Chapter 181 It’s up to you(1/2)
Pharmaceuticals are similar to a country's research and development of weapons. You have to keep investing money in it. Even if you haven't fought a war for decades, the research and development expenses not only cannot be reduced, but also increase year by year.
Because once this thing falls behind a little bit, the world boss may suddenly become someone in the world class.
For example, cannons originally had similar firing ranges, but this one is talking about real cannons, not lollipops.
As a result, because others invested money in research and development, they were one kilometer farther than you. Then the market for this cannon that could shoot dozens of kilometers or hundreds of kilometers suddenly disappeared. When there was a real war, others could shoot you, but you couldn't shoot others.
, just because of this kilometer distance.
The same is true for pharmaceuticals. Drugs, especially the current drug research and development for several chronic diseases, are similar to the world's weapons market. The number of new patients around the world is like a battlefield for several pharmaceutical companies.
Especially emerging countries are the battlefield for these pharmaceutical companies. Unfortunately, in the insulin market, China originally had a chance to launch a big project, but later, I don’t know why, it was never able to compete with Europe and the United States.
Bingjin became a contract processing factory.
It has been completely reduced to the same level as Third Brother. Many people think that their own pharmaceutical industry is very powerful. Other manufacturing industries may be able to brag about it, but Huaguo Pharmaceutical cannot stand up and speak loudly.
Many people look at medical care with an admiring look. In fact, there is no difference between medical care and other industries. There is no difference between hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and restaurants.
This thing is about survival first, and then the so-called manifestation of morality.
For example, a pharmaceutical company in Jinmao made painkillers look like white flour. What can you say about it?
Therefore, when Chasu Hospital released the insulin data at the press conference, the CEOs of several of the world's top pharmaceutical companies were not shocked, but almost exploded.
Although the revenue from chronic disease drugs is not the company's highest, and a single drug does not sell for tens or even millions, and it is not the most profitable, it is the most stable.
The number of new patients every year is like its leek field, extremely stable. It’s like a middle-aged man who attracts bees and butterflies outside, but he will never give up on the yellow-faced woman in his family, because this woman can give him free treatment.
Children, serve the old man for free, serve him.
Therefore, after major pharmaceutical companies saw this data, they immediately strongly condemned Pfizer's unethical behavior.
It is not just a verbal condemnation, but a word of condemnation as quickly as possible through various media and social software.
The tone was even harsher than China's diplomatic speeches, and it felt as if they were particularly righteous.
The next step was to quickly contact Chasu Hospital.
Moreover, their regional heads in China seemed to have been collectively kidnapped and flew to Chasu as soon as possible. Even Pfizer's regional president in China also flew to Chasu as soon as possible.
"Zhang Yuan, what should I do?"
Ms. Zeng looked at Zhang Fan with a smile on her face. Her smile came from the bottom of her heart and she was definitely not pretending to cater to Zhang Fan.
In the past, none of these regional presidents were tough. When several regional presidents called her last night, their tone was gentle and their attitude was humble.
A year ago, she didn't even dare to think about it.
"Well, don't worry, just focus on your reception and be careful not to show any bias. We will treat everyone equally."
"Okay, the same goes for Pfizer? If we don't look for a target to be attacked, they will think that we are not strong enough. If it hurts, they will be more gentle."
Ms. Zeng put her hands in front of her knees, looking particularly ladylike.
But if you say it out loud, it is indeed blatantly violent.
Zhang Fan thought about it, not that he was afraid of Pfizer, but that if he targeted Pfizer, would his income be less?
"If you don't target it, you should target it. But when negotiating, you should still sell what you should sell. After all, Pfizer's market share is still very high."
Zhang Fan only worries about how much he can get. As for the rest, what is the market and what is the structure of pharmaceutical companies. These are not things Zhang Fan can worry about.
Currently, the only medicines available at Chasu Hospital are tuberculosis and antiemetic drugs. Tuberculosis is often sold half-priced and half given away because of some friendly factors.
As for antiemetics, they are not a necessity. As for HPV, which cooperates with Shining, there is no power at all.
This is the power of primary medicine.
Imitation products always lack some confidence.
As for the matter of relying on domestic pharmaceuticals to create a sky, Zhang Fan dare not even think about it.
Sometimes, you can’t even say anything about Chinese medicine.
For example, after the release of insulin this time and the data came out, major pharmaceutical companies went crazy and came to Zhang Fan with money.
Domestic pharmaceutical companies, however, are not slow in their actions.
But Nima just has the feeling that Zhang Fan is a fool.
I don't know what they were thinking, so they contacted the local government and arranged for cadres at the same level as Zhang Fan to come to discuss it!
I am used to doing things with nothing, so I always feel that after coming here, I can win over Zhang Fan by giving Zhang Fan some personal benefits, or promising some other positions.
It's a pity that Zhang Fan's current position is the same as Ouyang's.
Of course, Zhang Fan has become more mellow now and will not get angry at domestic pharmaceutical representatives. Didn't you arrange equal cadres?
No problem, we will ask Mr. Cha Su to attend the meeting, take you to visit, and take you to investigate. As for the rest, please talk to our Cha Su government.
In this regard, the Chasu government is quite cooperative. Although they also know that talking about it is useless, but if they can help the Chasu Hospital, they will definitely help the Chasu Hospital.
After all, this Chasu Hospital is like Bayi who got rich. My distant cousins all know that Chasu Hospital does not eat leeks.
Zhang Fan is really busy these days.
The heads of major laboratories have been calling Zhang Fan like hotlines these days.
Everyone hopes to participate in the next experiment.
In fact, Zhang Fan knew that the research and development of this drug could be left to domestic laboratories, but the production still required cooperation with large pharmaceutical companies.
After all, there is a difference between laboratory synthesis and large-scale mass production.
"No wonder Zhang Yuan looks down on our department. For such important research, Zhang Yuan has no use for our department. Comrades, be aware of your shame and be brave!"
The director of endocrinology almost cried, and other departments in the hospital were all laughing and joking. But the director of endocrinology has been as uneasy as foreign pharmaceutical companies these days.
She had never heard of such a major scientific research project. Is Zhang Yuan going to change the director?
Looking at the group of ladies in the department, she sometimes felt that she was so wronged.
In the conference room, the diplomatic officers were each more serious than the other, but there was still a trace of joy in the corners of their eyes.
Before the meeting, the leader of the team had given clear instructions: This time, the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people are on our side. Not only must we talk with momentum, but we must also achieve Zhang Yuan's goals.
Although Zhang Fan was also present at the negotiation meeting, just before the meeting started, Zhang Fan, as the host, said a few polite words, which probably meant that everyone should eat well, drink well, and drink well.
It's not that Zhang Fan doesn't want to say more, because not only Ms. Zeng, but even Ren Li has implicitly stated that Zhang Yuan should not talk too much in this kind of negotiation, because talking too much will easily reveal his bottom line.
Zhang Fan was also helpless. Wasn't it just that the sales of antiemetic drugs were not very good at the beginning? Couldn't I still make progress?
Although it is helpless, everyone who works in the medical field knows that professional things should be done by professionals. It is not just because you are a leader that you can interrupt.
At the negotiation meeting, there were actually quite a lot of negotiators on the Chinese side.
Several pharmaceutical companies are like eggplants beaten by frost, they really compromise.
Will they join forces to fight against the tea hospital?
This possibility is almost impossible.
For example, if they have medicines, they may unite to raise the price. If China is not willing, they may unite.
As for this Chinese state-owned drug, what they now hope is that it is best for other companies to be eliminated and only theirs will be left.
Once you have this idea, it's like brothers fighting against me. If we join forces and don't undermine each other, it already shows professionalism.
"Either give me equipment or give me money."
Anyway, the main idea is these two. If you can’t do either of these two, just go home and sleep!
Pfizer's negotiations are separate.
Since you did it in the first place, don't blame Zhang Fan for being evil now.
He doesn’t even need any money, but the president of Pfizer’s China region is sweating profusely.
Not nervous, but fearful.
Because Zhang Fan made it clear that he doesn’t want money.
It's easy to ask for money, but I'm afraid Zhang Heizi won't want the money.
I couldn't even open my mouth to speak the words I had prepared.
"These equipment are not allowed to be sold to China!"
"Then when you sent the spies, didn't you think that Golden Retriever agreed with you to send spies to Chasu Hospital?"
In the small conference room, Ms. Zeng was like a queen, all she had to do was step on the other person's fleshy face with her leather shoes.
"I need to ask for permission!"
Ms. Zeng raised her chin indifferently.
Even if one party is strong in the negotiation, it cannot be said.
But we still talked for a whole week.
It was so frustrating that sometimes Zhang Fan wanted to make a decision for them. It was just a matter of a few dollars, and it was not grand at all to push it over and over again.
Just when Zhang Fan was signing contracts with major pharmaceutical companies, he didn't know who was attacking Chasu Hospital on the Internet.
