Chapter 1816

One of the basic knowledge that the Western medical community clearly recognizes is that there is no medicine to cure a cold caused by a virus.

So, how can a drug be designated to treat a viral cold?

Perhaps the reason is simple: in 2005, the Pentagon ordered that all American soldiers be vaccinated against avian influenza. Then Defense Secretary rams announced that he would set aside the Defense Department's $1 billion budget for the purchase and storage of drugs and vaccines, including Tamiflu.

Then president xiaofeixie called to ask Congress to allocate another two billion dollars to buy vaccines. But behind this is the fact that former US Defense Secretary Ramses was the chairman of the board of directors of a pharmaceutical company in California before he took the post of Defense Secretary, and the company had the global exclusive patent right of avian influenza vaccine.

The company sold the right to sell the drug to Swiss pharmaceutical giant Lodge. He is still the largest shareholder of the pharmaceutical company after he became the defense minister, and the profit from selling drugs belongs to him. Through this, the pharmaceutical company's share price has risen sevenfold, adding millions of dollars to the former defense chief's income.

Through the financial crisis, let Andy understand one thing, that is, the most powerful weapon is panic. But now the panic caused by swine flu, light has no effect, heavy trouble too much, now, just right.

And creating panic is far more than just selling unsalable drugs. Vaccination is also one of the most alarming aspects of deception. If the final alert is raised to level 6 due to the outbreak, the drugs and vaccines that have not been tested in the whole process can be put into use directly!

No mistake, it's directly put into use. It's natural to know that this regulation is correct when a real epidemic occurs, but it's not the case now. The premise of a serious epidemic does not exist. In this case, it is dangerous to inject people with vaccines that have potential safety hazards.

Of course, the world is so big, there are all kinds of voices, believe it or not, all in themselves!

Andy didn't want to get a clear idea of the deep interest entanglement. He just needs to confirm that the swine flu is harmless to himself. As for how dirty it is, he has no interest in it. Since he stood at the top of the pyramid and saw many truths of the world, he knows that many things, international struggles and so on, are real and objective, To see a problem, we must have a global perspective. To see any large-scale event, we need to see who is behind, whose interests, who is damaged, who is in the middle, and whether we can get benefits from it...

No way, who let him Andy Smith is also a member of the world's top vested interest holders!

According to the analysis of the think tank, if who decides to declare a pandemic emergency, the biggest result is to sponsor the profits of those pharmaceutical giants, the scale can reach 10 billion euros!

Therefore, there is a phenomenon: the U.S. stock market, the pharmaceutical industry soared, the European stock market, the swine flu pharmaceutical sector soared, the Chinese stock market, every day there are several billion injected into the pharmaceutical sector, 25 pharmaceutical stocks up and down, the global stock market, the pharmaceutical industry share price all the way up.

Andy, who has been in the pharmaceutical sector for a long time, naturally made a lot of money. Although he is not the biggest winner, he is also a vested interest. Therefore, his media did not question or disclose the so-called truth. Because this Nai cheese is too big, even if he is willful, he will not be the enemy of the whole pharmaceutical and medical industry.

$130 million!

This is the money that the think tank has made for him so far from the stocks of global pharmaceutical companies. Compared with his assets, the money is not much. However, this is just the beginning. As the events ferment, the stock price will rise and the profits will be more.

Of course, even if another two hundred million, three hundred million, for Andy now, it is just a few more figures. But Andy likes to win. He likes to win all the time. He doesn't want to lose.

Because the way of trade is to defend invincible position and attack the enemy who can win. A loss of 50% of a million becomes half a million, and a gain of half a million to a million is only 100% of the profit. Every success, though, will only make him take a small step. But every time he fails, he will take a big step back. It takes an hour to walk from the first floor to the top floor of the Empire State building. But jump from the top of the building, as long as 30 seconds, you can go back to the bottom.

No way, it's an unstoppable progress with time, the sense of urgency brought by his plug-in advantages disappearing, and time decides everything. Life is not just a competition of strategy, but also a competition of time and life to some extent. 15 years ago, even if only 5% of the company's profits were sustained every year, its total wealth growth would be enough to be proud of the world.

"ah sneeze" -

Andy clicks the mouse to turn off the video window, ends the meeting, sneezes suddenly, frowns at the nose and Tucao, "who make complaints about me behind my back?"

Wearing a blue T-shirt, white back belt pants, pink bow tie, pretty face and water embellished Yan, sister Ziling, who looks like a girl, is sitting while reading a novel by Andy. Hearing Andy sneezing and mumbling, she puts down the book with a sweet smile on her face, stands up and walks to the fully open landing door, pulls the landing door, and says in a gentle voice:“ Ha ha, sometimes you really feel that you are a Chinese, even you know this kind of stem, you'd better close the door of the whereabouts, the mountain wind is still a little cold now... ""Mountain wind? I still feel that someone is behind me Andy frowned and shook his head and said, in exchange for sister Ziling's helpless smile.

and Andy make complaints about him. At this moment, there are people, no, a group of people are discussing him.

Boston, the capital and largest city of Massachusetts, once known as the "center of the universe".

“。。。 We hope that this well-known newspaper will last, but if the Boston Globe union continues to refuse to cut spending, then this old American newspaper will have to be shut down! "

In the conference room of the Boston Globe headquarters building, Arthur souzberg, chairman of the New York Times Company, said with a gloomy face and a trace of anger and helplessness in his eyes. He didn't care because the editor and executives of the Boston Globe in the conference room looked scared after he said this.

The New York Times invested $1.1 billion in 1993 to buy the Boston Globe. But as the plight of the US press intensifies. The 137 year old newspaper lost $50 million last year and is expected to lose $85 million this year.

The Boston Globe's daily circulation has fallen 11% as more readers get news online and marketers cut back on spending during the downturn. In addition, the financial situation of the parent company, the New York Times, is also in short supply. Originally, it was intended to continue to lay off staff and reduce expenditure to get through the difficulties. However, the 13 trade unions under the newspaper firmly refused to give in on the benefit of 20 million dollars. The company could not help but make the decision to close the newspaper.

The decision angered the Boston Globe staff, union representatives and some private people over the "threat" from the New York Times, which is now holding a demonstration in front of the newspaper headquarters in Boston.

However, these demonstrations can't change anything. The interests are always the only thing that entrepreneurs value. As for the employees, trade unions and so on who are now looking for jobs for these business tycoons, they are just a group of unemployed wretches.

"Let's continue to talk with the unions, cut costs, and let them understand that because of the current economic environment, the Boston Globe is inevitable. The newspaper is closed, and no one wants to see it." The editor of the Boston Globe hurriedly said, with an ugly face, that he really didn't want to see the paper shut down.

"Layoffs, cost reduction measures, we can talk to the labor union again, they will make a compromise. Now it's hard to find a buyer to sell the Boston Globe, and the cost of closing is really too high." The CEO of Boston Globe actively persuaded him that he didn't want the 137 year old newspaper to be closed in his hands.

A higher cost of closure touched the nerve of Arthur souzberg, chairman of the New York Times company. No way. In the current economic situation, the New York Times Company's life is not easy. A loss of $1.1 billion was reported at the end of 2008. In order to maintain it, the company also had to sell 21 floors of the Manhattan headquarters building in New York, raising $225 million to ease the funding shortage.

Wait...

In a flash of inspiration, he could not help looking around the crowd for a week and then said, "maybe it's not hard to find a buyer."

When he said this, everyone's eyes were focused on his face. He said lightly, "Andy Smith, our richest man in the new world, may be very interested!"
