The new week is September 4, 2000.

Attend a meeting in the morning.

Completed the first full board meeting of the new Pfizer company, which merged with Warner Lambert and reorganized management.

The merger and acquisition case between Pfizer and Warner Lambert in North America began last year. It was announced on December 20 the previous year that the total market value of the two companies' mergers and acquisitions reached US$262.5 billion. However, after several months of review by Washington and complex reorganizations in various aspects, it was not until recently that all mergers and acquisitions were completely completed and reopened last week. As of the close of last Friday, the market value was fixed at US$310.3 billion.

Another super giant of $300 billion.

Therefore, other pharmaceutical giants such as Johnson & Johnson in North America and Merck in Germany have far left behind, becoming the world's largest pharmaceutical giant.

The reason why the brand-new Pfizer, after the merger, has a market value of more than US$300 billion is closely related to the strong dominance of the Westeros system over this merger and acquisition, so that the newly listed Pfizer has been regarded as another Westeros concept stock by the capital market.

In fact, the same is true.

After the completion of the new Pfizer merger, the Westeros system has three major platforms, including Westeros, Apollo Management and Black Rock Asset Management, with a total shareholding ratio of up to 19.3%. At the public level, all three have become major shareholders with a shareholding ratio of more than 5%, and occupies the top three. Among them, Westeros ranked first with a shareholding ratio of 8.7%.

For a corporate giant with a long history and has long become a Volkswagen holding company, controlling nearly 20% of the company's shares is basically equivalent to owning the company.

Therefore, after the reorganization, the Pfizer board of directors has 11 people. The Westeros system has won 6 seats without any hesitation this time, more than half. Even Pfizer's new CEO, Henry McCinnell, was able to take office after Simon's approval.

Not only that, the remaining five places on the board of directors were also confirmed by several other capital shareholders who had a good relationship with the Westeros system and decided after discussing with them. Under normal circumstances, they would not play against Simon. To this extent, if Pfizer already has the surname "Westeros", there will basically be no objection to it.

Of course, keeping a low profile, even for the well-known fact, the Westeros system will definitely not be so publicized.

On the other hand, although he has become the master, Simon only listened to this important board meeting today and did not express much opinion.

A layman does not guide an insider.

Although Simon does not agree with some of Pfizer's R&D strategies, such as the industry scandal that later exposed a hateful intentional development of chronic drugs rather than curing them in one go. Even with Simon's current power and status, these methods cannot have any impact on him and even the rest of the Westeros family, but they still feel that it is too unstable.

Our journey should be the sea of ​​stars.

Similarly, in Simon's view, human pursuit of health should be two words, eternal.

However, since it is the rule that has been defaulted to last for many years in the industry, he did not interfere for a while.

Since Simon's strategy is a profitable company, it is better to make money with peace of mind. Money is actually resources. With enough resources, Simon can invest in forming other companies or teams to achieve his goals.

On the other hand, although there is no point in pointing things, the reason for showing up is also very simple, declaring sovereignty.

This company, yes, is named 'Westero'!

This is also Simon's consistent attitude towards the huge Westeros system. I can give you power, but you must have a clear idea of ​​who this company belongs to. Otherwise, no matter how strong the ability is, you will get out.

The meeting lasted for one morning.

At noon, while a social reception was arranged at a hotel nearby, Pfizer also released a market bulletin based on the success of this board meeting, which is basically the new Pfizer future development strategy.

Of course, the dark side will never be mentioned.

The highlight of this communiqué is roughly the one that Pfizer plans to invest $10 billion in the next 10 years to invest in genetic engineering and related drugs and therapies.

It is still a new technological concept that is rampant at the moment.

After all, the new wave of technology around 2000 is not just the Internet, biopharmaceuticals, genetic engineering and other concepts.

Pfizer has already made great investments in biopharmaceuticals. This time, it has launched the concept of genetic engineering on a large scale. On the one hand, in order to pursue market concepts and stimulate stock prices, on the other hand, it is largely in line with the Westeros system's 3G plan. After all, Pfizer has accumulated a hundred years of R&D resources in the field of medicine, which is definitely not comparable to that of the technical team Simon has incubated in a few years.

Simon just didn't expect, or, no one expected, that Pfizer's communiqué, which was mostly just a cliché, unexpectedly promoted the birth of a small miracle.

At the opening of the afternoon, Pfizer, the leader of the New York Stock Exchange, unexpectedly promoted the overall rise of genetic engineering concept stocks on the two major platforms of the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Exchange due to its planned investment in bioengineering. Among them, related concept stocks in the Nasdaq market rose fiercely, and it also pulled the entire market a lot.

As a result, at 2:37 pm that day, the market value of Igrit Company finally broke through the long-lost US$1,000 billion mark, creating a brand new capital market record.

The first trillion-dollar company was born.

Igret's market value exceeded one trillion yuan, which in turn stimulated the rise of the entire market.

As of the closing of Monday afternoon, the single-day stock price of Igrit Company rose by 2.7%, and its market value rose from US$987.1 billion before the opening to US$101.38 billion at the close. In one day, the market value increased by US$26.7 billion, but this value increased by more than the total market value of most companies in the two major stock markets.

With Igrit becoming the first trillion-dollar giant, the Nasdaq Index hit a new high, with an increase of 1.5% on the same day and closing at 7,646 points. The total value of stocks in the entire Nasdaq market therefore reached US$9.6 trillion, and it is only one step away from the 10 trillion mark.

As Igrit Company became the first trillion-dollar company to be popular on the news at the same time, it naturally cannot escape Simon's latest personal wealth.

After the closing of the afternoon of the same day, Forbes also gave the latest figure, $3 trillion on its official website and social network official homepage.

That's right.

After Forbes communicated with the Westeros system, he deliberately took a number because 3 trillion US dollars, compared with the 3.1 trillion US dollars that Forbes actually hoped to release, it gives people the feeling that there is no feeling.

Without feeling, this is very important.

Not only is the 3 trillion dollar figure, although the market value of Igret exceeds one trillion yuan is widely discussed, Simon's latest personal net worth of $3 trillion on major Internet platforms generally only existed for a few hours before slowly falling.

In short, it is really too conspicuous. Since it is actively unable to achieve the best state of "existence, but not visible", the public opinion strategy formulated by the Westeros family media public relations team for Simon is "existence, visible, but not feeling".

Simon Westeros, $3 trillion.

oh.

Then it’s time to drink and play ball.

Probably that's it.

Anyway, it was very lively for two days.

Manor in the northern suburb of Greenwich, Connecticut.

It's Tuesday evening, September 5th.

After finishing his day's work, Simon came here tonight for dinner with Sofia Fessi. In addition, Feissi's children, Daniel and Gemma. Compared to the two little ones when they first met, the boy and girl were now 19 and 17 years old, which made Simon feel a little more emotional in his heart.

It has been 14 years since 1986.

Moreover, it is probably because it has mixed memories of too many people. Even if the age of this body is 32 years old, Simon is actually unable to determine what his psychological age is, but he must have been over 32 years old.

Sofia came to New York this time to arrange another autumn fashion week that will be launched. In New York, the fashion week will be held on September 21. Although most of Melisandra's flagship brands are in Europe, they will never underestimate the North American supermarket.

After chatting about fashion week, Gemma, who was so cute and innocent back then, took the initiative to talk about the hot news in the past two days: "Simon, you are already a super rich man of $3 trillion, why do I look no different from the past?"

For the little girl who has been very close to her for many years, even if she is not as cute as a child, Simon still won’t use the cliché of ‘more money to a certain extent is just a number’ and smiled and said, “Which side? If it is money, because it has not yet reached the process of quantitative change to qualitative change, for example, 10 billion to 100 billion is definitely qualitative change, but 1 trillion to 3 trillion will not change much. In addition, if you say myself, it’s a pity that Gemma, carbon-based creatures will not become silicon-based creatures just because they have enough wealth, so I am still me.”

Simon said it interestingly, everyone smiled, and Gemma said: "But some of my classmates have made discussions. It seems that your 3G plan is likely to turn humans from carbon-based organisms to silicon-based organisms."

"It's our 3G plan," Simon deliberately emphasized, and said: "In addition, at least with our current scientific understanding, the silicon-based state is far less stable than the carbon-based state, so our team will not work in this direction, but will still improve it based on our carbon-based organisms."

Gemma nodded and suddenly looked at her mother again: "I think you must have developed some results. For example, mother, it seems that there is not much change in recent years, but it is still so beautiful."

When Sophia heard her daughter suddenly mention her, the little man's eyes turned around and she felt a little embarrassed.

Over the years, it is true that even Sofia himself has maintained considerable confidence in his current appearance and figure. However, this is largely due to his own foundation. After all, everyone has different physiques, which is probably the same as the life span of a person. Some people start to age quickly after the age of 30, while others can withstand the erosion of time. Sofia is lucky to belong to the latter.

Of course, careful maintenance over the years is also essential.

After all, no matter how good your foundation is, it cannot withstand wasted time.

Speaking of which, Sophia suddenly discovered that there were many women around her who were similar to her. After all, a certain guy’s personal preferences would probably never change in his life.

Thinking of this, I was somewhat embarrassed to be looked at by the little man, so Sophia changed the topic: "I have seen the report. We were discussing it. The time node when Igret's market value exceeded one trillion should be Tinkobaier's autumn press conference. I didn't expect it to be suddenly crossed, which is really surprising."

The launch time of Tinkobaier's autumn new product was confirmed last month, September 16th, a Saturday.

There are actually no new products this year, mainly routine updates.

However, Sofia is right. Even if there are no new hits, because the company has continued to grow rapidly in recent years, every press conference of Tinkobaier will always drive the capital market to become active.

Simon nodded: "I didn't expect it, but the market value of Igret exceeded 900 billion very early. Since the Nasdaq bubble has not burst, 1000 billion is only a matter of time."

Sofia said curiously: "According to your statement, if the Nasdaq bubble burst, what is the reasonable market value of Igret?"

"To $300 billion to $500 billion are actually more reasonable."

Daniel, who was relatively silent, said at this time: "Simon, Igret's recent price-to-earnings ratio is more than 160 times, half of it, and 80 times, is it still too high, right?"

Simon looked at the boy and said seriously: "The price-to-earnings ratio shows growth potential. Although the market value of Igret has exceeded 100 billion, with the future industrial scale of the global Internet market, it is far from reaching its limit."

Gemma was shocked: "But, I think Simon and Igret are already too big."

Simon smiled: "You are very sharp, and this is really a problem."

Gemma was praised and felt a little embarrassed, saying, "Simon, my classmate discussed it privately, saying that there have always been people in Washington who want to split Egret, and they have been suppressed. Well, anyway, you are very awesome."

Simon just smiled this time.

Related inside information: If the brother and sister are not around, they can chat with Sophia without any scruples. Forget it now. After all, the little girl obviously likes to communicate with her classmates. If she gives out some inappropriate words, it will be bad after all.

For Igrit, Simon has been considering the appropriate nodes and decisively split the company.

Otherwise, once the company is so big that it is hopeless that it will be a bit late to split it up.

This time node is probably the next collapse of the Nasdaq.
Chapter completed!
