Alan Wilson really didn’t understand what the other party was hesitating about. British India was the most suitable drug testing ground on the planet for three reasons: first, the regulations were loose and the threshold was low; second, India had a massive population, wide genetic diversity, and various capabilities.
condition.
Third doctor is a respected profession. All doctors can speak English, and the hospital can also open its doors to communicate with drug companies without any barriers.
The conditions are as good as this, so there is nothing to hesitate about. After passing this village, there will be no more land.
"I have to admit that Mr. Ronald is more cautious among the Americans I have come into contact with." Alan Wilson sighed.
"So who is the most decisive person Mr. Allen has seen?" Ronald Koeman asked curiously.
Joan Crawford? Greta Garbo? No, Greta Garbo is Swedish, or Joan Crawford is more direct.
Alan Wilson replied, "The representatives of U.S. Steel are far more decisive than you and are very courageous in business negotiations."
"After all, our company is different from the U.S. Steel Company, and there is a gap in strength. In fact, Merck is not unprepared for some related expenses." Ronald Coleman said hesitantly, "Come to India to make drugs.
Many places have also invested in experiments.”
"For example?" Alan Wilson looked at the other party directly, wanting to hear what extra investment there was.
"Such as recruiting personnel, setting up test facilities, etc." Ronald Koeman happened to see Alan Wilson laughing when he said this, and asked displeasedly, "I wonder what Mr. Allen is laughing at?"
"I'll give it to you. Just tell me what you like." Alan Wilson said very grandly. The old-style imperialism also has three-inch nails, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
First of all, without looking at what time it is now, British India in 1947 was similar to the Soviet Union under Gottlieb. It was simply another version of the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
As an assistant to the commissioner of British India, he was doing similar things to the rising oligarchs at the end of the Soviet Union.
In fact, they can be called the same type of people, except that if the Soviet Union is gone, it will really be gone, India will be gone, and the British Empire will have other colonies.
Of course, it is actually different. He will not take the oligarch route. On the contrary, he may give birth to a group of local Indian oligarchs. He has kept all the records of his talks with Indian business families some time ago, and even
There are audio recordings and photos taken in the dark.
When Nehru came to power, he wanted to be close to the socialist leadership. If these Indian family businesses were disobedient, he would hand these meeting minutes to Nehru to let these future generations of Indian plutocrats know the consequences of betraying the British Empire.
Even if Nehru doesn't kill all these families and only selects one or two families to establish his power, these families can't stand it. No one wants to be the unlucky guy who is killed to scare the monkeys. Everyone thinks they are fine?
Louis XVI also wrote in his diary on the day of the coup, "Nothing happened today!"
An important step in Khodorkovsky's promotion to oligarch, namely the ownership of Yukos Petroleum Group, relied on a loan-for-shares plan.
Khodorkovsky acquired Yukos through a loan-for-shares plan. The loan-for-shares plan was invented by another oligarch, Vladimir Potanin, whom Freeland called an aristocrat.
Wanted to use it to get his long-coveted Nolisk Nickel Factory.
This was one of the clients that his bank Onekosm picked up after the collapse of the Soviet banking system.
Potanin wanted to become the owner of the company, but he did not suggest buying the company at a low price, which was too obvious. Instead, he promised to use a loan in exchange for the management rights of the company. This was the prototype of the loan-for-shares plan.
.
The loan-to-share exchange plan is essentially Yukos’ money to buy Yukos, so as a civil servant of the British Empire, he can just go against this plan. Merck Group has not paid even one dollar to loyal and honest imperial civil servants.
of bribery.
The expenses incurred were entirely incurred for the facilities, equipment, venues, etc. purchased in British India.
These are all normal expenses. Alan Wilson just made this business on behalf of London. The whole process is reasonable and legal, leaving no clues.
As for why the purchase expenditure is so high, isn't it very simple? In British India, everything has to start over, and the upfront investment in any business is astonishing and very reasonable.
Alan Wilson made several guarantees to the Merck Group. In agreement with British India's philosophy of life-saving and healing, the Governor-General would transfer a number of public hospitals to the Merck Group, and he would personally preside over the revision of the law to provide
Drug trials will be facilitated and the doctors needed will be provided. If the central government cannot do it, the provincial government will do it.
In short, everything is wrapped up by Alan Wilson, opening the door for major pharmaceutical companies to enter India.
After listening to Alan Wilson's words, Ronald Corman exclaimed in his heart that the old imperialism was invincible. The British bureaucrats in front of him could actually do this. If the opponent was an American, it might be another Rockefeller or Morgan. If it had been earlier,
Maybe they were directly slave owners.
Having said this, Ronald Koeman himself believed that if Merck Group disagreed, it would be blaspheming God and committing all the sins that can be committed in the world.
"If Mr. Allen can do this, we have no reason to disagree." Ronald Koeman said decisively, "I will finalize this matter with the headquarters immediately."
"That's right, this is time and money." Alan Wilson said wisely, "The world is changing so fast. If you don't take the lead, you may become a laggard."
The matter of the drug testing site was finally settled, and he immediately reported the good news to the two heads of civil servants.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not only should saving lives and helping the wounded not be concealed, but they should be publicized with great fanfare. This is not a bad thing.
After all, India is a big and prosperous country, and only when it shows signs of becoming independent, pharmaceutical companies from all over the world flock to help this big and prosperous country eliminate various diseases, right?
Then the next stage of work is to issue a licensing system. Not all pharmaceutical companies can come in. The number of places is limited, so hurry up and buy. After passing this village, there will be no such store.
India's licensing system was promulgated by Nehru in 1955 in order to restrict foreign investment and develop industry behind closed doors.
The licensing system controls every aspect of production, investment and foreign trade. The licensing economy limits the scope and intensity of market competition. The original intention was for Nehru to prevent India from being dumped by products from industrial powers that had just become independent.
Of course, there are also negative consequences, such as inhibiting innovation and protecting backwardness and conservatism. To "continue to increase per capita national income" on this kind of economic soil is even more difficult than reaching the sky.
Supporters After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, India was almost forced into a corner. The country's financial situation was extremely bad, and the Rao cabinet had to embark on reforms. India's economic government changed rapidly. The core content of Rao's reforms is extremely difficult to say, but easy to say.
Ji Yi, in fact, is attacking the licensing system.
Direct competition is not possible, nor is it complete avoidance of competition with foreign countries, but Alan Wilson believes that this is not Nehru's fault.
There is nothing to blame when a newly born country adopts measures to protect domestic products. Nehru was not wrong in thinking so, at least in Nehru's era. Those who come after him always blame Nehru, which is nothing more than standing up and talking without pain in the back.
It is precisely because of the licensing system that Alan Wilson hastily cashed out the British industries that are still in his hands. It is indeed unsafe.
After reaching a consensus with the representatives of Merck Group, Alan Wilson returned to the Government House and met Pamela Mountbatten and asked, "Have you finished registering the drug company? I will leave a license for your company."
."
"It's not difficult to register a company, but we don't have the talent. Our family has never been engaged in this kind of industry before. Now that we have a company, there is only a shell company. We are not in the country now, and it is too late to poach people." Pamela
Mountbatten said with some trouble, "How about I ask Patricia to help run it?"
"Is it your sister?" Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. There are many people in chemical and pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer and Farben Chemical Company. We can just recruit them when we have the opportunity."
"There are people from Farben Chemical who are imprisoned." Pamela Mountbatten covered her mouth and said, "Are you confused?"
"You can release them even if they are locked up." Alan Wilson hummed and smiled. The Nuremberg Trials have ended. The remaining small fish and shrimps cannot be detained for a long time. They will be released sooner or later anyway. It is better to release others than to release them yourself.
We can even implement early release and simply parole, so that the talents of these chemical and biological giants can have a chance to change their ways.
Nehru was already the Deputy Prime Minister of British India. This matter was not hidden from Nehru, and there was no need to hide it. Of course Alan Wilson could have hidden it if he wanted to.
Not only did he not hide it, but he took the initiative to mention it to Nehru himself. Of course, he made some modifications in his words, saying that Merck came to him and wanted to do infectious disease research in British India.
Follow up research and establish a scientific research institution.
"Alan, although this is a good thing, why do American companies do this?" Nehru asked suspiciously.
"Maybe it's to show the difference from the British Empire. A group of country bumpkins always want to prove something in front of dad." Alan Wilson sneered twice, unabashedly dismissing the Americans as disgusting, "When I saw that India was going to be independent,
They come to show their kindness without any expectation, who doesn’t know their little thoughts?”
