After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 7 Qingshan Pharmaceutical
"Start a company? A pharmaceutical company?!"

Ren Xiaomin was completely confused.

"Yeah, that's right."

Zhang Yang nodded.

In fact, ever since he obtained the crystal patent and synthesis route of Avatrombopag yesterday, he has been thinking about how to make good use of this patent.

After much thought, he came up with two plans. One was to sell the crystal patent to other pharmaceutical companies. He estimated that he could get at least 100 million yuan, which was enough for him to live a luxurious life.

Another option is to use this patent to set up your own pharmaceutical company.

It's difficult to choose between the two options.

One hundred million may seem like a lot, but compared to the profits after Avatrombopag was launched on the market, it is definitely a huge loss.

It is even more difficult to start a pharmaceutical company.

It not only requires a large amount of capital investment, but also requires the introduction of a large number of professional talents.

This is not his strong point.

But looking at Ren Xiaomin in front of him, he suddenly changed his mind.

Don’t you, Beifeng Pharmaceutical, like to fire employees?
That’s exactly what I want!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang stopped beating around the bush and said:

"Brother Ren, you should be familiar with the foreign 'Avatrombopag tablets', right?"

"To be honest, I accidentally discovered a new compound some time ago. Its platelet-raising effect is almost as good as that of Avatrombopag!"

"Now I have completed relevant experiments on pharmacokinetics and toxicology, and the results are also very good."

"So... next I want to advance clinical trials and eventually market them."

Ren Xiaomin also calmed down at this time.

Of course he knows “Avatrombopag Tablets”!
The world's top platelet treatment drug, it has excellent therapeutic effects on a variety of blood diseases.

but,

He was not shocked by Zhang Yang's claim of discovering a new compound similar to Avatrombopag. On the contrary, this kind of thing is actually very common in the biopharmaceutical industry.

For example, metformin is used to treat diabetes.

In the past two decades, in order to develop better diabetes drugs, countless pharmaceutical companies around the world have synthesized many new compounds in their laboratories. Some of these compounds have achieved or even exceeded the effects of metformin on diabetes, but what happened in the end?

The vast majority have no news.

There is no other reason.

As a "veteran" who has been in the industry for more than ten years, he knows very well that animal experiments and living creature experiments are just the beginning.

Many newly discovered compounds perform very well in animal experiments, but once they enter the Phase II or Phase III clinical trials, they either have many difficult-to-control side effects or the therapeutic effects are far from expected, and ultimately fail to pass clinical trials at all.

Therefore, animal experiments alone do not have much significance. It is simply a fantasy to want to start a company and go public based on this alone.

but,

He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yang, who looked serious.

However, in his impression, Zhang Yang is not the kind of person who talks nonsense and brags when he gets excited.

While Ren Xiaomin was thinking, Zhang Yang's mind was also working rapidly.

In fact, he had no confidence that he could convince Ren Xiaomin.

Not to mention how credible his words alone can be, with Ren Xiaomin's abilities he can actually find a good job easily, there is no need for him to wade into this muddy water.

But everything depends on human efforts, so we must give it a try!

Thinking of this, he continued:
"Brother Ren, I am serious. You can name a price for the salary."

"Besides, if you have other conditions, you can also raise them!"

"Anyway, as long as you ask for the conditions, I can accept them."

The sincere words touched Ren Xiaomin somewhat.

However, deep down in his heart, he was not optimistic about Zhang Yang's prospects.

After hesitating for a moment, he showed an awkward smile on his face and looked at Zhang Yang apologetically:

"Zhang Yang, I..."

Zhang Yang understood immediately and sighed inwardly. This is also human nature.

He hid his disappointment and said with a smile:

"It's okay, I understand."

After that, he took out his cell phone and made an excuse:

"Brother Ren, I have something else to take care of, so I'll leave first."

"Ah."

Watching Zhang Yang gradually walk away, Ren Xiaomin couldn't help but sigh, his eyes full of apology.

If he were ten years younger, he would have accepted Zhang Yang's invitation without hesitation.

But he is no longer young and he has no more choices.

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked quietly at the office building in front of him, memories flooding into his mind.

He joined the company when he was 24, and dedicated the next 15 years of his best years here. 15 years, but what about now?
He shook his head, feeling a little sad.

The end result was that he was suddenly fired at the age of 39, and the company was unwilling to even give him severance pay.

does it worth?
not worth it!

He turned around holding the small cardboard box and looked in the direction Zhang Yang had left. Zhang Yang's sincere words suddenly echoed in his mind again.

"Brother Ren, I am serious..."

"Brother Ren, you can propose any conditions you want."

Suddenly, he was touched.

Seeing Zhang Yang walking away, he suddenly took a deep breath and then walked quickly towards Zhang Yang.

"Zhang Yang, wait!"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment and stopped.

After a moment, Ren Xiaomin came up to him.

"Zhang Yang, I've made up my mind! I'm willing to join your company."

"But forget about the technology investment. After all, I didn't contribute any technology at all. It would be too much of an advantage for you to invest in technology!"

"As for salary, wait until your drug is actually put into clinical use before we talk about it!"

Zhang Yang was surprised and delighted. He didn't expect there would be such an unexpected turn of events.

But before he could speak excitedly, Ren Xiaomin continued:

"By the way, have you thought of a name for the company?"

Zhang Yang shook his head.

"In that case, I have a good name, Qingshan Pharmaceutical, what do you think?"

"Qingshan Pharmaceutical?"

……

Zhang Yang was delighted by the unexpected turn of events. After chatting for a while, the two quickly agreed to meet in the afternoon to discuss in detail.

Zhang Yang immediately changed his original itinerary. He first went to the Labor Bureau to submit an arbitration application, and then went to the Patent Office to submit a full set of patents for "Avatrombopag".

At this point, we have to briefly introduce pharmaceutical patents.

The patent for a drug is not actually just a single patent, but is composed of multiple sub-patents such as "compound patent", "crystal form patent", "formulation patent" and "synthesis route".

Zhang Yang has confirmed that the "Avatrombopag" provided by the system is completely different from the foreign "Ava" patent and there will be no patent risk.

That is to say, he could even come up with a completely new name!
But after thinking about it, I realized that Avatrombopag is now world-famous, and using the same drug name would save me the trouble of publicity.

In the end, he decided to just add a few words to "Avatrombopag Tablets" to distinguish it as a domestic product.

The full registered name is:

"Qingshan Avaqubopa Tablets".

After submitting all the patents, it was already noon. After a simple meal, Zhang Yang took the prepared materials and met with Ren Xiaomin again.
