"Mr. Tian, ​​you need to know that even if our company has tested and believes that the small molecule compound you discovered is more suitable for continued development, it will require huge investment in subsequent laboratories and clinical trials, and it may fail. In addition,

, it is very difficult to become a marketed drug, it requires very complicated steps, and I am afraid it will take many years..."

Losis looked embarrassed and said seriously.

"Of course I understand this!"

Tian Lu shook his head and said calmly: "If it weren't for the listing process taking too long and costing too much, my asking price would probably make you walk away on the spot! And it is precisely with this in mind that I

We gave up the condition of one-time transfer and chose the model of down payment plus subsequent dividends.”

In fact, if Tian Lu had a choice, he would rather transfer all patent ownership at once. In that case, he could get more and larger funds at the first time. And with huge funds, he could build a larger

laboratories, purchase more equipment, carry out more projects, and discover more new compounds...

But obviously, this is basically impossible.

After buying the patent of the compound, it will take at least seven or eight years to go through a series of preclinical experiments, as well as phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 clinical trials! And even if Tian Lu is more confident in the compound he discovered

, but the long test time, plus at least two to three billion US dollars

I am afraid that no company would take such a big risk and pay him such a large amount of money in one go. After all, during the experiment, any side effects or imperfections discovered will lead to

The drug was aborted and all investments were wasted.

Therefore, unlike the transfer of surgical instrument patents, it is far away to obtain the later share of the drug.

Tian Lu's words made Losis feel extremely helpless.

For a pharmaceutical company, acquiring patents is necessary and cost-effective. After all, it is a huge investment for the R&D department to select suitable compounds from countless kinds of compounds. But if the price required to acquire patents is too high,

If it's too big, I'm afraid we need to weigh it carefully.

Of course, if the drug can finally be put on the market, the conditions mentioned by Tian Lu are not excessive, and Novofi is also willing to invest. After all, the application prospects of this small molecule compound are very broad, and the benefits are definitely worth looking forward to. However, if it ends up getting stuck at a certain step

, or a certain indicator cannot be listed?

Novofi terminates more than ten drug research and development projects every year. Huge amounts of money are simply scattered in the wind.

"Mr. Tian, ​​can I take this information back for evaluation?"

After pondering for a moment, Losis still asked extremely cautiously. Since he came to Tian Lu, Novifei must be very interested in acquiring the small molecule compound patent. But such a huge amount of money is involved, and the later sales share may be

Even more shocking. This is not something Losis can decide. Moreover, Tian Lu’s information must be handed over to the company for a comprehensive evaluation!

"sure!"

Tian Lu smiled and nodded. Tian Lu, who didn't know much about business, also understood. This is different from the previous transfer of device patents. Such a large patent transfer project must undergo reliable evaluation and many rounds of negotiations.

Make sure.

Because of this, Tian Lu is even more eager for talents at this moment. He does not want to spend his time and energy on these things. If it is not necessary, he does not even want to attend this conference.

During this period, his work was delayed too much.

After seeing off Professors Losis and Hausting, Tian Lu had contacts with executives from two other companies in the next two days. Of course, these were not the only three multinational companies that contacted him at first, but Tian Lu

I conducted the screening myself, and finally felt that these three companies were stronger, so I made an appointment to meet. Neither of the two companies said they were unacceptable to the conditions proposed by Tian Lu, but they also asked for a detailed document.

Conduct a preliminary assessment.

Tian Lu had an indifferent attitude towards this. If his materials failed to pass the evaluation, then I'm afraid the new drugs currently being developed by those companies would be useless.

During the contacts with several companies, time flew by quickly. Two days later, after bidding farewell to Anna, who had been accompanying him these days, Tian Lu and Feng Yuan got on the plane back to China together...

...

When Tian Lu arrived home, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Because he just had a phone call with his family, the door was unlocked. As soon as Tian Lu pushed it open, he immediately smelled an attractive aroma, and his stomach suddenly growled. He reached out and leaned the box against the door while changing his shoes.

I couldn't help but ask loudly: "It smells so good! What are you making delicious?"

"These are some of your favorite dishes."

Ye Lan leaned half out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Hurry up and take a shower. You can eat soon!"

After saying that, Ye Lan went back to cooking, while Tian Lu, lured by the fragrance of rice, quickly took a hot shower, then put on his pajamas and sat down at the dining table.

Carrying the last plate of food and walking out of the kitchen, Ye Lan said with some distress: "You can't eat well every time you take a long-distance flight. Are you starving? Hurry up and eat!"

There was nothing to be polite between the two of them. Tian Lu took the dish of pork rib soup and started cooking immediately.

Although he was already very hungry, the more it happened, the more carefully Tian Lu controlled his eating speed. Especially after drinking a bowl of soup, he had to chew the first few mouthfuls slowly, as hurrying would hurt his stomach.

.

If it were a few years ago, even if Tian Lu had obtained the resident decision support system and learned relevant knowledge, but in this situation, I am afraid he would still wolf it down without any scruples. But in the past few years, he

I am paying more and more attention to health care. For example, when eating, chew slowly, eat small meals frequently, drink soup before meals, do not drink water during meals, do not eat too hot, do not eat too cold...

This is not to say that Tian Lu particularly wants to live a long life. In fact, over time, some habits have naturally formed.

"Why don't you eat?"

After finishing half a bowl of rice, Tian Lu looked up and saw Ye Lan not moving his chopsticks, just staring at him eating with a smile, and couldn't help asking a little strangely.

Ye Lan waved her hand and said with a smile: "I'm not hungry, you eat your food and leave me alone."

Blinking his eyes, Tian Lu felt a little puzzled and asked suspiciously: "Are you worried? If so, just tell me and don't let me guess again!"

The two have been together for more than ten years and know each other very well. One look at Ye Lan's expression and Tian Lu knew that she must have something to ask of him. Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, even though he had just returned from abroad,

But we were just going out, was there any need for such a big scene? I’m afraid it wouldn’t be a big deal even if Tian Yue comes back for dinner, right?

"It's not a big deal. Holding her cheeks with both hands, Ye Lan said with a smile: "It's just that you said you would help me ask Professor Locke and others to give lectures. When did you help me do it?"

"lecture?"

Tian Lu was startled for a moment, and then suddenly realized. Now Ye Lan is in the marketing department, responsible for the promotion of the set of equipment designed by Tian Lu. Last time, Tian Lu also gave her an idea to promote it in the form of a training class. One of the things is

Invite Professor Locke and others to give lectures in China to attract the participation of students.

After pondering for a moment, Tian Lu frowned and asked: "How are you doing with the preparations for the training class?"

"Almost!"

Ye Lan immediately replied: "We found a conference company and they took care of all the trivial work. Now we have started to promote it online. In addition, the continuing education credits have also been coordinated. The only thing left is to confirm the training

The specific content and lectures of the class are experts”

Although Tian Lu would not forget something like this after he said it, he would never keep it in mind. But it was different for Ye Lan. After being a housewife for several years, she now wanted to

I have been working hard at work, so I have been following up on this matter. I just finalized the project application and continuing education credits in the past two days, and I can’t wait to come to Tian Lu to fulfill my promise.

"Don't worry."

Tian Lu shook his head and said with a smile: "Even if it is done, it can only be done next year, and in two or three months at most, I am afraid I will have to cooperate with Professor Locke and the others. Then I will invite them to come and talk.

There will definitely be no problem in the next class, don’t worry!”

In addition to Professor Luca, Tian Lu also met Professor Alberto and Darcy during this trip to Copenhagen, and learned a little about the progress of everyone's research. The progress was beyond Tian Lu's expectation, perhaps because everyone was full of enthusiasm.

Because of this, it is about one-fifth faster than the original plan! In other words, if the progress of the other four companies is the same, Tianlu will definitely be able to obtain enough experimental data by the end of the year!

At that time, clinical trials will be conducted. In addition to these cooperative units, Tian Lu also plans to bring in several authoritative neurosurgeries to collect high-quality clinical data as soon as possible and produce results as soon as possible.

San Francisco Medical Center is one of Tian Lu’s goals.

According to Tian Lu's understanding of Professor Locke and the personal relationship between the two, it is not difficult to get him, or the neurosurgery department of the San Francisco Medical Center, to join him. And with a cooperative relationship, it will not be difficult to invite him to give lectures.

It's simply a favor I owe.

Tian Lu always keeps his word, and more importantly, he has never let Ye Lan down. So after getting this guarantee, Ye Lan finally felt relieved, then picked up the chopsticks and pointed towards the top of the table.

The tempting West Lake vinegar fish stretched out...
