Chapter five hundred and nine, diet pills that can make money more than apples

Of course, no matter how excited these volunteers are, they cannot intercept the crown prince of the country and the chairman of the company at the door. After missing the cousin, everyone walked into the company one after another.

At this time, the company that had just taken office, Osville Spencer, had arrived at the door. The former president of Pfizer Group Europe, also headquartered in London, would certainly not be afraid to face Prince Charles. Everyone immediately visited the company.

"That area is the area for receiving test volunteers." Spencer led everyone into an office area. There was a black-clad security guard in charge of the handle at the entrance of the corridor. Alice explained to her that this was the mercenary security stationed by her Blackwater International.

In a large room separated by the glass wall, more than a dozen volunteers were receiving injections of weight loss pills and post-observation. According to the experimental steps set by professionals, after injecting the drug, they still need to stay here for an hour for initial observation. Then they will have a follow-up visit one day, a three-day review, and a week for a large cycle of 1 month or even three months to observe whether there is a rebound or allergic condition.

"In this process, we will ask volunteers to live according to the prescribed recipe." The person in charge introduced himself as a Ph.D. from the University of Hong Kong. When the crown prince was curiously observing the situation in the house, he also gave an explanation to everyone in the corridor.

"So what's the specific effect?" Talking about technology with an outside shareholder is to play the piano with a cow. Charles is only interested in one thing: "How much dosage can you lose how much weight? How much cost?"

"Our current agents have mild efficacy. On the premise of a healthy diet, an average dose of 50 l can make an average obese person lose two pounds of fat in a week."

The person in charge's explanation was concise and the information was clear. Charles looked at the room from a distance, and the volunteers were like injection patients, looking at magazines without any worries, or chatting and laughing with each other.

"Two pounds a week are indeed amazing, but it must be a healthy diet? If I eat junk food all day long, one week will be enough for me to raise the meat back again, right?"

This time it was Alice's turn to smile and said, "Yes, that's why we have a business, otherwise wouldn't it be a one-time deal? I'll save two pounds of meat a week, and if I don't control my diet, it's even more extreme, I can get back two pounds of meat a week, and then they need to buy our products."

Waiting by the side, Spencer did not forget to joke: "By the way, it has also promoted the development of the food industry."

Everyone laughed, and after visiting the place, they walked through the layers of people to the general manager's office. This place was originally where Alice was in charge, but since she had moved her nest to Alice Building in Los Angeles, she was naturally given to Spencer, who took office.

"Our company already has the ability to directly produce drugs, because Pfizer has sold one of its pharmaceutical factories to us, with the qualifications to produce some inherent products." Alice said this, and signaled to Spencer with a smile. The acquisition of the pharmaceutical factory and poaching were carried out at the same time. Since this person has resigned, it certainly also means the success of the pharmaceutical factory's acquisition.

"But we have not started production immediately, His Royal Highness," Spencer said calmly: "They were acquired. The personnel changes of specific employees need to be adjusted. After all, not everyone is willing to leave Pfizer Group. Similarly, the group's original sales channels will not be open to the protective umbrella unconditionally. We still need to discuss with each seller to make the pharmaceutical factory's products available."

As a simple investor, the crown prince only cares about one thing: "So what medicines did this pharmaceutical factory originally produce? How much is the monthly sales?"

"Aspirin, penicillin, and a range of drug names that you must have never heard of. If you need it, I have a list here. Do you need to take a look?"

Of course, Charles had to shake his head and choose. Just kidding, it would be fine for national-level drugs, such as aspirin. As for other messy prescription drugs for treating coronary heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage, and gastrointestinal discomfort, what can he do if he read it? What can he understand?

But since he talked about the drug list, another matter naturally came into his mind: "Alice, Mr. Spencer, have you named this new weight loss pill?"

This matter must be left to Alice for answering: "That's right, Charles, you have always known the effectiveness of our new drug. Exaggeratedly, if you don't care about sustainable business and customer experience, if you take a high concentration in one injection, even a standard super fat man can become an ordinary little white-faced in one or two days. So, even if we are interested in controlling its efficacy now, this product will definitely gain the status of aspirin and penicillin in related fields, right?"

It is true, and it is precisely because of this that the British royal family, as investors, is so concerned, and helps to build a research institute and the crown prince is visiting this time. Nowadays, the market for weight loss drugs is too huge, and the potential profit of this new drug is enough to shock anyone. If you really want to be put on the shelves with this current effect and gain a penicillin level industry status, it is not just a casual talk.

"yes……"

"Yes, yes. So, we have to give this product a loud and catchy name, right?"

"Alice, you are still a part-time writer, so let's talk about your ideas."

Spencer couldn't help but stilt his ears, after all, this was a very important thing.

"Soma, what do you think of this name?"

Everyone present looked at each other. For a moment, no one thought that the word had any special meaning. But looking at Alice's confident look, it was obvious that the name should have some source, and it was not made up by her temporarily.

"Soma, wait, I seem to have some impression." After a moment of wondering, then what Prince Charles thought of first: "I remember "The Beautiful New World" in the dystopian trilogy. It seems that the drug that people use is called Soma!?"

"Bingo, you answered correctly!" Alice smiled happily: "Think about it, do people in "Beautiful New World" just eat a soma just like we just drink water if we have nothing to do?"

"Ah... "Beautiful New World"! Yes, I have an impression too!" The second one immediately reflected was Li Zekai. Poor Spencer, as a European, was the most confused one.

"Wait, how do you have a novel with me..."

"This is a political satirical novel created by the British writer Aldos Huxley in 1931 and published in 1932." Li Zekai explained to the poor European with great enthusiasm: "In this conceived future world, although everyone lives and works in peace and food, they have no worries, but their family, personality, and even joys, sorrows and sorrows have disappeared. Humanity has disappeared and has become a group of slaves destined to be identities and destiny under strict scientific control."

"In that world, babies are completely cultivated by test tubes and dumped from laboratories. They do not require books, language, or childbirth. Those who do not need responsibility also become legitimate entertainment for people to numb themselves..."

"But this and that..."

"Soma, Mr. Spencer, I'm about to end here. In that world, anyone with a little emotional problem, whether it's anger, sadness, or anything, as long as it's not happiness, will immediately take the initiative to numb themselves with a drug called 'Soma'. The popularity and frequency are so high, and the terrible degree of voluntaryness is like drinking water when a person is thirsty!"

"It is also one of their main entertainment methods." Alice interrupted with a smile: "Of course, we don't do drug business, but Charles, don't you think our weight loss pill is equivalent to another kind of soma?"

It seems that this is what it is when someone is guided to associate the past.

At least at present, this weight loss pill has not tested any toxic side effects. Not only is it extremely efficient to lose weight, but the rebound effect has not been found. A 50l syringe can easily lose two pounds of meat in a week. In this way, if a person's appetite for mouth is above the average, isn't it just injected frequently like drugs?"

"It's really like this..."

Charles couldn't help but start to ponder. This scene was completely as Alice expected. Well, although Charles could be regarded as the most unlucky crown prince in the world, but he was also a gray-haired clan, of course he was different from that stupid Bush. He used his brain when he should. How could his crown prince of the British Empire be a fool?

"So, if our 'Soma' is really on the market, it will definitely have a huge impact on many related industries around the world. The high rise of the catering industry is certain, but other weight loss pill products will definitely be hit by an unprecedented impact. At the same time, the gym will also lose a large number of passenger flow, but the sales of fitness products such as mountain bikes and barbells will also increase..."

The crown prince has started working as a marketing manager, so how can the company's CEO be calm? So Spencer immediately showed his presence: "So we need to formulate two strategies. One is to prepare to endure the joint confrontation in the pharmaceutical industry, unless we agree to share patents and produce them together; the other is to increase the price of the product as much as possible, and don't make it as cheap as aspirin and other products. As long as the popularity is reduced, the competitive pressure will naturally be reduced a lot."

The first sentence makes sense, but the next sentence makes people laugh, especially Alice.

The pharmaceutical industry, when did it not make huge profits? It actually needs to further increase its selling price. This is like trying to compete with Apple for money-making level?
