Chapter 411 Minimum Standard Sponsorship
Denilson went back to discuss with several technical staff for a long time, and then raised another question:
"Dr. Lan, how did you learn about our company's new drug omeprazole? In addition, you can be sure that you can help us confirm omeprazole's bactericidal effect in clinical experiments?"
Chen Qi interrupted at this time:
"The principle of omeprazole is actually not complicated. We have seen it in relevant papers. It is mainly a proton pump inhibitor and can specifically inhibit the secretory microtubules and the hydrogen ions in the vacuole composed of the apical membrane of B cells.
This can effectively inhibit gastric acid secretion.
But for inhibiting gastric acid secretion, the mainstream ones on the market now are not omeprazole, but Ranitidine and Cimetidine. I think this is your worry, how to compete with these two drugs for the market?
.
Similarly, our trouble is that clinical experiments require a lot of funds and drugs. Everyone knows that our country has just reformed and opened up, and the funds allocated to our technical personnel are not that sufficient, which will affect the experimental process.
Therefore, my wife and I came here with only one purpose, which is win-win cooperation. Both parties jointly set up a research group. You are responsible for providing funds and drugs, and we are responsible for clinical research. We only require the authorship of the paper for the results, and the research results can be
It belongs to you Aslilah."
No way, medical research, especially clinical treatment plans, cannot be patented.
Otherwise, when there is a quadruple therapy or triple therapy, Chen Qilan Lijuan can become a rich man with this patent.
Therefore, in addition to funding, what Chen Qi wants to fight for is reputational rights.
He is not a Holy Mother, but he has never thought about working for capitalists for free. If others have income, of course they and the couple must also have income individually.
In addition, as long as this topic is first settled in the Vietnam-China People's Hospital, it will be extremely beneficial to both the hospital and Lan Lijuan's own career development.
This can give Lan Lijuan a certain say in the international or domestic medical circle, and her starting point is higher than that of ordinary doctors.
When she grows up and has a certain status in the hospital, it will be natural for her to become an "infectious disease doctor" and she will be able to obtain more preferential conditions.
Seniority ranking in China is too strong. If she wants to be the director of the Department of Infectious Diseases or an expert in infectious diseases, Lan Lijuan can only find another way to save the country.
As soon as Denilson heard about the two antacids ranitidine and cimetidine, he knew that these two Chinese doctors were obviously well prepared.
This means telling him that if you don't choose to cooperate with us, we will go to "Glaxo Company" or "SmithKline Company" to discuss cooperation.
Anyway, acid-suppressing drugs are not unique to your company, Aslila, not to mention that you are still a second-rate company, far from being called a pharmaceutical giant.
When talking to smart people, some things don’t need to be said too thoroughly.
In fact, this is all Chen Qi trying to fool these silly Swedish foreigners.
What Chairman Denilson doesn’t know is that in a few decades, two drugs, ranitidine and cimetidine, will be found to contain carcinogenic N-nitrosodimethylamine.
This is a harmful substance with very strong hepatotoxicity that can cause cancer in the human body. It can be rapidly absorbed through the respiratory tract and digestive tract and damage the human liver.
In the list of carcinogens published by the World Health Organization, NDMA belongs to Category 2A carcinogens.
The medicine that cured diseases turned into a medicine that harmed people, so ranitidine and cimetidine quickly began to withdraw from the gastric medicine market.
On the contrary, proton pump inhibitors have suddenly emerged.
Rabeprazole, omeprazole, pantoprazole, lansoprazole, esomeprazole, etc., are all rising in popularity, quickly occupying half of the gastrointestinal medicine market.
It has become a veritable cornucopia, and you can earn as much money as you want.
But Aslila Pharmaceuticals doesn't know all this. Their omeprazole is still a newbie, and they never realized that they could dominate the world in the future.
Denilson listened to Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan's suggestions and decided to hold a closed-door meeting internally to discuss whether to "sponsor" this topic.
Chen Qi took the opportunity to call Professor Segel outside.
In the small garden, Chen Qi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he went straight to the point and asked:
"Professor Segel, do you think our topic has a future? Can it be applied clinically?"
Segel nodded firmly:
"Principally speaking, I think your topic is the true cause of gastrointestinal diseases. You and your wife have discovered a very remarkable topic and can definitely win the Nobel Prize."
Nordic men are all straight men, they say what they say and don’t beat around the bush.
Chen Qi chuckled: "So, Professor, are you willing to join our research group?"
Professor Segel was shocked when he heard this:
"Chen, this, this isn't appropriate. Your subject is already very in-depth and you don't need help from others. If I join, I don't think I might be able to help."
"No, you can help us. Our research group also needs you. First of all, you are a famous expert in gastroenterology, and gastric disease is your specialty. We all share the same goals."
(Voiceover: Chen Qi, are you a gastroenterologist?)
"Secondly, my wife and I, and our mentors are all Chinese doctors. They lack international influence and lack of influence on the decision-making of Aslila Company. If you join our research group, you will definitely bring great benefits to Aslila Company."
Confidence.
You also know that our project funds are very tight, so we need money, the more the better. In addition, we also need some advanced instruments and equipment, all of which require money, and now we need Aslila to be able to pay for it."<
/p>
What Chen Qi said is very direct. From a Chinese perspective, it should be very inappropriate. This Chi Guoguo wants money and is too money-worshipping. How do you learn socialist values?
But from a foreigner's perspective, this is normal. Aslila's new drug project is not of a public welfare nature, and other pharmaceutical companies are preparing to make a lot of money.
So supporting doctors to conduct clinical trials is equivalent to advertising for pharmaceutical companies in disguise and acting as a platform for their new drugs. It is very natural to get reasonable remuneration.
Otherwise, how can those top doctors get the money to live in mansions on the top of the mountain, drive free cars, and travel first class?
Professor Segel understood Chen Qi's intention as soon as he heard it, which made him ecstatic.
After all, it is not too difficult for him, the most famous local gastroenterologist in Sweden, to negotiate with Aslila on behalf of a Chinese doctor and ask for more money.
Similarly, although Sweden is a small country, the most famous Nobel Prize is located in Sweden.
The Nobel Prize in Biology or Medicine is awarded by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and he himself is a professor at the Karolinska Institute, which also has a certain influence.
Professor Segel couldn't help but be excited when he thought that by joining the Helicobacter pylori research team, he could personally develop a revolutionary medical invention that would create an era.
What if one day he might also win a Nobel Prize?
"Chen, your suggestion is very good. I am willing to accept your invitation and join your team. Don't worry, if you need help, just tell me. I will handle the negotiation with Aslila Company.
And I can assure you that I will not ask for a penny in compensation. I am not short of money. What I am short of is a great research project. You have given me all this. This is really great news. I can’t wait.
I want to go to China."
Chen Qi felt happy when he saw how polite this Swedish doctor was.
The two people held their hands tightly together, indicating that Professor Segel had officially boarded the ship.
After a long time, and without knowing how Professor Segel lobbied, Chairman Denilson finally made the decision to sponsor the Helicobacter pylori research team with his new drug omeprazole.
However, there are disagreements within the company as to the specific amount of sponsorship.
When capitalists give money, they need to see a return, and every copper must be heard.
I’m not a fool, but if you talk about a topic, people will trust you 100%?
"Dr. Chen, Dr. Lan, since Professor Segel has joined your research group and he has repeatedly assured us of the significance of this topic and the decisive factor in the promotion of our new drug omeprazole, we have decided to sponsor your research.
But before we see concrete results, we cannot invest too much money. I hope you can understand, so we have decided to temporarily sponsor you according to the European minimum standards. Of course, you don’t have to worry. As long as there are results, we will increase follow-up sponsorship.
”
Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan were a little disappointed when they heard it. After talking for a long time, they only sponsored according to the minimum standard. How much money can they get?
What the two of them thought more about was that in 1982, Chen Qi gave Lan Lijuan 2,000 yuan to start the Helicobacter pylori project at her own expense.
Since they say it is the minimum standard, it is estimated to be only a dozen or two hundred thousand. This amount of money is also a huge sum of money to others, but to Chen Qi it is just the labor fee for several flying knife surgeries.
But no matter how small a fly's legs are, they are still meat. If you don't take them, you won't get them. At least the clinical medication is fully covered, which is also a huge expense.
And Chen Qi knows that if he wants to achieve the best clinical effect, he cannot use ranitidine, but omeprazole!
Chairman Denilson continued a little embarrassedly:
"So we can only sponsor you with a maximum of 2 million US dollars, and require you to produce results within 3 years. Ahem, although the money is small, don't worry, I assure you that as long as the project is successful, our new drugs can be fully launched
In the international market, we will give you a reward of no less than 2 million US dollars, and the reward is for you personally."
When Professor Segel heard this, he was a little dissatisfied and muttered: "Two million is too little."
Chapter completed!
