Chapter 174 The possibility of cooperation
Where there are people, there will naturally be competition. In the biopharmaceutical commodity industry, Puke Biotechnology has always been the leader, monopolizing almost all genetic components and most of the gene activator market.
Such giant companies, which are directly or indirectly serving them across the Federation, may exceed tens of millions, radiating to all aspects of federal social life.
Some small companies that are traveling with each other can naturally survive in the cracks of Poke Company.
Blue Crystal Biotech is one of them, and it is on the verge of bankruptcy.
According to what Shi Chen learned, the company's main production project is gene activators, and the quality is quite good among its peers.
Logically speaking, this kind of commodity that mainly depends on quality, even if the factory is set up in such a remote place, it is not impossible to make a profit or even make a fortune in silence.
However, the owners of this company seem to have been squeezed by Poke and their peers recently. Of course, these are content that cannot be seen in the news media, but people who know the inside story are very clear that this situation is actually very common in various industries.
This means that after Shi Chen takes over the company, he is likely to take over these troubles.
If other investors learned about this kind of burden, they would stay away from it, but Shi Chen did not have such concerns.
At first, he didn't expect to make money from this company, and the funder behind him was Frando, the vice president of Yuntong Company. I believe that even if Shi Chen did nothing, the lady would not sit idly by and watch half of her own company be exploited and killed by her peers.
Because of this, Shi Chen looked at this simple biological company, although he was a little surprised, he had no intention of giving up.
Not long after reporting the purpose of the company's headquarters, a girl with myopia glasses trotted out, and enthusiastically but nervously led Shi Chen into the innermost office on the third floor of the company, and brought Shi Chen a glass of water and said, "Please wait here now. Our boss just went to the R&D department for inspection. I will talk to you in detail later."
Shi Chen nodded, but laughed in his heart.
It seems that although the boss of this company is embarrassed, he still wants to keep his last look, or wants to show off his posture that he is not in a hurry, and he will get a better price or treatment in the following negotiations.
But obviously the boss didn't have much confidence in his family. After Shi Chen sat down, the tea was still steaming, and another footsteps sounded in the corridor.
"I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time. Stone... Boss, right, lucky." A pleasant voice sounded: "I'm Sulun, Sulun Christie, the boss of Blue Crystal Bioengineering, and the technical director here. Just call me Sulun."
Shi Chen raised his head with interest and saw a woman in O-suit walk in and stretch out her hand to him.
"Shi Chen, I saw the information about your company's package and sale at the agency. Come and take a look."
The two hands were held and separated.
Hearing Shi Chen's words, Su Lun gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, for some reasons, there are some problems with our company's capital chain and it is extremely necessary to inject new funds, but our production process is definitely the top in the federal government. If Mr. Shi is interested, why don't I take you to visit our production workshop first?"
Shi Chen frowned slightly when he heard this. He could see that the other party was not a veteran in the mall, but some things still attracted his attention, or were dissatisfied, and asked: "But the news I read is obviously the overall package of your company's business?"
"That's right. This company is my first industry, and I love this company, and it is my hard work. So in this situation, I still hope to retain half of the controlling stake. But if I do this, I believe many people are unwilling to come and negotiate. If you are sure to choose a full-owned acquisition, then that's fine, but I will leave with my R&D team." Su Lun hesitated for a while and told the truth.
"This is a little different from the information you published." Shi Chen smiled and expressed his understanding. Just as the other party's face turned a little pale, he waved his hand and said, "No hurry, let's take me to see it first."
Su Lun had already made plans to break the talk, but looking at Shi Chen's attitude, he seemed to have the intention to continue talking. He immediately showed a reluctant smile and took Shi Chen to visit the factory.
Shi Chen squinted his eyes all the way and looked at the basic organizational structure of Lanjing Company. It has to be said that although the site of this biological company is remote and smaller, the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs.
Although the equipment in the company's production workshop is original and simple, most of it has been cleaned very clean, which shows the care of the boss of this company.
What made Shi Chen particularly satisfied was the company's R&D department. The researchers in the R&D department were generally like Su Lun, mostly young people, but the work on hand was not unfamiliar. There was a hint of desire and persistence for hope and the future in his eyes, which were somewhat anxious.
This is a group of young people who are still pursuing their dreams.
Under Su Lun's leadership, Shi Chen walked to a laboratory bench and looked through some of the R&D materials that Su Lun specifically disclosed. Shi Chen followed several projects that were the easiest to make profits in the federal government.
Just as he saw one of the pages, Shi Chen's fingers suddenly froze, and then he looked at Su Lun beside him with an extremely complicated gaze.
Su Lun seemed to be ready and looked at him without squinting.
"I seem to understand a little why people are always in trouble in your company." Shi Chen said with a smile.
Product information name on that page: First-order power gene component (modified type B)
Genetic components are patents of the Randistan family and have always been monopolized by the behemoth of Poke Bioengineering.
Now that you can still see this kind of product in this unknown small company, it is a bit interesting.
Su Lun stood up with some confidence and pretended to be tough: "The federal government does not stipulate that other companies cannot produce except for Polytechnic. If necessary, we can still pay patent tax. Moreover, this modification was developed by myself, so why can't it be sold?"
Shi Chen was amused by the other party's appearance of being guilty but insisting on holding on. However, he also knew that this was probably one of the trump cards that the other party could take out for a transaction, but it was still not rational.
However, there is another possibility, that is, the news that blue crystal can produce genetic components is no longer a secret. So I am anxious to find a reliable financial backer who has some background and is reliable.
Shi Chen is a kind of backstage funder, but he never thought that he would reliably sell genetic components to grab business with Puke. He just needed to buy a reliable biological company and a technically sound R&D team honestly and step by step, and could rely on the not-so-rich start-up capital to create what Frando wanted to see, so he could successfully repay the debt and get an extremely huge share dividend and patent dividend.
However, some of the information provided by the other party made Shi Chen think and asked: "Did you have worked in the popular science department back then?"
Su Lun's body stiffened and said with a wry smile: "This should not be a difficult secret."
After all, this is the most likely situation to be the core technology of making genetic components.
"So can I know why you gave up your generous position and chose to start a business in this remote place? This is not a wise choice, isn't it?" Shi Chen asked with narrowed eyes: "Your answer will be directly related to our next cooperation possibility."
