Currently, a large number of Xia's pharmaceutical products, medical technology and even medical equipment are based overseas.
There is no doubt that in 2007, the focus of global medical care was still in the West, especially in the United States.
Major hospitals in Xia Kingdom purchase a large number of drugs and medical equipment from the United States.
The products produced by large pharmaceutical companies in Europe and the United States account for more than 60% of Xia's medical market.
Even if some pharmaceutical companies in Xia are able to produce certain Western medicines or equipment on their behalf, they must obtain authorization from the Western medicine or equipment company.
of course there are exceptions.
For example, in Asan, the country directly announced that it would not recognize overseas patents on drugs and medical equipment, and encouraged domestic pharmaceutical companies to imitate them.
This makes Asan Country a cheap pharmaceutical factory in the world.
Even among patients in Xia Kingdom, many people purchase life-saving medicines from Asan Kingdom through various methods.
For some drugs, if you buy genuine American drugs, a course of treatment may cost tens of thousands of RMB, and a course of treatment lasts for half a month or even a week. These drugs are not covered by medical insurance at all, and not many patients can afford them.
As for Asan's medicine, a course of treatment may cost only a few thousand or even a few hundred yuan, which most patients can afford.
The most expensive part of all "miracle drugs" is the research and development stage. After the research and development is successful, most of the production actually does not cost much.
However, since Xia State joined the WTO, it has promised to protect intellectual property rights, and in recent years, Xia State has been asking the West to recognize its market economy status.
Therefore, even if some OEMs have long known the production processes and methods of certain drugs in the United States, they still have to pay high patent fees.
This is the current situation of Xia Kingdom.
Because I want face, I can't be shameless with Asanbi.
This time, Bristol-Myers Squibb has indeed spent a lot of money to obtain Changtian Technology's combined colony treatment technology.
When negotiating with Changtian Technology, they offered extremely favorable conditions and even provided their own targeted drugs.
However, no one expected that Changtian Technology would not accept the offer at all.
Bristol-Myers Squibb had no choice but to use extraordinary means to obtain this technology.
He will not have more negotiations with Changtian Technology, but will directly negotiate with the relevant departments of Xia State.
Bristol-Myers Squibb really understands the operating rules of Xia Guo Company.
Whether it is a private enterprise or a state-owned enterprise, what they respect most is not the market, but the management of relevant departments.
Therefore, after Cassian left Changtian Technology, he immediately went to places such as Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Yanjing. Moreover, the American medical system represented by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company must have exerted strong pressure on Xia Guo's pharmaceutical industry.
As for what kind of pressure, Chen Xiao can guess it without asking.
Nothing more than two parts.
One is a large-scale price increase for widely popular drugs.
One is to block key drugs and technologies as a condition of exchange.
From the perspective of a national chess game, these conditions must be much more important than Changtian Technology's transfer of joint colonies.
Chen Xiao, I can understand.
Because the country is not strong enough, a large amount of technology is still in the hands of overseas technology companies.
But understanding is understanding, whether you agree or not is another matter.
Chen Xiao definitely disagrees.
Blind compromise will never lead to a fair cooperation agreement.
Especially for Western companies, we cannot compromise.
Chen Xiao was a man in two generations, and there are many such examples.
Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Professor Wu, what do you think about this matter?"
Wu Yong felt very uncomfortable and said with a bitter smile: "What can I think? I just want to say fuck her!"
Wu Yong has worked at the Xia Guo Academy of Sciences Medical Center for many years, and of course the market deals with Western pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions.
Many times, Wu Yong felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
In many practical medical fields, Xia's scientific research institutions, even with all their efforts, are unable to reach the advanced level of the West.
And when Xia's scientific research institutions need to communicate with the West and need technical support from the other side, the other side will open their mouths and put forward conditions that are very uncomfortable but have to be succumbed to.
In terms of high-end technology, Wu Yong and his team have suffered a lot.
He also believed that in many scientific research fields in Xia State, many colleagues may have suffered such losses.
This is not a problem of a certain technician or a technical team, but a problem of weakness in everything from basic science to high-end science.
It’s not that Xia’s scientific research community doesn’t work hard, it’s that it’s too difficult for Xia’s people to walk the path that the West took hundreds of years in just a few decades.
At the end of hanging up the phone, Wu Yong even said angrily: "I shouldn't have made this call."
Because Wu Yong himself felt aggrieved.
This feeling is like a poor scholar in a village in the old society, who finally won the heart of the village beauty through his own efforts.
As a result, the landlord in the village took a fancy to the village beauty at a glance and asked the scholar to step aside. If not, the scholar's parents would not be able to work as long-term workers for the landlord.
If you don't do long-term work, there will be no food at home, and the whole family will starve to death.
At this time, the whole family looked at the scholar pitifully, hoping that the scholar could find a solution.
The scholar looked at his parents who were dying on the bed and his emaciated brother and sister. What could he do?
Scholars have no other choice.
Compared with one's own love, the lives of the whole family must be more important.
Especially my younger brother and younger sister, they don’t understand anything, why would they starve to death because of themselves?
Therefore, the scholar had no choice but to give up the village beauty.
Therefore, Wu Yong felt that he should not make this call to put pressure on Chen Xiao.
Changtian Technology's research and development results, how to use them, and whether to cooperate with others, are Changtian Technology's own affairs.
As a private enterprise, Changtian Technology has no obligation to share the pressure of the country or society.
Chen Xiao said: "I understand, Professor Wu."
Wu Yong hung up the phone and sat on a chair smoking a cigarette.
I felt very depressed.
This time, Wu Yong did not explain clearly to Chen Xiao the pressure imposed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company as required by his superiors.
If Changtian Technology is unable to cooperate in accordance with Bristol-Myers Squibb's intentions, then Bristol-Myers Squibb will take but is not limited to the following measures -
Let the prices of medicines such as Baludin, Maspin, Staxad, and Prague be increased across the board or stop selling in Xiaguo, withdraw the medical assistance team, and do not even rule out the next step.
Balludine is used to treat hepatitis, to be precise, it treats hepatitis B and liver fibrosis and other diseases caused by it.
Due to the economic level and living habits, Xia State was in a period of high incidence of hepatitis B from the last century to the beginning of this century. Especially in large factories and some construction sites, three or four out of ten workers were infected with hepatitis B.
In the entire Xia Kingdom, the hepatitis B infection rate is about 1% to 2%, which means there are more than 100 million people.
This is a terrible number, which has seriously affected the health of Xia's working population and may even affect social stability.
Bristol-Myers Squibb has a patent for the treatment of hepatitis B, and Baluxin is a specific drug.
Currently, a box of Boludin costs more than 1,000 yuan, which is not affordable by many patients.
The state is also trying to negotiate with Bristol-Myers Squibb to lower prices and include the drug in medical insurance.
The negotiation was originally going to be successful, but now it's very difficult once this happens.
To put it simply, this is just an issue related to a certain drug.
To put it more seriously, this is related to the health of hundreds of millions of Xia people.
Hepatitis B does not seem to be a disease, but if it is not treated, liver cancer and cirrhosis will definitely come to your door in the later stages.
If Bristol-Myers Squibb is unwilling to lower prices or even increase prices, Xia's medical industry and ordinary patients will pay a heavy price.
This is something that the people of Xia State, which is in the process of development, cannot bear.
And Shidasai is a life-saving medicine.
This drug is one of the most important drugs for the treatment of the chronic phase, accelerated phase and blast phase (blast myeloblastosis and blast phase) of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
Currently on the market, the price of this drug is also extremely expensive, reaching tens of thousands of yuan per box.
In recent years, leukemia has occurred frequently among teenagers in Xia.
After family planning, one child is the entire hope of a family.
The mortality rate of juvenile leukemia is very high, and in the domestic medical community, there is no good solution at all.
All treatment options are learned abroad.
This includes controlling or treating the disease with drugs such as Stacer, and replacing the patient's bone marrow.
If Bristol-Myers Squibb increases the price of this drug or goes out of stock, and suspends cooperation with Xia Guo's medical institutions, the situation for those children in Xia Guo who are currently lying in hospital beds waiting for treatment will be very pessimistic!
Not to mention other drugs, they are also key drugs for some common diseases and irreplaceable drugs.
Thinking of this, Wu Yong sighed deeply and held a breath in his heart! He felt both angry and very uncomfortable!
On the one hand, there are negotiations related to the life and death of countless patients in Xia State.
On the one hand, it is one of the few in Xia State that can achieve world-leading treatment methods.
Wu Yong was heartbroken!
He hit the table hard with his fist!
Cassian and his team have completed their visits to relevant departments and hospitals in Xia State and returned to the United States on a special plane.
On the plane, the classic American country music "Gelif" was played.
Snyder said: "Mr. Cassian, are you sure that Changtian Technology can restart negotiations?"
This time, Changtian Technology's firm attitude exceeded many people's expectations, including Snyder.
In Snyder's plan, Bristol-Myers Squibb has shown the greatest sincerity, and even introduced tumor-targeted drugs. Changtian Technology was willing to cooperate with Bristol-Myers Squibb no matter what, but I did not expect that Changtian Technology would not
Disregard these conditions.
Cassian and Snyder were sitting in the first class cabin. He drank champagne and said with a smile: "Of course! If Changtian Technology wants to survive in Xia Country, then they have to compromise!"
Kassian said with great certainty: "Not only can I be sure that the negotiations can continue, but I can also be sure that Changtian Technology can fully accept the conditions we proposed, and we can even make our conditions more demanding."
Snyder didn't understand what Cassian said.
Cassian smiled and said: "Snyder, do you know why the head office sent me to Xia Country?"
Snyder shrugged and said he didn't know.
Kassian said: "Because I have worked in Xia Guo for five years. Bristol-Myers Squibb's Xia Guo headquarters is in Shanghai, or I have worked there for five years."
"I understand very well the way people of Xia do things and their logic."
"We also know what the weakness of Changtian Technology is."
After saying this, Cassian smiled and looked out the window.
The plane has entered the stratosphere, and outside the window is a pure blue.
After Bristol-Myers Squibb acquires Changtian Technology's combined colony therapy-related technologies, it will surely establish itself as the world's greatest pharmaceutical company.
…
The pressure is on Changtian Technology.
After Wu Yong hung up the phone, Chen Xiao also sat in his seat.
Although Wu Yong did not explain it clearly, Chen Xiao could imagine how much pressure the relevant departments and the medical industry were under.
Moreover, Wu Yong was very considerate and gave Chen Xiao enough space to handle this matter from the perspective of Changtian Technology, rather than from the perspective of the country or the medical industry.
Qu Ping was by Chen Xiao's side. She already knew the follow-up process of the entire incident, and could clearly feel the pressure on her boss.
Qu Ping couldn't help but said: "Mr. Chen..."
But as soon as her name was called out, she didn't know what to say next.
Chen Xiao smiled and did not transmit the pressure to Qu Ping.
He said to Qu Ping: "You go out first, I will rest for a while."
Qu Ping felt very distressed when she saw her boss looking a little tired.
At this time, Gao Miao was also outside the office.
Qu Ping glanced at Gao Miao standing at the door, nodded, and walked out consciously.
Gao Miao knocked on the door and walked in.
Gao Miao made Chen Xiao a cup of green tea. She did not take the initiative to mention it, but said, "This is this year's new tea. I think it tastes pretty good."
Chen Xiao took a sip of tea and felt the fresh and clean taste spread from his taste buds throughout his body in an instant. He felt very refreshed and comfortable.
Chen Xiao said to Gao Miao: "If you want to deal with these Western technology companies, you must understand the operating model of Western society."
"There must be experts behind Bristol-Myers Squibb, otherwise the weaknesses of Xia Guo-related companies would not have been so accurately captured."
What Guibao Company discovered during its implementation was not just the weakness of Xia Guo Technology Company, but the weakness of all walks of life in Xia Guo.
Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Similarly, Bristol-Myers Squibb also has weaknesses."
"He likes to play dirty, of course we can do that too."
Chen Xiao said to Gao Miao: "Go out and inform Qu Ping to convene a high-level meeting immediately. I have something important to announce."
Gao Miao didn't expect that Chen Xiao would sweep away the fatigue just now, and now he would be confident!
