Next chapter

The next day, Pierce, deputy general manager of McKinsey, personally came to the Hilton Hotel to greet Lin Johnson and Yu Hongda and a group of more than 40 people, who flew to Los Angeles on a large business jet, and finally arrived at the California Pharmaceutical Group.

Pierce, a former head of McKinsey Asia, has been working with Mr. Lin for four years. Dongxing Group has a long-term cooperation with McKinsey, and this time the equipment and technology imported from California Pharmaceutical Group are thanks to McKinsey and Company.

Yu Hongda and Cong Fukui were very surprised, but they didn't expect Lin Qiangsheng to use a private jet.

Although Lin Qiangsheng explained to them that this private plane was leased as a travel tool for them for half a month, this had already shocked these leading cadres who had never seen such a scene.

"You don't have to be restrained, if you need anything, you can just talk to the two flight attendants, you're welcome, you can use the drinks on the plane as you like!" Lin Qiangsheng said to everyone, helping everyone find their place.

"I really didn't expect to go abroad this time, I saw everything, it's really worth the trip!" Someone said with a sigh, and the others nodded their heads. They all felt that this Lin Qiangsheng was not simple, and with this economic strength, they were a little overwhelmed.

The first time everyone took a private jet, they only felt that the decoration was very luxurious, the whole process was very comfortable, and it was very fast, it took about 1 hour to arrive in Los Angeles, and the plane landed at a private airport, saving the time of waiting.

The California Pharmaceutical Group sent a deputy general manager to receive everyone, and when he saw that the delegation was flying on a large business plane, he immediately became respectful and cautious.

Brandt is also the person in charge of the negotiations with the Dongxing Group, and from the pomp of the other party, the strength of the Dongxing Group should not be underestimated.

In fact, Americans also pay attention to face, but they are higher than private jets, luxury yachts, and others.

The group boarded two luxury buses and were taken to the California Pharmaceutical Affiliate Factory for a tour.

Brant euphemistically explained some discipline to Lin Qiangsheng and others. At the request of the foreigners, they handed over their cameras and other things, and they were not allowed to take pictures in the factory.

Everyone accepted such a regulation calmly, and then everyone changed into dustproof clothing and walked into the production workshop of hepatitis A vaccine.

"It's so advanced, it's all computer-controlled."

"Yes, there is no such advanced production line in the province!" It was not very convenient for everyone to communicate, and everyone was wearing masks.

With the visit, Yu Hongda and others saw the fully automated vaccine production process, and there were few workers in the factory of Nuoda. Looking at the clean and tidy workshop and the orderly production line, everyone also secretly compared the domestic level, and the technology of the fifties and sixties cannot be compared with the Americans at all!

"The hepatitis A vaccine we manufacture has an 8% market share in the U.S. and is exported to more than 20 countries around the world, and the vaccine generates more than $600 million a year for the group," Brant said. ”

"So profitable!" After listening to the translation, everyone was surprised, they didn't expect that there would be such a big market for a small vaccine, and 600 million US dollars is nearly 6 billion yuan on the black market!

Yu Hongda asked Lin Johnson: "Johnson & Johnson, they occupy 8% of the market share in the United States, is it more or less?" ”

Secretary Yu is how big is the hepatitis A vaccine market in the United States, it would be good if he could enter this market, and how much foreign exchange could he create for the country!

Lin Qiangsheng said: "In fact, occupying 8% of the market share is already very remarkable. The pharmaceutical industry in the United States is highly competitive and adopts a completely competitive market mechanism. Every order of pharmaceutical companies is hard-won, you think about dozens or hundreds of pharmaceutical companies to compete for the market, 8% of the market share is already very good! ”

"It seems that this company is very strong!" Yu Hongda secretly said in his heart that the introduction of equipment and technology to California Pharmaceutical Group was more urgent. It's not easy to come to the United States once, everything you see is good, everyone does feel this way, but they don't have any money in their hands, and they completely rely on the Dongxing Group in this regard.

"Alas, I can't afford it!" As a result, Yu Hongda sadly found that just relying on his own strength, he didn't do what he thought at all.

Brandt was also very curious about the Chinese visitors, and he had talked to Pierce before, and knew that the young man in front of him was the owner.

He said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Mr. Lin, we at California Pharmaceutical Group are very positive and sincere in cooperating with you, and we hope that both parties can jointly develop China's pharmaceutical market!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "Now in China, there are still some concerns about direct access to foreign medicine. We at Dongxing Group wanted to establish a joint venture with the local pharmaceutical factory, and gave up some interests. In fact, I am more optimistic about the follow-up cooperation between our two sides, we can jointly carry out the research and development of attenuated inactivated vaccines, combination vaccines and other technologies, and share patents! ”

Brandt did not reply directly to Lin Qiangsheng's construction, but said: "We will consider your construction, I think China is a populous country, and we have not made any progress in this country at present, but you already have a foundation and are ahead of everyone!" ”

"Yes, I hope to have a deep cooperation with an established pharmaceutical company like California Pharmaceutical!" Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said.

This time, the production technology of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine can be won this time, and other advanced vaccine technologies such as hepatitis B and polio can be negotiated with persistent efforts.

The reason why Lin Johnson was the first to introduce the hepatitis A vaccine was because he remembered one thing. In his previous life, from the end of 1987 to March 1988, on. 310,000 people in the sea have suffered from hepatitis A, and dozens of people have died!

The incident has been called "the largest outbreak of hepatitis A in the history of medicine" and was caused by unclean food. The local people have the habit of eating cockles, and the vast majority of patients have eaten contaminated cockles before the onset of the disease.

Fortunately, hepatitis A is curable, and most people can produce antibodies on their own.

Since it can't stop things from happening, then Lin Qiangsheng can just take advantage of this opportunity to get an admission pass for his pharmaceutical company!

In fact, China has always been a country with many patients, after all, it has a large population, so the pharmaceutical market must not be ignored!

In addition to hepatitis A, there is also a large base of hepatitis B patients in China. The former can be cured on its own, and timely treatment of hepatitis A will greatly reduce the risk of death, and humans have defeated hepatitis A.

According to statistics, there are 120 million asymptomatic hepatitis B virus carriers and 30 million chronic hepatitis B patients, which is almost one-tenth of the country's population in terms of the number of B virus carriers. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of the virus has become very important!

For Mr. Lin, it's a sizable market, with a population of more than 1 billion people in China, and the pharmaceutical industry is simply lucrative, and the industry will never go out of style.

Again, above. The news of the outbreak of hepatitis A in the sea is also known only to him, maybe before this outbreak of the virus, he can do something to promote and prevent it in advance, and it is unknown whether he can get some effect.

On the other hand, he was hesitant to take action for fear of affecting China's epidemic prevention process.

China is like this, when there is nothing to do, the top will turn a blind eye, and when things break out, the relevant departments and countries will pay attention. Above. The outbreak of hepatitis A in the sea has also reminded the upper echelons of the country that in addition to war, disease is also a matter of concern.

But in any case, take advantage of this opportunity to make the hepatitis A vaccine produced by Dongxing quickly. It is no problem to land on the sea and even expand into the Yangtze River Delta. And they may also be recognized and rewarded by the state, allowing them to enter the national procurement list of Class I vaccines, which is very important for his pharmaceutical industry!

It's not that Lin Qiangsheng doesn't want to sue others about this, but if he informs him in advance. Hai may have a big outbreak of hepatitis A, others will definitely think that he is a psychopath, and it is a big sin to spread rumors in any era, and he does not want the upper echelons to suspect that he has other motives.

The delegation was deeply impressed by the visit to the vaccine factory of the Pharmaceutical Group, and the advanced technology of the United States amazed the delegation.

Next, they drove to the southwest of Los Angeles, a county town some distance from the main city. Soon reaching their destination, they visited a local textile printing and dyeing company, where Lin Qiangsheng also met old acquaintances.

"Sister Meihua!" Lin Qiangsheng greeted Lin Meihua warmly.

In the past three years, Lin Meihua has become the chairman of a large textile printing and dyeing company from a black worker and an immigrant who is precarious.

With Lin Johnson's financial support, her bright mind and persistent beliefs, she gradually gained a firm foothold in the textile industry in California.

Lin Meihua said with a smile: "Hello, Xiaolin, you are a big boss, we have been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

She looked at Yu Hongda and the others, and said with a smile: "Welcome to visit, Lin's Textile Company!" ”

Everyone was also very polite, and everyone was very happy to see that this was a Chinese who spoke Chinese.

Yu Hongda asked Lin Qiangsheng strangely: "Lin's Textile, isn't this company also from Dongxing Group?" He was really curious about how many industries Dongxing Group has.

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said modestly: "Not exactly, I own 90% of the shares of this textile company!" ”

"Haha, Little Brother Lin, you are the big boss, don't be modest!" Lin Meihua said with a smile.

She said to the middle-aged man beside her: "Old Wu, this is Xiaolin, you have long said that you want to see it, and today you can be regarded as seeing it!" ”

Lao Wu's Mandarin with a little bit on. The taste of the sea dialect said politely: "Mr. Lin, our family is very grateful for your help over the years, please come in, I will take you to visit the factory." ”

This man is honest and simple, but he looks like a teacher. As far as Lin Qiangsheng knows, Lin Meihua's husband is indeed a university professor in China, and he is also studying in the United States, but Lin Meihua was unwilling to stay at home and went to the United States with her children.
