In European and American countries, conducting clinical research, especially drug research, really costs money.

Take the new drug omeprazole, for example.

Asrila Pharmaceuticals has invested US$500 million, and the advertising and promotion expenditure for the first phase alone is US$20 million, which does not include subsequent investment.

It can be said that if you want the whole world to know that you have such a good drug, the cost of publicity and distribution alone can be equal to the cost of research and development. If it is not a consortium or big capital, it will not be able to play in the pharmaceutical industry.

Advertising alone is not enough. We also have to cooperate with internationally renowned medical experts and medical associations. This is another huge investment.

For example, Aslila Pharmaceuticals wants to cooperate with internationally renowned hospitals and well-known professors such as Mayo Clinic or Cliff Clinic.

You want to exclusively sponsor a major project for them, but if you don’t have $5 million, please step aside.

If a drug can become the exclusive drug for a common disease after a certain research project, it is routine practice for those pharmaceutical giants to invest tens of millions of dollars in project funds.

So 2 million US dollars, plus a lot of harsh conditions, is really the minimum standard, so low that Denilson is embarrassed.

This is only given out such a small amount of money under the joint recommendation and guarantee of the ICPF Medical Association and Professor Segel, which feels a bit like sending a beggar away.

To put it nicely, I feel sorry for your research team, but to put it badly, the manufacturer still doesn’t trust your research team 100%.

But for Chen Qi, especially Lan Lijuan, US$2 million is definitely a piece of pie in the sky.

At present, in the entire country of China, which professor, or which research group of experts and authorities can have so much money?

Even if you are an old expert (academician) at the level of a member of the academic department, if you apply for a project with the country and break your leg, you may be given tens of thousands of yuan.

For 2 million U.S. dollars, if you go to the bank and exchange it at the official exchange rate, it will come to 7 million yuan.

This amount of money is more than enough to buy a Yuezhong Fourth Hospital.

So Lan Lijuan was so excited that she held Chen Qi's hand tightly without letting go. She was full of confidence and fighting spirit in both her research and future career plans.

Chen Qi, on the other hand, pays more attention to the "money" itself. He wants to see results within 3 years with US$2 million. Is this a high requirement?

To others, this requirement is very unreasonable. Results must be produced within three years, but who can guarantee 100% in medical research?

But for Chen Qi, isn't it just "quadruple therapy"? Why bother studying it?

Let alone 3 years, if you give him 3 hours now, he can write out the entire clinical research conclusion, which is guaranteed to be the most authoritative and the most able to withstand clinical testing.

Moreover, according to the unspoken rules in the industry, the person in charge of the project can personally take away 50% of the money, which means that Lan Lijuan can put 1 million US dollars into her own pocket.

Some university professors in later generations were more ruthless.

The project is completely left to my own graduate students, and they are given a monthly subsidy of several hundred, one thousand, and when the results come out, it is equivalent to all the project fees falling into the professor's personal pocket.

What's more, if the project is successful and the conclusion is drawn, omeprazole can be quickly promoted in the international market, and there will be US$2 million in rewards.

Professor Segel does not participate in sharing the money, and Professor Zhang Chunyi is actually along for the ride. He can just sponsor her other projects.

That is this money. Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan, the two project leaders, have absolute control rights and therefore absolute profit rights.

Have you gotten rich yet?!!!

Can I buy more houses?!!!

Chen Qi has been fed up with the complicated interpersonal relationships in public hospitals throughout his life. His dream is to open a tertiary-level hospital by himself after the policy is open.

To open a large general hospital, my dear, the investment would be over a billion.

Moreover, the medical industry is an industry with heavy investment and slow results. Even future capital is unwilling to enter this industry (unless it is a certain field), so it can be seen that a large amount of capital is required to accumulate.

For example, buying a tumor radiation therapy equipment TOMO starts at 50 million;

Force dual-source CT, priced at 30 million yuan per unit;

In addition, you have to buy several 15 million MRI machines, 10 million digital subtraction angiography machines, etc.

Another example is building a fully equipped ICU ward with more than 20 beds. You can't get it without 100 million, and the money will just flow out.

Then he should start to accumulate slowly from now on. Of course, the more money, the better. There is no shame in making money through his own labor.

The two parties negotiated very happily and signed the contract the next day.

Chen Qi kept an eye on it. The subject of the contract was not the Yue-China People's Hospital or the Yue-China Fourth Hospital, but the contract was signed in the name of the couple.

This is to prevent some people from getting pinkeye again. When the money comes to China and is transferred to the hospital's account, it will be a wolf in the tiger's mouth.

These days, it is commonplace to misappropriate scientific research expenses. If it is 2 million U.S. dollars, I will be thankful to have 200,000 U.S. dollars for the research team.

It is best to cooperate with foreign pharmaceutical companies in your own name. They are sponsoring you personally and do not involve national or collective interests. All project fees are kept personally.

Peace of mind.

Lan Lijuan was in a happy mood after successfully completing the task. At the invitation of Professor Segel, she went to visit Karolinska Hospital, which is one of the top ten hospitals in the world.

Chen Qi will officially start participating in the ICPF annual meeting.

At this annual meeting, Chen Qi once again played the leading role. He performed 5 public teaching surgeries alone and 10 flying knife surgeries.

It can be said that Chen Qi has become the best in the world in terms of maxillofacial plastic surgery.

If nothing else, let’s just say that his service fee for flying knives has been at the top level. There is no point in bragging about anything else. The amount of knife fees reflects the level of a certain doctor.

But just because Chen Qi felt that he had done his best, he understood that he had reached the end of his career in the plastic surgery profession.

He has already exceeded the tasks assigned to him by Dean Guo.

Now that he has a reputation, money, and social status, he finally has a place in the domestic medical circle.

It's time to switch to another surgical specialty...

On the plane back, Chen Qi looked at his wife with a happy face, but still felt sour in his heart.

After working hard for so many days and performing so many surgeries, I only received US$500,000 in flying knife fees and US$50,000 in teaching surgery fees.

The result was still not as good as his wife’s. He easily got 2 million U.S. dollars, and even without the follow-up, he could make at least 1 million in net profit.

This made Chen Qi realize the gap between elementary subjects and major subjects.

Chen Qi previously worked on a project on tubular nose and performed a teaching surgery, but there were no investors.

If Japan’s Professor Ken Hashimoto hadn’t wanted to take advantage of the situation, he wouldn’t have been able to get even $100,000 in sponsorship for teaching surgery.

This is because the audience is different, and the influence is also very different.

The ICPF Cleft Lip and Palate Society is far from comparable to the WCOG International Society of Gastroenterology. One is a rare disease and the other is a common disease. Obviously common diseases have more market value.

Lan Lijuan touched her husband lightly: "Hey, Chen Qi, how do you think we can start applying for this project after we return to China?"

Chen Qi thought for a moment and said sourly:

"Two million US dollars will definitely cause a sensation across the country. I'm afraid you will become a celebrity in the medical circle by then, and your reputation will be far greater than that of me, a cleft lip doctor, so there will definitely be many people who want to join your research group.

You must remember that this research group can only be placed in the Vietnam-China People's Hospital. Don't be fooled into going to the Provincial No. 1 Hospital or any other national-level hospital.

In Yuezhong, Director Guo and I are protecting you. Director Sun and Director Fan are also familiar with us. When you are in the People's Hospital, you alone have the final say on what you want to do.

But if you go to a higher-level hospital and face a large number of professors and directors, what qualifications do you, a young doctor who has only been working for a few years, have to lead a research group? Once the leadership is no longer in your hands, $2 million is not enough for them to divide.

."

Lan Lijuan is a little dissatisfied:

"Don't always worry about money. We have enough money to spend, but we can't fight with others for money. Besides, as doctors, we must first think of how to better serve the people, not how to serve the people."

RMB service!"

Chen Qi thought to himself that this silly wife of his was so kind and thought so well of people's hearts. She was obviously still the same as in the ivory tower.

"Okay, let's not talk about money. In this way, Professor Zhang Chunyi will definitely participate in your research group. So after you arrive at the People's Hospital, you will propose to Director Guo to establish a new Department of Gastroenterology."

"Establish a new department?"

"Yes, set up a gastroenterology department to specialize in patients with gastric diseases. This will make it easier for you to carry out clinical sterilization experiments. You have to try the several treatment options I told you one by one to see which treatment has the best effect. Then a

Expert consensus.

If you have gastric problems that cannot be dealt with by internal medicine, then you can transfer them to me. You can rest assured of my surgical skills and I will ensure that the operation is perfect. When the time comes, you will be in charge of internal medicine and I will be in charge of surgery. We will strive to specialize in gastrointestinal diseases.

, and also break into a new world."

Chen Qi didn't say a word. In the future, Lan Lijuan will do hepatology and he will do liver surgery. The two couples will be able to monopolize the hepatology department and become No. 1 in the world. This is the most awesome thing.

This proposal obviously moved Lan Lijuan's heart.

This is a couple making progress together and engaging in a certain specialty together. If they really succeed, it will also be a good story in the domestic medical circle.

"Sure, I'll do as you say. But if you plan to steal the business of the Department of Surgery of the People's Hospital, aren't you afraid that Director Guo will beat you to death?"

"Hey, Lao Guo won't beat me to death. He wants to trick me into working in the People's Hospital."

"Then when will you go to People's Hospital?"

"Wait a minute, the Fourth Hospital cannot do without me now. Let's wait until I get the Fourth Hospital on the right track. Brother, I am only 24 years old and have a lot of time to waste. Don't be in a hurry and don't put too much pressure on yourself!
