Finally, amid applause, Wu Hao ended his speech. In fact, he didn't say much. He just thought about the future development direction of the Biological and Life Sciences Research Center with everyone and boosted everyone's morale.
As for the rest, he did not go into details. In fact, the establishment of this biological and life science research center was very low-key. There was not even a ribbon-cutting ceremony, but just such an inaugural meeting.
The reason for doing this is partly to reduce the outside world's attention to this. Although this cannot be hidden from people who are interested, it can at least reduce the excessive 'understanding' of them by the outside world.
Another point is to keep a low profile. As a newcomer to this field, there is no need to make it known to everyone. Let's wait until we have achieved some results.
In fact, he has already had ideas about establishing a biological and life science research center, but he has always been hesitant. On the one hand, the company has been established for a relatively short time and is expanding relatively quickly. It is not appropriate to expand into some unfamiliar companies at this stage.
Industry areas that you are good at or don’t understand.
On the other hand, Wu Hao also knows that biology and life sciences will be key areas of human research in the future and also popular areas.
After all, for human beings whose living standards are getting better and better, nothing is more important than health. Therefore, life science research and the development of practical medical technology will be hot areas in the future. If not anything else, let’s talk about a new drug.
, although the investment is relatively large, the benefits are also very amazing. Some cancer treatment drugs are extremely expensive, some even cost tens of thousands of dollars per box, and this does not include the endless other treatments.
In this area, our country has always been at a backward stage in the world. Key drugs and medical technologies like these are monopolized by foreign biomedical giants, and every year we spend a lot of foreign exchange on imports.
But not everyone can afford the high cost of medicine. Although the country and society have made a lot of efforts, many problems have been solved. However, the price of some long-term medicines is still very expensive, even if
Medical insurance covers part of the problem, but some patients still cannot afford it.
Not to mention those drugs that cannot be included in medical insurance because they are too expensive. It’s not that they don’t want to be included, but they can’t be included. The price of these drugs is too expensive. If they are included, this will make the medical insurance that is already unable to make ends meet.
The fund is even worse.
In fact, the manufacturing cost of the drug itself is very low. The real reason for its high price is not its production and raw material costs, but its research and development expenses.
The cost of research and development of a drug is very high, which not only requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but also a lot of time. The development cycle of a drug can be as short as three or four years, or as long as more than ten years, and this does not include field experiments.
Well, this series itself is an astronomical figure.
When a company spends such a large amount of money to develop a drug, it is natural that it must obtain revenue through this drug to cover the cost of research and development. Therefore, it is actually difficult for drug research and development companies. On the one hand, they have to bear the high cost of drug research and development, and on the other hand,
We must also bear the condemnation and irrational attacks from public opinion.
Logically speaking, companies invent drugs to save patients' lives, and patients should be grateful. But in the face of life and the strong desire to survive, these become worthless. Even these companies have become targets of attacks by patients.
, and became a punching bag for public condemnation.
Of course, drug research and development companies are also companies, and the purpose of a company's existence is to make profits. There is nothing wrong with selling the 'products' that you have worked so hard to develop. How to sell them and at what price is the freedom of the company. Of course, consumers can
Choose to buy or not to buy. But who let these 'products' affect human lives? Once human lives are involved, people will no longer be rational to talk about.
By saying all this, I am not trying to overturn the case for drug R&D and production companies. Some companies have indeed used the technology patents they have in their hands to show off their power. They have even committed numerous crimes. I am afraid that there are many blood, tears and lives buried in them.
They are all countless.
So when he first wanted to get involved in this field, he was very entangled. No matter whether he did it well or badly, he would be scolded.
When you can't develop something and can't come up with something, people will accuse you of being useless and just doing nothing. Why can foreign companies come up with it but you can't? To put it bluntly, it's useless.
After you develop it, these people will turn around and scold you. Why do you sell a domestic drug so expensively and eat steamed buns stained with blood?
But a company is a company, not a charity. You can't make a profit by spending a lot of money to develop a drug.
Although the state has strengthened its support for this type of biopharmaceutical companies in recent years, it is only a drop in the bucket. Compared with the huge research costs, it is a drop in the bucket and does not have much effect.
So this is actually a very complex problem, and there is still a long way to go to solve it.
But if he doesn't get involved in this field, he is a little unwilling to let the 'knowledge' information in his mind go to waste.
Just watch those suffering from the disease die in despair, or watch indifferently as the foreign biopharmaceutical oligarchs wield the stick of sky-high-priced drugs to dominate the country.
Everyone will grow old one day, but in terms of money, he has no shortage now. Even if he doesn't work now, his money is enough for him to squander for several lifetimes.
But after making so much money, he would not be willing to accept it if he ended up lying in bed and waiting to die.
The other is his parents. In the past two years when he returned home during the Spring Festival, he has witnessed with his own eyes that his father and stepmother are getting older year by year. Apart from buying more nutritional supplements, what else can he do? This is also what he is thinking about.
.
Then there is the person next to him, Zhang Jun, who can be regarded as his best friend and brother. Because this guy has gained too much weight, he was warned by the doctor during the company's physical examination at the beginning of this year. He has severe fatty liver and sinus arrhythmia.
, in the words of the doctor, if his weight continues to increase like this, his heart will eventually be unable to bear the burden, and it will evolve into obesity heart disease.
The human heart will not increase with the increase in body weight and volume after growth, so when the human body is overweight, the heart will not be able to bear it. This is like a small horse pulling a large cart, destined to be
Tired to death. Therefore, many overweight people eventually die of heart disease.
After Wu Hao learned the news, he was thinking, what would he do if one day his relatives or friends had an accident in front of him?
