Chapter 220 Forced (Big Chapter!!!)

Johnson \u0026 Johnson was so unlucky that a disaster came from the sky. Of course Li Zetian had to seize this opportunity. The Johnson family dared to play tricks on him before, and now they want to take revenge. The Johnson \u0026 Johnson family did not even think about who Li Zetian was. At that time, Li's Pharmaceutical Company was just one of his industries. The Johnson \u0026 Johnson family doesn't take Li Zetian seriously!

Now that Li Zetian has seized the opportunity, how can he let it go?

Soon, many American media, television and newspapers reported on the deaths caused by Johnson \u0026 Johnson drugs.

For a time, it caused great panic among people!

"Oh my god, I never thought Johnson \u0026 Johnson's medicines would kill people if they were taken!!!"

"Really? I bought a lot of Johnson \u0026 Johnson drugs before, but luckily nothing happened!" A woman patted her chest and said luckily.

"There were reports on TV and newspapers, and many people died all of a sudden. Anyway, I will never dare to buy Johnson \u0026 Johnson medicine again!"

“Strongly boycott Johnson \u0026 Johnson!”

"..."

Johnson \u0026 Johnson's stock fell again and again. Although Johnson \u0026 Johnson also asked the media to clarify that this was not a drug problem, Li Zetian hired more "scammers". He even mercilessly belittled Johnson \u0026 Johnson in an interview with reporters.

He said: "I never expected Johnson \u0026 Johnson to be such a company. Fortunately, the acquisition was not successful before. Otherwise, I would be in big trouble now. Here, I call on everyone to be careful when buying medicines. Medicines are not as good as Ordinary food is related to human life!!!”

Li Zetian's adding insult to injury undoubtedly caused Johnson \u0026 Johnson to suffer a heavier blow, and it simply made matters worse.

At this moment, the shareholders of Johnson \u0026 Johnson are like ants on a hot pot. The company's reputation has been reduced, its performance has declined, and its stock price has fallen. Everyone can't help but feel worried.

"Chronos·Li is so abominable. He actually took the opportunity to retaliate and hired the media to crazily slander and slander Johnson \u0026 Johnson, which made our public relations effects very poor! Now, American citizens regard Johnson \u0026 Johnson as poison and stay away from it! "

"Alas, if this continues, Johnson \u0026 Johnson will become worse and worse day by day!"

"Tell me, was this poisoning incident carried out by someone sent by Chronos Li?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly fell silent.

Robert Wood Johnson slammed the table angrily and said, "If he really did it, I will never let him go!"

"Mr. Johnson, regardless of whether he did it or not, he is the most suspected! We can prosecute him, thereby attracting the attention of the American people to this lawsuit, and defining this cyanide poisoning case as a "terrorist act" "Non-Johnson \u0026 Johnson drugs are poisonous!!!" Johnson \u0026 Johnson CEO James Burke said.

"Excellent!!!" Robert Wood Johnson couldn't help but excitedly patted the table after hearing this and laughed, "In this way, after the public understands the truth, the reputation of Johnson \u0026 Johnson can be restored and the company's problems can be solved. crisis!"

"Yes, Mr. Johnson!" James Burke smiled and nodded.

…

…

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Zetian was sued by Johnson \u0026 Johnson, and it was suspected that he had hired a murderer to poison him in order to take revenge on Johnson \u0026 Johnson. Soon, the California court will accept the case!

As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation all over the world!

"Holy shit! Can Johnson \u0026 Johnson be more shameless?!" The moment Li Zetian received the court summons, he could hardly help but curse!

At this moment, Johnson \u0026 Johnson held a press conference. Company CEO James Burke said to the media reporters: "Media reporters, welcome to Johnson \u0026 Johnson's press conference. I believe everyone already knows that Johnson \u0026 Johnson is suing Chronos Li. things.

Johnson \u0026 Johnson did not want to smear him without purpose. As we all know, some time ago, Chronos·Li wanted to acquire Johnson \u0026 Johnson, but failed. Therefore, we have to suspect that he harbored a grudge and paid for the poison. In addition, we have every reason to suspect that Chronos·Li is the mastermind! "

James Burke paused, glanced at everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "Chronos Li did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to bribe many media to take the opportunity to attack Johnson \u0026 Johnson, causing the stock price to plummet, and then secretly purchased Johnson \u0026 Johnson's stocks at a low price, thus Realize the purpose of acquiring Johnson \u0026 Johnson! It can be seen that Chronos Li’s ambition to acquire Johnson \u0026 Johnson has never stopped. In order to realize his ambition, he even did not hesitate to use extremely shameful means!!!" said the last sentence. At this time, it was so loud that the people present could not help but feel shaken!

After everyone heard this, they felt that what James Burke said made sense.

From this point of view, Chronos Li is indeed the most suspect!

The reporters were afraid that the world would be in chaos, so they were excited by such sensational news!

That day, media and television news broadcasted Johnson \u0026 Johnson's press conference.

"What James Burke said can't be true, right? Is Chronos Li really such a person?"

"Is there any American consortium that is upright and has not used dishonorable means? Chronos Li will not be any better!!"

"Hungry, that seems to make sense!"

"My idol is not that kind of person. Johnson \u0026 Johnson is pure slander!!!"

"..."

People couldn't help but talk about it!

Li Zetian was angry after watching the press conference. If the tiger doesn't show its power, does it think I'm a sick cat?

The next day, Li Zetian also held a press conference.

At the press conference, almost all influential media from around the world were present.

Li Zetian said solemnly: "Johnson \u0026 Johnson held a press conference yesterday, saying that I hired someone to poison me. In response, I will sue Johnson \u0026 Johnson for defamation and frame-up, and compensate me US$1 billion for reputational damage!!!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!

"I'm going to pay 1 billion US dollars for reputational damage. Did I hear it wrong?"

"That's right, that's one billion dollars that I heard too!"

"..."

At this time, Li Zetian raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Although I failed to acquire Johnson \u0026 Johnson, I will never commit murder or poison!

My wife and I established the L.Y Foundation together, and have been committed to charity since then. We have established a large number of non-profit hospitals and orphanages, helping many people, but there are many patients and there is nothing we can do!

We can only watch helplessly as they are tortured bit by bit by the disease and eventually lose their precious lives.

Whenever this happens, I always tell myself in my heart that I must work hard, I must work very hard, and I must develop drugs that can cure patients!

In order to enhance the research and development capabilities of Lee Pharmaceuticals, I decided to acquire Johnson \u0026 Johnson.

Johnson \u0026 Johnson is a top company in the world, and it was not easy to acquire it. At that time, Lee Pharmaceuticals simply could not afford that much money, so I raised money from other companies under my name and even borrowed money from banks!

Finally, as you all know, the acquisition of Johnson \u0026 Johnson failed.

In this regard, I just feel very sorry that Lee Pharmaceuticals failed to enhance its research and development capabilities and failed to develop powerful drugs to treat people's diseases as soon as possible!

If the murderer was hired to poison someone for personal gain, this might make sense. But I don’t have to do this at all. Even if Lee Pharmaceuticals’ R\u0026D speed is slower, I can still find other ways, such as acquiring more small companies, and finally forming a gene technology company. I would like to ask, is it necessary for me to commit such a despicable act as buying a murderer and poisoning someone?

You can find out whether my wife and I have received any dividends from Roche since my wife acquired it!

I can tell you clearly, no! ! !

It was never our intention to allow Roche to benefit itself.

In fact, all the money the company makes is spent on research and development, hoping to develop drugs that can solve human diseases as soon as possible.

Finally, I want to ask everyone, am I smart? "

Everyone replied in unison: "Smart!"

The sound echoed throughout the entire press conference.

Li Zetian nodded and said, "Then do you think that if I ordered someone to poison, would the person who poisoned him be caught on the spot?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

"With Chronos Li's intelligence and strength, how could he instruct someone to poison and then be caught? This is completely unreasonable! None of Chronos Li's bodyguards are powerful special forces. Is this a trivial matter? Can’t do it?”

"Yes, yes, even a fool knows that Chronos Li couldn't have done this!"

"Chronos Li is really a kind man. Although he has a very profitable pharmaceutical company under his name, he takes no money and uses it all to develop new drugs. Even when he acquired Johnson \u0026 Johnson, he couldn't bear to see patients being tortured in order to improve research and development capabilities. Like Chronos ·How could such a good person like Li pay for someone to poison him? Johnson \u0026 Johnson is simply slandering!!!"

"Chronos Li is the world's number one philanthropist and should not be slandered like this! Johnson \u0026 Johnson is rubbish. I will never buy Johnson \u0026 Johnson drugs again!"

“Boycott Johnson \u0026 Johnson!!!”

"..."

Many viewers at the scene were filled with indignation and hated Johnson \u0026 Johnson.

The next morning, the police found that the person who had poisoned had a history of mental illness and suffered from very severe depression. The poisoning was a personal act and had nothing to do with others.

As soon as the news came out, Li Zetian was completely innocent. The court ordered Johnson \u0026 Johnson to compensate Li Zetian 1 million for reputational damage. Naturally, 1 billion US dollars was impossible.

Johnson \u0026 Johnson's public relations work can be said to be a success, but it can also be said to be a failure.

The reason why it is said to be successful is that American citizens learned through the lawsuit that it was not the Johnson \u0026 Johnson drug that was faulty, but someone who had poisoned it.

The reason why it is said to have failed is because Johnson \u0026 Johnson used dirty tricks to slander Li Zetian, which aroused people's disgust. Li Zetian's sincere speech at the press conference won the favor of people around the world.

Johnson \u0026 Johnson failed to steal the chicken but lost the rice. Not only has its market share not recovered, but it has been gradually eroded away. Its performance on the stock market fully reflects the current situation of Johnson \u0026 Johnson. Since the death of the first patient, the stock price has so far been avalanche, and the market value has been less than 10 billion US dollars.

Johnson \u0026 Johnson CEO James Burke was right. Li Zetian was indeed frantically grabbing stocks in the stock market. At the same time, we also contacted major shareholders other than the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family, hoping to acquire their shares.

At this moment, Li Zetian is competing with the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family for control of Johnson \u0026 Johnson!

While the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family is wooing major shareholders, it is also competing with Li Zetian for circulating shares in the stock market. The struggle between the two sides is fierce.

"No matter what, we cannot let Chronos Li get more shares. Once the other party takes control, Johnson \u0026 Johnson will change its surname!" Robert Wood Johnson's face was heavy, and he looked at the important members of the family from left to right, and his tone was extremely serious. said.

"Understood, we will never let Chronos Li succeed!" A young talent from the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family said firmly.

"..."

At present, Johnson \u0026 Johnson's performance is poor, its image has plummeted, its future development is facing huge challenges, and its future is uncertain. Some major shareholders decided to sell their shares, and Li Zetian was generous. Many major shareholders sold their shares to Li Zetian.

As Li Zetian holds more and more shares, the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family becomes increasingly uneasy.

By November 30, Li Zetian’s shares reached 41.5%, and the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family’s shares reached 45.2%, and the gap between the two became smaller and smaller.

In the end, the key to the battle between the two sides lies in an investment bank. At this time, Goldman Sachs Group holds 8.6% of the shares of Johnson \u0026 Johnson, which can influence the pattern of this war! Whoever can win the support of Goldman Sachs Group will win!

Many people are paying attention to this Johnson \u0026 Johnson equity battle. The most exciting moment has arrived. Will Chronos Li win, or will the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family win?

"Dongfang Yuqin, will Goldman Sachs Group CEO Neil Wallace agree to have dinner with me?" In fact, Li Zetian had already made an appointment with him once, but he made an excuse and declined politely. Now, this was the second time Li Zetian asked him.

Dongfang Yuqin was calling Neil Wallace just now. As soon as she hung up the phone, Li Zetian asked.

"Mr. Li, he agreed!" Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile.

Li Zetian nodded and said calmly: "This is what I expected. Goldman Sachs Group stayed at the end just to wait for the price! At this moment, it is time to take action!"

That night, Li Zetian met with Neil Wallace, CEO of Goldman Sachs Group, at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I happened to be on a business trip abroad, so I couldn't meet you." Neil Wallace apologized as soon as he arrived.

Li Zetian smiled and said without revealing that he was deliberately hiding, "It doesn't matter, aren't we meeting now? Please sit down, Mr. Wallace."

The two sat down, and Li Zetian snapped his fingers to ask the waiter to serve the food.

"Mr. Wallace, I believe you know very well the purpose of my meeting with you. I wonder if Goldman Sachs is willing to sell its shares in Johnson \u0026 Johnson?" Li Zetian asked in a deep voice.

"Well..." Neil Wallace shook the red wine glass as if thinking.

Li Zetian was most annoyed by this kind of old fox pretending to be serious, so he said: "One billion US dollars!" This price was much higher than the price of the shares Li Zetian purchased from other people.

Neil Wallace smiled and said: "One billion US dollars is indeed a lot, but Mr. Robert Wood Johnson of the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family has made an appointment with me to meet tomorrow, so..."

Li Zetian picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said calmly: "Microsoft, Flamingo, Oracle, Intel, Galaxy Networks, Sun Computer Systems, Panda Catering, Apple and many other companies will soon be preparing to launch listing plans, with the main underwriters Business, I still haven’t decided which company to look for..."

Hearing this, Neil Wallace was stunned!

"Mr. Li, Goldman Sachs Group is definitely the best choice!" Neil Wallace assured.

Li Zetian pretended not to hear and continued to drink alone.

Neil Wallace couldn't help but smile bitterly. Chronos Li was obviously trying to get Joe, but who gave the other party such strength?

"Mr. Li, I think there is no need to meet with Robert Wood Johnson again. The Johnson \u0026 Johnson family has spent most of their money to snatch shares from you, and they certainly cannot afford US$1 billion now! Therefore, Goldman Sachs Group The shares belong to you! If it's convenient for you, after dinner, we can go to the company to sign the share transfer contract? "

"Okay, I'm very convenient!" Li Zetian smiled.

That night, Li Zetian bought another 8.6% of Johnson \u0026 Johnson's shares, holding a total of 50.1% of the shares, while the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family only held 45.2% of the shares. At this time, Li Zetian only spent US$4.27 billion to successfully complete absolute control of Johnson \u0026 Johnson.

The next day, as soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the United States. Johnson \u0026 Johnson completely changed hands! ! !

Li Zetian's actions did not stop, and then merged Johnson \u0026 Johnson into Gene Technology Company, and then injected capital to dilute Johnson \u0026 Johnson's shares to less than 10%, meeting the delisting requirements. After the company delisted, Li Zetian made an appointment with Robert Wood Johnson.

Robert Wood Johnson's face was very ugly, and there were a lot of white hairs on his head overnight.

Li Zetian showed no mercy and said calmly: "Mr. Robert Wood Johnson, I want to buy the shares held by the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family!"

Robert Wood Johnson did not give Li Zetian a good look and said coldly: "Chronos Li, don't push yourself too far!!"

"Haha, trying too hard? No, no, no, you misunderstood me. I am doing this for the good of the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family!" Li Zetian laughed.

"Hmph, for the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family?! You're just trying to lie to a three-year-old child with your words!"

Li Zetian said: "Mr. Robert Wood Johnson, are you sure you don't want to sell your shares? What if Gene Technology Company does not pay dividends for 10 years, 20 years, or even forever?"

When Robert Wood Johnson heard this, his face was full of astonishment, "All the funds of the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family have been used to purchase shares. If no dividends are paid, the family will become paupers! By then, the shares will be a piece of waste paper! If others Knowing that no dividends will be paid, no one will buy the shares, except Chronos Li, maybe he won't buy either..."

The more he thought about it, the more horrified Robert Wood Johnson became.

"Chronos Li, you are forcing my Johnson family!!" Robert Wood Johnson glared at Li Zetian and said viciously.

"Well, you can put it that way!" Li Zetian smiled lightly.

Robert Wood Johnson wanted to hit Li Zetian in the face, but he still held back and thought about it seriously. At the moment, the only thing the Johnson family could do was to sell their shares.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath and had to admit defeat.

"How much do you plan to pay?"

"$3 billion."

"How many???"

"$3 billion, didn't you hear clearly?" Li Zetian repeated.

"You want to buy the shares of the Johnson \u0026 Johnson family for US$3 billion? Chronos Li, why don't you grab it..."

"It's up to you, whether you like to sell it or not! However, I'll say it first. If you want to sell it in the future, I will only offer you a lower price!" After saying that, Li Zetian stood up and said, "Waiter, pay the bill!"
