[315] The Big Four

With the publication of the article in the New York Times, Duroc's international trade became famous, and hospitals, clinics, and family doctors across the United States eagerly sent countless order telegrams, phone calls, and letters, as well as a large number of local doctors in New York to buy medicines! For a time, it almost crowded the Duroc Trading Company!

And all pharmaceutical importers in the United States are not fools, they have found out the way and found Xingguang to ask for orders. And almost without exception, all require air freight, the sooner the goods arrive, the better! In just one week, Starlight received more than $6 million in orders from the United States.

With the successful trial of the first batch of drugs ordered by Shijie's distributors in various regions, and the news spread in the New York Times, Starlight's agents in Europe, South America, Oceania, and Southeast Asia also sent orders like snowflakes.

In the face of the influx of orders, Fok Yingdong even began to blatantly smuggle during the day.

At this time, China resumed its rightful seat in the United Nations and returned to the GATT agreement. As a result, the four major pharmaceutical service distribution and wholesale giants in the United States, Mackenson, Cardinal Health, Bergenbruswig and Amethos-Hesi, submitted a request to the Chinese Embassy in the United States to go to Puhai, China for business negotiations, hoping to obtain visa approval.

In the eyes of these four giants, if you want to buy, you have to find the source, and they are not willing to sell second-hand goods from a Hong Kong leather bag company.

In the face of the request of these four pharmaceutical wholesale giants, which have controlled more than 90% of the drug circulation in the United States, Ambassador Qiao Guanhua said that since China and the United States have not yet established diplomatic relations, it is better to hold a third-party visa for personnel exchanges. Ambassador Qiao suggested that they use visas from India, Sweden, Denmark and other countries to come to China.

Mr. White, McKensen's purchasing manager, sat in the reception room of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., and said dissatisfiedly: "Since China has joined the United Nations, why hasn't it established diplomatic relations with the United States?" If diplomatic relations with the United States are not established? How did you build your embassy? ”

"The United States and China have already established diplomatic relations, and we believe that as long as we recognize each other as valid, that is, we can say that we have established diplomatic relations since 1913," Ambassador Qiao explained. However, we do not understand that the U.S. government has now proposed to reconsider the establishment of diplomatic relations with China in its new capacity. Originally, we wanted to set up a pharmaceutical trading company in the United States as soon as possible to purchase a large number of medicines, but we had to delay because the two countries had not yet established diplomatic relations. If Mackensen, Cardinal Condeller, Bergenbruswig, and Amethoshyss can propose to the U.S. government to speed up the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, we can issue long-term business visas to your four friends. ”

The representatives of the four companies immediately heard that there was a huge business opportunity! These four pharmaceutical wholesale companies are inextricably linked with various pharmaceutical companies in the United States, and the situation of mutual equity participation is very serious, which can be said to be a relationship of both prosperity and loss. Seeing that the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States has been delayed, and even hindered the expansion of their profits, this makes them feel very unhappy.

At present, there is a large number of penicillin in East Germany in the U.S. market, which has caused the price of penicillin in the global market to plummet. Aside from penicillin, the rest of the hundreds of drugs, surgical medical devices, etc., operated by the four companies, as long as they can enter the Chinese market, how much profit will it be? The Chinese ambassador in front of him has clearly shown his intention to buy large quantities of medicines from the United States......

McKensen's White manager frowned and said, "These Washington bureaucrats, they are completely looking for trouble, and if they don't complicate the problem, they can't seem to show their existence, which is a complete waste of our tax dollars." I'm going to the board of directors to sue them! ”

Cardinal Health's representative, Manager Rodton, said: "Ambassador Joe, we will pass on your kind suggestions to our Board of Directors at Cardinal Health. And I personally believe that the current third-party visa method has obviously affected the normal business exchanges between the two countries, which is not conducive to fair trade between our two sides. ”

Hayes, the manager of Bergen Brusweig, also said indignantly: "Yes, we could have exchanged a large number of drugs needed in your country for streptomycin and isoniazid, which are currently produced in your country, damn it!" ”

Luke, the manager of Amesushais, asked: "Ambassador Qiao, is your country willing to transfer the patent for the production process of streptomycin and isoniazid?" You must have mastered the ability to prepare these two drugs on a large scale, right? I noticed that Puhai Pharmaceutical Company in your country has started to apply for a patent for drug invention with the United States Patent Office. ”

Ambassador Qiao nodded, "In addition to applying for patents in major countries, we have entrusted Hong Kong Starlight to start applying for patent protection in other countries where there are patent laws in Shijie. Since these two drugs can save the lives of countless tuberculosis patients, the Chinese government is considering that for friendly countries and economically difficult countries, we are willing to transfer the production license and process principle of these two drugs at a low price in the form of a one-time transfer, but the equipment cannot be sold for the time being. ”

Luke asked eagerly, "Can you transfer it to us?" We don't want equipment, just the principle of preparation. ”

Ambassador Qiao nodded and said, "Of course, with the industrial production capacity of the United States, it will probably only take a year to start official production." ”

Luke asked, "How much is the transfer fee?" ”

"In fact, we are willing to actively cooperate with a powerful country like the United States, and we want the United States to produce these two drugs for a small and negligible royalty per vial, about $3 per bottle of isoniazid and $2 per bottle of streptomycin," said Ambassador Joe. ”

Mackenson's White manager pondered for a moment and said, "This is not expensive compared to the selling price, but since your country has already started to apply for patents, it should be recognized that the rights of Shijie countries in patents are recognized, right?" I wonder how your country plans to carry out patent protection for foreign rights holders and companies? ”

Ambassador Qiao resolutely said: "China is already preparing for the State Intellectual Property Office of China, and is drafting the Patent Protection Law, if nothing else, China will adopt the draft of the law next month." In the future, it is incumbent upon us to promote the protection of intellectual property rights in the country and in the scope of shijie, unlike the Soviet Union, we recognize intellectual property rights, we recognize the existence of patent rights, and we are consistent with the United States in this regard. ”

Ambassador Qiao continued, "In fact, we have many common interests with the United States, and in the future, as long as our two countries continue to exchange and cooperate in the spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences, we will be able to seek greater benefits for the two peoples." ”

Cardinal Contor's Roton Manager said with joy: "Ambassador Qiao, you are an enlightened gentleman, and I am confident that the Chinese government's open-door policy will bring the friendship of the American people to your people. I will be honest with the Board about your policy. ”

Ambassador Joe smiled and said, "Xiexie, your recognition, gentlemen. As long as we keep in touch, you will find that the Chinese nation is one of the kindest and most peace-loving peoples in Shijie, and the Chinese Government is one of the most democratic and enlightened governments in Shijie, and we are willing to make friends with all countries, regardless of what kind of political system and what kind of religious beliefs the other side adopts, in fact, we only care about defending the core interests that belong to our country and improving the living standards of our people. I've said this to your Secretary of State, Secretary Acheson, and I'm going to say it over and over again, to all the American people. We sincerely hope to establish a lasting and prosperous friendship with the governments and peoples of every country on Shijie. ”

After Ambassador Qiao finished speaking, the representatives of the four companies applauded applauded and welcomed Ambassador Qiao's statement.

On the same day, Cardinal Health's Lawton manager gave an interview to the Chicago Business Daily, truthfully relayed the promise of China's Ambassador Qiao, and began to put pressure on Washington. Call for the establishment of diplomatic relations as soon as possible. The managers of the other three companies also endorsed in the interview, demanding that the US government immediately establish diplomatic relations with China to better protect US corporate interests, patent rights, and international trade.

Ambassador Qiao looked at the Chicago Business Daily in his hand with satisfaction, and after reading the materials issued by the "491 Project European and American Policy and Regulation Institute", he knew that the current popularity of Chinese drugs in the United States is inseparable from the current weak supervision of drugs in the United States. Many small pharmaceutical companies and pharmaceutical companies in the United States simply ignore the weak FDA in this year, and all kinds of new drugs developed by the common people are experimenting, and the distribution and sales of millions of tablets are unmanaged. It wasn't until 1959, after the scandal of the new drug causing deformed babies on a large scale, that a more stringent drug amendment was introduced in 1962.

In the United States this year, there was only one "Pure Food and Drug Act" in 1906 in terms of medicines, and the provisions of the law were basically empty words, things should be clean! Don't eat the dead! There is also the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938, which shows how strange it is to continue to put drugs together with food and even cosmetics. The Act states that the FDA has the authority to inspect drugs for conformity, remembering, 'yes to inspect,' which does not mean that the FDA is actively inspected before it is sold or tested.

In short, the big chaebols who monopolized the manufacturing and sales of pharmaceuticals in the United States during World War II simply did not allow the government to put dog chains on them! If it is not in line with their intentions, what bill wants to pass, there is no door!

Ambassador Qiao said to himself: "Before 1962, there was no threshold for medicines. These four major sellers are really good, accounting for ninety percent of the sales channels...... It is time to fatten up slowly, so that they can gradually get rid of the interests of American pharmaceutical companies and tie up with our domestic medicines......"
