Edward turned off the video call. He looked tired but excited at the same time.
The CEO of the company had returned to the United States, but he was left in the East to handle the joint venture company.
Moreover, the CEO had just given him an order. If he could convince the Fu family to let Supainding carry out clinical trials in Europe and the United States, he could be promoted to the vice president of the company and be responsible for managing all the drug research and development laboratories of the company.
This step was very important to Edward, as it concerned whether he could enter the company's core management.
If this step was realized, he would even have the opportunity to enter the company's board of directors in the future.
If he could get the Fu family to license other drugs to Johnson Johnson, or allow Johnson Johnson to invest in the company, he would be able to enter the board of directors this year.
It was just that he never had the confidence to negotiate with the Fu father and son.
He didn't want to enter the board of directors immediately, but he didn't want to miss the chance to become the vice president of the company.
At his age, his research and development ability had actually declined. He relied on experience to support himself. He did not want to stay in the laboratory for the rest of his life.
"The company really gave me a difficult task. I hope I can succeed.”
Edward laughed at himself and called Fu Xinming.
However, Fu Xinming told him to talk to Fu Liang about the clinical medicine.
Edward thought for a moment and decided to go to Xinming Pharmaceutical's new drug research and development laboratory center to look for Fu Liang to show his sincerity.
……
"Dr. Edward, do you want the third phase of the painkiller clinical trial to be carried out worldwide?”
Fu Liang was a little surprised. This was really a sleepy encounter with a pillow.
He quickly understood that this was also in line with Johnson Johnson's interests.
The faster the new drug was released, the lower the probability of the drug appearing in the same competitive market, and the greater the possibility of profit.
Moreover, if it could be listed on the global market at the same time, production and sales costs would be reduced, and profit rates would be higher.
Edward saw Fu Liang's surprised expression and explained in embarrassment,""Mr. Xiao Fu, because the painkiller isn't on the market, we haven't even obtained the production and sales approval of your country.”
"Therefore, in Europe and the United States, it is impossible to directly carry out clinical phase III. It is possible to start from clinical phase II, and some regions even have to start from clinical phase I.”
"However, many regions have simplified drug approval processes. Johnson Johnson has the confidence to make Sutong available on the global market at the same time.”
"I know this request is a little abrupt. When we discussed the cooperation previously, we didn't discuss this detail, but we talked about maintaining the greatest interests of the shareholders. This is also in line with the interests of you and the other shareholders of Xinming Pharmaceutical.”
Originally, Fu Liang wanted to ask Johnson Johnson for help, but now, it seemed that Johnson Johnson had taken the initiative to ask him, so he could raise his conditions.
"Dr. Edward, what you said is not impossible, but the joint venture company needs us to inject another sum of money according to the proportion and increase some management costs.”
Fu Liang crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair, looking unwilling.
"Mr. Xiao Fu, you and Xin Ming Pharmaceuticals don't lack cash now, right? Our first payment has already been received. You only need to take out a portion and inject it into the new joint venture company. Johnson Johnson will also inject it in proportion.”
Edward was a little puzzled. You guys shouldn't be short of money, right?
Although the four billion USD had to be transferred in two batches, the first batch was still two billion USD. The capital injection into the joint venture company did not need that much at all. A few hundred million USD was enough.
Fu Liang shook his head. The laboratory's expenditure is a lot. I still have to continue developing new drugs, which will cost me a lot of money. Moreover, our hair growth medicine is about to be approved, and we're also preparing to go abroad for phase three clinical trials.”
Edward frowned and thought for a moment.""Mr. Xiao Fu, what if Johnson Johnson can help you with the phase three clinical trials of the hair growth medicine in Europe and the United States?”
"We can even help you get the approval for production and listing. We only want the cost price and won't earn a single cent.”
"But I hope that if you want to find a partner for your new drug in the overseas market, you will choose Johnson Johnson first.”
Fu Liang looked at Edward and smiled.""It's not just hair growth medicine. There's also a hair removal cream and a medicine to lighten the color of the skin. I hope that the company in my previous life can help.”
Edward hesitated for a moment. Johnson Johnson would have to pay too much for more than just one drug.
However, after careful consideration, he realized that this way, the relationship between Xinming Pharmaceutical and Johnson Johnson would be closer. If Xinming Pharmaceutical had new special drugs in the future, Johnson Johnson should be the first choice for cooperation.
It was said that Asians also liked long-term and stable cooperation. Moreover, Asians were very particular about returning the favor. This time, they helped Xinming Pharmaceutical and Fu Liang. Fu Liang would definitely not let Johnson Johnson suffer losses in the future.
"Alright, our Qiang Sheng can agree. I'll report to the headquarters now and try to start the clinical trial next week.”
……
Johnson Johnson was very satisfied that Edward was able to negotiate with Fu Liang about the immediate overseas clinical trials of Adrenaline. As for helping with the clinical trials of other drugs, they were also willing to accept it. Anyway, it was just a side effect.
Fu Liang was even more satisfied with this. He didn't have to pay anything extra, and Johnson Johnson took the initiative to help.
Johnson Johnson was very efficient. In just over a week, they had obtained the clinical documents for these drugs and could start clinical trials.
During clinical trials, Johnson Johnson's pharmaceutical experts also stared at the clinical data to make sure that nothing was wrong, especially when it came to painkillers.
They were surprised to find that the painkiller's performance was better than they had expected.
Although it had only just begun, all the patients who took the medicine were full of praise.
What shocked Johnson Johnson even more was that the effects of hair growth medicine, hair removal cream, and other drugs were far beyond their imagination.
They could tell that if these two drugs were to be released, they would definitely be welcomed by the market and defeat all similar products!
Perhaps in the near future, Xinming Pharmaceuticals would rise rapidly in the East and grow into a top pharmaceutical giant in the world in just a few years!
Fu Liang watched the energy points in the system increase rapidly every day and smiled.
In just a week, he heard a ding again.
The system had upgraded!
