242-Gambling Agreement

In the end, Qian Wenhuan dispatched Anthony and Jennifer to head to Los Angeles in North America with a group of negotiating experts.

Anthony and Jennifer are both Swiss. Like Qian Wenhuan, they were both employees of Preston. After Preston was acquired by Chen Chen, because one of them was in business negotiations and the other was legal counsel. , So they were all sent to Africa.

In the beginning, the two were only attracted by the high salary they came here. They wanted to earn a few years before resigning, but they didn't expect Blacklight Technology to develop better in Africa, so the two of them stayed at ease.

After getting off the plane from Los Angeles, a group of people rushed to Osmond Biotech after a night of repairs.

Jennifer wore a white-collar OL costume and walked off the rented commercial car, but he couldn't help frowning.

It's already close to the suburbs, it looks extremely desolate, and the office building in front of you is even more dilapidated, at least 15 years old.

"Is this the office of Osmond Biotech?"

Jennifer shook his head, "This company doesn't look very good. I really don't know why the above wants us to spend all our efforts to acquire this company."

"Maybe this company has developed some new medicines that have been attracted to."

Anthony shrugged, "Well, these are not what we should be concerned about, and it seems that the other party does not want to welcome us, I think we should go in directly."

With that, the two walked into the office building with the negotiating team.

"We are employees of Blackwatch. I'm Anthony from the Department of Commerce, and this is Jennifer from the Legal Department. We want to see the Osmond on the 23rd floor. We have an appointment."

Inside the office building, Anthony answered the security question with peace of mind.

"please wait for a moment."

The security picked up the phone and dialed the Osmond company number from the address book.

After two minutes, the security put down the phone and said, "Okay, please go up some of you, the people from Osmond Company are waiting on the 23rd floor."

"Thanks."

Everyone got on the elevator one after another and quickly reached the 23rd floor.

The office building uses a door-to-door elevator, so as soon as the elevator exits, a few people meet the blonde girl waiting in front of the elevator.

The blonde looks sexy and wears a secretary costume, but after seeing everyone, she is not very enthusiastic, "A few of you from Blackwatch, please follow me."

With that, she turned around and walked towards the conference room first.

This attitude made everyone frown.

After leading the crowd to the conference room, she only said a few words and then left again, leaving everyone here.

"It feels wrong."

Jennifer looked around and said, "This company is not enthusiastic about our coming. Don't they know that we are here to raise money?"

"It should be the financing."

Anthony thoughtfully, "We are too late."

While everyone was talking in low voices, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes pushed in and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I had a meeting just now, so I'm neglecting everyone."

Speaking of him, he reached out to Anthony, "I am Parker, the founder of Osmond Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and the current board member and CEO of the company.

Anthony and the crowd slowly stood up and stretched out their hands, "We are the manager of the commerce department of Blackwatch Biotechnology, and Ms. Jennifer next to me is the manager of the legal department. I am glad to meet you."

After some greetings, the two parties were divided into guest and host, and Parker said directly, "Blackwatch has gained fame in the past two years. I wonder if the two of you are here this time, is there any business that can cooperate with our company? "

"I heard that your company is conducting Series B financing, I wonder if this is the case?"

Anthony asked, "After our understanding, your company's development has reached a stage of rapid growth. I don't know what your company's strategy is, but I think your company should need a strategic investment like our Blackwatch Company. By."

As he said, Anthony snapped his fingers, and the men behind him immediately took out a contract and handed it to Anthony, while Anthony pushed the contract to Parker, "Mr. Parker, I won’t introduce our Blackwatch company in detail. I believe you, as similar companies, already know a lot, so you can take a look at this contract."

Parker nodded, took the contract and turned a few pages, and then said, "If you choose a strategic partner, Blackwatch is indeed a good choice, but it is a pity that our B round financing goal has been reached. The board of directors has also settled down, and I am afraid that it cannot accept your company’s kindness.

"Mr. Parker no longer think about it?"

Anthony frowned. "After the B round of financing, your company should be ready to expand into new business. I don't know what your company's development direction is. Maybe our company can provide some help after cooperation."

Parker shook his head when he heard the words, "Our company's next direction will be announced soon, and the next step is to try to overcome Alzheimer's disease."

As he said, Parker said with a chuckle, "I know that Blackwatch also has a program called "Alzheimer's disease reversal treatment", which can suppress the deterioration of Alzheimer's disease, but our purpose is different. We are I hope to cure this disease completely, not suppress it."

Anthony and Jennifer looked at each other, and there was a flash of suspicion in their eyes. No wonder the other party has no good attitude towards him. It turned out that the other party thought he had received the news here because he came here to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Did your research come?

Anthony thought a little deeper. The reason why the other party is so hard-hearted does not mean that the other party has more than one drug development plan as simple as that, but it should have already achieved certain results!

Thinking of this, Anthony couldn't help but shook his head. Obviously, the upper management of the company already knew that the other party had the results of treating Alzheimer's disease, so they came to share a piece of the pie and send themselves to invest, right?

But now it seems that his mission is about to fail.

So Anthony finally persuaded him according to the process, and when he saw that the other party still refused, he stood up with regret, "If this is the case, then we won't force it and leave."

Jennifer on the side took out his business card and handed it to Parker, "If you change your mind or want to raise Series C, you can consider our company."

"Okay, sure, everyone, go slowly."

Putting Anthony and his party into the elevator, Parker's expression was completely gloomy after the elevator doors were completely closed, "Damn, do so many people know that we are developing AD-001? But how is this possible..."

...

"Yes, Mr. Qian, the other side rejected us..."

"The news we have discovered is that they seem to be developing drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease, and there is no response to the contract we drafted."

"Mine, I know, I will go to the venture capital to take a look."

After leaving the company, Anthony called Qian Wenhuan to report the situation, and then went to the venture capital companies that invested in Osmond Biotechnology.

There are a total of six venture capital firms that invest in Osmond Biotech, all of which are venture capital institutions under various consortiums. These institutions collectively occupy 80% of Osmond’s shares.

Among them, a company called "Munster Capital" occupied 50% of Osmond's shares.

Ever since, Anthony's side naturally went directly to the company of Manchester Capital.

"Must Capital and Osmond had already signed a gambling agreement when they signed the contract."

In the car, Jennifer looked at the information on the computer and frowned. "The terms of the agreement are: Munster Capital will buy 1 billion U.S. dollars in Osmond and occupy 50% of the company. However, if Osmond fails to develop a drug to treat Alzheimer’s disease before December 31, 2025, Munster Capital has the right to require Osmond to repurchase its own equity in cash. The purchase price is principal plus 8% annual interest."

Anthony's expression changed when he heard the words, "Is Osmond crazy? How many leading pharmaceutical companies in the world have suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Isn't he a loser when he signed this gambling agreement?"

"unless……"

Anthony pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Unless this company has made some breakthrough progress in Alzheimer's disease, that's why it has such a certainty!"

"If this is the case, I am afraid that the other party will not transfer the shares of Osmond at all."

Jennifer was worried, "After all, if a drug to treat Alzheimer's disease is really developed, it can even cause medical changes. The sensation is second only to our company's announcement of the'aging reversal treatment' project. "

"Yes, I will write a report about this matter."

Anthony has a stern look. Since he is a member of Blacklight Technology, he naturally understands the importance of this matter. Once the company really develops a drug for Alzheimer’s disease, it will even let the “Alzheimer’s The "Music Disease Reversal Treatment" project has become a pile of waste paper, and its impact on Black Light Technology is too great.

So the best way to stop losses is to buy this company and make this drug a product of your own company.

Of course, this is not only Anthony's thinking, presumably the same is true of the Manchester Capital and even various venture capitalists.

With such a heavy heart, Anthony and the others went to the building of Manchester Capital again, but this time Anthony and his party did not even see the principal of Manchester Capital, only the manager of one branch. .

And the other party didn't have the slightest interest in Anthony's proposal, just maintaining the surface etiquette.

Seeing this, Anthony naturally knew the attitude of the other party, so he told the other party that he would come another day, and then turned and left.

"There is also an investor named Clifford, who is the second largest shareholder of Osmond and a partner of Parker during the same period."

Jennifer continued to look at the information and was still making his final efforts. "The above shows that Clifford invested three million US dollars in the earliest stage, occupying 40% of Osmond’s shares. After the angel round and AB After two rounds of dilution, there is still 7% left. Although it is not much, if we can win it, we will have an explanation for the company."

"I'll take a look."

Anthony stepped forward and looked at the appearance of a rich man on the computer, "Very well, let's go find him now."

According to the information provided by Blacklight Technology, Anthony and Jennifer quickly found Clifford's home, but found that each other was preparing to go out.

This is an old man who is over 60 years old and has gray beard and hair.

"You are from Blackwatch?"

Hearing Anthony self-reporting his home, the Clifford was bright and enthusiastic. "I have been admiring my name for a long time. I just made up my mind to go to Life Science City early next year. I didn’t expect to see him here. Everyone."

"So do you have time to sit down with us and talk about Osmond's equity?" Jennifer said quickly, "It won't take you a long time."

Hearing that, Clifford looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I'm about to attend a good friend's appreciation party, otherwise, you come with me, we can talk in detail at the ball."

"Is this all right?" Anthony felt a little inappropriate.

"There is nothing inappropriate. The other party is a very warm and hospitable gentleman. People often come uninvited. As long as I introduce them, your visit will not cause any trouble to the owner..."

With that said, Clifford invited the two to get into his car together, and the remaining negotiating team had to return to the hotel first.

Soon, Anthony and Jennifer arrived at a manor in Holbe Mountain.

Although I have seen many big scenes, this splendid manor still attracted Jennifer's inner wonder. This manor is as magnificent and colorful as the White House, full of the atmosphere of the British aristocracy.

At this time, the manor was already full of luxury cars, and from time to time a famous waiter came to usher these luxuriously dressed successful people out of the luxury cars into the manor, and Anthony received the same treatment here.

"Old fellow Clifford, long time no see!"

"Old boy!"

In front of the gate of the manor, a middle-aged man in his fifties stood at the door and hugged Clifford gently. Then the old man looked behind Clifford and curiously said, "These two are? "

"These two are both senior members of the Blackwatch Company, and they are here too, old man, don't neglect."

The personal relationship between the two looked really good, and Clifford smiled without even thinking about it.

"It's the Blackwatch company that developed the'aging reversal treatment' and anticancer drugs?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he looked at the two carefully.

"Yes, I'm Anthony, the manager of the commerce department of Blackwatch, and this is Jennifer, the manager of the legal department. I have long admired the name."

Anthony put on the manners of a gentleman.

"My friends, you are welcome to join us. You are really here this time."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed loudly, "We will show you a few rare things later, I promise you will be surprised!"

As he said, he welcomed everyone in with enthusiasm.
