308 Patents for Sweet Dumplings

In the early 20th century, when medicine was not prosperous, an ordinary flu could cause a disaster for human beings, and the emergence of sulfonamide was absolutely epoch-making, announcing that human beings could produce broad-spectrum bactericidal and anti-inflammatory drugs on a large scale through chemical synthesis, opening up a broad world for medical research.

Following the success of sulfonamides, Situ Nan believes that with the deepening of research, more and more anti-inflammatory drugs will be developed by Giant Company, and eventually develop into sulfonamides that he was familiar with in his previous life.

In addition to the treatment of influenza, the wide range of effects of sulfonamides in other medical aspects will be gradually discovered, such as the prevention of infection after surgery, epidemic meningitis, sepsis, pneumonia, etc., sulfonamides will play a huge role.

With the victory of the sulfonamide treatment for the Spanish flu, the brilliant achievements of the giant company in the next ten or twenty years can be expected.

Due to the lack of supply, even if Giant Company positions the ex-factory price at 1,000 times the cost, it cannot stop the market's desire. A $5 bottle of sulfonamides for 100 tablets costs $5,000 on the market, and even $10,000 on the black market.

Prick really sold sulfonamides according to his sales plan, and in the first two or three months of sulfonamides, he actually sold sulfonamides at an average profit of 300 to 500 times.

In his private words, it's just that there are so many anyway, so why not let more people with money survive first?

Situ Nan did not interfere with this practice, he knew that it was not a matter of money, but a capacity constraint, and it was destined to have such an abnormal period.

With the passage of time, after the new factory and new production line are put into use, the price of sky-high sulfonamide will slowly fall down and return to normal levels.

Even so, Giant will become one of the most profitable companies in the world, as it has a monopoly on the production of sulfonamides. If other companies want to enter this market, they must overcome the two patent hurdles set up by Giant, and they must first obtain the raw material for the production of sulfonamides.

This originally very common dye was also invented by Giant and has been patented. Since the sulfonamide greeting, people have only woken up, and it turns out that Bailang Duoxi can also be used to refine sulfonamide.

It turned out that no one cared about Bailang Duoxi turned into a gold liquid, but only the giant company in the world can produce Bailang Duoxin, which has monopolized the production of sulfonamides from raw materials. *Very Literary*

Many chemical companies are aware of the business opportunities, but they are at a loss in the face of the two patent obstacles of Bailang Duoxi and Sulfonamide, so they can only pinch their noses and admit it, and can only obediently apply to Giant Company for the patent authorization of Bailang Duoxin and sulfonamides, even the eastern pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson are no exception.

After careful consideration and a hefty fee, Giant stingily granted the patent license to a medium-sized chemical company in Los Angeles, but rejected all patent applications for sulfonamides.

Of course, Giant Company will not be stupid enough to give the golden doll to others, as for the Bailang Duo Patent Authorization, Giant Company also knows which chemical companies have what ideas, but those shrewd chemical companies do not intend to buy the expensive Bailang Duo Patent without obtaining a sulfonamide patent.

Giant Company has made strict restrictions on the licensing of Bailang Duoxi's patents, and after the local chemical company in Los Angeles has obtained the patent license of Bailang Duoxi, the products produced can only be sold to Giant Company, and a year later, when Giant Company proposed to merge and acquire the other party, the other party readily agreed.

It is difficult to say which city in the United States has the largest number of people with the flu, because by October 1918, when sulfonamides were not available in large quantities, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and other large cities were still infected with Spanish flu every day.

But if you want to say which unit in the United States has the most infected people, it must be the military. The number of U.S. troops has swelled to 4 million, and more than 1.5 million troops are deployed in Europe, which has become the hardest hit by the flu.

If not dealt with in time, more soldiers will die from the flu than on the battlefield. Because one person in the military is infected, the virus will soon spread among tens of thousands.

After learning of the advent of sulfonamides, Pershing, commander of the U.S. Expeditionary Force, wrote in a letter to the U.S. Department of the Army, "Oh my God, the daily statistics in the logistics area are shocking to me, and I didn't know that my boys had this damn cold." If this situation is not reversed, it will not only be a blow to our soldiers, but may also affect our achievements in the war."

The military has once again become a large order for the giant company, and sulfonamides are required to ensure the use of the army first, and then hospitals and other medical institutions, as for pharmacies, it is very unlikely that they can be purchased.

The army demanded something that the giant company could not refuse, (which cheapened some of the army's logistics officers.) Although the profit is not as high as the market, it is better than the quantity, and there are various benefits.

To Situ Nan's relief, a month after the sulfonamide came out, Giant's Banlangen Pharmaceutical Factory in San Francisco was also put into production, and it sold well. Because after crushing the root of Banlan into pills, it is in line with the medical habits of Americans, and when taken with sulfonamide, the effect is more significant.

After the Radix pills were gradually recognized, doctors across the United States accepted Giant's claim that sulfonamide combined with Radix was the best treatment for the flu. For non-influenza patients, taking Radix can effectively prevent influenza, improve immunity, and is a must-have medicine for home travel, and has no side effects.

In addition to the Chinese in California's Chinatown, American GIs became the first to take Banlan root pills, and more and more small blue pills were distributed to soldiers along with pale white and yellowish sulfonamide tablets. After taking a large amount of sulfonamide and banlan root, the flu was brought under control in the army. The recovered American troops relaunched the offensive and tried to defeat the Germans in one fell swoop, which was already on the verge of collapse.

In addition to the U.S. military, Britain and France also asked the U.S. side to provide enough sulfonamides and banlangen. But the United States itself is not enough, how can it have the luxury of letting foreigners use it first! In addition to guaranteeing the military, more sulfonamides can only be given priority to flu patients in the United States. Americans are very selfish in this regard.

Wealth is moving, and it's true! The popularity of sulfonamides has finally aroused the covetousness of some people, because of the problem of output, many people hope that the giant company will license the sulfonamide patent to other large companies to expand production capacity, and Corey has been persuaded by some people openly and secretly. This information was immediately reflected to Situ Nan.

He checked it and found that there were shadows of some consortia in the east, in addition to Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, which is still not giving up, and even large chemical companies such as DuPont and Pittsburgh Coke Chemical Company were also involved.

The emergence of sulfonamides has given hope to many large chemical companies, just like wolves seeing meat, and they can't wait to go up and take a bite.

Others are okay to say, but the Pittsburgh Coking Chemical Company is not easy to refuse, because this company belongs to the Mellon consortium, Andrew also called Situ Nan, although he did not say it explicitly, but still mentioned in a roundabout way that if Giant Company wants to transfer the sulfonamide patent, it is better not to flow fertilizer and water into the fields of outsiders, after all, Situ Nan is also a minority shareholder of Coke Chemical Company.

The U.S. government would not come forward to ask Giant to transfer the sulfonamide patent, but in any case, Situ Nan still vaguely felt the expectation in Washington's eyes. The one in the White House is not only to lead the American people to win this war, but also to be a hero in the fight against the flu.

To give or not to give?

Situ Nan had a headache, he really couldn't bear to let such a big piece of cake be divided, but if he wanted to refuse the kindness of so many people at once, it was not that he couldn't do it, but that there was some turmoil.

Now is the critical moment for the transformation of the William consortium from military production, and if it follows and fights with those consortia in the east, it will inevitably affect the "retreat plan" that he has planned.

The so-called retreat plan is to rush ahead of others and implement all the benefits obtained from the war first. Now all the conglomerates, the big corporations, are doing this to a greater or lesser extent, and they already feel that the war years of profiteering are coming to an end.

And his shrewd father-in-law may have encountered the bad things of the coke chemical company after the war, and he set up an ambush here in advance.

"Alright! Think of it as a good deed! Since you want to share the cake, exchange it for something from before! Situ Nan thought about it inside and out, and finally decided to "nest again" and agreed to negotiate with some companies.

Giant began secret negotiations with Pfizer and other chemical companies, saying that they were willing to transfer the sulfonamide patent, but put forward harsh conditions, such as allowing the other party to exchange shares.

It's too harsh. Half of the greedy wolves were repelled at once, and even Johnson & Johnson was deterred, but Pfizer still held on.

At this time, Pfizer was not the top chemical and pharmaceutical company, but its strength should not be underestimated, and it was full of thirst for technology. They believe that after obtaining the patent license of sulfonamides, they will not only get the production technology of sulfonamides, but also step into a paradise in anti-inflammatory and antibacterial research.

Tongguò sulfonamide entered a completely new field of medical research, temporarily losing some of its benefits, but it will certainly be able to pay off enough in the future.

Pfizer's persistence surprised Situ Nan, and he deliberately found Prick to understand the situation of Pfizer.

"Pfizer is very persistent in medical technology research and development, and invests a lot of money in medical research every year. So they can trade their shares for sulfonamide technology, and it's no exception. Prik said lightly.

He has now adapted to his position in the Giant Company, and he is responsible for all the planning of the Giant Company's sales, so in his heart, he is still grateful to Situ Nan for his kindness.

"Do you think we're going to agree?" Situ Nan asked.

He had already exchanged opinions with Corey, the president of the Giant Company, on the matter, and the "honest man" thought the price was right, so now let's see what the greedy Prick in front of him has to say.
