Chapter 554: The bidding started
A new drug for treating leukemia has been successfully developed, and what we need to do now is to conduct clinical trials as soon as possible.
Because it concerns the patient's right to life.
Clinical drug trials are generally conducted in phases.
After some pharmaceutical companies develop new drugs, they will spend a lot of money to recruit a group of drug testers.
The new leukemia drug studied this time is somewhat special.
Its ownership is rather complicated.
Because the early test materials and test data were obtained by two agents sent by the old leader Guoxing. The R&D team was also sent by the old leader Guoxing.
During this period, Huier Hospital is responsible for the site, funds and materials for the new drug research and development.
In addition, Li Quan was the biggest contributor.
Therefore, the classification of new leukemia drugs is very complicated.
It is not acceptable if ownership is not determined and benefits are difficult to distribute.
It is not conducive to promoting the launch of this new drug.
Li Quan decided to call his old leader Guoxing for instructions.
"Mr. Guo, I have good news for you. A new drug for leukemia has been successfully developed!" Li Quan told his leader the good news as soon as possible.
“That’s great!”
The old leader Guo was extremely excited when he heard the good news.
"Li Quan, thank you for your hard work! You have made great contributions to the country. The success of this new drug also means that my country's research and development of drugs for the treatment of leukemia is at the forefront of the world."
Leukemia has always been a global medical problem.
The advent of this new drug has turned this once incurable disease into a minor cold.
"It is our honor to contribute to the country! It's not hard! But although the new drug has been developed, it will take a long time for it to be mass-produced and put on the market! What do you think we should do?"
Li Quan asked for instructions.
"Well, you can do clinical trials at Huier Hospital first to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the drug. I will discuss this with several key leaders and try to come up with a safe solution."
The old leader Guo Xing did not reply to Li Quan immediately.
He must have known Li Quan's idea, but this new drug was of great importance, and how to achieve mass production and sales on the market definitely required careful planning.
Li Quan naturally did not mention that he would recruit clinical drug testers next.
For those leukemia patients who are effectively treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, there may not be a need to rush.
Some patients whose leukemia has relapsed and for whom radiotherapy and chemotherapy can no longer be performed, or who cannot wait for bone marrow sources, are definitely willing to try this new drug.
Because if you don't try, you won't have a chance.
Try it, at least there is still a chance to survive.
…
Half a month later, the results of the first batch of clinical trials came out.
A total of six leukemia patients participated in the drug trial.
All are severe cases.
He is a patient with advanced leukemia.
After taking the medicine, five of them had over 99% of their leukemia cells eliminated in re-examination, but one had a much worse effect, with less than 60% of his leukemia cells eliminated.
This patient is special.
Not only does he suffer from leukemia, but he also has congenital immune deficiency.
Based on an evaluation of a clinical trial involving six patients, the new drug has a very high safety profile.
Because it can enhance the patient's immunity, it has almost no serious side effects of Western medicine. If you can't cure a disease, you will kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of your own.
It is more than ten times more effective than traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
In addition, it can cure leukemia.
This is a very big advantage.
Another thing is that the cost of treatment is low.
It is not yet in mass production, so there is no price.
However, the cost of this drug is not high. Even if pharmaceutical companies, new drug developers, hospitals, pharmacies, and doctors raise prices and make profits, the cost of treating a leukemia patient will not exceed 5,000 yuan.
After the first phase of clinical trials was a great success, Li Quan immediately arranged a second phase of clinical trials.
At the same time, he fed back the results of the first phase of clinical trials to the old leader Guo Xing.
This time, the old leader Guo gave him an answer.
It is said that they are preparing to adopt an open bidding method to select a qualified and capable pharmaceutical company to produce this leukemia drug.
Since it involves high-tech, there are extremely high requirements for the qualifications of pharmaceutical companies.
Li Quan sounded out the old leader Guoxing and asked whether Yanhuang Pharmaceutical and Shennong Pharmaceutical could participate in the bidding?
The reply given by the old leader Guo Xing was that it was possible to participate.
But no special treatment will be given.
At that time, we will win the bid based on our strength.
…
It can be foreseen that no matter which pharmaceutical company can obtain the production and sales rights of this new drug, it will not only be able to earn considerable profits, but also greatly increase its visibility and influence.
Better than any advertising.
After Li Quan finished calling his old leader Guo Xing, he immediately called He Youlong.
After working with He Youlong for so long, Li Quan is very confident in He Youlong.
Now that good things have happened, the first person I think of is He Youlong.
Of course, Li Quan himself is also a major shareholder of the company and a beneficiary.
"Brother He, I have important news for you!"
As soon as the call was connected, Li Quan couldn't wait to speak.
"Oh, what's the news? Could it be that you led the team to successfully research new drugs for the treatment of leukemia?" He Youlong was quite well-informed.
He actually knew that Li Quan was leading a professional team to develop a new drug for leukemia.
"It has indeed been successfully developed. What I want to talk about is not this matter, but the production and sales rights of this new drug and the bidding..."
Li Quan repeated the inside information.
He Youlong was not surprised after hearing this.
"For such an important new drug, it is normal for the government to adopt the method of bidding for production and sales. This is not the first time this has been done. You told me this because you want me to participate in the bidding?"
He Youlong immediately understood what Li Quan meant.
"Nothing can be hidden from Brother He. Do you think this matter is reliable? The leader in charge of this matter said that the bidding should be fair."
Although Li Quan received more than 10 or 20 billion in dividends every month, he had no idea how strong Yanhuang Pharmaceutical and Shennong Pharmaceutical were.
"How effective is this new drug?" He Youlong asked instead of answering.
"The efficacy is very good. Currently, only six patients with advanced leukemia are being tested. Five of them have reached the discharge criteria, and the treatment cycle is only half a month. Another person cannot be discharged for the time being due to congenital immunodeficiency.
But it also has good effects.
I estimate that this new drug will definitely cause a sensation after it is produced and launched on the market. The benefits and influence it will bring will be very considerable.”
Li Quan knew that He Youlong was a very cautious person.
Especially when doing some major projects, be extra careful.
"Okay, I understand. I will focus on arranging the deployment for this matter."
He Youlong has an extremely keen business sense.
You must know the importance of this new leukemia drug.
After ending the call, Li Quan sat in his office and carefully studied the business data of each department.
His idea is to truly integrate traditional Chinese medicine into every clinical department.
Let traditional Chinese medicine play its due role, thereby comprehensively improving the diagnosis and treatment level of Huier Hospital.
At present, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine has continuously recruited several batches of people.
It just takes time to develop them.
I believe that in two or three years, after the first batch of traditional Chinese medicine talents are trained, the physician structure of Huier Hospital will undergo tremendous changes.
By then, diagnosis and treatment methods will become more diverse, and the level of diagnosis and treatment will be greatly improved.
"Dean, Dean, the medical staff from the Department of Surgery and the Department of Traditional Chinese Orthopedics are fighting!"
Director Hu ran into Li Quan's office in a panic to report.
"What's going on?" Li Quan frowned slightly with a serious expression.
Traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics has recruited a lot of new medical staff, and it is inevitable that some of them have bad tempers and are prone to being reckless and impulsive.
As a young man, I can understand.
When Li Quan was an intern, he had a fight with Gao Yuan.
"It seems to be because of the ward issue. The number of patients admitted to the Department of Traditional Chinese Orthopedics is too large and there are not enough beds. There is really no way to vacate new wards for them. There is no choice but to ask the Department of Traditional Chinese Orthopedics to temporarily add beds in the corridor.
I heard that the beds were placed in the corridor outside the surgical ward.
Then there is also a shortage of beds in the surgical department.
Both sides may have lost control of their emotions and exploded.”
Director Hu explained the cause and effect of the matter to Li Quan.
"Beds are related to the efficiency of a department. Come with me to take a look. By the way, transfer a few people from the security department."
Li Quan has taken the lead and walked towards the building where the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department is located.
Fighting among medical staff in the hospital has a very bad impact.
It must be stopped immediately.
He quickly arrived at the inpatient floor where the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department was located.
Luo Wenhao's left eye was swollen and bruised after being beaten, and it turned into a panda eye.
Tang Zhengyuan was even worse off, with two nosebleeds.
Most surgeons are strong and powerful, and they are definitely not vegetarians in fighting.
Both sides were more or less aware of the bad influence and did not fight in the corridor in front of the patients.
Instead, conflicts and disputes are resolved within the office.
"What are you doing? Do you want to rebel? Have you been eating so little for a few days that you don't even know your own last name?" Li Quan's face was dark.
"Director, it was a few bastards from the surgery department who started the fight. They blamed us for taking the corridor outside the surgery ward, leaving their patients with nowhere to stay. I was so angry that I argued with them for a few words and they started pushing and hitting me."
Tang Zhengyuan has never been an honest man.
Now that he had suffered a great loss, his boss came and he immediately complained.
After Li Quan took over Huier Hospital, he made a lot of efforts, whether in improving the hospital's services, diagnosis and treatment level, or enhancing the hospital's reputation.
After more than a month, the effect was seen.
The business of each department of Huier Hospital has been rising sharply.
The increase in the number of medical consultations is actually a good thing.
However, after the sudden and continuous increase in the number of patients at Huier Hospital, which already had a shortage of beds, the contradiction of resource shortage began to become prominent.
Needless to say, Chinese medicine orthopedics.
Because other hospitals jointly boycotted the Black Jade Paste, Huier Hospital, a large hospital that dared to be the first to take the lead, became the first to benefit.
The number of orthopedic consultations continues to grow.
The inpatient beds had to be expanded to other floors.
The number of visits to orthopedics is increasing, and so is the number of visits to surgery.
Now the conflict broke out.
Both departments want to accommodate their patients. The surgery department, relying on the fact that it is the second most powerful department in the hospital, is somewhat arrogant.
As for Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics, he is the dean’s own son.
Because of this relationship, the practitioners of traditional Chinese orthopedics stand tall and act somewhat domineeringly.
When the two powerful departments came into conflict, sparks flew immediately.
"The person who started it first, stand up."
Li Quan shouted coldly.
A dozen doctors from the surgical department looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, two burly male doctors came out.
"Director, we admit that we were wrong to start the fight first. But the patients we see are eager to be hospitalized. We asked the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics to vacate a few beds, but they refused and said whoever occupies them first gets them.
They even mocked us for having fewer patients in surgery than in traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics, saying that we were just jealous and couldn't stand the better performance of traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics, so we were deliberately finding fault.
Don’t you think it’s infuriating?
I was so angry that I asked them to come to my office to sort it out. Then we started fighting."
Several of these doctors were injured.
Everyone was in disheveled clothes and had messy hair.
There must have been a scuffle just now.
"There are not enough beds. I will find a way to solve it. No matter what, fighting is definitely wrong. Considering that this is your first offense, I will not punish you severely today. Anyone who participated in the fight today will be punished. You must write a letter of apology and hand it in to my office after get off work.
This is just the first time, and it won’t happen again.
If someone disregards the hospital's management regulations and fights openly next time, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Just go through the resignation procedures and leave."
Li Quan said angrily.
This matter must be handled fairly and impartially without any partiality.
"Listen carefully, Huier Hospital is just getting started. In the future, it will definitely become a world-class top hospital. I want the medical centers in the United States and hospitals and medical centers in other countries around the world to all call Huier Hospital their grandmaster."
Li Quan painted a big pie for these people.
Only in this way can they cherish this hard-earned job opportunity more.
"Director Hu, please find a way to immediately solve the problem of insufficient beds in the surgical department."
Li Quan instructed Director Hu behind him.
"OK!"
Director Hu agreed readily, but a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Let's think of a solution for now. I'll call a short meeting with the hospital leaders to discuss how to completely solve the problem of insufficient wards."
Li Quan knew Director Hu’s difficulties.
A good cook cannot cook without rice.
All the wards that can be vacated have been vacated.
She wanted to free up some new wards for surgical use, which was not easy.
…
The three vice presidents, as well as Director Hu and Assistant Dean He were all in Li Quan's office.
At the same time, another person came, that was the chief financial officer.
There is a joke that important meetings only involve a few people, while unimportant meetings involve a large group of people.
There are only a few people who really make decisions on major matters in the hospital.
"I'm calling you all here for a short meeting, mainly to discuss the serious shortage of hospital wards. My personal idea is to build a comprehensive traditional Chinese medicine building."
Li Quan glanced at the entire audience and expressed his thoughts.
