Chapter 7 Qingshan Pharmaceutical
“Start a company? Pharmaceutical company?!”
Ren Xiaomin was confused.
“Well, that’s right.”
Zhang Yang nodded.
In fact, since he obtained the crystal form patent and synthesis route of "Avatrombopag" yesterday, he has been thinking about how to make good use of this patent.
After much deliberation, he came up with two options. One was to sell the crystal patent to other pharmaceutical companies. It was initially estimated that he could get at least 100 million in fees, which was enough for him to live a luxurious life. .
The other is: use this patent to establish your own pharmaceutical company.
It is difficult to choose between the two options.
The cost of 100 million may seem like a lot, but compared to the profit after the launch of "Avatrombopag", it is definitely a loss.
And starting a pharmaceutical company is even harder.
Not only does it require a large amount of capital investment, but it also requires the introduction of a large number of professional talents.
This is not his strong point.
But looking at Ren Xiaomin in front of him, he suddenly changed his mind.
Don’t you, Beifeng Pharmaceutical, like to fire employees?
Just what I want!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang stopped beating around the bush and said:
"Brother Ren, you should know about the foreign 'avatrombopag tablets', right?"
"To tell you the truth, I accidentally discovered it some time ago A new compound, its platelet-increasing effect is almost the same as that of 'Avatrombopag'!"
"Now I have completed the pharmacokinetics and toxicology related experimental results, and they are all the same! Very good.”
"So... next I want to promote clinical trials and eventually achieve market sales."
Ren Xiaomin also calmed down at this time.
Of course he knows about "Avatrombopag Tablets"!
The world's top platelet treatment drug has excellent therapeutic effects on a variety of blood diseases.
However,
He was not shocked by the announcement that he had discovered a new compound similar to avatrombopag. On the contrary, this kind of thing is actually very common in the biopharmaceutical industry.
For example, metformin is used to treat diabetes.
In the past two decades, in order to develop better diabetes drugs, numerous pharmaceutical companies around the world have synthesized many new compounds in laboratories, some of which have reached or even exceeded the effectiveness of metformin in treating diabetes. But what in the end?
Most of them have not been heard from.
There is no other reason.
As a "veteran" who has been in the industry for more than ten years, he knows very well that animal experiments and experiments with activated substances are just the beginning.
Many newly discovered compounds have performed very well in animal experiments, but once they reach the second and third clinical phases, they either have many side effects that are difficult to control, or the therapeutic effect is far from expected, and ultimately they are not effective at all. Failed to pass clinical trials.
So, animal experiments alone do not make much sense. It is simply impossible to start a company or go public based on this alone.
However,
He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yang with a serious face.
However, in his impression, Zhang Yang is not the kind of person who talks nonsense and brags when his brain gets hot.
Ren Xiaomin was thinking, and Zhang Yang's mind was racing rapidly.
In fact, he had no confidence that he could convince Ren Xiaomin.
Let’s not talk about the credibility of just a few words of his own. With Ren Xiaomin’s ability, he can actually find a good job very easily. There is no need to go to this muddy beach. water.
But it all depends on people, you have to try it!
Thinking of this, he continued:
"Brother Ren, I am serious. You can set a price in terms of salary."
"And if you have other conditions, you can also Mention it!”
“In short, I can accept the conditions as long as you ask.”
Ren Xiaomin was moved by his sincere words.
However, deep down, he really wasn't optimistic about Zhang Yang's prospects.
After hesitating for a moment, an awkward smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Zhang Yang apologetically:
"Zhang Yang, I..."
Zhang Yang understood instantly and felt slightly in his heart Sighed. This is also human nature.
He hid his disappointment and said with a smile:
"It's okay, I understand."
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and made an excuse:
"Brother Ren, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll leave first."
"Yes."
Seeing Zhang Yang go away, Ren Xiaomin couldn't help but sigh, his eyes full of apologies.
If he were ten years younger, he would definitely accept Zhang Yang's invitation without hesitation.
However, he is no longer young, and he has no more choices.
Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at the office building in front of him quietly, memories flooding into his heart.
He entered the company when he was 24 years old, and spent the next 15 years of his youth here. 15 years, but what about now?
He shook his head, feeling a little sad.
The final result was that he was suddenly fired at the age of 39, and the company was not even willing to pay him severance compensation.
Is it worth it?
Not worth it!
He turned around holding the small cardboard box and looked back in the direction Zhang Yang left. Suddenly, Zhang Yang's sincere words just now sounded in his mind again.
"Brother Ren, I'm serious,..."
"Brother Ren, you can make whatever conditions you want."
Suddenly, he was touched.
Seeing Zhang Yang getting further and further away, he suddenly took a deep breath and walked quickly in Zhang Yang's direction.
“Zhang Yang, wait!”
Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment and stopped.
A moment later, Ren Xiaomin had already arrived.
"Zhang Yang, I've thought about it! I'm willing to join your company."
"But forget it about technical shares. After all, I don't have any technology at all. Technical shares are too much for you. It’s cheap!”
“As for the salary, let’s wait until your medicine is actually used in clinical trials!”
Zhang Yang was surprised and happy, but he didn't expect it to take a turn for the worse.
But before he could speak excitedly, Ren Xiaomin continued:
"By the way, has the company decided on a name?"
Zhang Yang shook his head.
"In this case, I have a good name, Qingshan Pharmaceutical, what do you think?"
"Qingshan Pharmaceutical?"
......
Zhang Yang was overjoyed with the transfer of Feng Hui Lu. After chatting for a few more words, the two quickly agreed to meet in the afternoon for a detailed discussion.
Zhang Yang immediately changed his original itinerary, first went to the Labor Bureau to submit an arbitration application, and then went to the Patent Office to submit a complete set of patents for "Avatrombopag".
At this point, we have to briefly introduce drug patents.
In fact, the patent of a drug is not just a single patent, but consists of multiple subdivided patents such as "compound patent", "crystal form patent", "preparation patent" and "synthetic route".
Zhang Yang has confirmed that the "Avatrombopag" provided by the system is completely different from the foreign "Avatro" patent, and there will be no patent risk.
In other words, he can even think of another name completely!
But after thinking about it, now that "Avatrombopag" is well-known around the world, using the same drug name saves me the trouble of publicity.
In the end, he decided to only add a few words to "Avatrombopag Tablets" to distinguish it as domestically produced.
The full registered name is:
"Qingshan Avatrombopag Tablets".
After submitting all the patents, the time came to noon. After simply padding his stomach, Zhang Yang took the prepared materials and met with Ren Xiaomin again.
