Chapter 499: Pure Heart
Seeing that Yang Xiaotian didn't answer, Ye Ming said slowly: "Selling to a pharmaceutical company is a profit that can be seen, the difference is just how much! But if you do it yourself, the future is unknown, and the money you need may also be sky-high." ”
Yang Xiaotian said with some regret: "It's a pity that Tianbaotang is closed, otherwise there can be a stable cash flow, only relying on future technology...... Even if venture capital is introduced, it is impossible to say that the money from venture capital will be diverted and used! As for Baihua Technology, it will take at least a year to see the income!"
Ye Ming smiled: "Hearing you say this, you are really short of money! But even if Tianbaotang is not closed, the cash flow of several million a year cannot support the research and development of a drug at all, not to mention anything else, the expenditure on clinical trials alone is at least tens of millions!"
After finishing speaking, Ye Ming looked at Yang Xiaotian and asked, "You don't want to sell?"
"Well, I don't want to sell it because of future benefits, in fact, if I can sell it for a billion or 10 billion in the future, it's all in the future, it's unpredictable! The reason why I don't want to sell is because I'm afraid that patients won't be able to use it!" Yang Xiaotian explained in a slow but resolute tone.
"Patients can't afford it?" Ye Ming looked at Yang Xiaotian very strangely.
"After a drug is developed, big pharmaceutical companies will definitely make a profit!" Yang Xiaotian said, "The wool is out of the sheep, and the patients must pay in the end!"
Speaking of this, Yang Xiaotian had a somewhat unbearable expression on his face: "You have never seen a family of a person with cerebral palsy! In most families, the wife needs to take care of the young children, and the husband is the only one who works, and he has to manage food and drink and pay for medical expenses, and many people work several jobs, so where can they have so much money to buy medicine? If they live in the local area, it is fine, but some patients are dragging their families to see a doctor in other places, and this is a huge expense! I have seen many such family members in the first hospital of Nanhu City, and the family of three lives in the ward!"
Yang Xiaotian said in an aggravated tone: "It's not that kind of double ward, three-person ward! In fact, now the double ward is only thirty or fifty a day, like our traditional Chinese medicine hospital, the three-person ward is only more than 20 a day! But just like that, they can't afford to live in it! They live in a ward of one or twenty people!"
"A ward of twenty people?" Ye Ming also looked surprised.
"Don't believe it, right?" Yang Xiaotian smiled tiredly, "I was really touched at that time! I have never seen this kind of ward before, and I have never heard of it! It is in the far corner of the inpatient area, a large ward! The nurse also told me, don't look at the poor conditions, in fact, it is also taken care of, after all, it is only two yuan a day for hospitalization!"
Ye Ming seemed to see the crystal liquid in Yang Xiaotian's eyes.
He has infinite emotion in his heart, since he started to contact the medical industry with Weikang Technology, he has not seen a doctor with a pure heart.
But in the position of the dean, this position is also considered to be the middle level in the entire medical system, and there is a pure heart, Yang Xiaotian is something he has never seen before.
Yang Xiaotian continued: "The ninety centimeter-wide hospital bed can be squeezed out by the couple holding a child! You know the food in the hospital, the clear soup is low and cheap, the cheapest five yuan can be a day, and the cabbage is almost like no salt!"
When I went to my brother's place, there were many families, so I bought a meal and ate it for three families!"
Speaking of this, Yang Xiaotian's mind came up with the picture of the day.
In one ward, there were 20 sick children, plus their parents, a total of 60 or 70 people, and they basically had to walk sideways.
Those children, although because of the damage to the brain, the language and expression skills are very poor, and some even make people feel bored.
But those eyes are indeed innocent.
They don't know what the world means to them.
As soon as you come, you lose.
Yang Xiaotian sighed and said: "Can you imagine? Other people's children, one or two years old, don't count if they drink branded milk powder, they have to be brought back from abroad by human flesh, and they only buy expensive clothes and shoes! But what about those children? Drink breast milk first, and when they are older, they don't have breast milk to drink, so they drink rice cereal, and milk powder is something they have never heard of! No, not only milk powder, they don't know what a milk bottle is! When they come to this world, they have only come into contact with their mother's milk, but not with rubber pacifiers. ”
Ye Ming nodded vigorously and said heavily: "I understand! I know why you are! I'm proud of myself for being able to contribute to this cause!"
Yang Xiaotian smiled and said: "Actually, I'm not that great, I just can't get over this hurdle in my heart, I think they should be able to live a better life!"
Ye Ming thought for a while and said, "Actually, if we take Chinese patent medicine, if it is only listed in China, maybe it won't be so troublesome!"
"Oh?" Yang Xiaotian looked at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Actually, I don't know very well, after all, I used to make medical devices! But I know that domestic drugs generally go through two certifications, one is FDA and the other is GMP!"
"FDA, I know, it's the abbreviation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration!" Yang Xiaotian nodded and said.
"Generally speaking, if you want to sell drugs abroad, you need to go through FDA certification! And many countries in the world recognize FDA!" Ye Ming explained, "Therefore, in many cases, through the FDA certification, this drug is unimpeded in the world! But it is precisely because the authority of the FDA is relatively high, so it is more difficult to pass the FDA certification, let alone Chinese patent medicine!"
Yang Xiaotian nodded and asked, "What about GMP?"
"You can understand that the domestic FDA is weaker than the FDA! Generally speaking, FDA-approved drugs are more expensive than GMP-only approved drugs!" Ye Ming said.
GMP translates to Good Manufacturing Practice, which was promulgated and implemented by the Ministry of Health in 1988.
The gmp has a committee that is subordinate to the drug regulatory department! This department has great power, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they can control the life and death of the pharmaceutical company.
To put it simply, they don't just judge whether the drug is qualified, they also care about how the drug is produced.
It's like raising pigs, using wheat bran is raising, using swill is also raising, and using feed is also raising.
But there is such a department, he will tell you that the state wants you to use swill to raise it, and use other food to raise it, and the level of production management is too low!
The corresponding pharmaceutical company is that there are many ways to refine the same drug, such as aspirin, but GMP tells you that you are only allowed to use this one way to refine, and the other methods are too backward.
And even more powerfully, he can also stipulate how many pharmaceutical factories have the right to produce this drug, on the grounds that it is necessary to avoid duplication of construction.
