After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 18 No one is a good man or a good woman!

He Youcai was suddenly startled and felt a strong chill.

"The results of their Phase II clinical trial are indeed good. We can't do anything about it at this point!"

"But! We can think of ways to make some changes to the Phase III clinical trial protocol, such as the minimum number of participants in the Phase III clinical trial!"

"Minimum number of test persons?"

"Ok!"

Ding Jian's eyes were cold and expressionless.

"Yes, aren't they most in need of funds?"

"Then let's raise the minimum number of participants for Phase III clinical trials to 2000!"

"2000 people, at least five years, and at least tens of millions of dollars in experimental funds. Where will they get so much money?"

"I want to force them into a corner, so that their only option is to sell the patent. As long as they sell it, I will be able to buy it!"

hiss!
He Youcai couldn't help but shudder.

He already understood what Ding Jian meant.

Under normal circumstances, with such good Phase II clinical data of "Qingshan Avatrombopag", about 500-700 people should be enough for the Phase III!

Now the number of people has suddenly increased to 2000. Not only will the clinical trial time increase by more than 3 times, but the cost will also skyrocket by 2 times!
This would directly cut off any possibility for Zhang Yang to advance the third phase on his own!
He glanced at Ding Jian secretly.

I have to say, it’s so cruel!

"What are you looking at? Why don't you go?"

"Okay, okay, boss, I'll go right away!"

……

Beifeng Pharmaceutical began to take action, and the entire pharmaceutical industry was undercurrent.

Zhang Yang has been feeling a lot more relaxed these days. Ever since the recruitment for the Phase II clinical trial ended, the large expenditures have been eliminated, and the financial pressure that was on the verge of collapse has finally been relieved.

According to his plan, the next step is to start talks with major pharmaceutical companies.

Just as he imagined, on the third day after the release of the Phase II clinical data of Qingshan Avatrombopag, the first domestic pharmaceutical company came to him.

It’s not Hengrui, but another second-tier domestic pharmaceutical company.

Zhang Yang personally received the other party, who also expressed great interest in "Qingshan Avaqubopa", and everything was developing in a good direction.

However, when it came to the price, the price offered by this domestic second-tier pharmaceutical company was very cheap, and there was a big disagreement between the two sides.

On the fourth and fifth days, two more domestic pharmaceutical companies came to contact us. The talks were still very pleasant, but when it came to discussing the price or mode of cooperation, the other party's quotation did not meet our psychological expectations at all.

It was not until today when Hengrui Medicine came in person that Zhang Yang realized something was wrong.

"Zhang Yang, how much did Hengrui and the others give you when they left?"

In the office, Ren Xiaomin asked anxiously.

"7000 million, and it's a complete buyout, with no subsequent commercial terms."

"This is too low, it's impossible! What's the reason? Hengrui and others can't be unaware of the huge commercial value behind 'Ava'. They can't offer such a low price!"

"That's right!"

Zhang Yang nodded. At this moment he realized that something must have gone wrong!

If other second-tier and third-tier pharmaceutical companies may misjudge the commercial prospects or therapeutic effects of Qingshan Avatrombopag,
As the top pharmaceutical company in China, Hengrui would never make such a low-level mistake!
So, what is the reason?

"Brother Ren... you have a wide network of contacts in the pharmaceutical industry. Why don't you ask your friends indirectly? See if there is any special news in the circle recently?"

Ren Xiaomin was slightly stunned, then nodded heavily. "Then I'll go out and make a few phone calls!"

A few minutes later, Ren Xiaomin came back, but his face had become gloomier than when he left just now.

He said in a low voice:

"Zhang Yang, I got the news. A middle-level manager who works at Hengrui told me that recently many people in the industry have been saying that we are short of funds and there is no way we can continue to advance the Phase III clinical trial!

Now we are just waiting for someone to buy the patent, so we can make a killing and then cash out and leave! "

Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, someone was playing tricks!
No wonder these pharmaceutical companies are obviously very interested, but their final quotes are simply outrageous. Damn, they are trying to take advantage of themselves!

Ren Xiaomin's eyes were also filled with anger. Qingshan Pharmaceutical had only been established for a few months and had no conflicts of interest with other pharmaceutical companies, let alone offending anyone!

But damn...

"Who is behind this?"

"Who else could it be!"

Zhang Yang reacted suddenly.

"I'm 100% sure it's Ding Jian! He's the only one who knows our background best, and he's the only one who has a grudge against us!"

"In this way, we have completely changed from being active to being passive!"

Ding Jian?

General Manager of Beifeng Pharmaceutical!
Ren Xiaomin was suddenly stunned. After a moment, he realized that the most likely person was the former boss Ding Jian!
But, isn't it too cruel?!

The atmosphere was a little solemn for a moment. After about a few dozen seconds, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"Then what should we do next?"

"How to do?"

Zhang Yang shook his head, equally confused.

It can be said that Ding Jian's sudden move completely disrupted his plan. He was very clear that the people in domestic pharmaceutical companies were by no means good guys and women. Knowing that he was short of funds, they would definitely not give him a high price!

But when I first got "Qingshan Avaqubopa", I estimated that the price would be at least 100 million!
Now that we have worked so hard and have passed the Phase II clinical trial, Hengrui will give us 7000 million? !

I worked so hard and ended up losing money?

Isn't this bullying?
Thinking of this, he suddenly let out a deep breath!

"Don't force me. I don't believe that if domestic pharmaceutical companies don't want it, foreign pharmaceutical companies will also not want it."

"If you push me too far, I will sell it to a foreign pharmaceutical company!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Xiaomin couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became much more relaxed.

He could tell that Zhang Yang was speaking in anger.

"Okay, you can sell it to anyone, but don't sell it to foreign pharmaceutical companies. If netizens find out, they will scold you!"

"If the self-media outlets continue to lead the trend, you will be labeled a traitor who disregards your compatriots at home and sells the patents of good drugs to foreign countries in a minute!"

Zhang Yang's emotions also calmed down, and he couldn't help but curse:
"Oh, I have to say, this Ding Jian is really ruthless. This time I've really got myself into a dilemma!"

"I don't think it's worth it to sell it. I can't bear to do it! But if we don't sell it, where will we get the money to advance the third phase? We can just waste time, right?"

But just as he finished speaking, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind and he thought of another possibility!
He said anxiously:

"Brother Ren, can you calculate now, if our Phase III clinical trial only needs 600 test subjects, and if we don't provide any subsidies to the patients, how much will we spend at most?!"
