Chapter 734 A thousand birds in the forest, it is better to have a bird in hand(1/2)
Liu Qingshan placed a bag of dried yew seeds on the table, and the peel outside was wrinkled.
Then I put a few pellets into each person's teapot, and the boss came to the kettle and soaked it in boiling water.
"Let's drink this today. Drink it frequently can prevent diseases." Liu Qingshan brought a cup to everyone.
Everyone knows that this thing is precious, so they take it carefully and wait for a while before they can taste it carefully.
The taste is a little bitter, but it exudes a natural fragrance, which feels pretty good.
Especially those foreigners, they ended up eating the peels outside the seeds.
Of course, I know that the paclitaxel content is the most abundant among the seeds of yew.
This principle is similar in nature: the best things will always be left to future generations without hesitation.
After drinking a cup of tea, Liu Qingshan said:
"We have collected a lot of yew seeds this year and are ready to be used to extract paclitaxel. However, we do not have this technology in China, so we are looking for partners in the international community."
When he arrived at the negotiating table, Kevin became formal, and his face was a little regretful:
"Liu, I thought you changed your mind and planned to use those adult yew to process it."
If you just have seeds, how many seeds can be? It is probably similar to grasshopper legs. If you eat without meat, it is a pity to throw them away.
Kevin knew that there were many adult yew trees in this mountain, and he thought it was a big business.
Thinking about the last time I had a contact with Liu Qingshan, I knew that this guy was very stingy and of course he would not cut down big trees.
Liu Qingshan also smiled: "A thousand birds are worse than a bird in the hand. Mr. Kevin, having is worse than not."
The resources of yew in the world are very limited, and only a few countries in East Asia are distributed. It is precisely this reason that the price of paclitaxel is extremely expensive.
So in this market, whoever can master the raw materials can take the initiative, otherwise, Kevin and the others would not have to come all the way.
Liu Qingshan was not in a hurry because he knew that Pfizer would definitely agree to the cooperation.
Even if they don't expect to produce a large amount of paclitaxel, as long as there is a small amount of production, it will be enough to provide a small group of special people in the company that need to be in contact with.
Xiao Li was sitting next to him with his finger in his arms. He was here to have a walk and play, so of course he would not get involved.
There is also Zheng Hongqi, who also sat next to Xiao Li as an audience member. He believed that Liu Qingshan could handle this matter even better than he did.
If it weren't for politeness, he would have gone home to carry the children.
As for the people from the village committee, they basically just come and listen to it, and they don’t understand it at all, so it’s better to say less.
If they can sell the harvested yew seeds at a good price, they will complete the task.
Kevin also had a headache. He had dealt with Liu Qingshan and knew that the other party was a very principled person.
The most important thing is that people are not short of money, so it is impossible to engage in any interest exchange.
After thinking for a while, Kevin asked, "Liu, how many yew seeds can you produce every year?"
Liu Qingshan looked at Captain Zhang. He had been busy digging truffles these two days, and he really didn't know the specific situation.
Captain Zhang coughed: "There are more than 30,000 kilograms now, all of which are processed. I guess it can be picked for more than ten days, with a total of 50,000 kilograms."
"It's still too few." Kevin shook his head: "Liu, why not do this? We can buy your yew seeds directly. Please rest assured that the price will definitely satisfy you."
His proposal is of course the most convenient way to do it, one buys and the other sells, and the cooperation is pleasant.
However, Liu Qingshan didn't think so. Whether he made money or not, secondly, he mainly wanted to introduce equipment and technology, sell raw materials, etc., which was the least technical approach.
So he also smiled and shook his head: "We have no plan to sell."
At this time, a Kevin assistant took over the conversation: "Sir, our price is absolutely sincere. Our purchase price per kilogram of yew seeds is fifty dollars."
In his opinion, this price is already very high for a backward country, and it is definitely a price that can make the other party jump up and cheer.
But he was soon disappointed because not only Liu Qingshan didn't react, but even the old branch secretary and others who were clattering their little cigarette pipes looked calm.
The assistant misunderstood a little and emphasized again: "That's fifty dollars, and if it's your currency, it's two hundred!"
The old branch secretary glanced at him and gently hit the small pipe on the sole of his shoe:
"Nothing is really a big deal. The truffles produced in our village cost more than one hundred dollars per kilogram."
The assistant couldn't help but look embarrassed and sat down again embarrassedly. The sense of superiority in his heart immediately became gone.
He suddenly thought that it seemed that in their country, the old farmers in Texas, all looked rustic, but they were all very rich.
Now Kevin doesn't have to worry about it anymore. If you want to acquire it, it will definitely not work. So you can only find another way: "Liu, tell me your plan?"
Liu Qingshan nodded at him: "It's very simple. We introduce processing equipment from Pfizer. Of course, in the early stage, you may need to provide a few technicians. We will distribute the finished products produced in a certain proportion."
This seems to be a bad thing.
When Kevin came, he had already talked with the company's president: the best thing is of course to directly acquire raw materials.
If it doesn't work, then seek other forms of cooperation. Liu Qingshan's proposal seems to be fair to both parties on the surface.
The most important point: that is the distribution ratio.
This is like cutting a cake. If you cut it a little bigger, I will be smaller.
Thinking of this, Kevin smiled and said, "Liu, you also know that technology and equipment are the key."
"No, I think raw materials are the key. There is a proverb in our country that it is hard to cook without rice."
Of course, Liu Qingshan also knew this well, so he naturally would not give in easily.
"Liu, if you only have raw materials, you can't produce paclitaxel." Kevin is also a stumbling expert, or in other words, this is also a fine tradition of their country.
There is no way, who told me to be ahead in technology?
Liu Qingshan was also not in a hurry: "Kevin, without raw materials, no matter how good your technology and equipment are, you can only put it in the laboratory for dust."
It was impossible to continue talking anymore. Xiao Li was bored and stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk."
Zheng Hongqi listened with relish. His current work often negotiates with foreign businessmen. Why do he feel that he doesn’t have the confidence that Qingshan has?
Liu Qingshan and Kevin are like two bulls on the top of their heads, and no one is willing to give in.
After a stalemate for a long time, Kevin still couldn't hold on: "Liu, since none of us can convince each other, let's divide it evenly."
Kevin has also participated in many business negotiations, but has never been as frustrated as he is now.
It seems that I have taken the initiative, but I can't get any benefits.
Liu Qingshan still shook his head: "This is unfair to us."
Kevin had the urge to beat someone, but he could only think about it in his heart, because the man in front of him had seen him on TV, and he was definitely not his opponent.
He could only say patiently: "Why?"
Liu Qingshan said calmly: "It's very simple. The raw materials will not change, but the technology will lag behind with the development of technology."
Kevin was completely convinced now, and he swore in his heart: he would never sit at the negotiating table with such a person again in the future.
So he raised his hands: "Okay OK, then we account for 40%, right now, right?"
Liu Qingshan still did not nod: "I said that technology will gradually lag behind, and our country's technology is also developing rapidly. Perhaps ten or five years, we can also study the technology to extract paclitaxel."
"So, our cooperation also needs to be added with a deadline."
Of course, Liu Qingshan would not let the other party exploit endlessly. It is easy to say that the raw materials are limited and the amount of paclitaxel produced is also limited.
If artificially cultivated yew can be put into production one after another twenty years, the production of paclitaxel will soar.
If they still distribute this way, they will really suffer.
"Oh, this is impossible, Liu, you are getting more and more aggressive." Kevin was about to be driven crazy. When he was anxious, he even used Chinese idioms.
"I'm telling the truth." Liu Qingshan stared at the other party's eyes, like a beast staring at his prey.
Kevin also knew that what the other party said made sense, but he would never submit to it like this:
"Liu, it seems that our differences are a bit big, and the negotiations have not been made."
Retreat to advance, this is Kevin's last move. If he is familiar with more idioms, he will definitely think of an appropriate word, that is, the end of his skills.
Liu Qingshan also stood up and stretched out his hand to Kevin: "I'm sorry, Mr. Kevin, then I can only go to Europa to seek cooperation."
Wait, what does that mean? Kevin doesn't want to really stand up and shake hands with Liu Qingshan, otherwise there will be no chance.
His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the guy named Victor, although he had an appearance, he was just a businessman.
But when he heard Xiao Li say jealously: That guy is also a writer, he recently wrote a great work and was sought after by mainstream literature.
Of course, there is no need to doubt the other person's ability for such a guy.
The most important thing is that this guy has a good relationship with Liu Qingshan, and maybe he can really find a cooperative pharmaceutical factory in Europe.
This situation is what Pfizer least wants to see.
Thinking about these stakes, Kevin finally realized that he could not control his negotiating opponent.
So he spread his hands with a smile: "Liu, our company is really sincere."
"I'm very sincere, too." Liu Qingshan went downstairs and sat back.
Zheng Hongqi, who was standing by, understood it, but he felt that he could not learn it, because many times, he sat at the negotiating table and did not have the confidence of Liu Qingshan.
