"After all, Baymax was developed from your hands, and we also hope that in the future you will continue developing more pharmaceutical technology. That aligns with our shared interests. If you perform even better later on, we will also take an additional three percent of the equity from our side as an incentive reward. In terms of treatment, it will absolutely be the highest in the industry."
"And you don't need to worry that having fewer shares will mean you earn less. I can tell you clearly that, even without counting company income, the annual income from your personal equity alone will definitely be much, much higher than what you have now."
"Once our cooperation is complete, you'll be responsible for development, while we'll handle sales, market expansion, and the distribution channels. As for the specific implementation plan and execution standards, you can turn the contract in your hand to page 123, where everything is explained in detail..."
Looking at Killian's completely unchanged expression, Alex still kept enduring it and continued speaking.
To be honest, this acquisition offer was already extremely generous.
Before this, AIM's valuation had not even reached one hundred million.
And now they were increasing it by hundreds of times to buy it, while only taking seventy percent of the shares.
Before this, Alex had never even heard of such favorable acquisition terms in the market.
So he was very confident about this buyout.
Because if it were him, he would absolutely agree without hesitation.
But for Killian, after hearing those words, he could not help frowning.
Five hundred billion dollars was indeed a lot.
But wanting to take seventy percent of AIM's shares with that?
That was practically robbery.
Based only on Baymax's quarterly sales, even judging from the current numbers while it had only just begun entering the market, the estimated result was already ten billion dollars in revenue.
And that was without mentioning that for anything on the market, before online shopping had become widespread, the initial sales period was always the weakest. Only later, as the market expanded, would sales really begin to explode.
It could be said that Baymax's annual revenue would absolutely reach fifty billion dollars.
And now they wanted to use the money he would make in the future to buy him out and take seventy percent of his company.
Shuffle it from one hand to the other, and it was basically equivalent to him selling himself to himself.
"Heh. Five hundred billion dollars? For seventy percent of the shares? Fine, then I won't be greedy either. I'll offer one hundred billion dollars to buy thirty percent of each company represented here. Do you agree?"
After hearing Alex out, Killian let out a mocking laugh, tore the proposal in his hand into pieces, and directly spoke to the pharmaceutical executives before him.
"Hm? Hahaha, it seems Mr. Killian has quite the sense of humor."
"Mr. Killian, the most important thing in life is to be smart."
"What kind of scale is your company, and what kind of scale are ours?"
"Any one of the companies present here, if singled out, is enough to crush you. What exactly would you use to acquire us?"
"And honestly, let me offer Mr. Killian a piece of advice. It's not that we can't develop cross-era high-tech equipment. The key is that... everyone in this circle understands the rule of maximizing profit."
"And do you really think yours is the only cross-era technology ever born in this world? You should know that the world is vast. In this age, there have been many lucky people who developed technology far ahead of its time. They all fancied themselves as world-changers. But do you know what happened to them in the end?"
"Blank. Nothing. Their disappearance didn't even make a ripple. It was as if they had never existed at all."
"And now, Mr. Killian, do you know how many pharmaceutical companies your Baymax has smashed the livelihoods of the moment it came out?"
"There's a quote I rather like, so let me pass it on to you now: 'If there is 100 percent profit, capital will become daring. If there is 200 percent profit, capital will disregard the law. If there is 300 percent profit, capital will trample over everything in the world.'"
"And now... you're not even leaving everyone one hundred percent profit. So tell me, what do you think is going to happen to you next?"
In response to Killian's arrogant words, Alex did not get angry. Instead, he smiled, then spoke to Killian with a dark expression.
"Before we came here, we had already heard that several other medical giants were also preparing to move against your company. And on the European side, there are old families with extremely powerful influence who are ready to act, and on top of that, several Russian medical enterprises no weaker than us are also watching. Don't think that just because you invented Baymax and made a big splash that nobody can touch you."
"In front of truly powerful forces, your AIM is nothing. Right now, you are food on the table, and everyone wants to carve off a piece and eat."
"Without the protection of an enterprise alliance with tremendous influence, your company simply cannot continue operating. You need to understand that even if we let you on board, we ourselves would still be facing enormous pressure. What you need to realize is that we're actually trying to save you."
And at the same time, as if to support Alex's words, Modis at the side also looked at Killian with a pitying gaze and clicked his tongue.
"Mr. Killian, if you're smart, you should understand that no one in this world can eat alone. Coexistence is eternal. Why do you think our country has become the giant standing at the top of the world today?"
"It's because everyone at the top deeply understands that the result of eating alone is only to choke to death."
At the other side, Francis Henry, the Executive President of Pfizer, also parted her lips and added.
Compared to the near-open threats being laid out by the people before him,
Killian remained silent.
The words had already been pushed this far.
Everyone present looked at Killian with schadenfreude, because in their eyes, he was nothing more than a newly rich upstart who had gotten lucky overnight, someone who understood nothing. If he insisted on resisting, then he would only walk the same path as those earlier lucky inventors who had also managed to create some world-changing technology.
And so, just when everyone thought Killian would now be subdued by them and become one more branch under their control,
Killian suddenly began to laugh.
It was the kind of laughter that came when someone heard an especially ridiculous joke, tried hard to suppress it, and yet still could not help letting it spill out.
And Alex, who had already started smiling because he thought everything was settled, immediately saw his expression darken again when he noticed Killian's strange reaction.
