Ganica did not expect to use a contract of intent to determine the genus of PCR technology, but the official seal stamped by Zhang Hongjun is still somewhat useful, he took this contract, and then contacted the Chinese side, and the embassy and other departments were more active, at least on the surface, this is a contract endorsed by their colleagues.

After the news of this contract broke, Ganica's competitors also became depressed, in this year of biotechnology explosion, good technology seems to be everywhere, it is difficult to say the true value of a technology, most companies will avoid falling into vicious competition.

Of course, this is also the reason why there are fewer investment companies in biotechnology, and if you wait another two or three years, once Wall Street, which sees the prospect of profitability, intervenes, the fight will become fierce.

As a result, Ganica showed great confidence. $550,000 is not a small amount, and it is not possible to use it for mergers and acquisitions, but it is still a lot to buy a technology alone.

It's not the year 2000 of a bubble, and there are countless people waving checks and giving any company with the word "net" a tenfold and hundredfold premium.

It's 1984, and biotech companies are just emerging, and the Reagan administration's policies have just freed a bunch of biologists from universities, and before that, there weren't many private biotech companies in the world.

The $550,000 that Ganica took out came from venture capital firms that controlled Ganica, and his competitors were pretty much the same, and overall it was still a cash-starved market.

If they want to become a big biotechnology company, the reason why those ambitious professors leave the comfortable and warm prestigious universities is not to merge other people's companies and buy other people's technologies, they want their own experiments, a more free scientific research environment, and sell themselves at a good price by the way.

In an age where the average biotech company lives is less than 36 months, there is no company that is not short of money.

Ganica is confident that with this contract, there are very few companies that still have the courage to compete for PCR technology, and even if they do, he can handle it calmly.

This calmness came to an abrupt end until a phone call arrived.

"Is that confirmed?" Ganica's magnetic voice turned hoarse.

"Confirmed. "The voice on the phone was heavy.

With even more force, Ganica hung up the phone, nodded to the waiter at the bar, and returned to her seat with extremely heavy steps.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Hongjun, who was sitting opposite Ganika, was eating steak, his mouth was full of oil, and he looked at Ganica with a solemn expression inexplicably.

He was invited today to explain the inter-departmental relations in China, and Ganica also hired a manager of a public relations agency and a lawyer for his own company.

Ganica smiled reluctantly, looked at Zhang Hongjun, and said, "The company received a lawyer's letter. ”

"What?"

Ganica didn't answer, and continued: "There is a Hong Kong company called Sinovel that declares that they have all the rights to the PCR technology and informs us that the contract of intent we have signed with you is not valid, do you know about this?"

Zhang Hongjun was stunned for a moment, pretending to be stupid and said: "The intentional contract we signed is not valid in itself, I told you in advance." ”

Where could Ganica be fooled by him like this, and said in a deep voice: "Now it's not a question of the intentional contract itself, it's a question of whether you have PCR technology." ”

"Of course I don't have the PCR skills anymore. Zhang Hongjun didn't know how to answer, stalling for time, thinking nervously.

Ganica's lawyer realized the seriousness of the problem and asked Ganica in a low voice, "This Hong Kong-based Sinovel company is not under the jurisdiction of the Chinese government?"

"Purely private company, the same nature as ours. Ganika replied that she knew, her eyes still staring at Zhang Hongjun.

The lawyer asked calmly: "You said that they sent a lawyer's letter, was it a lawyer's letter from a lawyer in Hong Kong, or a lawyer from the United States?"

Ganica thought for a moment and said, "Benjamin Brown Maazel Law Firm, are you familiar with it?"

The lawyer smiled wryly: "Familiar, it is the largest patent firm in Boston, with branches in New York and Los Angeles. The three named partners, Benjamin, Brown and Maazel, are all very good...... Well, they're all white. ”

Boston is probably the whitest city in the United States, and there are many old white men companies that are easy to criticize. The so-called old white men, that is, older white men, usually represent deep-rooted, conservative and powerful, and such law firms are often favored by wealthy minorities, at least in the 80s, because minorities need old white men to speak for themselves.

As soon as Ganica listened to her lawyer's explanation, she knew how difficult it was. He owns a high-tech company, not a traditional industry, which means that his own social connections are not stable.

Ganica looked at Zhang Hongjun again and said, "You tell me the truth, whether the Chinese government has the ownership of the PCR. ”

"Yang Rui is Chinese, his school is Chinese, how can the Chinese government not have ownership." Zhang Hongjun could only continue to pretend to be stupid.

Ganika contemplated, "In other words, you don't know?"

"You forced me to sign, I told you everything, I'll ask again, people haven't replied to me yet, besides, haven't you given the money yet?" Zhang Hongjun desperately shirked his responsibility.

This played a role, and Ganica turned to the lawyer and said, "I'm going to ask you to find out about the situation, they seem to have applied for a patent." ”

"I'm going to talk to them. The lawyer wiped his mouth with a napkin, got up and went out.

Zhang Hongjun looked at Ganica with some concern and asked, "What now?"

"If it's sure that the other party is bluffing, then it's business as usual. ”

Zhang Hongjun asked in a low voice, "What if not?"

Ganica glared at Zhang Hongjun and said, "Don't you think so?"

"No, no, no, I mean just in case, no...... Actually, I don't know, you're in too much of a hurry. Zhang Hongjun accepted Ganika's money, and now he is also very weak-hearted.

Ganica also regretted a little, he thought about how to deal with the Chinese government, and he was very confident, but he never thought that the technology of PCR was in the hands of a private company.

"If the Hong Kong Sinovel company is not bluffing, then it can only be talked to Sinovel Company. Ganica sighed, and was in no mood to talk about Zhang Hongjun.

The PR manager, who was sitting on the other side, had another question and whispered, "Is the press conference going to be suspended?"

"How do you explain it?"

p> "Let's just say that we suspended the press conference for reasons such as technical secrecy?"

"Wait a minute, and if the news is confirmed, do as you say. After speaking, Ganica wiped her hands and said, "Let's leave when you're done." ”

The public relations manager stood up and left, and Zhang Hongjun looked down at the New Yorker who still had half a piece left on the plate, and hated that he hadn't eaten fast enough.

In the afternoon, the lawyer confirmed the patent of Sinovel to Ganica.

Ganica had no choice but to inform the media that the press conference was suspended, and then hid in her office alone and went into a rage.

Zhang Hongjun had nowhere to go, so he sat at the door like a needle cushion.

Ganika's secretary smiled freely and said, "It's okay, just let him vent." ”

Five minutes later, it was quiet.

The secretary lightly pushed open the door, swept a pile of garbage out, and motioned to Zhang Hongjun, "You can go in." ”

"What am I going in there for?" Zhang Hongjun was stupid.

"Mr. Ganika wants to see you. ”

"What's the use of seeing me. Zhang Hongjun muttered through the door.

"Close the door. Ganica stood in the center of the room, her desk swept away.

Zhang Hongjun obediently closed the door.

"Did you bring any money?" asked Ganica in the second sentence.

Zhang Hongjun was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You want me to seal it, I have it, what?

"Your stamps are useless. ”

"It's useless to tell you in the first place!"

"If you don't give the money back, you can't do without the United States. Ganica glanced at Zhang Hongjun and said, "If I complain to you for asking for bribes, what will happen to you?"

Zhang Hongjun was at a loss.

He really couldn't afford the $10,000 he could get.

"Before leaving, give me back the money, otherwise, you don't want to leave. Ganica waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Hongjun to leave.

Zhang Hongjun thought about it and said helplessly: "I know, I'll bring the money tomorrow, but I've already spent a few hundred dollars." ”

Ganica waved her hand and wanted to say something, but the phone rang again.

"What's the matter?" Garnika picked up the phone, her tone a little more normal.

"Hong Kong Sinovel is going to hold a press conference and is informing the media that they seem to have got the contract. On the phone, the lawyer's voice was very urgent, and he added: "Benjamin is here." ”

"What contract?" asked Ganika.

"The agreement you signed with the Chinese, they seem to have gotten a copy. The lawyer breathed a sigh of relief and added, "Benjamin won't run empty, he must have a certain chance of winning." ”

Ganica turned around and asked Zhang Hongjun sharply, "Where did you put the contract, our intentional contract?

"How could you bring it on your body, such a thick contract. ”

"Where did you put it?"

"In the safe of the hotel, there is a password ......," Zhang Hongjun said, and his voice became quieter: "I share a room with the driver, and he also has the password for the safe." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Hongjun became nervous, he didn't hear the voice on the phone, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"You're finished. Ganica glared at Zhang Hongjun fiercely.

The intentional contract signed by the two can always be explained by words such as mistakes for Ganika, but Zhang Hongjun's official seal cannot be explained.

Zhang Hongjun somewhat understood the situation, his face turned pale, and he turned around to open the door.

The door opens automatically.

The female secretary stepped on high heels and entered the room, and said in a low voice: "Ganica, the directors are here." ”

"What?"

"A few directors seem to have received the news......" Before the female secretary finished speaking, she saw five elderly Caucasian men walking side by side in the corridor.

Ganica's face didn't look good.

His Ganica Biotech Ltd. received a large capital injection, which allowed him to make acquisitions and improvements in biotechnology. At the same time, he also lost absolute control of the company.

And now the five old white men who have come over are the shareholders of Ganica Biological Co., Ltd.

"I got a phone call. The old white man who walked into Ganica's office only glanced at Zhang Hongjun, then looked directly at Ganica, and repeated: "I received a phone call, Benjamin from Benjamin Brown Maazel Law Firm, he asked my company, my Ganica Biotechnology Co., Ltd., to compensate and apologize, do you know about this?"
