Burning warehouses, factories, and even office buildings are not serious problems for a pharmaceutical giant.
After all, the fire losses can be compensated by the insurance company, and such a large pharmaceutical company must have a lot of cash deposited in the bank.
But if the laboratory where data was stored and drugs were developed was burned down, it would be a fatal blow. It can be said that decades of research efforts of "Li Lai Pharmaceutical" were destroyed.
As mentioned in the previous article, there is a "10-law of drugs", which means that the research of a drug takes 10 years and costs 1 billion US dollars, with only a 10% success rate.
So, the drug trials that have been completed or are currently underway in Lilai Pharmaceuticals' laboratories are worth more than a billion dollars, possibly tens of billions.
The key is that the information in the safe contains the production process of Li Lai's flagship product, which is the company's top secret. If other pharmaceutical companies get it, they can easily copy it.
In front of money, anyone can become a "rogue". This is not an inherent privilege.
Now Paulk couldn't hold on any longer and fainted on the spot. Li Lai Company was finished.
The news of the fire that broke out in Indianapolis that night quickly spread across the country, and almost all media outlets rushed to report on it. It was impossible to conceal such a big thing.
When the market opened the next day, the stock price of Lili Pharmaceuticals fell by more than half, from the peak of 22 US dollars to 5 US dollars, which was extremely tragic.
Investors all know that even if the company did not go bankrupt, post-disaster reconstruction would take several years. In addition, all research data and process formulas were burned, which means that the pharmaceutical company's foundation is gone.
Not only that, a fire caused many contracts to be unable to be fulfilled, which meant that the company had to face numerous lawsuits for compensation. No matter how much money the company had, it could not afford such a hassle.
"Lilai Pharmaceutical" will definitely withdraw from the ranks of the top ten pharmaceutical companies in the United States from now on. Why keep such stocks and wait for the New Year?
Similarly, the market share vacated by Lilai Pharmaceutical will be immediately swallowed up by other pharmaceutical companies. Even if Lilai resumes production in a few years, the market will have been divided up and it will be completely gone.
That night, Chen Xia sat in the Central Canal Garden, eating potato chips and watching the fire all over the sky.
I have to sigh: this fire is really beautiful and spectacular, but the price is a bit too high.
Well, after returning home, I must strengthen the fire drills of several of my companies...
The news of the massive fire at the Lilai Pharmaceuticals headquarters spread throughout the American pharmaceutical community that very night.
That night, I don't know how many pharmaceutical company bosses opened champagne to celebrate, and how many pharmaceutical companies held meetings overnight to plan how to seize Lilai Pharmaceutical's market share.
But the biggest reaction and the most shocking came from Pfizer and Chen Shuqin.
Chen Shuqin knew that her nephew had the support of the "Long Group". The previous robbery of Wing Lung Bank in Hong Kong was done by them.
This time, "Lilai Pharmaceutical" wanted to counterfeit the patent of its own PV company, and even planned to produce and sell it first, which greatly offended Chen Xia.
So the "Lilai Pharmaceutical Fire" is definitely not a coincidence.
Chen Xia had just left when a fire broke out the next day, burning the entire company and pharmaceutical factory to ashes. It must have been his doing.
Chen Shuqin made up her mind that she would never tell this matter to anyone else.
Of course, as a business woman, I have no aversion to such unconventional means. When doing business, on-site and off-site strategies are equally important.
She had seen a lot of fighting and killing in Hong Kong, even the extermination of entire families.
Kindness is not suitable for commanding an army, and kindness is also not suitable for doing business.
Chen Shuqin knew what was going on, so she acted relatively calmly, but everyone at Pfizer, from the chairman to the president to the senior executives, was no longer calm.
Especially Marcia, she had just told Chen Xia about Lilai Pharmaceutical a few days ago, but Lilai Pharmaceutical was destroyed the next day.
Executives who have grown up in conspiracy theories for a long time would never think this was an accident.
Pfizer even secretly commissioned some intelligence agencies to privately investigate where the Lincoln SUV driven by Chen Xia had gone. The result is self-evident.
He went to Indianapolis, which is where Lilly's headquarters is, and that night they had this massive fire that the authorities classified as a "suspected attack."
Is this a coincidence?
It would be better to let them believe that Jesus was not born of the Virgin Mary than to let them believe that this was a coincidence.
The top management of Pfizer secretly held an internal meeting. Although they didn't know how Chen Xia managed to burn down Lilai Pharmaceuticals overnight and put it into irretrievable disaster.
But they knew that it was best not to offend such a strong man with a mysterious background and even mysterious armed forces.
On the contrary, the two companies must maintain close cooperation and must try their best to gain the friendship of Chen Xia and Xiangjiang PV Pharmaceuticals.
If we offend him one day, how many Pfizer companies can withstand such a fire?
Just as the entire United States was shaken and the FBI and CIA were frantically searching for related terrorist organizations, Chen was whistling happily on his way to the Walmart headquarters in Arkansas.
He was confident that no one would doubt him.
One is that he did not reveal his whereabouts (he thought he did not).
And even if he was exposed, so what? He was on a road trip to Arkansas to visit an old friend. Isn't it normal for him to pass through Indianapolis?
What, wrong route? Come on, how can you follow a strict road trip? You should just drive wherever you want.
Which old friend should I go to in Arkansas? How about Bill Clinton, the current governor and future president?
What? He farted?
Okay, then call Mr. Sam Walton and ask if Chen Xia from China is his friend? Can you offend such a big shot?
Chen Xia's idea is simply perfect, and he is not afraid of anyone's investigation or questioning at all.
Another thing is that on the surface he had no conflicts with Lilai Pharmaceutical and had no motive to commit the crime.
The specimens that Pfizer stole from Lilai were top secret and were the work of industrial espionage. Lilai was not aware of this, so it was absolutely impossible for it to suspect Chen Xiatou.
Finally, if it was a large-scale "terrorist attack," where would the hundreds of tons of gasoline or bombs come from? Where would so many "terrorists" come from? And how would they retreat?
Anyway, the official report never believed that a single person could commit such a heinous crime. It must have been a gang of at least dozens or even hundreds of people.
Does Chen Xia meet this standard?
hehe.
