I can extract side effects

Li Li of Lotus Company quickly got in touch with the original drug manufacturer abroad, Valeant Pharmaceuticals of Eagle Country.

CEO Thomas attached great importance to the newly developed eastern customers and answered the phone in person.

"Dear Li, I'm glad to receive your call. What? Trientine hydrochloride can't be sold in China at all? This is really bad news."

However, after listening to Li Li's appeal, he spread his arms, expressing his helplessness.

"I'm sorry, but we can't agree to your request. It's not so easy to develop a new iterative drug of trientine hydrochloride."

"The company currently has no plans in this regard, and the huge investment in research and development also needs to be carefully considered."

Li Li couldn't help but asked back: "This medicine has been on the market for decades, so it's so difficult to improve it a little?"

Thomas chuckled: "Yeah, it's been on the market for so long, if you think it's not difficult to improve, you can try it too."

Li Li was at a loss for words. If it was really that easy, he wouldn't have introduced the original medicine.

And the most important problem is that Lotus, like many Chinese pharmaceutical companies, does not pay attention to research and development at all, and is a marketing-driven pharmaceutical company.

The company's R\u0026D department is useless, there are not many R\u0026D personnel in total, and they are all crooked, and the generic drugs can't handle it, so they still make improved drugs?

Li Li was very self-aware of his company's level, so he could only hold his nose and bear it, and made another request.

"Mr. Thomas, this drug cannot be sold now. We want to introduce another drug. I wonder if it is possible?"

Thomas' eyes widened, and his tone suddenly became less kind: "Li, we have already signed the contract. Quenting is not selling well in China. This may be a problem with the market, or it may be a problem with the patients. In short, it is not ours. Question. Why do we have a contract if we can switch medications at will?"

Li Li's face was also very ugly: "Thomas, then I'm afraid we won't be able to perform the contract as agreed."

Thomas was stunned for a moment, with question marks all over his head: "No, your Lotus company is just going back and forth like this, without the spirit of contract?"

Li Li plausibly said: "In business and business, we have no choice but to stop the loss in time. Besides, things like tearing up the contract are very common. We also lose the upfront expenses. Speaking of which, you still make money."

He smiled coldly in his heart, this Thomas is too rare and strange, isn't the contract just to be torn up? Since the Lotus Company can't profit from the introduction of new drugs, why do they have to fulfill the contract?

Thomas suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked curiously: "Can I ask? Why can't this medicine be sold in China?"

Li Li had nothing to hide, so he told the whole story: "Because that damned Sanqing Pharmaceutical has built a shared laboratory to directly provide patients with raw materials. There are very few patients with orphan drugs, and some patients learn to do it themselves Pharmaceuticals, other patients have followed suit, and all of them are engaged in self-pharmaceuticals, and we can’t sell them at all now.”

Thomas was thoughtful: "Fortunately, there is no such absurd thing in our Eagle Country. Your drug regulatory department is too irresponsible. You should learn from the FDA and strictly supervise it."

Li Li rolled his eyes, and said lightly, who doesn't know that the raw material drug manufacturers are all in China, and even if there are pharmaceutical companies in Eagle Country who want to do this, they don't have such unique conditions in China.

However, he still echoed and scolded the Food and Drug Administration: "That's right, the medical environment in Eagle Country is good, the market is large, the price is expensive, and the profits of pharmaceutical companies are high. It is indeed the world's largest pharmaceutical market, and we can't even enter it." Go, it’s not like being in China, there is no freedom at all, and there is a medical insurance collection at every turn, and the price can’t be raised at all.”

"Hehe," Thomas said bluntly, knowing that this matter was inappropriate, he left directly: "Li, it's a pity that we can't satisfy each other with this cooperation. Let the lawyers handle the next matter. I hope there will be another cooperation next time." Opportunity. I'm very busy here, so I won't say more, goodbye."

Li Li hung up the phone and was stunned for a while before realizing: "Lawyer? What the hell, are you going to appeal to the court?"

He was suddenly furious: "The foreign devils of CNM, who are these people. I won't cooperate with their company in the future."

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. This time the introduction of the new drug was really a big loss. Not only did he lose the upfront expenses, but he was also sued by Weilang Company for compensation. The contract was signed so thickly, who knows how much he would have to pay.

But there is no way, if the contract is not terminated, the subsequent costs will be higher, and the domestic marketing will also cost a lot of money, which is really not worth the candle.

He couldn't help but inquired about Weilang Company on the Internet, wanting to know if there was any negative news about the other party recently, and if he could make a decision.

"Hey!" Unexpectedly, a big news popped up after a search, and Li Li laughed suddenly: "This Weilang company has a bunch of lawsuits behind it, and it wants to sue our company for breach of contract, haha."

"Hey, the stock price has dropped from 260 US dollars to 20 yuan, and the market value has dropped by more than 80 billion, leaving only 3 billion. Tsk tsk, this is imminent, and you still have time to trouble our company?"

"Valeant Pharmaceuticals is deeply involved in the drug price manipulation scandal, or may face multiple lawsuits, and is currently undergoing multiple investigations by multiple regulatory agencies in Eagle Country. The company's stock price has plummeted, and CEO Thomas is about to resign."

"Hahaha!" Li Li was suddenly ecstatic: "God help me too!"

It turned out that Weilong Company was already in a quagmire and couldn't take care of itself. Now there is no need to worry that the other party will sue Lotus Company.

He looked at the news carefully again. It turned out that Valeant has been acquiring small pharmaceutical companies to achieve profit growth. After acquiring more than 100 small pharmaceutical companies, in order to make up for the losses caused by the acquisition, the company cut off R\u0026D investment, the main strategy has changed to focus on sales, and the price of existing drugs has been greatly increased.

Although this will lead to fewer people using Valeant's drugs, patients have no choice but to endure the exploitation of high-priced drugs in the market due to the company's large-scale acquisition of orphan drugs.

Before the price increase of trientine hydrochloride, patients only needed to spend $50 a month to take the medicine, but after the price increase, they had to pay a bill of $20,000 a month. also complained to the government.

The media specially filmed a documentary "Dark Money" to expose Weilong's evil deeds, which completely aroused public outrage.

The Eagle Country government took this as an opportunity to launch an investigation into Valeant Pharmaceuticals. At the hearing, despite trying to cover up, Thomas finally confessed to his monopolistic behavior of manipulating drug prices.

However, the irony is that this hearing does not seem to allow the government to impose sanctions on the company, because the free market, based on its ability to raise prices, is reasonable and legal.

The only loss is the stock price of Valeant, which is estimated to be depressed for a while, because investors have lost confidence and completely abandoned this company.

After reading all the news, Li Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Fortunately, our company is in China, and this kind of thing will never happen. Even if the price rises, it's okay, the stock price will not fall at all, it will only rise. It's better in China , if it were in Eagle Country, Lotus would probably have fallen below the bottom line long ago and would have been forced to delist."

But he also fully understood why Thomas refused the request for new medicine.

The co-author is also a sales company without research and development capabilities, just like my own company.

No wonder, it turns out that the two are the same thing, no wonder the drugs that have been on the market for decades can't be improved.

"Bah!" Li Li spat, and said disdainfully: "I thought that Yingguo Pharmaceutical Company was so powerful, and it was also a salesman who only knew how to buy. Let's not talk about our elder brother, who would look down on us?" Who are you going to. Hehe."

His eyeballs were rolling, and he was suddenly inspired by the behavior of Weilang Company.

He can also do this kind of thing of buying everywhere and then raising the price of drugs.

However, it costs too much money to acquire a company. He can definitely introduce drugs, act as an exclusive agent, and then increase the price crazily. Patients will always want to buy drugs.

It's just that he hasn't waited for him to figure out his next move.

Suddenly, the office door slammed loudly again.

The sales director rushed in and said in a panic: "Mr. Li, the boss of Sanqing bombarded us online and led fans to scold us. Take a look!"

Li Li's face changed drastically, and he immediately picked up his phone to check, the more he looked, the uglier his face became.

It turned out that Wei Kang directly posted an announcement on his Langbo.

"A very strange thing happened recently. Sanqing was reported."

"Don't worry, it's not that Sanqing was reported by someone to release new drugs too quickly and not leave a way for colleagues to survive. What was reported was the shared laboratory, which is a new function of Longtu APP, which aims to help those who cannot buy drugs in China Or patients who can’t afford sky-high prices.”

"Many of them are patients with rare diseases, and their family members have no choice but to embark on the road of self-pharmacy like Cao Yang. Our laboratory provides some common compound raw materials, reagents and equipment, which has helped many patients and relieved their urgent needs."

"Many family members even posted their self-preparation process on Longtu's forum. The communication atmosphere is very friendly and enthusiastic. At the same time, Longtu will also provide some public materials and information on it to help patients solve their problems as much as possible."

"All of this is for Sanqing's corporate goal, so that more people can see a doctor and take medicine, so as to treat more patients."

"You know, there are too many diseases in this world. Sanqing's ability is limited, and there is no way to develop all the medicines for the time being. We have to help patients as much as we can, and the fees are all cost prices. Sharing laboratories or even losing money operate."

"However, it was such kindness that blocked some companies from making money, and they were even reported under their real names."

"Here I want to name a lotus pharmaceutical company, which was reported by them. This pharmaceutical company imported the original drug of Trientine from abroad. This drug is very expensive abroad. It costs 200 US dollars a piece. Yes, you read that right. One pill, not a box, and the domestic price of Lotus Pharmaceuticals is almost as expensive, which is simply sky-high for patients.”

"Treentine has been on the market for decades, and the raw materials are easy to buy, so the family members of the patients chose to make their own drugs in the shared laboratory. The sky-high priced drugs immediately lost the market, and the pharmaceutical company reported Sanqing. Selling counterfeit medicines, you say it's absurd, isn't it absurd?"

"Fortunately, the relevant departments found out the truth and dismissed this ridiculous report."

"What I want to tell you now is that the risk of self-pharmaceuticals lies in the unknown raw materials and unknown side effects, but there is nothing wrong with self-pharmaceuticals. Since pharmaceutical companies can sell sky-high prices, patients can also self-pharmaceutical to save themselves. , this is a natural human right.”

"However, I still hope that self-medicated patients can learn more and master relevant knowledge like Cao Yang, and it is best to choose a professional place like Longtu's shared laboratory, and try to do it under the guidance of professionals."

Once it was released, it instantly caused a huge wave.

Originally, netizens were arguing with each other about self-pharmaceuticals.

Suddenly, a heavyweight came out to give the self-pharmaceutical platform.

Weikang's fans instantly turned their backs and turned to support the self-pharmaceutical.

"President Wei is right. Self-preparation is the natural human right of patients, and we should support it."

"That's right. Primitive people still know how to pick herbs from the mountains to treat diseases. It's already the 21st century, but patients don't even have this right?"

"Sanqing really cares about patients. This shared laboratory looks really good!"

"It is indeed a medical model in the new era. If it is some simple medicines and the patients are saving their lives, I think there is no problem."

"Yeah, buying from a shared laboratory, at least from a legitimate channel, is better than going to a drug dealer to buy fake drugs, which is more prone to accidents."

"That's right, blocking is worse than sparse. Since it exists, it is reasonable. What we can do is to standardize it as much as possible to avoid accidents for patients."

Netizens were full of enthusiasm, and the discussion became more heated.

Even naysayers are gradually being persuaded.

At this time, the drug regulatory department also officially responded: not selling homemade drugs will not harm the society, and will not interfere too much.

However, the official point is to stop, and did not comment on the sharing of the laboratory.

Wow! Suddenly, the wind direction of the whole network suddenly changed.

Under the official conclusion, there is no suspense in the dispute over the right and wrong of self-pharmaceuticals, and the conclusion can be completely settled.

At this time, the bombarded Lotus Pharmaceuticals is particularly eye-catching.

Especially when netizens saw that there were still medicines worth $200 apiece, which simply refreshed everyone's perception of drug prices.

"Damn it, 200 dollars a piece, what the hell is this magic medicine, if it can't rejuvenate, I will definitely smash this black shop."

"It's 30 days a month. To be conservative, one tablet a day costs $6,000 a month, or 40,000 yuan. If you round it up, it's 500,000 a year. I'll be good."

"I found that our understanding of pharmaceutical companies is still too shallow, no, it is because we are not fully prepared for their shameless greed."

"Do you know? This drug has been on the market for 30 years, and the patent has expired long ago. It is not a new drug at all, and it can still be sold at such a high price. It's so fucking ridiculous to open the door for it—it's so ridiculous! "

"Return to Lotus Pharmaceutical Enterprise, vomit! Just change the name to Black Heart Pharmaceutical, I have never seen such a black one."

"I can't stand it anymore. If I have to spend money on such expensive medicine, I would rather learn to make medicine myself."

"Sanqing is giving patients who need to take this medicine a way out! No wonder they were reported. Fortunately, they didn't succeed. The country is still very fair in this regard."

"Stupid black-hearted drug company, I have already used my sky eye to find out the information. Here is the contact information and address. If you have time, I will call and scold it for the patients."

"Hehe, I've already called, and I asked it if the patient's blood is good to drink? Why don't you just hang up on me."

"Brothers, flush it today and nail it to the pillar of shame in history!"

Li Li looked at it, and felt his throat sweetened, his eyes darkened, and he almost fainted.

He patted the table and said with grief and indignation: "Nonsense! I'm obviously one-third cheaper!"

"One-third is a lot of money. Patients can't afford medicines. It's because they are lazy and unwilling to make money. How can the pharmaceutical companies be blamed?"

"Can the pricing of pharmaceutical companies be called a problem? How can it be called a sky-high price drug? Isn't it natural for companies to pursue profits?"

"Obviously this price sells well abroad, why is it being bombarded in China?"

"What's wrong with this country? Are these people mentally ill? Why are they so cruel to companies?"

He shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake all the doubts out of his head.

Because he really couldn't figure it out, he couldn't even figure it out life and death.
