Volume VII Section 51 Born of Sorrow

"Director Zhengyang, this gap cannot be made up by just being enthusiastic or hard working. Ming Yongchang nodded, and said: "Dongxia and even Wanzhou have a short board, lack of talents, and the surrounding Handu, Jiazhou, Xi'an and even Wuhan these cities, there is a big gap in its own positioning, lack of necessary education, scientific research resources, there is no basic soil for this research and development, so we can only rely on the company's own research and development and external transplantation and foreign cooperation to obtain technological breakthroughs, this starting point is low, it is not easy to achieve results." ”

Of course, Sha Zhengyang also knows this, Wanzhou has a large population, and its educational and scientific research resources are second only to Handu and Fugang in the province, but if it is placed on a national scale, or if it is compared with the surrounding metropolises of Handu, Jiazhou, Xi'an and Wuhan, it will be too far behind.

That is to say, joining the same enterprise that needs to invest heavily in technology research and development, the attraction of technical talents, you Wanzhou and Dongxia are simply not comparable with these metropolises.

The comprehensive environment of the metropolis, such as livable environment, cultural atmosphere, leisure and entertainment environment, education and medical conditions, and living convenience, are difficult to achieve in ordinary counties and even small and medium-sized cities, and this situation will continue until 20 years later.

Of course, the cost of living and transportation in large cities can greatly reduce their attractiveness.

Think about the housing prices and mortgages that are several times that of small cities, and the torment of crowding back and forth on the subway and bus for two or three hours a day. Watching a movie or even falling in love, but you have to be exhausted like a sardine struggling on the bus and subway, even if you drive, you are like ants crowded on the road step by step helplessly, this taste is probably one of the biggest factors forcing people in big cities to leave.

In the previous life, weren't there countless legendary stories on the Internet about drifting north into the city and escaping from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou? In fact, they were all difficult struggles of self-positioning and choice.

"Mayor Ming, this is also determined by objective reality, so if we want to offset this unfavorable factor, we need to take multiple measures to overcome it for a long time, such as what you are actually already taking, cooperating with some educational and scientific research institutions, and achieving it through the combination of interests, and then focusing on cultivating its own R&D team, well, or if we don't have the conditions to keep these talents in Dongxia, can we set up the R&D department of our enterprise in Wanzhou, if Wanzhou does not have it, then what about Handu?"

Sha Zhengyang's tone was not very polite, but his attitude was very positive.

"I'm thinking, maybe a small business may be a little difficult, but Handong Pharmaceutical should be no problem at all, right? Wanzhou Pharmaceutical is the same, the company looks infinite in all aspects, advertising and marketing is doing very well, this must have an immediate effect on the performance of the enterprise, I have engaged in the enterprise and understand, but what is the core of an enterprise, especially pharmaceutical companies, new technologies and new achievements, this is the foundation of enterprise survival, why are you unwilling to increase investment in this area?"

Ming Yongchang and Han Qingsong are a little embarrassed, Sha Zhengyang's words must be something, Handong Pharmaceutical is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the province, Wanzhou Pharmaceutical Factory is also the largest pharmaceutical company in the province, and Wanzhou Second Pharmaceutical, the scale efficiency is not bad, in recent years, several pharmaceutical companies have been advertising in TV and newspapers, and the factory director is in a big car, but there is not much to get out of the research and development of new products, no wonder Sha Zhengyang is a little dissatisfied in his words.

Gao Yongneng, the county magistrate sitting next to him, and Qu Xiaowei, director of the county party committee office, didn't expect Sha Zhengyang's language to be so sharp, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Gao Yongneng was the former deputy director of the Municipal Economic Commission and served as the county magistrate, of course he also knew Sha Zhengyang, but he was not very familiar with it, in fact, he only stayed in the position of deputy director of the Municipal Economic Commission for one year, before he was the deputy secretary of the Shandu County Party Committee, which is equivalent to serving as the county magistrate of Dongxia County after a transition in the Municipal Economic Commission, which also made countless people look sideways.

The county magistrate of Dongxia is not just anyone can sit on it, we all know that the senior officials of Dongxia County are the cradle of deputy department-level cadres, and the previous secretaries have all been promoted to the deputy department without exception, it can be said that as long as the age is appropriate and the ability is enough, basically they can go up according to this path, and the magistrate of Dongxia County is naturally the best successor to the first secretary of the county party committee, so when Zheng Guozhong left Han Qingsong to take over, countless people stared at this position, but no one expected that Gao Yongneng, who had just been transferred from the deputy secretary of the Shandu County Party Committee to the deputy director of the Municipal Economic Commission, could pick this peach。

"Director Sha, in fact, Handong Pharmaceutical and Wanzhou Second Medicine still have a lot of investment in the research and development of new products,......" Gao Yongneng saw that Ming Yongchang and Han Qingsong didn't speak, and he was a little cold, so he hurriedly talked.

"County Magistrate Gao, I have seen the data report of Handong Pharmaceutical and Wanzhou Second Medicine during my research, 28% of the operating income of Wanzhou Second Pharmaceutical Marketing Investment Station, but how much is the R&D investment?4.38%!" Sha Zhengyang did not give the Gao County Magistrate a good face, and said lightly: "What about Handong Pharmaceutical? The marketing investment station is 29.8% of the operating income, but what about the R&D investment? Poor 2.25%! I can't believe it, with a huge R&D building, how much was the sales revenue of Handong Pharmaceutical last year 680 million yuan, right?" What about R&D investment? less than 15 million, but marketing investment can reach 200 million, hehe, I'm not saying that marketing is not important, I used to engage in Dongfanghong Group, the same is to put the company's marketing in the first place, but that is in the initial stage of the enterprise, like Handong Pharmaceutical, such a fist product market is stable, the profit margin is stable, but not enterprising, just thinking about the existing market to eat all over the world, is this possible?"

As soon as Sha Zhengyang spoke, he felt that he seemed to be a little too much, he was not the secretary and mayor of the Wanzhou Municipal Party Committee, but only a deputy director of the Provincial Development and Planning Commission, but he pointed fingers at the development path of a county-owned enterprise, and Ming Yongchang was still his old leader, which was a bit enthusiastic.

"I'm sorry, Mayor Ming, Secretary Han, County Magistrate Gao, I'm a little excited. Sha Zhengyang cleared his throat and calmed his emotions, "It may be that I have been in contact with some large enterprises and foreign companies in the past few months in the central government, and I also know more about the situation at home and abroad, so I feel more touched, taking pharmaceutical companies as an example, the proportion of R&D investment in foreign well-known pharmaceutical companies is generally more than 10% of operating income, and the better ones account for more than 15%, such as Novartis, Bayer, etc., while domestic pharmaceutical companies generally focus on marketing and despise R&D, even if R&D is mainly based on generic drugs, there are very few original drugs, of course, this is also related to our own poor original research ability and the lack of strength of the company itself. ”

Although Ming Yongchang, Han Qingsong and Gao Yongneng's faces are a little not good-looking, they can also understand the central situation of the other party's words, if they don't care about the development of these enterprises in Wanzhou and Dongxia, the other party is too lazy to tell you this, knowing that they are offending people, but they still say it, with Sha Zhengyang's EQ and IQ, how can they not understand the truth here?

Thinking of this, a few people put down a lot in their hearts, at least they are sincere to analyze and dial for you, I really want to say a few perfunctory words, hello, hello, everyone, it really means that the other party is fooling you and not hitting you.

Qu Xiaowei has been paying attention to the changes in the expressions of several leaders.

Although Sha Zhengyang's scathing words are not aimed at city and county leaders, Handong Pharmaceutical and Wanzhou Second Pharmaceutical are enterprises affiliated to Dongxia County, and Wanzhou Pharmaceutical Factory is a municipal enterprise.

Such an unceremonious point out of the problems existing in the enterprise is also a bit dissatisfied with the work in the city and county, but this old leader, you are only the leader of the Development and Planning Commission, not the leader of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, so it is a bit unacceptable to say this.

However, she also noticed that although the attitudes of Ming Yongchang, Han Qingsong, Gao Yongneng and others were not very happy, they still respected and recognized Sha Zhengyang's family, but they didn't speak.

"During my training in Yanjing, I also worked with the State Development and Planning Commission, the State Economic and Trade Commission, The leaders of the State Science and Technology Commission and other departments have been in contact with each other, and they still attach great importance to the biopharmaceutical industry, because with the improvement of people's living standards and the problem of eating and dressing, then the demand for spiritual culture and health will increase day by day, so the future prospects of the biopharmaceutical industry are very large, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the cutting-edge field of the pharmaceutical industry is basically monopolized and controlled by some famous foreign pharmaceutical companies, and the gap between our industry is very large. ……”

Sha Zhengyang was deeply touched.

Why did the "I Am Not the God of Medicine" in the previous life inspire such a response, didn't it touch the pain points of many people?

Then the impact of this movie covers the whole society and even the country, and it needs to be adjusted from the perspective of policy, system and even law, which is enough to show how much advantage and initiative those well-known foreign pharmaceutical companies have in this regard, and China's weak position in this area can be seen.

India can ignore patent laws, but China has to bear obligations and responsibilities in this regard in order to be in line with international standards.

If in this life, I can promote our pharmaceutical company to change in this regard from now on, and even make breakthroughs and gains, then the purpose and meaning of our rebirth will at least be partially realized, but in any case, this change will at least not be worse than the situation in the previous life.
