s just that at this time, in order to avoid warning giants such as Pfizer, Novartis, and Amgen in advance.

Abel just stayed at the Genentech headquarters for more than an hour just like inspecting other companies in which he has invested, and then left.

Follow-up, he even went to the branches of Pfizer and Amgen in San Diego and took a look.

Although the headquarters is in New York, Pfizer, the cosmic super pharmaceutical giant, also has a very important branch in San Diego.

Many medical giants also have branches here.

In fact, San Diego is not the number one gathering place for pharmaceutical giants in the United States.

The Boston/Cambridge, MA area is the largest biopharmaceutical cluster in the United States.

The Kendall Square there is even known as the “Wall Street” of the global pharmaceutical industry.

There are more than 2,000 scientific research institutions and companies from the global life science field, such as AstraZeneca, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Novartis, Pfizer and other giants are there.

It ranks first among the top five job hunting places in the life science industry in the United States, and has the title of “Gene City”.

But Abel will not go there to seek their scientific research talents.

The reason is very simple, because those places are the lairs of behemoths like Morgan and Rockefeller…

Having said that, there is an interesting phenomenon in the medical complex in the United States.

That is the top ten medical industry gathering places in the United States, excluding two or three places such as San Diego.

The remaining places are all places with the greatest influence of the top ten consortiums in the United States.

Like Boston/Cambridge, MA of the old East Coast consortium, San Francisco Bay Area of ​​the California consortium…

Abel was very pleased about this.

He knows that this is the performance of everyone who is the big boss of the consortium, who is actually very afraid of death.

It’s not that he is afraid of death alone, but everyone is afraid of death…

When he was about to leave Genentech.

The chairman of this company, Arthur Levinson, said cryptically.

The company may have to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area within a few years.

Because of the promise over there, it will provide free venues and a considerable tax exemption.

Obviously, this is the meaning of some old guys within the California consortium.

Abel’s reaction to this was more direct.

“If you consider the venue or tax exemption, maybe you can choose Texas.”

He smiled and said: “I promise, whether it is Houston or Tarrant County, they can provide a larger free land than San Francisco and a better tax exemption policy.”

Facing Abel’s statement, Arthur Levinson was a little stunned.

Before Arthur Levinson could speak again, Abel had left Genentech.

On the way to San Diego International Airport.

Abel directly said to David in the front passenger seat:

“Let the two laboratories of Adam and Eve start openly recruiting researchers. Pay attention to screening, even if there are spies or spies mixed in, they must be spies and spies that are useful for research.”

Adam and Eve are the names of two medical institutions established by Abel in Houston and Tarrant counties respectively.

Two research laboratories, the direction of research is longevity or longevity.

They were established last year, and the first batch of researchers were scientific researchers recruited locally in Houston.

However, although Houston has the best clinical research technology in the United States, or even the world.

But in terms of biological gene research on longevity, it can only be said to be relatively ordinary.

If you want to conduct research in this area, you must recruit researchers from other regions to strengthen the scientific research capabilities of the two medical institutions.

Regarding these two medical research laboratories, Abel was still hiding them.

Now that he has gone to Genentech, Abel believes that the information on this matter will soon be sent to the desks of major pharmaceutical giants, and even consortium giants.

To keep these guys from finding themselves coveted for the medical complex.

He simply exposed his two research laboratories to them in advance.

Yes, that’s right. Even Abel Smith, who is still under 22 years old, is the youngest consortium core figure in the United States.

But he is afraid of death, he just wants to live forever, and the next best thing is to live a long life!

He’s not afraid to let other people know that.

Anyway, most consortiums are willing to invest in research in this area.

After all, 99.9% of the guys who control these consortiums are old guys.

Compared with Abel, they actually hope to make a breakthrough in this area.

By exposing this “fear of death”, Abel also wanted to see if he could use it to conceal his ambition in the medical complex.

It’s best if you can hide it, if you can’t, it’s not a loss if you can delay it for a while.

David is in the passenger seat, nodding yes.

Since then, the two medical research institutions of Adam and Eve have officially entered the eyes of many Americans.

Externally, like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, it is a high-end laboratory responsible for research in the field of medical and health under the newly established Smith Foundation.

In the list of many longevity medical research institutions in the United States, there are two more.

The difference is that it belongs to Abe Smith, belongs to the Smith family.

In other respects, everyone is the same, and everyone is tacit.

Leaving San Diego, Abel returned to Los Angeles and stayed in Beverly Hills for a few more days.

For a few days, he was mainly hanging out with Nicole Kidman and a number of Issa Angels who came to work in Los Angeles.

Jessica and Annie are based in Los Angeles. On the contrary, they have not been in Los Angeles recently because of filming.

Annie is in New York, filming Spider-Man. Because of the success of the first film, this time MGM Film Group chose to shoot two or three films in succession.

The filming work is naturally harder and longer than last year.

As for Jessica, she has acted as the heroine of many Hollywood movies with A+ investment in a row.

She is now regarded as one of the most popular young American actors, even more popular than Annie.

After all, no matter how you say it, the core of “Spider-Man” will always be “a failed man”.

The heroine is mainly used to show beauty and beauty, and at the same time set off the vase of the most civilian superhero, Spider-Man Parker.

This makes it difficult for Anne to be more popular with fans than Maguire.

Unlike Jessica, in the movies she starred in, as the heroine, she played no less roles than the hero.

There are many scenes, and if the director is more biased, then she will naturally be more eye-catching.

On March 20th, Abel was at Los Angeles International Airport and got on a plane to Asia.

Before boarding the plane, he received a report from the rock security staff.

That is the Australian Aries who lives with Cate Blanchett in the mansion at No. 10410 Bellagio Road, Beverly Hills. It has been detected that he has “won the bid”.

On the list of the Smith ethnicity, it is already foreseeable that another name will be added.

After more than ten hours of flying time.

Under the time difference factor, Asian time, on the afternoon of March 20.

Hanguk, Seoul Incheon International Airport.

A graceful, slender, overall white Boeing 747 wide-body airliner landed slowly on the second runway of Incheon International Airport.

When the engine is turned off, Abel’s figure appears after Edward.

Under the plane, privileges were used to enter the airport through a special passage.

Li Fuzhen, who has already had a big belly and is about to enter her due date in one month.

After seeing Abel’s appearance, a happy smile appeared on her round and beautiful face.

“Mmmmmmm…”

Half an hour later.

Leaving Incheon International Airport, on the way to the center of Seoul.

In the middle of a team of Cadillacs, in the specially transported Cadillac monster carriage.

After much difficulty, Li Fuzhen was finally let go.

“The taste is better.”

Looking at the eldest princess of the Samsvng Group, Abel said with satisfaction.

Li Fuzhen glanced at him coquettishly, and said coquettishly:

“So rude, I’m not afraid of hurting the child…”

“It’s okay. I have experience, and generally it’s fine. Just can’t do that kind of…”

Abel said with considerable experience.

In Ikana in Santa Barbara, California, there is also Paris, especially Ikana, who was pregnant at about the same time as Li Fuzhen.

During Abel’s stay in California this time, of course he also visited the mothers of these two future children.

With a lot of experience, Abel can be very clear about this aspect.

What else can Li Fu really say.

Born in the Li family of Samsvng, she came out of the intrigue within Han Guo chaebol, which is more cruel than the United States, and she is very clear about her current position.

She knew that even though she was in the Han Kingdom, she now lived a life similar to that of a queen in Seoul. Even her father, the “invisible leader of the Han Kingdom” Li Zaixi, had to take her very seriously.

But the foundation of all this is only based on the man in front of him.

It has nothing to do with your own abilities.

So facing Abel who is not only his benefactor and backer, but also his man, and also the father of his child, Li Fuzhen has always been submissive and submissive.

When she faced Abel, it was like Han Guo faced America…

After being pregnant, her figure became more plump, and Li Fuzhen can be described as beautiful and beautiful. Abel chatted with her from time to time about Hanguo or the situation in Seoul.

Mainly Li Fuzhen was talking and Abel was listening.

Most of them are Li Fuzhen’s “career” in Han Country during this period.

That is what she did here in the name of Abel’s agent.
