In Smith's view, the White House's desire for the patent of Jiuxuan Zaizao Pill is both unexpected 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 up to them to decide whether they can get the patent.
This kind of medicine is like a super money printing machine, as long as anyone with a little foresight, it is impossible to sell the patent.
But Smith did not pour cold water on the other party, but readily agreed, saying: "After I meet with the person in charge of the other party, I will try my best to promote this matter."
Speaking, Smith said again: "However, I'm afraid I can't handle such a big matter alone. Should the White House send some negotiators over?"
The Minister of Health immediately denied: "It is not good for the White House to come forward directly for this kind of thing. If it spreads out, people will mistakenly think that the White House is trying to control the medical field. Once governments around the world start to intervene, it will not be easy to promote this matter."
As he said that, the other party asked again: "You go over this time, first check out the other party's tone in private, if the other party is interested in making a move, but the money is more, I will call the person in charge of Johnson & Johnson and let them Come forward and buy this patent."
Smith was speechless secretly, thinking: "The White House is really good at handling this kind of thing. They first heard the news, and then wanted to pick the fruit for top companies like Johnson & Johnson to eat. Once Johnson & Johnson gets this top Medicine patents, isn't that going to fly?"
At this time, the other party continued to tell him: "Smith, we must try our best to promote this matter. Once the patent is successfully acquired in the United States, Johnson & Johnson will spend at least a few percent of its sales a year to manage the relationship, including you. Me, this is a big cake!"
Smith couldn't help but startled.
Once this drug has the opportunity to be fully launched, it will easily achieve a sales of 100 billion U.S. dollars a year. If a few percentage points are used, it will be at least a few billion U.S. dollars.
If billions of dollars are used to manage the relationship, even if I only divide the corners, I am afraid that I have to calculate it in units of 100 million.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help being excited, and said quickly: "I will definitely do my best to make this happen!"
The other party responded with satisfaction, and said again: "Smith, there are still instructions from the White House. If the patent of this medicine cannot be obtained, the formula must be cracked, but the seven medicines you got before were all taken by your son." It was eaten, and there is no sample left, so this time, you must get some Jiuxuan Reconstructed Pills."
Smith asked in surprise: "If we can't get the patent authorization, we will directly crack the other party's formula. This must be a devastating blow to the reputation of our entire pharmaceutical patent system. Isn't it too risky to do so?"
"What are you afraid of?" The other party said indifferently: "We will definitely not do this kind of thing by ourselves. After the formula is conquered, we will hand over the formula to the Indian pharmaceutical company we hold for production. Anyway, India does not recognize pharmaceutical patents. .¡±
Smith instantly understood the other party's intentions.
If you can't buy it clearly, you can change it secretly.
After stealing it, put it in India for production, so as to avoid legal risks.
India's generic drugs have always been well-known around the world. The reason why they can blatantly imitate 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 in his heart.
After all, he is an academic, and he respects pharmaceutical patents very much, just as the author respects copyright the most.
Letting him participate in the piracy of drug patents is tantamount to letting an author who has been in the industry for many years and has deep feelings for creation engage in plagiarism.
He really didn't want to participate in this kind of thing.
So, he could only deal with it: "I see, I will try my best to find a way to facilitate the patent matter, and I will tell you as soon as I have news."
The other party didn't say much, and asked: "If you have any news, please contact me as soon as possible."
"good."
At noon the next day in Yanjing time, Smith's flight landed in Zhonghai, the largest city in southeast China.
Immediately afterwards, he had no time to take any rest, so he directly transferred from Zhonghai to the high-speed rail and arrived in Jinling.
As soon as he arrived in Jinling, he immediately took a taxi to the headquarters of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical in Jinling, but during this process, he did not get in touch with Wei Liang.
Because he was afraid that Wei Liang would not want to see him, he planned to go to Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical to visit Wei Wei directly.??.
After nearly twenty hours of running around, Smith finally arrived at Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical at six o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical, he was stopped by the security guard inside the gate because he did not have a pass card.
So he could only say to the security guard in fluent Chinese: "Hello, my name is James Smith, and I came from the United States to visit your general manager Wei Liangwei. Please inform me."
The security guard picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the situation to the security director of the office building.
Later, the news was passed on layer by layer, and Wei Liang's secretary finally conveyed it to Wei Liang.
Upon hearing that Smith had arrived at the gate of the factory, Wei Liang couldn't help laughing.
Calculated from this time point, after learning that he had returned to China, Smith took a plane and chased him all the way within a few hours.
He remembered Ye Chen's previous instructions, smiled and said to his secretary: "You ask the security guard to tell that Smith, my identity is more sensitive now, and I can't just meet anyone with interests in the medical field. If he really wants to see me If so, you need to make an appointment through Hong Wuye of Tianxiang Mansion."
The secretary ordered the matter without hesitation.
Soon, Smith got the news from the security guard.
I had already arrived at the door of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical, but Wei Liang insisted on letting me make an appointment through a third party, which made Smith realize that Wei Liang was taking revenge on himself.
One is to retaliate against my previous arrogance, and the other is to retaliate against myself for letting him make an appointment to meet through a public relations company.
He really wanted to ask Wei Liang for a favor, and tried to meet Wei Liang first, so he could only pick up his mobile phone and call Wei Liang again.
However, Wei Liang's mobile phone has already turned on the firewall, except for the acquaintances he added to the white list, other calls cannot be made.
At this time, Wei Liang called Hong Wu, and when he came up, he smiled and said, "Master Hong, I am Wei Liang, and Master Ye asked me to introduce you to a good deal!"
Hong Wu asked curiously: "Master Ye asked you to introduce a business to me? What kind of business?"
Wei Liang said with a smile: "Someone wanted to ask me to meet, but Master Ye asked me to put on a good show and ask the other party to go to you to help me to have a meal first, and you will charge him an agency fee when the time comes, and the rest will not be used." I'm worried."
Hong Wu smiled and said: "I'll go, there is such a good thing?! Then how much agency fee should I charge him?"
Wei Liang said: "Master Ye told you to charge him five million."
"What did you say?!" After hearing this, Hong Wu's jaw dropped to the floor in shock, and he blurted out, "I want to pay five million for inviting you to dinner?!"
Wei Liang smiled and said, "Yes, five million, and it's still in US dollars."
"Five million dollars?!" Hong Wu was dumbfounded, and blurted out: "Good guyWei Liang, you're doing well now The price of having a meal with you is more expensive than Buffett!"
Wei Liang said modestly: "Fifth Master, please don't make fun of me. The reason why you quoted such a high price is entirely Master Ye's ability. You also know that I am doing things for Master Ye. It's just a fake tiger"
Hong Wu nodded, and hurriedly said: "I understand, wait for me to call Master Ye and ask him what his specific instructions are."
