Chapter 59: Trade-offs
"In other words, curing a cold and getting rid of it are two different things, right? However, even if there is no cold virus, people will still get a cold, right? Isn't wind chill a type of cold? As a scumbag, Song Lingyun really doesn't even know anything about this. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"A wind chill is a wind chill, and a cold is a cold. It can only be said that the cold virus can be lurking in the environment around us for a long time, and even in the body of each of us, but in small quantities. Whenever the weather is dry and cold, that is, mainly in winter, cold viruses will multiply in large numbers when they encounter a suitable environment, which is easy to make people cold. In addition, after being exposed to wind and cold, the body's resistance will weaken, and the beneficial bacteria that suppress the cold virus will decrease, and it is easy to cause colds. I've just heard some of this, and that's probably what it means. Yun Wanbing gave Song Lingyun a popular science, in fact, she is also learning and selling.
Song Lingyun nodded, and then asked directly: "So, if we successfully develop a cold vaccine, how much benefit will we probably get, and how much benefit will it touch?" ”
That's the main thing, to distinguish between the benefits and the enemies, and then make choices and measurements.
"The benefits will be so great this time that we can't eat it completely, just like penicillin once appeared. And the enemy? The vast majority of pharmaceutical companies and all hospitals are basically our enemies. Yun Wanbing smiled bitterly.
After thinking about it for a while, Song Lingyun understood what Yun Wanbing meant, maybe this time life science and technology would stand on the cusp and become the public enemy of the biopharmaceutical and hospital industries, and even break bones if you are not careful.
It's not a joke, it's a possibility.
"Do you have more detailed analysis and data?" After a pause, Song Lingyun asked.
"Yes!" As she spoke, Yun Wanbing took out a laptop and opened the information package collected and analyzed by Life Science and Technology to Song Lingyun.
"Last year, the total global sales of cold medicines were about $80 billion, accounting for about 10% of the total drug market, which is a terrifying number. And in hospitals and clinics, about 1 in 10 patients are also treated for colds. It can even be said that colds are the lifeblood of small hospitals and clinics, and an important income category for large hospitals. Song Lingyun read it word by word, feeling extremely tricky, the benefits in this area are too great.
"In other words, once our vaccine comes out, about $200 billion of upstream and downstream related industries will be evaporated every year? Will there be millions of people who will lose their jobs in the upstream and downstream industries of cold treatment? Song Lingyun said solemnly.
"That's right! That's a lot more! However, there is also a staggering amount of profit involved. Even if 1 billion people were vaccinated with our vaccines, $200 per vaccine, that would mean a market of more than $200 billion, and at least tens of billions of net profits. Even after this wave of concentrated vaccination, the annual newborn will also bring us the least billion dollars in profits, which is worth a fight. Once successful, we at Life Sciences will be able to become a supergiant in the bio-industry. Yun Wanbing said excitedly.
The benefits are very risky, and it is obvious that the same is true this time, it depends on how Song Lingyun chooses.
"The pharmaceutical industry is very special, it is an important industry related to the safety of people's lives, and every country is very strict in its control. No matter how good our drugs are, if one link is stuck, I am afraid that they will not be able to enter a country's market. That is, it is not an industry that can compete freely. Unless it's life-and-death drugs, such as drugs that can cure cancer completely, or vaccines for super infectious diseases. Otherwise, they can all be sacrificed. Therefore, even if we develop a cold vaccine, we can only promote it if we give up most of the profits, and the profits are not as rich as you think. Song Lingyun shook his head and sighed.
"I think we can still try to get through this joint, what if it works?" How could Yun Wanbing not think of this, she was just unwilling to control the root of the drug by herself, she could obviously monopolize it, but she still had to be controlled by others, and most of the profits were taken away by others.
"Don't try it, it's not a joke to fight back with the full force of several industries, there's no need for that. From the very beginning, my plan was to develop new industries and be a pioneer in the industry myself, rather than taking food from the mouth of the tiger and being a public enemy and desperate people. Song Lingyun resolutely disagreed.
"Alright! In that case, we simply go with open licensing and charge a license fee. In this way, it can not only save a lot of effort, but also protect some interests, let others fight barearmed, and even engage in internal division. Yun Wanbing said regretfully.
"Yes! That's $100 million per license, plus $30 per production royalty, and we don't care about how much it sells. Anyway, our research investment is very low, and we make money no matter what. Song Lingyun doesn't care about this, the attraction of money is not so big, and too much money is just a number.
Since he had to deal with the matter of cold vaccines, Song Lingyun conducted the auction of the first batch of 12 Titan Dogs on the same day, and sold all the Titan Dogs at the highest price of 18 million US dollars and the lowest price of 3.47 million US dollars, with a total amount of 83.68 million.
Returning to Rainbow Manor again, Song Lingyun felt relaxed, and his heart was full of security.
Since obtaining the Nine-Colored Crystal Fishing Rod and catching more and more good things, Song Lingyun has become more and more insecure outside, and his strength is really difficult to protect himself, even if he is a super human now.
Only within the life barrier of Rainbow Manor, or even more precisely, within the life barrier of the Ancient Tree of Life, can he enter the life space at any time, that he has an absolute sense of security, confirming that no force on this earth can break through the barrier of time and space and harm himself.
It is precisely for this reason that he resolutely transferred his relatives here and placed them under absolute security protection. Even if the moon in Australia is not rounder than Huaguo, and it is actually not as comfortable as Huaguo in overall comparison, he still has to do so.
Or, this is a manifestation of paranoia of victimization, but Song Lingyun would rather be like this.
After arriving at the Life Science and Technology Research Institute located on a hillside in Rainbow Manor, the director James immediately walked over with a middle-aged man who looked like a Chinese.
"Boss, this is Kang Yongsheng, a first-level researcher at our research institute, and he is also the one who developed a cold vaccine." James introduced to Song Lingyun that he knew that his boss knew no more than ten of the more than 300 staff members in the institute.
"You did a great job this time! I'm going to reward you with $10 million in prize money and $100 million in research costs at your disposal. Do a good job, this is just the beginning, and the end is still far away. "Song Lingyun came over, he was rewarded for meritorious deeds and morale, and by the way, he made a show and inspected the work.
