Chapter 434 Threat
"With our help, you can develop new drugs earlier and faster, and work with Novavax to deliver this drug to more patients who need it." Zhao Lizhong continued to act.
"But in this case, the patent will belong to you, right? It's up to you to decide whether the drug will be sold or not, and how much it will cost." This is an old routine of pharmaceutical companies, "It's just like... just like Roche bought vitamin C." Same as the patent?”
Roche bought a cheaper vitamin C production process but put it on the shelf. Consumers still have to pay expensive prices to buy it. Novavax must have the same plan. There is a ready-made glenin that can harvest patients. Why would they launch it? New medicine? They spend money to buy it, just because they don’t want Shen Long’s research to affect their profits.
"How could it be? We at Novavax spend billions and tens of billions every year on new drug research and development, and we are very sincere." Zhao Lizhong's intention was seen through, but he refused to admit defeat.
"Forget it, I know the virtues of a pharmaceutical giant. I'd better develop it myself without your investment." Shen Long sneered, "There's no need to describe you as saints. It's as if those new drugs were really developed by you. Same."
"Mr. Cheng, the development of new drugs is not that easy. Many procedures cannot be completed easily. And even if you obtain the domestic production and sales license, you will definitely not be able to pass it by the FDA." Zhao Lizhong's face also turned cold. , seeing that inducements didn't work, he began to threaten Shen Long.
"I believe you have a certain influence on the relevant review departments, but you are still unable to dominate the country." Professor Ma Lin and his group of old Chinese medicine practitioners still have some influence. Novavax can create obstacles for the review, but they want to I'm afraid I still can't stop it and refuse to approve it.
"As for foreign patients, at least in recent years, I haven't been able to take care of them." Shen Long doesn't care about the problems of foreign patients, and it takes time to grow herbal medicine, debug the production line, and expand production capacity.
"Not everyone can participate in the pharmaceutical industry, so aren't you worried that you won't be able to buy suitable machinery and equipment?" Foreign countries have always been very strict about the entry of high-tech equipment into China. Novavax can completely influence relevant manufacturers and ban them. Selling equipment to Shen Long, but domestic equipment cannot keep up for the time being, is indeed a problem.
"You don't have to worry about it. There will always be a way." Shen Long replied calmly. Foreign high-tech blockades failed to prevent the rise of China's industry, and he also had this confidence.
Seeing that conventional threats were ineffective, Zhao Lizhong resorted to his trump card, "Recently, imitations of Glenin have been rampant in the Magic City. It is said that many people who are active in this matter often appear around Mr. Cheng. Is it possible that Mr. Cheng has anything to do with this matter?" Are you involved? You will be jailed for selling counterfeit medicines."
The smile on Shen Long's face froze, and then returned to normal, "I have always abided by the law and never participated in anything illegal or disciplinary. I'm afraid Mr. Zhao is overthinking."
Zhao Lizhong seemed to have found a way from Shen Long's expression and showed a calm smile again, "This is the best. It's getting late. Let's stop talking here today. Let's talk again next time we have a chance!"
"Okay." Shen Long stood up and shook hands with Zhao Lizhong, then walked out of the Green Wave Corridor, returned to his car and asked Peng Hao, "Are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat first?"
"No, I just bought a piece of bread." Peng Hao pointed to the packaging bag on the driver's seat, and then started the car. While driving, he couldn't help but look at Shen Long in the rearview mirror. After walking for a while, he still couldn't help it. He asked, "What did that guy say to you?"
"It's nothing. I just need to spend money to buy my patent. I'll give money, find a good school for Xiaoshu, and help me immigrate. The cost is quite high." In order to build patent barriers, pharmaceutical companies have always been Don't hesitate to spend money. If Shen Long agrees, he can easily get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. If it were anyone else, he might not be able to resist this temptation.
"Did you sell it?" Peng Hao was a little worried, "Don't believe that guy, that guy is not a good person."
"No, it's not necessarily that he is a bad person. At most, he is a sophisticated egoist." Shen Long shook his head. Zhao Lizhong would not do bad things specifically. People like him only look at their own interests when doing things. If it is beneficial to him, he will do good things. If it is not good for him, he will not have any psychological pressure on doing bad things.
"Go back and tell Sihui, Lao Lu, and Pastor Liu to tell them to be careful recently. Nova Corporation has already targeted us." Shen Long warned that Zhao Lizhong will definitely take action next and try to use this method. to stop myself.
The change in his expression in front of Zhao Lizhong just now was also deliberate. Novavax's attack will come sooner or later. This attack may be to block his own review procedures, or it may be to use the excuse of selling generic drugs to arrest him. In comparison, , Shen Long preferred that he take the second approach, because he had already made arrangements for this.
As for the review and procedures, he could only rely on Professor Ma Lin and others, which was a lot of work. The lesser of the two rights, that's why he would give Zhao Lizhong a hint that he was worried about being caught, or else rely on Shen Long's expression to control him. Ability will not let him see anything at all.
"I'll go find them after I send you home soon." Peng Hao frowned, "Still the same as before? If something happens, just say you bought it from Zhang Changlin?"
"Well, I've already made an agreement with him. Don't worry, you guys will be fine." Shen Long said, "Of course, it's best if you can't be discovered."
"Oh, I know, it's not that easy for them to catch them." Peng Hao accelerated the speed of the car.
The next day, Cao Bin was called into the office by the director as soon as he went to work. When he went in and saw that the director was chatting with Zhao Lizhong, neither of them looked very good.
"Cao Bin, Mr. Zhao has brought new clues." The director motioned Cao Bin to step forward and pointed to the photos on the table. "There is evidence that these people have been buying Indian generic drugs. We should be able to find out from them clue."
Cao Bin took the photo and looked at it carefully, and frowned unconsciously. He saw that the photos were all frail patients, including many gray-haired old people. Cao Bin couldn't accept that he was asked to catch such people, " Director, are you going too far?"
