In Smith's view, the White House wanted the patent for Jiuxuan to recreate the pill, both beyond expectations and reasonable.
Once the health department reports this kind of news to the White House, it is naturally impossible for them to miss this good opportunity.
However, it is not their decision to obtain the patent.
This kind of medicine is like a super money printing machine. As long as a slightly foresight person, it is impossible for him to sell his patent.
But Smith did not pour cold water on the other party, but agreed readily and said, "When I meet the other party's person in charge, I will try my best to promote this matter."
As he said that, Smith said again: "But, I am afraid that I can't handle such a big deal. Should the White House send a few negotiating experts here?"
The Minister of Health immediately denied: "It is difficult for the White House to come forward directly. If it is spread, it will make people mistakenly think that the White House is intending to control the medical field. Once governments from all over the world start to intervene, this matter will be difficult to promote."
As he said that, the other party instructed again: "You go over this time, and first explore the other party's words privately. If the other party is interested in taking action, it is just that the money is needed, I will call the person in charge of Johnson & Johnson and ask them to
Come out and buy this patent.”
Smith was secretly shocked and thought to himself: "The White House is indeed very good at operating such things. They first learned the news, and then wanted to pick the fruits for top companies like Johnson & Johnson to eat. Once Johnson & Johnson gets this top
The patent of the drug, wouldn’t it fly?”
At this time, the other party continued to remind him: "Smith, you must try your best to promote this matter. Once the patent is successfully spent on the United States, Johnson & Johnson will take out at least a few percentage points of sales in a year to make up for the relationship, including you
Me, this is a huge cake!”
Smith couldn't help but feel shocked.
Once this drug has the opportunity to be fully launched, its annual sales of $100 billion will be easy. If you take out a few percentage points, it will be at least a few billion US dollars.
If you use billions of dollars to make up for the relationship, even if you only divide the edges and corners, you probably have to calculate it in units of billions.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited and said quickly: "I will do my best to make this happen!"
The other party responded with satisfaction and said, "Smith, there is still an instruction from the White House that if the patent of this medicine cannot be obtained, you must crack the formula, but the seven medicines you got before were all the ones you got were your son.
I ate it and no samples were left, so this time you have to get some Jiuxuan Remaining Pills back."
Smith asked in surprise: "If we cannot obtain the patent authorization, we will directly crack the other party's formula. This will definitely be devastating to the credibility of our entire pharmaceutical patent system. Isn't it too risky to do this?"
"What are you afraid of?" the other party said without caring: "We will definitely not do this kind of thing ourselves. After conquering the formula, we will hand over the formula to the Indian pharmaceutical company we hold to produce. Anyway, India does not recognize pharmaceutical patents.
.”
Smith instantly understood the other party's intentions.
If you can’t buy it openly, just change to stealing it.
After being stolen, it is put in India for production, which can avoid legal risks.
India's generic drugs have always been well-known worldwide. The reason why they can blatantly copy various drugs is because the country's laws do not recognize pharmaceutical patents, so this kind of thing is not illegal in India.
Smith was more or less resistant to this strategy.
After all, he is an academic and respects medical patents very much, just like the author respects copyright the most.
To get him involved in pirated drug patents is equivalent to plagiarizing an author who has been in the industry for many years and has a deep passion for creation.
He really doesn't want to participate in this kind of thing.
So he could only deal with it: "I understand. I will try my best to find ways to promote patents. I will tell you the news as soon as possible."
The other party didn't say much and instructed: "If you have any news, please contact me as soon as possible."
"good."
......
At noon the next day on Yanjing time, Smith's flight landed in the largest city in southeast China, China's largest city.
Immediately afterwards, he had no time to do any rest, so he transferred from Zhonghai to take the high-speed train and arrived in Jinling.
As soon as he arrived in Jinling, he immediately took a taxi to Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical's headquarters in Jinling, but during this process, he did not contact Wei Liang.
Because he was afraid that Wei Liang would not want to see him, he planned to visit Wei Liang directly at Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical.
After nearly twenty hours of running around, Smith finally arrived at Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical at 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical, he was stopped by the security guard at the door because he had no pass.
So he could only say to the security guard in fluent Chinese: "Hello, my name is James Smith. I am General Manager Wei Liangwei who came from the United States to visit you. Please inform me."
The security guard picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the situation to the security officer in charge of the office building.
Then, the news was passed down layer by layer, and was finally conveyed to Wei Liang by Wei Liang's secretary.
When Wei Liang heard that Smith had arrived at the factory gate, he couldn't help laughing.
Judging from this time node, after Smith learned that he had returned to China, he took a plane and chased him all the way within a few hours.
He remembered Ye Chen's previous instructions and said to his secretary with a smile: "You ask the security guard to tell Smith, I am more sensitive now and cannot meet anyone who is related to the stakeholder in the medical field. If he really wants to see me
If you want to make an appointment through Master Hong Wu from Tianxiang Mansion.”
The secretary ordered this matter without hesitation.
Soon, Smith got the news from the security guard.
He had obviously arrived at the door of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical, but Wei Liang insisted on letting him make an appointment to meet through a third party, which made Smith realize that Wei Liang was taking revenge on him.
One is to retaliate against his previous arrogance, and the other is to retaliate against his previous practice of asking him to make an appointment to meet through a public relations company.
He wanted to ask Wei Liang for a relationship and try to meet Wei Liang first, so he could only pick up his cell phone and call Wei Liang.
However, Wei Liang's phone had already opened the firewall. Except for the acquaintances he added to the whitelist, no other phone calls could be made.
At this time, Wei Liang called Hong Wu and smiled as soon as he came up: "Master Hong Wu, I am Wei Liang. Master Ye asked me to introduce you to a good deal!"
Hong Wu asked curiously: "Master Ye asked you to introduce me to the transaction? What kind of transaction?"
Wei Liang smiled and said, "Someone wants to ask me to meet, but Master Ye asked me to show off and ask the other party to come to you to help me have a meal first. You will charge him a agency fee at that time, and the rest will not be needed.
Worry.”
Hong Wu smiled and said, "I'm going, there's such a good thing?! Then how much is the agency fee I'll charge him?"
Wei Liang said: "Master Ye said that you will collect him five million."
"What did you say?" After hearing this, Hong Wu was so shocked that his chin fell to the ground and blurted out: "I have to pay five million for an appointment for you to have a meal?"
Wei Liang smiled and said, "Yes, five million, and it's still US dollars."
"Five million US dollars?" Hong Wu was stunned when he heard this and blurted out: "Good guy... Wei Liang, you can do it now... The price of having a meal with you is better than Buffett
It's still expensive!"
Wei Liang said modestly: "Fifth Master, don't make fun of me. The reason why you quote such a high price is completely Master Ye's ability. You also know that I am just doing things for Master Ye, just pretending to be a tiger's power...
..”
Hong Wu nodded and hurriedly said, "I understand. Wait for me to call Master Ye and ask him what specific instructions he has."
