Chapter 695: Stupid People with a Lot of Money Part 2
Pfizer is the world's top pharmaceutical company. Although it is not the largest in the world, it is not too far behind other companies. Founded in the middle of the last century, it was originally a small company that made chemical products. Later, it entered the field of chemical pharmaceuticals, and then made a fortune during the American Civil War, becoming one of the largest chemical pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in the United States.
After antibiotics were discovered, Pfizer entered the field of antibiotic manufacturing and grew into one of the pioneers of fermentation technology, which also allowed the company to grow further.
At this time, World War II broke out, because Pfizer was able to provide cheap penicillin, making it the largest supplier of penicillin to the rice army in World War II, and the company took off again.
Then the company developed the broad-spectrum antibiotic oxytetracycline, including tetracycline, piroxicam, etc., all of which brought huge profits to Pfizer.
It is worth mentioning that most of Huaxia's oxytetracycline and tetracycline at this time are also produced by Pfizer. And because tetracycline is cheap and effective, it is widely used in large quantities, and a batch of...tetracycline teeth were born!
After Pfizer discovered the benefits of drug research and development, it invested a lot of money in it, and the direction of research and development was the drug with the largest market demand.
Such as antihypertensive drugs, cholesterol-lowering drugs, rheumatism drugs, analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs and their world-leading antibiotic drugs, etc., of course, including some anti-cancer drugs.
And Pfizer's performance is also very gratifying, with new drugs being launched continuously, each of which can bring a lot of profits to the company.
The reason why Pfizer can become one of the giants is because they have many patented formulas of drugs, which can bring them huge profits within the 20-year protection period of the drugs. And even after the protection period, they can still guarantee a price advantage because they have the most mature production methods.
Coupled with their brand effectiveness, they will still be able to get a steady stream of profits from these drugs.
Now Boss Feng actually said that he wanted to buy their patented drug formula. How can this be? When did you hear that Pfizer would sell the patented formula it developed? Unless the patent protection period is approaching, it is only possible.
"Mr. Feng, I can't make the decision to promise you this matter, because the patented drug formula is the company's most important asset." Victor said hesitantly.
Feng Yu looked very dissatisfied: "Wealth, isn't it for selling money? You haven't heard of my quotation yet, how do you know that the company won't agree? Besides, haven't you sold patented formulas before?" ?"
Feng Yu's words are rough,
But it does make sense. Develop those drug formulations. The purpose of applying for a patent is to create wealth, not to benefit the patients as they preach at all. If it can be sold at a high price at this time, it seems good.
But at present, the drugs developed by the company are all drugs that the company believes are in great demand in the market after research. How can they sell the patented formula?
But it can't be sold, maybe it can be authorized? If you can come up with a sky-high authorization fee. Perhaps the company can also give him a lot of rewards. Money is secondary, the most important thing is to allow him to be transferred back to the United States and reunite with his family.
"We haven't sold the patented formula, but authorized it to be produced by other companies. If Mr. Feng wants to license the patent, then we can still talk about it." Victor said cunningly.
Licensing? Shit, isn't that the money you earned, most of it was taken away by you? Bingcheng Pharmaceutical also has its own drug research and development laboratory, and now there are many professional research and development personnel. There is no need to buy the other party's patent license.
Feng Yu is interested in a drug that is about to be developed by Pfizer, a drug whose "side effects" are found to be more effective than the original research direction - Viagra!
This is a new drug researched by Pfizer for the treatment of angina pectoris. Anti-thrombotic, anti-hypertensive drugs, etc. can be developed, and after clinical trials are found, the efficacy of the drugs is simply frustrating.
It can be said to be a complete failure. There will be no market for this kind of drug with minimal efficacy.
However, they found that many clinical trial personnel secretly hid the drug, and some bold R&D personnel discovered the "side effect" of this drug after taking it by themselves, that is, it can make men get erections frequently.
So the R&D personnel decided to change the direction of R&D and conduct research on this as a drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. After the report was submitted, Pfizer also conducted market research for nearly three years.
It was not until the beginning of this year that the real trial was started, and it was found that the effect was surprisingly good. Basically, 80% of the people showed significant improvement after taking it.
It's not that there were no similar medicines before, but all of them were injected, and the effect of the injection was not so good. Who is still interested after giving himself an injection before doing business?
Before Feng Yu sent someone to contact Pfizer to test whether he could buy the drug formula, but found that the other party was already conducting clinical trials, that is to say, by the time he wanted to buy it, it was already too late.
How could it be possible for a world-class company like Pfizer to buy the formula of the drug with a little money. Although Feng Yu asked someone to offer a high price, the other party still did not agree. The caliber is the same as that of Victor. If it goes on the market in the future, it can authorize the patent, but it will not sell the formula.
How can Feng Yu be satisfied with the patent authorization? He wants more, and wants to make this medicine his own. But now it seems that the difficulty is very high, Feng Yu can only play one game.
"Victor, do you think I will be the one who pays patent licensing fees to others? What I want is to buy some formulas, some formulas for treating diseases, any disease can be treated, semi-finished products are fine, I don't choose. In terms of price, you will definitely be satisfied." Feng Yu said carelessly.
Feng Yu only knew that Viagra was a pde5 inhibitor application, and in his previous life, there was not only one Viagra, but at least two similar drugs. Feng Yu only needs to buy the formula of the pde5 inhibitor, and how to study it later will be much simpler.
And as long as there is a formula, Feng Yu can guarantee that the drugs produced by Bingcheng Pharmaceutical will be on the market earlier than Pfizer's, because China's supervision in this regard is not as strict as that of the United States, and the title of the world's number one is given by Bingcheng Pharmaceutical. If it is won, the sales of medicines in the future will definitely be better than those of other companies.
When Victor heard Feng Yu's words, his heart moved. Semi-finished products are also ok? Doesn't that mean that many of the company's prescriptions that have failed in research can also be sold to him?
This Boss Feng is so rich, a typical person has a lot of money, if he can sell some semi-finished products to him and reduce the company's research and development costs, wouldn't he be a great achievement?
With this credit, he should be able to apply for transfer back to the United States, right?
"Mr. Feng, if semi-finished products are also available, then I can ask for you." (To be continued.)
