After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 119 Qingshan Pharmaceutical Medical Assistance Fund for Poor Patients (Subscription Request)
"Zhang Yang, good news! The weekly sales statistics of our 'Hepatocyte Activator' are out!"

"The number of hospital prescriptions and actual sales have exceeded our expectations!"

In the office, Ren Xiaomin handed the newly obtained statistical results to Zhang Yang with a smile on his face.

Zhang Yang was also somewhat looking forward to it. Generally speaking, it was difficult for pharmaceutical companies to calculate the weekly sales volume of a drug in all hospitals across the country, as this required accurate inventory data from pharmacies.

Of course, thanks to Qingshan Pharmaceutical’s good reputation in the industry, all major hospitals have actively cooperated.

He took it and looked at it quickly, and after a while he let out a breath.

"In one week, 145 prescriptions were issued in 18.9 cooperating tertiary hospitals across the country, with a total sales volume of 85 bottles."

"That means 18.9 prescriptions, 18.9 patients with liver cirrhosis purchased our 'hepatocyte activator', which is a lot!"

"Yes."

Ren Xiaomin also nodded:
“而且你看统计明细，98%的处方都是一次性买了3瓶，1.7%的处方是一次性买了6瓶和9瓶，只有0.3%的处方只购买了一瓶。”

"That is to say, our buy three get one free promotion has benefited almost all patients. Moreover, I have also seen many discussions among patients in the patient group these days. Everyone is very grateful to us and Qingshan Pharmaceutical."

"but……"

Ren Xiaomin looked at Zhang Yang and gave him a thumbs up sincerely:

"However, I have to say that all this is due to your generosity!"

"Zhang Yang, I was right about you!"

"Haha."

Zhang Yang laughed.

After the price of the "hepatocyte activator" was announced, he has been busy with the final promotion of its launch and has not paid much attention to the comments of netizens on the Internet.

It was not until the end of the Phase III clinical trial and the passing of Liu Wenjun that he had time to read some online reviews on the pricing of "hepatocyte activators".

Finally, 12 hours before the product was officially put on the shelves for sale, he decided to add a "new drug promotion". This method is very common in various industries and is reasonable.

"Oh, there's one more thing I need to report to you."

While Zhang Yang was thinking, Ren Xiaomin continued:

"In addition to the buy three get one free promotion, didn't we also set up a 'poor patient subsidy fund' this time?"

"After we released it on our official website, something unexpected happened."

"Accident?"

Zhang Yang's expression froze and he looked straight at Ren Xiaomin.

"Is it because there are a lot of poor patients who have signed up? Or is it something else?"

"neither."

Ren Xiaomin shook his head, and gradually a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"This is also due to lack of experience!"

"When we released the news, we disclosed all the relevant information about our 'poverty subsidy fund'. We thought no one would pay attention to it, but a large number of netizens donated money to us directly from the bank account of the fund we published..."

"The finance department has been very busy these past few days and is still dealing with this matter."

After the words fell, Zhang Yang, who was drinking water, was stunned and surprised.

He quickly responded:
"Brother Ren, are you saying that after netizens knew we had set up a 'poverty fund', they took the initiative to donate to the fund? Do you hope to use our fund platform to show some love to the patients?"

"Yes!"

"Moreover, many netizens also made notes when donating that they believed in us and said 'we are not fighting alone'."

Zhang Yang pursed his lips, and gradually, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he felt everyone's warmth.

What a lovely group of netizens!
After a long time, he let out a breath and looked at Ren Xiaomin.

"Brother Ren, we appreciate the kindness of netizens. It's not easy for everyone. Just close the donation channel for the fund. We can do it."

“And as you know, the country is extremely distrustful and sensitive about donations and foundations. If not handled properly, it can easily cause trouble.

It would be better for us to do it with our own money, so as to avoid being criticized."

After he finished speaking, Ren Xiaomin's face changed slightly. He understood Zhang Yang's concerns.

In recent years, foundations and donations have been given a very bad reputation by a certain organization, almost to the point where everyone is calling for their downfall...

After thinking for a moment, he decided to express some of his thoughts.

"Zhang Yang, I have a different opinion. I hope you can consider it."

"Indeed, as you said, if we accept donations from the society, it may cause some trouble, but!"

"I think since netizens believe in us, we can try to do this."

"Compared to other foundations and other charitable organizations, we can at least ensure that the donations from netizens can be used for poor patients who really need it.
Instead of being embezzled and used for other unrelated things, right? "

Zhang Yang frowned slightly.

He didn't care about Ren Xiaomin's different suggestions, but...

At this moment, Ren Xiaomin placed the dozen-page detailed list in his hand on Zhang Yang's desk.

"Zhang Yang, this is a detailed list of donations from netizens in the past week. A total of more than 3000 netizens donated a total of 26 yuan."

“It’s not a lot of money, but it can save a patient.”

"Instead of letting those parasites use this money to buy luxury goods, we should use it to save patients who are really in need."

Zhang Yang's eyes fell on the detailed list of more than ten pages. After a moment, he picked it up and read it carefully.

The person with the most donations on the donation list donated 2000 yuan, and the person with the least donated 1 cent. The vast majority donated 10 or 20 yuan, but the amount is not the most important.

The most important thing is that this is the sincere love of netizens.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became dull. He pondered for ten minutes, then suddenly looked at Ren Xiaomin and said:

"Brother Ren, please remember this."

Ren Xiaomin was stunned and quickly took out paper and pen from his bag.

"From now on, the fund's external donation channel will be temporarily closed, and the original 'poverty subsidy fund' will be officially renamed the 'Qingshan Pharmaceutical Poverty Patient Medical Subsidy Fund'."

"The fund is mainly, but not limited to, drug subsidies, and Qingshan Pharmaceutical will bear all the subsidy costs of the fund."

"At the same time, we will set up a 'donation channel for caring netizens' and establish a special fund pool. The funds donated by netizens will not participate in or pay for any expenses of the fund operation, but will be used entirely for drug subsidies for poor patients!"

Ren Xiaomin was recording quickly. Zhang Yang paused and continued:

"The fund pool will announce its use once a month. All netizens are welcome to supervise it!"

"All patients funded by the fund are mainly donated by netizens, and Qingshan Pharmaceutical only donates on their behalf."

As he spoke, Zhang Yang's tone finally slowed down.

Ren Xiaomin also wrote down the last word at this time. He repeated it solemnly, and after confirming that there was no problem, he nodded heavily.

"Zhang Yang, then I will do as you wish."

"it is good!"

The next morning, when some netizens wanted to transfer money to the Qingshan Pharmaceutical Fund account, they found that the previous donation channel had been closed.

Instead, there is a special fund account called "Caring Netizens Donation Channel"...

Soon, netizens noticed that this newly established "Caring Netizens Donation Channel" was completely different from the previous ones.

To be precise, it is different from the way any foundation currently operates in the country.

[The funds donated by netizens will not be used to pay for any operating expenses of this fund, and will be used entirely for poor patients. ]

This alone is enough to prove the purity of Qingshan Pharmaceutical's actions.

"What a pure person..."

Netizens were moved and impressed. The news reached the inpatient department of the liver disease department of Ruijin Hospital in Shanghai.

Fang Jianmin, who was lying in bed 32, slowly put down the mobile phone in his hand and looked at his son not far away.

He is a retired university professor. Because he likes drinking, he was diagnosed with cirrhosis five years ago and has been hospitalized frequently over the years.

The son in front of him is Fang Hanliang, a biopharmaceutical researcher.

To be precise, he is a biopharmaceutical researcher who has been working in R&D at Boehringer Ingelheim in Germany for more than ten years.

This time when he came back to visit his relatives, he happened to encounter the launch of Qingshan Pharmaceutical's "Hepatocyte Activator".

"Hanliang, you've been in Germany for fifteen years, right?"

"Well, next year will be exactly fifteen years."

Fang Jianmin looked at his son and sighed slightly:
"You were very smart when you were young. You were admitted to Tsinghua University when you were 20. Later, you went abroad to study smoothly and received a Ph.D. in biology from Cambridge University at the age of ."

"I've always been proud of you."

"But... you are 40 now, and you have been wandering abroad for 15 years."

"I've been asking you before when you're going to return to China. You always said that the domestic pharmaceutical industry is underdeveloped, and pharmaceutical companies are not enterprising and are very rigid. If you come back, you won't be able to use your abilities..."

"But now I think you can think about it carefully. Qingshan Pharmaceutical is no worse than foreign pharmaceutical companies."

"Moreover, if you look at what Qingshan Pharmaceutical has done recently, you can see that their boss is not a capitalist, but a truly idealistic, ambitious, and pure person."

"Such a boss can fully help you to bring out your own abilities and show the value of your life!"

"Come back, Hanliang, and join Qingshan Pharmaceutical."

Fang Hanliang pushed his glasses on his nose and said nothing.

After a long time, he slowly shook his head:
"Dad, the biopharmaceutical industry isn't that simple."

"Qingshan Pharmaceutical has research on blood diseases and liver diseases, but... I have always focused on kidney disease research and development at Boehringer Ingelheim. Qingshan Pharmaceutical may not have a kidney disease research and development team, and they may not be interested in the kidney disease field."

After the words were spoken, Fang Jianmin did not agree.

"What if, what if Qingshan Pharmaceutical wants to develop kidney disease drugs?"

Fang Hanliang suddenly smiled:

"If it does, I'll be back."

……

Of course, Zhang Yang didn't know that because of a series of recent events, many top researchers in the industry have taken a new look at Qingshan Pharmaceutical.

In particular, some industry leaders who were previously disappointed with domestic pharmaceutical companies or stayed abroad due to salary and other reasons are now ready to move.

After all, if there is a domestic pharmaceutical company that can meet one's salary expectations and has a good R&D environment, who would be willing to go there?

At this time, Zhang Yang did not stop because of the successful launch of the "Hepatocyte Activator". On the contrary, he was ready to start dealing with something he had previously given to Wei Tian.

50% of the "hepatocyte activator" was launched and marketed.

It’s not that he wants to use 50% of the “hepatocyte activator” to make money, but Novartis’ “LivClearX” has proven that 50% of the ingredients are also effective in treating fatty liver.

There are more than 1 million patients with fatty liver in China, and they also need to be treated at the fatty liver stage to avoid further deterioration of the liver.

The price of "hepatocyte activator" after reimbursement is as high as 3900 yuan per box. This price is obviously too expensive to treat fatty liver, and few people can afford it.

Thinking of this,

He called Wei Tian to his office, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Tian took the lead to bring some good news.

"You mean, you added a new ingredient to the 50% 'liver cell activator' that can make it burn liver fat?"

Wei Tian shook his head repeatedly when he heard this:
“It’s not that exaggerated. Simply put, fatty liver is mainly caused by excessive fat intake, which leads to fat accumulation in the liver;

This new ingredient mainly releases a biological enzyme that increases the liver's metabolic rate, allowing the liver to break down fat faster, thereby reducing fat accumulation."

"Of course, the current effect in the laboratory has only been improved by 5%."

"It can only be said to be better than nothing."

Zhang Yang completely understood it, which was the icing on the cake.

After confirming that 50% of the "liver cell activator" had no problems in research and development, he immediately called Ren Xiaomin,

"Brother Ren, my idea is that we should not apply for this 'liver cell activator' which is only 50% effective to be a drug this time. We should just apply for a health product."

"First, there is the previous case of Novartis' LivClearX, and the efficacy of the drug has been confirmed."

"Secondly, the approval process for health products is relatively simple, and they can be purchased even in pharmacies and online, which is good for us and for customers in need."

Ren Xiaomin nodded and agreed with this statement.

"Well, after all, the essence of the 'liver cell activator' is the regeneration and activation enzyme. It actually has a liver-protecting effect not only for fatty liver, but also for all liver problems such as alcohol."

“It is appropriate to use health supplements.”

After deciding to apply for 50% of the "hepatocyte activator" as a health product, Zhang Yang also finalized the name of Qingshan Pharmaceutical's first health product.

This time I chose a Chinese name.

"Liver protection and regeneration capsule".

Everything was ready. In the following days, Zhang Yang began to understand the approval process for health products.

Compared with medicines and health products, the safety review is much simpler.

Health products do not need to undergo clinical trials, they only need to pass safety evaluation tests, such as toxicology tests and animal experiments.

The approval process also does not require any pharmacokinetics, crystal stability data, or factory flight inspections. It only requires the submission of the formula, production process, and corresponding health functions.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in one word: simple and fast.

Generally, if a health product has complete information, it can be approved and put on the market in March to June.

Zhang Yang handed the follow-up of this matter over to Ren Xiaomin, and gradually, he focused his attention on another matter.

Previously, he handed over the "Kidney Toxin Clearing Dialysis Replacement Needle" he got from the system to Wei Tian and the research and development team, and now it's time for him to push this matter forward.

but,

Suddenly, he remembered that when he went to Chengdu Third People's Hospital to inquire about the disease of "extremely wanting to drink cold drinks", he happened to go to the dialysis room under the guidance of Lin Xiang, director of the Nephrology Department.

At that time, I met a man named Jiang Yong in the dialysis room.

Feeling sorry for him, I asked Jiang Yong to come to the company to work as a security guard. In the past few months, I occasionally saw him when going in and out.

I haven't seen him in the past half month.

Thinking of this, since he had nothing to do now, Zhang Yang simply walked quickly downstairs and came to the front door.

Another middle-aged man was standing guard at this time. When he saw that it was his boss Zhang Yang, he quickly stood up from the bench.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Yang nodded and said:

"I haven't seen Jiang Yong for a long time recently. Is he at work today?"

The middle-aged man shook his head immediately:
"Mr. Zhang, Jiang Yong has resigned half a month ago. It seems that something happened at home."

Zhang Yang was slightly stunned.

He knew very well that Jiang Yong was a dialysis patient who had to undergo dialysis three times a week, each session lasting four hours, so it was very difficult for him to find a job.

Although the security guard at Qingshan Pharmaceutical does not earn five or six thousand, he still earns 3500 a month, and is covered by five insurances and one fund. In addition, he is specifically told that he can take leave at any time if he does not have to work the night shift.

It would be impossible for him to find such a job even with a lantern.

Something happened at home?
What happened that made him not even want this job?
