Seaman and five other staff members of the O'Haim Pharmaceutical Group first arrived in Miri City in Tema Country by private plane provided by Locke, then took a special car from the airport to the seaside, and then took a boat to the port of Feso.

This is the quickest and safest route from Loba to Port Fesom without having to go through other parts of the country. As long as the weather is right and the itinerary is arranged in advance, you can leave after breakfast and arrive before dinner.

The apartment buildings in Takahashi Town are in a great setting, with terraces looking out over the wetlands and surrounded by lush vegetation. Port Fesot is tropical, but it's not as hot as many people think, otherwise the southern coast wouldn't be a holiday destination.

The light rainy season in early winter is certainly not dry, and the temperature between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius remains generally between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, which is the best time of year in Afroport Africa. In addition to the lack of luxury hotels, the town of Takahashi, located in the agricultural reclamation area, is actually in a better environment than the southern coast.

As for the manor, the entire Beisuo River basin is a huge manor.

They were not quarantined for long, having undergone two nucleic acid tests and one serum antibody test within three days, and the results were all problems. Interestingly, blood tests showed that Mr. Seaman had been infected with the latest virus, but had been cured.

They didn't leave Takahashi Town after the quarantine, there were no hotels on the southern coast, and they didn't want to deal with the locals too much, they were people from two worlds, and it was best not to have a relationship.

Negotiations began on the first day, with Huanxiang Industry being the host party for Seaman and others, arranging the trip and ensuring their safety, and the partner was the newly established Non-Sogang Health Research Center.

The center is headed by a local lady named Cathy, who founded the charity health research center after receiving overseas sponsorship.

On the surface, the center has no affiliation with Huanxiang Industrial, but its registered place is in Gaoqiao Township, and it rents the office space of Huanxiang Industrial for free rent.

It is said that Ms. Cathy successfully persuaded the relevant leaders of Huanxiang Industry to realize the importance of health research, and thus attracted a donation in the local area, which is free office space.

When Seaman first saw Cathy, he was fascinated by this charming mixed-race beauty, but when he dealt with it next, he felt quite a headache.

Huanxiang Industry and the new alliance did not come forward directly, and everyone knew what role the health research center played in it, but as soon as the talks began, they developed in an uncontrollable direction.

The original plan of the Ohaim Pharmaceutical Group was that they would provide vaccines, new alliance providers, and international hospitals would have special laboratories to provide data, and all the results would be the results of the Oheim Pharmaceutical Group.

Of course, it is important to verify which vaccine is effective, but it is even more important to find unknown side effects, and sometimes even to manipulate the data. For example, if there are two vaccines with similar efficacy, one of them can be declared more effective, while the other "may have" "unknown side effects" that were not originally available.

This kind of thing is not uncommon and is often done for business or political purposes. The idea of capital and the idea of medicine are not consistent.

How to choose two drugs with similar effects? It will not only look at who is good and cheap, but whether it can have patent rights and agency rights, whether it can control the production and sales links, and whether the various groups involved in it can maximize their interests and hidden interests.

For example, anyone can produce a drug, and each copy is only sold for one dollar, and the technology of another medicine is in the hands of oneself or allies, and each copy can earn a thousand yuan, don't think about it, of course, you have to choose the one that can earn a thousand yuan.

What about the kind of medicine that only sells for a dollar? You can find ways to stigmatize and marginalize it, squeeze it out of the market you control, and even out of people's attention.

In fact, most of the time, the benefits of so-called free market competition controlled by capital are confined to specially written textbooks. In practice, this is often the case described above.

This is also the free choice of capital, and the result of some form of market competition, just not in the way most people think. Otherwise, the former port of Afrosomo would not have fallen into such a state and could not see any hope, because it was already at the bottom of this world.

With the development of modern industrial civilization and information technology, the professionalism of various fields is becoming stronger and stronger, and what ordinary people can grasp is not real information but only public opinion, and behind public opinion there are also various interest tendencies to guide.

Hua Zhen Xing participated in this whole process, and as the negotiations unfolded, the purpose of Oheim Pharmaceutical Group was also exposed, which is also Hua Zhen Xing's learning and experience of the world. It depends on what kind of person he will grow into after all this?

The reaction of the health center was beyond Seaman's expectations, and Ms. Cathy ignored the appeal of the O'Haim Group and directly threw out the cooperation plan that had been prepared for a long time.

The health center does not organize trials of vaccines provided by the Ohaim Group, regardless of the source of these vaccines.

The Afsogang Health Research Centre has its own well-defined channel to collaborate with R&D institutions in Dongguo to conduct Phase III and Phase IV clinical trials of the three vaccines provided by Dongguo.

The new coalition will organize 6,000 volunteers, divided into six control groups, to conduct large-scale trials and record comprehensive data. The health center's choice for the O'Haim Group is that they can participate, including partners in international hospitals.

The Ohaim Group can be involved and share data, so they don't have to provide the vaccine, they only have to pay for the volunteers and part of the trial.

6,000 volunteers, with a total subsidy of 3 million meters, is already quite low, with only 500 meters per person.

This is because the local per capita income is very low, and according to incomplete statistics last year, the per capita annual income of non-Sogang was only 200 meters of gold. After the establishment of Huanxiang Industry this year, the local per capita income should increase significantly, but the improvement and coverage are only partial for the time being.

Comparatively speaking, the cost of transporting, storing, testing, and organizing and coordinating vaccines is much higher than that of volunteer subsidies. There is no lion opening up the health center, and the cost of Ohaim Group's participation and sharing of complete data is only $10 million.

With only 10 million meters of gold, you can participate in the whole process and get all the data of the 6,000-person trial, which is quite cost-effective. But Seaman was in a hurry, this was not the result he wanted at all, and it was not the way he wanted.

Seaman's original idea was to spend a sum of money to "buy" the leaders of the new alliance and organize a group of people to conduct drug trials in a closed state, just like the "business" that was often done in the past.

He didn't expect it to be such a large scale, the original plan was to reach the sky with hundreds or thousands of people, and the whole process of the test was led by the O'Haim Group, and all the data was mastered by them. The new alliance only needs to provide people, and nothing else needs to be taken care of, or even known.

He also has no intention of focusing on testing Dongguo's vaccines, and if other vaccines are safe and reliable, he even wants to give Dongguo vaccines trial data points that only they know about their own hands.

Seaman did not agree to such cooperation. However, Cathy told him that the health center would carry out the project itself, regardless of whether the O'Haim Group participated or not, and the reason why they agreed to participate was because the controller of Huanxiang Industry had greeted him.

It's not the same as what was negotiated in Brusse! So Seaman went to find Yang Tehong again. Yang Tehong was not available, and Tang Senzhi, vice president of Huanxiang Industry, received him.

Tang Senzhi told Seaman that the plan had not changed quickly, and that before he arrived, the local government had reached another vaccine trial cooperation project through the channel of the Dongguo Aid Project Engineering Department, which was an open and formal cooperation.

In the spirit of humanitarianism and in consideration of previous commitments, the health center agreed to the involvement of Otherm Pharma and to share first-hand data throughout the process.

In the end, Tang Sen asked O'Haim rhetorically: "Isn't the purpose of your coming here because the epidemic in Belli Country has been out of control, so you must determine a safe and effective vaccine as soon as possible?" Then this project will meet your requirements, and if you have other goals, we may not be able to meet them. ”

Siman didn't know what to say, so he asked directly, "Are you really at ease to cooperate with Dongguo?" Can you trust their vaccines? ”

Tang Senzhi smiled: "I'm from the East Kingdom, didn't you also come to me to cooperate?" ”

Seaman: "It's different, it's different, we have the most advanced technology, the best experts, and the original plan was that we were going to lead the whole process. ”

Tang Senzhi: "Does the Ohaim Group have its own vaccine that has entered the clinical stage? Since there isn't, don't say that. As you can see, there are a large number of Dongguo construction workers here, and the main projects of Huanxiang Industry are all built by them.

It is precisely because of this relationship that we have won this opportunity for cooperation through diplomatic channels.

Dongguo provides clinically proven vaccines, which are given priority to construction workers sent abroad. We strive to scale up and provide more comprehensive validation data. It's an open, fully formal collaboration. ”

Tang Senzhi is telling the truth, it is precisely because of the Dongguo aid project here, and there will be more engineering cooperation in the future, so there is this opportunity for vaccine cooperation.

The ability to openly recruit 6,000 volunteers is the organizational and mobilization capacity of the new alliance. In fact, even if the new alliance does not organize and mobilize, the more than 1,500 construction workers are very willing to receive the vaccine provided by Dongguo.

They all have their own information channels, including introductions from relatives and friends, and they have learned that small-scale vaccination has been organized in the eastern country, and ordinary people can't wait in line if they want to be vaccinated. Of course, the epidemic in Dongguo has been basically controlled, and there is no need for large-scale vaccination.

But Seaman could not have such an awareness, and it was normal for him to have doubts and even opposition to the project. Which country's vaccine to use is, in a sense, also a political choice.

Think about it from another perspective, if Dongguo does not have its own vaccine and the epidemic is out of control, it needs to choose a new vaccine from other countries and carry out large-scale or even universal vaccination, it will definitely be cautious, it is impossible to use it directly, and there must be all aspects of consideration.

Seaman could not and did not have the authority to make this decision, so he had to emphasize again: "Mr. Don, this is not the same as the result of the negotiations between you and Mr. O'Haim in Brusse. ”

Tang Senzhi said with a smile: "As long as the cooperation plan has not been formally finalized, we can continue to negotiate the details, which is what we told Mr. O'Haim at the beginning." If you can't make a decision, let Mr. O'Haim talk to him personally, and he should do it himself. ”
