1007 An Upcoming Fierce Battle

Young Master Wan had suffered from this kind of agreement before, but this time Xiao Feng actually offered to sign this agreement with him.

But Mr. Wan was so moved, he patted Xiao Feng's shoulder hard.

"Don't say anything, brother, when do you plan to act, the money I prepared will be on call..."

Xiao Feng can still trust Mr. Wan's character.

15 billion US dollars can be used for you at any time. This is no longer an ordinary trust.

What's more, I only gave him 3% of the shares, and he was willing.

It seems that Mr. Wan is determined to get on his own boat!

It seems that Mr. Wan really has confidence in himself!

Xiao Feng didn't talk nonsense, just smiled, and then patted Mr. Wan on the shoulder.

In fact, 15 billion US dollars, in exchange for 3% of the shares, is already his face for Mr. Wan.

Even if there is no Mr. Wan, he can do it alone.

The acquisition of Voegelin will cost more than 70 billion U.S. dollars, and he can afford it by gritting his teeth.

And Mr. Wan did not guess wrong. After he bought Voegelin, he really did not intend to only become the number one chain pharmacy in the United States.

His real idea is to be the world's number one drugstore chain!

Prior to this, Voegelin had already begun to make arrangements in this regard.

In Canada and Mexico in North America, he has opened more than 500 chain drugstores in these two countries.

There are more than 300 in Canada, and more than 100 in Mexico.

In Australia and New Zealand, he also has a layout.

In these two countries, dozens of stores have also been opened.

Although it has not yet entered in a large scale, it has already begun to lay out.

In the UK, as early as 2015, Voegelin completed the acquisition of United Pharmacy, a British pharmacy chain.

United Bozi has about 370 branches in the UK.

Although the scale is not the largest in the UK, it is also a giant in the market that cannot be underestimated.

In other words, if you win Voegelin, it is actually equivalent to having a pass to the Five Eyes alliance.

At that time, several drugs from the Ninth Laboratory will be able to travel unimpeded in these countries through Voegelin.

And these countries are all developed countries in the world.

In addition, if you have obtained the passport of the Five Eyes Alliance, it will not be too difficult to enter the EU.

And relying on Voegelin's identity in the United States, it will be no problem to march into Japan and the Southern Dynasty.

This is the main reason why Xiao Feng is so determined to win Voegelin.

It's just that his presupposition for this chain drugstore is the world's number one chain drugstore.

In this way, it may not be realistic to want to eat alone.

So this pharmacy, he intends to put it on the market.

And Mr. Wan will become the first minority shareholder of this company, and giving him 3% of the shares is actually quite interesting.

The main reason is that when he first started his business, Mr. Wan was the first noble person to give him a hand.

In the later cooperation, Mr. Wan also helped him a few times.

That's why he agreed to give Mr. Wan 3% of the shares.

If it were someone else, let alone 15 billion, even if it was 25 billion, he would not be able to give 3% of the shares.

Because new drugs developed by cloning experts in the Kalapago Islands have been launched one after another.

If it is placed in Voegelin for exclusive distribution.

The future market value of Vogreen is definitely within reach.

More than Apple, Google, it is a matter of minutes.

So from this point of view, Mr. Wan took 15 billion US dollars in exchange for 3% of his company's shares.

No matter how you look at this deal, it's a bargain.

"Okay, let's talk about Voegelin's situation now?"

"Didn't that Stefano promise to help us deal with the issues of minority shareholders and trade unions?"

"Why has it been so long, hasn't it been done yet?"

Before, Mr. Wan hired a team to contact Voegelin.

But the two sides hadn't met before, and Xiao Feng firmly believed that Mr. Wan's team must have some information that he didn't know.

Sure enough, when he asked such a question, Mr. Wan let out a long sigh.

"The situation doesn't seem very optimistic. According to the information we have received..."

"Stefano encountered a lot of resistance when negotiating with the union."

"The union disagrees with his move to abolish pharmacists and still insists that each pharmacy must have at least three pharmacists."

"What's even more ridiculous is that those bastards want him to raise the salary of the pharmacist!"

After listening to Mr. Wan's words, Xiao Feng felt a little funny.

Running a business in China, the boss is the only one, so it's actually just a decoration.

But in foreign countries, this is different. Their power and energy are not so great.

Especially with the votes in hand.

They have the qualifications to negotiate with the boss, if the boss does not agree with their conditions.

Then they organize strikes and even put pressure on the government.

In order to keep their votes, politicians often come forward to negotiate with companies.

If the boss is disobedient, he will be punished by the government.

It is precisely because of this that Voegelin has fallen into today's situation.

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the *** medical reform to enjoy policy dividends for several years.

After all, their company originated from the place where *** started, saying that it has nothing to do with ***, how can others believe it.

But I never thought that this newcomer overturned the government's medical reform as soon as he came to power.

This time, Voegelin, who made too big a step, was torn apart in one fell swoop.

After all, when they acquired other drugstore chains in order to complete their massive expansion.

Not only sent a lot of money to the original boss, but also made many beautiful promises to appease people's hearts.

For example, there is the rhetoric that they want to have three pharmacists in each pharmacy.

They are currently in more than 7,900 stores across the United States.

There are three pharmacists in each store, and the wages of these people alone cost hundreds of thousands a year.

A store costs hundreds of thousands, how much is 7900 stores?

Moreover, Xiao Feng has seen Voegelin's business model.

In fact, what Voegelin needs more is not a pharmacist, but an ordinary salesperson.

After all, they are already changing their business models and are transitioning to diversification.

The annual salary of an ordinary salesperson is only one-third of that of a pharmacist, or even lower.

So before Wan Gongzi's team was in contact with Stefano.

The conditions were put forward, and the first thing was to guess the pharmacist.

In a store, one pharmacist is enough.

The second is to get rid of the trade union, and the current CEO Stefano, who has long hated these two points, naturally agreed to it.

He had worked so hard before to turn the company into a profit.

But in the end it was all down to these guys.

Now that he is going to sell the company, he naturally doesn't mind coming forward to be a villain.

But I didn't expect that the trade union was quite strong.

Not only did he not agree to his request for layoffs, but asked him to raise his salary.

"According to Stefano's feedback, there should be agitation from competitors behind this."

Young Master Wan talked to Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng nodded and asked.

"a?"

Master Wan laughed.

"Who else but CVS has come love?"

Xiao Feng listened and nodded.

These three happened to be the three largest chain drugstores in the United States at present.

Among them, Voegelin was the leader in the industry in the past two years, followed by CVS, and Laidai always ranked third.

However, in the past two years, Voegelin has suffered losses for three consecutive years because of its huge debts.

Many stores have also been closed, and CVS has already caught up with the support of the insurance group behind it.

In a few years, it has become the number one chain pharmacy in the United States.

They currently have 9,400 stores across the United States.

The performance is also very healthy, but they still regard Voegelin as a thorn in their side.

Why?

Because for CVS, Lai Ai, the third largest company in the United States, has only more than 3,400 stores in the United States.

And most of them are opened in poor areas, with limited profitability, and there is no way to compete with them.

But Voegelin is different.

Voegelin was one step ahead of CVS when it came to national expansion.

Therefore, Vogreen's branches are almost all opened in the most prosperous and best locations in major cities in the United States.

So don't look at the fact that CVS has surpassed Voegelin in terms of the number of stores.

But when it comes to the quality of the store, they really can't compare to Voegelin.

Because Vogreen's branches are almost all opened in the rich and middle-class neighborhoods of major cities across the United States.

Almost all the good locations were taken by them, and CVS, as a latecomer, suffered a big loss in this respect.

Although they have many stores, but in terms of annual turnover, they are not much higher than Voegelin.

There are nearly 2,000 more stores than others, but the net profit is similar to others.

What do you think of the managers of CVS?

It is not a day or two since Voegelin's major shareholders want to transfer Voegelin's hands.

CVS naturally knows, and they certainly don't want someone to take over the store.

They can't wait for Voegelin to be taken over by no one, and finally the debt crisis breaks out and collapses.

Although doing so is somewhat detrimental to others, it is indeed in their best interest.

"Then CVS must not only want Voegelin to get rid of it?"

Xiao Feng asked with a smile.

"Ha, there are always wolf ambitions. The news I got is that they are currently in contact with several consortiums."

"I plan to get financing from other companies, and then when Voegelin can't hold on, I will swallow Voegelin in one gulp."

"After all, the prescription drug rights in Voegelin's hands, as well as those stores in good locations, are what they have always coveted."

Xiao Feng listened and nodded.

"Who are the consortiums they contacted, have you found out?"

"Well, there are several financial institutions in the United States, and one financial institution on Hong Kong Island."

"It is said that these people are very enthusiastic and willing to finance them."

As Mr. Wan spoke, his expression became more and more serious.

"It seems that there is a fierce battle waiting for me ahead!"

Xiao Feng said with a sigh.

Voegelin was originally the leader of the industry, but since Stefano planned to quit.

The former wolf king in this industry is already a piece of fat in the eyes of others.
