Chapter 42: Pharmaceutical Factory

The middle-aged man didn't say much, and when he left, Zhao Ergouzi and I found an empty bed and sat down.

I then asked, "Zhao Ergouzi, is this place you looking for reliable?"

"Reliable!" Zhao Ergouzi didn't seem to be so restrained as me, so he went directly to the empty bed and pretended to sleep.

He still chatted with me: "Lao Wang, that's what he used to do!"

"Lao Wang, did you know each other before?"

"I've played once or twice. ”

Seeing that I was a little uneasy, Zhao Ergouzi told me how he met this old king.

"Don't worry, Lao Wang, he used to be a professional in this!"

"I remember that it was a young criminal policeman, and he wanted to test something, but he didn't get approval for the formal way of reporting. ”

"You also know that you are young, but you are dead-eyed. ”

"Then that little young man found my eldest brother at the time, and my eldest brother brought us here!"

"At that time, the factory was not so dilapidated - it seems to say, the largest pharmaceutical factory in the city?"

"Lao Wang is here to be in charge of laboratory testing, my eldest brother has a relationship with him, he will definitely be able to help us with this little favor. ”

"Of course, you also know that it's definitely not a regular way!"

Hearing this, I gradually felt a little relieved.

They are professional and experienced.

Although it doesn't look very powerful now......

So how did this place fall?

I asked curiously, "Didn't you say this is the largest pharmaceutical factory in the city?"

"Why didn't I feel like it was going to be very prosperous?"

"Hey, didn't I say it was the largest pharmaceutical factory in the city at that time? ”

"Now, it's long gone!"

"Gone?" I was suddenly curious.

After all, a place like this, if Zhao Ergouzi didn't show me the way, I guess I wouldn't be able to touch it in my life.

Now that I can hear some related gossip, I am naturally curious.

"yes, it's gone. ”

Zhao Ergouzi also saw my curiosity, and as if he was showing off his knowledge, he told me about it carefully.

"Brother Wen Chu, you are an honest person, you don't know the doorway here, and you haven't paid attention to this matter, let me tell you about it. ”

"This factory was still thriving a few years ago, and it was dilapidated, just a few years ago. ”

"In the past, this factory supplied the drug production of several key hospitals in the county, and it seems that there are some capsules, which are specially produced, and there are only a few machines that can produce in the country - this is one of them!"

"Then why, there is already an almost monopolistic production chain like this, why is it still like this?"

"Hey, that's the way it is, this factory can make money by relying on this production chain, this factory also thinks so, and now it has imported several imported production machines from abroad, and I heard that it has borrowed hundreds of millions from the bank!"

"How many hundreds?" I smacked.

"Yes! hundreds of millions!"

Zhao Ergouzi also talked about it, and simply sat cross-legged on the empty bed.

"At that time, the factory was in the limelight, making tens of millions of profits a year, and the bank must be willing to borrow hundreds of millions!"

"This pharmaceutical factory thinks, if it imports a few more machines, then it must be able to produce more medicines! Then it must make more money!"

"It was true in the beginning, and the pharmaceutical company has been making money. ”

"There is no problem with the production chain and the machine - but ah, something is wrong with this drug!"

"Something went wrong with the medicine?" I asked.

"The medicine has been produced for so many years, how can there be problems?"

Not only is it market-proven, but the drug has been launched for so many years, it can't be that the patient taking the drug suddenly broke out and there was a problem, right?

And drugs are not only verified by the market, shouldn't there be a drug regulatory bureau to supervise the launch of a drug? Before a drug can be launched, it must have been tested by the regulatory bureau, otherwise, how can it be launched and used like this?

"Did the Drug Administration find something wrong and stop selling this drug to the market?"

"Yes and no!"

Zhao Ergouzi gave me an inexplicable answer.

"What do you mean?"

"It's true that someone from the Drug Administration came to look for the factory, but it wasn't the problem with the drug itself. ”

It's not the drug itself? What does that mean?

I listened carefully to what Zhao Ergouzi said.

"This medicine, there is no problem with safety. There is no problem with the production at the factory. ”

"The problem lies in the intellectual property rights of this drug!"

"Intellectual property?

"This, this ......" Zhao Ergouzi opened his mouth and finally smiled.

"Brother Wen Chu, I don't have any culture, and I don't know what this intellectual property is...... But listening to others, it's probably about the same as the movie "God of Medicine" a few years ago, what proof do people have, if you don't have it, you can't produce and sell this medicine!"

Intellectual property, Zhao Ergouzi doesn't understand, I know.

This is a kind of thing that protects the invention and creation, and when the inventor registers the thing he has invented or created, it is equivalent to a certification of the thing. Then the person after him can no longer plagiarize or use his things.

Unless with his consent or authorization.

Zhao Ergouzi continued: "Later, the people from the Drug Administration came over and said that they produced this drug, and they were sued, saying that it was an infringement of this thing. ”

"Then the factory did not win the lawsuit, lost tens of millions, and finally could not continue to produce this drug. ”

"If that's it, then the factory can barely survive - but then this factory is just a few big production lines!

"Later, the employees below were laid off, and the leaders above jumped jobs, and the factory suddenly became like this, and now it is also producing some other drugs, in short, it is just surviving - is that the word? I still hear people talk about it! In my opinion, it is just waiting for death!"

"At that time, this incident was still in the news! Several pieces of news!"

"What can't be paid, the employees are going to jump off the building, and the high-level money has gone abroad...... Oh, yes, and-"

"What foreign Mississippi Poseidon Pharmaceutical Factory was introduced to our province, providing thousands of production jobs and employment opportunities!"

As for the employment opportunities, heh, almost all the employees of this broken factory have jumped ship!"

Mississippi Poseidon Pharmaceuticals......

I subconsciously remembered the name.
