The Goddess Shines on America - Chapter 609

The Roswell Building, located in the center of London, has a height of 30 floors. As early as when the umbrella and Vanda settled together, it directly covered the top five floors. As soon as the two companies go up and down, they plan to continue to occupy free floors according to the company’s expansion, and eventually occupy all five floors.

But now, not only has the fifth floor been fully occupied, it has also become crowded. As early as January, Li Zekai, who served as the CEO of Vanda, had to put a large amount of business in Tower A of Vanda Square in London to leave most of Roswell’s space for umbrellas. Compared with Vanda, which is constantly building commercial real estate, the umbrella under its jurisdiction of 17 pharmaceutical factories, markets all over Europe and marching into the United States is already too large.

When Alice came to London by plane and took the elevator all the way to the top floor of Roswell, she encountered such a situation.

“Wow, wow, did I come to the vegetable market?”

Even the floors where the executive officers are located are crowded. As soon as the elevator doors are opened, there are rows of office seats that are extremely dense. Nearly a hundred employees are working hard in their seats, and dozens of employees are quickly shuttling between the aisles. There are phone calls and printers working everywhere, so don’t be too busy!

“Hey, are you new here?”

A young employee saw Alice approaching the door and beckoned directly: “Hurry up and send this document to Director Michele downstairs. KPMG’s accounting team will be there tomorrow. Let them be prepared!”

Alice raised her eyebrows. Is the IPO work in progress?

“Sorry, buddy, leave the job to you.” Alice Li ignored him and saw a principal in the crowd: “Hawkinson, give me the latest list of headquarters employees.”

The named Hodgson was the administrative director of the company headquarters. He looked up again when he heard the voice. He was shocked, and then immediately shouted: “No problem! Miss Wang! Is it sent to Mr. Spencer’s room?”

After nodding, Alice walked forward quickly, passing through the layers of people, and then under the guidance of the secretary of the board who heard the sound, strode into Spencer’s executive office.

Oswell-Spencer was standing in front of the clearing, looking at the bustling city center of London outside the French windows.

“Alice, long time no see.”

“Yeah, I haven’t been here for a while. You are really squeezed here.” Alice entered the room and directly sat on the reception sofa, lazily unwilling to move: “I will change the office building immediately after listing. I am sure of you.”

Spencer has switched from looking at the sky and walked towards the reception area with a smile: “I saw it with my own eyes. It really feels different, right? I told you earlier that these five-story office buildings are no longer enough for umbrellas. They are obviously a medicine. The company, however, gives people the feeling of a Wall Street investment bank full of traders, which makes people question our professionalism.”

Alice rolled her eyes and said, “What’s the mess, okay, knowing you are complaining, I promise to find a new place right away, what about Vanda’s B seat?”

Spencer sat on the sofa, raised his eyebrows and said, “Let us change the address of the umbrella to the floor of Block B, Vanda Square, XX Street in London. Such a characteristic sentence?”

“So, sure enough, you still want to buy a piece of land?”

Alice grinned. It feels really interesting. Regardless of the rapid development of the company since its establishment, Spencer will inevitably have something to complain about. The five-story building in a building is constantly squeezing space. As the former president of Pfizer Group Europe, how long hasn’t he been wronged?

“I’m quite used to the scenery here.” Spencer poured a cup of coffee for Alice, still smiling lightly: “So boss, how about you just buy Roswell? Instead of letting the company move, Why not tell the small companies downstairs to move out one by one?”

Tsk tusk, it’s a big tone. It’s obviously still an unlisted company, but it’s not at all polite to ask other companies that also settled in central London to leave.

Alice likes this style.

She waved her hand and said: “These are all easy to handle, but go downstairs to find the last company and come to tell them to roll up and leave. I don’t want to do this job.”

“At least it’s easier than building another building. Now that you have started the job of going public, when the company ushered in a new round of explosive development, even if it occupies the entire thirty floors, it won’t take a few years. Even now. When looking for other suitable buildings in the urban area, don’t you have to notify the settled companies to move one by one.”

In this way, less than two minutes after entering the house, Alice and Spencer quickly decided on a major event, but since they have come all the way, they certainly don’t know what they need to talk about. Spencer specifically called the Secretary of the Board into the room and notified the cancellation of a meeting, an interview, and a meeting to make enough time for Alice’s personal visit.

After that, the top priority was the construction of the Tokyo Science and Technology Park that Alice had been unable to take care of since she devoted herself to the Gulf War.

The Miyano and his wife also sat on the umbrella board of directors and enjoyed full control of the branch. A 30-story single-floor building and the total usable area of ​​the park behind them are large enough to make Spencer envy at this moment.

Three months of construction is enough to complete many projects. All the old buildings have been demolished, and all construction waste has been removed. Three seven-story laboratory buildings have started construction first, and the greening of the park is also being carried out simultaneously. As the address is close to the river bank, a small wharf is also included in the construction period, and construction can begin at any time.

Also as a research center, with the technical support of Cisco, the anti-cancer drug laboratory located in Kyoto has begun to lay an optical fiber network, which will be directly connected to the Tokyo area to share data. As for the products there, of course Spencer has already prepared the report, waiting for Alice to read it in person.

“So… we can already open it to the public, right?”

Alice trembling this information said: “The drug test will take a long time, but as long as we can provide news to the public on time and report the progress, we don’t have to worry about where the stock price will go after Umbrella’s listing. Spencer, you are ready. This work, since we have already started an IPO, isn’t this all good news?”

Spencer nodded and said: “Yes, the audit team of KPMG will arrive at the company’s finance department at nine o’clock tomorrow morning to conduct a thorough inspection of the accounts. However, the research center in Exeter has recently merged with Blackwater International, which has joined the company, is not included in the scope. Are you sure you want to do this?”

“Well… the group company, currently only the medicine is listed. Umbrella security, and the research team here, you know, very independent.”

Of course, Alice knows what the umbrella company structure is. From the industry and business perspective, it is divided into three parts: drug sales and research and development, mercenary company, and computer research and development. But in the real internal operation process, it is a division of marketing and sales departments, scientific research departments, and military armed departments!

The CEO of Spencer is only in charge of marketing, and the scientific research department is the two research institutes of Miyano and his wife in Japan, and Exeter, and the upper and lower research institutes of Delof and Harry Purness. . Finally, including Uncle Akaman and Wu Mi, they formed a three-legged state.

With such a division model, of course, there is no reason for all employees to integrate and go public. Isn’t that scary?

Therefore, Alice has more things to explain to Spencer.

“According to the company’s current development, the focus of work may gradually shift to the Japanese branch. Japan, China, and even the entire Asia are emerging markets. Low-income people are particularly dependent on weight-loss drugs, and the same is true for anti-cancer drugs. And compared to the United Kingdom, Japan’s technological accumulation in biology is only strong or not, otherwise, what do we still want that science and technology park to do, right?”

“So here in the United Kingdom, the current task is to completely stabilize the pharmaceutical market. Not only for weight loss drugs, since we already have 17 pharmaceutical factories in Europe, of course, we have to open up most of the categories of channels. The pharmaceutical group has a history of more than 100 years, and there should be new members joining.”

Spencer obviously felt a sense of relief: “The European pharmaceutical market is my old business. There is absolutely no problem in this respect. I know the entire business model of Pfizer in Europe. As long as you need it, I can not violate the confidentiality treaty. Under the premise of helping you reproduce this pattern.”

Embarrassment is embarrassment here. It is easy for senior managers to switch jobs to peers or work in the same area ~www.mtlnovel.com~. It’s also a shame that umbrellas are selling weight-loss drugs these days. If they sell products like Viagra and aspirin, they will steal Pfizer’s original market. Spencer is very easy to eat. !

“Um… the words of annexing Pfizer… seem to be a very tempting choice.” Alice, who was not astonishing and endlessly speaking, suddenly said something like this: “Where the umbrella is secured, but the Washington route is directly on the top. Under the premise of someone, as long as we have sufficient funds, even if the acquisition is a large pharmaceutical group, the rebound effect will be much smaller, right?”

Spencer couldn’t help but the corner of his eyes jumped wildly, and the coffee he was about to drink almost sprayed out: “That needs several billions, right?”

“It requires a lot of money, billions of which are just controlling interests, I know. But, Spencer, I have analyzed the prospects of Internet finance explosions for you many times. Just sell some stocks at the peak. Don’t you still have such a sum of money?”

Spencer, who is not from the Silicon Valley community, was stunned before he remembered what Alice had said earlier, did the investor boss treat his subordinates Amway? I can really get it together, and then if I really buy a controlling stake in Pfizer…

Isn’t he Spencer ascending to heaven?
