Using Qin Xiaoan's pet phrase, the matter this time was really " blown up, blown up!"
Rabies was one of the diseases with the highest mortality rate in the world. The mortality rate reached an astonishing 100%. The difference between 100% and 99% was not just a little bit. The latter meant that there was hope, while the former meant that there was a death notice.
Originally, the provincial media's promotion of this new drug that could treat rabies made many people scoff because there were too many false advertisements these days. Even if Liu Jianguo was the leader of the pharmaceutical industry in the northwest region, many people were still unwilling to believe it. Many people even had such thoughts in their hearts. For this terrible disease, even if they developed drugs, only those large laboratories in foreign countries could. In a small place, a small pharmaceutical factory whose name had never been heard of claimed that it had conquered one of the most terrifying diseases in human society. Wasn't this the sneezing of a toad? What a boastful tone!
However, there were still some people who believed it, or rather, they had to believe it.
After hearing this report, some rabies patients immediately rushed over because they had already been notified of death by major hospitals. They basically didn't have the money to go to a big hospital to pay a high consultation fee to prolong their lives. They could only use some folk prescriptions or rush over to try any possible news.
For these patients, Chen Xu's father decisively decided to use the method of giving medicine for free. He did not charge these patients and directly gave them medicine for treatment.
Although it was free, how much could a few injections cost? With these patients 'publicity, would they still be afraid that the medicine would not be able to sell?
Moreover, Liu Lingtian was the only example of treatment, so it was not convincing enough.
After this batch of rabies patients were cured, Liu Jianguo spared no effort to spend money to find media outlets to promote it until the " Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences " published a report about this " Rabies Killer."
The Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences journal was a national journal. If a relevant article was published in such a journal, it would instantly shock the entire medical world.
The reporters of this journal were different from the ordinary third-rate tabloids. They would listen to the wind and make up the news. The reporters of this kind of magazine were all strict, so some of them specially came to the hospital to inspect it carefully. They even flipped through the medical records.
This time, the " Mad Dog Knot " was really famous!
Immediately after, even a national newspaper like People's Daily published on the front page," Chinese medicine conquers the world's most terrible disease. Rabies is no longer a nightmare." This article was then reprinted by major newspapers, and the news quickly spread abroad. The number of patients in the hospital also increased by a few foreigners who had traveled across the sea.
The " nemesis of rabid dogs " exploded in the world like thunder!
The British journal Nature first published an introduction to the new drug, followed by the American journal Science.
There was no doubt about the effectiveness of the nemesis of the rabid dogs!
What was more dramatic was that a professor at Caroline Medical College proposed to award this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine to the developer of Rabies. Of course, the proposal itself was not dramatic. The purpose of the Nobel Prize in Medicine was to reward those who made outstanding contributions to physiological medicine, regardless of nationality or race.
Cracking the disease with the highest mortality rate in human history was enough to go down in history. Winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine was only well-deserved.
However, the dramatic thing was that the professor lost track of time in his excitement because his beloved son was saved. Nominations for the Nobel Prize in Medicine ended on February 1st every year. After a series of screenings, they were submitted to the Nobel Conference and the winner was finally determined. Then, they would be announced in October and the award ceremony would be held at the Stockholm Music Hall on December 10th.
It was almost October now, and the winners of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Medicine had been decided. They were Dr. Andrew Farr and Dr. Craig-Mello from the United States. The two of them had discovered the interference mechanism of the Ribone-Nucleic Acid. Just as it was about to be announced, a dramatic twist happened.
In the end, after a heated discussion, the professors of Caroline Medical College felt that the emergence of rabies had not been tested by time. They had to continue to observe its follow-up development in the next year. If rabies was completely cured and did not recur, then it would be a matter of course to be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine, or even compete for the final award.
After discussions and confirmation from various top institutions, Chen Xu's father was invited to participate in this year's Medical Exhibition Summit held in San Francisco, USA. In just one day, the order quantity had reached 30,000--each selling for 888 US dollars!
Nowadays, rabies vaccine was so developed that most people who contracted rabies were either careless or unlucky. This group was not considered large compared to other symptoms. It could even be said to be very, very small! Therefore, Chen Xu's father was quite shocked that he could sell so many on the first day. Even if it was a domestic order, there were only 50,000 of them.
However, thinking about it, it was clear that the richer a person was, the more afraid they were of death. Those who really had rabies were not afraid to spend a small amount of money. It was 888 US dollars, and a course of seven injections was not much compared to other treatment methods. Many pet dog owners were also worried that the rabies vaccine would be useless, so hospitals in many areas bought hundreds of them as backup.
By the time Chen Xu's father returned to the country, he had received 100,000 orders from the United States alone. There were also orders from other countries that flew in like snowflakes.
It was priced at 888 US dollars overseas and 300 RMB in China. This price difference could be considered a big deal overseas! However, for the domestic community, 300 RMB per bottle was not considered expensive, so it earned a considerable reputation.
Chen Xu was so shocked that his tongue stuck out when he heard what his father told him. Just a single drug had made his father earn more than 100 million…US dollars in just a few days?!
One had to know that the annual net profit of Chen Xu's father's pharmaceutical factory was only tens of millions, and that was in RMB!
Chen Xu's father was also shocked by this figure. Medicine was a huge profit to begin with. The cost of this kind of rabies killer, including the medicine and packaging, was less than ten yuan. Of course, it did not include the labor cost and machine cost. Drug development and research were the most expensive. A drug might not even make a profit even if it cost billions. However, Chen Xu's father knew that he did not spend a single cent on this. It was entirely because his son had found a formula somewhere.
What Chen Xu's father was most worried about was that the original owner of this drug would jump out and cause trouble. Although he had already registered a patent, it was not a good thing for his reputation. He also specifically asked someone to investigate the pharmaceutical factory that caught fire in Zhengzhou and found that it was only a pharmaceutical factory that produced cough syrup and had nothing to do with rabies.
And when they asked Chen Xu, that little brat, that guy would always beat around the bush and pretend to know nothing. It made people want to give this guy a few tight slaps!
However, Chen Xu's father was still convinced that no matter what, his son would never harm him. Moreover, the benefits that this prescription would bring to his family were too great, so great that they could not even dream of it in the past! Excluding the potential influence and benefits brought by reputation, just the economic income alone was enough for him to earn for a lifetime!
" Son, since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you," Chen Xu's father finally said to Chen Xu,""We're family. Your mother and I trust you unconditionally. You naturally have your reasons for not saying anything, so we won't ask. I didn't expect that after so many years of hard work, I wouldn't be able to compare to you. Hehe, I've earned a lot this time. I've already made a will. I'll leave all these things in the pharmaceutical factory to you. F * ck, I was thinking that if you were a good-for-nothing, I would donate all my assets when I die so that you wouldn't ruin my life's work!”
Hearing this, Chen Xu's eyes were slightly moist. He spat and said,"Dad, you're still strong despite your age. What do you mean you're dead?”
Chen Xu's father chuckled and hung up.
Reporters from all over the world were naturally pursuing the origins of this rabies prescription because no one believed that this drug could be independently developed by a small pharmaceutical factory. After the interview, many employees of the pharmaceutical factory found out about this later than the reporters, which made people even more suspicious.
So, Chen Xu's father pushed the origin of the prescription to an ancestral medical book. After the news spread, a group of old Chinese doctors came to see the legendary medical book. These people were all well-known Chinese medicine experts in the country, the kind that was rarely seen.
Chen Xu's father finally knew that he had to lie more to make up for a lie. How could he have any ancient medical books? He could only say that the medical book was from a long time ago. He had read it when he was bored and remembered a few prescriptions. As for that book, he had no idea where it was now…
Naturally, no one would believe such a lame reason, but no one could force him. They could only guess that he was too lucky or that the medical book was too precious to be taken out so easily. Although the group of old experts felt that he was stingy, how could they force him?
Moreover, there were no flaws in this prescription. The drugs used were all common Chinese medicine. No one would suspect that this prescription was developed in the future.
However, Chen Xu's father was also a capable person. He then announced that he would use the income from this trip to invest in the construction of several large-scale pharmaceutical laboratories. Rabies was a nervous system virus, and there were many such symptoms. If he could successfully crack the prescription and make use of it, he might be able to develop drugs that targeted other nervous system diseases.
The initial investment of a few laboratories was as high as 300 million yuan, which attracted many old Chinese medicine experts to take the initiative to come and participate in the research. Chen Xu's father was even more delighted.
First of all, this money was equivalent to money that was picked up from the ground. It did not hurt to spend it. Secondly, Chen Xu's father also knew that the group of rabies patients was relatively small. Although the first batch of drugs had been sold, many of them were urgently needed. In the future, the sales of this drug would decrease until there was no profit. Therefore, it was not the nature of a businessman to sit and eat. It was the king's way to know how to forge ahead.
A mediocre person would think about how to live comfortably after earning his first bucket of gold. A genius would think about how to make money after earning his first bucket of gold!
Although Chen Xu's father didn't dare to call himself a genius, he definitely wouldn't belittle himself as a mediocre person. Moreover, it was also to lay a good foundation for that brat Chen Xu…
