Coin Jackpot After Divorce

Humanly, I hate mouthfuls

―Minister, have you heard the news?

“Like what. Corona vaccine?”

– Exactly.

30 minutes before contacting Shin Kim.

Minister of Health and Welfare Shin Won-tae received a call from a domestic pharmaceutical company.

-Minister. Who would have known that a company that had never heard of Biolife would cause such a major incident.

“That’s right. It is impossible to commercialize it, and I think that passing the first or second clinical trial will be the only thing.”

―There is a high possibility of failure, but from our company’s point of view, we have to think about what if.

“what if?”

―What would happen if you passed the 3rd round and really produced a vaccine?

In Korea, the bio industry was in the limelight as a future food source.

A time when large corporations are entering the field of generic drugs and pouring trillions of dollars into building factories.

Biolife appeared in the face of fierce competition for survival from the standpoint of existing pharmaceutical companies.

“Biolife will emerge as an emerging powerhouse in the industry.”

– It won’t be that much. It could save hundreds of thousands of lives, and all countries would want a vaccine. More than 50,000 people have died from coronavirus in the US. price? No matter how much money is set, there will be overflowing countries that will bring money and buy it.

“Are you saying that a small research-oriented company will outgrow DK Bioscience?”

―That’s bio. Besides, with Kim Shin as the owner, there is no way that the investment money is insufficient.

Shin Won-tae, Minister of Health and Welfare, wanted to know how long he had to listen to the grumbling complaints of pharmaceutical companies, but that was not the case.

-Please step out of the government.

“What am I?”

―Biolife does not have a production facility. The government provides active support from the second clinical trial and conducts joint development. If you get even a small share of the vaccine, we have a good chance.

“The government wants to participate in vaccine development and, if successful, entrust production to Hersen.”

―Wouldn’t it be good for everyone if domestic companies cooperate to shorten the production schedule of vaccines as much as possible?

Helping Biolife and domestic pharmaceutical companies by releasing huge subsidies from the government.

If there was a just cause, a huge budget could be used.

“If you pass the 3rd clinical trial, it will be a good thing that everyone can laugh at.”

-That’s right.

“What if I don’t pass?”

―The Minister did his best. Can we accuse the members of Congress of spending their budgets in vain?

As Minister Shin Won-tae, he can expect solid rebates from pharmaceutical companies.

Biolife will not be able to refuse it because it can receive massive government support even though it does not know whether it will pass the future clinical trials or not.

At the same time, it was an opportunity to pursue personal ambitions.

If you actively support the development of a corona vaccine and make your name known to the public… … .

He can also aim for a position higher than prime minister.

* * *

―When will Shin Kim come to Korea?

“yes?”

―I hope the government will hold an official support ceremony tomorrow.

For some reason, the minister feels more urgent.

“I am in a position to invest, and there are people who have researched vaccines. The CEO of Bio Life is Dr. Lee Ho-yeon.”

―Of course there is. However, rather than Dr. Lee Ho-yeon, whose name is unknown to the public, it is better to have Kim Shin, who is well known in Korea, participate as a representative.

“mmm.”

―As the richest person in Korea, it will be an honorable job to contribute to the country and society. You will earn people’s respect. Our government will create such a place.

I was bothered by the fact that I had to go to Korea.

what is respect

Does the public’s perception greatly improve when they receive congratulations and support from the government?

Biolife’s investment and development process will soon be uploaded to YouTube.

I wanted the efforts of Dr. Lee Ho-yeon and the researchers to be fully recognized.

‘It looks like the political world wants to raise a spoon about the corona vaccine.’

I can guess the intention, but aren’t all governments like that?

If it goes well, raise a spoon, if it’s going to fail, help.

The moment I thought of accepting it as a benefit for Bio Life if I received national support.

―I will take responsibility and let Hersen produce Bio Life.

“Are you Hersen?”

―I have worked for a pharmaceutical company, so I know what kind of company Hersen is.

“I know.”

A large domestic pharmaceutical company with over 60 years of history.

Although it had little influence in the field of ophthalmology, it was a company with great capabilities in the field of medicine.

From a variety of specialty medicines to hangover cures and nutritional tonics, we have products available.

As a bonus, it was famous for giving doctors a lot of kickbacks.

―The government will actively connect you. If the vaccine passes clinical trials, Hersen can produce it right away.

“Well.”

It didn’t work out well in my head.

As long as there is no production facility, even if the clinical trial is successful, it will have to be entrusted to any company.

To be honest, I like the affiliates of conglomerates that recently completed factories more than Hersen.

―Costs for the 2nd and 3rd clinical trials. From tax cuts on development costs to final production. The government will provide unprecedented help, and researchers from government agencies will be dispatched to BioLife for joint development.

“Co-development?”

―Corona vaccine is a nationally important thing. Shouldn’t the government actively participate in joint development even in order to enhance the production and safety of vaccines?

“If it’s a joint development, we’ll have to share the company’s stake with the government.”

―It would be better for each other to give 10%. The government will pay more than that.

Selection of manufacturers, joint development.

It feels like it’s being put together somewhere.

It reminded me of Dr. Lee Ho-yeon’s hard work in a barren environment.

Before I invested, I did research while building a cup ramen tower at an officetel.

After the corona spread, tens of thousands of people die, and the number of infected people increases exponentially.

There were people who skipped meals and studied day and night.

It was not right to let them get caught up in money or political logic.

“This is not an offer I like.”

-Yes?

“Government support, collaboration with Hersen. I will reject all of them. If you need anything, we’ll take care of it.”

―You have not passed the second clinical trial, but are you thinking of rejecting the government’s favor and going the hard way?

“I don’t have a lot of social experience, but it’s rare that people who say it’s a favor actually do a favor.”

―No, this person!

“I plan to go all the way to develop a vaccine. If it fails, yes. I can’t help it if I can’t do it no matter how hard I work. I think this is a result that we have to accept since we started developing a vaccine.”

If you reject the proposal of the Minister of Health and Welfare, there will be many inconveniences.

That’s why I said it beforehand.

“Because I have a lot of money and my business activities are not tied up in Korea. If necessary, I can acquire American citizenship and transfer my entire Bio-Life to the United States.”

—… … .

“And don’t contact me from now on. I can upload the contents of the call to YouTube.”

I fed the Minister of Health and Welfare properly and hung up the phone right away.

and after 3 seconds.

‘ah… … Had an accident.’

Working in the pharmaceutical industry, I am well aware of how top-notch the Ministry of Health and Welfare is.

With deep regret, I looked to the side and saw Lee Jong-yeop.

How surprised Lee Jong-yeop, who had been a junior at work since his time at Arcor, must have been surprised to hear the phone call.

“Are you the Minister of Health and Welfare of Korea?”

“yes. Did I throw off my temper uncharacteristically?”

“Hyung-nim is originally a quiet and patient person.”

That’s right.

I was accustomed to being patient with quite a few things. By the way… … .

“But sometimes, when I get angry, I hold it in well and burst out, but no one can stop me when that happens. You turned it upside down once at the Nonhyeon-dong ophthalmology clinic.”

It’s been a long time since I remembered the incident at the Eye Clinic in Nonhyeon-dong, where Arkor was excited.

Cataract surgery.

Surgery related to the eyes is risky, so there were many cases where both eyes were not performed at the same time.

This is because there is a risk of surgery failure or fatal infection.

The best eye clinic in Nonhyeon-dong.

It was an ophthalmology department headed by a female doctor who advertised enormously on social media and even paid a referral fee when a patient was brought in.

I had both eyes operated at the same time in order to perform the factory-style surgery quickly.

During her surgery, she couldn’t properly adjust the pressure of the basic machine.

The cruel moment when an elderly patient’s eyeball was pulled out intact.

“Kyaaah!”

The female doctor couldn’t even respond to an emergency situation and let go of her hands and trembled.

I leave the operating room and lock myself in the director’s office.

“Director! Director! Come on out!”

Even when the nurse knocked on the door, it was just locked from the inside.

I was stunned to see it.

Although the patient’s blindness is almost confirmed, shouldn’t he still have to take post-treatment?

I hurriedly called and asked Director Park, who runs an eye hospital near Gangnam Station, for help.

“Director! This is an emergency.”

Director Park, who has a reputation for excellent hand skills at the ophthalmology conference, came and gave follow-up treatment.

Until then, I just thought that something terrible had happened.

Honestly, eye-related medical accidents are rare, but they can happen at any time.

I thought it would be best to reward the patient well and practice probation.

“yes? 20 million won as compensation?”

“Because it is. Our director is quite toxic. No matter how old the patient is, he lost both eyes, and they settle for 20 million won.”

“Did the patient accept it?”

“What can I do? How easy is the old country grandmother’s medical suit? As you can see, my son deliberately told me to go all the way to Gangnam for surgery. I should take the money you give me.”

When I heard the nurse’s story, I was really upset.

I didn’t even realize that I was really angry when I exceeded the limits of my patience.

I went straight to the director’s office, argued hard, and then agreed to an agreement of 50 million won, saying that I would report it to the media.

It wasn’t enough money for an old woman who had lost her sight.

However, if you are suing for a medical accident, the court did not award a large amount considering that you are an elderly person.

Doctors can submit all kinds of favorable data, and it was realistically unavoidable because they could be judged for less than 50 million won after dragging for several years in court.

Arcor, who belatedly received the report of the incident, was also in a frenzy.

“Chief Kim.”

“Yes. manager.”

“after… … You bought it this time and hit it right.”

Team leader Ahn smoked three cigarettes in a row and said,

“It’s like working for a pharmaceutical company. seen, heard You have to be able to forget in moderation.”

“… … .”

“If a pharmaceutical company employee goes around exposing a doctor’s mistake, would you say that hospitals are good because it’s uncomfortable?”

“sorry.”

I was forced to quit the company.

I wanted to stick with my lifelong job, but I still thought I had done something worth getting a new job for.

“Humanly, I did well.”

“Yes?”

“If you close your eyes to a doctor doing such a thing, even if you make a living as a pharmaceutical company employee, you will fail as a human being. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure this doesn’t hurt you anyway.”

Even on the ophthalmology side, it was difficult if rumors spread.

Team leader Ahn was able to buy a drink for the professor at the university hospital based on the doctor’s personal connections, and moderately smooth things over with nice words.
