Chapter 18 No one is a good man or woman!
He Youcai was shocked and felt a strong chill.
“The results of their second clinical phase are really good, and we can’t do anything at this time!”
“But! We can find a way to make a fuss about the third phase clinical trial plan. , for example - the minimum number of trial participants in Phase III clinical trials! ”
“The minimum trial number ”
"Yeah!"
Ding Jian's eyes were cold and expressionless.
“That’s right, aren’t they the most short of funds?”
“Then give them the minimum number of people for clinical phase III trials to 2,000!”
“2000 It will take at least 5 years and tens of millions of experimental funds. Where can they get so much money?”
"I just want to push them to a dead end, so that their only option is to sell the patent. As long as they sell it, I will have a way to buy it!"
Hiss!
He Youcai couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
He already understood the meaning of Ding Jian's words.
Originally, according to normal conditions, with the good clinical phase II data of "Avatrombopag", about 500-700 people should be enough for the third phase!
Now the sudden increase to 2,000 people will not only increase the clinical trial time by more than three times, but also triple the required costs!
This directly cuts off any possibility of Zhang Yang advancing to the third phase alone!
He glanced at Ding Jian secretly.
I have to say, it’s so cruel!
“What are you looking at? Why don’t you go quickly?”
"Okay, okay, boss, I'll go right away!"
......
Beifeng Pharmaceutical began to take action, and the entire pharmaceutical industry was undercurrent.
Zhang Yang has been feeling a lot more relaxed these days. Since the end of the second phase of clinical recruitment, large expenditures have been eliminated, and the financial pressure that was on the verge of collapse has finally been relieved.
According to his plan, he will start talking to major pharmaceutical companies next.
Sure enough, just as he imagined, on the third day after the release of the second phase clinical data of "Qingshan Avatrombopag", the first domestic pharmaceutical company came to visit.
It’s not Hengrui, it’s another second-tier domestic pharmaceutical company.
Zhang Yang personally received the other party, and the other party also expressed great interest in "Qingshan Avaqupopa", and everything was developing in a good direction.
However, when it came to price in the end, the price offered by this domestic second-tier pharmaceutical company was very cheap, and the two sides had great differences.
On the fourth and fifth days, two more domestic pharmaceutical companies came to contact us. The talks were still very pleasant, but when they finally discussed the price or cooperation method, the other party's quotation was completely unsatisfactory. expected.
Until Hengrui Medicine came in person today, Zhang Yang had already noticed something was wrong.
"Zhang Yang, how much did Hengrui and the others give when they left?"
In the office, Ren Xiaomin asked anxiously.
"70 million, and it is a complete buyout without any subsequent commercial terms."
"This is too low, it is impossible! What is the reason? It is impossible for Hengrui and the others not to Knowing the huge commercial value behind 'Ava', they can't offer such a low price! ”
"That's right!"
Zhang Yang nodded. At this moment, he already realized that there must be something wrong!
If other second- and third-tier pharmaceutical companies may misjudge the commercial prospects or therapeutic effects of "Avatrombopag",
As China's top pharmaceutical company, There is no way Hengrui would make such a stupid mistake!
So, what is the reason?
"Brother Ren... you have a lot of contacts in the pharmaceutical industry. Why don't you ask your friends around the corner? See if there is any special news in the circle recently?"
Ren Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily. "Then I'll go out and make some calls now to ask!"
A few minutes later, Ren Xiaomin left and returned, but his face became gloomier than when he left just now.
He said in a low voice:
"Zhang Yang, I asked about the news. A middle-level employee who works at Hengrui told me that recently many people in the industry are saying that we are short of funds and there is no way to continue to advance the third phase of clinical trials!
Waiting now Someone came to buy the patent, took a lot of money, cashed it out and left!"
Zhang Yang felt a thump in his heart, as expected, someone was up to something!
No wonder these pharmaceutical companies are obviously very interested, but the final quotations are simply outrageous, TMD, they are trying to take advantage of themselves!
Ren Xiaomin is also full of anger. Qingshan Pharmaceutical has only been established for a few months. It has no conflict of interest with other pharmaceutical companies at all, let alone offending anyone!
But TMD...
"Who is behind it?"
"Who else can it be!"
Zhang Yang reacted suddenly.
“I am 100% sure that it is Ding Jian! He is the only one who knows our details best, and he is the only one who has issues with us!”
"In this way, we completely change from active to passive!"
Ding Jian?
General Manager of Beifeng Pharmaceutical!
Ren Xiaomin was suddenly stunned. After a moment, he realized that the most likely person was the former boss Ding Jian!
It’s just, too cruel, right? !
The atmosphere was a little solemn for a while. After about a few dozen seconds, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
"Then what should we do next?"
"What should we do?"
Zhang Yang shook his head, equally confused.
It can be said that Ding Jian's sudden intervention completely disrupted his plan. He knew very well that the people in the domestic pharmaceutical companies were by no means good men and women. Knowing that he was short of funds, it was absolutely impossible for him to give him any money. High price!
But when I first got "Qingshan Avatrombopag", I estimated that the price would be at least 100 million!
Now that we have passed the second clinical phase after hard work, Hengrui will give us 70 million? !
I’ve been busy for a while and it’s still a loss?
Isn’t this bullying?
Thinking of this, he suddenly exhaled a big breath!
"Don't push me, I don't believe that these domestic pharmaceutical companies don't want it, and foreign pharmaceutical companies don't want it?"
"If you push me, I will sell to foreign pharmaceutical companies!"
One Hearing this, Ren Xiaomin couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere between the two relaxed a lot.
He could tell that Zhang Yang was talking angrily.
“Yes, you can sell it to anyone, but don’t sell it to foreign pharmaceutical companies. If netizens find out, they must not scold you bloody!”
"When the time comes when those self-media continue to set the pace, you will turn into a traitor who sells good drug patents to foreign countries regardless of your compatriots at home in minutes!"
Zhang Yang's mood also eased, and he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice:< br>
“Hey, I have to say, this Ding Jian is really ruthless, now I’m really in a dilemma!”
“I don’t think it’s worth it. If I don’t sell it, how can we spend it on the third phase?”
But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of another possibility!
He said anxiously:
"Brother Ren, can you calculate now, if we only need 600 trial subjects for the third phase of clinical trials, and do not give any subsidies to patients, how much money will we spend at most? ! ”
