Five billion USD!
When the few bosses of the Xinming Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. heard this number, they didn't even know that their chopsticks had fallen to the ground.
Five billion USD was more than the market value of many of their companies. It was even more than ten times!
They had worked hard for most of their lives, partnering with others to run the company, but they had not earned 500 million US dollars. Now, Fu Liang only needed to nod his head and he could get 5 billion US dollars.
In their hearts, a young man like Fu Liang would definitely agree impatiently.
After all, with this money, he could retire in any country in the world and live a rich life.
However, they were shocked to find that Fu Liang shook his head happily.
"Dr. Edward, if Johnson Johnson owned this drug, would you sell it?”
"I remember that Johnson Johnson launched an injection to treat blood clot last year. It sold more than three billion US dollars that year and is still very popular this year.”
"When Pfizer first launched Viagra, it created an industry legend with annual sales of more than 23 billion yuan.”
"Whether it's your medicine to treat blood clots or Pfizer's Viagra, the indications are relatively narrow, right?”
"Your medicine may be life-saving, but the number of patients is far less than the number of patients suffering from pain. In many cases, pain will make people want to give up their lives!”
"How much do you think our annual sales will be if we promote this medicine worldwide? If we get the approval of the ATM in the future, how much sales will we have?”
Five billion was indeed a lot. Fu Liang would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted.
But Johnson Johnson was willing to spend five billion dollars to buy this painkiller because Johnson Johnson knew how big the painkiller market was.
These top pharmaceutical companies in the world had annual net profits of more than 10%, and sometimes even more than 30%.
Their annual sales were generally more than 50 billion US dollars, which meant that their annual profits were more than 5 billion US dollars.
For any company, it would take less than a year's net profit to obtain an opportunity to increase the company's sales by 10% or even 20% annually, and it could also form a leap in the business.
As long as the company didn't go bankrupt, they would do it.
This was because such an opportunity could only be encountered by chance.
Johnson Johnson was one of the top ten pharmaceutical companies in the world. There was only one way to increase sales, and that was to launch new products that were popular in the market.
They even had to ensure that there were new products appearing every year so that they could always be in the lead and not be surpassed by the latecomers.
Johnson Johnson's offer was insincere, so he rejected it without hesitation.
Edward looked at Fu Liang. He had thought that Fu Liang was a genius in chemistry and pharmaceutics who focused on drug research and development. Such geniuses would usually put 100% of their energy into their profession and would naturally be average in other aspects.
That was why he offered five billion USD to make Fu Liang agree.
Fu Liang was Fu Xinming's son and the only heir to the company's controlling shareholder. As long as Fu Liang agreed, Fu Xinming would definitely not object.
As for the other small shareholders, would it be useful to object?
"Mr. Little Fu, perhaps you can give me an offer. As long as I think it's okay, I can agree to it directly without reporting it to the board of directors.”
Edward knew that he had to sign the contract with Xinming Pharmaceuticals as soon as possible. Otherwise, people from other pharmaceutical companies would appear in Ice City and appear in front of the Fu father and son.
After all, those pharmaceutical companies were also very well-informed. They might not be able to rush over from the headquarters in time, but they all had branches or joint ventures in the East, so they could talk first.
When all the top pharmaceutical companies gathered together, the initiative was completely in the hands of Xinming Pharmaceutical. Not only would the difficulty of obtaining this prescription increase exponentially, but the price they had to pay would also increase exponentially.
Edward understood this, and so did Fu Liang and Fu Xinming. That was why they would talk to the others today, but they wouldn't agree to anything. They were just testing the waters.
"Dr. Edward, I can't give you a quote right now. I can only tell you one thing. We won't sell this new drug formula.”
"If you really want to cooperate with us, report it to your headquarters and discuss a price that I'm satisfied with.”
"It would be best to form a written report, describing your cooperation methods and advantages. Oh right, it has to be in both Chinese and English. That way, it'll be more convenient for us. At that time, our company will choose the best among them.”
Dr. Edward was stunned. Johnson Johnson had always negotiated with other pharmaceutical companies like this, letting others send written reports to Johnson Johnson to choose.
He did not expect to encounter such a situation in the East, where he thought the chemical and pharmaceutical industry was backward.
However, he had no choice but to agree.
Ten minutes later, Edward was in the car and dialed another American number.
……
At the headquarters of Bayer, after the chairman received a call from the east, he quickly held an emergency board meeting.
"This is a video. We've already had it translated. This is the data of a phase II clinical trial announced by an eastern pharmaceutical factory. It's a new painkiller…"
"We have to send people to the East as soon as possible and try to buy this prescription. We can even buy this pharmaceutical company as a whole.”
"Our bottom line is 10 billion euros!”
……
At Pfizer, a group of directors were also looking at the information.
"If this information is real, then we must take it. This way, Pfizer will remain the undisputed number one pharmaceutical company in the world, and our position will be unshakable for five or even ten years!”
The patent protection period for the special drugs they developed such as Viagra had long expired. Now that many pharmaceutical companies around the world were producing sildename tablets, their profits had long since reached less than one-tenth of their original profits.
However, Viagra had helped them create a record of annual sales of more than 23 billion US dollars. No other drug had been able to break it.
If they could get this drug, with Pfizer's strong sales ability, they had the hope of creating a new legend in the industry!
"Alright, since we've reached an agreement, Chris, take a private plane to Ice City immediately. I've already informed the people stationed in the East to contact them first. We can't let Johnson or any other company get their hands on it!”
At the same time, Roche, Novartis, Clark, Glaxosmithkline, and other top ten or even top thirty pharmaceutical companies in the world sent representatives to Ice City.
As for those who were ranked 30th and above, they knew that they wouldn't stand a chance even if they went. They simply couldn't come up with the conditions to compete with other pharmaceutical companies.
In just two days, Xinming Pharmaceutical's name had already resounded in the ears of its peers around the world.
Meanwhile, Ice City was like a gathering of the world's top pharmaceutical companies.
In the meeting room of Xinming Pharmaceuticals, the shareholders were all sitting together, beaming with joy.
Fu Liang looked at everyone. Go and tell them that their reports are all unqualified!”
