Chapter 313 Diversifying Risks (3K2
Sun Lien had no idea what the implantable insulin pump looks like and what its possible effects were. But Kobayashi Feng felt like he had found a treasure and thanked Sun Lien several times in succession, and then hung up the phone with satisfaction.
"..." Sun Lien looked at the call interface that had ended on his phone with a very complicated look, then sighed and put the phone in his pocket again - Is Kobayashi Feng really okay? This kind of way that can be moved by just two sentences is really not like the chairman of a large pharmaceutical company that should be.
At least you have to go back to study and hang up the phone.
However, Sun Lien really has no time to care about what the future of Takeda Pharmaceutical will look like. He still has to finish this meal first.
The situation in the second half was relatively smooth. At least Sun Lien himself found nothing worth noting. After the meal, Sun Hongbin and Hu Weimin decided to find a teahouse to continue chatting. Under this suggestion, the two soon decided to go downstairs of the hotel where Sun Hongbin was staying in to continue chatting. At the same time, they had to bring their two mothers together to participate.
These four elders had to continue chatting, but Hu Jia and Sun Lien had to go to work tomorrow. So, the two sides happily decided to ask Sun Lien to send Hu Jia back - to Hu Jing's house, so that she could go to work tomorrow morning.
Sun Lien took over the task and took his little girlfriend into the car. Fortunately, today's dinner table was mainly Sun Hongbin and Hu Weimin drinking, but he didn't get drunk.
On the way back, Sun Lien was always a little frightened. He really didn't know how he was doing today - but I think Hu Jia's parents are willing to talk to his parents in detail, so the result should at least not be too bad.
Halfway through the way, Hu Jia didn't say much. He didn't look at Sun Lien and said quietly, "I feel like I'm dreaming now."
"Ah?" Sun Lien drove the car and didn't realize what the sentence meant, "What's wrong?"
"Not real." Hu Jia burst out laughing, "It's like a dream... I always felt that normal situations should be the occasional time when I go to work and on my phone. My parents and you are two completely different worlds." She leaned back, locked in her seat, but she was still looking at Sun Lien, as if she couldn't see enough of this face. "After meeting this time, it was like the two worlds suddenly overlapping..." She paused and said softly, "I suddenly felt that you would be in the rest of my life."
Sun Lien felt aroused when Hu Jia said something. He smiled and asked, "Now I feel that I have to live with me for the rest of my life? Then I'm earlier than you."
"Brave." Hu Jia seemed a little annoyed, but the smile on her face could not be covered.

It was already 10:30 in the evening when Hu Jing took Hu Jia to the place. As always, Hu Jing stood at the door waiting for her niece to arrive. And after receiving Hu Jia, she glared at Sun Lien in a hidden way.
Sun Lien clearly read the meaning of "You little bastard, you dare to be frustrated on such an important matter, waiting for me to come back to deal with you." In response, Sun Lien put his hands together and bowed again, which was very simple, "Thank you for your help from my aunt, and I will be very filial to you when I look back."
Hu Jia followed his aunt into the house, and Sun Lien also started his Volvo again and walked towards the dormitory. He went to work normally tomorrow, but as long as there was no strange patient being taken in, it would not be a big problem even if he left early - after all, he was still working overtime for a day in the rescue room today.
As soon as the car drove out of the community gate of Hu Jing's house, Sun Lien's mobile phone rang again. This time it was a domestic number. Sun Lien was deeply impressed by the six 3s ending on this number - this is Chen Qingmei's mobile phone number.
"Sister Chen, I heard you went to Tokyo today?" Sun Lien used the Bluetooth phone to answer the phone and said with a smile, "It's really thanks to Sister Chen's help today. I'm so troubled you."
"Doctor Sun, you came to my restaurant for a meal and consumption. I should thank you." Chen Qingmei said a few politely, but her tone seemed to be a little...an unstable emotion lurked. She and Sun Lien exchanged a few more words and suddenly asked, "Doctor Sun, what do you think of Takeda Pharmaceuticals as a company?"
"Ah?" Although he guessed that Chen Qingmei suddenly flew to Tokyo, it was probably related to Takeda Pharmaceutical's affairs. But he really didn't expect Chen Qingmei to ask himself this question so directly, "I...I think it's okay, right?"
"Tada has encountered big trouble this time." Even though he was so experienced and light-eyed, he was not only anxious when he mentioned the troubles that Takeda faced. "The deputy director in charge of sales in the company was going to force the ward, and Takeda's stock price fell badly today."
Sun Lien was not very understanding of this topic, but he also knew that Shen Qingmei's Yuhua Group and Takeda Pharmaceutical are now tied very closely - both sides can be said to be prosperous and both sides are losing.
In fact, this is the problem that makes Chen Qing's eyebrows aggravate. Takeda Pharmaceutical's stock price has been very stable over the past decade. It can always have a 2-3% increase every year, and finally after the dividend is included, investors can get a comprehensive return of nearly 5% a year.
This ratio is not too high in the capital market, but fortunately it is stable and often. The reason why Yuhua Group, which is a gentle and light-eyed person and its Hong Kong-licensed banks dare to act as the main force of the syndicate is because of this comprehensive return rate.
But... Takeda suddenly burst into a big thunder, which made all investors feel nervous. Chen Qingmei, who took off from Ningyuan to Tokyo at 5 o'clock this afternoon, was actually quite slow to move. Other investors either had their own offices and representatives directly in Tokyo, or simply sent personnel to Takeda Pharmaceutical for a long time. They had almost come to find Kobayashi Tung when Takeda's stock price had just changed.
Most of the other investors are creditors brought by Takeda in the form of equity mortgage or physical mortgage. But Yuhua Group is different. They are strategic cornerstone investors. What they exchange for their own money is not mortgage, but a batch of stocks.
In return, Yuhua Group and Hong Kong Yu Bank can not only reap dividends from Takeda Pharmaceutical, but also have stocks that can appreciate. If the stock price rises, it is of course a very cost-effective transaction - three to five years later, it is possible that the comprehensive income of this investment exceeds 100%. And with the improvement of the rare disease treatment system implemented by Takeda Pharmaceutical, this investment will inevitably become more and more profitable.
But after the stock price suddenly fell, the pressure suddenly hit Yuhua Group. As a comprehensive industrial group, Yuhua's capital chain cannot be considered particularly abundant. After withdrawing nearly 800 million cash flow, the capital flow risks faced by Yuhua Group are even more unacceptable.
Today, Takeda Pharmaceutical's stock price has fallen by 34%, while Yuhua Group and Hong Kong Yu Bank have scattered nearly US$8 billion in total, and the current market valuation is still more than 5.2 billion. This loss has almost exceeded the upper limit of Hong Kong Yu Bank. If losses continue to occur, it is likely that it will not be able to meet the risk control requirements of the Hong Kong Financial Bureau, and thus be subject to the risk of punishment or even revocation of licenses.
All the total assets of Yuhua Group are less than 8 billion US dollars together. The reason why Chen Qingmei was able to mobilize such a large amount of funds was mainly due to this Hong Kong bank license and the leverage amplification ability of the entire relevant financial system.
According to the worst plan, as long as the stock price of Takeda Pharmaceuticals falls by more than 20%, Yuhua Group will be completely eliminated. Not only will they lose Takeda Pharmaceuticals, which accounts for 15% of the total, they will also go bankrupt due to huge losses. All assets of Yuhua Group will be sold to fill the leverage losses, and the insurance companies that signed insurance contracts with Hong Kong Yu Bank will also lose a lot. The compensation for the policy will be used to pay for the losses suffered by Hong Kong Yu Bank depositors and customers, as a result of the bankruptcy of Hong Kong Yu Bank.
Chen Qingmei was really anxious. She could not accept that her group had gone out of this kind. But she really had no way to reverse the current situation - Kobayashi Feng promised to have a "major" measure to turn the situation around, and even offered to provide 500 million US dollars of interest-free additional margin to Hong Kong Yu Bank in his personal name to resolve the risks. But this only made Yuhua Group's room for elimination slightly larger. If the problem is not completely solved, it is only a matter of time.
She called Sun Lien to think calmly from Sun Lien's perspective - whether Takeda Pharmaceutical is a worthy company to invest in. She needs to make a decision immediately to continue to maintain this huge risk; to start sharing the risks now and sell part of the stocks at a loss; or simply cut off the power of a hero and lose 40%, so that the entire Hong Kong Yu Bank and half of the Yuhua Group will be transformed into bubbles in the capital market, thus retaining half of the Yuhua Group.
Under such pressure, Chen Qingmei still only has "a hint of uneasiness in her tone", which is an extraordinary psychological quality.
Sun Lien thought for a while and asked, "Have Mr. Kobayashi Feng called you within one or two hours?"
"No." Chen Qingmei said decisively, "I came out of Takeda's headquarters about four hours ago, and he had never communicated with me again."
"Two hours ago, Mr. Toyo Kobayashi called me. Two main things were mentioned." Sun Lien thought about it and said, "One may be related to Astras, and the other may be related to implantable insulin pumps."

Chen Qingmei sat in the top floor suite of the Empire Hotel. Outside the window, she could vaguely see the dim Hibigu Park and the silhouette of the Imperial Palace further away. She took a deep breath and then made a new phone call.
"Caifengjie, I'm Chen Qingmei." She calmed down her emotions and said, "You said before that you want to buy a part of Takeda's shares... The group now has the idea of dividing some shares to share risks. Are you still interested in this? I must remind you that Takeda Pharmaceutical's stock price has been very unstable recently. This afternoon, it suddenly fell by more than 30%, otherwise we would never consider selling some of the shares..."
