Lin Chen and Mr. Xiao Zhan found a place to sit down.

The promotional video of Zhourui Pharmaceutical was repeatedly played on the big screen of the venue, and the rumbling sound spread all around through the sound.

The aerial camera swept over the Zhourui Pharmaceutical building and landed on the logo of the company's blue dove of peace.

"We are Zhourui Pharmaceutical, committed to healing life and improving the quality of life of all human beings......"

The righteous and stern male voice narrator sounded, the sliding door of Zhou Rui's pharmaceutical hall opened, and following the camera, you could see the energetic employees in the pharmaceutical company. The camera keeps moving upwards, passing through the R&D laboratory, and the workbench is lined with employees in light blue dust suits, and the picture looks orderly, bright and clean.

This reminded Lin Chen of the dirty mining area deep in the rainforest, where everything was in stark contrast.

The male voice in the promotional video continued to read in a recitation voice: "Zhourui Pharmaceutical has the world's most advanced R&D team, with world-class R&D capabilities, we are forging ahead, investing more than 10 billion yuan in R&D of new drugs every year, and as of June this year, a total of 52 new drugs have been implemented on the market......"

There are many charts and graphs in the picture, showing Zhourui Pharmaceutical's R&D investment and related R&D achievements.

In short, of course, the press conference is also a corporate publicity meeting, and these things must be there. Lin Chen took a brief look and always felt that over the years, Zhourui Pharmaceutical had made some contributions.

The deafening and passionate corporate promotional video finally stopped after being played dozens of times.

Lin Chen noticed that there were some gray-haired people in the front row who were obviously accompanied by the staff of Zhourui Pharmaceutical, and some young and middle-aged people, who should be the backbone of hospitals or research institutes.

Lin Chen was suddenly pinched by Mr. Xiao Zhan's arm, he looked to the side, and Mr. Xiao Zhan, the second generation of the chemical plant, said excitedly: "Oh my God, Mr. Lin, did you see it, oh my God, Academician Zhang is also here!" ”

Lin Chen didn't know why he looked in the front row, and he really couldn't see anything from those backs, but just now, among the experts in the front row, he seemed to see the doctor who asked them to come to see the promotion meeting yesterday.

Like the excited Mr. Xiao Zhan, there was naturally a commotion at the scene.

There was no need to ask, Mr. Xiao Zhan took the initiative to explain in his ear: "That's Academician Zhang from the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences!" The big bull of the big bull! ”

"You know?"

"No...... I don't know ......" Mr. Xiao Zhan was suddenly embarrassed and immediately wilted, "I...... I wanted to go to Academician Zhang's doctoral program, but I didn't get in...... Enter. ”

The fact that a top expert from the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research was invited to the scene to stand on the platform of a pharmaceutical company was somewhat subversive of his cognition.

"Is that appropriate?" Lin Chen asked, "Will the academicians be willing to come to the business acupoint?" ”

Mr. Xiao Zhan hurriedly pushed him and said seriously: "This is not a cave, Mr. Lin, you should be quiet." ”

The people around him cast a lot of eyes, so Lin Chen shut up, in this kind of place, it is obvious that if you say too much, you will lose.

"I don't understand."

"You probably don't know about these problems in the pharmaceutical industry." Mr. Xiao Zhan lowered his voice, "You see, if a new drug is to be promoted and marketed to cure patients, who will give it to whom?" ”

"Of course, it's the doctor to the patient."

"Mr. Lin, you're right...... However, there are many types of drugs on the market, even simple antipyretics, there are a variety of types, so how can doctors obtain new drug information to distinguish and choose a certain drug for a certain patient? ”

"Doctors always have their own way to understand ......"

"Of course, but doctors are really busy with their work, and there are too many types of drugs, so one of the main ways for doctors to understand drugs is to promote them themselves. Generally, when a new drug is launched, the first thing for pharmaceutical companies to do is to carry out large-scale promotion activities to explain the treatment mechanism, efficacy, and clinical trial results of the drug...... The arrival of experts is, of course, the result of an invitation from a pharmaceutical company, but it is also the best opportunity for doctors to learn about new drugs. In fact, the thinking in the medical system is also very stubborn, and the promotion of a new treatment idea and drug sometimes takes a long time before this drug can completely replace the previous class of drugs and be accepted by people. If the replacement is successful, the process of mutual benefit and ultimately benefit the patient can be truly achieved. Mr. Xiao Zhan said.

Lin Chen sighed lightly: "There is nothing wrong with what you said, after all, in essence, there is no commercial benefit from the use of drugs on patients, and there is no money to promote a new round of research and development......

"Mr. Lin, you can think like this, it's really amazing, at least it's different from those who think that doctors and pharmacists collude with each other and have to make hard-earned money on patients. In fact, if pharmaceutical companies can't make money on a certain disease, then they are likely not to invest a lot of money in the research and development of new products, such as a vaccine for a niche virus that few people do, and a brain injury rehabilitation drug like Nordren, which has produced and updated many generations of ...... by itself."

Mr. Zhan was about to start chattering again.

"Mr. Xiao Zhan." Lin Chen interrupted him.

"What did you say?"

"I said, when you talk about your expertise, suddenly you don't get nervous."

"I ...... I'm not...... Not nervous ......"

Mr. Xiao Zhan's face turned red, and at the same time, the lights in the venue dimmed, and someone slowly stepped onto the stage. It was a middle-aged man with a big belly, a middle-aged man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, semi-bald, and the chairman of Zhourui Pharmaceutical.

"Welcome experts from all walks of life and friends from all walks of life to participate in our Zhourui Pharmaceutical's new drug Nordren promotion conference, about the listing of Nordren has indeed happened a lot, recently Zhourui Pharmaceutical has also conservatively questioned, Nordren this drug is indeed ill-fated, including ourselves once thought that this drug may no longer be able to contribute to the cure of disease. But after all, it is an epoch-making new drug, and we believe that it is effective and that it should serve all patients, so we have made a lot of efforts recently to make it finally marketable. Here, I would also like to thank friends from all walks of life for their help. ”

The audience applauded thunderously, and the chairman of the surrounding pharmaceutical industry did not shy away from the problems that have arisen around Nordren recently, and used a very understatement to bring one of them over.

Lin Chen calmly looked at everything on the stage.

I saw Mr. Chairman wave his hand: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense, please watch Nordren's promotional video." ”

The large screen suddenly brightened, a new drug configuration appeared, and the model on the screen rotated 360 degrees.

Many people were looking through the promotional materials placed on each seat at that time, Mr. Xiao Zhan looked at it very seriously, and Lin Chen began to pay attention to the reactions of different people on and off the podium.

"The reason why Nordren is a new brain science drug is that it abandons the common treatment ideas of dredging and filling leaks, and pays more attention to neuronal repair. Its active ingredient was obtained decades ago by our scientific culture of a type of bacteria found in the soil of the Dana rainforest, and researchers have designed and synthesized a variety of different derivatives in the hope of enhancing the fat solubility of the drug to cross the blood-brain barrier. Once in the brain, Nordlen's designed-derived drugs undergo rapid metabolic changes to turn back into the new active ingredient. The information in your hands contains relevant clinical trial evidence, and according to the relevant results......"

"Did you find anything?" Lin Chen turned his head and asked.

Mr. Xiao Zhan was stunned: "What did you find?" ”

Lin Chen realized that the other party was not a criminal servant who came to investigate the case with him, but just an ordinary chemical expert who wanted to save his father's corporate reputation.

"Is Nordren really as amazing as he says he is?"

"Huh? Magical? Mr. Xiao Zhan put it down, "It's very powerful, the idea is very new, but...... Maybe it's not magical. ”

Lin Chen frowned: "Didn't you say a brand new idea?" ”

"The most novel thing about Nordren is the disassembly and recombination of the active ingredients to pass through the blood-brain barrier, the biggest role of the blood-brain barrier is to prevent compounds in the blood from entering the brain, the advantage is to prevent harmful substances from invading the brain, but in the same way, the blood-brain barrier also blocks the entry of therapeutic drugs, thereby affecting the treatment effect." The preaching on the stage continued, while Mr. Xiao Zhan explained to him in more understandable words.

"And then?"

"Then, Nordren is actually the previous generation of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular drug TERN of Zhourui Pharmaceutical and a two-drug fixed-dose combination containing the antiplatelet agent ADP, TERN changed the configuration, and introduced the ton component just mentioned, and reorganized the new drug, this idea is very powerful, it is indeed something I have never seen."

Mr. Xiao Zhan's tone was very normal and relaxed, but Lin Chen was stunned.

He rubbed his eyebrows, he always felt that there was extremely important key information in Mr. Xiao Zhan's words, but this kind of information has been hidden in the most obvious place because of their lack of medical expertise.

He clenched his fists and finally made up his mind.

"Come out with me." He patted Xiao Zhan on the shoulder.

"Ah, what, the meeting isn't over yet." Mr. Xiao Zhan didn't know why.

"Come out with me." Lin Chen emphasized.

The hotel corridor outside the venue carried the characteristic smell of the hotel's incense, and when they came out, they were routinely interrogated by the guards.

Lin Chen took Mr. Xiao Zhan to walk casually in the corridor, and finally Kaiku: "I have a question, I want you to help me analyze it." ”

"You...... Why are you so polite. ”

"On the stage just now, Chairman Zhou Rui said before the bumpy problems of their company's Nordlun listing, what do you think about this."

"I ...... I don't know......"

"I mean, do you think there's something wrong with Nordron?"

"Have you always thought there was something wrong with Nordron?"

Lin Chen looked at Mr. Xiao Zhan's expression and felt that this young man probably remembered what he said to the attending doctor at the door of the MRI room yesterday.

"There shouldn't be any problems if it can pass the test of the Food and Drug Administration, and after so many phases of clinical trials, unless Zhourui Pharmaceutical deliberately falsifies the data, this efficacy is indeed there."

"What about side effects, does Nordren have strong side effects?"

"It's hard to say about the side effects, for example, Herceptin, a breast cancer treatment drug, in the later treatment process, patients who use it are found to have symptoms and signs of reduced heart function, we all say that the drug is three parts poisonous, you say that a certain drug must have no side effects, this is not very ......"

Lin Chen listened quietly to Xiao Zhan Xiaosheng's narration and did not interrupt the young man.

"The side effects are in a controllable range, that is to say, within a certain data range, it is acceptable, and Zhourui Pharmaceutical is not stupid, if they know that Nordren has strong side effects, why should they promote it, just the patient claims will make them lose their bottoms."

Lin Chen fell into deep thought.

Xiao Zhan said that they have repeatedly mentioned the problem, and now it seems that based on all the information in the past few days, some things can be found.

First, there should be no big problem with the Nordren drug itself, otherwise Zhourui Pharmaceutical would not have promoted this drug on a large scale.

Second, there were unspeakable problems within Zhourui Pharmaceutical, so much so that they replaced all their suppliers.

Third, as the head of Nordren's R&D, Stancom should have discovered some things, and before she wanted to expose them, she was killed by Shen Lian.

Fourth, all along, Shen Lian has used Duanyang to prevent Nordren from going public by fabricating lies.

But the question is, what conclusions can be drawn from this information?

Lin Chen looked at the young man beside him and asked, "If someone goes to great lengths to not want Nordren to go public, what do you think is that person's motives?" ”

"Are you talking ...... Are you talking about Zhourui Pharmaceutical's competitors? Mr. Xiao Zhan asked nervously.

"Competitors?"

"Because Nordren's idea is indeed very new, if it can be successfully promoted on a large scale, there will be no room for survival of drugs that will crowd out other manufacturers' old ideas, except for competitors, I ...... I can't think of anyone who wouldn't want Nordren to go public? ”

"But what if Zhou Rui's insiders don't want a certain drug to do?"

"It may also be the competition of the internal team, for example, if the company pushes your drug, then the previous drug I developed will be forced to slowly withdraw from the market, or the project of the new generation drug I am developing will be cancelled......"

"Predecessor drugs?"

Lin Chen suddenly felt a feeling of extreme horror: "You just said, what is the relationship between Nordren and Zhourui Pharmaceutical's previous generation of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular drugs?" ”

"Nordren is a new type of drug produced by the previous generation of drug TERN after being reconfigured and adding a new ingredient TON," Mr. Xiao Zhan wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nordren is a modification of the previous generation of drugs?"

"It's more complicated than improvement, this is not a simple inheritance...... 166 Reading Network
