Fang Hanmin briefly introduced the general situation of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory to Director Lin, "The existing products are not only a single type, but also some old products. ”

Lao Lin is well aware of the current situation of the pharmaceutical industry, and he agrees with Fang Hanmin's point of view, "The existing products of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory are not only challenged in terms of efficacy and toxicity and side effects, but also face fierce market competition. ”

"We don't think the current situation will last long, and if we sit on it, it will be unsustainable."

Lao Lin felt that his words were reasonable, "Director Fang, no wonder your superior authorities want to hand over this burden to you, it seems that they may have seen this a long time ago, so they arranged in advance in terms of personnel arrangements, and expected young people to lead the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory to open up a new situation." ”

Because Director Lin is more than half a hundred years old, and he has been tired for a day, the focus of the guest and host is not on drinking, everyone met for the first time, just chatting casually, about an hour, Lao Lin was a little sleepy, Fang Hanmin saw this, proposed to end the meal, and sent him back to the hotel to rest.

At half past eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, Wan Cheng took Director Lin to the factory, Fang Hanmin took Lao Lin to the generic drug research group of the technology center, the test personnel were busy in their respective positions, he wanted to give the guests a detailed introduction to the process of drug synthesis, Director Lin waved his hand, "No need, I'll just take a look." ”

Fang Hanmin complied with the wishes of the guests, and he accompanied Director Lin to silently watch the operation of the test personnel in each position, but Lao Lin did not care about the technical details of the generic drugs, and only occasionally asked Fang Hanmin a few words when he saw the familiar operation methods, because these familiar operating procedures were also the content that Lao Lin had to contact almost every day when he worked in a research institute.

After watching the test process of the drug synthesis research group from beginning to end, Fang Hanmin asked: "We also have a raw material supporting research group, do you want Director Lin to take a look?" ”

This made Director Lin a little surprised, "There is also a special raw material supporting research group?" Then you have to check it out! Lao Lin believes that the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory can develop supporting raw materials for this generic drug, which must be for the purpose of doing things sincerely, and there should be no perfunctory ingredients.

Turning around and entering the raw material synthesis research group next door, he saw that some of the instruments and equipment in the laboratory were idle, and only five or six people were doing tests in front of the device, Lao Lin couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Director Fang, are there still some tests that have not been carried out?" ”

Fang Hanmin explained: "We need a total of 12 kinds of raw materials for this generic drug, and only nine kinds can be bought in the domestic market, and the remaining three raw materials can only be developed by ourselves. Nowadays, the three raw materials have been developed, and enough samples have been prepared for the generic drug research group, but one of the raw materials, the process technology is not mature enough, if it is put into production, the cost will be relatively high, we are optimizing the test, in order to reduce the production cost, those idle test equipment, is the synthesis device of the other two raw materials, because the test has ended, the equipment is temporarily idle. ”

Through the conversation, it was learned that the synthesis of the three raw materials is not easy, and while admiring the pragmatic spirit of the scientific and technological personnel of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, Director Lin was surprised by the scientific and technological strength of the factory. He believes that including the three raw materials, even if this patented drug is placed in a special drug research institute, it will take at least two or three years to imitate, and if the scientific research institutions of large domestic pharmaceutical companies are allowed to develop this drug, Director Lin feels that the time span will be extended to three or five years, and it may not be successful in the end.

Because it was still early, Fang Hanmin accompanied Director Lin to visit the technology center, and finally asked for a car and took Lao Lin to several main production workshops.

Knowing that Director Lin was going to take the train back to the provincial capital at two o'clock in the afternoon, at about 11 o'clock, Fang Hanmin notified Wan Cheng, the chief of the technical section, and the two deputy directors of the technical center to accompany him at noon and see Director Lin off.

Several people took a car to the hotel where they dined last night, Fang Hanmin asked Wancheng to arrange dishes and drinks, and told the hotel foreman to serve the food as soon as possible and not to delay the guests' trips.

On the one hand, the unit stipulates that it is forbidden to drink alcohol at noon, and in addition, Director Lin has to take a car back to the provincial capital in the afternoon, so he cannot be drunk, so although the cup in front of everyone is full of wine, except for Fang Hanmin who first raised a glass and proposed to wish Director Lin a smooth journey, the rest of the time is replaced by tea.

Wan Cheng and Director Lin first met, he is the specific manager of the generic drug filing declaration, he knows the purpose of Lao Lin's visit to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory this time, now, Lao Lin's field trip is over, before returning to the provincial capital, he wants to know Lao Lin's feelings, "Director Lin, yesterday reviewed our test records, and today went deep into the laboratory and production workshop to check, what is your impression of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory?" ”

Lao Lin took a sip of the teacup in front of him, then put down the cup, and said solemnly: "As for the test record, I said last night that it not only meets the requirements, but also does it very standardly. Today, I witnessed the operation process of the laboratory, which is impressive, especially in addition to the imitation of this patented drug, you have also developed three key raw materials for it, if reading the test records is not enough to completely dispel my doubts, the fact that I saw this morning makes me completely believe that the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory has not only successfully developed this generic drug, but also done a very solid technical work! ”

"I've seen it inside and out, and you also think that our technology development work has been done very solidly, and now the doubts are gone, Director Lin, there should be no problem with the filing and registration of our drug, right?"

Wan Cheng's words made the other party embarrassed for a moment, but Director Lin, who was used to seeing the big scene, didn't care about this kind of trivial matter at all, and he said very calmly: "As the gatekeeper of the drug regulatory agency, my previous attitude may have been too cautious, insisting on the technical development process of the registered product for the record, which is not only my responsibility, but also responsible for the enterprise, otherwise, once there is a problem, everyone is responsible, this point is also understood by Director Fang and several leaders." ”

Wan Cheng dealt with the regulatory department for the first time, and did not understand the regulatory procedures, and may think that Lao Lin deliberately made things difficult, but Fang Hanmin felt that drug supervision was a very serious matter, and he understood Lao Lin's approach very well, "Director Lin, we are very welcome to the enterprise to supervise and inspect, drugs are special commodities that treat diseases and save people, as a regulatory agency, I think it is impossible to overestimate the requirements for enterprises, and Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory is willing to accept any form of supervision." ”

Lao Lin saluted with tea instead of wine, "Thank you for your understanding!" With such a solid test foundation, this generic drug of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory will soon be registered for the record! However, I don't know one thing, as a local enterprise whose scale and reputation are not outstanding in the same industry in the country, how did you think of copying this drug? Although the efficacy of this drug is very good, its patent protection has just expired, and as far as I know, no one in China has heard of anyone developing it in imitation. ”

In order to answer Director Lin's question, Fang Hanmin briefly introduced the short, medium and long-term scientific and technological development plan of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, "As the first step in the implementation of the plan, we chose to imitate this patent expired drug for two purposes, one is to prepare for the product upgrading of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, and the second is to train talents for the implementation of scientific and technological development planning." ”

Director Lin was engaged in scientific research in a research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in his early years, and was transferred to the Provincial Food and Drug Administration to engage in management work a few years ago. Not to mention a medium-sized local state-owned enterprise, even those prestigious industry tycoons, I have never heard of any company with such an ambitious plan, and the enterprise that attaches so much importance to scientific and technological progress is the first in China.

Fang Hanmin's words aroused Director Lin's curiosity more and more, "Director Fang, with all due respect, as a local enterprise with weak scientific and technological strength and no scientific research atmosphere before, how did you think of making such a plan?" ”

Without waiting for Fang Hanmin to answer, Wan Cheng took it, "Because Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory has tasted the sweetness of scientific and technological progress." Director Lin, the production process of these old products in our factory is the most advanced in the same industry in the country, I don't know if you visited the production workshop this morning, did you notice? ”

Lao Lin tried to recall the visit process in several production workshops in the morning, "Vanke reminded me, no wonder the situation I saw in the workshop in the morning is different from the situation of other manufacturers of similar products I have seen in my impression, it turns out that you are not using traditional technology?" ”

"Five or six years ago, we used new technology to transform the traditional process, and now not only eliminate the three wastes pollution of the traditional production method, but also the product quality is the best in the same industry, and the production cost is the lowest in the same industry. Our hydrogenation reduction process has also won the first prize of the provincial scientific and technological progress! Wan Cheng said proudly.

"You are really good at bringing the old products to this level! That's the power of science and technology! Director Lin praised him sincerely.

"But we can't rest easy! Now these products do well, after all, they are still old products, in the increasingly competitive pharmaceutical market, at any time may be replaced by new products with better efficacy, which is why we focus on scientific and technological progress, so we have formulated the short, medium and long-term scientific and technological progress plan of the enterprise. Fang Hanmin explained.

Director Lin nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, people have no long-term worries, if an enterprise wants to prosper for a long time, it must take precautions, and it will be eliminated sooner or later." Director Fang, as far as I know, it is not easy to plan for the enterprise, especially for the medium and long-term planning, to develop a short, medium and long-term scientific and technological development plan for your enterprise, indicating that the enterprise has capable people, it seems that the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are many talents! ”

Fang Hanmin smiled and said nothing, Wan Cheng took over, "Actually, whether it is the technological transformation of old products, or the scientific and technological development plan of the enterprise, as well as the ongoing development of generic drugs, all of this is led by Director Fang, and he is the one who carries the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory forward, it is not wrong to say that the hidden dragon and the tiger are crouching tigers, but whether it is a dragon or a tiger, it should all refer to Director Fang, and others are not qualified." ”

Director Lin couldn't believe his ears, and he asked in surprise, "Did I hear me right?" All this is led by Director Fang? Single-handedly carried the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, Director Fang, you are amazing! ”

Fang Hanmin waved his hand, "Vanke's words are exaggerated, how can I have such a great ability!" Without the support of the old factory director and these young scientific and technological personnel, I would not have been able to do anything! ”
