Chapter 120 New Drug
Tian Hemeng did not pay too much attention to the visits from many pharmaceutical companies.
After all, in the business of testing strips, every country has substitute products, but the detection speed is relatively slow, only about ten minutes.
All parties are interested in Qingye Medical's test strips because some newly emerging strains are needed recently, but relevant rapid test strips cannot be found for the time being.
After all, research and development takes time.
This latest type of rapid test paper has the highest unit price, with the factory price of each box being 500 yuan.
If it was only 500 gold yuan, those pharmaceutical companies would have accepted it, but the problem was that Qingye Pharmaceutical insisted that payment must be made in gold yuan.
This made those companies without financial reserves angry and anxious.
It’s just that this kind of test paper is a seller’s market right now, and they are not in a position to bargain.
Just when Kobayashi Yafu, Park Haoze, Xie Heping from BGI and others were slowly looking for a way out.
Qingye Pharmaceutical has released another official website announcement.
Looking at the latest announcement on Qingye Medical's official website, Xie Heping and Yang Shuye, an expert in the team, looked at each other in surprise.
"Dr. Yang, what do you think?"
Yang Shuye also frowned: "They actually developed a special medicine to treat AIDS and rabies. Is this possible?"
Unconvinced, Yang Shuye searched for information about the drug developer Li Qingye and found that he was just a master's student and had only written a few genetic papers with low impact factors.
"He also studied for a doctorate under Tie Dongqing? Why didn't he graduate?"
Xie Heping, who knew a little about this, laughed dryly and said, "It seems that something happened to his family, so he went abroad to found the Qingye Group."
"He is the founder of Qingye Group?" Yang Shuye put away his previous contemptuous expression.
After all, Qingye Group holds a very important position in Hongshawadi. As for whether the other party developed it themselves, it is no longer important. Yang Shuye thought about it:
"Since they dare to sell drugs publicly, it proves that these two special medicines are definitely effective. I just don't know if the side effects are serious."
"Forget it. Anyway, AIDS and rabies are not the topics of this negotiation." Xie Heping shook his head and said.
Their biggest headache now is how to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to purchase the latest test strips.
…
The other side.
Siam is the country in Southeast Asia with the most serious AIDS epidemic, and Charoen Pokphand Group is very interested in AIDS-specific drugs.
The company's negotiation representative Xie Bin went to negotiate with Tian Hemeng again.
"In terms of purchasing test strips, we have only gathered 30 million yuan now. Can we use US dollars or euros to replace part of it?" Xie Bin tried to persuade Tian Hemeng.
But Tian Hemeng shook her head, but she immediately came up with another plan:
"Doesn't CP have a number of obsolete feed production lines? Our head office is interested in taking them over. Name a price!"
"What? " Xie Bin was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted: "You want to acquire those old production lines?"
"What? You've already sold it?"
"No, no, I need to ask the headquarters."
Tian Hemeng nodded: "Okay."
Xie Bin quickly borrowed an empty office and called the Bangkok headquarters. After communicating for more than 20 minutes, he finally figured out the general situation and obtained the chairman's authorization.
Back to the negotiation room.
"Our company currently has eight old production lines, and there are basically no major problems with the equipment. These production lines can process about 1.6 million to 3.2 million tons of feed annually."
Tian Hemeng was standing next to a professional evaluator from the headquarters who immediately asked about various situations and finally gave a quote.
230 million gold yuan.
"230 million?" Xie Bin calculated in his mind that this price was acceptable. After all, this was an old production line and the other party was very professional. This price was basically his psychological price.
It’s just that the amount of test strips he wanted to purchase this time was a bit high.
Among them, there are 500,000 boxes of new test strips (unit price 500 gold yuan, total price 250 million gold yuan). Even if the other test strips are cancelled, 250 million gold yuan will still need to be paid.
What's more, he also saw a special medicine for AIDS, which cost 50,000 gold yuan per box.
The number of people infected with AIDS in Siam is about 500,000, which is about 1% of the country's population.
In fact, given that some people deliberately conceal the fact or do not know that they are infected, the actual number of infections is much higher.
Xie Bin got a detailed report on the drug's effectiveness from Tian Hemeng. A box of Aiqingling contains 36 pills, which can completely eliminate HIV from the body in just three days. The pills need to be taken for one more day to enhance the killing effect.
In other words, this is not a palliative drug as provided by Western pharmaceutical companies, but a cure drug.
Although the side effects of Aiqingling can cause patients to experience hypoglycemia, coma, mild liver damage, and skin allergic purpura, compared with the effect of radical cure, it is estimated that most patients are willing to endure these side effects.
According to Xie Bin's estimation, as long as the effectiveness of the drug is confirmed, patients in Siam will save money to buy it.
This is a market of at least 500,000 boxes, but 500,000 boxes of Ai Qingling require 25 billion gold yuan.
Another new drug, Rabies Killer, costs 50,000 yuan per box and is also a radical cure.
You should know that rabies can only be guaranteed to be safe if you get vaccinated quickly after being bitten by a cat or dog. Once the rabies virus enters the brain, it is basically incurable.
Rabies killer not only works when you are bitten, but can also produce a therapeutic effect during the brain infection stage.
The side effects are somewhat serious and can cause madness, severe headaches, and even permanent loss of taste. It is best to be under anesthesia under hospital supervision throughout the process. It is a typical special prescription drug.
After much deliberation, Xie Bin adjusted the purchasing plan and required Qingye Medical to give the agency rights of Siam to Chia Tai Company.
Tian Hemeng has no objection to this. Giving regional agency rights is one of the common solutions used by large pharmaceutical companies.
The two parties reached an agreement that Qingye Medical would give Chia Tai Company the exclusive agency rights for drugs and medical supplies in Siam, and Chia Tai Company would purchase 200,000 boxes of new test strips and 1,000 boxes of the AIDS-specific drug - Aiqingling from Qingye Medical. The contract transaction amount was 150 million yuan.
Qingye Group purchased eight second-hand feed production lines from Charoen Pokphand Group, with the contract value being 230 million yuan.
The two parties settled the account through Aoba Bank, and the remaining 80 million yuan was temporarily deposited in the company account opened by Zhengda Company at Aoba Bank.
In fact, Xie Bin knew that if the effects of these test strips and drugs were as expected, the remaining 80 million yuan of Zhengda Company would be of no use at all.
He obviously also saw some of Hongsavadi's intentions.
If the competitiveness of Qingye Group's products continues to be maintained, it will probably be difficult for outsiders to extract gold from Hongshawadi.
For example, the new test strips, Aiqingling and Rabies Killer are needed in Southeast Asia and all over the world. It is not easy to find substitute products for this kind of unique business.
Now testing companies and medical companies from various countries are still trying hard to make a deal in Yangon.
It is because they cannot find substitute products that they have to be completely dominated by Qingye Medical.
After Charoen Pokphand Group was the first to try it out.
Soon, Zhiren Company also completed the negotiations with Aoba Group, and both parties also used the method of material exchange to complete the transaction.
The Homo Sapiens Company provided a batch of iron bamboo bars, a batch of inland methane transport ships, and methane storage tanks.
Although they have the same boss behind the scenes, ordinary people under their command have no idea of the relationship between the two, so this kind of cooperation must be carried out openly.
The successive collaborations have made the remaining companies somewhat anxious.
