Chapter 1870 Sensation in the field of medicine
Yan Peng and Zhao Jian, one is experienced and steady, and the other is full of energy, forming a good complement, which is surprising.
The two of them had almost no conflict and could accept each other's opinions, which was not easy.
Some people are born in conflict and start to fight whenever they have disagreements; some people are born in tacit understanding, like the front and back of iron-sucking stone, with strong stickiness.
Su Tao inspected the new company this time and was still satisfied with the work of Yan Peng and Zhao Jian.
The new company is called Sanwei Biopharma Co., Ltd., with a focus on the research and development field. It now has more than ten independent project laboratories, 50% used for the research and development of generic drugs, and 50% used for the research and development of innovative drugs.
According to the current progress, generic drugs will have results within two months and the company will have profitability. It took only four months from new construction to profitability and can be considered efficient.
This is closely related to Zhao Jian’s experience in building many chain stores before.
Su Tao invited chief engineer Edison to chat alone.
In order to hire him to join the company, Zhao Jian can be said to have used all kinds of power. In the end, Edison was moved by Zhao Jian's perseverance and nodded in agreement.
Although Su Tao and Edison were speechless, under Ji Xiangjun's translation, the two communicated in a relatively in-depth manner, and Edison felt ambitious from the young Chinese boss.
Edison originally planned to retire in two years, but now he plans to delay his retirement, not only because the income given to him by the new company is attractive enough, but also because the boss is too young, Edison suddenly feels like he is pursuing his dreams when he was young.
Edison is a serious person, a bit similar to Anderson. He speaks very bluntly and easily offends people, but this kind of person is easier to get along with because you don’t have to worry about his indiscriminate plot against you.
"Now the international pharmaceutical field is monopolized by the four major pharmaceutical giants. We have put a lot of effort into innovative drugs, but it is easy to be sniped by giants. There is never a shortage of talent and medical miracles, but most of the miracles are taken for themselves by giants. Can you understand?" Edison devoted 50% of Su Tao's energy to the research and development of innovative drugs. He felt it was a bit inappropriate, so he advised Su Tao very seriously.
The company he worked for was a medium-sized drug research and development company. Although he had strong scientific research strength, after innovative drugs were developed, they would be stared by pharmaceutical giants and use various means to force the company to sell their patent rights.
Although that company can survive, it is extremely difficult to go further. After all, those pharmaceutical giants have mastered sales channels and have a good environment with other countries. If they do not compromise with them, those innovative drugs will not even be approved, and the huge amount of R&D funds invested in the early stage will be thrown into the water.
Su Tao took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "I understand what you mean. You are worried that our innovative drugs will be targeted by those pharmaceutical giants after they are developed, and then force us to sell these results. You don't have to worry about this. First, we are supported by the Tusca Group, and I am also one of the shareholders of the Tusca Group; second, comparing the world's pharmaceutical industry to a pyramid, with limited locations on it, but it does not mean that no one can go from below to above and replace it. We need to go further and become the power at the top of the pyramid."
Edison, etc.
After Ji Xiangjun finished translating, he was slightly stunned and his heart was in a turbulent state.
Su Tao's strategy is very simple. Zhao Jian is responsible for talking about money with Edison. As the boss, talking about money with him seems too vulgar and you must talk about ideals with him.
Su Tao gave Ji Xiangjun a wink. Ji Xiangjun understood and took out a document from his bag, then pushed it to Edison, saying, "These are two consultants we hired. We will have the opportunity to set up a laboratory here in the later stage. Please prepare."
Edison opened the file and his eyes lit up. These two documents introduced the Anderson team and Donald team respectively.
Edison was naturally well aware of these two top scholars.
Anderson is famous for his independent research and development. His laboratory is not dependent on any company, and the viral agents developed are recognized standards in the field of virology.
Many people think that virology has little commercial value, which is a wrong idea. Virology research results are one of the most likely directions to have production benefits today. Taking the simplest cold as an example, how to treat viral colds is related to Anderson's research direction.
As for Donald's team previously served a very small drug development company, several anti-cancer drugs produced by their team were purchased by large companies and only received some hard work. But Donald's team's reputation is greater than that of Anderson's team in the field of innovative drugs. Because anti-cancer drugs are more profitable than viral drugs, the economic benefits created are more objective.
"I have heard Professor Donald's lectures, and his position in the field of oncology is among the top three in the world. If he can join our company, I believe it will definitely cause a sensation in the field of pharmaceutical research and development." Edison's voice was a little excited.
Su Tao smiled and promised Edison: "In the future, we will invite more top-level experts to join the company. Of course, I will pay more attention to you than those experts, because you are the key person who makes them the profits for the company."
Whether Donald or Anderson, their respective theories may be at the top, but if they want to convert the theory into commercial value, some professionals need to assist in the transformation.
Edison is undoubtedly such a talent with rich experience.
Su Tao successfully grasped his psychology. If he wanted to truly win over Edison's loyalty, money alone was not enough. The key was to raise the banner and make him believe that the company had a bright and great future.
At the critical moment, two top experts, Donald and Anderson, were introduced to advertise. This wave was really high-end and atmospheric.
Needless to say, Su Tao’s relationship with Anderson is concerned that he has convinced Anderson to hand over several new antiviral agents to the new company for in-depth development. Ninety percent of the profits in the later stage will be given to Anderson’s team, and the profit will be used for the start-up capital of the later stage new projects.
Therefore, the document Su Tao showed Edison included this planned project plan, which made Edison feel relieved and recognized Su Tao's strategic direction of investing 50% of his energy in the field of innovative drugs.
Edison left the conference room happily.
Zhao Jian found Su Tao and asked with a smile: "It's rare to see an old man so happy. Could it be that you paid him again?"
Su Tao shook his head and smiled, "I told him that Anderson and Donald were going to set up a research room in the company, and both of these masters were under his control, so he naturally floated."
Zhao Jian didn't expect that Su Tao had this
He laughed and said with a silence: "No wonder! I don't think that old man is so happy with the salary increase. Master, you have really stabilized your morale here this time."
Su Tao waved his hand and smiled and said, "Don't put a high hat on me. I won't come here often in the future. I will leave many things to you to be responsible for managing. Remember that you are the morale of the army here."
Zhao Jian felt Su Tao’s trust and said seriously: “Master, I will never let you down!”
After Zhao Jian left the office, Su Tao called Wang Peng and asked him to contact Donald to confirm one or two innovative drug development projects with him, and would help him set up a laboratory at ld new company.
When Wang Peng heard the news, he smiled and said, "Donald is really lucky."
Su Tao shook his head and said seriously: "No, to be precise, we have lost our luck!"
Su Tao arranged for Zhao Jian to work hard to discover talents. Who would have thought that he would catch a top expert available in China?
Wang Peng frowned and said, "Our behavior can be considered as poaching people. Will the company he serves sue us for this?"
Su Tao made a quick decision: "Tell Donald that as long as he terminates the contract with the previous company, we will help him resolve all breach of contract liability."
Wang Peng stuck out his tongue, knowing that Su Tao had been paying attention, and said, "I'll contact Donald now!"
Wang Peng and Donald have always maintained close contact. He knew that Su Tao attaches great importance to Donald, and also knew that Su Tao wanted to keep Donald for his own use.
Donald also needs a good springboard. Although he now has many theories, he lacks the conditions to transform theories into results. The pharmaceutical companies that support him are too small in scale, limited in economic strength, and are also cautious in their investment in R&D.
Donald received a call from Wang Peng and was in a good mood. After he finished talking about the conditions given by Su Tao, he was ready to move.
"If I terminate the contract now, I will face a liquidated damages of $5 million, which is an amazing compensation. Otherwise, I will persuade the company to let them cooperate with you." Donald troubled me.
"Professor Donald, thank you for your understanding of our company. As a friend, I want to ask you, whether you want to terminate the contract with the original company is even more important." Wang Peng asked patiently.
Donald said in a deep voice: "To be honest, the boss of the company I am working with is my good friend. He has worked with me for many years and has also given me great help. But I also know that the size of the platform determines future development. Continuing to cooperate with him will only stop myself from moving forward."
Wang Peng said: "You are a very emotional person. My boss Su and I admire your character. But you have a greater dream and should not stop moving forward. I hope you can join us, and we will give your friends enough financial compensation."
"I really don't think there is no reason to refuse." Donald was finally convinced.
He decided to completely join Su Tao's camp, not only as an advisor, but as a part of it.
In addition to helping him build a sufficiently advanced laboratory, he can already shake him.
More importantly, Donald vaguely felt that Chinese patent medicines would be a breakthrough in his research on anti-cancer drugs.
