Chapter 396 Real Compensation


Chapter 396 Real Compensation

I have to say.

Although foreign companies make many small moves, they are still very efficient in terms of efficiency.

It took less than half a minute for the announcement to go out.

Several companies have had some of their employee photos removed from the stock market and official website bulletin boards, and replaced them with a new batch of replacements.

Corinna Asensio,

Jessica Hurley,

Adams Boronnat,

Isko Edu.

These industry elites who are well-known in the field of disinfection have all been kicked out by their respective companies.

Less than half an hour passed.

A foreign media took the lead in posting a photo on social media:

The background of the photo is Advion's corporate headquarters on the West Coast. Whether it is the luxurious revolving door or the handsome concierge at the front desk, every detail tells the public that this is a top-notch giant enterprise.

In stark contrast to this scene.

It was a woman holding a cardboard box, with messy hair, a gloomy face, and cursing who walked out of the door.

This person is undoubtedly Corinna Asensio.

The beautiful woman who used to be glamorous at meetings is now as desolate as a promiscuous woman who was kicked out of a rental house.

Also predictable.

Due to this stain, no matter how capable Corinna Asensio is, no company will dare to take over in the short term.

Of course.

Maybe in a year or two, some companies will quietly extend an olive branch.

But don't forget.

One or two years are enough for Huadun Biotech to grow into a behemoth in the field of disinfection.

If 'One Mantis' forms a monopoly in the field, how much room for development will be left for Corinna Asensio?

And just as Corinna and others left the company in disgrace.

China native.

On the campus of the University of Science and Technology of China.

Xu Yun also came to Tian Liangwei's office carrying a small box of cantaloupe slices and knocked on the door respectfully:

"Teacher, Lao Qiu said you were looking for me?"

Tian Liangwei nodded towards him and motioned for him to sit down wherever he wanted:

"Well, I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun quickly placed the fruit slices on Tian Liangwei's table, found a seat and sat down.

Keep your legs together and place your heads on your knees.

Well behaved, JPG.

Tian Liangwei opened the box where the fruit was cut, poked a piece of fruit pulp with a toothpick and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it, he said:

"Xiao Xu, have you seen the announcements from several foreign companies?"

Xu Yun is still well-behaved.JPG hummed:

"Well, I saw it all. Aaron also sent the screenshot to the company's internal group, and everyone was very happy."

Tian Liangwei picked up a piece of fruit pulp again and agreed:

"This is a good thing. People in the company still need to be reassured."

"With this experience, the company's cohesion will definitely be improved. To put it more mysteriously, this is a disaster, but it is also an opportunity."

Then, without waiting for Xu Yun to reply, Tian Liangwei straightened his face, put down his toothpick and said:

"Okay, Xiao Xu, it's time for us to talk about today's business - that is, the issue of compensation."

"Compensation?"

Xu Yun was stunned for a moment and muttered the word secretly twice, then realized something:

"You mean the compensation from several foreign companies?"

Xu Yun's somewhat surprised expression made Tian Liangwei feel good, and he cast a very subtle look at Xu Yun:

"Look at how fresh your question is. Those companies have poured so much black water, and the University of Science and Technology and the Academy of Sciences have invested a lot of manpower and material resources. How can it be fooled by just an apology announcement and the dismissal of a few people? Think Taozi Where to eat?”

"This is 2022, not 1922. Do you really think nothing will happen if you are caught stealing something?"

Hearing this, Xu Yun opened his mouth subconsciously, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end he didn't speak.

Actually.

Before arriving at Tian Liangwei's office, he was still somewhat slanderous in his heart:

Although the press conference held by the University of Science and Technology was quite successful, it not only cleared the stains on Xu Yun's body, but also removed many nails in public opinion.

However, the above-mentioned effects can only be regarded as the "internal" category, and the "external" - that is, the seven foreign companies did not pay a particularly serious price.

After facing the enemy's apology, the Academy of Sciences seemed to be a little too generous.

True.

Seven foreign companies lost hundreds of millions in market value on the stock market because of this incident, and Corinna and others involved in the incident were also kicked out.

But for these foreign companies, the above costs are far from being traumatic.

If the stock market falls, you can use commercial methods to pull it back up. Anyway, the stock market loses money, and the top management wants to cash out more.

There are fewer R&D leaders, and they can be recruited again. For a company of Bayer's size, R&D talents are almost the same as the girls in the club, and they can be chosen at will.

So the whole process is described with a Chinese idiom, which is a bit.

It's anticlimactic.

The result was unexpected.

What Xu Yun had seen before was just a small piece of ice floating on the surface. The real big guy was waiting for him in Tian Liangwei's office.

Then Xu Yun thought for a moment, raised his head and looked at Tian Liangwei, and asked tentatively:

"Teacher, can I ask what compensation the academy wants?"

Tian Liangwei had received some instructions before today, and some information could be disclosed to Xu Yun, so he said:

"There are quite a lot of things. Bayer compensated for the technical formulas of progesterone receptor modulators and third-generation multikinase inhibitors, and Advion also compensated for some monopoly-level generic technologies."

"As for Nutrien, of course there are a lot of banned equipment"

Tian Liangwei picked up some key information and briefly introduced it. The more Xu Yun listened, the brighter his eyes became.

Good guy.

These are all big treasures.

Bayer's multi-kinase inhibitor is actually sorafenib tosylate tablets, also known as Nexavar.

This thing can inhibit the proliferation and blood vessel formation of tumor cells from multiple targets, with annual sales of 712 million euros.

Although its compound patent CN00802685.8 has expired in January 2020 in China, there are currently many imitation manufacturers.

However, its crystal form patent CN200580040775.0 will not expire until September 2025, and its preparation patent CN200680007187.1 will not expire until February 2026.

At the same time, these expired multikinase inhibitors are only first-generation formulas, and the third-generation people don’t even release a single English word

The same goes for Advion.

Although it is a disinfection company, its actual business scope includes mass spectrometers and other medical fields.

For the price paid by Bayer, Advion will inevitably suffer more bleeding - because Corinna is Advion's person.

In the entire meeting video, Corinna is the proposer of the plan, so she naturally bears more blame.

As for Nutrien

Although Tian Liangwei still did not give a specific name for the compensation, the three words "embargoed level" are enough to explain everything.

Nutrien currently has dozens of devices or technologies on the embargoed list. Even if you draw lots blindfolded, it will be a huge profit for the country.

Think of this.

Xu Yun's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Although the main force behind the comeback in this incident was the Academy of Sciences and even higher-ups.

But as individuals and small groups, Xu Yun and Huadun Biotech have made some contributions.

From the perspective of final results.

To exaggerate, Xu Yun can be regarded as dying for the country

Therefore, Xu Yun doesn't expect to get any embargo-level compensation, but it's okay to drink some broth from other corners of the world, right?

Then he swallowed hard and looked at Tian Liangwei expectantly:

"General. Ahem, teacher, I have shed blood for the Academy of Science and Technology and made contributions to the University of Science and Technology."

Tian Liangwei gave him a meaningful look and didn't give in:

"Xiao Xu, don't worry, I won't forget you."

"This time, Dean Hou personally came forward and asked for three compensations for you. The first one is a favorable policy - Bayer will help 'One Mantis Kill' obtain the qualification to export to the EU."
< br>

"Eligibility to export to the EU?"

Xu Yun was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and then his pupils suddenly shrank!

As the current chairman and founder of Huadun Biotech, with the improvement of product research and development, it is naturally impossible for Xu Yun or the company's senior management to ignore the possibility of going abroad.

But after some understanding, everyone discovered a problem.

That is, it is too difficult to export to the EU.

It's so difficult that even if HKUST comes forward, there is no chance of getting a ticket.

Until 2022.

Although China has become the world's largest pesticide producer, its external exports account for more than 70%.

But the pesticide here mainly refers to glyphosate, which is a non-selective herbicide, which accounts for as much as 54%.

The proportion of pesticides in total exports is about 25%, and it still has nothing to do with imidacloprid - the pesticides here mainly refer to organochlorines, organophosphorus and carbamates, targeting beetles, flies, grubs, noses, etc. Insects, springtails, etc.

Currently, there are only one household pesticide brand that can be exported from China.

25 homes.

At the same time, among these 25, 20 are exporting to Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Although Southeast Asia seems to be full of bugs, in fact, Thailand's disinfection industry is also very developed.

For example, there are many cockroach disinfecting advertisements from Thailand or Vietnam on site b, which are very personalized.

all in all.

Currently, there are only five domestic brands that can actually enter the European and American markets.

The main targets of these five domestic brands are mosquitoes and flies. The number of cockroach-killing products can be expressed by a place name

The land of abundance.

Because the requirements for cockroach pesticides in Europe and the United States are really too high.

The threshold for insect zappers and insecticides is called CE certification, which is actually very easy to pass.

As long as the product does not endanger the safety of humans and animals, it will be fine.

The national standard in this regard is GB4706.76, and the international standard is IEC60335-2-59.

If we really want to compare, domestic requirements are a bit higher.

But just like if you pass the first line, it doesn't mean you can enter Qingbei. If you cross the CE certification threshold, there is still an EU market entry standard to meet.

The market entry standards require an assessment of inactive substance components. If the target is not in the exemption list, the EU's chemical registration assessment authorization and registration under the EUREACH regulations need to be carried out.

Other than that.

The European Chemicals Agency also requires suppliers of active substances to be included in the list of qualified suppliers, that is, the corresponding disinfectant products of Article 95 before they can be put on the EU market.

The entire process involves a large number of opaque links, and to put it bluntly, it is heavily political.

So in recent years, some Chinese brands have come up with a solution:

By acquiring some companies in Kenya, it entered the exemption list and landed in Europe.

Although this method is barely feasible, when the brand awareness is not high, sales will naturally be unsatisfactory.

The result was unexpected.

This time the Academy of Sciences actually wants to compensate like this?

That’s Europe

Although the origin of the German cockroach is Africa, it is not difficult to tell from its name where it became famous.

As of 2021, the European cockroach pesticide market is as high as 1.43 billion euros! (Statistics from GlobalInfoResearch)

Not to mention the huge exchange rate difference between the euro and the Chinese currency, which far exceeds the tariff premium.

Looking at Xu Yun who was almost crying, Tian Liangwei's expression was also a little emotional:

"Xiao Xu, your company has really made a lot of money this time. If it weren't for some other reasons, Bayer would never let go."

"After all, to a certain extent, this is inviting the wolf into the house."

Xu Yun blinked and said in surprise:

"Other reasons?"

Tian Liangwei nodded slightly and briefly mentioned two keywords:

"Gas and Muddy Water Capital."

Xu Yun hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Muddy Waters Capital, the full name is MuddyWatersCapital.

It is not difficult to tell from the transliteration that this is a well-known short-selling institution.

However, unlike Citron Capital, which was mentioned in the previous meeting of seven foreign companies, Muddy Waters Capital is very hostile to China Stock.

This company has shorted more than a dozen Chinese concept stocks. The famous Luckin Coffee financial report fraud incident was exposed by Muddy Waters Capital.

Due to some well-known reasons, this institution is currently frantically engaging in offensive and defensive efforts with German capital.

Muddy Waters Capital now holds more than 230 million euros in Bayer shares, and Bayer is the leader of the entire German chemical industry complex.

If the smear incident is used as an opportunity for short selling, there is even a risk of causing the entire Frankfurt Index to collapse.

This situation is not conjecture, but there is precedent to follow.

The scandal of Allianz Insurance once caused the Frankfurt Index to fluctuate, and in the end, Melvin Capital and Glaucus sniped the market of 8 billion euros.

Nowadays, the factor of natural gas is disturbing the entire European stock market. Once a collapse occurs, it is not a situation where US$8 billion can be stopped.

under this pressure.

Bayer can only cut through the mess quickly and endure the pain to cut its losses.

Compared with the heavy losses caused by short selling, Bayer’s market share of household cockroach pesticides in Europe is not particularly high.

It's relatively acceptable.

Of course.

There are some deeper reasons, which Tian Liangwei did not mention to Xu Yun in detail.

For example, Muddy Waters Capital is hostile to Chinese concept stocks, and the Academy of Sciences or higher-ups are not willing to see this institution profit from this.

Then Xu Yun paused, looked at Tian Liangwei again, and said:

"Teacher, when will this ticket be sent to our company?"

Tian Liangwei glanced at him and made a calm gesture:

"It will take a month or two at the earliest. After all, the process is relatively complicated. However, if a large company like Bayer has already negotiated, it will not break the contract or delay the time."

Xu Yun nodded.

He had gone through a lot of processes some time ago, and one or two months was relatively fast.

Then he paused and continued to ask:

"Teacher, besides the admission ticket, what are the other two compensations?" Argentina actually lost, outrageous
