News of the major breakthrough in the research and development of the Z vaccine in Africa naturally reached Gao Yuan’s ears quickly...
"Oh, it worked again..."
Tang Yun twitched the corner of her mouth, and she was not surprised.
Not showing a strange disappointed expression like last time is already a good expression management...
Even key human medical breakthroughs such as Alzheimer's disease are not surprising. It is normal for a pig vaccine to perform so mediocre, right?
Gao Yuan's lackluster response to this technological breakthrough certainly doesn't mean she doesn't take it seriously.
On the contrary, she has already listed this pig vaccine technology as a recent development priority for Evergreen Biotechnology.
It's just that Gao Yuan is already somewhat immune to similar good news, so it's really not a "surprise".
No way, that guy's bragging seemed to come true in the end...
"Although there is insufficient sample data, a large-scale trial is needed to verify the effective protection rate of this technology.
However, since the success rate of the small-scale test is 100%, the data in the next stage will not be too bad.
It seems that we need to proceed with the next stage of commercial deployment in advance."
Gao Yuan has not forgotten the prediction that Meng Lang made when he gave her this technology.
Since all the boasts they boasted have come true, of course I can't take the warnings they gave me lightly...
"Director Gao, was the vaccine production line you purchased previously prepared for this technology?"
Jiang Wenming was of course very excited when he heard the news of the technological breakthrough, which means that the big ship of Evergreen Biotechnology will go further.
But what surprised him was Gao Yuan's preparation.
It was as if she had long expected that the company's technology would break through, and even the production line was prepared in advance.
This self-confidence is too much, right?
"That's right." Gao Yuan smiled ambiguously.
“Our company’s next stage of development strategy is to start with animal vaccines and transition to human vaccines.
And not only do we need to conduct scientific research in related fields, but we also need to expand our production lines and fully engage in the entire industry chain of R&D, production, and sales!"
From reading between the lines, Jiang Wenming could hear Gao Yuan's ambition.
This big cake made Jiang Wenming feel a little excited.
"Don't worry, Director Gao, as soon as the technology is implemented, our production line will be put into production immediately!"
However, Gao Yuan shook her head.
"Not enough! Even if this newly built production line can be put into production immediately, the maximum annual output is only 5 million doses of vaccine, which is far from enough."
"Uh... Director Gao, are you saying that you want to continue to expand production capacity?" Jiang Wenmin looked surprised.
"Yes, I hope that within half a year, our production can reach more than 100 million doses per year!"
"Hiss~"
Jiang Wenming and Tang Yun both took a breath of cold air at the same time.
100 million doses? More than that?!
Isn’t this appetite too big?
"This... Director Gao, after all, this is a new field we have just entered.
Now that the sales channels have not been opened up, it will take some time to open up the market." Jiang Wenming frowned.
"Yes, Director Gao, I also think it would be prudent to further expand production capacity after our products are put into the market and see the market response." Tang Yun also agreed.
"Haha!" Gao Yuan smiled and shook her head.
There are currently no reports related to African Z virus in China, and the general public is almost completely indifferent to this virus.
Therefore, Jiang Wenmin and Jiang Wenmin have not yet realized how significant this technology is.
Currently, Gao Yuan is the only person within the company who understands the complete technical details and development potential.
According to the news Professor Zheng brought back from there, there is already an intention to cooperate with them in the North Country, and they hope to apply for technology authorization from them, or even directly purchase products.
Relatively speaking, the profit that technology licensing can bring is of course far less than that of direct sales of products.
Vaccines are recognized around the world as a "profiteering industry" with gross profit margins generally as high as over 90%!
That is to say, if you sell a vaccine for 100 yuan, you will get 90 yuan in profit, which is a huge profit comparable to Moutai!
It is precisely because of this terrifying profit rate that "vaccines" are recognized as a shining pearl at the pinnacle of medical technology, attracting all the top pharmaceutical groups to flock to it...
Relatively speaking, although the gross profit margin of animal vaccines is not as exaggerated as that of human vaccines, it is well over 80%!
The key is that according to the technical expectations given by Meng Lang, this vaccine strain can be efficiently cultured in primary pig bone marrow cells.
The primary cells of a healthy piglet can prepare at least 200,000 doses of vaccine. As long as there is a production line, the conditions for large-scale production are fully met!
Gao Yuan made a rough estimate of the market. In the northern country alone, nearly 40 million pigs are slaughtered every year.
Not to mention, China is a major pig-raising country with an annual slaughter volume of nearly 700 million.
Coupled with the fact that Second Brother from all over the world has "suffered from the African Z virus for a long time", the market demand...
100 million doses, this is still a conservative plan that Gao Yuan did not dare to go too extreme!
"It will be too late until the market reacts. You must have confidence in the technology developed by Professor Zheng!"
Gao Yuan didn't want to explain anything to the two of them. After all, Meng Lang's prediction was not a secret that could be disclosed casually...
"That's it, Manager Jiang. You will be responsible for expanding production capacity as soon as possible. I will give you full autonomy, and the company's finance side will try its best to cooperate with you."
Seeing Gao Yuan's decision that she could not refuse, Jiang Wenming smiled bitterly.
"Okay Director Gao, I understand, but this production capacity cannot be expanded in a day or two.
Even if we want to directly acquire the existing production lines, there is no suitable seller for a while."
"The seller... really has one ready-made!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"Ah? Who is it?"
"Changchun Bio!"
"Well……"
Jiang Wenmin and Tang Yun were stunned when they heard this.
Changchun Biology and the others are naturally no strangers. After all, it can be said that their company was able to turn around from a desperate situation only by stepping on each other's scandals.
But... that's a listed company!
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Director Gao, you really dare to think...
"As far as I know, before the incident, Changchun Biotech's original vaccine production capacity was 50 million to 80 million doses per year.
Not long ago, the original production line was upgraded to expand production, increasing the annual output by 10 million.
As long as we can acquire the other party's production lines, our output can barely meet the requirements."
Although industry requirements are different, the production technologies for animal vaccines and human vaccines are actually from the same source.
In other words, Changchun Biotechnology's production line can be directly used to produce the pig vaccines Gao Yuan needs with a slight modification...
But... this is a question of whether the output can meet the requirements?
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Gao Yuan just smiled.
"Haha! What? You think it's impossible? I think you haven't paid close attention to Changchun Biology recently."
She pulled out a piece of information from the file next to her and pushed it over.
Jiang Wenmin took the document and read it with some confusion. The more he read, the more surprised he became.
According to the latest information collected from this information, Changchun Biotech has so far reached 31 consecutive limit-downs, setting a new record for the longest consecutive limit-down in A-shares.
The market value that originally exceeded 20 billion is now only 3.35 billion!
The tens of thousands of investors who bought this stock can be said to have lost nothing but their pants, and the stock market is already filled with mourners.
To make matters worse, 18 suspects, including Chairman Gao Fangjun, were submitted for approval, and the Food and Drug Administration issued a huge fine of up to 9.1 billion yuan!
