After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 242 Professionalism, this is professionalism!

If there is any place in this world where people are liked by everyone in the world, it must be Mr. Gou!
Don’t ask why. The reason is that you are rich and willful. The reason is that you are stupid and have a lot of money.

Looking at the Middle Eastern tycoon who suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhang Yang was also stunned. He did not expect that the foreign guest mentioned by the authorities turned out to be a wealthy man from the Middle East desert.

Fortunately, at this moment, an official accompanying him came over quickly, with an apologetic look on his face, and whispered:
"Mr. Zhang, I'm very sorry. This was an emergency. For safety reasons, I was unable to communicate with you about the foreign guest's situation in a timely manner."

"Everything is going well now. The foreign guests who came this time are the two princes from the Saudi royal family you saw."

"The taller one is the Sixth Prince, one of the core members of the current Saudi royal family. The younger one is the Thirteenth Prince, one of the most beloved sons of old King Salman."

"As far as I know, they came here specifically for the Thirteenth Prince Amir... But I don't know the details. They will discuss it with you in person when we meet later."

In just a few words, Zhang Yang figured out the identities of the two Saudi princes in front of him. He glanced at the Sixth Prince without showing any expression, and finally stopped at the Thirteenth Prince.

After a moment, he walked forward with a smile and warmly invited the two princes to go upstairs.

"Your Highnesses, warm welcome. Please come in..."

Led by Zhang Yang, the two princes and their entourage walked up the stairs in a mighty procession. This scene was naturally seen by the employees of the Qingshan Pharmaceutical office building.

Although I was greeted early in the morning when I got to work, I was told that an important guest would be visiting today and everyone should be careful.

But even the most imaginative employee did not expect that the VIP guest would be a wealthy man from the Middle East!

"Oh my god, the Saudi tycoon actually came to our Qingshan Pharmaceutical. What is he doing?"

"Haha, to be honest, this is the first time I've seen a Saudi. They say I'm the richest person in the world because I have a piece of cloth on my head. This is really awesome!"

"That's just the beginning. But why are you sure it's Saudi Arabian tycoons and not the UAE or Qatar?"

"Does it matter? Anyway, no matter who it is, he can't be poor if he's dressed like this! But I'm more curious about what these Middle Eastern tycoons are doing in our Qingshan Pharmaceutical?!"

"I'm curious too. Are you planning to introduce our medicine?"

"I don't think so. Selling medicine is not as profitable as selling oil!"

"Haha, yes!"

Of course Zhang Yang couldn't hear the employees' discussion, and the group soon came to Zhang Yang's office.

After a brief exchange of courtesies, the Sixth Prince Salaman dismissed his entourage and the door of his office was closed.

In the office, only Zhang Yang, Ren Xiaomin, the two princes and an official, Director Zhang, were left.

Seeing this, Director Zhang, who was accompanying him, stood up first and said with a smile:
"Mr. Zhang, you are a guest from afar. Let me first introduce you to the two guests who have come from afar today."

"Both distinguished guests are from Saudi Arabia. This one is the Sixth Prince Salman, and this one is the Thirteenth Prince Amir!"

"The two princes came to China in person this time, but they came especially for you."

Zhang Yang smiled slightly. Secretary Zhang had already informed them of their identities when they were downstairs just now.

At this time, Secretary Zhang turned his gaze to the Sixth Prince Salaman and introduced:
"Prince Salaman, this is Mr. Zhang Yang, the boss of Qingshan Pharmaceutical."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang Yang, sorry to bother you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, somewhat unexpectedly, Prince Salaman took the initiative to extend his right hand to show goodwill.

Zhang Yang was slightly stunned, then he reacted and enthusiastically extended his right hand to shake hands with Prince Salaman.

Despite this small action, the atmosphere between the two of them instantly became more familiar.

Next, Zhang Yang shook hands with Prince Amir, and after some polite exchanges, the atmosphere in the office became more harmonious.

Seeing this, Prince Salaman no longer hesitated, coughed lightly, and got straight to the point:

"Mr. Zhang Yang, we are sorry that we came here without an appointment this time."

"Let me get this straight... We have something very important to trouble you with."

He paused and looked at Amir beside him:
"Just as Secretary Zhang introduced just now, Amir is my thirteenth brother and the thirteenth prince of our Muhammad family!"

"It's just that Amir was diagnosed with an incurable disease since he was born - hemophilia!"

"So, this time we came here, we hope you can help us develop a drug that can completely cure hemophilia!"

Developing drugs for hemophilia?
Zhang Yang was slightly startled, and his eyes subconsciously fell on Prince Amir beside him.

Of course, he also knew a lot about hemophilia.

First of all,

Compared with aplastic anemia and leukemia, most of which are caused by immune system defects or long-term exposure to radiation, hemophilia is entirely a problem of one's own genetic genes.

What are genetic problems?

To put it bluntly, this disease will not occur suddenly, it will only be inherited.

Only if the parents carry the hemophilia gene can the next generation have the possibility of suffering from hemophilia!

If the parents do not carry the hemophilia gene, or even if either the father or the mother does not carry the gene, the next generation will never suffer from hemophilia.

Therefore,
Ultimately, hemophilia is a hereditary disease that falls within the category of congenital genetic diseases.

Talking about congenital diseases is already very tricky in itself, and adding congenital genetic diseases to the mix makes it even trickier!

According to Zhang Yang, the best way to treat hemophilia at present is to regularly inject the "coagulation factor" that is congenitally lacking in the hemophiliac's body.

There is no better way than this.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang looked at Prince Amir beside him and said in a low voice:
"Prince Amir, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you had hemophilia."

"but……"

As he spoke, he moved his gaze to Prince Salaman who was in conversation, and continued:
"But to be honest with you two, we at Qingshan Pharmaceuticals don't actually have any in-depth research on hemophilia, and we don't have any plans to develop hemophilia-related drugs for the time being."

"Also, the two princes should also know that hemophilia is actually a congenital genetic disease. The cause is very complicated and it is not easy to cure!"

"So what you just said, hoping that we can help develop a drug that can completely cure hemophilia... I'm afraid we are unable to do so."

"I know."

As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Salaman nodded.

"In fact, many years ago, we contacted many top pharmaceutical companies, and their responses were basically the same as what you just said."

"But... my Thirteenth Brother trusts you very much!"

"According to him, didn't you develop a drug that can completely cure aplastic anemia? Now you have developed a drug that can treat leukemia!"

“Why can’t we develop a drug to cure hemophilia?”

Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly and explained:
"My two princes, you are not pharmaceutical professionals and you don't quite understand the difference between research and development...

Although both are blood diseases, one is just a traditional disease and the other involves gene therapy, so they are not exactly the same.”

Zhang Yang paused, then suddenly changed the subject and advised: "My two princes, I actually don't think it is necessary for you to develop a drug that can completely cure hemophilia."

"As far as I know, although hemophilia cannot be cured, it can be controlled through regular injections of 'clotting factors'."

"Although 'coagulation factor products' are expensive, this is for ordinary people. For the two princes, long-term injections are not a burden..."

“Normally, if the disease is well controlled, most people with hemophilia can lead a normal life.”

Zhang Yang's words of persuasion made Salaman suddenly stunned.

To be honest, he didn't know much about hemophilia, and couldn't empathize with his thirteenth brother Amir's pain. He looked at Amir hesitantly.

Amir raised his head and looked directly at Zhang Yang.

Just now when he was downstairs, he saw for the first time Zhang Yang, the boss of Qingshan Pharmaceutical, whom he had always been thinking about and even regarded as his only hope.

But he didn't expect that the only person he had hope for would advise him that there was no need to develop a complete cure for the disease.

Unspeakable pain welled up in his heart, and he whispered:
"Mr. Zhang Yang, you don't know, I have the severe type of hemophilia A, and the coagulation factor in my body is only 0.09%!"

"So, even with the best treatment in the world, I still need to inject clotting factor every 24 hours."

"Besides... since I have severe hemophilia, even with the injection of 'clotting factor', I can't live a completely normal life."

“I have to live carefully.”

Zhang Yang was stunned, and for the first time a hint of heaviness flashed across his eyes.

As we all know, hemophilia is actually a lack of clotting factors in the human body.

This coagulation factor not only helps wounds heal quickly, it also has an important function of preventing bleeding.

The amount of active coagulation factors in the human body also determines the severity of hemophilia.

A plasma coagulation factor activity of 5% to 40% is considered mild hemophilia. This condition will only cause mild bleeding after intense exercise or violent impact. As long as the patient pays a little attention, there is actually not much difference between him and a normal person.

1%~5% is considered moderate hemophilia.

Moderate hemophilia often causes bleeding 1 to 2 times a month. At this level, people cannot engage in strenuous exercise. Any slightly greater load may cause bleeding in the muscles, bones, and even internal organs.

A clotting factor level below 1% is considered severe hemophilia.

Severe hemophilia is so troublesome that the patient may bleed even when sitting or lying down, not to mention doing other activities.

It can be said that severe hemophilia is almost like waiting to die.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang exhaled lightly and said apologetically:

"Prince Amir, I'm sorry... I understand your pain. If it's severe hemophilia, it's really troublesome!"

"but……"

"What I said just now was not an excuse. We really have no research on hemophilia, and we are not sure that we can develop a drug that can completely cure it!"

After he finished speaking, Prince Amir's eyes dimmed.

He was full of confidence before he came, because Qingshan Pharmaceutical gave him endless confidence!

But I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang Yang, the president of Qingshan Pharmaceutical, has been refusing from the beginning to now, and there has been almost no positive feedback.

Is it really impossible to completely cure hemophilia in this lifetime?

Amir's disappointed look was seen by Prince Salaman standing beside him. His heart tightened and he looked at Zhang Yang!
It is obvious that Tsingshan Pharmaceutical, or Zhang Yang, has little interest and confidence in developing drugs for hemophilia.

Suddenly, the office fell silent and the entire communication came to a standstill.

At this moment, Prince Salaman suddenly took a deep breath and prepared to solve the problem in his own way!

After a moment, his eyes fell completely on Zhang Yang, and he said seriously:

"Mr. Zhang Yang, I understand that the drug development for this disease is very difficult, and after investing a lot of money, it is possible that all the money will go to waste!"

"Well, let's get something straight!"

"Directly?"

"Ok!"

"I am willing to give you 10 billion US dollars to fund your research and development of drugs to cure hemophilia. What do you think?!"

10 billion!
US dollars!

Zhang Yang's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement.

I have to say that the dog owner is indeed generous and lavish.

But soon, he showed a bitter smile on his face and shook his head:
"Prince Salaman, you may have misunderstood what I meant. I am not afraid of no results after the investment, but at present, Qingshan Pharmaceutical has not conducted in-depth research on 'hemophilia', and we do not have relevant professional talents in the research and development of hemophilia drugs!"

"so……"

"20 billion dollars!"

Zhang Yang was silent for a moment, then he took a breath and shook his head:

"Prince Salaman, this is not about money!"

"$30 million!"

"Besides, I don't ask you to develop it when exactly. I just hope you can set up the project and start developing drugs for hemophilia!"

Zhang Yang fell silent again.

Prince Salaman's words were equivalent to saying that as long as Tsingshan Pharmaceutical agreed to start the project, it could immediately receive US$30 billion in funding.

After thinking for a minute, he still shook his head:

"Prince Salaman..."

"$50 million!"

"And, no matter what drug results you eventually develop, I will not claim the results."

"All I want is for my Thirteenth Brother to be completely cured of hemophilia!"

“Also, Sha really doesn’t understand pharmaceutical research and development, but I know very well that professionals should do professional things!

All I can do is pay professionals to do professional things!"

Zhang Yang was slightly stunned and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Prince Salaman!
"major!"

After a moment, he took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face:
"Since the prince is so professional, how can I refuse again?"

"I know a thing or two about gene therapy."
