"What''s the matter, Dr. Rothman?"

    "Oh, well, we just got the news that Roche suddenly borrowed $2 billion from Citibank!"

    "Borrowed two billion dollars?" Henry was surprised to hear the news!

    "Yes, we borrowed two billion dollars. The news is true!" Roseman said in a very positive tone.

    Henry immediately frowned. Roche originally had more than $4 billion, enough money to buy Genentech. But now it''s borrowing another two billion dollars. What is it going to do?

    Henry asked Dr. Rothman, "do you know why they borrowed $2 billion from the bank?"

    Dr. Rothman shook his head and thought, "not yet! However, I guess it''s probably related to the acquisition of Genentech! Due to our intervention, Roche failed to acquire Genentech. Now they have borrowed another $2 billion. I''m worried that Genentech will not be able to resist the temptation. "

    "Tell them that our offer won''t be less than Roche''s!!" Henry said in a low voice.

    "But..."

    Henry interrupted: "you just tell them about the money, I''ll find a way!"

    "Good!"

    After Henry hung up, he couldn''t help being silent!

    The unknown is the most terrible.

    Is Roche really willing to spend $6 billion on Genentech? Before, they were just willing to bid $2.1 billion for 60% of the shares

    Henry takes a deep breath. No matter what tricks Roche plays, he must make all preparations and raise enough funds on his side!!!

    Weifeng capital holds at least 5% of the shares of other companies. If it throws them all at once, it will inevitably lead to turbulence and a sharp drop in the share price. So, throw shares is also a little bit of throw, anxious not to come! Of course, you can find someone else to take over, but it also takes time!

    Therefore, it takes time for prestige capital to raise money!

    However, Roche pharmaceutical''s behavior made Henry feel a little uneasy and decided to prepare early!

    Because of his excellent memory, Henry knew the financial statements of the major companies in his name by heart and knew which companies had surplus funds. So, they told them, let the major companies immediately ready to fund, in order to make everything possible!

    Sure enough, Henry''s worry has come true!

    A few days later, Rothman called Henry and said, "Chairman, Roche has finally made a move!"

    "Go on!"

    "The thing is, Roche pharmaceutical failed repeatedly at the negotiation table, and finally decided to launch a malicious acquisition! Now, they are frantically buying shares of Genentech in the stock market! "

    When Henry heard this, he was shocked and asked, "do you mean Roche launched a hostile takeover?"

    "That''s right!" Rosman nodded, "Chairman, we need money to compete with Roche in the stock market now!"

    "Well, I see. Don''t worry. I''ll arrange for people to buy Genentech shares!"

    "OK

    Henry hung up the phone and drove to prestige capital to tell her about it.

    The more she listened, the more her face sank.

    "It''s a little tricky now!" Kailinna frowned and said, "Roche pharmaceutical can attack and defend. Now we are completely passive!"

    Henry looked at her and motioned to her to continue.

    Now, Roche has acquired Genentech''s shares in the stock market! As you probably know, with Roche''s capital entering the stock market, Genentech''s share price will certainly soar. When the price rises to a very high position, I think many large shareholders will also sell their shares! If we are indifferent, then Roche may succeed in the end and take the controlling interest in the company! "

    "But if we go into the stock market and compete with them for Genentech shares. Roche has two choices: first, to compete with each other; Second, if you can''t grab it, you can sell the stock. At that time, the stock price must have risen to a very high level, and they can make a lot of money! They can attack and defend, but we have no choice but to rush to buy stocks and bear the losses! "

    When Henry heard this analysis, he immediately understood why Roche wanted to borrow $2 billion from Citibank. It turned out that they wanted to make a big profit in the stock market!

    Henry was silent for a while. Then he looked at kellina and said firmly, "this time, we''ll go into the stock market and buy genetic!"

    "Well, no matter what decision you make, I''ll support it!" Kailinna laughs.

    "Well? Do you think we will lose money in this acquisition? Ha ha, one day, Roche will regret that it didn''t do its best to acquire Genentech this time

    "Look at your tone, is it difficult that Genentech''s market value will be very high in the future?"

    "Of course!" Henry nodded and said, "I''m very optimistic about Genentech. Even if I spend 10 billion dollars to buy it this time, I''d like to!"

    "Now that you say that, I have the bottom of my heart!"

    Subsequently, kailinna mobilized funds and presided over the acquisition action!!!

    The war between Weifeng capital and Roche is imminent!

    With the entry of prestige capital, the stock market, which was already a bustling market, suddenly boils up! Genentech''s share price soared at an incredible speed. At the end of the day, the share price rose by $5!

    This news shocked Wall Street, shocked all the shareholders!!!

    Senior Wall Street analysts quickly gave the answer that the share price rose so fast: "yesterday, Roche pharmaceutical and prestige capital two companies had a war, both sides were trying their best to grab the shares of Genentech, so Genentech''s share price rose by $5 on the same day, becoming the fastest rising stock in the past month!"

    Then, senior Wall Street analysts introduced the situation of the two companies in detail, and then suggested to the shareholders: "according to the current situation, Genentech''s share price will still rise. It is strongly recommended that the shareholders should wait a few more days and not sell for the time being!"

    The next day''s situation is just like what the senior analysts on Wall Street said. Genentech''s share price is still rising crazily. Although the increase is not as crazy as yesterday''s, it is still up $3!

    Shareholders cheered: "ha ha, it''s up again, it''s up again!"

    "Ha ha, it''s a rare chance to get rich!"

    "Ha ha, Mr. Williams is helping the poor, don''t you think so!!"

    "Ha ha, that''s right. It''s poverty alleviation!"

    “……”

    The following week, the stock price is still rising!

    The battle between Weifeng capital and Roche pharmaceutical is in full swing!!!

    At this time, kailinna found Henry and said: "prestige capital has not enough funds, you need to raise more money to come over!"

    "Don''t worry, I''m ready! This time, in addition to the $1 billion that Weifeng capital previously entered the stock market, I also prepared $4 billion! Later, I''ll ask Williams bank to transfer a billion dollars. In addition, the major companies under my name will also pay for it! "

    "These funds are enough. If the stock price is too high, Roche does not dare to continue. It will also be afraid of self Immolation. In case we suddenly sell stocks, it will lose the most in the stock market in the end! " Kailinna said with a smile, a smart pearl in hand.

    "Well, yes, you have a point!"

    In fact, what Karina said is absolutely true! At this moment, in Roche pharmaceutical company, a group of people are discussing whether the company is going to continue to snatch shares, or ready to sell! How much is this scale? People can''t decide for a moment!

    "Move on! I don''t think Henry Williams will let go easily. We''ll raise the share price by another $10! "

    "I said, seconded!"

    "Secondment!"

    “……”
