ALL NOVEL Chapter 12 OEM Production
In the corridor outside the study room, Lu Liang picked up his cell phone and dialed a phone number.
This number was given to him by Ji Hong. It was the phone number of the owner of a pharmaceutical company.
This is a small pharmaceutical company called Hope Pharmaceuticals, and the boss of the pharmaceutical company is named Wang Donglai.
Ji Hong said before that there is a pharmaceutical company that cooperates with their team and can help them produce drugs.
The pharmaceutical company we cooperate with is Hope Pharmaceuticals.
Soon, the call was connected, and Lu Liang said, Is this Mr. Wang?
Yes, I am. You must be Mr. Lu. Professor Ji has already told me the situation.
A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, and he sounded like a good-natured person: Mr. Lu, please send us the information about the drug, and then sign a few contracts and license the patent to us, and we will be able to Production is underway.”
The other party is already ready.
Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Wang. Lu Liang said.
It's okay, it should be.
Wang Donglai paused, and then asked: Mr. Lu, I would like to ask, I heard that the new drug you developed this time is for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Is it true or false?
right.
Lu Liang didn't hide anything. After all, Wang Donglai, as the boss of a contract pharmaceutical company, would know about this matter sooner or later.
After Wang Donglai heard Lu Liang's admission, he couldn't help but smacked his lips: Then the price of this drug must not be cheap!
To be honest, it is impossible that Wang Donglai has no thoughts at all.
There is a cooperation agreement between him and Ji Hong, and he helps Ji Hong OEM drugs.
But equally, he will take a portion of the profits from the drugs as profits for his factory.
This is also part of the cooperation agreement.
Wang Donglai was excited after learning that the drug they needed to be manufactured this time was a second-generation drug for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia.
He understands the value of specific anti-cancer drugs.
In terms of drugs, anything that has anything to do with the word cancer is not cheap.
What's more, this is only for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia. You know, Gleevec, which has the same efficacy, costs 40,000 per bottle.
Wang Donglai estimated that no matter how low Lu Liang's price for Bai Shuke was, the price should be tens of thousands of yuan per bottle.
Although their commission for OEM work is not high, drugs at this price can still make them a lot of money.
Thinking of this, the smile on Wang Donglai's face reached to his ears.
But what Lu Liang said next made Wang Donglai's smile freeze on his lips.
Mr. Wang, our medicine is priced at 500 a bottle.
Wang Donglai felt as if someone had hit his head with a hammer, and his head was buzzing.
For a moment, he doubted whether his ears had heard it wrong.
Mr. Lu, how much did you say the drug was priced at per bottle?
500?
After confirming that he heard correctly, Wang Donglai fell silent.
A few seconds later, Wang Donglai's incredible voice came from the phone.
Are you crazy?
I'm not crazy.
Wang Donglai smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said to the pharmaceutical dealer on the other end of the phone: Old Sun, I'm very sure that this is the price.
Sun Yi is a pharmaceutical distributor who has cooperated with Wang Donglai for many years.
After getting the contract signed by Lu Liang, Wang Donglai told Sun Yi about it.
So that Sun Yi can be prepared to distribute the drugs as soon as possible after the first batch of drugs are produced.
When talking about the price of Bai Shuke, Sun Yi was shocked for a moment when he heard Wang Donglai's price of 500 per bottle and wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Sun Yi's reaction was also what Wang Donglai expected, because when he heard the price Lu Liang gave Bai Shuke, he had the same disbelieving reaction, and even the words he asked were the same.
Lao Sun still couldn't believe his ears: A bottle costs 500 yuan, are you really sure, Lao Wang?
Listening to the trembling voice on the other end of the phone, Wang Donglai looked a little weird: I'm really sure. You asked me three times, Lao Sun.
After repeatedly confirming that the price of Beishuk is 500 yuan, Sun Yi swallowed and said: You should stop trying to persuade them. This is the same drug that can treat chronic myelogenous leukemia like Gleevec. Ah, now Gleevec is still selling 40,000 bottles.
Even if we only sell it for 30,000... no, 20,000 a bottle, even if it is only 20,000 a bottle, the price is only half of Gleevec, those leukemia patients will squeeze their heads to buy your medicine.
Novartis made its fortune thanks to Gleevec. With such a drug in hand, future generations will be like sitting on a golden mountain, no longer worrying about food and drink.
So, Lao Wang, do you really want to stop trying to persuade them?
Sun Yi persuaded that he had been cooperating with Wang Donglai for a long time, and his main source of income came from helping Hope Pharmaceuticals distribute drugs.
The relationship with Hope Pharmaceuticals can be said to be a loss for both sides.
Therefore, Sun Yi naturally hopes to see the pharmaceutical industry become bigger and stronger, so that he can get some light.
Wang Donglai sighed. He didn't understand this truth anymore. After being in this industry for so long, he actually knew better than anyone else how much potential and value Bai Shuke had.
But the question is, is this something he can change if he wants?
He is just an OEM pharmaceutical company, and this drug was not developed by his pharmaceutical company. He has no say in pricing.
After Wang Donglai was silent for a moment, he sighed, then picked up the phone and said, Okay, Lao Sun, stop talking. We are just an OEM. There is nothing we can do about others setting this price.
After hearing Wang Donglai's words, Sun Yi was silent for a moment, and finally showed a regretful expression on his face. He also knew in his heart that Wang Donglai, as a party that helped with OEM production, did not have any say in the pricing of drugs.
In the end, Sun Yi could only sigh: Okay, okay, since it's someone else's medicine, I won't say anything more.
When the drug is produced, let me know and I will make arrangements as soon as possible to put the drug on the market as soon as possible.
When he said this, Sun Yi suddenly paused. He seemed to have remembered something, and his voice became joking.
But, then again, when Bai Shuke appears on the market, those people at Novartis will probably go crazy!
Wang Donglai grinned. He thought so. After all, a bottle of Gleevec with the same efficacy costs 40,000, while a bottle of Bai Shuke only costs 500.
Who else will buy Gleevec in the future? It’s no wonder those people at Novartis aren’t crazy.
