Chapter 403 Commercial Espionage
The news of the major breakthrough in the research and development of the African Z vaccine naturally reached Gao Yuan’s ears quickly...
"Oh, it was successful again..."
Tang Yun twitched the corner of her mouth, and she was not surprised.
Not showing a strange disappointed expression like last time is already a good expression management...
Even key human medical breakthroughs such as Alzheimer's disease are not alarmed at all. It is normal for a pig vaccine to perform so mediocrely, right?
Gao Yuan's lackluster performance on this technological breakthrough certainly does not mean that she does not take it seriously.
On the contrary, she has already listed this pig vaccine technology as a recent development priority for Evergreen Biotechnology.
It's just that Gao Yuan is already somewhat immune to similar good news, so it's really not a "surprise".
No way, that guy’s bragging seemed to come true in the end...
"Although the sample data is insufficient, a large-scale trial is needed to verify the effective protection rate of this technology.
However, since the success rate of the small-scale trial is 100%, the data in the next stage will not be too great. Bad.
It seems that we need to proceed with the next stage of commercial deployment in advance.”
Gao Yuan did not forget what Meng Lang did when he gave her this technology. predict.
Since all the bragging has come true, of course I cannot take the warning given by others lightly...
"Director Gao, was the vaccine production line you purchased before prepared for this technology?"
Of course Jiang Wenming was very excited when he heard the news of the technological breakthrough. This means that Evergreen Biotechnology A big ship will go further.
But what surprised him was Gao Yuan's preparation.
It was as if she had already expected that the company's technology would break through, and even the production line was prepared in advance.
Isn’t this self-confidence too much?
"That's right." Gao Yuan smiled ambiguously.
“The next stage of our company’s development strategy is to start with animal vaccines and transition to human vaccines.
In addition, we must not only conduct scientific research in related fields, but also expand our production lines and fully engage in The entire industrial chain of R&D, production and sales!”
Jiang Wenming can hear Gao Yuan’s ambition from between the lines.
This big cake made Jiang Wenming feel a little excited.
"Don't worry, Director Gao, as soon as the technology is implemented, our production line will be put into production immediately!"
However, Gao Yuan shook her head.
"Not enough! Even if this new production line can be put into production immediately, the maximum annual output is only 5 million doses of vaccine, which is far from enough."
"Uh... Director Gao , you mean to continue to expand production capacity?" Jiang Wenmin looked surprised.
“Yes, I hope that within half a year, our production can reach more than 100 million doses per year!”
"Hiss~"
Jiang Wenming and Tang Yun both took a breath of cold air at the same time.
100 million doses? More than that? !
Isn’t this appetite too big?
“This... Director Gao, after all, this is a new area we have just entered.
Nowadays, sales channels have not been opened up, and it will take some time to open up the market. "Jiang Wenming frowned.
"Yes, Director Gao, I also think that it is safer to wait until our products are put into the market and see the market response before further expanding production capacity. "Tang Yun also echoed.
"Haha! "Gao Yuan smiled and shook her head.
There are currently no reports about the African Z virus in China, and ordinary people are almost completely indifferent to this virus.
So Jiang Wenmin and Jiang Wenmin are not aware of it yet to see how significant this technology is.
Gao Yuan is currently the only person within the company who understands the complete technical details and development potential.
According to the news that Professor Zheng brought back from there, there is already an intention to cooperate with them in the North Country, and they hope to apply for technology authorization from them, or even directly purchase products.
Relatively speaking, the profit that technology licensing can bring is of course far less than that of direct sales of products.
Vaccines are recognized around the world as a "profiteering industry" with gross profit margins generally as high as over 90%!
In other words, if you sell a vaccine for 100 yuan, 90 yuan is profit, and the huge profit is comparable to Moutai!
It is precisely because of this terrifying profit margin that "vaccines" are recognized as a shining pearl at the pinnacle of medical technology, attracting all the top pharmaceutical groups to flock to it...
Relatively speaking, the gross profit margin of animal vaccines Although not as exaggerated as the human vaccine, it is well over 80%!
The key is that according to the technical expectations given by Meng Lang, this vaccine strain can be efficiently cultured in primary pig bone marrow cells.
The primary cells of one healthy piglet can prepare at least 200,000 doses of vaccine. As long as there is a production line, the conditions for large-scale production are fully met!
Gao Yuan made a rough estimate of the market. In the northern country alone, nearly 40 million pigs are slaughtered every year.
Not to mention, China is a major pig-raising country with nearly 700 million pigs slaughtered every year.
Coupled with the fact that Second Brother from all over the world has "suffered from the Z virus in Africa for a long time", the market demand...
100 million doses, this is still a conservative plan that Gao Yuan did not dare to go too extreme. !
"It will be too late until the market reacts. You must have confidence in the technology developed by Professor Zheng!"
Gao Yuan did not want to explain anything more to the two of them. After all, Meng Lang's prediction was It is not a secret that can be disclosed casually...
"That's it, Manager Jiang. You will be specifically responsible for expanding production capacity as soon as possible. I will give you full autonomy, and the company's finance side will try its best to cooperate with you."
Meet Gao Yuan Jiang Wenming said with a wry smile.
“Okay Director Gao, I understand, but this production capacity cannot be expanded in a day or two.
Even if we want to directly acquire the existing production line, at this time There hasn’t been a suitable seller for a while.”
“The seller… there really is a ready-made one!” Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"Ah? Who?"
"Changchun Biology!"
"Uh..."
Jiang Wenmin and Tang Yun were stunned when they heard this.
Changchun Biology and the others are naturally no strangers. After all, it can be said that their company was able to turn around from a desperate situation only by stepping on each other's scandals.
But... that's a listed company!
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Director Gao, you really dare to think...
"As far as I know, before the incident, Changchun Biotech's original vaccine production capacity was 50 million to 8,000 per year Thousands of doses.
The original production line has just been upgraded to expand production, increasing the annual output by 10 million.
As long as we can acquire the other party's production line, our production can barely meet the requirements. "
Although industry requirements are different, the production technologies for animal vaccines and human vaccines are actually from the same source.
In other words, Changchun Biotechnology’s production line can be directly used to produce the pig vaccines that Gao Yuan needs with a slight modification...
But...this is whether the output can meet the requirements. question?
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Gao Yuan just smiled.
"Haha! What? Do you think it's impossible? I think you haven't paid close attention to Changchun Biology recently."
She pulled out a piece of information from the file next to her and pushed it over.
Jiang Wenmin took the document and read it with some confusion. The more he read, the more surprised he became.
According to the latest information collected in this information, Changchun Biotech has so far reached 31 consecutive limit-downs, setting a new record for the longest consecutive limit-down in A-shares.
The market value that originally exceeded 20 billion is now only 3.35 billion!
The tens of thousands of investors who bought this stock can be said to have lost nothing but their pants. The stock bar is already filled with mourners.
To make matters worse, 18 suspects, including Chairman Gao Fangjun, were submitted for approval, and the Food and Drug Administration issued a huge fine of up to 9.1 billion yuan!
Changchun Biology, which is already in dire straits, will definitely not be able to come up with this money.
A simple analysis can lead to the conclusion... Changchun Biotechnology is now completely insolvent!
Bankruptcy is only a matter of time...
"This..." Jiang Wenmin looked at Gao Yuan in surprise.
Have you already made plans for this person?
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why this extremely detailed investigation information appeared on Gao Yuan's desk.
Good guy, not only did you get to the top by stepping on the opponent's scandal, but now you have to peel off his skin and cramps, making the best use of everything...
Are you so cruel?
For those who don’t know, I thought I had a blood feud with this Changchun creature...
"Given the current situation of Changchun Biotechnology, selling assets to pay off debts is their only way out.
Now the relevant production lines of this company have been completely suspended. Only a few security and duty personnel are still on duty, and business activities are full Shutdown.
Taking into account asset depreciation and capital costs, The longer this process drags on, the greater their losses will be.
If someone wants to buy their production line at this time, they will probably use it as a lifeline.
And we need to consider it. The question is just the price to pay!”
Hmm... Although I was intimidated by listed companies at first, it didn't sound realistic at first.
But now after a little analysis, Jiang Wenmin and his wife gradually came back to their senses.
It seems... they do have the opportunity to take advantage of the bottom line...
As for the question of how much to pay... isn't it just a question of money?
Jiang Wenmin immediately raised another question.
"But Director Gao, you have taken away almost all the company's working capital. How can we still have the money to buy these production lines now?
Although the company's operating conditions have improved a lot during this period, Some profits have been increased, but the cost of acquiring shares in upstream suppliers is huge.
It may be impossible to get money out in the short term. ”
Jiang Wenmin’s tone. There is quite a bit of complaining in it.
Jiang Wenmin did not know the specific situation regarding Gao Yuan's investment in Bai Yeji and the acquisition of Bincheng Shipyard.
After all, he is just the manager of Evergreen Biotech.
Unlike Tang Yun, Gao Yuan has deliberately trained her to be his right-hand man, so she can have access to some "group-level" affairs of Wanwu Holdings.
So Jiang Wenmin only knew that Gao Yuan had taken the money away, but he did not know what it was used for.
The withdrawal of working capital, in Jiang Wenmin's view, is naturally a sign that Gao Yuan's emphasis on the company's business has declined...
Gao Yuan did not take it seriously.
"Manager Jiang doesn't have to worry about money."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Jiang Wenmin was a little surprised.
"Mr. Jiang, has he forgotten that in addition to the ordinary department, we have another department that can already start making profits." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"Huh? What department?" Jiang Wenmin was stunned for a moment.
“R&D department!” Gao Yuan smiled.
"These days, we have contacted many medical groups from all over the world.
They have shown a strong intention to cooperate with our 'Alzheimer's disease early prediction technology'.
The Victor Research Institute has even offered an annual grant of 10 million U.S. dollars. The price is high, and I hope we can license the technology and win the regional technology agency in Beiguo.
As long as we liberalize the technology licensing, we can conservatively estimate that we will have more than 200 million US dollars in licensing revenue!”
< br>"Hiss~" Jiang Wenmin took another breath of cold air.
He knew that technology was valuable, but he did not expect that this newly developed technology would be so valuable.
The licensing fee alone can make a net profit of 200 million per year, which is still US dollars! ?
This is already more than the profits of Evergreen Biotech in ten years combined...
It can only be said that Jiang Wenmin's vision is limited by his imagination.
For some major medical technologies, the annual technology licensing is sky-high!
Especially in "Alzheimer's disease", a popular field with a huge number of patients and huge market potential.
Every technological breakthrough means the birth of a cash cow...
“I plan to reserve the area south of the Yangtze River in China as a private reserve for evergreen organisms and build our own related downstream industries
In this way, we can have extra cash flow for production lines. Acquisition plan.”
"It turns out that Director Gao has already planned this..."
Jiang Wenmin could only express his admiration for Gao Yuan's foresight.
As for the authorized area...
Evergreen Biotech has a limited volume and cannot eat all the markets at once. It is already the limit to retain the market south of the Yangtze River and develop it by itself.
Rice should always be eaten one bite at a time.
"Director Gao, do you need me to go to Changchun to discuss the acquisition?"
Since Gao Yuan had already made a comprehensive plan, Jiang Wenmin naturally wanted to show his determination. Shifting supportive attitude.
But Gao Yuan shook her head.
"I'd better make the trip myself. During my absence, Manager Jiang will be solely responsible for the affairs of Evergreen Biotech!"
Jiang Wenmin was stunned when he heard this.
Since taking over Evergreen Biotechnology, Gao Yuan has been busy with many things and has been unable to get away from her. This is her first business trip.
Soon I felt a little excited.
The leader is not here, but he has entrusted the affairs of Evergreen Biotechnology to himself. What is this?
This is the trust of the leader!
But when he glanced at Tang Yun next to Gao Yuan, some of his excitement immediately cooled down a bit.
Although Tang Yun seems to be a little lower than him in terms of position, but when it comes to closeness and distance, Tang Yun is a proper "confidant"!
With this supervisor in the company, how dare I do anything random?
"Don't worry, Director Gao, I will definitely cooperate with Director Tang to take good care of the family!"
Gao Yuan is still very satisfied with Jiang Wenmin's "informed knowledge and interest".
Smiled, "That's hard work!"
Tang Yun asked after Jiang Wenmin left the office.
"Director Gao, don't you need me to accompany you to Changchun this time?"
"Haha! Your precious daughter has just returned to China. I am going on a business trip this time. Are you willing to do it? ?”
Gao Yuan glanced at Tang Yun and smiled.
"Uh..."
Tang Yun did not expect that Gao Yuan would know about her daughter's return to China.
"Long difference? Director Gao, how long do you plan to stay in Changchun?"
"If the negotiation for the acquisition goes well, it will only take a day or two to finalize the general conditions, and the rest will be left to us. The accompanying team will be responsible.
But I have to go to two places this time.”
“Where?” Tang Yun was a little surprised.
"Wushi, and Yangcheng."
"Huh?"
Changchun, Wushi, Yangcheng... This is almost a tour of the country, no wonder it's a long distance.
"Going to Wu City... Do you want to go to Mengshan Animal Husbandry?" Tang Yun quickly thought of Gao Yuan's purpose.
"Well! It's been a long time, so it's time to go and see it, after all..."
Gao Yuan didn't say anything else, but there seemed to be some expectation in her eyes.
"I can understand the inspection of Mengshan Animal Husbandry, but what about Yangcheng? We don't seem to have much business in Yangcheng, right?"
Gao Yuan smiled.
"Business secret!"
"Uh..."
Tang Yun was very curious, but seeing Gao Yuan's showy look, she didn't continue to investigate.
It just seemed like he suddenly thought of something, and he said with an embarrassed expression.
"Um... Director Gao, if it's not too abrupt, can you let me be a commercial spy for a time?"
"Huh?"
Gao Yuan was stunned. Don't you think your question is very abrupt?
