336 Medical Theory
Jiang Xin and the senior executives of Refractory Medicine were having a cordial exchange.
Chen Liangze and Liu Man walked to the construction site of the expanded laboratory building.
"I heard that you spent five million to expand this building?"
How much money does the boss spend? In fact, it has nothing to do with employees, but Liu Man is a more responsible person.
She thought Chen Liang had money but had nowhere to spend it, so she felt that it was a waste to renovate the experimental building.
“This investment is worth it and will create great returns for me in the future.”
Chen Liang looked at the dirty construction site, his eyes as if he was looking at a monument.
Liu Man smiled.
This guy is really too immersed in the show.
"You won't say that to that Mr. Jiang, right? You're going to overcome your terminal illness?"
Chen Liang turned his head and looked at her.
"It's no point in discussing this issue now. Why don't we study it? It's better to price the drug after it is developed."
Liu Man's smile widened and said, "The injections for treating spinal muscular atrophy are required to treat spinal muscular atrophy, and the medicine for treating terminal illnesses costs at least 7 million, right?"
Chen Liang looked serious, and seemed to be unable to hear Liu Man's teasing intentions, and thought, "Will it be too expensive?"
He really knows nothing about drug pricing.
"expensive?"
Liu Man said: "Overyone must think it is expensive for a few milliliters of medicine and water, but they have never thought about why it can be sold so expensively."
"Copying is not difficult, it is rare to create. Drug molecules are not difficult. It is difficult to know why this drug molecule is difficult. Just like developing an operating system that costs hundreds of billions of yuan, it may not be able to develop successfully. If you copy the same code, the pirated disc will only be sold for five yuan. What he still has to make is because one is creation and the other is copying."
“Creation starts with its cost.”
Just like giving Chen Liang a ignorant science to him, Liu Man has a serious way of doing things.
"The average time to develop a new drug is 13.5 years, which is just a investment in R&D. If capital factors are taken into account, the cost is as high as 100 million US dollars, this is a conclusion that some institutions have conducted special research and statistics."
"What's even more cruel is that you may not be able to successfully develop the research and development after working hard to spend money and energy. From selecting targets to screening lead compounds, then to the 123rd phase before clinical optimization, to the final application for marketing, from the initial project establishment to the launch of the market, do you know the success rate in more than ten years?"
Chen Liang naturally couldn't answer.
“4%.
“Only 4% success rate.”
At this time, Liu Man was full of the demeanor of a doctorate and intellectual, standing in front of the construction site and talking freely.
"Any problem at any link will lead to a failure of R&D. For example, the sars vaccine has encountered difficulties in phase 3 clinical trials and has not been developed yet. The cost of these failed ones is borne by the pharmaceutical company. So do you still think that 700,000 yuan per drug is expensive?"
I have to admit that a doctor is a doctor. He explained it directly and hit the nail on the head, which gave him a deeper understanding of the pharmaceutical industry.
Chen Liang shook his head and sighed.
"This is not like what a doctor said."
"I'm just talking about the matter."
Liu Man said: "Although medicine is used to cure diseases and save people, the essence of medicine is still a commodity. If it is a commodity, you have to follow the market rules. I am not a line from the God of Medicine. There is only one disease in this world, that is, poor disease. We have no reason to blame the pharmaceutical factory, because the high drug price has never been decided by the pharmaceutical factory, but the market."
"A lithography machine has hundreds of millions and a production line has tens of billions, but why does a mobile phone only cost a few thousand yuan? Because billions of consumers share R&D costs and fixed costs, while the patient population of rare diseases is extremely limited. SMA, Als, the patients with these diseases have only hundreds of thousands of patients nationwide, and the consumer group is limited, so the amount shared will inevitably be high."
"That means that if I have developed a magical medicine for treating terminal illnesses, what is my price limit? "
Chen Liang answered.
Upon hearing this, Liu Man paused and was speechless.
She said so much in a long and verbose way, but it seemed like she was playing the piano at a cow, and this guy didn't understand the key point at all.
She did not want to stand up for the pharmaceutical company, but just took the opportunity to show that the difficulty of developing drugs was not easy, so that this guy could retreat.
But the results are good.
This guy is completely wrong.
"For more than ten years, can you afford to wait? And it may be a waste in the end."
She further reminded.
Chen Liang was unmoved and looked at the busy construction site.
"Why do you always look at the problem pessimistically? Didn't you just say that the average is more than ten years? In other words, there must be fast and slow. I believe that there are many good medicines developed in a very short time. Dr. Liu, I have confidence in you."
It's useless for you to have confidence in me.
The key is that I don’t have confidence in myself.
Liu Man smiled bitterly in her heart.
In fact, after all, it is a very lucky thing to meet such a boss. He is generous, generous, approachable, and full of trust in himself.
But Liu Man has a difficult feeling of dying for his confidant.
on the contrary.
She felt that she had encountered a fool.
And it's hopeless.
She tried to persuade her again and again at the risk of losing her annual salary of five million yuan, but the other party was not grateful at all and insisted on doing it alone, as if she was just pointing it out and was expressing four words.
——Money and willful.
In this regard, Liu Man felt that he had done his best and had no need to waste his words. At worst, he could get a salary of one or two years and then leave.
...
"Where have you been?"
Chen Liang returned to the administrative building.
Jiang Xin walked over immediately as if no one was around, and stood close, almost close to Chen Liang.
certainly.
No surprise to others.
The idea that Liu Man had was not just her own opinion.
In fact, when the young and beautiful Jiang Xin appeared, everyone had their own conclusions about her relationship with Chen Liang.
"I talked to our chief R&D engineer and she taught me a medical class."
"That Dr. Liu?"
Liu Man, who values both beauty and talent, naturally left an impression on Jiang Xin.
At the meeting and when she was giving a speech, the other person looked at her with a different look.
Others were smiling, admiring, and polite. Only this female doctor had a dull expression throughout the whole process and didn't even look at her much.
According to the rules, such "thorns" will generally be used to establish their authority.
"Well, I took a lot of effort to poach her. She is a doctor at Peking University Medical College, the youngest director of the third doctorate, and is an excellent representative among women."
"You are very familiar with her?"
Jiang Xin asked with a smile.
"It's okay."
Jiang Xin nodded and did not ask again.
Although Liu Man is beautiful and talented, she cannot pose a threat to her.
Chen Liang asked her to be the general manager, not Liu Man, which is enough to show that she is close and distant.
The most important thing for her now is to make achievements, not to be jealous.
"She is an expert in the pharmaceutical industry. If you don't understand anything, you can ask her."
"I see."
