the world is at stake

What authoritarian, ignorant, reckless, disgusting... There are more and more adjectives.

When it came to talking, Le Chirette's assistant walked into the interview scene in a panic, winking at his old ambassador, as if something big was about to happen.

But before Le Chillette understood what was going on, a group of agents in FBI uniforms broke into the camera in full armor and forcibly became the protagonist of the interview.

The reporter was stupid, the cameraman was stupid, and so was Le Chillette.

The assistant who came over had a bitter expression on his face, and said in a sad tone: "Chairman, I failed to stop the FBI people. They insisted on seeing you."

No... The little leader of the FBI who led the team showed a piece of paper, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Lechlet, we are not here to see you, but we hope you will come with us and cooperate with us on certain medical issues." investigation."

In order to accept the interview, Le Chillette sat on the sofa with the standard "old white man" elite posture, showing his demeanor as the chairman of the world's first-class pharmaceutical company.

But when a group of FBI special agents surrounded him eagerly, Le Qilet was so angry that there was phlegm in his throat, he kept hooting, and his face turned green and white.

After a long time, Le Chillette roared angrily: "The company I manage pays a lot of taxes for the country, I have a very good relationship with Washington, and the speakers of both parties in Congress respect me very much.

Where are you from?And who allowed you to break into my office?This was extremely rude and rude behavior and I want him to pay for it. "

The angry roar was like thunder, but...

"It's Mr. Oliver Harden." The little head of the FBI proudly shook the torn piece of paper in his hand, "Your Excellency 'National Security Advisor' asked me to send a message, you don't have any problem with any procedures, he can give you Write one immediately."

What?

Senseless!

The reporters, cameramen, assistants, and all the audience watching the live interview in front of the camera were all dumbfounded—has the dynasty of Great America changed?How could someone speak in such a tone?

This will lead to a collective crusade by the media and the public, will be abandoned and cursed by the powerful and financial groups, and will become a laughing stock and pitiful creature in the political arena—oh, it is His Excellency Harden?

It's all right!

Because of being too angry, Le Qilet's teeth were chattering.In the eyes of others, he seemed to be terrified.Because the person who came to clean him up was not an ordinary person.

No matter how good Le Chillet is, can he compare to Bloomberg?

Bloomberg has been dismantled by Harden, so what if Lilly is dismantled?

The little head of the FBI said in a joking tone: "Mr. Lechlet, I hope you will cooperate. Otherwise, I will take coercive measures."

Le Chirette's face was originally flushed, but at this moment he aged 20 years instantly.His assistant stepped forward, helped him stand up, and walked a few steps tremblingly.

The CNN reporter was in a daze until his cell phone rang.An excited and annoyed voice came out, "Idiot, this is big news, go and interview it. If you are arrested together, we will give you a million dollar reward."

Yep, big news.

The reporter jumped up like an electric shock, grabbed the microphone and rushed in front of the little FBI leader, shouting: "Sir, can I accept an interview? Are you going to arrest Mr. Le Chillette?"

"No, we just asked him to cooperate with the investigation."

"Can he see a lawyer?"

"of course can."

"Can he be released on bail?"

"Just cooperate with the investigation, and you can leave within 24 hours at most. No bail is required."

When Harden dealt with Bloomberg, he was arrested in a serious manner. Not only was he not allowed to be released on bail, but he was also not allowed to see a lawyer.Until now, people don't know where the former media giant was locked up.

There is clearly a chance for Le Chirette's situation now.The chairman immediately turned to look at the reporter and asked, "Is it still live?"

The reporter looked at the cameraman, who nodded repeatedly.

Le Chillette turned to the camera and said seriously: "I have great respect for Mr. Harden, absolutely very, very respect. What I said just now was a bit offensive, and it was a mistake made on impulse.

I will cooperate with this FBI investigation, and Eli Lilly will certainly cooperate.Our pharmaceutical companies do need to make certain changes to make more contributions to society. "

Wow... where's the face?Shameless?

He just scolded Harden so much, now that the FBI came to his door, he immediately knelt down and licked him.This change is too fast, right?

Mr. Le Chillette, where are your awe-inspiring pride and solid confidence?Harden didn't even show up, he just sent a pawn to clean you up.

What a shame.

The little head of the FBI who came to "invite" seemed to have expected this, and urged Le Chillette to hurry up, and said with a straight face that he had the right to change "assist in investigation" to "arrest" if he thought it was appropriate.

Once 'arrested', the nature is completely different.

There have long been rumors in the industry that Mr. Harden gave Bloomberg face and invited him to a private party.The result is that Bloomberg is too arrogant to get himself into trouble.

Le Chillette didn't dare to make fun of his own life.

The CNN reporter wanted to be 'arrested' but couldn't get it. Remember to follow the FBI Secret Service, wishing for a pair of 'silver bracelets' to handcuff him too.

After failing to 'succeed', the reporter could only grab the microphone in frustration and report to the camera: "Just 1 minute ago, FBI agents broke into the office of Eli Lilly Chairman Le Chillette and interrupted our interview. its interview.

Since Bloomberg was arrested last year, the media has been speculating who will be Harden's next 'prey'.Now, after nearly a year, we have reason to believe that this is another storm that shakes the entire United States.

After dealing with the media giant Bloomberg, Mr. Harden, who had just been promoted to 'National Security Adviser', extended his hand to the medical field.We don't yet know what the outcome will be.But obviously, pharmaceutical giants, you have to be careful. "

Since the interview was broadcast live, it can be seen across the United States and around the world.People were shocked by the decisiveness and strength of the FBI, and even more heated discussions erupted.

The New York stock market reacted swiftly to the news. U.S. medical stocks plummeted across the board, and Lilly's share price even nearly halved.But before the market closed, a huge amount of money suddenly entered the market to hunt for bottoms, which quickly drove up the stock price.

This magical scene stunned Wall Street investors. At the same time, they realized that the situation behind this was definitely not the FBI’s suppression of American pharmaceutical companies, and there must be black hands behind the scenes.

Lao Ge's English listening is very poor, so he couldn't figure out what happened on the news—how did it sound like a TV series?A batch of FBI came during the interview?A certain villain withered.

Fortunately, Lao Ge's reading skills are quite good. He took out his mobile phone to surf the Internet and browsed the latest news before he realized—oh...just now, the American pharmaceutical industry has suffered a rollercoaster ride.

"Who is this Oliver Harden?" Lao Ge, who is in the military industry, never pays attention to American political news on weekdays, "Where did the green onions come from?

Why is it being said on the Internet that this is the most terrifying 'National Security Advisor' in the history of the United States?No matter how terrible it is, can it compare to McCarthy back then? "

Hmm...McCarthy?

This is looking down on Mr. Harden!

Chapter 91

In Indianapolis, Le Chillette is 'invited' to the local FBI station and finds himself in a videoconference.

In a room similar to an interrogation room, there is a table, a chair, a monitor, a camera and a microphone.On the monitor, there are divided pictures one by one. If you look carefully, they are all the chairman or president of the major pharmaceutical giants in the United States.

Some people are so good they can stay in their offices for meetings.Someone with a bad attitude was forcibly dragged into a "single room" by the FBI's special agents for a meeting.

Other than that, there is no difference, everyone is equal.

The person presiding over the meeting was the prestigious 'National Security Adviser' Oliver Harden.His avatar is the largest in the center of the screen, as if surrounded by stars.

When all the personnel arrived, His Excellency Harden began to give lectures.In the office of the White House, he coughed lightly, and everyone on the screen immediately offered their respectful and admiring eyes and expressions.

"Everyone, I was supposed to invite you to a meeting at the White House. But now that the epidemic has broken out, gatherings and going out must be minimized, and we can only hold online meetings.

In fact, this is quite good. It can save a lot of travel expenses and time, and reduce office expenses. It is worth promoting.I believe that during the epidemic, there will be a wave of online office work.

Let's get down to business.On behalf of the National Security Advisor of the United States, I hope that you can reduce the prices of medicines and equipment for your respective companies.

Our nation's health care system is terrible, inefficient, layered, and redundant.People have not been able to enjoy the benefits of technological progress and social development at all. "

Harden paused for a while, but no one answered in the video, not even a cough.The high-status pharmaceutical giants just try to keep smiling faces, that's all.

"Mr. Lechlet." Harden called his name. "Tell me, can Lilly lower the prices of commonly used medicines? For example, insulin, which is ten times more expensive than Linguo."

Le Chirette felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, twisted his buttocks a few times and then hesitated: "Dear Mr. Harden, this needs to be discussed by the board of directors, and it involves complicated issues of medical insurance..."

"Are you rejecting me?" Harden interrupted.He clicked the mouse lightly on the computer in his office, and Le Chillette's old face immediately filled the screens of every participant.

Even Le Chillette could see his old, extremely nervous face on the monitor.He felt his heart beating faster, and he squeezed out a smile tremblingly: "Your Excellency Harden, of course I personally agree with your suggestion. But..."

"But you just don't want to implement it." Harden stared coldly, "I know you think you have some kind of amnesty, you have the power to modify government policies, and none of you are willing to reduce your profits.

I need to kill one or even a few of you before the others can be touched.Let you understand that the country is not controlled by you. "

what does this mean?so direct?Don't give a chance to bargain?

"Wait...Mr. Harden, I need a chance to appeal." Le Chillette felt that he was about to become the slaughtered chicken.

Maybe it's not a chicken, it's a monkey.

But the result made no difference.

Harden ignored it, he casually pulled out a report from his desk, and read aloud:

"Over the past five years, Lilly has paid more than $500 million in bribes to more than a dozen government officials, including Health Secretary Azar, in order to raise the price of commonly used drugs, including insulin."

Le Chillette exclaimed: "Your Excellency Harden, my lawyer can prove to you that this is a legal political donation."

"Whether it is legal or not, it doesn't matter what you say. It doesn't matter what your lawyer says."

Harden looked indifferent, secretly mocking.

"It's such a small matter that other people will not be shaken by Lilly. But Bloomberg, who is still in custody, can assure you that I can do it.

You hate me, and I hate you too.

All of you here are greedy vampires. The drug research is not about how to cure the disease, but how to make the patient use it for a long time and cannot get rid of it for life.

The demons of the abyss are kinder than you.I called you together to give you a chance to redeem your sins, not to argue with me.

You can be unwilling, you can desperately resist.

I also formally inform you that the IRS is investigating your tax situation.I can put you in jail anytime and make your business pay huge fines.

So, my words are commands.You either obey or die. "

After saying this, Harden clicked lightly on his computer and exited the video conference.Not long after, a smiling young man with an Asian face appeared in the center of the screen.

"Hi, gentlemen, good afternoon. Your Excellency Harden is not very tempered, I hope you understand. My name is Sun Luoji, and I am here to inform you of the medicines that need to be reduced in price."

Sun Luoji's witticism failed to bring the slightest relaxed atmosphere, and the pharmaceutical giant sitting in front of the monitor felt a strong threat.Their first reaction was to keep silent, and at the same time let the assistants and lawyers rush to contact their respective backers.

If they can unite to overthrow the damn Harden, they will do it without hesitation.But the news feedback is all frustrating-the anti-Harden alliance failed to take shape, but the anti-medicine alliance is already in operation.

Why pack up the pharmaceutical giants including Le Chillette?

The reason is simple, finance does not generate value, it is just a numbers game.If you don't want the U.S. finances to collapse in the epidemic, you must tear down the east to make up for the west.

The outbreak of the epidemic will severely damage the insurance industry and will inevitably trigger a huge financial tsunami.The rich and powerful in the United States don't care about the life and death of the people at the bottom, but they care very much about maintaining and increasing the value of their property.

'Harden' hosted a pandemic feast, but everyone involved knew the consequences -- the economy would collapse.

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin is strongly opposed to Harden's practice of raising money to speculate in financial markets.But he can't do anything about the epidemic. There are only two ways the entire cabinet can think of.

Either overall immunity, or a vaccine.But these two things can't be done within a year.

As for the economy, the way the Ministry of Finance thinks is to print money and borrow money, flooding it like drinking poison to quench thirst.But Harden came up with another solution.

The insurance industry is an important pillar of the financial consortium, and its influence is stronger than Bloomberg.Harden promised to save the Treasury money elsewhere and appease the insurance industry.

Mnuchin decided to back down and let Harden try while printing money.

Harden's specific approach is very simple, clean up the pharmaceutical industry, reduce drug prices, and reduce the insurance industry's medical expenses.

The income of the insurance industry comes from premiums, and expenses come from various accidents.If the premium remains the same, the price of medical drugs can fall, and its profits can skyrocket.

The insurance group Grandet found out that he was profitable after calculation, and immediately abandoned his allies.

Le Chillette was released after being 'interviewed' for more than ten hours.After he came out, he looked exhausted, and when he saw his assistant and lawyer, he asked anxiously, "What's going on now?"

"After you were taken away by the FBI, Eli Lilly's stock price plummeted by half." The assistant spoke bitterly.

Le Qilet nodded, which was within his expectation.

But the assistant continued: "But before the market closed today, Lilly's stock price soared again, not only returning to the original level, but also exceeding 5.00%."

what?

There must be ghosts behind such ups and downs!

Le Chirette's mind froze, and he asked anxiously, "Who is buying and selling our stocks?"

"It's a fund company called 'Shengguang'. They borrowed our shares from banks and brokerages, and began to sell them before the negative news spread, causing the stock price to plummet.

When the stock price bottomed out, the 'Sacred Light Fund' bought it again.It made billions of dollars just by buying short and selling short, and it also held [-]% of our equity. "

three percent?

Le Qilet jumped up immediately. For a large pharmaceutical group like Eli Lilly, [-]% of the equity is already a major shareholder, who can place people on the board of directors and influence the company's operating decisions.

It was so easy to get so many shares, which means that the chairman's position is unstable.

"Damn Harden, he is still pretending to be righteous in front of me, but doing such dirty things behind his back. Politicians have black hearts and stinking pus. I knew there were no good people in Washington!"

Le Chirette burst into tears, beating his chest and stamping his feet.If this kind of thing can happen, there will never be one or two people who reach out to make money behind the scenes. He knows that he has no chance of turning things around.
