Chapter 360 God does not exist, the devil is real
When a person is dying of hunger and thirst, he will be willing to drink a glass of poisoned water even if it is passed to him.
Hans Biopharmaceuticals has already pledged everything it can to the bank, and still owes the bank more than one million. Now someone is willing to take over, which is like a ray of angel light shining down from the cloudy sky for Hans.
The two men found a single room and talked in detail about the acquisition. The other party called himself Baker and was from South Africa. South Africa was once a British colony. It became a dominion in 1910 and a member of the Commonwealth.
With the same status as Australia, Canada and New Zealand, South Africa's current rulers and big capitalists are mainly white.
"I went to the bank to investigate the situation of Hans Pharmaceuticals. All your assets have been mortgaged to the bank, and you still owe the bank 1.26 million US dollars, right?" Baker said.
"Yes." Hans replied helplessly.
"The antipyretic drug you originally developed has been taken off the shelves, and now you still owe a lot of wages, and you can't even pay the water and electricity bills, and all experiments have been stopped, right?" Baker continued to attack the other party.
Hans nodded grimly.
It can be seen that the other party has investigated himself very clearly.
"What do you want to say, Mr. Baker? You didn't come here just to tell me this, did you?" Hans said unhappily.
Baker smiled.
"I am willing to pay $500,000 to acquire Hans Biopharmaceuticals, including all debts," said Baker.
Hans was stunned.
Since the other party knows that he owes so much debt and all his assets have been mortgaged, why would he still be willing to acquire the company?
"Are you really willing to buy it?"
"Of course, but I have a few conditions," said Baker.
Hans knew that things were not that simple.
"What do you want?"
"First, I want all your shares." Baker said.
"Of course."
To Hans, his shares in the pharmaceutical company are now worthless.
"Secondly, the 500,000 will not be given to you in one lump sum. We will first give you 100,000 as a resettlement fee, and you need to cooperate with us to get the rest of the money." Baker said.
Hans was no fool, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"What do you want to do?" Hans asked.
Beck smiled, looked Hans in the eye and said, "Do you think anyone would spend millions to acquire a company that is worthless?"
Hans shook his head hard.
“Neither do we.”
"What I'm going to say next is extremely private. If it's leaked, your life and that of your family might be in danger. Do you want to hear it?" Baker's voice became a little cold.
Hans shuddered.
He swallowed hard.
After thinking for a few seconds, Hans nodded.
"Okay, now that you have made the decision, I'll tell you. It's very simple. We plan to use your pharmaceutical company to speculate on capital and push up the stock price to make a profit." Baker explained the reason.
In fact, Hans had already thought of this just now, and now the other party told him, confirming his guess.
"So what do you want me to do?" Hans asked.
"Cooperate with us. You are the boss of Hans Pharmaceuticals and the chief researcher. As long as we cooperate well, we can push up the stock price, and you can get the remaining 400,000. If you do well, you may even get more."
Baker looked at Hans with a smile on his face.
Like a demon that lures humans to hell.
Hans understood that the so-called acquisition and the 500,000 yuan they gave him were actually meant to pull him into their team to do this financial scam together, and he was the one standing in front.
To answer or not to answer?
Now Hans needs to make a decision, and this decision may affect his life.
If you don't sell.
Hans Biopharmaceuticals will be taken over by the bank in less than a month, and he will be burdened with huge debts. Those debts will completely crush him. He will go bankrupt, and his wife and children will be homeless and even worry about having a full meal.
If he agrees, he will get the money and solve the current crisis. As for the future, if the matter is exposed, he may go to jail.
He knew that God did not exist.
Only the devil is real.
He took a gulp of wine.
Hans looked at Beck.
"I agree!"
For the sake of his three children, he knew he had no way out and would jump into the abyss.
"But I want 200,000. I need to settle my wife and children first." Hans said through gritted teeth.
Baker thought for a moment.
"Okay, I'll give you 200,000."
......
When Hans returned home, his wife was a little angry when she saw her husband who was drunk. She turned back to the bedroom. The children were already asleep, so Hans went into their rooms one by one.
The eldest daughter Laura is 7 years old, the second daughter Reese is 5 years old, and the youngest son Hans is only 3 years old. They all slept soundly, and Hans kissed them on the face one by one.
Back in the master bedroom, his wife was already lying down with her back to Hans. Hans felt helpless. When he was at the peak of his career, he met his beautiful wife Mary and they had always lived a happy life. But now that he was down and out, problems arose.
Love actually deteriorates.
Money is the catalyst of love. Whether it develops in a good direction or a bad direction depends on how much money you have.
"Mary, I want to discuss something with you."
"What is it?"
"I plan to immigrate with you." Hans said.
Mary was a little surprised and turned to look at her husband. "Immigration? Where to immigrate to? Besides, where can we afford to immigrate now?"
"I borrowed some money from a friend. I don't plan to use it in the research institute. You always said it was a bottomless pit. Now I think it is true. I plan to use this money to help you immigrate and leave the rest to you. As for the debt, I will figure out a way myself." Hans said.
Mary sat up in surprise.
"Can't we stay in America?" Mary asked.
She has now gotten used to life in the United States.
Hans shook his head. "If you stay in the United States, you will share the debt with me. If you go abroad, the money can stay."
Mary knew that this was probably the last solution her husband could come up with.
Seeing her husband looking haggard, Mary felt distressed at this moment. She stood up, took her husband to the bathroom, helped him wash up, and after they returned to the bed, Mary leaned over to him enthusiastically.
Ever since the incident at the company, the two hadn't done sex for a long time. Maybe because they were about to separate, they both became interested and indulged themselves in it until they were sweating profusely.
......
the next day.
Hans began to help his wife and children immigrate. Mary was originally of Portuguese descent and lived in Portugal as a child. She came to the United States from Portugal on the eve of the outbreak of World War II. This time, Mary and her children immigrated to Portugal.
Mary knows Portuguese and will be more accustomed to life there.
Things went very smoothly and the procedures were completed in just a few days. Hans personally sent his wife and children to Portugal and bought a house with a yard in Porto, the city where Mary originally lived. The family finally settled down.
Hans handed Mary a passbook and said, "There is $150,000 in it. It is for living expenses for you and your children. It is deposited in Wells Fargo Bank. There is also a Wells Fargo Bank in Portugal. You can withdraw money there."
"Hans."
The wife looked at her husband with some reluctance.
"Don't worry, once I've dealt with the pharmaceutical company's affairs, I will come and reunite with you. Maybe I'll find a university to teach at, or work as a researcher in a company. Porto has such beautiful scenery, and I also like the sea, so I can go fishing. I believe life here must be very comfortable." Hans smiled and comforted his wife.
A few days later, Hans said goodbye to his wife and children and returned to the United States. When he returned to Hans Biopharmaceuticals, the first thing he did was to call together the staff who were still there.
Pay wages.
The wages had already been delayed for two months, and people were complaining a lot.
When the wages were distributed, someone curiously asked Hans, "Boss, did you find money again?"
Hans smiled confidently, "I have found a new investment partner. Now Hans Pharmaceuticals can continue its research. Don't worry, your salaries will be paid on time every month in the future."
The staff cheered when they heard it.
In fact, at this time,
Hans Biopharmaceuticals is no longer owned by Hans. 70% of Hans' shares were all acquired by a Cayman offshore company.
As for the boss,
Keep it confidential.
Even if we find out, it will be useless. He is from a small city in South Africa and his name and identity are all made up. How can we find him?
What,
You said this is not in compliance with the law.
Cayman Hardy has the final say.
Hans Pharmaceuticals is a listed company.
The stock price is now only 4.6 cents, that's right, not dollars but cents.
During this period, Andy has sent people to quietly buy up Hans Biopharmaceuticals' stocks. If the stock price climbs a little higher, he will make some operations, such as releasing some bad news, saying that Hans Pharmaceuticals may go bankrupt. In short, he is suppressing the stock while absorbing it.
Andy plans to buy back all the outstanding shares, or at least 95% or more. Of course, not in one account, but spread across hundreds of accounts. There is plenty of time for the operation this time, and Andy and his team are not in a hurry, so they can just take it step by step.
All that’s left is to raise it.
When you need this mine one day, you will detonate it.
Hans is now the chief researcher of Hans Pharmaceuticals, and he is devoting all his efforts to developing a specific drug for tuberculosis. However, starting from today, all data will be managed by him alone, and others will only do auxiliary work. Now that Hans has no worries, he has begun to devote himself to research.
Hardy had a very comfortable time during this period. He had time to manage his own business and to take the women out to play when he had nothing to do.
Ava, Sarah and Tyler are all in Los Angeles.
The interest is coming.
He would also go to Hedy Lamarr's house to do it.
On the way, he made a special trip to the Cayman Islands, flew to Miami, and then took a boat from Miami to the Cayman Islands.
The Cayman Islands are now like a large construction site, with construction sites everywhere and the dock being expanded. The water here is deep enough and it is also a harbor, so there is no need to worry about storms. It is a natural harbor with extremely excellent conditions.
The airport in the distance is under construction. An airport that can take off and land large aircraft will be built here, with a runway of 4,000 meters long.
The Ring Island Highway is under construction, with a total length of about 400 kilometers. When it is completed, you can drive around the island and enjoy the scenery everywhere.
The city is under construction.
The Governor's Palace, government buildings, military barracks and military ports, registered company buildings, bank locations, water conservancy companies, power companies, beach villas, etc.
Compared with other bank locations, the one built by Wells Fargo is the largest and most luxurious, with a huge underground vault. In the future, it will become the largest reserve bank in Cayman, storing gold, jewelry and currency from all over the world.
The Cayman Casino is larger than several casinos in Las Vegas, including the main casino building and the hotel.
Not far away is the best beach in Cayman, which is seven kilometers long and is all fine white sand. In later generations, this place became a famous diving destination.
There is also a large group of villas and hotel areas along the beach.
Not far from the casino, a wide shopping street will be built. In the future, this will become a duty-free shopping area, and luxury goods from all over the world will be concentrated here.
Clothes, shoes, leather goods, jewelry, watches, perfumes, cosmetics, drinks, golf equipment, pens, smoking utensils, cigars...
There may be thousands of brands involved.
In addition to financial business, tourism and gambling, people come to the Cayman Islands for shopping. There are no taxes here and luxury goods are cheap. In the future, this will become the world's largest luxury shopping paradise.
