"Du, this castle is almost two hundred years old!"
Castle Howard-——
Under the guidance of Howard, Du Yongxiao visited this magnificent castle during the day for the first time.
"A long time ago, the famous Duke of Wellington of the British Empire lived here." Howard raised his chin and glanced at Du Yongxiao with some pride.
Du Yongxiao knew what the other person's expression meant.
He knew the name of Duke Wellington. After all, there were not many people in the world who could defeat the genius emperor Napoleon.
Du Yongxiao understood better that the other party would not invite him to visit the castle for no reason.
If there is any "love" between the two, then Howard has almost repaid the favor of saving his life, leaving only pure interests.
really--
When the two of them walked to the clock tower of the castle, Howard turned to Du Yongxiao and said, "To be honest, when you proposed investing in medical research, I laughed at it and was skeptical. I thought you, a layman, were looking inside. Throwing money is a complete joke."
"But now, I have to apologize to you. It's because of my short-sightedness, or maybe it's because of your bad luck!"
After a pause, Howard said: "The Viagra pill you developed is very effective!"
Du Yongxiao asked knowingly: "My new drug has not yet been launched, how do you know it is effective?"
"Haha, Du, you and I are both smart people, there is no need to beat around the bush." Howard looked at Du Yongxiao with hawk eyes, "I am very interested in this new drug of yours, can you sell it to me?"
Du Yongxiao smiled, "I have heard this sentence many times recently. The first time it was said to me by Mr. Fred, the boss of Bicheng Pharmaceuticals, and my answer is - no!"
"I can give you a lot of money! Yes, you won't be able to spend it all in your lifetime. You can count the money while lying in bed."
"Sorry, Mr. Howard, to be honest, I'm not short of money right now."
"Uh, what?" Howard looked at Du Yongxiao for the first time. According to the information he got, Du Yongxiao was just Inspector Hua from Hong Kong who came to the UK to train. Even if he was really rich, he wouldn't have much; plus R&D The funds for the new medicine should be about the same. I only need to spend a huge amount of money to impress him.
"Ten million pounds! How about that?" Howard thought Du Yongxiao was taking a step back and deliberately bargaining.
"No, no, no, Mr. Howard, you still don't understand what I mean. I'm really not short of money. No matter if you offer 10 million pounds, 20 million pounds, or 30 million pounds, I won't sell it! What's more-- In order to make the other party give up, Du Yongxiao thought carefully and said: "Besides, I have reached an agreement with Mr. Rockefeller of the United States. The two parties will cooperate to develop the American market together!"
Howard was stunned: "What, you want to cooperate with the super-rich Americans?"
"Yes! So -" Du Yongxiao shrugged, "I'm not short of money!"
Du Yongxiao didn't tell anyone about his $100 million investment in Chase Bank, otherwise Howard would be shocked.
Even so, Howard was a little stunned.
He knew exactly who Rockefeller was.
The Rockefeller family is definitely among the top ten richest people in the United States.
Not to mention, Howard believed that he could not match Rockefeller in terms of wealth.
Of course, in terms of status and dignity, Rockefeller cannot compare to him, an old British aristocrat.
Taking a deep breath, "I didn't expect you to be so lucky. With the Rockefeller family helping you, it's not easy to open up the American market?"
"Thanks for the compliment."
"However, I still hope you can consider it. Maybe we can also cooperate, for example, in the way you cooperate-" Howard had to lower his requirements and said in a tentative tone.
At first, he wanted to swallow Phoenix Pharmaceuticals.
"Cooperation? Of course!" Du Yongxiao smiled, "The British market is also very important. I originally planned to cooperate with you, but I was afraid that you would not be willing. After all, we are a small company."
As soon as Du Yongxiao said these words, Howard suddenly felt like he was being plotted.
Could it be that Du Yongxiao came here with the idea of cooperating with me from the beginning?
"Since you have already spoken, we will cooperate according to the model I had with Mr. Rockefeller - we Phoenix Pharmaceuticals will take out 20% of the equity. As for you, you need to spend two million pounds to purchase it, and you will be responsible for developing the British market in the future. European countries’ market responsibilities – what do you think?”
"Du, your calculation is so good! Two million pounds is a small thing, I can get it. But you only gave me 20% of the equity, and you want to use our Pandora channel to promote your new drug throughout Europe. In this way, I It would be too much of a disadvantage here!”
"Do you suffer a loss?" Du Yongxiao touched the groove on the edge of the castle, "My mother often said that suffering a loss is a blessing!" After saying that, Du Yongxiao looked at Howard: "If you don't want to suffer a loss, there will be many people lining up behind to take the loss. ! Do you want a bet?”
Looking at Du Yongxiao's bright eyes, Howard felt for the first time that he looked down on Du Yongxiao.
This young man is like a sharp sword, with its sharp edge so sharp that even a tiger like him can't resist it.
But Howard soon smiled contemptuously.
What is his identity?
What is Du Yongxiao's identity?
Being willing to cooperate with him is enough to give him face.
If you accept his harsh conditions again, won't you be laughed at if word spreads about it?
To put it bluntly, although Du Yongxiao was the lifesaver of Howard's daughter Michelle, Howard's aristocratic sense of superiority made him look down on Du Yongxiao.
Just when Howard was about to refuse——
The old butler Witt suddenly walked up to the castle.
Following the old butler was Du Yongxiao's old friend, Sheriff Henry.
Sheriff Henry has now become the "mouthpiece" for Du Yongxiao and Shangfeng. The superiors like to assign him to pass the message to Du Yongxiao on any matter, such as today.
Compared to the past, old Henry's expression today is very serious, without his usual smile.
The old butler Witt maintained the manner of an aristocratic butler and led old Henry to Du Yongxiao and Howard. After explaining the situation, he stood aside, raised his chin slightly, and watched what old Henry had to say to Du Yongxiao.
Howard was also very curious. In his impression, Sheriff Old Henry was a very laid-back man and had never been so serious.
"Du, I came here to inform you of something very important!" Old Heng took off his hat and said to Du Yongxiao: "Tomorrow you will receive the medal at Scotland Yard -"
"Uh, award?"
"Yes!" Old Henry took a deep breath, "You have been canonized as a baron by Her Majesty the Queen!"
boom!
The scene exploded.
The old butler Witt suspected that he had heard wrongly.
The well-informed Mr. Howard also looked stunned.
"So from now on -" Old Henry held his hat between his legs and bowed respectfully to Du Yongxiao, "You are the distinguished Baron!"
