Merck ...... Merck & Co., Ltd., to be exact.

Merck & Co., Ltd. was originally a subsidiary of Merck KGaA. in Germany.

However, fate broke up the Merck family, and during the First World War, the Merck Group lost many overseas subsidiaries, including the beautiful country Merck.

Merck was taken over by Merck as an independent company, and since then it has severed ties with Merck KGaA, Germany, and merged with Shadō Pharmaceutical Factory in 1953, so it is now correctly called MSD.

After 30 years of development, Merck and Co., Ltd. sat on the throne of the world's largest pharmaceutical company in 1985, and this position will continue until the merger of Pfizer and Warner Lambert in 200.

Director Lin, Ms. Li, Vice President Yang and more than a dozen members of the negotiation team were sitting nervously in the MSD Hospitality Room.

For the hepatitis B vaccine, they have been in contact with Merck many times, and have experienced dozens of large and small negotiations.

"Do you think Merck will say yes?"

Director Lin was a little worried, but he was still used to calling Merck as Merck.

Vice President Yang smiled bitterly: "I feel that the possibility of agreeing is very low, after all, our bid is too low." ”

"Yes, people have to pay 100 dollars for triple needles, and the 10 million dollar index given to us above is not enough, how can people agree?" Ms. Li was also quite helpless.

While we were talking, the door to the conference room opened from the outside.

LUO Yin. Dr. Vagelos and a group of senior Merck executives walked in.

"My old friend Lin, we're meeting again, hehe."

Dr. Vagelos held out his hands towards Director Lin.

Director Lin hurriedly stepped forward to hug each other in English, "Doctor, long time no see." ”

Dr. Vagelos patted Director Lin on the back twice, let go, and said, "Dr. Zhao didn't come this time?" ”

Vice President Yang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Dr. Zhao is now the director of our Institute of Biology, and he is busy with official business and cannot go abroad. ”

"That's right."

Dr. Vagelos was thoughtful, then invited everyone to sit down and introduced the higher-ups to the group.

For example, the Minister of R&D, Allison. Hoin, Marketing Minister Liam. Jack and Mason, the head of the sales department. Randy and a bunch of people.

After getting to know each other, everyone sat down in two rows of the conference table.

The two sides have started a new round of negotiations.

“…… A hundred dollars for a triple needle is really too expensive......"

“…… Our minimum requirement is $100, you know, no profit......"

“…… Introduction of production line ......"

“…… We can't afford to pay ......."

This conversation lasted more than two hours.

Merck has always bitten the lowest price of $100 for triple needles, and as for the introduction of the production line, Luo Yin. Dr. Vagelos is willing, but Director Lin and the others only have 10 million US dollars, so it is impossible to negotiate.

At this time, Director Lin had no choice, he had to take out a few newspapers from the old briefcase, "Doctor, I know that it is difficult to persuade you to provide a production line for Huaxia with 10 million US dollars, but please take a look at these news, we Huaxia really have no choice, and you also know that our country is not rich now, and it is the limit to be able to come up with 10 million US dollars, we will continue to talk after you finish reading these old news." ”

"What's the news? Let me see. ”

LUO Yin. Dr. Vagelos reached out and took some of the newspapers and read them.

I saw that there were shocking news reports related to the hepatitis B virus.

120 million people with hepatitis B virus!

20 million newborns are at risk of hepatitis B infection every year!

This report pierced Luo Yin like a sharp sword. Dr. Vagellos' heart!

He looked at the news with a shocked face, and the whole person was silent.

Director Lin looked at Luo Yin. Dr. Vagelos did not speak or speak.

LUO Yin. Vagelos sat there frowning, his face full of sorrow!

Obviously, he has not been in contact with the group of people in China who are suffering from the hepatitis B virus, and it is clear that 20 million newborns are not children in a beautiful country!

Ke Luo Yin. Dr. Vagelos didn't know why he was upset, he had mixed feelings.

About five minutes later, Luo Yin. "I used to be a doctor, I took an oath the moment I became a doctor, and I still remember that oath and take it to heart. ”

He paused for a moment and said with a holy face: "I solemnly swear that I will dedicate everything to the service of mankind, that I will give my teachers the reverence and gratitude they deserve, that I will practice medicine and save people with my conscience and dignity, that the health of the sick shall be my primary concern, and that I will respect the secrets entrusted to me, even after the death of the patient; I will do my best to uphold the honour and noble traditions of the medical profession, I will treat my colleagues as my brothers and sisters, I will not allow any prejudice of age, sickness, disability, religion, race, sex, ethnicity, political opinion, nationality, sexual orientation, social status or other factors to interfere between my duties and my patients, I will do my best to preserve the lives of others, even under duress, I will not use my medical knowledge to violate human rights and justice, I solemnly, voluntarily and in my personality I swear this promise! ”

Director Lin, Vice President Yang and Ms. Li and others heard Luo Yin. Dr. Vagellos recalled the oath he had taken when he was a doctor, and they were all stunned, they didn't think of it. Dr. Vagelos has not been a doctor for decades, and he can still keep this belief in being a doctor firmly in his heart!

This is a healer with boundless love!

Everyone couldn't help but be in awe!

Sure enough, Luo Yin. Immediately after saying this oath, Dr. Vagelos said, "I'll give you two options. ”

Director Lin hurriedly said, "You say." ”

LUO Yin. Dr. Vagelos said decisively: "The first plan, this is what I can do, I will transfer the genetic engineering technology of the first generation of hepatitis B vaccine to your country, and then send enough professionals to Huaxia to build a complete production line for you, and arrange for your medical personnel to come to Merck for training, I only charge a small fee, will not exceed 10 million US dollars, this figure will have to wait until I have discussed with the board of directors." ”

"What?"

"Willing to transfer medical technology for less than 10 million?"

"Oh my God! Dr. Vagellos is so nice! ”

The people in the Huaxia negotiation team were almost crazy with excitement, they really didn't expect such a result!

Less than 10 million US dollars can obtain the genetic engineering technology of hepatitis B vaccine, this is undoubtedly a fantasy, you must know that when they first talked about it, Merck and Co., Ltd. bit the technology authorization for 100 million US dollars, which is still an authorization, excluding other aspects!

But now!

Now now!

Luo Yin, who loves without borders. Dr. Vagellos gave such a perfect answer!

Director Lin and the others couldn't even think of Bi Luo Yin for a while. Vagelos kinder people!

Director Lin still felt a little strange, "The genetic engineering technology of the first-generation hepatitis B vaccine? Doctor, what does this mean? ”

Ms. Li, Vice President Yang and others also felt strange.

"That's the second option I'm going to say."

LUO Yin. "Now the first generation of genetically engineered hepatitis B vaccine technology is about to be phased out, because we have better hepatitis B vaccine technology, and even the latest hepatitis B vaccine technology is at least 30 years older than any hepatitis B vaccine technology of the current era, and the first generation is ...... That is to say, the hepatitis B vaccine technology we are currently talking about has certain technical shortcomings, and we are gradually delisting the vaccine, and are preparing to replace the existing vaccines on the market with the vaccines produced by the latest hepatitis B vaccine technology. ”

Yes?

And the latest technology?

Director Lin, Ms. Li, Vice President Yang and others glanced at each other, and they all wondered from their respective eyes, since you have the latest technology, why don't you talk to us? Is it because the price is too low?

Director Lin felt that this was the case, and he first asked, "What are the technical shortcomings of the first-generation hepatitis B vaccine technology?" ”

LUO Yin. "This hepatitis B vaccine technology will reduce the fertility of users to a certain extent, but this is not a thing to do, because this is the only way to do it with the current level of medicine," Vagelos said very frankly. ”

"What about the new hepatitis B vaccine technology?" Director Lin asked again.

Speaking of this time, Luo Yin. Vagelos had an incredulous look on his face and a hint of admiration in his tone: "The latest hepatitis B vaccine technology does not have such side effects, and its side effects are almost so weak that they can be ignored, for example, in clinical trials, the most common adverse events in all age groups are pain and tenderness at the injection site, myalgia and fatigue, but all these adverse reactions usually resolve within one to two days without intervention." ”

One to two days without intervention for relief?

Doesn't this mean that there are no adverse reactions?

Director Lin couldn't help but inhale, and he hurriedly asked, "What about the serum protection rate?" How much? ”

LUO Yin. "The first-generation hepatitis B vaccine has a seroprotection rate of 76.5 percent for those over 18 years old and 73.1 percent for those over 45 years old, while the seroprotection rate for the latest hepatitis B vaccine is 91.4 percent for those over 18 years old and 89.4 percent for those over 45 years old!" ”

Ultra-high serum protection rate!

Side effects are almost equal to none!

Director Lin and Vice President Yang and others were all dumbfounded, they never thought that such a miraculous hepatitis B vaccine was born on the market!

Director Lin couldn't wait to say: "Doctor, don't blame me for speaking badly, since your company has such a miraculous hepatitis B vaccine, why are you unwilling to come up with it and negotiate with us?" Do you think we have less money? ”

"It's not." LUO Yin. Vagelos shook his head, "The second plan I'm going to talk about is about this. ”

Ms. Li said, "Please speak." ”

Vice President Yang and the rest of the negotiation team all looked at it seriously.

LUO Yin. "Because the patent rights of this latest hepatitis B vaccine technology are not in our hands at all, we have only been licensed, if you really need it, you have to go to someone else to negotiate licensing, and all I can provide here is some training and help to set up a production line." ”

"Uh......" Director Lin was dizzy, "The latest hepatitis B vaccine technology is not Merck's?" ”

Vice President Yang also said in disbelief: "Merck is now the world's largest pharmaceutical company, if this latest hepatitis B vaccine technology is not your company, then whose is it?" Pfizer? Eli Lilly? Or Amgen? ”

"Neither." LUO Yin. Vagelos shook his head, and then said the name of a pharmaceutical company that made Director Lin, Vice President Yang, Ms. Li, and everyone in the negotiation team stunned, "Have you heard of Futai Pharmaceutical?" ”

Director Lin: "......"

Vice President Yang: "......"

Ms. Li and the rest of the team: "......"

When they heard the words Futai Pharmaceutical, they were all stupid!

Isn't this the company that Ji Cheng told them in the car at the beginning?

At that time, Ji Chengke expressed it obviously, just saying that he would give some money casually, which probably meant that it was okay for you to give a dollar or a million, but it would definitely not cost them too much.

But what?

They don't believe Ji Cheng, they have to come to Merck!

As a result, in the end, I still have to go back to ask Ji Cheng for hepatitis B vaccine technology?

As soon as he thought of this, Director Lin's face was a little hot.

Vice President Yang and Ms. Li couldn't help but blush in embarrassment.

The rest of the negotiation team was no better, and they were all embarrassed.

Director Lin asked with a fluke mentality: "Futai Pharmaceutical? Which Futai Pharmaceutical? ”

He also hopes that this Futai Pharmaceutical is not the one Ji Cheng said!

But Luo Yin. Vagelos's next words made Director Lin and the others all want to cry and can't cry, "Oh, it's Boston Futai Pharmaceutical, their founder Joshua. Borg went out from our Merck Sharp & Dohme, and their current largest shareholder is called Huajin Capital, I heard that it accounts for about 90% of the shares, and you may also know the boss of this Huajin Capital, Ji Cheng. ”

Director Lin is about to vomit blood!

Vice President Yang's eyes also darkened!

Ms. Li and the rest of the negotiation team almost counted one by one, and they all blushed, inexplicably feeling unprecedented embarrassment, which made them go back to Ji Cheng, it was really better to find a crack in the ground to get in!

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

Fortunately, Ji Cheng didn't know about this!

Otherwise, they won't be embarrassed, maybe they will anger the other party and won't even be able to get the technology, and when they return to China, their careers will be over!

Director Lin, Vice President Yang and Ms. Li and others secretly rejoiced.

But the next moment Luo Yin. What Dr. Vagelos said made them completely desperate!

"Mr. Ji told me about it a month or two ago." LUO Yin. Vagelos smiled: "At that time, he also asked me, saying that when the time comes, he will provide you with some technical and human help, and he will pay for it out of his own pocket, well, no, you came to Merck Sharp & Dohme as a guest today, and I called him to tell him about it as soon as possible." ”

Director Lin is really going to cry!

Ms. Li was even more dizzy and almost fell to the ground!

Vice President Yang and the rest of the negotiation team suddenly looked like ashes!

Finished!

Ji Cheng knows this!

They are completely immoral in doing this, and they are acting as yin and yang people!

If Ji Cheng didn't know, it would be good to say, but now he knows the question, what if he gets angry and doesn't let Futai Pharmaceutical license the hepatitis B vaccine technology?

It was at your fingertips!

Now because they believe Liu Shao's bastard boy's words, the cooked duck is about to fly away!

At this moment, everyone in the negotiation team became extremely desperate, they knew that this time was over, as long as Ji Cheng did not let go, even if they got the first-generation hepatitis B vaccine technology from Merck & Co., Ltd., they would be removed from above!

And Luo Yin. Dr. Vagelos made it very clear that the first-generation hepatitis B vaccine technology is flawed, which will reduce the fertility of users, and if there is no alternative vaccine on the market, it is understandable for them to introduce this technology back to China, after all, if it is not introduced, 120 million people in China and 20 million newborns every year will suffer from hepatitis B virus, and even many people will die, in the face of life, it is acceptable to reduce some fertility.

But the problem is that there is the latest hepatitis B vaccine technology on the market, and they could have easily introduced it back to China, but now because they are yin and yang, they can't introduce cash vaccine technology, and the fertility of 20 million newborns every year will be reduced, and they are sinners!

Sinners of China!

Sinners of history!

This shame will be firmly imprinted in the history books!

Director Lin, Ms. Li, Vice President Yang and others all had no idea and didn't know how to face Ji Cheng, this fact was too embarrassing!
