There were nearly 2,000 listed companies, but in the end, Yang Chen selected less than 70 companies, including more than a dozen pharmaceutical companies with high market value.

Although Yang Chen didn't remember any of the names of the more than ten pharmaceutical companies, but influenced by the huge profits of the pharmaceutical industry in later generations, Yang Chen still took out all the pharmaceutical companies that Huo Jianhuang had collected and had begun to take shape.

Pharmaceutical companies are different from other industries. Many companies in other industries have more or less shortcuts to take, but pharmaceutical companies alone cannot.

Any drug produced by a pharmaceutical company relies on thousands of trials.

There is a saying in the pharmaceutical industry that the cost of the first drug is US$500 million, so the cost of the second drug may only be five cents.

This sentence is very realistic and reveals the R&D dilemma of the pharmaceutical industry from the side.

If you become successful, you will be able to make a lot of money.

If you fail, you will fall to the bottom, spend a lot of money, and waste time.

Especially those new drugs, special effects drugs, etc. Why are those drugs so expensive?

It’s not because of its high cost. The cost of any drug is actually not much higher.

The reason why new drugs and special drugs are expensive is largely due to the excessive initial investment by pharmaceutical companies.

Private pharmaceutical companies, if they want to continue to develop new drugs, need to invest a lot of money in advance, but where does the money come from?

There is no doubt that it is naturally obtained from the hands of patients.

We all know that the pharmaceutical industry is hugely profitable, but the huge profits here actually stem from its huge initial investment. The creation of innovative drugs is based on screening thousands of compounds and eliminating them step by step before a few effective drugs are obtained.

Labor and R&D costs are high, and the risk of failure is extremely high. The R&D cycle for some patented drugs can even be as long as more than ten years.

For example, how many years did it take for future generations to study cancer? Until Yang Chen was reborn, pharmaceutical companies all over the world were still studying it.

Risks and benefits coexist. If there are no high profits, which company is willing to undertake such high-risk, long-term, and high-investment drug research and development?

These pharmaceutical companies and their contributions to mankind are unquestionable.

But at the same time, it is also deeply heartbreaking to prevent people from getting sick and not being able to get sick.

Of course, Yang Chen doesn't have much interest in that type of pharmaceutical company. He is personally only interested in health care pharmaceutical companies.

Health care drugs are the truly hugely profitable segment of the pharmaceutical industry, and everyone is willing to make as much money as they want in this segment, and there is no question of unconscionability.

Health medicine is a favorite of the middle class and the rich, and is not a must-have for everyone. It does not make money from the lowest common people.

Therefore, Yang Chen doesn't feel any guilt about making this kind of money, no matter how much it is.

The pharmaceutical industry in the United States is recognized around the world. Yang Chen not only wants to invest in those pharmaceutical companies with potential, but also wants to acquire one or two companies to help him research health care drugs.

A person's health is always the most important thing, especially when they get older. How many people, in the final stage of their lives, don't think about anything else but just want to live for two more days, especially those rich people.

The expenses in this area are all without batting an eyelid.

In addition, there are cosmetics companies.

Most of the famous cosmetic companies of later generations were concentrated in island countries, but cosmetics and medicine are also inseparable, and the two can be studied together.

The best money in the world is the money in the hands of women and children.

The huge profits from cosmetics are not much lower than those from health products.

When Yang Chen finished flipping through the last folder and was about to get the coffee on the table, Lin Qingxia reached out and stopped him, "It's already cold. I'll order you another cup."

"I'll go." Before Lin Qingxia could get up, Kelly had already stood up.

Lin Qingxia nodded and saw Yang Chen frowning and rubbing his temples, so she stood up and walked behind Yang Chen, placed her jade hands on Yang Chen's head, and pressed it gently.

While Yang Chen was enjoying Lin Qingxia's massage, he told Huo Jianheng, who was carefully looking through the companies he selected: "Send the detailed information of the companies I selected to the hotel tonight. I will look at them carefully."

one time."

Hearing this, Huo Jianhuang nodded, and then couldn't help but ask: "Where are the others?"

To be honest, he could understand half of the companies Yang Chen selected, but he couldn't understand the other half at all.

For example, Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, and Berkshire Hathaway are several listed companies with high market values. Huo Jianheng feels that the market value of these companies is too high, and it will be difficult for them to have room for growth in the future.

Especially Berkshire Hathaway, which was formerly a textile factory company and later became an investment company. The whole company is so weird that he can't see any room for appreciation.

Yang Chen didn't intend to explain anything to Huo Jianhuang, and simply ordered: "Don't worry about the others for now. After I check the company information, I will set up several offshore investment companies, and then I will try my best to acquire these companies.

.”

"But be careful and try to diversify your holdings..."

To be honest, Yang Chen has no interest at all in controlling and controlling large companies.

His main purpose is to make money, and European and American countries can never become his foundation.

His territory is in Asia, in the future interior.

Because the U.S. government will not allow him to control these companies.

Look at the late 1980s, there were so many awesome people in the island country, and they were everywhere in the world buying and selling.

But what happened in the end?

Not all the things he put into his mouth were spit out again.

As a lesson learned from the past, not even the shameless islanders can match the hypocritical face of the old Americans.

Is it possible for a man with small arms and legs to reason with a rogue country?

In any antitrust investigation, let alone making money, if it can preserve capital, it will be regarded as a great one.

In this case, it is better to quietly acquire some stocks, wait for the value of these companies to appreciate, and then take advantage of the opportunity to make some big money to spend.

Even if you get an advantage in this way, the United States will not do anything wrong.

After all, it is a capitalist country, and there are some rules of the game that should be followed and need to be followed.

Seeing what Yang Chen said, Huo Jianhuang didn't raise any objections. He had been with Yang Chen for a long time and knew Yang Chen's character and conduct.

Once something is decided, no one can change it.

So, he asked: "So, boss, how much money are you prepared to invest to acquire the stocks of these companies?"

Yang Chen didn't think twice and said directly: "All the money earned in the United States will be invested here in the future. This time Orange Technology's profits from game consoles have reached more than 800 million U.S. dollars. This is the initial capital."

Invest 800 million now, and in a few decades, it may be 80 billion.

If he didn't make this money, Yang Chen would feel that his conscience would hurt, and he had to make enough money, even to the point of death.
