Chapter 408 Re-entry into 'The Name of the People'
Capital is a double-edged sword. It can promote rapid scientific progress, but it can also do all kinds of evil for profit. It is not surprising that unregulated capital can do anything.
After Academician Ma Lin's narration, Shen Long had a general understanding of the many problems existing in the drug development process. However, it was obvious that Academician Ma Lin still had a lot to say. The reason why it was difficult to see a doctor and the price of drugs was expensive was not only due to medicine. on the company, but the remaining issues are even more sensitive.
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" has not been filmed, and Academician Ma Lin is unwilling to say more, but Shen Long can also guess a thing or two. For example, at the end of the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Cao Bin told Cheng Yong when he came to pick him up from prison. Lenin has been included in the medical insurance list, and he no longer has to worry about patients being unable to afford medicine.
This seems to give the movie a relatively happy ending, but is that really the case? After being included in the medical insurance list, the price of the original drug Glenin was still as high as tens of thousands. At that time, the patent period had not yet expired, and there were no cheap generic drugs to replace it. With so many patients across the country in need, can medical insurance funds really cover the medication needs of all patients?
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, this problem can't be solved easily. Shen Long threw these thoughts behind him. It would do him no good to delve into this problem. He sighed, "Now I'm afraid I can only hope that you can develop it as soon as possible." This new drug has completely reduced drug prices.”
"The development cost of this drug will definitely be much lower than other new drugs, because we already know that Kunlun Golden Thread Snow Lotus is effective for this disease, which saves a lot of manpower and material resources. This is why the development cycle of artemisinin is shorter than that of Europe and the United States. The reason why pharmaceutical companies develop new drugs is in a short period of time. The next step is to cultivate this plant in large quantities and then search for the extraction of active ingredients." Academician Ma Lin is still very optimistic about the prospects of this drug.
"Speaking of which, this is also your credit. If you hadn't found and cultivated the seeds of this extinct plant, we wouldn't have been able to do anything." He also praised Shen Long, "After all, this matter happened because of you. Yes, if a new drug can be developed, I will help you fight for it."
Shen Long knew that Academician Ma Lin wanted to fight for his own interests, but he had just sold Lao Bai's chemical information for so much money that he didn't care much about it. "No, no, no, I'm not short of money. I can help patients Just take the medicine as soon as possible."
Academician Ma Lin chatted for a while and then left. Shen Long originally wanted to tell him that he was also involved in the research and development of new drugs, but since he was not a chemistry major, it was a bit abrupt to talk about this, so he held back for the time being.
Whether it is cultivating medicinal herbs, extracting active ingredients, or conducting clinical trials, it takes a lot of time. Shen Long cannot wait like this forever, but he has already thought of a solution. Pack up, bring the necessary information samples, and choose to return to the world of "In the Name of the People".
The scientific level of this world is only three or two years behind that of the real world. There is not a big gap. And since he holds a high position in this world, the resources he can mobilize are obviously much stronger than those of the real world. More importantly, in "People's In the name of the world, time in the real world stands still, and he is not worried that the system will dislike him for taking too long to receive the task.
He got up from bed, washed up, and had breakfast. Gao Xiaoqin helped him straighten his clothes and watched him get in the car and leave. Shen Long sat behind the car and asked the secretary in the passenger seat, "Xiao Liu, please collect some information from us." Information about pharmaceutical companies, I would like to adjust my recent schedule. I would like to inspect the top pharmaceutical companies in our province as soon as possible."
"Okay, Qi Province." Xiao Liu immediately took out his notebook and recorded it. After two meetings in the morning, he reported the results to Shen Long, "Qi Province, the information has been collected. The scale of our province is relatively small. There are several large pharmaceutical companies, including Provincial Pharmaceutical Group, Jishitang Co., Ltd. and Weili Technology. Among them, Provincial Pharmaceutical Group specializes in Western medicine, Jishitang specializes in developing traditional Chinese medicine, and Weili Technology is a biotechnology company. These three companies were all selected into the domestic list last year. It ranks among the top 100 pharmaceutical companies and has certain strength."
"According to the schedule, tomorrow afternoon's arrangement can allow other leaders to come forward for you, and the day after tomorrow can also be freed up." After finishing speaking, Xiao Liu closed his notebook and waited quietly for Shen Long's decision.
"Then let's go to Jishitang shares in the morning the day after tomorrow. Reserve more time. I want to make a careful inspection." Shen Long thought for a while and made a decision, "I will go to the other two companies in the afternoon."
He cannot guarantee that the strength of Jishitang Co., Ltd. can meet his requirements. If it can work, it will be the best. If not, he will consider joining three pharmaceutical companies to jointly develop this new drug.
"Okay, I'll go get ready." Xiao Liu immediately went out to make arrangements.
After a busy day at home, when he arrived at the door, Shen Long took out several pots of cultivated snow lotus from the space and placed them in the garden. After dinner, he went to the study again and learned from Hu Qingniu's "Medical Classics" With the knowledge he had gained, and the chemistry talent he got from Lao Bai, he was seriously considering a plan to develop new drugs.
The day after tomorrow, Shen Long arrived at the gate of Jishitang Co., Ltd. as scheduled. The other party knew Shen Long's temper, so there was no welcome ceremony. They just cleaned the factory thoroughly, and then the general manager of the company led several senior officials. While Guan is waiting at the door, other employees are still busy with whatever they need to do.
"Well, isn't that good? Don't disrupt the company's normal operations because of me." Shen Long praised him and followed them into the factory, first going to the conference room to listen to the report.
"Jishitang is a time-honored brand in the country's traditional Chinese medicine industry. It was founded... after the reform and opening up, and we learned advanced domestic and foreign technologies... Currently we are focusing on..." The general manager told the company's history, current situation and future plans.
"Well, it's very good. Traditional Chinese medicine is a huge treasure house left to us by our ancestors, but we can't stand still, but must use high-tech technology..." Shen Long encouraged and proposed to go to the laboratory and production workshop Visiting requirements.
Of course the other party would not refuse, and immediately took Shen Long into the laboratory. Just as the general manager was about to introduce Shen Long, he saw him watching an experimenter operate with interest, "Oh, this is the use of polymer separation. The membrane removes ineffective macromolecules from the medicinal solution, and concentrates and clarifies the medicinal solution, right? It seems that what we are dealing with now is Angelica sinensis concentrate?"
