Chapter 207: A Huge Contract
Remember [.la] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
In the past few days since returning from Changhai, Tian Lu's mood has been very happy.
Several directors of the neurology department who attended the meeting were very interested in Tian Lu's plan, and everyone chatted until more than two o'clock in the evening that night, and preliminarily agreed on the way to cooperate with each other in the future. Of course, after learning about Tian Lu's future plans, everyone agreed that this kind of cooperation must be carried out under his unified planning, as long as the results of basic research in the future come out, it is necessary to organize a larger-scale and wider clinical research cooperation, that is, by that time, more hospitals and institutions will be tied to Tian Lu's chariot.
Of course, Tian Lu explained this in advance, also to leave enough time for each institution to apply for research funding from their respective parent units.
The first time I cooperated with Professor Darcy was because Tian Lu just transferred epilepsy animal model technology to get a lot of income, and he really didn't want to waste time waiting, after all, only after the article was published, could he attract collaborators, and if he waited for everyone to raise funds, it would be half a year at least or a year at most, Tian Lu was really unwilling to wait and couldn't afford to wait. That's why he decided to take over the early funding of all the collaborators, but for the future cooperation, Tian Lu still decided to focus on the collaborators raising funds themselves.
On the one hand, Tian Lu has already achieved results and can see hope in the future, so even if he was informed in advance, everyone would be willing to join in, and on the other hand, this research is not only beneficial to himself, but actually to all participating institutions, so there is no reason why he should bear the cost alone.
Of course. If he applies for a national fund project, Tian Lu doesn't mind giving some subsidies to those partners who don't have enough funds, but it will obviously have to wait until next year.
And in addition to these things, the reply of the Nofi company made Tian Lu see that his plan for great development would soon become a reality, and in his own hands. As for returning to Jing Du, Leng Yan handed him the appointment letter of associate professor and master's supervisor, and fourteen eight-year students submitted an application to the Institute of Neurobiology to choose him as a doctoral supervisor. These things are a little insignificant.
Of course, these things are one of the wishes that make Tian Lu feel extra comfortable, which makes him smile all day these days. It made the people around me feel a little surprised.
Tian Lu's happy mood lasted until after the night shift on Friday morning.
After taking a shower, changing into a formal suit specially worn, and meeting up with lawyer Lu Xiaoding, who rushed from the law firm, Tian Lu got into his car and came all the way to Kuntai International Hotel.
It can be seen that Nofi attaches great importance to this cooperation, and the vice president in charge of this matter, Rosis, was once again present in person, and in a luxury suite, Tian Lu met the group of Nofi company.
"Nice to see you again. Mr. Tian Lu. β
Seeing Tian Lu, Lossis greeted him warmly, clenched his right hand vigorously, and said with emotion: "Thank you for finally choosing our Nofi company, please believe us." You will not be disappointed in the future!"
Tian Lu smiled slightly, and involuntarily increased the strength in his hand: "It is also my honor to be able to cooperate with the internationally renowned multinational pharmaceutical giant Nofi, thank you, Mr. Lossis." β
The two old friends finished politely, and then followed. Naturally, I introduced the entourage of both sides. Compared with Tian Lu, who only brought Lu Xiaoding as a lawyer, the negotiation team of Nofi Company is much larger, in addition to Professor House, who I saw last time, there is also a secretary-like blonde woman in her thirties, three lawyers, and even an experimental technician, a whole six people, all of whom came directly to Kyoto from the group headquarters of Nofi.
Seeing the other party's lineup, lawyer Lu Xiaoding felt a little surprised.
Just last weekend, Lu Xiaoding received a call from Tian Lu, saying that he personally had to carry out a patent transfer with a foreign multinational company, hoping to cooperate with him again. This made Lu Xiaoding excited at the same time, but also very surprised: after all, not everyone can transfer two invention patents in a row in less than a year. So in the past few days, Lu Xiaoding has still made careful preparations, because Tian Lu clearly stated that the amount of patent transfer this time is much higher than last time, and he doesn't want any mistakes.
However, seeing the huge negotiation lineup of Nofi Company in front of him, lawyer Lu Xiaoding was slightly shocked in his heart, and immediately understood: it seems that the "much higher" in Tianlukou is probably "much higher" in the true sense!
Sure enough, after everyone's greetings, when getting to the point, Lossis's first sentence made Lu Xiaoding's face change greatly, his body trembled, and he almost slipped from the sofa to the ground!
"Mr. Tian, after careful consideration, the board of directors of our company agrees with the second cooperation plan you proposed!"
Lossis sat up straight and said with a solemn face: "Within one month of signing the transfer agreement, the down payment of 50 million US dollars, and after the end of the preclinical trial, 50 million US dollars will be paid, and after the drug is launched, you will be paid 25% of the net sales profit as a sales share with a natural year as a settlement cycle!"
Five...... 50 million dollars!
Lawyer Lu Xiaoding's head rumbled with a chaotic sound, and his face was flushed!
didn't hear the conditions behind Lotis at all, but after hearing about 50 million dollars, Lu Xiaoding's head was completely boiled!
As one of the most senior international patent transfer lawyers in Kyoto, Lu Xiaoding has done a lot of high-value transfer cases in his career, involving two or three orders with an amount of tens of millions of dollars, but those are all foreign transfers to China, and all of them are corporate actions between large companies.
But what did that gringo just say?
50 million dollars?
In my life, no, should I say that since the establishment of the law firm, have you made such a big list?
Compared to Lu Xiaoding's panic. Tian Lu was much calmer, and a little unexpected, in addition to a faint smile on his face, there was even a faint hint of disappointment: "Hehe, Mr. Lossis, in fact, I would prefer your company to choose the first cooperation plan, which is actually the most beneficial for both of us." β
"Ughγγγγγγ I'm sorry. Mr. Tian Lu. β
Lossis smiled apologetically and explained, "Although Professor House trusts your information very much, and I personally feel that the third option is more in the interest of the company. However, the board of directors considered that there was still a certain amount of risk after all, so it ...... Before Lossis could finish speaking, Professor House on the side nodded repeatedly. His face was also full of regret.
At the beginning, he was afraid that his asking price would be too high, so that those multinational giants were afraid of risks and retreated, Tian Lu gave three cooperation plans, in order to make his patent transfer more attractive to them, so as to accept his own conditions. The three plans are all the models of a down payment of 100 million US dollars in the early stage, plus a sales share in the later stage, but Tian Lu gave three options in terms of the payment method of the down payment of 100 million US dollars in the early stage and the profit sharing ratio.
The first option. It is to pay $100 million within a month after the agreement is signed, and then wait for the drug to be marketed, and then pay 15% of the net sales profit as a share every year.
The second option is what Losis just said, which is to pay $50 million within a month after the agreement is signed. After the preclinical trial is completed, the total payment of 50 million US dollars is still 100 million US dollars, but the annual net profit share of sales in the later stage will rise to 25 percent!
The third option is a bit more complicated. $10 million will be paid within one month of the agreement and $40 million after the end of the preclinical trial until the end of the clinical trial. After the drug is approved by the FDA, Novi pays the remaining $50 million. But correspondingly, the annual sales net profit share in the later period will be as high as 35%!
Regardless of which plan, Tian Lu gave an additional clause: if any company in the world invents the same kind of drug before the expiration of the drug patent in the future, so that Nuofei has a competitor, then the sales share ratio in the later stage will be automatically reduced by 10% from that year!
Although Tian Lu knows very well in his heart that as a mature drug for large-scale clinical application in the future, it is absolutely certain that his small molecule compound will be approved by the FDA, and there will be no competitors within ten years. But after all, this is only known to him, and others dare not have this confidence, so he drew up three cooperation plans and gave additional terms for those multinational giants who are afraid of risks to choose.
And the current events also prove that Nofi still has some concerns about risks.
Although the laboratory evidence that Tian Lu has come up with now, after a comprehensive analysis by Professor House and the R&D department, believes that it is extremely feasible, it still cannot dispel the concerns of the company's senior management. After all, preclinical experiments, phase IV clinical trials, several years, extremely cumbersome steps, no matter which step goes wrong, it means that the company's huge investment will be wasted. There are too many such examples that have happened in the billions of dollars of R&D investment that Norfi has made every yearγγγγγγ
Tian Lu himself hoped that Nuofi would adopt the first cooperation plan.
For Tian Lu, there are many such opportunities in the future, there is no need to dwell on the later sales share, in fact, if it is not for the other party will never consider it, Tian Lu will even propose a one-time transfer of all patent ownership in order to obtain a larger amount of funds. It's just that the "possibly" risk in reality makes it impossible for multinational companies to choose this plan, and it also makes Tian Lu's idea come to naught.
However, Tian Lu still hopes that the initial capital can be as high as possible. Now he will not think about the follow-up gains, but pay more attention to the early gains. After all, only after expanding the scale of the laboratory and investing a lot of money, can he come up with more theories and results, and he can obtain more benefits faster. That's why he exaggerated the difference between the late divisions of the three schemes by 10 percent.
It's like in Tian Lu's mind, there is an inexhaustible gold mine, he only takes out a small piece now, and he needs to use this small piece to get funds as soon as possible, and then buy equipment to dig more gold mines! And the more equipment he buys, the faster he can dig it! So in comparison, it doesn't matter how much the first small piece of gold can be sold for, what matters is how much money he can get the fastest...... Mr. Tian, this is the preliminary agreement draft drawn up by our company, in duplicate, please take a look at it first. β
At the suggestion of Lossis's eyes, a polite lawyer pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose, took out a thick stack of printer paper from his briefcase, and handed it to Tian Lu.
After taking the two documents, Tian Lu kept one for himself, and handed the other one to Lu Xiaoding next to him: "Lawyer Lu, come and see thisγγγγγγ Lawyer Lu?"
Under Tian Lu's somewhat surprised gaze, Lu Xiaoding's body shook again, and he immediately recovered from his stunned state. After his face burned, he hurriedly took the first draft of the agreement handed over by Tian Lu.
Looking at the agreement in his hand in a panic, Lu Xiaoding's eyes quickly browsed through the text.
With such a huge transfer amount and so many terms of the agreement, it is absolutely impossible to read it on the spot, which is not only understood by Lu Xiaoding, but also by everyone else present. In fact, even though he was very uneasy at this time, Lu Xiaoding had already decided in an instant that after going back, he must gather all the patent attorneys in the law firm, and even all the colleagues who were involved in the margins, to conduct a comprehensive and detailed review of this agreement!
As one of the partners of the law firm, Lu Xiaoding was very sensitive to the fact that the largest order since the establishment of the law firm was not only a good opportunity for the law firm to bring rich returns: in this short moment, he suddenly had a feeling in his heart. This young man who he thought he would only work with once in the past may bring a steady stream of surprises to the law firm in the future!
So, this time, there must be no mistakes in this agreement!
After all, he is a senior lawyer who has practiced for many years, and with the sound of turning the page, Lu Xiaoding's mood quickly calmed down, and his violent heartbeat slowed down a lot, and gradually, his attention began to focus on the agreement.
It's just that when Lu Xiaoding turned to the contract amount and saw the second half of the paragraph that he didn't "listen" to just now, his heart suddenly shook like a giant hammer and drum, and at the same time his heart was chaotic, he couldn't help but sigh.
Oh my God! Where is this "much higher" in the field crossing?
No matter how you look at it, it's clearly a huge contractγγγγγγ οΌ~οΌ
