Chapter 10
It doesn't matter whether it is effective in three days or cured in three days.
Sanqing Pharmaceutical became famous instantly.
Everyone who heard these four words started to search and inquire.
Which listed pharmaceutical company is Sanqing Pharmaceutical?
He was able to independently develop a new anti-cancer drug that is effective in three days.
It must be an old listed pharmaceutical group with strong capital, strong research and development background, and profound technology accumulation.
It must be reported as soon as possible.
Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must know everything about it.
It has to be said that in the information society, news spreads quickly.
Sanqing Pharmaceutical was soon turned upside down.
However, after seeing the relevant information, everyone was stunned.
What? A small pharmaceutical company that has been established for more than 20 years, the old brand is old enough, but it is not listed at all.
There are only 78 employees who pay social security, and most of them are production workers.
Instead, they spent a huge amount of money to build a pharmaceutical laboratory, and the research and development team also has a few big cats and kittens. Unfortunately, all of them have bachelor's degrees, and they don't even have a master's degree, so they probably only do odd jobs.
Last year's revenue was only tens of millions, and the products produced were the most common generic drugs, such as cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, eye drops, cough syrup, and other common medicines in rotten street pharmacies.
That is to say, it was established relatively early and it is located in a small city, so it occupies a large industrial site, as well as some production equipment in the factory building, plus the laboratory, and it can have an asset of hundreds of millions.
Even among the more than 4,000 pharmaceutical companies in the country, such a small-brand pharmaceutical company can be regarded as the bottom of the middle and lower reaches.
However, it is such an unremarkable brand-name company that has developed a new anti-cancer drug that is effective in three days?
This is really hell.
Just when everyone's glasses fell through.
Haishi city center, Marriott five-star hotel.
In the magnificent large conference room, a grand press conference is being held.
Standing on the rostrum in the center was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. He had a handsome appearance, big ears, and was calm and majestic. His whole body was filled with the majesty of a superior.
The audience was full of guests, from various friends, suppliers and media.
On the huge projection screen behind him, there are scenes of high-end corporate promotional images, a clean dust-free workshop, a professional elite R\u0026D team, an annual operating income of tens of billions of yuan, and close-ups of the curative effects of various cutting-edge drugs.
On a red banner, there is an extremely eye-catching line of characters: "Xinmei Group's first new anti-cancer drug in China, Akilunzai Injection Exclusive Launch Press Conference"
The middle-aged man is Wu Shiji, the chairman of Xinmei Group. At this moment, there is a rich middle-aged woman standing beside him, who is talking about her cancer treatment process with a radiant face.
"Everyone, I am Zhang Chunmei from Haishi. I was diagnosed with diffuse B large cell tumor in June last year. After treatment, I relapsed. I once fell into despair and even wanted to end my life so as not to suffer from this endless pain."
"However, after hearing that CAR-T cell therapy has been approved in China, I feel hopeful again."
"Three months ago, I received apheresis at Ruiji Hospital in Haishi, and a month later I was injected with Akironsai injection developed by Xinmei Group."
"Just at the end of last month, under PET-CT examination, I found that there were no cancer cells in my body temporarily, and my symptoms were completely relieved. I completely recovered and was discharged home three days ago."
"Thanks to Xinmei Group, Ruiji Hospital, Mr. Wu, and everyone who contributed to the successful launch of the new drug."
The middle-aged woman looked joyful and was so excited that she shed tears of emotion several times during her conversation.
And her ruddy face, rich figure, thick black hair, and healthy and sonorous voice all greatly attest to this miraculous effect.
The audience applauded and cheered enthusiastically, happy that she was able to beat cancer.
Wu Shiji, the chairman of Xinmei, immediately delivered a speech with a red face, and grandly promoted his own products.
"As we all know, Akiransai injection is an autoimmune cell injection prepared from autologous targeting human CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) genetically modified with a retroviral vector carrying the CD19CAR gene."
"A few days ago, the official website of the State Food and Drug Administration issued an announcement approving the listing of Aquilunsa injection. The announcement pointed out that this drug is the first cell therapy product approved for marketing in my country, and is used to treat relapse after receiving second-line or above systemic therapy in the past. or adult patients with refractory large B-cell lymphoma."
"So far, there is no other CAR-T cell therapy product approved for marketing in China except for the Akironsa injection released by our company. It can be said to be the first and exclusive new anti-cancer drug in China."
"Xinmei Group is based on the combination of independent research and development and technology transfer, and is committed to the industrialization and standardization of tumor immune cell therapy technology to benefit patients at home and abroad."
Applause immediately exploded like thunder in the entire hall.
Soon it will be time for media questions.
A pointed question was quickly asked.
"As far as I know, the price of a single injection of Achilles injection is sky-high, 1 million yuan per bag (about 68ml), plus other supporting treatment costs, the total price may be close to 2 million yuan."
"Excuse me, Chairman Wu, why is this drug so expensive?"
"Is the original intention of your company to develop this drug to serve the wealthy?"
"Needless to say that the poor have no access to this drug, and even ordinary people have to go bankrupt to use it, so what is the positive significance of the existence of such a sky-high priced drug? Does it violate the core values of socialism?"
Questions that touch the soul are thrown one after another, and other friends and businessmen are all sweating when they hear it, and they are glad that they are not the ones who are facing this thorny question. .
And Chairman Wu seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He looked confident and talked with confidence.
"This is a very good question. Regarding this issue, I would like to tell you that the reason why Akironsai injection is so expensive is mainly because this drug cannot be mass-produced, so it must be treated by a special person, and the treatment process is difficult. It’s very complex and therefore very expensive.”
"And this product is the first new anti-cancer drug in China, which is currently unique in the country. In addition, Xinmei has invested more than 800 million yuan in the research and development of this new drug, which is also the main reason why the product is expensive for the first time."
"Any innovative technology has a process of cost price reduction, including a huge investment in research and development in the early stage. Therefore, the current domestic price of CAR-T is half of our initial price overseas."
"In the future, we will also work hard to reduce the price burden of CAR-T. At present, CAR-T may not be affordable by ordinary people, but we firmly believe that as time goes by, the price in the future will inevitably be reduced to a level that patients can afford." the point."
These remarks are very decent, and they have answered in detail the question of why sky-high anti-cancer needles are so expensive.
After the media heard that the cumulative investment in R\u0026D exceeded 800 million, their faces softened a lot.
Another question from the media.
"Since the price is so high, is Akironsai Injection going to be included in the medical insurance? If it can be included in the medical insurance, the price can be lowered as much as possible to benefit cancer patients as soon as possible."
Mr. Wu showed a meaningful smile.
"At present, this product cannot be included in medical insurance immediately. We need to explore more multi-party cooperation, such as cooperation with commercial insurance. Under the coverage of commercial insurance, I believe that the burden on the entire payment side will be eased."
When the friends and merchants present heard these high-sounding words, they all smiled knowingly.
It is impossible to reduce the price, and it is also impossible to enter the medical insurance. Who does not know that the price of medical insurance purchase is so low that it is possible to sell medicine to the market.
Why do capitalists develop new drugs? Not to make money, is it really to cure cancer and save all mankind?
Exclusive and first in China, a new anti-cancer drug, invested 800 million in research and development, it will be a good way to make money when it goes on the market, earn more money from the rich, and strive to get back the money.
Poor people, ordinary people, who can't afford two million for treatment, what kind of target customers are they? Is it also equipped with high-end anti-cancer new drugs?
If all the research and development of medicines for the poor, companies have already gone to the northwest wind. hehe.
The psychological activities of friends and merchants in pharmaceutical companies are naturally not humane.
After listening to Mr. Wu's words, the media couldn't find any faults. Mr. Wu's answer was indeed level, and no one could find any mistakes.
However, there were still discordant voices at the scene.
"Mr. Wu, in fact, although Xinmei is the first anti-cancer drug, it is not exclusive in China. In fact, a pharmaceutical company called Sanqing Pharmaceutical has also developed a new broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug."
"It is said that Sanqing Pharmaceutical's anti-cancer drug will take effect in three days, and patients will be able to return to normal immediately after taking it for three days."
"Mr. Wu, what do you think about this?"
In an instant, the veins on Mr. Wu's forehead throbbed, and he almost blurted out the word "ridiculous".
Are you here to amuse me? Bragging about a three-day effective anti-cancer drug in front of medical professionals?
It's just that the words "Sanqing Pharmaceutical" are inexplicably familiar.
It won't be the one I thought.
Absolutely not! Impossible!
Mr. Wu managed to control his emotions and showed a kind smile.
"My friends from the media, I know that you like to exaggerate when reporting news, but even so, the anti-cancer medicine that works in three days is really incredible."
"If a friend company develops such a miraculous new drug, then I must congratulate them and come to learn from them."
"Hahaha, Mr. Wu said yes."
The friends and merchants present also roared with laughter.
The media reporter who asked the question seemed to be a newcomer. Seeing everyone's expressions of looking at fools, he blushed and couldn't refute for a while.
After all, all the people present were medical professionals, and as a layman, I really couldn't provide any conclusive evidence.
I had no choice but to leave.
The press conference ended in a festive and peaceful atmosphere.
An hour later, Mr. Wu appeared in the headquarters building on the Bund of Haishi.
Looking at the brightly lit river outside the window.
His smile disappeared, and his face was as gloomy as water.
A young man in a neat suit walked in gently, and replied respectfully.
"Mr. Wu, I checked just now, and the anti-cancer drug that is effective in three days is indeed the case."
"It is indeed the Sanqing Pharmaceutical drug you know, and it is currently undergoing Phase III clinical trials in Kunming City."
"This is a video of a patient trying the drug that has been widely uploaded on the Internet, and the effect is really amazing."
Mr. Wu took the tablet from the assistant's hand, carefully watched the video played on it, and played it back and forth several times.
After reading it, he put the tablet on the large desk in front of him, frowning tightly, as if he was in deep thought.
The assistant hesitated and said, "There is one more thing. The hot search about the launch of Akironsa injection that you asked me to buy before, it is really a coincidence that it collided with the hot search of Sanqing Pharmaceutical's new drug."
The assistant lowered his head in panic: "The Internet is in a state of chaos now, and all the netizens are cursing Xinmei, saying that you are too black-hearted, and you are crazy about money."
"ah!!!"
Mr. Wu's face was ashen, he roared suddenly, and threw the tablet in his hand with all his might.
After coding 2600 in the evening, I found that it was only three minutes away from 12 o'clock, so I quickly posted it. After posting, I continued to code to 3300 before I finished writing the plot and then sent it out. Suddenly my back hurts T_T, I washed up and went to sleep, and tomorrow I will recharge my batteries to serve the readers and grandpas.
