Back To The Age Of The '80s

Two days later, Li Zheng got the molecular formula of the Indian side.

The Indian product and Li Zheng's paaminesatin contain the same active ingredients, but the inactive ingredients are slightly different.Xu Mingsheng called it "paminoxadin mixed with water".

"India's drug testing is relatively loose, and I believe their drugs will be on the market earlier than Baminoxatin." Xu Mingsheng has a topic of drug-resistant strains at hand, because the speech of the National Medical College of Singapore at the Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference last time made He has new inspiration.No, Mingming is not young, but he still stays in the laboratory all day and all night.

"So what. It is impossible for large global pharmaceutical companies to cooperate with Indian pharmaceutical companies. Their drug sales channels are too narrow, and may even be limited to domestic and a few third-world countries. Teacher, have you heard a sentence? Channels are king."

Channels are king.

The 80s is not like the 21st century. Internet retailing has not yet appeared, and pharmaceutical companies and their distributors control the global drug supply channels.They will not agree to imitation drugs in India imposing their ready-made cheese.

Xu Mingsheng took a deep look at Li Zheng, and the more he got in touch with him, the more frightening this young man became.There are some things that even he, an old man who has lived for decades, can't see clearly, but in Li Zheng's eyes, it is clear.

More wisdom than monsters, this word suddenly popped up in Xu Mingsheng's mind.

He hadn't left the laboratory for nearly a week. When Li Zheng walked out of the laboratory, he was still a little uncomfortable. The sun shone on his face, giving people an extremely dazzling feeling. He blocked it with his hand, and before he recovered, he heard a The sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

"Oh! It hurts me!" David exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Li Zheng showed a helpless expression on his slightly pale face, "Why do you look like a ghost..." He was wearing a neat suit and tie, but he tied the tie loosely, like a pink rope hanging around his neck, The gray suit trousers were wrinkled at the knees, which was really not beautiful.

David patted his trouser legs and stood up from the ground, "Li, you have been in the laboratory for eight days!"

In fact, David has been to Xiangjiang University several times, but every time he came, Li Zheng happened to be in the laboratory.He waited from morning to night, and ran into that annoying Daniel several times in the middle, but he never saw Li Zheng.

According to reliable sources, the speed of generic drugs in India is very fast, and it has entered the stage of clinical trials for infants and young children in just one and a half months, which makes David unable to sit still.He has been in Xiangjiang University for two days, and he lives in the guest house of Xiangjiang University. Every morning, he goes to the entrance of the laboratory as a statue and stands until night.

A tall and handsome foreign friend waited at the door of the laboratory every day, and caused quite a commotion in the campus of Xiangjiang University.

However, Emperor Tian paid off, he finally waited for his little genius.

"Oh? It's been so long?" I don't know the year in the mountains. This is a word in the ancient Chinese mythology to describe the cultivation of gods. When it comes to Li Zheng, it means "I don't know the day and night in the laboratory".

"But it was just right when you came out." David moved his legs that were slightly numb due to inactivity for a long time, and smiled smugly.

Because Daniel just left an hour ago.Although he kept people behind before he left, the weight of the subordinates is naturally not the same as that of David, the real executive vice president of Roche Asia.

Li Zheng glanced at the Pfizer employee who was forced to speak by several Roche employees, and couldn't help laughing.

"Please treat me to a meal, just right, I'm a little hungry." He said.

David was overjoyed, "My pleasure. Do you like Western food or Chinese food, or I recently tried Malaysian food, which tastes very strange."

The two talked and walked towards the school gate. When passing the school gate, Li Zheng raised his eyes and saw that He Zhongming was arguing with a middle-aged man, and he seemed a little agitated.

In Li Zheng's impression, He Zhongming is a person who cherishes feathers very much.Shouting at the school gate and attracting the constant glances of passers-by students is not something he would do.

And that middle-aged man...

Li Zheng's eyes narrowed, as if he had a kind face.

"Li, someone you know?" David followed Li Zheng's gaze and saw He Zhongming's distorted face due to excitement.

"I know it, but I'm not familiar with it." Li Zheng glanced lightly, then turned his head back.

The two sat down at a Cantonese restaurant not far from the school entrance. This restaurant has a small storefront, and the boss and the proprietress are both Cantonese. It is a typical husband-and-wife restaurant.

There were no boxes in the shop, so Li Zheng chose a seat by the window.

"Li, you are really approachable." David has come into contact with many scholars, most of whom are very particular about details, and this kind of small shop will not usually come in.

Li Zheng laughed, "That's because they are old and pay attention to health preservation. I am young and can eat anything." Some of the seniors he came into contact with in his previous life were also very particular about food. It doesn't matter if you don't pay attention.

David has a good acceptance of the dining table culture of Huaguo, and he went straight to the topic with two chopsticks down.

"Li, I think you have also guessed the reason why I came to you. Are you interested in cooperating with Roche?"

Li Zheng paused with his chopsticks, "The market forecast for Baminoxatin is not optimistic, and India already has generic drugs, and some of the countries around him with high incidence of cryocytemia will be covered by the sales of generic drugs. To be honest, if the price is not If it's higher, the palaminesatin won't be very profitable."

Li Zheng put down his chopsticks and sat up slightly, "But if the price is too high, it will not meet my original intention."

David shrugged, "So the price I will give will not be very high, but you know, Roche is not short of money."

Yes, Roche is not short of money, what it lacks is medicine, original medicine.

Due to the particularity of the pharmaceutical industry, the market has always been in short supply. Pharmaceutical giants such as Pfizer, Novartis, Merck, and Roche have similar drug sales channels and production line scales. The only obvious difference is drug research and development capabilities.

A new drug is not only a market and profit for these pharmaceutical giants, but also a resource and competitiveness.Moreover, these pharmaceutical companies are labeled as anti-humanitarian by those associations almost every now and then, and they donate tens of millions of charitable funds every year to maintain their corporate image.

What if you use the money to buy an original drug?David submitted the proposal a week ago.Mr. Robert personally called his office and repeatedly urged him to win the patent right of pamidoxatin!

If you donate tens of millions, it will only be a few pages of media coverage, not necessarily the headlines on the front page.But an original medicine!An original drug for special diseases!If Roche successfully wins the patent right and sells it at a low price in the name of charity, then every time frozen blood disease is mentioned, Roche's charity will be mentioned. This is simply a lucrative business.

As for profits.The biggest cost of drugs, especially Western medicines, is drug research and development.Western medicine is actually composed of chemical compounds, and the production cost is really not high.There have always been rumors that the drug costs only a few cents, but it costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars to sell to patients.If we only talk about the cost of drug materials, this sentence is not an exaggeration.

Therefore, although the profit of paaminesatin is low, it is still no problem to preserve capital.

Li Zheng put a piece of beef into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and said after a while, "Tell me about your plan."

David was overjoyed. He was about to speak when the store door was pushed open and Daniel strode in.

He probably trotted all the way here, and his breath was still a little disordered. With a reserved and polite smile on Daniel's face, he slowly calmed down and walked towards Li Zheng's table.

Most of the customers in the small shop were students and nearby office workers. They seemed a little excited to see two handsome foreign friends in a row, and many tables let out low exclamations.

"Mr. Li Zheng, I finally saw you. I just went back in a hurry because of business in the company. I didn't expect to miss you." Daniel moved a chair by himself and sat down next to David.

David pulled out his mouth with a half-smile, "Mr. Watson is really well-informed. You came over as soon as we sat down."

Daniel took out a handkerchief and wiped the glass, "Mr. David, you are welcome. If the Roche employees were not so enthusiastic, I believe I would have arrived earlier."

Li Zheng touched his nose, and he raised his hand, "Boss, add another pair of chopsticks."

With Pfizer crossing the line, the two parties have once again formed a competitive situation, which is beneficial to Li Zheng, but Li Zheng does not intend to sit on the ground and raise the price this time.

He leaned back slightly, "Roche and Pfizer are both top-ranked pharmaceutical companies in the world. As I said at the Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference, all the patent fees of my pamphamine this time will be donated to Li Zheng's research on special diseases. Foundation. Therefore, the emergence of palaminesatin is to cure diseases and bring hope to those children who are poor and suffering from diseases.”

Li Zheng's words made both David and Daniel serious. They put down the chopsticks in their hands, and most of the smell of gunpowder and smoke between them dissipated.

"Li, don't worry. The price of pamidoxadin will never be high. Roche is a company with a sense of social responsibility." David assured Roche at the same time.

"Mr. Li Zheng, Pfizer has won the Outstanding Enterprise Award for the Most Social Responsibility in the United States for three consecutive years. From 1980 to 1982, Pfizer successively launched the Siri Charity Drug Donation Project and the Cardoine Charity Drug Donation Project. , mobilized more than 500 million US dollars in cash and relief supplies at the first time. Pfizer is willing to join you in this grand event." Daniel said beautifully.

Li Zheng coughed dryly, glanced at David's livid face from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help laughing.It seems that against Daniel, David is always deflated.

Li Zheng put his hands on the table, glanced at the two of them, and said: "My request is very simple, first, the price is within the range acceptable to the people of the third world countries, and second, the price of Paminoxatin Further publicity will carry the name of Li Zheng’s laboratory”

After Li Zheng's words fell, David and Daniel were stunned. Li Zheng's conditions were not too harsh.The first condition is that Roche and Pfizer did not expect to make too much profit from this special disease drug, Baminoxatin.As for the second condition... Daniel's mouth could not help but form a straight line.

This condition sounds easy, but it is not so easy to do.There must be a hurdle in Pfizer's headquarters.

If it is an internationally renowned laboratory such as Cold Spring Harbor, it is okay to make this request, but the current Li Zheng laboratory is not well-known. Presumably the gap is still too large. There was a saying in ancient China that "hurt Zhongyong". Who can guarantee that Li Zheng will be the next Zhongyong?

"Mr. Li Zheng, I have to go back and discuss your request with the headquarters."

"Li, I promise!"

David and Daniel spoke at the same time, and Daniel looked at David Andorio who was sitting next to him almost in astonishment.It was written brightly in his eyes, are you crazy? !
