Chapter 9: The Value of the Little Blue Pill

Representatives of the four pharmaceutical companies, after reporting to their superiors, have come to the results.

As Abel and Alvertley walked into the conference room, the representative of Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceuticals, the arrogant-looking white old man, was the first to speak:

"Mr. Sephirosa! Hello! Bristol-Myers Squibb is very sincere and wants to buy your technology patent! We are very sincere, we are the number one company in the world in terms of sales, and we have been like this for several years in a row! If you can sell us this drug, Bristol-Myers Squibb will definitely be able to sell it all over the world in no time!"

"And Mr. Sephirosa, you, as the inventor of this drug, can also follow and become famous all over the world?!"

His tone was hot, but most of this heat was aimed at the bright future prospects of the little blue pill.

It is a drug that anyone with a normal IQ can imagine, and this drug, and there are no side effects depending on the technical points. Just thinking about it, you know that there is definitely a lot of money in the market.

In fact, there were countless similar drugs born over thousands of years before the little blue pill was introduced. From ancient Europe to even older Asia, there are too many similar drugs.

And this drug has always been loved by dignitaries. There are thousands of thousands of them, and there are thousands of different types......

There are almost as many of them as there are legendary elixirs of immortality. Historically, there have been almost as many people who have sought miracle medicine as there have been people who have sought the elixir of immortality.

But thousands of years of pursuit, although it is true that many drugs with similar effects have been found. However, almost without exception, they are either not strong in medicine, no different from eating or not eating, or they are very, very strong, but the side effects are also very strong, and some will even lose their life.

Such a drug is useless at all!

However, in this technical patent of Abel today, it is shown that the effect of this drug is extremely strong, and the most important thing is that the side effects are very low, and at most it will only be dizzy for a while......

In this case.

If this drug really passes the FDA's supervision, and the effect is really as the details above say, it will definitely be worth tens of billions of dollars in the market.

Bristol-Myers Squibb wants to get his hands on such a drug as soon as possible. It's just that capitalists are greedy, and when possible, they will only want to pay the lowest price and get the highest profit.

The number one company in the world in terms of sales is no exception.

Because the representative of Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Company was the first to speak, the others stopped because of etiquette and Abel's gaze, and let him speak first.

Looking at the representative of Bristol-Myers Squibb, who pretended to be calm, Abel smiled slightly, but there was some dissatisfaction in his heart.

This bad old man didn't speak just now, and he looked very arrogant. And even now he has something to ask for himself, but his attitude is not very good, and he even misspells his surname. His surname is Sephorosa, not Saphirosa!

Looking at the representative of Bristol-Myers Squibb, Abel asked calmly: "Then may I ask, Mr. Representative, the world's No. 1 pharmaceutical company." What kind of price can Bristol-Myers Squibb offer?"

His dissatisfied tone was a little obvious, and the representatives of the other three remaining pharmaceutical companies had already heard it.

On the contrary, the representative of Bristol-Myers Squibb, who bore the brunt of the attack, did not react so quickly, and he confidently raised a finger:

"$100 million! Sir, Bristol-Myers Squibb is willing to buy all the patents and technologies for $100 million!"

When he said the price, he was very proud. That's $100 million, which is 100 times more than the $1 million more than the guy just now!

And that's $100 million in 1990, and the purchasing power is much greater than in 2019. It is calculated by some institutions through GDP and per capita distributable income, as well as purchasing power, etc.

The purchasing power of $1 in 1990 is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of $1.9 in 2018! In other words, the current $100 million is about equivalent to about $190 million in 2019!

100 million US dollars, in this era, throughout Hollywood, there are probably not a few superstars who have a net worth of this number.

In the mind of this Bristol-Myers Squibb representative, Abel is only 19 years old, and he suddenly got such a fortune today, even if his family is good, he should be ecstatic to accept it!

He proudly looked at the other three representatives of the pharmaceutical company - look how you guys rob me!

In fact, the representative of Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceuticals is not a significant figure in their company. Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceuticals, as the world's No. 1 pharmaceutical company, doesn't really attach much importance to the research results of a young man like Abel.

Although Abel has written a few very good papers in the academic world, there are many people in the academic circles who can write good papers, and how many of them can produce good results? If it were not for the praise of Abel's academic greats, one of them would still be the winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine. It is likely that none of this gentleman will be here today.

It's just that in this case, although Bristol-Myers Squibb sent a representative, this representative was only a deputy general manager of the company's pharmaceutical department, and he was still an old fritter who had not grown in this position for more than 20 years.

In other words, what is the ability of such a man? He has been able to sit in this position for so long only because his daughter is married to a major shareholder of Bristol-Myers Squibb.

Hearing the bid of this representative gentleman, Abel was angry and wanted to laugh.

The little blue pill is only worth $100 million?! This is called Hanako?! The information told him that this thing will generate more than hundreds of billions of dollars in sales in the next 30 years! The profits have almost reached hundreds of billions of dollars. The original inventor relied on this small pill and made billions of dollars in decades just from the patent fee, not to mention Pfizer, which made a name for itself in the industry all of a sudden!

Now you want to take $100 million?!

It's just wishful thinking.

Seeing Abel laughing, Bristol-Myers Squibb's representative thought he was laughing happily because he heard about the price of $100 million.

He couldn't help but add a few more words: "$100 million! Pay you 10% first, that's $10 million! The rest will be transferred to your account within three years as long as this drug can really meet your description!"

He looked triumphant.

After all, in such an old fritter, a 19-year-old young man can get 10 million US dollars at once. Being able to get $90 million in the next three years is already a pie-in-the-sky thing.

In his cognition, let alone a young man like Abel. Even some veteran scientists, if a scientific achievement can be sold for 100 million US dollars, they basically can't wait to sign a contract.

And what about Abel?

However......

What awaits him isβ€”

Almost as soon as he had finished speaking, Abel said to Alvertley next to him:

"Al. Send this gentleman out, I guess he probably didn't take any medicine today. Please let him go, Bristol-Myers Squibb will lose the opportunity to cooperate with me forever!"
