In the eyes of some people, Heinz Pharmaceutical is undoubtedly a big piece of fat.

Compared with Heinz Medical Devices, which purely relies on design to occupy the market and is very easy to imitate, Heinz Pharmaceutical is undoubtedly more attractive. Looking at its products, whether it is a competitor's aspirin, or the only sulfonamide and local anesthetic on the market, the price is extremely expensive, the cheapest aspirin retails for 5 marks a bottle, and the high profit can be imagined.

And the most important thing is that these drugs are simply not rejected by the market.

Before the advent of sulfonamides, doctors had nothing to do about meningitis and other things, and the inhibitory effect of sulfonamides on certain bacteria allowed doctors to interfere with the diseases caused by these bacteria for the first time; Local anesthetics are more convenient and safer to use than yimi and laughing gas, especially the mortality rate is very low, and surgical patients with a little financial strength will grit their teeth and use one; Compared with similar drugs such as antipyretic ice on the market, aspirin has obvious effects, but the side effects are very small, headache and brain fever are very comfortable, and with the development of anti-rheumatic effects, it is undoubtedly more important for doctors.

At the end of the day, there is no substitute for these drugs.

For the world at the end of the 19th century, the attraction of Heinz Pharmaceuticals was that its products had almost no competitors, and such an industry was undoubtedly the basis for profiteering. What's even more exciting is that Heinz Pharmaceuticals has subverted the traditional pharmaceutical industry!

In the pre-20th century, humans used natural medicine. Drinking alcohol can relieve pain, willow bark can reduce fever, sulfur can cure skin diseases, and yapian is a panacea, and the basis of these drugs is that they exist in nature. In the second half of the 19th century, the development of chemistry, especially organic chemistry, began to promote the development of medicine. People continue to purify their active ingredients from botanicals to obtain drugs with higher purity, such as emetine, quinine, cocaine, etc., including later aspirin and lidocaine, etc., in fact, they cannot jump out of this category.

But later Ehrlich ushered in the era of chemical drugs.

Of course. In this plane, syphilis can be cured, but the extremely toxic side effects of 606 have not yet appeared, but sulfonamides have been synthesized by John. It is no longer looking for drugs on the basis of existing substances in nature, but using chemical methods to synthesize drugs, just like the development trend of the German dye industry now!

John would not be naïve enough to think that no one in this day and age could find this.

“…… Would you like to meet the man? ”

John had been thinking about it since the ball was over.

The purpose of the other party is self-evident, either to seek a stake in the two companies, or to seek technology transfer and set up the same factory elsewhere. Since the launch of sulfonamides. Such temptations never cease. In fact, John has long expected this, whether it is the future or the end of the 19th century, there must be countless people like Heinz Pharmaceutical Company who want to take a bite, but most of the people who came to the door in the first two years were some pharmaceutical companies or chemical companies, and there is no particularly strong force, so the Huntelaar family is naturally not afraid of the current strength.

But for now......

Can Baron Cole help so hard. I'm afraid it's not going to be easy to deal with.

The thought of having a big man like Morgan in New York on the table gives John a headache that he can't speak. He wasn't afraid of anything else. I am afraid that the other party will use some means other than normal competition, which will be a trouble for Heinz Pharmaceutical Company, which has not a deep foundation......

Until he went to bed at night, John was still thinking about it.

The advantages of not working with others are obvious, that is, there is no need to worry about the danger of being swallowed up, and all the benefits fall into your own hands, but the disadvantages are also very prominent. Not only is the huge investment spent on their own money, but it will also affect the development process of the market. Regardless of the fact that Heinz Pharmaceuticals has annual sales of more than 20 million marks, in the eyes of discerning people, their development potential is far from being realized. On the one hand, because drugs are too expensive; On the other hand, Heinz Pharmaceuticals has only been established for a few years. Both production capacity and sales channels can only be slowly strengthened, if you change to an old company, sales may have already rushed to 50 million marks.

If you work with the right people or companies, some things are much easier, and with the performance of several drugs, they can be quickly spread all over the world, but the disadvantage is that it may affect the independence of Heinz Pharmaceuticals......

Come to think of it, it's all so a headache.

Early the next morning, when John talked to Brister about this with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, his future father-in-law smiled: "John, I've always wanted to talk to you about this issue, but you seemed to be more resistant to cooperating with others before, so you ......"

"Uh......"

Embarrassed, he opened his mouth, and John was speechless.

Speaking of which, he is not a stingy person, the previous flying pigeon bicycles, Lego toys, power companies, etc. did not refuse to cooperate with others, and even took the initiative to persuade Tesla at that time, seeking the support of financiers, but in these two companies he was more resistant, and let the Brister family become a shareholder only because of Anna's existence, and at the same time, he also needed someone to help take care of the company.

Now that you think about it, it's a bit extreme.

In fact, this is also related to what John's trip to Europe experienced, as soon as he arrived in Europe, John discovered Benz's ambition to expand the scale of General Motors and even bring in other capital, so he started to build a car factory in the United States. This was followed by the establishment of H&B, funding Röntgenium's research on X-rays and investing in the development of medical X-ray machines, all of which required John to invest a large amount of money. Even with John's current net worth, he feels a little struggling.

If John only had two companies and was in Europe, he could have put all his energy into them and patiently made them bigger and stronger, but the fact now that he will be in New York for most of the time and has a lot of ideas that are more profitable than pharmaceutical companies, it doesn't seem really necessary to insist on the purity of the company's shares as before......

"John."

After thinking for a while, Brister said cautiously: "Actually, it is very common for a company to establish branches in other countries, and it is normal to cooperate with locals, as long as you hold the majority of the shares, there should be no problem." ”

"I know that."

Leaning back, John said helplessly, "It's just ...... Sir, don't look at the fact that pharmaceutical companies are making very profitable profits now, but that's because I have injected several very mature patents that the company can directly make profits. But sooner or later, these drugs will be copied, and in order to remain competitive, we must constantly research new drugs, and this requires a very large investment...... You should know what Heinz Pharmaceuticals does, and I don't want anyone to get in the way. ”

"This ......"

After hearing John's words, Brister fell silent.

As one of the shareholders, Brister certainly knows what happened to Heinz Pharmaceutical. Don't look at the extremely hot sales of several drugs, millions of marks are credited to the account every month, but John spends money lavishly, and the huge expenditure makes him a little frightened every time he sees the financial statements. Among other things, the R&D building alone cost more than two million marks, and more than 100 researchers received more than 100,000 marks per month in salaries and expenses......

This kind of R&D investment is not comparable to other companies.

But even if he didn't understand it, Brister had a vague sense that John was right. Germany's current patent system recognizes the process, but not the finished product, so as long as someone uses other processes to produce these drugs, Heinz has no advantage. Although John thinks this should be a few years away, he has to plan for a rainy day, right?

After thinking for a while, Brister said with a wry smile: "This worry does have some truth, in this case, we can only think of a way to try to take both sides into account." ”

"Hmm......"

After pondering for a moment, John nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand what you mean, I will come up with a way to deal with this matter as soon as possible......" (to be continued......
