Chapter 54 Showdown
"Hi, Yulia, where are your four bodyguards?" Hu Wenhai looked left and right and asked in confusion.
Yulia tweaked her hair with her hands. Today she actually put on some makeup, and her behavior exuded a faint charm. She was incomparable to the last time Hu Wenhai saw her.
"That's not my bodyguard." Yulia walked away with her long legs in high heels and walked to the gate of the laboratory building. She greeted Hu Wenhai and the guards, then pushed open the door and walked out.
"They are my relatives and have taken Xiaomi home before." She explained, made a gesture of invitation, and sent Hu Wenhai into the experimental building.
"Oh, that's it." Hu Wenhai nodded, and did not continue to ask other people's private affairs, but instead asked questions that he was interested in: "My commission was completed so quickly? Your design efficiency is very high!"
"It's still a little bit." Yulia shook her head, as if she was shy about not completing her job: "This time I'm calling you Mr. Andrew. I think it's probably because his clinical trials have progressed."
"Oh, that's it." Hu Wenhai knew very well. Perhaps the real use of the blue pill has been discovered in the clinical area.
This seems to be something that is inevitable in Hu Wenhai's opinion. Pfizer in history can discover it, but it is unreasonable that Lengquan Port cannot find it. Moreover, with the immediate effect of the blue pill, a man may not be willing to hand over this drug that has greatly increased the majesty.
The only question now is, what is Lengquan Port’s attitude?
Fortunately, this answer did not make Hu Wenhai wait for too long. Andrew received him in the living room next to his laboratory and threw him straight to the point and gave him an agreement.
"Lengquan Port Laboratory hopes to acquire the patent for sildenafil citrate in Mr. Hu. I wonder what Mr. Hu has to ask?"
Although Lengquangang Laboratory is a non-profit organization, it is not synonymous with "poor and forced", but is actually a tall, rich and handsome man who can do human gene sequencing projects in the 1980s, but can't even burn hundreds of millions of dollars.
But no matter how rich Lengquangang Laboratory is, it will never dislike its own money. It holds the patent of the blue pill in its hand. Whether it is forming a subsidiary or cooperating with other large pharmaceutical companies to produce it, its profits can even support Lengquangang Laboratory to complete its human genome plan by itself.
No scientist will dislike his glory too much and too great. If it were not for failure to achieve it, Watson would not actively promote international cooperation in the Human Genome Project.
And now that such an opportunity to fall from the sky is presented with people with both hands, how could he be polite?
Hu Wenhai did not look at the document on the table, because he had already been confident in his heart.
Although Pfizer Pharmaceutical has a long history, it was only a first-class large pharmaceutical company before the new century, and it was absolutely impossible to say that it was a big deal for selling antibiotics during World War II.
For a long time, although Pfizer Pharmaceutical has been pioneering in the field of antibiotics, there is no shortage of choices for antibiotic types in the world. It cannot be said to be a unique business, so what you earn is naturally hard money.
It was not until the new century that the emergence of the small blue pill made a decisive blow to Pfizer's peak at the biological industry. From 1998 to 2009, Pfizer's market value increased by at least a hundred times, reaching a scale of more than 200 billion US dollars.
In other words, the value of this company is nearly 2 trillion yuan. Similarly, you can see what kind of tsunami the 4 trillion plan thrown out by China during the same period caused in China's macroeconomics - and Pfizer may achieve similar results with its own value.
And such achievements are ultimately brought by those little blue pills. This really shocked many people. It turns out that men's lower body economy is an economic engine that can be less than the electronics industry!
How much does it cost to sell such a patent? Hu Wenhai really wants to ask Andrew, can you afford it after selling all the Lengquan Harbor Laboratory?
However, Lengquan Port Laboratory has a reputation after all, so Hu Wenhai is not unwilling to give them a chance.
Hu Wenhai put his elbow on the armrest of the sofa, crossed his hands and stroked his chin - he said, "Lengquangang Harbor Laboratory is willing to cooperate, of course I welcome it..."
"It's not cooperation, it's acquisition." Andrew interrupted Hu Wenhai's words with a tough voice, and unquestionably stipulated the basis of the conversation.
"It doesn't matter, it's up to you." Hu Wenhai smiled and did not care about it, but continued: "As for my requirement, it's very simple, a signing fee of one billion US dollars, and a patent usage fee of 10% of the product's final price."
The truth in the world is often not tempted by human will. Hu Wenhai also knows that the higher the voice in negotiations, the more weak the people are. However, truly strong people do not like to speak loudly, but whisper, but make people have to listen quietly.
As soon as Hu Wenhai said, the reception room suddenly became silent, as if there was no sound of breathing.
Andrew was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He looked at Hu Wenhai as if he had seen a ghost, staring at him in amazement and said, "Billion dollars? You're sure!"
The gritted teeth seemed to be as if the cannibals in the Amazon jungle were preparing lunch.
"Mr. Andrew misunderstood." Hu Wenhai smiled and saw that Andrew was obviously relieved, and then said: "This billion is just a signing fee that agreed to authorize. In addition, the real patent usage fee is 10% of the final selling price of the product."
"Are you crazy? This is impossible." Andrew shouted in anger without thinking. After feeling that he was being tricked.
"Oh, then there's nothing I can do." Hu Wenhai shrugged and said innocently: "I think maybe other companies will be interested in sildenafil, after all, Lengquan Port Laboratory wants to acquire it."
"Well--"
Andrew was just a scientist, but not a professional businessman after all, so he realized that his eagerness gave his opponent the initiative. But it doesn’t matter, Lengquan Harbor Laboratory has a killer weapon.
"Wow, I think Mr. Hu is a misunderstanding. Lengquangang Laboratory just thinks this medicine has value for further development. Although we are interested in it, it does not mean that it is worth a lot."
Andrew cursed in his heart that "crawling and greedy Chinese" and had to open the document and hand it to Hu Wenhai and said, "You can see that the effect of this drug in clinical trials is not very good and has no advantages. Lengquangang Laboratory is willing to invest 10 million to acquire the patent for this drug, mainly because it believes that the idea of this inhibitor is promising, not how much your drug is really worth."
Obviously, the report Andrew gave Hu Wenhai was never fake. At least Lengquangang has no shame to do it. But to be honest, not telling the whole truth, this is a common method in business. If someone is deceived by this, it can only make the other party a famous success story in the business school textbooks. No one will blame this method because it is just a discovery of "a market that others have not discovered."
In this report, the clinical efficacy of sildenafil citrate on angina pectoris is indeed quite average, and the effect of mainstream drugs in the market is very different. If the price is completely based on market rules, this kind of thing may not even be collected from the one million US dollars of commission paid by Hu Wenhai.
From this perspective, Lengquangang Laboratory is actually quite conscientious? The premise is that Hu Wenhai doesn’t know the true value of the blue pill, so he feels this way.
"Since that's the case, I won't bother everyone in Lengquan Harbor Laboratory." Hu Wenhai closed the document and threw it back to Andrew, and said irresistible: "I have a plan to continue to develop sildenafil. I think since this road can be recognized by Lengquan Harbor, it must be promising. Since that's the case, hehe, I will continue to invest myself, and there is no need to sell the patent just like this."
Andrew sat down again and advised with a bitter taste: "However, I don't recommend you to do this. You should know that Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is the world's top molecular biology laboratory. We have the ability to carry out research and development. Maybe it would not be possible if it were other laboratories, or it would take several times more time to complete it. IMHO, the US patent law stipulates that patents must be industrialized within three years, otherwise the patent authorization will be cancelled."
"Oh, this is not a problem." Hu Wenhai said generously: "This is exactly the reason why I commissioned Lengquangang Laboratory to develop production technology. I can first produce in small batches and then put it into the market."
"So, Mr. Hu doesn't plan to sell the patent to Lengquan Port Laboratory?"
"Sorry." Hu Wenhai ignored Andrew's threat and said relaxedly: "At least $10 million can't touch my attention."
"That's a pity..."
"Yes, it's a pity, but this is business."
"Yes, business." Andrew actually sighed and echoed Hu Wenhai, then got up and walked to the door of the lounge next to the reception room, and pushed open the wooden door there.
"Please allow me to introduce it." Andrew said, pointing to a white man coming out of the lounge. "This is Baldwin, a patent attorney at Baker Law Firm in New York. He is commissioned by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory to be responsible for the patent dispute between Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and you on sildenafil drugs."
"Hello, Mr. Hu from China, you can call me Baldwin. This is my business card." Baldwin wore a well-fitting black suit, hand-cut and close-fitting, and looked like an elite style.
"Oh, it seems that Lengquan Port Laboratory is not as pure as I thought." There was no trace of surprise on Hu Wenhai's face.
