Chapter 757: Chapter 757: The Marks of Time!
These past two days, Chen Cang suddenly fell into a state of busyness!
As the department head, not a single major surgery could be missed in his department; he had to find time to perform surgery on his mother, and then return to analyze the data.
This was the first time in over twenty years that Chen Cang seriously looked at his mother’s face.
Wrinkles, age spots, white hair…
These things stabbed into his heart like knives.
Everyone ages, but… Chen Cang didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.
He had always thought his parents were still strong and capable, holding up the sky of their family.
But now, all of a sudden, perhaps… he realized they were truly beginning to age.
The hair at their temples was already graying, the skin on their faces no longer as tight and elastic as before, the occasional age spots were lamentable.
Chen Cang took a deep breath!
This surgery had taken a long time, Chen Cang wanted to meticulously smooth out every wrinkle, to erase the traces of time with care, not wanting life’s knife to carve marks across her face.
Unfortunately, in the end, people do get old.
This was the first time in history that Chen Cang had looked at his mother’s face for such an extended time, so intently.
For some reason, it brought a few more stings of sadness.
After the surgery, Yang Jiahui was quite embarrassed, yet very happy.
After the surgery was over, Chen Cang called Xu Rou, and had Manager Xu arrange some nursing care to provide maintenance for his mother’s hands and body.
Plastic surgery hospitals do more than just surgeries; a big part of the income comes from regular maintenance, like photorejuvenation… facials and such.
The cheaper ones cost a couple of thousand each time, the expensive ones can exceed tens of thousands each session.
But it’s only two or three times a year, and now more and more people are becoming accepting of it.
After getting his mother settled, Chen Cang stood up to leave.
With the care of the nurses, Chen Cang was relatively at ease.
In the evening, when he got home, Chen Cang began to seriously contemplate the vast amount of data.
Anxu Pharmaceutical had been very professional; the analysis of clinical data was very thorough. They had spent a lot of money researching their competition but after millions were poured into it, they suddenly found out that the opposition was really strong.
It was a highly frustrating matter!
But still!
It was also a necessary thing to do.
The goal was to find some shortcomings.
Thousands of data points, different indicators analyzed using various statistical methods.
The analysis of the safety coefficients was mostly done with blood, urine, and stool tests, liver and kidney function, but Anxu Pharmaceutical was meticulous, also doing resistance, dependence, and cardiac rhythm tests.
Looking at the results of each statistical analysis, Chen Cang’s mind raced like a high-speed calculator, constantly thinking and recalculating.
No problems…
Still no problems…
If one were to continue research based on these data, truly there seemed to be no issue.
Chen Cang couldn’t help but close his eyes.
If he couldn’t find any anomalies with VOLB Company’s cough syrup, this 20 million stock purchase would turn out to be his greatest loss.
Anxu Pharmaceutical was now in jeopardy, with other shareholders eager to offload the hot potato, and Gu Xin, the company CEO, only had a forty percent stake.
After the bank’s risk assessment, it was very difficult to secure loans, and yet he had gotten involved.
Chen Cang took a deep breath, took out a pen and paper, and began recalculating using the data.
If he could extract some useful information from the existing data, it would undoubtedly save a lot of steps.
Atrial fibrillation… cardiac arrhythmia…
Chen Cang hurriedly started examining the results analysis for ordinary people.
The results showed that cardiac arrhythmias could occur, which everyone knew, but nobody had atrial fibrillation.
Moreover, nobody would associate it with atrial fibrillation.
At that moment!
Chen Cang suddenly realized something.
Right!
I fell into a trap.
Why did I need to look at the results shown by these ECG reports?
The clinical data’s ECGs were all there, I could have checked each and every ECG myself.
Chen Cang’s ECG was of perfect grade!
His diagnostic ability was the strongest.
Moreover, he could analyze together with the biochemical data from the blood tests at the time, to make a collective judgement.
During atrial fibrillation, although physiological and biochemical indicators might not show too much abnormality, the blood flow speed does undergo slight changes.
Even without atrial fibrillation, there would be some subtle differences.
After thinking it through, Chen Cang gritted his teeth and made a decision!
Look at the ECGs!
Were they not just tens of thousands of ECGs?
…
…
Chen Cang went to Anxu Pharmaceuticals, and moved the ECGs straight to the duty room, a total of seven or eight boxes of ECGs, making everyone in the office’s scalp tingle!
It was terrifying!
Chen Cang decided to analyze them one by one, as arrhythmia and normal heart rhythm differ greatly.
And on Thursday morning, Anxu Pharmaceuticals officially held a meeting, announcing the transfer of shares.
Zhang Tianshun didn’t hesitate at all today, directly dropping the price to 15 million!
This caused the other three shareholders’ faces to change instantly.
They hadn’t expected Zhang Tianshun to be so ruthless.
“President Zhang, isn’t that price a bit too harsh?” one shareholder said angrily.
Zhang Tianshun shook his head, “I’m sorry, but the money Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals can put out is really limited, 15 million is already the limit. How about this, I only want 51% of the shares; why would I need 60%?”
A few presidents sighed.
When they joined Anxu Pharmaceuticals, it was also for the sake of making money, and now, transferring their shares was about risk mitigation. To them, Anxu Pharmaceuticals was devoid of sentiment.
It was just a money-making machine!
Gu Xin alone felt differently; this was her company.
Zhang Tianshun had already got a bead on Gu Xin; she simply had no way or means to save Anxu now.
Drag it out?
Every day dragged on, Anxu’s value dropped, could she afford to wait?
Suddenly, Zhang Tianshun looked up, fixing his gaze on Gu Xin!
“President Gu! 30 million, and I take it all over, including your shares. If you’re willing, we can make the trade right now!”
Anxu, once glorious, had after six months of twists and turns, fallen from a peak valuation of 200 million to the current 30 million. Everyone couldn’t help but feel some regret.
But that was the nature of business.
The other shareholders didn’t care all that much, but to Gu Xin, this was her company, one her father had started and she had taken over…
An older shareholder added, “President Gu, if you’re willing to buy, my 20% share, I’m willing to transfer it to you for 6 million!”
The others also chimed in, “Right! President Gu, I’m willing to!”
Zhang Tianshun smiled; what use was their willingness?
Did Gu Xin have the money?
At this moment, Gu Xin took a deep breath.
“No need!”
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but heave a sigh; their hopes had vanished…
Where could they suddenly get that much money from?
However, just then, Gu Xin suddenly said, “21 million, all of your shares, I’ll take them over, each person for 7 million!”
The moment these words were spoken, everyone around was stunned!
