Chapter 222: Viagra
"Oh, then I'll thank you for them!" Li Hanxiang said with a smile, but Ling Shizhe listened to his tone very reluctantly.
As the No. 1 director of DreamWorks, Li Hanxiang knows that the film that DreamWorks has invested the most is not the currently released "Tang Di Gong Case", nor the popular TV series "Kitchen God" and "The Lion Descends the Mountain", but George. Lucas is filming Star Wars.
For this movie, Ling Shizhe even invested a supercomputer and a super graphics computer, these two expenses alone are more than 200 million US dollars, and the directors who worked with DreamWorks are crazy with jealousy, everyone thinks Ling Shizhe is crazy, saying that he is on George. Lucas, a big liar, how can he use supercomputing to make a movie? has never been seen in history, Ling Shizhe can be regarded as a precedent in the history of Hollywood.
Even Hollywood's various media came to join in the fun, saying that Ling Shizhe's investment in "Star Wars" was the biggest investment failure in Hollywood history. The so-called watching the excitement is not a big deal, this kind of crazy hype of the Hollywood media, the "Star Wars" movie was hot before it was broadcast, so that the whole world knew that Ling Shizhe, a big fool, invested two supercomputers in order to make a movie called "Star Wars".
Historically, "Star Wars" is just a science fiction series of movies, and at this time and space, "Star Wars" is a global hit comic, with a large number of fans in Western countries, when they know from the media that Ling Shizhe did not hesitate to invest in two supercomputers in order to make "Star Wars", they were all crazy. They called Ling Shizhe the successor of Howard. The new generation of Hollywood heroes after Hughes, as long as they are not too badly filmed, they will go to the cinema to support. Some fans also went to DreamWorks Studios in Raccoon Town to cheer on the "Star Wars" crew.
As the first director of DreamWorks, see George. Lucas, a rookie director, is so valued by Ling Shizhe that if he doesn't have an idea, he will be a hell of a thing.
After working together so many times, he can't compare to a fledgling newcomer, and this newcomer is still a ghost old, Lucas took his position as the first director of DreamWorks as soon as he came, can Li Hanxiang feel good?
If it fails, if the movie succeeds, Lucas will completely sit in the position of the number one director of DreamWorks, and Li Hanxiang will be in a very embarrassing situation, which will make him deal with DreamWorks in the future?
understood that this great director was thinking, Ling Shizhe had to explain: "Director Li, for Lucas, I know you have some emotions, I put my words here today, no matter what happens in the future, he can't replace your position in DreamWorks." George. Lucas and we are not all the same, DreamWorks and him will always be a cooperative relationship, whether Star Wars is successful or not, Lucas's focus will only be on his Industrial Light & Magic. You're the real director of our DreamWorks. β
Ling Shizhe's words are obvious, because Lucas has his own business, and his focus will only be on the computer special effects laboratory of Industrial Light and Magic, and it doesn't matter whether he has a dream factory or not, so he can never be a dream factory person, he can only be a partner.
And you Li Hanxiang is different, you are a pure director, you can only rely on the film company to survive, as long as you film for DreamWorks well and let the company make more money, I, Ling Shizhe, will not treat you badly.
After getting Ling Shizhe's assurance, Li Hanxiang's purpose of coming this time was achieved, and after gossiping, Li Hanxiang and Lin Fengjiao and others also said goodbye and left, and Ling Shizhe also took a photo with them before leaving.
The house was suddenly cleaned, Li Li walked back to the house, made a glass of juice for Ling Shizhe, and asked, "Have you talked about it?" β
"This big director has some emotions, and he came here to promise me, and I calmed him down for the time being." Ling Shizhe then took Li Hanxiang and George . Lucas's grievances were detailed.
Li Li said strangely: "How could Li Hanxiang have such a strange idea, he should know very well that DreamWorks is an authentic Hollywood company, it is impossible to make Chinese films all the time, and it is only a matter of time before he makes Western films, and he and Lucas are two people in different fields, how can there be a conflict?" β
Ling Shizhe smiled bitterly: "If he could think about it, he would not be so bumpy in his life, first he had a falling out with Run Run Shaw, then he was banned by the Taiwan authorities, and now he is having an awkward relationship with Lucas." You see, there will be more moths in the future. β
"What, do you think Li Hanxiang is likely to leave?"
"It's not that it's possible, but it's definitely going to go. Li Hanxiang himself is a person who is not willing to be lonely and full of ambition," Ling Shizhe explained, "In the past two years, he has developed too smoothly in Hollywood, thinking that his films can kill both China and the West, which seduces the ambition that has been temporarily buried in his heart again, and wants to fly solo like Bruce Lee." β
"Didn't he set up a Hollywood company?"
"It was an empty shell, and now he wants to make it real." Ling Shizhe took a sip of juice, "This is the entertainment industry, there is always no shortage of ambitious people, especially talented people like Li Hanxiang." I'm 100% sure that there must be a shadow of Run Shaw and Wrinkled Arms in this. β
Li Li said: "In that case, don't you want to think of a way to keep him? β
"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, if he wants to leave with peace of mind, I can't keep it, but don't worry, he won't leave for at least five years. Run Run Shaw wouldn't have supported his filmmaking like I thought, and Wrinkle was busy building cinemas and studios, and didn't have that much money for him to play. In Hollywood over the years, Li Hanxiang's taste has been raised, and he doesn't look down on Run Run Shaw and Wrinkle Huai. β
"Isn't it too unfair for you to treat him like this?" Li Li complained.
"There's nothing unfair, this is the reality of the entertainment industry, he wants to fly solo and I will do it, he wants to produce it independently, and I will do it by him, as long as he gives the film to DreamWorks for distribution." Ling Shizhe replied, "Okay, let's not talk about this, when will the penicillin be supplied by China Resources?" β
"Next month, a million in total."
Ling Shizhe stood up suddenly, and said loudly in surprise: "How can the raccoon hospital digest a million penicillins in a year, you must know that there are regulations in European and American laws that antibiotics cannot be used indiscriminately!" "This is not the continent of the later generations, a hospital can digest a lot of antibiotics casually in a year, not to mention a million, even if it is 10 million antibiotics, any tertiary hospital in the future can digest it for you.
But in Europe and the United States, it is different, they have formulated various strict laws to ensure that antibiotics are not used indiscriminately, once it is found that the qualification to practice medicine is cancelled, not to mention, the doctor will also face prison, does Li Li want to defy the law?
Li Li glanced at him and said: "Of course I know the laws in Europe and the United States, these penicillins are not only used in our hospitals, in Canada, hospitals buy penicillin from pharmaceutical companies for eighty dollars, and I get it from China Resources?" A box of twelve sticks is only $1.6 in total. If I wholesale penicillin to them for forty dollars a vial, how much do you think we're going to make in a year? β
"That's the idea you had in the first place?" Ling Shizhe suddenly said: "The idea is good, but have you thought about it, if penicillin produced outside Canada wants to be marketed, it must obtain permission from the Canadian government, do you have it?" β
Li Li smiled and said, "Husband, if I don't dare to buy penicillin from China Resources?" β
"If you want to get a license, the price is not cheap, how did you get it?"
"If a foreign company wants to get a drug sales license from a Western country, of course, it will cost a high price and may not be able to get it, but what if it is a domestic company?" Li Li stroked the hair around her ear, "I bought a small pharmaceutical company in Canada that has a marketing license for antibiotics in North America. β
The more Ling Shizhe listened, the more confused he became, since he bought a pharmaceutical company, why didn't he produce it himself, but bought it from China Resources Company, what kind of logic is this?
Li Li was completely defeated by him, and said angrily: "Oh, this is not learned from you, I am responsible for R&D and sales, and production outsourcing." β
"Ah, that's fine! Aren't you afraid to leak pharmaceutical technology? Pharmaceutical production and electronics are two different things! β
"What's wrong with this, penicillin has long expired since its birth, and now it can be produced in many countries, why can't the production be outsourced?" Li Li asked rhetorically.
Ling Shizhe now understands that although medicine is different from direct outsourcing like electronic products, it is not without outsourcing operation space, and the key is to comply with three key points: first, the drug must be past the patent period; Second, overseas enterprises must overcome the production technology of drugs; Third, the price of outsourced drugs must be cheap.
If even one of the above three points is not satisfied, the outsourcing of drug production cannot be established, because it is tantamount to leaking its own technology.
Penicillin is exactly in line with the above three points, penicillin was born in the 20s, and now it has long passed the patent period, and at the same time, New China has long conquered the manufacturing technology of penicillin, and the price is much cheaper than that of Europe and the United States, and the quality is not worse than the penicillin produced in Europe and the United States, which has achieved the three elements of outsourcing production, so Li Li outsourced the production of penicillin in the name of this pharmaceutical company in Canada, thus saving a lot of costs.
High, really high, Ling Shizhe admired, it is really better than blue, outsourcing has played tricks, taking advantage of the information asymmetry between the United States and China, playing an outsourcing price difference.
If you think about it carefully, only Li Li can play this kind of game, China is still in a closed country and does not understand the world, and European and American companies do not understand China's national conditions at all, even if China Resources Company knows that penicillin is sold at a very high price in Western countries, but there is no market channel to enter, it can only stare dryly.
Li Li was different, taking advantage of Ambrera's charity hospital to find out the difference in medical prices between China and the United States, so she used Ambrera's name to buy a pharmaceutical company in Canada first, and then let this company take the lead in outsourcing production, easily avoiding the market access system for similar drugs abroad, so as to make a fortune in the market.
After figuring it out, Ling Shizhe knew that this windfall Li Li sister was decided, so he asked, "Which pharmaceutical company is called and what's the name?" How much did you pay for it? β
"Maple Leaf Pharmaceuticals, a small pharmaceutical company focused on anti-inflammatory drugs, including antibiotics, had not done well because the product was not competitive, and several of the company's partners were not going to continue to operate, so I bought it for $30 million."
"Thirty million? You take so much money? "Li Li doesn't have the shares of Ambrella's company, her living expenses have always been given by Ling Shizhe, over the years, her money has added up to less than 10 million US dollars, and she can't take out 30 million.
"The Foundation has money, so why not let the Foundation buy it?"
"So that's ......" Ling Shizhe thought for a while and said, "After all, the foundation is engaged in charity, penicillin will definitely make a lot of money, and the foundation has got so much money at once, if it is not spent as soon as possible, it will be disqualified as a non-profit enterprise by the government." In this case, it is better to transfer it to your private name. β
Li Li shook her head and said, "No need, I'm not interested in making money, I just bought it to raise a little more money for the charitable foundation, and transfer it to the name of Ambrera Company, right?" β
Ling Shizhe smiled, "You don't regret it?" It may become a big pharmaceutical company like Pfizer, Square Enix, and Novo Nordisk in the future. β
Li Li looked at him unexpectedly and said, "What, you still know about pharmaceuticals?" β
"I don't know about pharmaceuticals, but I know the prescription of a drug, which can make a lot of money for the company."
"What kind of medicine makes so much money?" Li Li asked.
βviagraγβ
"What kind of medicine is this?"
"An oral PDE5 inhibitor specifically designed to treat male dysfunction is effective in improving penis/stem/erection/stiffness."
For a moment, "You rascal/scoundrel!" Li Li flicked her legs......
Syllable!
"Ah!! Help, wife, this is medicine!!!! β
