Chapter 34 The views of pharmaceutical giants
Magic City, Hengrui Group.
In the chairman's office, Sun Piao was lying on the boss's chair, scrolling through his phone and browsing the latest news on the Internet.
As a major domestic pharmaceutical company, Sun Piao naturally pays attention to the trends of the domestic pharmaceutical industry and adjusts the company's strategic direction at any time.
However, Sun Piao had just clicked on the hot search for scarves, and a piece of news on the list quickly caught Sun Piao's attention.
A 500-bottle anti-cancer drug, is it real or fake?
500 a bottle?
Sun Piao raised his eyebrows and suddenly became interested.
As the chairman of a pharmaceutical company, he is naturally very familiar with this kind of anti-cancer and anti-tumor drugs. Because of this, he knows how high the normal price of such drugs is.
A bottle of anti-cancer drugs priced at RMB 500 is a bargain among all medicines.
Sun Piao didn't think much, he just clicked in.
The first thing that caught Sun Piao's eyes was Liang Gao's head.
After seeing Liang Gao's profile picture and identity, Sun Piao couldn't help but frown. He knew Liang Gao.
He is said to be a medical science popularization writer, but in fact, he is paid to do things in the name of medical science popularization and academic questioning, and specializes in smearing and attacking others.
Because of the extremely sharp words and bluffing descriptions in his articles, he has attracted a large number of fans on the scarf.
Without exception, these fans basically believe whatever Liang Gao says and have absolutely no ability to think on their own.
The reason why Sun Piao knew Liang Gao was because Liang Gao once wrote an article attacking Hengrui Medicine.
Although this matter was litigated for a long time, the final result was just a hasty settlement.
Therefore, Sun Piao knew what the content of Liang Gao's article was like without even thinking about it.
However, Sun Piao continued to scroll down and began to browse Liang Gao's article.
His purpose in reading this article was not to be interested in Liang Gao, but to be interested in the object of Liang Gao's slander in this article, which was the 500-bottle anti-cancer drug.
After all, even as the chairman of a pharmaceutical company, this was the first time he had seen anti-cancer drugs at such a bargain price.
Soon, Sun Piao saw the name and efficacy of this anti-cancer drug from the article.
Beishuke, a treatment drug for chronic myelogenous leukemia!
When he saw the words chronic myelogenous leukemia, Sun Piao couldn't help but sucked in a breath of air-conditioning, exacerbating the global greenhouse effect.
Compared to outsiders, as a person in the pharmaceutical industry, he knows the ropes of pharmaceutical research and development better than anyone else.
Drugs are something with huge initial R\u0026D costs and extremely high technical thresholds. In order to recover the initial R\u0026D costs, the drug is destined to have a low price from the beginning.
What's more, this is a drug for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia.
This is no longer a cabbage price. Compared to a bottle of Gleevec worth 40,000 yuan, the price of Bai Shuke is simply a charity.
Because of this low price, it is unknown whether the other party can recover the research and development costs.
This is not charity, this is what you are doing!
However, what Sun Piao didn't know was that when Lu Liang developed Bai Shuke, the cost was not high. Except for the cost of the third phase clinical trial, the other costs were basically zero and can be ignored. That kind of thing.
Therefore, Bai Shuke's costs were recovered early.
Sun Piao originally thought that Bai Shuke's price was enough to shock him, until he scrolled down and saw the owner of the drug patent.
Ben. Undergraduate? !
Sun Piao almost choked on her own saliva.
His eyes were as wide as lanterns, his expression full of shock and surprise.
Did an undergraduate come up with this thing?
When did the undergraduates at Pharmaceutical University become so outrageous?
Sun Piao felt that his CPU was about to be burned out.
You know, their Hengrui company has its own dedicated research team, and the people in it are basically Ph.D.s. These people can't guarantee that they will be able to screen out drug molecules with the same effect, but now an undergraduate has done it. .
From Sun Piao's point of view, it was simply outrageous that his mother would open the door for him. It was extremely outrageous.
I didn’t dare to write like this in One Thousand and One Nights.
After coming back to his senses, Sun Piao's first reaction was, was there really something wrong with the medicine?
After thinking for a moment, Sun Piao immediately called Zhao Rui, the leader of the research team.
Zhao Rui quickly rushed to Sun Piao's office: Mr. Sun, do you have anything to do with me?
Sun Piao asked: Zhao Bo, do you know about the new drugs on the market for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia?
Zhao Rui thought for a while: Mr. Sun, are you talking about the Bai Shuke that only costs 500 a bottle?
Sun Piao nodded: Is it really effective in treating chronic myelogenous leukemia?
Zhao Rui replied: We have verified the drug and it does have a therapeutic effect on chronic myelogenous leukemia.
After listening to Zhao Rui's answer, Sun Piao frowned and thought for a moment: Zhao Bo, what do you think of this article on the Internet?
Zhao Rui glanced at the article Sun Piao was talking about. He had already seen this article on the Internet before.
Zhao Rui smiled bitterly: Mr. Sun, to be honest, there are currently no experimental papers on this drug, so I can't make a comment for the time being.
Sun Piao nodded. Zhao Rui's answer was quite pertinent. Although there was disbelief in Zhao Rui's tone, at least Zhao Rui did not base his evaluation on his own subjective guesses.
Sun Piao continued to ask: Then what do you think of this undergraduate?
Zhao Rui pondered for a moment: If the drug molecules were really selected by that undergraduate, then it can only be said that that undergraduate has exceeded my understanding.
After all, this is not research that an undergraduate can do. Even master's students can't do it. Only at the doctoral level can they get a clue.
After listening to Zhao Rui's evaluation of Lu Liang, Sun Piao seemed to have made some judgment: Zhao Bo, do you think if we send an invitation to this undergraduate, will he come to our company?
Zhao Rui was a little surprised by Sun Piao's words, but he quickly understood what Sun Piao meant. No matter whether the other party was true or false, he should dig the person over first.
If the other person is not really talented and learned, he will soon be exposed at work, and then he can be eliminated.
If the other party is really capable, then they will make a lot of money.
Zhao Rui pondered for a while: But if the other party is really capable, it is probably not our turn to poach people.
Major schools are vying for this kind of talent to stay in school and engage in academic work, and it is not the turn of companies like them to poach people.
Sun Piao shrugged indifferently: It's just an offer. If you come, we will make money. If you don't come, we won't lose anything, right?
Of course, Sun Piao had another purpose in doing this.
That is to make Liang Gao disgusted by the way.
