Kyoto Huakang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.!

Located in the Economic Development Zone southeast of Kyoto, the factory covers an area of ​​more than 100,000 square meters and has nearly 5,000 employees!

Having such a large factory in a place where land is at a premium in Kyoto is enough to illustrate the strength of Huakang Pharmaceutical Company!

The entire factory is in the right direction, with six-story U-shaped factory buildings connected to the south, west, and north!

In an inconspicuous corner to the east of the factory, there is a two-story white house, which covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. But it consumes all the profits of the entire factory every year!

It is Huakang Pharmaceutical Company, which established a laboratory to develop anti-cancer drugs three years ago!

The laboratory has a lot of medical equipment, all of which are imported from abroad and are of great value!

There are a total of 11 medical research and development technicians in the laboratory. They can be said to be the top talents in the research and development of anti-cancer drugs in Longguo!

In a laboratory on the second floor, a young technician whispered to their chief technical engineer Song Zhe.

"General Manager Song, I heard that the company has problems and may go bankrupt!"

Song Zhe ignored it and was already doing the experiment in hand!

When the assistant saw that Mr. Song was silent, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut!

Until Song Zhe finished an experiment on a drug molecule in his hand!

After waiting for about five minutes, the experimental results came out!

He frowned slightly, obviously he failed again!

In the past three years, their team has conducted at least more than 12,000 drug molecule experiments, and all failed without exception!

The general process of developing anti-cancer targeted drugs is divided into three steps!

1. Determination of targets and drug molecules. The target refers to the specific molecule that the drug acts on in the body and achieves therapeutic effect. Drug molecules need to be screened among tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of molecules, which is very difficult and has a high failure rate.

2. In preclinical research, after confirming the drug molecule, in vitro and in vivo experiments are required. If it fails, the drug molecule needs to be screened from scratch!

3. Clinical research. Not only does this step cost money, but the research time is also very short, usually from several months to several years. At this step, there is already a high failure rate.

In short, the development cycle of anti-cancer targeted drugs is long, the success rate is low, and it is extremely expensive. On average, a new drug is about 10 billion from development to launch.

Song Zhe and his lab successfully screened two drug molecules, but they failed in preclinical experiments and clinical trials respectively. In the end, they had to go back to the first stage to screen drug molecules again.

Song Zhe made a cup of coffee and took a rest. Later he would need to enter the experiment of the next drug molecule!

Song Zhe's assistant sorted out the experimental results and qualifications, came over and said!

"General Manager Song, don't believe it. My news is very reliable. Our laboratory's high-tech technicians have already found a foreign drug research and development company!"

Song Zhe's thoughts were interrupted by his assistant Liu Li, so he said angrily!

"Xiao Liu, where did you hear the gossip?"

When Liu Li saw Song Zhe chatting with her, she immediately became energetic and said with a mysterious face!

"General Manager Song, this is not hearsay. My uncle is the financial director of our Huakang Pharmaceutical Company. I overheard it..."

He knew that Liu Li's uncle was the financial director of Huakang Pharmaceutical Company, otherwise Liu Li would not have come to the pharmaceutical laboratory to be his assistant because of her major as a nurse!

But Song Zhe doesn't think this news is true.

Huakang Pharmaceutical Company is mainly engaged in the production of antibiotics. Three years ago, the boss came to him and said that he wanted to develop anti-cancer targeted drugs!

In order to make Song Zhe join the R&D team with all his heart, he specifically showed him the company's financial statements, which showed that the annual profit was as high as 2 billion!

Moreover, the boss Ren Dayuan also promised Song Zhe that he would only focus on research and development, and Huakang Pharmaceutical Company would be enough to support his ten years of research!

Song Zhe agreed without hesitation. He believed that in ten years, he would be able to develop anti-cancer drugs!

"General Manager Liu, I suggest you find a new job as soon as possible, otherwise you will be unemployed by then!"

"Xiao Liu, I think you are free. Go and prepare the experimental equipment. I am going to do the experiment now!"

Liu Li saw that Song Zhe didn't believe her, so she got up helplessly to sort out the experimental equipment!

Song Zhe rested for about five minutes and then continued to devote himself to the experiment!

Office of the boss of Huakang Pharmaceutical Company!

At this time, the boss Ren Dayuan had a sad look on his face.

The marketing manager sat across from him and said angrily!

"These companies are so insidious. Seeing that our capital chain is broken, they actually joined forces to kill us!"

"Hey! The mall is like a battlefield!"

Ren Dayuan sighed helplessly!

"Mr. Ren, we really shouldn't have engaged in research and development of anti-cancer drugs in the first place. It cost the company 6 billion in three years, and we wouldn't have faced such a crisis!"

The reason why Ren Dayuan decided to develop anti-cancer drugs in the first place was because he saw that many people in Long Country could not afford imported anti-cancer drugs.

That's why he ignored Biren's opposition and insisted on developing Longguo's own anti-cancer drug!

In the past three years, Huakang Pharmaceutical Company has invested all its profits in the research of anti-cancer targeted drugs!

It turns out that Huakang Pharmaceutical Company’s antibiotics account for one-half of the entire Dragon Country market, and there is no problem in supporting a laboratory!

However, in the past two years, many pharmaceutical companies that produce antibiotics have emerged, and the companies compete with each other, resulting in a serious decline in their business volume!

Today, their business volume only accounts for less than 10% of the market share!

Coupled with the sharp decline in profits today, their capital chain has been cut off!
Chapter completed!
