Chapter 664: Patent Certificate
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Yang asked while taking the document.
"nice one!"
With a trace of doubt, Zhou Yang looked at these documents carefully.
After just two glances, he asked with a surprised look on his face: "Is this the patent document for atorvastatin?"
"right!"
"Why did you apply in my name?" Zhou Yang asked in surprise.
"This was originally researched by you, so naturally I have to apply in your name!" Lu Zhengjun said.
"Lao Lu, don't be careless. You should know the importance of this patent. It's worth hundreds of billions of dollars. How could the higher-ups let this be in my hands?" Zhou Yang said in a deep voice.
"It's just because the value is huge that I applied in your name!"
Then, Lu Zhengjun said again: "Because I didn't know the value of fluoxetine at the time, I applied for a patent in the name of the company. I'm sorry for that."
"When they applied for a patent for atorvastatin this time, I specifically asked them to apply in your name. After all, you invented it and it should be in your name!"
"Up there?"
"The minister also knows about this, and he has no objection!" Lu Zhengjun said.
"You probably didn't agree, right?"
"Haha, as long as he doesn't object, it's like acquiescing. After all, everyone wants to be shameless!"
To be honest, Zhou Yang really didn't expect that Lu Zhengjun could put the patent of atorvastatin in his name.
Although the thing does belong to him, the matter is so important that under normal circumstances the country will definitely be in his own hands.
Lu Zhengjun took a lot of risks by doing this. It would be better if his superiors did not pursue him, but if they did, he would definitely be punished.
"Lao Lu, you don't actually have to do this, it's not worth it!" Zhou Yang said with some emotion.
Lu Zhengjun smiled and said: "If you yourself dedicated the thing to the country, then I would definitely not say anything. But this medicine of yours is something I want to take away from you, so I can't let you
Suffer a loss!"
"It's great if you can use this thing worth hundreds of billions of dollars to earn foreign exchange for the country. How can we also take away the patent rights? Are they still human beings?"
"But..."
Lu Zhengjun immediately interrupted Zhou Yang and said with a smile: "Don't think too much. In fact, you might be a little worried if you put it in the hands of others, but in your hands, the department is still very relieved!"
"?"
"Haha, with your current status, you can only work for the country safely in this life. There is actually no difference between being in your name and being in the company's name!" Lu Zhengjun said.
"That said, but still..."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have one more important thing I want to talk to you about this time!" Lu Zhengjun said.
"What's going on?"
"Lao Yan submitted an application to the superiors yesterday. He wants to acquire a bankrupt pharmaceutical factory in Hong Kong Island. Some leaders think it is unnecessary. The minister asked me to ask for your opinion!"
Zhou Yang thought for a while and then said: "I think Lao Yan's idea is very good. As a pharmaceutical company, it is a matter of time to have its own pharmaceutical factory. If there is a suitable pharmaceutical factory, it would not be bad to acquire it!"
"I heard it would cost at least more than ten million!" Lu Zhengjun said.
"If the factory land and everything else belong to the pharmaceutical factory, 10 million is nothing. You will definitely not lose money if you buy it!" Zhou Yang said.
"Do you think you can buy it?"
"Yes!" Zhou Yang said firmly.
Ten million U.S. dollars sounds like a lot, but when you think about Hong Kong Island’s world-high housing prices a few decades later, housing prices can easily reach hundreds of thousands per square meter. It’s no exaggeration to say that every inch of land is precious.
Now spend 10 million to buy a pharmaceutical factory. If nothing else, you can make a lot of money even if you just sell the land in the future.
What's more important is that by putting on a whole show, a pharmaceutical company that doesn't even have its own pharmaceutical factory will inevitably make people suspicious.
Yan Gengdong was obviously aware of this, so he proposed to acquire the pharmaceutical factory.
With Zhou Yang's support, Lu Zhengjun immediately said: "In that case, I will go back and report this to the minister!"
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "Lao Lu, please pass a message to me and the leaders above! Now Lao Yan and the others have just got on the right track. Making money and earning foreign exchange is the second most important thing. The more important thing is to establish a foothold in Hong Kong Island first."
"Under such circumstances, don't put a tight spell on Lao Yan and others, and support their development!"
Lu Zhengjun immediately said: "Okay, I will bring the message to the leaders above!"
"Um!"
"By the way, I heard that your sister-in-law has given birth. Don't you plan to go back to visit? If you leave, I will take you back today by the way!"
"No, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. Let's talk about it when I get back!"
"How many days do you have to go on a business trip?"
"More than a month!"
"It's been so long, how should we contact you if something happens?" Lu Zhengjun said.
"You can ask the ministry to contact the military, just ask Vice Minister Jiang from the Equipment Department, and ask them to contact me there!" Zhou Yang said.
"Understood!"
Next, the two talked about the follow-up development of the Scythe Project.
You must know that although Yan Gengdong is responsible for the implementation of this plan, Zhou Yang is actually responsible for the big planning, while Lu Zhengjun is responsible for communication among the three parties.
At present, the entire plan is developing very smoothly, even far exceeding the expectations of the leaders above.
With results, they will have greater autonomy.
Therefore, Zhou Yang feels that Yan Gengdong and others can take bigger steps!
Fluoxetine has now opened markets in many regions in Asia, and has also reached an agreement with Johnson & Johnson, a company that owns Thieves, so it should win over the markets in Europe and Australia as quickly as possible, and South America should not be spared either.
Zhou Yang knows very well that for a pharmaceutical company, best-selling drugs not only represent huge profits, but also reflect the company's innovation capabilities.
Once fluoxetine is recognized by the global market, it will be easier to launch atorvastatin again.
You don’t even have to go out of your way to promote it, pharmaceutical companies that have tasted the benefits of fluoxetine will come to you.
In addition, the clinical trials of atorvastatin must also be accelerated. If necessary, some unconventional means can be used to promote the drug to market as soon as possible.
The reason is also simple, because in addition to them, medical scientists over there are also studying this drug.
Of course, what they studied was not atorvastatin, but it was also a statin drug with similar effects to atorvastatin.
Once they are allowed to market the drug in advance, this will definitely have an impact on the marketing of atorvastatin!
Of course, medicines are, after all, related to the life safety of millions of patients, so there is no room for carelessness!
Fortunately, Zhou Yang knew that this drug had been tested by hundreds of millions of patients, and its safety was unquestionable. Zhou Yang would not dare to do this if he switched to other innovative drugs!
Lu Zhengjun is not a doctor and does not understand drug research and development, but he understands business.
After analysis, I felt that Zhou Yang's arrangement made sense, and Dang even decided to convey Zhou Yang's ideas to Yan Gengdong as soon as possible, so that he could promote Atorvastatin to be launched as soon as possible.
The two chatted about these issues for more than two hours, and the chat ended at 3:30.
Afterwards, Lu Zhengjun was ready to leave!
However, just when Lu Zhengjun was about to leave, he was stopped by Li Youwei and asked him to wait. He said that he had something to bring back to his parents-in-law and sister-in-law.
Then, with Zhou Yang's stunned eyes, Li Youwei came to the vegetable garden and picked a big bag of cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, and cabbage.
Then, he went back to the house and took a lot of cured pork ribs and cured pig heads!
There are also brown sugar, white sugar and various supplements, which were given to her by the villagers during her confinement period.
There was so much that I couldn’t finish it all!
In addition, she has also packed away the small clothes that her son will wear during confinement and put them in a big bag.
The mess was packed into half a car, making Lu Zhengjun and others envious.
In Li Youwei's words, even though her parents-in-law are in the capital, the family is not short of money.
But everything you eat in the city requires a ticket, especially meat and oil. Sometimes you can't even buy it if you have money. It's far less convenient than in the village.
To be honest, Zhou Yang had never thought of these things, so when he saw this scene, Zhou Yang was really touched.
Although my daughter-in-law is a local girl in the village, she really has no say in her behavior and deeds. I will definitely not let her down in this life!
