Chapter 76 Acquisition
More than five percent needs to be reported, so Link made the acquisition on the same day and took full control of the Osborne Group.
Of course, he will not hold these shares in his own hands, but will bring in some beneficial collaborators, such as Stark Industries.
He hasn't discussed this matter yet, but he thinks it won't be a big problem, but it can't be done now, because various drugs still need to undergo biological and human experiments. This needs to be reported to the drug control agency, and then a license can be obtained before they can be sold.
Jessica, as the person in charge of the foundation, held a press conference.
This kind of press conference has been held several times, so Jessica is not nervous, and she is now considered a celebrity in the United States. As a woman, she controls a charitable foundation with tens of billions of assets.
Ten percent of Stark Industries shares alone are worth more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. The new energy project has not yet been fully implemented, and it is waiting for the Stark Building to be renovated.
In addition, three more buildings are included in the plan, and Stark Industries' stock price will inevitably soar again.
Then there is the 8% stake in United Construction, which is also worth billions of dollars. The foundation also has a large amount of funds. This aspect has not been announced, but this acquisition can also bring out some strength.
"Ms. Jones, what is the purpose of this acquisition by the foundation?" a reporter asked.
"The foundation has always been committed to legal aid charity, and now we will get involved in medical charity." Jessica said: "Osborne Group has developed in biology and medical care. Although it is encountering difficulties now, its heritage remains. ”
"Moreover, our foundation has been well prepared and has developed more than a dozen specific drugs."
"Although it has not been reported yet, we will conduct biological testing and clinical human testing through the Osborne Group's channels."
"Osborne Group has sufficient capabilities in these aspects and can complete the collection of data as soon as possible. Once approved, it will all be put on the market."
Another reporter asked: "Excuse me, are you confident in solving the internal problems of the Osborne Group?"
"Of course, Mr. Lin, as the owner of a charitable foundation, has been investing a lot of money, and the research and development of drugs has already started." Jessica said: "We will not acquire shares of Osborne Group without sufficient certainty. "
"After the foundation takes over, it will increase its charitable investment, especially in the medical field."
Someone immediately asked: "Excuse me, is this acquisition planned?"
"Mr. Lin is good at investing. He made the decision to acquire shares of Stark Industries before and now Osborne Group." Jessica explained: "His vision has always been precise and in line with the development of the foundation. "
“When we first started to provide legal assistance, we acquired like-minded law firms.”
"Subsequent investments were made in the United Construction Company that developed West Midtown, which are in line with Mr. Lin's investment and philanthropic philosophy."
"It's the same now. With sufficient funds, Mr. Lin has invested in drug research and development."
"..."
The press conference went very smoothly, because Link and Jessica were lovers, there was no gossip about either party, and they did not appear in the camera much.
They seem a bit mysterious, and everyone is curious about this mysterious billionaire.
Some subsequent questions about her private life were ignored. Jessica finally announced that Norman Osborne would continue to serve as the CEO of the group, and Link would become the chairman.
The matter has come to an end for the time being. Osborne's stock price has only increased slightly today. It has not risen, but it will no longer continue to fall. At this time, Norman Osborne and Link were still acquiring some scattered shares. The two of them were preparing to fully acquire all the shares, and of course they would not delist.
The shares on the market had already been purchased by them, and Link then took Jessica to the Osborne Group.
There were only two people on the board, Link and Osborne. Link was sitting in the main seat, and he kicked his feet and the chair spun around.
"It's a very interesting position, but I don't like it. Norman~ I'll leave the group to you." Link looked at the other person and said.
"Of course, I will be responsible for managing it, then..." Norman Osborne didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious.
Link opened the briefcase he brought, took out an envelope, handed it directly to the other party, and then took out everything in the briefcase.
"These are information on specific drugs. You can just ask people to conduct biological experiments, then report them to the regulatory committee, and finally conduct human experiments." Link said: "I believe you know this process."
"And as each of the specific drugs passes testing and is launched, the stock price will surely rise as the news is released."
"At the same time, get rid of other departments and only keep the pharmaceutical-related ones. When the stock price rises, I will talk to Stark Industries."
Norman Osborne said: "So, what about the flying skateboard and combat equipment we developed?"
"..." Link touched his chin, this seemed to suit him very well!
"Keep it and prepare another test site. When the time comes, I will do the test myself."
"Uh~" Norman Osborne was stunned and asked, "Is this appropriate?"
"My title is the God of Death." Link smiled, "This thing may be suitable for my suit and flying tool, so I want to try it myself."
"Of course, the suit may not be suitable, but this can be modified in the future. The focus is on the flying skateboard. If it can be replaced with Tony's energy, it will be awesome."
Norman Osborn's eyes lit up, but then he understood that this energy Link could be obtained personally and used on his own flying skateboard, but it would not be sold to the Osborne Group as a commodity.
"Okay, I will arrange it as soon as possible. If you need to change it, you can put it forward and I will have someone responsible for modifying it for you." Norman Osborne didn't care about this.
Link said: "Don't promote these things for the time being, they won't be sold."
"Wait and see if Stark Industries' weapons division, especially the talent, can be acquired."
"Okay, now you have the final say." Norman Osborne nodded.
"No, it's you who have the final say. When we leave, I'll leave this place to you. Give yourself a day off first and get your disease cured. Your condition should start to get worse." After Link finished speaking, he said with a Jessica is gone.
Norman Osborne excitedly opened the seal, looked at the injection inside, and sealed it again.
He took the information and handed it over to the person in charge of the medical department. At the same time, he raised the level of security so that nothing like Richard Parker could happen again.
