"Master, there's a visitor," the butler said in an electronic voice.
Confused, Chen Zhao said, "Show me the video."
The surveillance footage was brought up. It was an unfamiliar man.
He wore a gray suit and glasses. His hair was combed until it was shiny and shiny. He had a briefcase in his hand.
Chen Zhao was sure that he didn't know this man.
"Who is it?" Chen Zhao asked.
The man looked at the camera and said, "Hello, I'm Ningtai Johnson from Felman Biopharmaceutical Company."
Chen Zhao thought for a moment and decided to let the man in.
Ningtai Johnson looked more like a salesman.
His words and actions were methodical and carried a strong professional habit.
It wasn't that he was impolite.
He was just too well-behaved.
Seeing Chen Zhao at the door, he immediately greeted him with a smile and shook his hand.
"Hello, I'm Ningtai Johnson, the investment manager of Felman Biopharmaceutical Company. This is my name card."
Chen Zhao glanced at the card and put it away.
He would probably throw the card away later.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
"Our company has 30 years of history. We've developed many popular medicines in the market. We've done research on epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. Currently, we're working on these two diseases. Our research on epilepsy has reached a critical stage. However, due to lack of funding, there hasn't been any progress. Mr. Chen, are you interested in investing in us?"
"Do you have any information?" Chen Zhao was a doctor, so he wasn't unfamiliar with epilepsy.
Epilepsy was a neurological disease. It wasn't an incurable disease. Current medical technology had a chance of curing it. There were also some special drugs that could control the disease.
Therefore, if the other party was researching special drugs for epilepsy, it would be difficult to compete with the special drugs that were currently dominating the market unless it had a very good effect in a short period of time.
Therefore, Chen Zhao wasn't too optimistic about this.
Of course, if the other party could provide information that could make Chen Zhao's eyes light up.
Chen Zhao didn't mind investing some money.
"Sorry, I'm only the investment manager. Our research is in a confidential stage, so I can't take it out casually."
"Then where's your company? Where's the production line? Where's the research lab? You should have the company's main information, right? "
Chen Zhao hadn't heard of Felman Biopharmaceutical Company, so he was still cautious.
Of course, there were at least 800 pharmaceutical companies in the world.
So, Chen Zhao wasn't sure who this person was.
Ningtai Johnson's mannerisms were also very normal.
Chen Zhao didn't notice anything strange.
Of course, there was nothing strange.
However, the other party had yet to produce any information.
So, he wanted to take millions of dollars from Chen Zhao with just a few words.
It must be a little whimsical.
Even if the government wanted to collect taxes, they still had to provide financial reports.
Not to mention investment.
"Most of our research is relatively hidden, so the research laboratory is not open to the public. The production line and the laboratory are together, and there is only one branch that is connected to the outside world. It is currently located on the 36th floor of the Lyle Business Building on Hua Ning Street, Fifth Avenue, New York."
"If that's all, I'm afraid I can't invest," Chen Zhao said honestly.
There was no need for Chen Zhao to beat around the bush with his opponent's identity.
Giving a direct reply would also stop her from pestering him.
Although the other party had given him the address of a branch.
However, this kind of address was basically just a shell company.
There were only a few liaisons, and then a few employees.
Then, he disappeared from the face of the earth.
By then, it wouldn't be just the investors.
Even the employees wouldn't be able to ask for pay.
There were countless such scams all over the world.
Chen Zhao still couldn't be sure if it was a scam company.
However, judging from the other party's behavior, Chen Zhao was more inclined to his guess.
"Mr. Chen, our company really has a bright future. Are you sure you don't want to invest? Once our research succeeds, it won't be a matter of whether you want to invest, but whether we can let you in. "
"Sorry, I have enough money. Thank you for your kindness."
His company was already one of the most profitable in the world.
There were probably less than a handful of companies that could compete with his cash flow.
Would Chen Zhao care if a nameless company was profitable?
Even if it was profitable, it would only give him some pocket money.
Would he regret it just because he had less pocket money?
That was ridiculous …
Ningtai Johnson was helpless.
The man before him was indeed very rich.
Just by looking at the palace-like manor, he knew how rich he was.
"Okay. If Mr. Chen is interested in this in the future, please contact me immediately."
"Okay." Smiling, Chen Zhao invited Ningtai Johnson out of the manor.
Ningtai Johnson looked back at the luxurious manor and then left helplessly.
Chen Zhao looked at Ningtai Johnson's back and took out his phone.
"Alex, help me look up a company." Chen Zhao glanced at the name card. "Felman Biopharmaceutical Company."
Alex made Chen Zhao wait for less than 30 seconds. Then she said, "This is a shell company with a registered capital of $100,000. It doesn't do financial investments or any related upstream or downstream companies. It doesn't produce any products and currently has no tax records. That's all I've found from the tax website. If you need more detailed information, you'll have to wait for a while."
So it really was a shell company?
Chen Zhao pursed his lips. "Forget it. There's no need to look. The people from this company came to me for investment."
The information that Alex had found was enough.
Chen Zhao wasn't interested in knowing more about the company.
He wasn't interested in knowing how many people the company had cheated.
Anyway, it was fine as long as his money wasn't cheated.
…
Ningtai Johnson returned to the hotel and tossed his briefcase aside casually. He slumped into the chair, his expression changing continuously.
He'd failed again today to find an investment.
Of course, this wasn't his first failure.
Before this, Ningtai Johnson had already found a dozen rich people.
But all of them gave the same answer.
No money, f * ck off.
The only difference was that some people were more subtle.
For example, the Chinese man today.
Just then, Ningtai Johnson's phone rang.
"Ningtai, how's it going? Did you get the investment? "
"No, no one's an idiot," Ningtai Johnson complained. "I don't have any valuable information. Why should they invest?"
"Looks like normal plans won't work. I need to use some unconventional methods to accumulate research funds."
