At the beginning, Grumman said that he wanted the patent for the little blue pill, but Hu Wenhai actually refused in his heart. You can't just say you want a patent and give it to you, right?

After all, in addition to a signing fee, the real profit of the little blue pill is actually the final royalty of the product. The billion-dollar signing fee is nothing compared to the expected tens of billions of dollars in royalties.

But if the patent is given to Grumman, there is one question to worry about, that is, what if the other party gets the patent and lowers the output, and what if the profit does not meet expectations?

You must know that the root of this deal is the exchange of the little blue pill for the Tomcat. What if there is a problem with China's follow-up payment funds, and Grumman proposes to exchange the patent for fighter jets? Hu Wenhai believes that if Grumman comes up with 30 F-14 fighters at a time, the Air Force will really be able to put a gun to his head to get him to agree......

Therefore, the most ideal way for Hu Wenhai's plan is to find a large third-party biopharmaceutical company to win the patent rights, and then buy Tomcat fighters from Grumman through subsequent patent income.

In this way, pharmaceutical companies and Hu Wenhai are purely commercial transactions, and their ability to make outsiders is much worse. If the pharmaceutical company suppresses production, Hu Wenhai will have to withdraw the patent authorization in the second year and continue to produce the small blue pill in another company, presumably the Air Force can also be patient for the time being.

Even if Grumman wants to exchange the fighter for a patent, it depends on whether the authorized pharmaceutical companies agree or not. Even if the two sides reach a consensus, this is too ugly.

But it is said that the plan cannot compare with the change, and Hu Wenhai planned so in his heart, but Grumman was not obliged to cooperate with his plan - or rather, he obviously underestimated Grumman's situation at this time.

Note that by the 90s, the name of the world's third-largest military-industrial complex was Northrop Grumman, not Grumman. In other words, Grumman was acquired by the original Northrop Corporation and merged into a new Northrop Grumman Company.

Is it impossible for Grumman to let Northrop buy it? Of course, this is impossible, and in fact, Grumman's business difficulties have already been manifested at this time.

The most obvious point is that no matter how the F-14 beats the F-15 on the training ground, the eagle is always more popular than the cat in foreign trade. The F-15 Eagle fighter is equipped with the air forces of five countries other than the United States, but the F-14 has only a poor Iranian Persian cat, and even the 342 Tomcats equipped by the US military itself have been delivered for many years.

In other words, at this time, Grumman's F-14 fighter production line was discontinued. The F-15 and F-16 and F-18 are all in non-stop production to equip the United States, or U.S.-backed countries.

Watching his peers make a fortune, I wonder if Grumman is not in a hurry!

At this time, Grumman not only needs to open the Chinese market, but its fundamental purpose is actually to obtain enough orders and cash flow to participate in the development of the next generation of fighters in the US military!

So when Grumman's current president Norton appeared, Hu Wenhai immediately discovered that he actually held a good hand in his hand that he couldn't lose no matter how he played.

"Please Mr. Hu license the patent of sildenafil to Grumman, and we can agree to the signing fee of one billion dollars and the patent fee of 10% of the final sales......"

When Norton, in his capacity as Grumman's president, said this in person, the entire conference room could only be heard with the sound of inhalation.

It was not only the Grummen people, but the Chinese delegation on Lin Qianjun's side was the loudest inhaler.

At this time, China is in a trade deficit with the United States, that is to say, it imports more than it exports, and as of last year, China found that the People's Bank of China had only a balance of $2 billion on its books.

In other words, China has only $2 billion in foreign exchange reserves.

As long as Hu Wenhai signed, he immediately had in his hand the amount of US dollars equivalent to half of the Chinese treasury -- this money belonged to his own person!

China, which has just reformed and opened up, has not even had a real private enterprise, and this is a big step.

Not to mention the 10% patent royalty, how much this money will be, almost all Chinese have no idea. But no one doubts that Grumman will send in a president and promise a billion-dollar signing fee, just for a ten-billion-dollar business.

However, what makes people's jaws drop is that no one thought that the person concerned, Hu Wenhai, would refuse Norton's request in one bite!

"I'm sorry Mr. President, I don't think Grumman has any experience in the pharmaceutical industry. The production and sale of drugs should be left to professionals. ”

"Oh, that's exactly what I'm trying to say. Norton was not discouraged, beckoning someone to put a document on the table: "Grumman has been acquiring a well-known pharmaceutical company in the United States, and so far, we have preliminarily reached the intention of acquiring 15% of Pfizer's shares, and will soon become its largest shareholder, and it is expected to complete the acquisition within this year." And Pfizer has rich pharmaceutical and sales experience, and will be able to guarantee the successful introduction of sildenafil to the market. ”

"Well, well, I have to say that President Norton is very well prepared......"

Hu Wenhai was stunned in surprise, why did this project fall into the hands of Pfizer in the end, what is this? A coincidence or the closure of the world line? Could it be that the history of this world cannot be changed?

So what's the deal with helping China introduce the F-14 yourself?

Hu Wenhai was messy in a gust of wind, and after thinking about this kind of esoteric question involving the level of the world's composition for a long time, he had to decide to give up, just regard it as an inevitable coincidence.

But at least choosing Pfizer made Hu Wenhai put half of his heart down. Historically, Pfizer was able to achieve a scale of 200 billion sildenafil, which means that they have enough capacity, and it is safe to hand over this market to them.

But Pfizer can be handed over to Grumman, and Hu Wenhai is not so relieved.

"But I still can't agree that Grumman is both a player and a referee, and we will be very passive in this cooperation. ”

Although Hu Wenhai said it was more vague, who was not an old fox in the mall, and he couldn't understand what he wanted to express. Falsifying sales, or not working hard, and then bursting production capacity after killing the patent owner, is simply a kindergarten-level business case in the capital world.

Norton was silent for a while, sighed deeply, and nodded: "This is also easy to do, if the patent royalty is less than one billion after the drug is launched, then Grumman can pay the equivalent of the insufficient amount of F-14 and spare parts delivery coupons." ”

"Holy. ”

The one who spoke out of his mouth and scolded the country turned out to be Lin Qianjun, who has always been steady. Although he knew that he shouldn't take revenge, Lin Qianjun really hoped that after this contract was signed, not a single blue pill would be sold.

However, if the market development was insufficient in previous years, this subsidy would have been enough for the Republic Air Force to equip one squadron of F-14s per year. Maybe Grumman would prefer to use the F-14 to offset the debt, after all, the fighter is profitable, and the production line can be avoided from being empty, and the royalty is to be paid real dollars.

Hu Wenhai really didn't expect Grumman to make such a big determination, and in the future, Grumman will be an American arms dealer or a Chinese arms dealer......

"To be honest, I was a little surprised by Mr. Norton's determination, and it seems that you are very optimistic about the future of sildenafil. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Hu is the same, otherwise he wouldn't have shouted a billion dollars in signing fees. ”

Hu Wenhai blinked, and suddenly smiled like a young man: "Actually, I think a billion dollars seems to be a bit less." ”

"As long as you get the patent for sildenafil-" Norton shrugged his shoulders and even cooperated with him and smiled: "Aren't we negotiating, the so-called negotiation means that there are no conditions that cannot be mentioned." ”

......

The successive blows have already made all the members of the Chinese delegation below Lin Qianjun fall into a state of petrification.

"Well, I'll admit that Grumman is sincere. Hu Wenhai nodded, he really made a thought, and suddenly said: "The last condition, as long as Grumman agrees, the patent is yours, and I want a major repair line." ”

"Overhaul line?"

"F-14 overhaul line. ”

This is the first time that Norton has been caught up in a long period of thought. Lin Qianjun, Zhang Tianqiao and the others looked at each other, gave Hu Wenhai a fierce look, and signaled that his request was a bit excessive.

What is the F-14 overhaul line? Although this thing is nominally used to overhaul the F-14, in fact, it is no different from the F-14 assembly line. Because the so-called overhaul was supposed to take the fighter apart and inspect and repair all the parts.

Many countries have introduced fighter aircraft production capacity from the route of overhaul, assembly, and self-production.

Selling such an overhaul line to China, maybe the Chinese will be able to produce their own F-14 in more than a decade. Such a decision would not have required Grumman to use his own lobby on Capitol Hill.

However, after half an hour of falling into the long exam, Norton held his hands on the table and nodded unexpectedly: "An F-14 overhaul line, no problem." However, the right to assign a sildenafil patent must be exclusively granted for a period of 10 years. ”

In ten years, this is half of the validity period of the sildenafil patent. Judging from the sales performance of Pfizer in later generations, it is at least a profit expectation of hundreds of billions of dollars. If you really want to talk about it, the entire F-14 project, I'm afraid there is not so much income.

However, Hu Wenhai didn't think about it for long, no, he stretched out his hand almost without thinking: "Deal, Mr. Norton, I hope we have a good cooperation." "Anyway, Grumman still has to pay the patent royalties, give them a reassurance, in exchange for an F-14 overhaul line, no matter how you look at it, they will make a lot of money!

"Mr. Hu is much happier than me, and I hope to have a happy cooperation. Norton breathed a sigh of relief and held Hu Wenhai's hand tightly.

"Oh, by the way, I wonder if the name of this new pharmaceutical company has been decided?" asked Hu Wenhai, holding Norton's hand.

"Not yet, does Mr. Hu have any suggestions?"

"Well, how about calling Ambrera?"

"Hehe, no problem. ”
