Chapter 625? Patent fees in exchange for shares

Chen Xia learned about it in his previous life. When he went to Mayo to study, he not only had to consider your diploma, qualifications, and project results.

You also need to examine your English level, clinical level, thinking ability and other aspects.

You even asked to go to the Mold Country for an interview

The key point is that you must register and pay some medical intermediary companies, otherwise you will almost never apply for further study places.

And Mayo also needs to consider it comprehensively. A department has limited quotas for further study, not how many people come to you and collect as much as they come to.

Not only are the departments limited to quotas, but the medical direction you are studying and focusing on is also limited.

For example, if you are engaged in the research on intestinal inflammation in the digestive system, they only have two further studies a year, and doctors around the world will compete.

Is the devil's difficulty good?

Now Chen Xia has asked for 40 places in one breath and 20 places in a hospital, which is a bit like a big talk.

Before his rebirth, if there were 20 places to go to Mayo for further study in a year, the director would not be excited to run all the hospital naked.

In Chen Xia's opinion, these 40 places are already a bit boastful, but in Child Steve's eyes,

"That's it?"

Mayo Clinic, or Mayo Medical Center, has 30,000 employees. Before Chen Xia was reborn, the number of employees reached 60,000, with an annual revenue of nearly $80 billion.

Such a giant, let alone 40 advanced doctors, even 400 people's houses will be a little bit.

Child Steve said with a smile, "As vice chairman, I can give you your conditions now, yes."

This is like bargaining when buying something. The boss says 800, and you say 80, and the boss doesn’t want to say: “Take it away.”

Chen Xia wanted to slap himself a few times.

As expected, the situation is still too small. Why did I ask for 40 places? Even if the two hospitals under my name cannot be used up, it would be nice to send several places to other domestic hospitals.

Child Steve didn't understand why Chen Xia looked annoyed. Instead, he felt that Dean Chen was very easy to talk to. He was ready for heavy bleeding. He actually made such a small request.

Honest man.

Chen Xia adjusted his mood and continued: "The new drug we launched this time is hopeful that the clinical experiments can be placed in the clinical department of Mayo Clinic."

As long as you do clinical experiments at Mayo and get recognized by Mayo, other hospitals in the world will not have any doubts at all. This is more cost-effective and authoritative than spending a lot of money to advertise.

Child Steve smiled and said softly: "If you can license the patent to Pfizer, then nothing is a problem."

Well, the lobbyist PR for drug patents has begun.

The first time I cooperated with Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, GlaxoSmithKline, and Takeda Pharmaceuticals.

At present, patent fees have reached the Cayman Islands account. According to my sister-in-law's feedback, it has been about 400 million US dollars in total.

Of course, as sales gradually increase in the next few years, patent fees will only increase, and this is only the patent of 3 drugs.

The second cooperation was to jointly build a pharmaceutical company specializing in the production of sildenafil with GlaxoSmithKline. This area has not yet produced any production benefits because sales have just begun.

Sildenafil is definitely a gold mine, and anyway, sales of several billion US dollars a year will be absolutely certain.

Although Pumpkin Vine has acquired shares and can distribute dividends every year, it actually makes a wholesale price, and the subsequent retail process has nothing to do with them.

GlaxoSmithKline can make a profit in pharmaceutical companies, and sell them out and make another profit. This is profit from both ends, and this is the big deal.

Despite this, according to Chen Xia's estimate, after sales are on track, the annual dividend will be at least ten or two billion US dollars, which is more than the patent fee.

There is too much money and there are many problems. What do international giants represent? Capital.

Capital has always been greedy and cheating people. After cheating the enemy, he cheated his own people, Chen Xia can already imagine the possible false accounting problems in the "Tsuen Wan Pharmaceutical Factory".

At least GlaxoSmithKline will do everything possible to pay less dividends, which is certain.

In this way, the honeymoon period of the two companies' cooperation will be easily broken, and it is easy to turn against each other in court for the sake of dividends.

This is too common in later generations.

Not to mention friends, even if relatives work together to do business, they will end up in a bloody battle.

So Chen Xia and Chen Shuqin regretted it afterwards and decided that their future cooperation should focus on charging patent fees.

If a small shrimp like Pumpkin Vine Company wants to cooperate with these capital giants, it is really overestimating one's own ability and seeking death on its own.

Besides, if you invent a drug, you will cooperate with other pharmaceutical companies to build a factory. How can you manage it then? You are just a small shareholder, and I am afraid that the major shareholder will suffer.

Chen Xia looked at Child Steve with a smile,

"Pfizer has always been very happy to cooperate with us, but I just received a quote from a pharmaceutical company in Melly. The patent fee they gave me was 8%. I don't know Pfizer..."

Child Steve was shocked and unexpectedly someone would take action first. This was a very important information.

He was just a puppet of capital and had no decision-making power, so the secretary hurriedly called Marcia, the representative of Pfizer.

Of course, Marcia was waiting for news from Chen Xia, and Child Steve's conversation today was also instructed by her.

"8%? Chen, I think this number seems to be a bit high. You should know that the annualized rate of fund management on Wall Street will only exceed 7%.

Marcia is the vice president of Pfizer, and she agreed to the omeprazole patent license.

Chen Xia poured two cups of tea for them himself:

"Ms. Marcia, there is actually no secret in this world. According to industry estimates, the profits of omeprazole and clarithromycin are all exceeded 75%, right?"

Marcia smiled without saying a word, pretending to drink tea.

"You earn 75 yuan for sales of 100 yuan, but I only earn 5 yuan. Actually, this is not much, right, because I bear all the R&D costs. Everyone is a pharmaceutical company, you must know how huge the R&D costs are."

Do you talk to capitalists about conscience? Isn’t this a pianist? People want you to charge 0.5% patent fee. It is absolutely impossible to take the initiative to pity you and add some patent fee to you.

So the two sides kept bargaining. That night, Chen Shuqin also came, and later representatives from GlaxoSmithKline and Takeda Pharmaceutical also participated.

Finally, the four parties reached an agreement, and the patent fee increased by one point, 6%.
