King Louis XIV, Biological Weapons




When King Louis XIV was offered biological weapons by an Italian chemist, he refused to buy it and paid the chemist an annual salary never to sell it to anyone else.

An Italian Chemist once came to Louis XIV with plans for the first bacteriological weapon which would give him the power to use an infectious biological agent to destroy entire towns without deploying a single army, buying a single gun, or even moving a single finger.

Louis XIV refused instantly, and never used it against any European country. He guaranteed the scientist the highest possible amount anyone would be willing to pay, to keep his deadly discovery a secret.

But like the very bacteria or fungi it employs, the news of biological warfare cannot be contained, and was eventually exposed and spread across the lands.

WHY IS THERE NO MERCURY DRUG IN SM MALLS? HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED?


Henry Sy, Sr. (born December 25, 1924) is a Chinese Filipino businessman with interests in retailing, real estate, hospitality, banking, mining, education including healthcare services. He pioneered the establishment of SM Malls, anchored by Shoemart Department Store and Supermarket earning him the title; the Philippines’ Retail King. He is the chairman of SM Prime Holdings, Inc., the holding corporation for all his business interests in his vast business empire. In 2011, Forbes Magazine listed him as the no. 1 billionaire in the Philippines.


Have you ever wondered why there is no Mercury Drug in SM Malls here in Philippines? well… here’s the story…
Mr. Sy was a very ambitious man. He wanted to get rich more than 2 decades ago. He tried many businesses to get enough income but failed. After trying so hard to make both ends meet; he finally have earned enough money to start a small business.

Something crossed to his mind. He will build a small shoe store. He thought how could he get some customers.

An idea popped out.

He noticed that Mercury Drug, which is big drug store and been to the business for many years, has many loyal customers coming to them. He approached the owner and asked if he can rent and place his small shoe store there even with a very small portion. He was not allowed and got embarrassed even though he asked politely.
Mr. Sy then promised to himself that Mercury Drug will never step in his life when he gets rich. So in 1958, Mr. Sy established his shoe store in Quiapo, Manila, which became SM Quiapo, the first SM Mall, in November 1972.

Now, Mr. Sy is the richest man in the Philippines because of his own will and determination, gaining $5 billion in 2010, amid the global financial crisis. He is also the owner of Chinabank and operator of BDO. Aside from his numerous malls, supermalls and supermarkets in the Philippines, he also owns 6 SM Malls in Mainland China, and 1 SM Mall in Guam.

Now he never lets a single Mercury Drug do business in any of his SM malls. Instead he franchised Watson’s from Hong Kong which became the substitute for Mercury Drug.

*** Another Story: The real story was, Mr. Sy and the owner of Mercury Drug is good friends, Sy was a 'sapatero' in front of the Mercury Drug store (he actually got permission from the owner to do that there). Then one day, Mr. Sy's mother got sick and since they were poor and got no money to pay for the hospital bills, he tried asking the owner of mercury drug, to lend him some money. But the mercury drug owner refused to lend him so his mother died. Ever since that day, Mr. Sy swore to himself that once he got rich, he'll never allow such selfish company be related to him. That's why he there's no Mercury Drug in SM
