Chapter 129 Biopharmaceutical Research Institute
Dr. Han Mingrui, 44, was born into a poor family in Shaanxi Province and entered Yenching University in 1983, making a splash in his hometown. Because since the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, this is the only male child who has been admitted to the best university in the country.
He studied chemistry as an undergraduate, and after graduating from university in 1987, he continued to study biology for graduate school, and two years later he went to the streets with some people who did not know the truth because of his hot head. After all, it turned out that he was one of the high-IQ people, and he honestly went back to school in advance before the matter became a big problem. Later, like most people, he went abroad, took a doctorate in the United States, and lived abroad.
After several years of struggle, he also took root in the United States and became the chief technical director of a private biopharmaceutical research institute. The days are very comfortable, and he belongs to the typical person who has successfully realized the American dream, with his own two-story house, RV, wife and children.
But at the end of 2008, he encountered a major difficulty in his life, because of the mortgage crisis in the United States, the national economy was in a depression. The house that he had to repay the loan on his own became a big problem, because the private owners themselves were in crisis, so the financial support for the institute stopped.
However, relying on the two drug patents made by the previous research, they were sold to Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Company of the United States, and with the patent money and the two previous economic support from the party for the people, they barely survived.
But now, in order to get rid of his predicament, the boss actually negotiated terms with Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical in private, and the patent will no longer have its own research institute ratio in the future. Now the U.S. economy is very sluggish, and the salaries of the 11 people in the institute have almost dropped by more than 30, but everyone sees that there is still a job situation, so they are still holding on.
After Han Mingrui learned of this situation, he immediately held down the news and did not send it, and arranged for his best friend and subordinate Song Lianchun to fool everyone in the United States not to break up. He hurriedly contacted the party for the people, a possible big financier, he had already provided about 300,000 US dollars before, and Han Mingrui estimated that there might be a drama in the future.
The U.S. IT industry is very concerned about the party's performance for the people in the United States, especially the momentum of Pioneer Software and a group of sub-manufacturers to prepare to compete with ORACE and Microsoft P. A large number of mainstream media technology pages have published a large number of pioneering software introductions for the party for the people, especially his cooperation with IBM is very eye-catching.
All investors have taken note of this rapidly rising IT company, such as the famous Computer Weekly, which published a special section on Pioneer Software, a company that made its fortune in India. Whether it is the open desktop system OpenWindows or the FreeSQ digital library, both have their own unique technical features, coupled with the previous successful marketing, it is likely to become another shining star in the IT industry.
But the strange thing is that this president Tang Menglong also has a strange temper, and he actually refused the cooperation requests of several investment companies in the United States. When talking to IBM, he also refused to be acquired or cooperate to establish a new company, so the mainstream comment is that this Tang Menglong wants to reap greater benefits and benefits.
Han Mingrui knew that Mr. Tang had gone through the most difficult period of starting a business, and as long as he was not brain-dead in the future, he basically became a member of the rich team. Although it is not known his motive for providing $300,000 in a row before, for him, there is no helper in the United States, and the only one who has come back to life is this IT upstart.
The waiter led him to a conference room with sleepy eyes, and Han Mingrui calmed down and pushed the door open. On one side of the oval-shaped conference table, a young man sat steadily, heard the door knock, and glanced up at him.
To be honest, Han Mingrui was really taken aback when they met for the first time, because he was born in biology and knew a lot about animal habits. Before his eyes, he saw a cold light in the young man's eyes, with a little carnivore's crazy bloodthirsty taste. The feeling made his hairs stand on end, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
The party for the people has not yet recovered from his mental condition, and after sitting in this small conference room, he is still haunted by his mental problems. Now, he kind of understands why he was thrown away when he was a child, looking at his genetic map, his parents were eighty percent of the abnormal people at that time.
He sketched on a blank sheet of paper as he pondered what to do next. When he came to his senses, he found that the white paper was full of dense biomolecular formulas, which were the structural formulas of the new drugs he had been considering for a while.
When I looked again, I found a middle-aged man standing there a little embarrassed, stretching out half of his hand at a loss. Dang Weimin stood up, smiled and shook Han Mingrui's hand, and shook it a few times.
"Is it Dr. Han? I'm sorry, I was distracted by some questions just now. ”
"Huh? Well, it's me. Mr. Tang? Han Mingrui looked at this young man carefully, but found that there was a sincere look in this person's eyes, and his attitude was also very enthusiastic, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was dazzled by the tiredness of the road just now?
"Mr. Han has worked hard all the way, why don't we rest for a while and then talk?" Dang Weimin looked at Han Mingrui shaking all over, knowing that he had taken two planes from the United States in a row, and he was probably really anxious to rush back to China desperately.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang, let me tell you about the situation first." Where can Han Mingrui still sleep now? His career is all in this research institute, and if this research collapses, his career and life will fall into a great crisis. So he had to hold on to Tang Menglong's line, in a sense, this was his only chance.
After listening to Han Mingrui's narration, Dang Weimin had no expression on his face, just quietly drank the water in the cup and did not speak for a long time. Looking at his expression, Han Mingrui only felt that his heart was falling down, and he felt that there was really little hope this time.
As a pharmaceutical research institute, the shortcomings are only two important patented drugs, which can be estimated for sale before, but now the biggest reliance is gone. There are too many small institutes like my own in the United States, and each of them is desperately working on projects, and if there is no result for a period of time, the sponsor will generally withdraw the fund, and the end result is that the door is closed.
Dang Weimin's expression was very strict, but he felt extremely good in his heart, and he had seen this Han Mingrui's technical achievements before. As a person in his 20s who came to the United States to break through, it is already very good, and being able to gain a foothold in the highly competitive biopharmaceutical circle like the United States itself shows that Han Mingrui's strength is strong. If it weren't for the Yankees who caused the sub-world mortgage crisis, Han Mingrui might not have been willing to invest in a boss who is engaged in IT. ,
"Mr. Tang, in fact, our research institute is very strong, although we have lost the patent income of these two drugs, we can still launch new projects when we have time." Han Mingrui tried his best to persuade him, hoping to tempt the financier with the painted future pie.
"What is the basic operating cost of your institute for a year? Also, show me the basic personnel situation of your institute. "The party thought about it for the people and decided not to be too enthusiastic, otherwise Lao Han would not be in such a hurry.
"Now it's a million dollars a year, but that's the basic running cost, and it's not enough to start a new project." Han Mingrui hurriedly handed over the materials he was carrying, which contained the basic information of the employees of his research institute.
"Well, it seems that the cost of pharmaceutical investment is very high." Dang Weimin said as he flipped through the materials, he opened the personnel list of the institute, and looked up and down, five Asians, two Slavs, and the others were local Native American whites.
"Yes, it is generally quite financially expensive to invest in new drugs, and the investment is large for a long time, but the profit is quite high when it is successful." Han Mingrui saw that the party was a little moved by the people, and hurriedly instigated the plan, in case he scared people away, there would be no drama. "Like our previous two patents, the investment was in the millions of dollars, but the profit has already exceeded 10 times."
"Really? In this case, you should have made a fortune a long time ago, why are you still so sloppy? Dang Weimin closed the materials, stared at Han Mingrui and asked, he was now very puzzled that the profits from the two patent fees did not seem to have been earned by the institute.
"No way, in the United States, big pharmaceutical companies like Johnson & Johnson have their own development departments and control some research institutes on the periphery, and those are all fixed shares. A small research institute like mine is much more miserable, and just researching it is the first step in the long march, and the rest is very cumbersome, so the American pharmaceutical industry has a large group of drug donors who profit from it. In addition, my research - this article is transferred from Shushu.com - shushuw./shu/26549/4155604.htm - all the previous financial investment was sponsored by a gentleman, but after success, he will eat most of it. In this sense, he is the real boss of the institute, and we are just part-time workers. Han Mingrui recounted the basic situation, and after listening to the party's feeling that the people had benefited a lot, he knew why the United States had such high medical expenses and doctors had such generous incomes.
In the United States, for example, research institutes, pharmaceutical companies, sales companies, and hospitals form a huge interest group that is working to make American health care very expensive. The most surprising thing is that the United States is the only country in the world that does not have universal health insurance, except for those under the age of 16 and those over 60 years old, who have general health insurance, the rest are all commercial insurance.
"This dentist is the most popular doctor in the United States, which is kind of interesting." Dang Weimin and Han Mingrui sat on their chairs and began to talk, thus knowing a lot of inside stories about the American pharmaceutical industry, which could not be understood.
"Obama wants to have national health care in the United States, and now there is a lot of resistance." Han Mingrui said.
"Is it against this group of pharmaceutical doctors or something?" The party knows for the people that the black guy is jumping very happily, and universal medical insurance is the target of his key reforms.
"In addition to the pharmaceutical industry, the most important thing is that many people do not support it. Americans think that state-run enterprises mean socialism, so Americans are sometimes brainless for the sake of "political correctness." In fact, Okuhezi just wants to provide national insurance in addition to commercial insurance, and the new medical reform is enough to pass it. Han Mingrui said that he is in this industry, although the pharmaceutical industry is directly related to him, but deep down he still supports Aohei.
"Haha, that's interesting, this is also the American version of 'I'd rather have a high-burden health insurance for capitalism than a universal health care for socialism that is not socialist.'" Dang Weimin looked at his watch, it was already half past nine in the morning, and he was so engrossed in the conversation just now that he didn't notice the time at all.
He stood up and patted Han Mingrui on the shoulder, "Dr. Han, I bought your research institute directly, and I will strongly support your work in the future." ”
Han Mingrui was overjoyed, and the burden of a thousand catties in his heart was suddenly put down.
"Dr. Han, you take a rest first. Then you and I will go to Jiangbei City tomorrow, and I need you to be a staff officer. "The party was a little worried that he couldn't find an industry insider, but now it seems that Han Mingrui is technically okay, and he took him to see if the factory was worth it.
