Chapter 335

Jiang Xin and the senior management of Refractive Medicine were talking cordially.

Chen Liang and Liu Man strolled to the site of the expanded laboratory building.

“I heard that you spent five million to expand this building?”

How much money the boss spends, in fact, has nothing to do with the employee, but Liu Man is a more responsible person.

She thinks that Chen Liang just has money and nowhere to spend, so she thinks it would be a waste to renovate the laboratory building.

“This investment is worthwhile and will create rich returns for me in the future.”

Chen Liang looked at the messy construction site with his eyes as if he was looking at a monument.

Liu Man smiled.

This guy is really too deep into the play.

“You wouldn’t say the same to that President Jiang, would you? Say you want to overcome a terminal illness?”

Chen Liang turned his head and glanced at her.

“It is meaningless to discuss this issue now. It is better for us to study how much the drug should be priced after it is developed.”

Liu Man’s smile widened, and said: “The injections for spinal muscular atrophy require 700,000 injections, and the medicine for terminal illnesses costs 7 million, right?”

Chen Liang looked serious, seemingly unable to hear Liu Man’s ridicule, and thought: “Will it be too expensive?”

He really knows nothing about drug pricing.

“expensive?”

Liu Man said: “A few milliliters of medicines plus water, most people definitely think it is expensive, but they have never thought about why they can sell it so expensive.”

“It’s not difficult to copy, it’s rare to create. Drug molecules are not difficult, and it’s difficult to know why this drug molecule is. It’s like developing an operating system that costs tens of billions of dollars, but it’s not necessarily successful, and you copy the same code. The pirated disc is only sold for five yuan, and he still makes a profit because one is for creation and the other is for copying.”

“Creation starts with its cost.”

Like Chen Liang who doesn’t know how to popularize science, Liu Man has a serious way.

“The average time to develop a new drug is 13.5 years. This is only an investment in research and development. If capital factors are taken into account, the cost is as high as US$1.778 billion. This is the conclusion that an organization has conducted special research and statistics.”

“What’s more cruel is that you work hard and spend money and energy, and you may not be able to succeed in research and development. From the selection of the target to the lead compound screening, to the 123 phase before clinical optimization, to the final application for marketing, from the initial project When it comes to the market, do you know the success rate for more than ten years?”

Chen Liang naturally couldn’t answer.

“4%.”

“Only a 4% success rate.”

At this time, Liu Man was full of the demeanor of a PhD and high intellectual, standing in front of the construction site, talking freely.

“A problem in any link will lead to the abortion of research and development. For example, the SARS vaccine has encountered problems in clinical phase 3 and has not been developed so far. The cost of these failures is borne by the pharmaceutical company. So you still think 700,000. Is a medicine expensive?”

I have to admit that the Ph.D. is a Ph.D. He explained the key points of straight-through, hit the nail on the head, and gave him a deeper understanding of the pharmaceutical industry.

Chen Liang shook his head and sighed.

“It’s not like what a doctor said.”

“I’m just talking about things.”

Liu Man said: “Although medicine is used to cure diseases and save people, the essence of medicine is still a commodity. If it is a commodity, it must follow the laws of the market. I am not a medicine god. There is a line saying that there is only one disease in this world. It’s just poor disease. We have no reason to blindly blame the pharmaceutical companies, because the high prices of medicines are never determined by the pharmaceutical companies, but by the market.”



“A lithography machine is several hundred million yuan, and a production line is several billion yuan, but why a mobile phone only needs a few thousand yuan? Because billions of consumers share the research and development costs and fixed costs, and the group of patients with rare diseases Extremely limited, SMA, ALS, these diseases have only a few hundred thousand patients nationwide, and the consumer group is limited, so the amount to be shared is bound to be high.”

“That is to say, if I have developed a magical medicine for terminal illnesses, how much should I set the price?”

Chen Liang answered.

Hearing this, Liu Man said in a speech, somewhat speechless.

She said so much, but she seemed to be playing the piano to a cow, and this guy didn’t understand the point at all.

She did not want to give a platform to the pharmaceutical company, but she just took the opportunity to express that the difficulty of developing drugs was not easy, so that this guy had to retreat.

But it turned out to be good.

This guy would be totally wrong.

“For more than ten years, can you afford to wait? And it may be nothing in the end.”

She further reminded.

Chen Liang remained unmoved and looked at the hot construction site.

“Why do you always look at the problem pessimistically. Didn’t you just say that the average is more than ten years? In other words, there must be fast and slow. I believe that there are many good medicines that are developed in a short time. Come out, Dr. Liu, I have faith in you.”

It’s useless for you to have faith in me.

The key is that I am not confident in myself.

Liu Man smiled bitterly inside.

In fact, having said that, it is a very lucky thing to be able to meet this kind of boss, who is generous, generous, approachable and full of trust in oneself.

But Liu Man can hardly produce the feeling of death for a confidant.

on the contrary.

She felt that she had encountered one—the silly hat.

And it’s still hopeless.

She did not hesitate to take the risk of losing her 5 million annual salary to persuade her again and again, but the other party didn’t appreciate it at all, and insisted on doing her own way, as if she was poking straight to express four words.

——Wealthy and self-willed.

In this regard, Liu Man feels that he has done his best, and there is no need to waste his words anymore. The big deal is to get a salary for one or two years, and then leave.

“Where have you been?”

Chen Liang returned to the administration building.


Jiang Xin walked over immediately if no one was next to him, standing close, almost sticking to Chen Liang.

certainly.

No one was surprised.

The kind of thought Liu Man had had was not just her own.

In fact, when the young and beautiful Jiang Xin showed up, everyone had their own conclusions about the relationship between her and Chen Liang.

“Talked to our chief R&D engineer, and she gave me a medical lesson.”

“The Doctor Liu?”

Liu Man, who values ​​both beauty and talent, naturally left an impression on Jiang Xin.

At the meeting, when she gave a speech, the other person looked at her differently.

Others were smiling, admiring, and polite, only the female doctor had a flat expression throughout, and didn’t even look at her.

According to the rules, such ‘thorns’ heads are generally used to establish power.

“Well, it took me a lot of effort to dig her out. Doctor of Peking University School of Medicine, the youngest director of the former three medical doctors, is an excellent representative of women.”

“Are you familiar with her?”

Jiang Xin asked with a smile.

“Okay.”

Jiang Xin nodded and did not ask any more.

Although Liu Man is beautiful and talented, she can’t pose a threat to her.

Chen Liang asked her to be the general manager instead of Liu Man.

The most important thing for her now is to make achievements, not to be jealous of random struggles.

“She is an expert in the pharmaceutical industry. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask her.”

“I see.”
