Chapter 208 Chapter 207 The Power of Umbrella
Umbrella posted some heated discussions going on at this time.
Since the emergence of Umbrella, this forum has slowly changed from a game enthusiast to a supporter of real-life companies.
Moreover, most of the original game enthusiasts also completed the conversion directly and simultaneously, because Umbrella is such a powerful company, and they are happy to do so.
There is a feeling that the imaginary things that I originally liked have become reality.
"Umbrella is so cool, the 'Red Queen' will soon dominate the Internet."
"It wouldn't be surprising even if it changes directly to Skynet."
"With this AI function, I have become a painting master."
"It's as if no one is a master of painting, and I have become a programmer."
"I remember when 'We Are Home Around the World' said that Umbrella has a very strong foundation. I didn't know what it meant before, but now I understand!"
"Yes, it was just a lens at first, and I didn't think it had anything to do with it. Although it is very useful, I really didn't know there was such a high technical content. I didn't expect that this lens actually involves a special culture medium. Stone-removing medicine is also out.”
"Yeah, I majored in materials science. When I first got these glasses, people were numb. Can resin have such properties? I questioned it online at first, and my face was swollen. At that time, I felt safe. Brera is a master of materials science, but it turns out that he is a biology major.”
"+1 from Materials Science. We were discussing in class that sooner or later, Umbrella, which was born out of nowhere, would gain a place in the field of lenses. However, the lens turned out to be useless. Carl Zeiss was doing well, but companies like Huawei, Johnson & Johnson, and Pfizer collapsed. Blood mold.”
"Careful."
"Sinomax's CIBA and Johnson & Johnson are both top brands in contact lenses. They were attacked by A1 at the beginning. Now, no one still knows about A1, right?"
“Chili oil is a must-try in Kaifeng, Dong Ge’s pioneering work!”
"Now that A1 production has slowly increased, CIVA and Johnson & Johnson's contact lenses are no longer a problem, and the business has shrunk severely."
"I see. You said that the medicine Umbrella created hit them again?"
The shameless netizens were originally here to discuss the ‘Red Queen’, but it slowly turned into a discussion about the tragic history of several pharmaceutical companies.
But at this time, the elusive "Family Around the World" appeared again and posted a new post.
"I found that someone is discussing Umbrella's impact on pharmaceutical companies? I have to say a few words again."
Seeing the big boss coming and going, many people stood at attention and listened.
"I have uploaded the cause and effect to my TT account. You can check it out. If it is convenient, please support me."
Good guy, ‘We Are Home Around the World’ understands traffic...
But even though he was advertising here, I have to say that he really spent a lot of effort to understand the investigation, and he was very close to the truth.
Directly borrowing the formats of those popular science video hosts, I created a series of videos of several episodes.
You can see that ‘We Are Home’ put on an exaggerated funny mask to explain in front of the video
"Everyone may be paying attention to the recent situation of Umbrella. Do you still remember the two accidents I talked about last time? Anyway, after those two accidents, there are no off-market moves against Umbrella. They are the only ones. Exposing the issue of academic fraud has attracted some indifferent people to jump over the wall..."
These all came into view with the press conference of "Red Queen". Many netizens are aware of this. If they are not sure, they are asked to check it out themselves. Therefore, "We Are Home Around the World" just mentioned it in a cursory way. Question below.
Let’s still look at the picture to speak, which shows Huano’s stock price.
Since the launch of A1 glasses, the stock prices of Huannuo and Johnson & Johnson have begun to plummet. After all, the profits of contact lenses are huge, even if they are not core modules, it has hurt the two groups.
The stock market is always a place to look at confidence, so even if A1 production was not high at the beginning, it was directly reflected.
Later, they managed to pull back the stock price with some good news. One of the good news that is very important to Huano Company is the sales volume of Gleevec!
"Everyone, don't you need me to popularize Gleevec? The "God of Medicine" produced by World Company is a masterpiece! And Gleevec is one of Huano's flagship products. Of course, here we need to learn from the two Judging from the direction, although Huanuo is expensive That's right, but the drug they developed has indeed saved many people's lives. This is undeniable. However, this drug has been sold at a high price for more than ten years. Not only has it paid back, but it has also made a lot of money. The bowl is full.”
‘Family Around the World’ specially checked the annual reports of Huanuo Company over the years, and dug out the sales volume of Gleevec for everyone to see.
In fact, from the movie "The God of Medicine", we can know how high the sales of this medicine are. Even if the price is tens of thousands, the key is to take this much every month and keep taking it!
This method of bone-breaking and marrow-absorbing is what arouses people's disgust and resistance!
"Hua Nuo's annual profits from prescription drugs alone are about US$40 billion, and Gleevec accounts for one-tenth of their company's profits from prescription drugs. Think about this concept."
Everyone made a calculation, good guy, Gleevec has earned tens of billions of dollars for Huanuo Company in more than ten years!
No matter how much R&D funds Huanuo invested, it would have recovered many times!
No wonder, no wonder that even though the research and development costs of new drugs are so high and the payback period is so long, there are still top pharmaceutical companies flocking to them!
"Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical industry is a winner-take-all industry. They have technical barriers and first-mover advantages. It is actually very difficult to catch up now. Maybe in the middle of R&D, they will find that the pharmaceutical giant has already produced a finished product. This This kind of costly trial and error is not something that ordinary companies can afford.”
‘We are at home all over the world’ even sighed with emotion, but then brought out Umbrella’s latest hematopoietic stem cell culture!
"So, once Umbrella's technology begins to become popular, Gleevec will almost withdraw from the stage of history. Since the contact lens market, Huano has suffered heavy losses again, so they should have adopted a curved approach."
< br>
After that, ‘Family Around the World’ posted some notices from Europe and the United States. For the time being, they only allow this kind of experiment, but they are not yet allowed to enter clinical practice!
Only a few top approved hospitals can try it.
On the contrary, in China, the green light is all the way, the speed is very fast, and an official announcement has been made to remind doctors to go and study, and even start cultivating cells in advance!
For a moment, the netizens who saw this also felt a little surprised.
Capital took action to intercept Umbrella's new technology, or in other words, delayed the application of this new technology as much as possible!
As long as you delay for one day, Huanuo's medicine can be sold for one more day!
This...
"This reminds me of Purdue Pharmaceuticals before. This kind of incredible thing is inexplicable and feels very reasonable."
"It is indeed very reasonable, because it would not be surprising if the approval of medical technology is delayed for several years or even more than ten years, but the patients who need this technology are a bit pitiful. Maybe those who can't wait will fly to us for treatment. .”
Many comments were made with emotion under the video of We Are Home Around the World.
However, the matter is not over yet, Four Seas Home has listed a series of new lists. It is an all-English list, but now it is easy to understand with simultaneous translation.
"This is the sales ranking of a single drug."
Seeing this list, some people immediately went to shit.
I thought Gleevec should also be among the top profit makers, right? However, it didn’t even make the top ten in this list!
The number one company sells more than 10 billion US dollars per year!
The latter ones are also worth billions of dollars or more.
Then through translation, everyone unconsciously focused on the second-ranked medicine.
The name of the drug is Hawanid, produced by the pharmaceutical company Gilead, with annual sales of $9 billion.
There is only one main treatment, and that is hepatitis C!
"Everyone should have discovered Huadian. Yes, it is hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is relatively unfamiliar and rare in China. The main outbreak in the country is hepatitis B. However, the number of people infected with hepatitis C worldwide is still close to 200 million, and this one is called Hawani. Medicine is a drug that can cure hepatitis C
"The mechanism of action of this drug is actually very similar to that of traditional antiviral drugs. However, it does not inhibit various enzymes or broad-spectrum antiviral drugs. Instead, it inhibits two necessary proteins required by the hepatitis C virus to prevent the replication of the hepatitis C virus. , and then rely on our body’s own immunity to slowly eliminate the virus. It is a specific drug for hepatitis C. A course of treatment costs nearly 100,000 US dollars for 12 weeks.”
Seeing this, everyone took a breath for a moment.
A course of treatment costs close to $100,000?
No wonder annual sales totaled $9 billion!
"No wonder I posted this picture, I understand."
"The day Umbrella conquers hepatitis C will be the end of this drug."
"Terrible!"
"However, after making a comparison, I suddenly discovered that hepatitis B-specific immune globulin can solve the problem for 700 yuan per course of treatment and up to three courses of treatment. My conscience is really exploding!"
"Umbrella deserves to make money!"
There is no harm without comparison. In fact, ordinary people really didn’t know the concept of some prices of Umbrella before.
Many people also joked that with so many patients in the country, Umbrella has made a lot of money.
But now I realize that they could obviously rob, but they didn’t!
Umbrella didn't say it would raise the price to 100,000 US dollars, just raise it to 100,000 US dollars, and cure hepatitis B with almost no side effects. It's fast, and there will still be a large number of patients willing to take the treatment!
As long as one percent of patients are willing to spend this money, Umbrella can earn more than it does now!
This specific immunoglobulin also needs cold chain transportation, and it needs to be cultured in a special culture medium, which costs money. How can they make so much when they are full?
This comparison really makes many keyboard warriors confused.
Especially the voices of ‘check’ and ‘have you donated?’ have all disappeared. At least the Umbrella company doesn’t dare to say such things!
"No wonder, no wonder it was on the news network. No wonder after the hematopoietic stem cell cultivation technology was given the green light, it directly called on doctors to learn it! At first, I really thought that Umbrella had adopted some unspeakable means to speed up the process. I was too superficial. ”
"Me too."
"Oh my god, seven hundred yuan..."
"And as soon as the hematopoietic stem cells were cultivated and the operation was slowly completed, Gleevec was almost destroyed. Even the generic drug in the movie cost five hundred yuan a month to continue to eat. And This can be solved once and for all and can solve the crisis of almost all leukemia patients.”
"I am superficial."
“Superficial +1”
"Blow up."
"Wait a minute, weren't we originally discussing the 'Red Queen'?"
"The 'Red Queen' also exploded."
"Umbrella exploded."
"I have a hunch that Umbrella may really become a company like this in the game."
"It is worthy of the overbearing name Umbrella. If it is this company, I will recognize it!"
"As expected of Umbrella!"
Obviously, Umbrella started out with contact lenses, and then learned a practical lesson. We are engaged in biology, oh, and a little artificial intelligence...

The third update is completed! Please order more!
My wife has started to have a fever. It is inevitable that I will be infected. Now I am worried about my mother and daughter. My mother has just had surgery and my daughter is only three years old and has not been vaccinated. Alas...
Anyway, I will try my best to update. If I can resist, I will resist. After all, I rely on this to make a living. Cutting off updates is the same as cutting off food.
But after all, it’s a viral infection, and I’m not sure what will happen in the end. I hope it can be gentle...
