Chapter 50 (1/2)
Although Silicon Valley is the representative of innovative technology, there are also many venture capital companies established here!
On a financial street in San Jose, Silicon Valley, prestige capital was quietly established. Originally, Henry was going to name it Williams venture capital company, but the name was too long and took up too many words, so it was called prestige capital company.
It is true that a person is his name, so Henry also hopes that the name of prestige capital can be as powerful as its name!!!
The company just finished decoration, Henry came to see the effect, although the company has already been established, but from the official opening to wait for some time! Now the company is still an empty shelf, no staff!
Henry walked around the company a few times and was about to close the door when two people came.
Both of them are middle-aged men in suits, one is tall and full of scum. The other is of medium build with glasses.
”What can I do for you?” Asked Henry.
”Is this also a VC company?” Asked the tall middle-aged man.
Henry nodded. ”Yes, yes, it's a new venture capital company.”
”New?” They looked at each other with a look of disappointment.
They are the founders of Amgen biopharmaceutical company. Dr. Rothman wears glasses, and Tony Lambert is his partner. From its establishment in 1980 to June 1989, Anjin company finally developed its first product ”recombinant human erythropoietin” (EPO) after nine years! The EPO has been approved by FDA and can be used to treat anemia caused by chronic renal failure and anemia caused by HIV infection. However, the fate of EPO is bumpy and the promotion is not good. Amgen company is unable to continue. At this time, Johnson & Johnson group wants to buy out all the overseas sales of EPO with 19 million yuan! Amgen biopharmaceutical company of course does not work, so looking for investment everywhere!
However, the hope is really slim!
Nine years of sharpening, sharpening, finally sharpening the product, but still can't make money, which investor dare to invest in it?!!
Dr. Rothman and Tony Lambert ran into walls and ashes. In their despair, they want to agree to the requirements of Johnson & Johnson Group, but they come across a venture capital company, thinking that they have to try anyway, even if they will be rejected in the end!
So, there is this meeting!
However, as soon as they heard that the venture capital company had just been established, they were disheartened. No new venture capital company dares to take such a big risk to invest in amjin biopharmaceutical company! However, Rosman and Lambert don't know that this meeting will change their lives and the future of Amgen biopharmaceutical Co!!!
In a previous life, Amgen biopharmaceutical company was robbed by Johnson & Johnson Group, resulting in most of the company's early profits were loaded into the pocket of Johnson & Johnson group. But even so, Amgen biopharmaceutical company is still developing into one of the top biopharmaceutical companies in the world, leading in the fields of human genome, cancer, neuroscience and small molecule chemistry, with a market value of more than 100 billion!
Maybe we can work out a genetic evolution medicine!
Henry asked about their identity. When he heard their reply, Henry was shocked even though his face was silent!
”Is your company going to raise money?” Henry asked, pretending to be calm.
”Yes They nodded.
Henry asked them to come in and sit down. He said with a smile, ”it seems that we have a good chance! You are the first customer to visit, so anyway, our prestige capital has to invest in your company more or less! ”
Rosman and Lambert looked at each other and were surprised.
Henry poured them water and asked, ”come on, how much are you going to charge?”
Two people suddenly silent down, in the heart is thinking, in the end how much is appropriate. If you want more, others won't give it. Less is a drop in the bucket for the company. They have been hit so much recently that no venture capital company is willing to invest in them. But now I have it, but I'm afraid that I will talk too much and scare others away!!
After half a ring, Roseman said tentatively, ”ten million?”
At that moment, as soon as the words were over, Henry leaned forward in vain. Seeing this, Roseman suddenly became nervous and shook his head and said: ”eight million is OK!”
”Yes, yes, it's OK to invest eight million in us!” Lambert said hastily.
Henry was speechless at that time. The reason why I leaned forward was that you really wanted too little... How can I get more shares with so little investment?!! Well, I just leaned forward to see what scared you
”Well, I'll invest $100 million in your company and take an 80% stake.” Henry said, pretending to be a local tyrant.
”No, no, we don't have to invest so much!” Two people feel like taking a roller coaster, once on, the gap is too big, it makes them surprise! However, they also understand that the company has great development potential and is definitely not willing to sell too many shares.
”In that case...” Henry thought about it, then asked, ”have you ever been a VC?”
