A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 702 Production Base in China

Reporters from dozens of countries and hundreds of media outlets around the world were taking photos non-stop.

The reason why so many reporters came was that tuberculosis was officially conquered, which was indeed big news.

The second one was also the result of Anthony’s team’s contact. Each of these reporters also received a large amount of “travel expenses”.

After Professor Witte finished delivering the official comments on behalf of the World Health Organization and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, reporters turned their microphones to Lin Sanqi.

“Lin, first of all, congratulations on becoming the first person to diagnose tuberculosis. As we all know, there is still a big gap between Chinese medicine and the world’s medicine. So how did you invent the anti-tuberculosis drug?”

Lin Sanqi smiled and asked back:
“You all say that China is a mysterious country, so isn’t it normal for some magical things to happen?
In fact, the invention of Epirizine Tablets was inspired by traditional Chinese medicine in our country. Then I led my team to conduct targeted research and finally invented this medicine. “

A reporter asked: “Doctor Lin, I understand that Epyridamole tablets are actually a traditional Chinese medicine?”

Lin Sanqi would not fall into this trap. If you say it is a traditional Chinese medicine, people will definitely strongly question it:
“No, Epyridamole tablets are Western medicine. All the research, extraction, and experimental verification of this drug are carried out according to Western medicine. Professor Anthony of Harvard Medical School can testify to this.”

Anthony knows nothing, he took over halfway, but now both parties have a community of interests, so of course he will lie with his eyes open.

“Yes, Dr. Lin invented the Epyridamole tablets, so I have seen the experimental data, and I also went to China in person for half a year. I guarantee with my reputation that this is a magical drug that fully meets the standards of the FDA.”

Another reporter asked:

“Lin, as far as I know, the invention of the pyridoxine tablets has been widely publicized in China’s official media. So what I want to ask is, is this drug from China or the United States?”

This question also has a trap. If it is said to have been invented in China, it would probably be difficult to promote it.

Ideology was still very scary during the Cold War. It was not only China that proposed “We would rather have… than… the Miao people”, Western countries did the same.

Of course they say no. As long as the Chinese exports are transferred through a third country, they will be very popular. After all, the price is too cheap.

The countries that benefited the most during this period were Japan and Hong Kong.

Lin Sanqi looked at the reporter and smiled:
“Mr. Reporter, this is my Hong Kong household registration.”

Lin Sanqi shook the household registration card in his hand and continued:
“I am from Hong Kong, and my family owns a clinic in Hong Kong. Oh, you can think of it as a hospital.

Ethiopride tablets were actually discovered and invented from the medical books passed down in our family.

Of course, journalist friends all know that the invention of any drug requires a powerful laboratory and huge investment.

In addition, all drugs need to undergo Phase IV clinical trials before they can be marketed, which in turn requires huge amounts of money.

So what I do is, I cooperate with infectious disease hospitals in mainland China, leverage the power of China’s national laboratories, and the low labor costs, so I can save a lot of money.

I think from a cost perspective, that’s understandable.”

Professor Anthony then interrupted:

“I was very surprised by China. I went to their infectious disease hospital as a visiting scholar. I found that their experimental equipment was more advanced than ours in the United States. This was incredible.

Therefore, China is definitely not as poor and backward as we imagined. Perhaps they just don’t want to attract other people’s attention by being high-profile.

What I want to say is that if there are drug cooperation projects in the future, China will definitely be a good partner. “

Anthony’s words are actually trying to dispel some people’s doubts about whether China has the ability to invent advanced drugs.

Lin Sanqi thought, the experimental equipment of the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital were all shipped there in 2015, so of course they won’t scare you to death with their advanced technology.

However, we do not welcome using the Chinese as guinea pigs. Let them go to India to cause trouble.

At this time, another reporter asked:

“Lin, the Epyridamole tablets have passed the WHO review and can be officially put into clinical use. There are hundreds of millions of tuberculosis patients in the world, which is a huge number. How do you plan to promote the Epyridamole tablets?”

Lin Sanqi decided to take a risk at this time. He had originally planned to conceal the matter of the mainland factory, but now he was ready to do some positive publicity for the mainland.

“That’s right. After the WHO’s approval, we still need to obtain approval from drug regulatory authorities around the world, which will take some time, but we have already started the preliminary work. By then, I will have strategic cooperation with two pharmaceutical companies in the United States and England, and we will ensure that everyone can enjoy the benefits of anti-tuberculosis drugs within the legal framework, including medicine and business.”

Lin Sanqi needs to downplay his red background, so he needs to formally declare to the outside world that he is a “good collaborator” rather than a destroyer of the game.

This is very important. In ancient times, domestic capital served politics.

But abroad, politics serves capital, or the people on the stage are actually the spokespersons of capital, or they themselves are capital.

As long as you can make profits for foreign capital, no one will mind whether you are red or white.

Just like in the TV series “The Hidden”, Xie Ruolin, a professional intelligence dealer, tried to persuade Yu Zecheng to use his identity as the deputy station chief of the Security Bureau to trade intelligence, but failed. He took out two gold bars and stammered out this sentence:

“Now put two gold bars here, can you tell me which one is noble and which one is dirty.”

So don’t think that capital is one-size-fits-all and will definitely not cooperate with China. What capital wants is to monopolize China’s exports, allow them to earn money from re-export trade, and make money without doing anything.

Lin Sanqi handed over the sales rights to two medical giants (two foreign companies), which actually allowed them to make money from export and re-export trade, which was not considered a violation of the rules of the game. “

Of course, some people may ask, why don’t you, Lin Sanqi, be like other time travelers and go to Europe and the United States to start a company, make a lot of money, and confront the European and American governments head-on.

Please, if your product wants to enter the European and American markets, it needs approval from foreign governments. They don’t have to do anything to you, they just don’t approve or allow your product to be put on the market. What can you do?
Even if you are listed and successful in the market, what would you do if someone confiscates you or shuts you down? (For example, Douyin)
The government represented by European and American capital will let you know what a real gangster is and what the descendant of a robber is. Do you still want a chance to compete fairly?

Have you watched “Yilin” too much?
The reporters were quite interested and understood the hidden meaning behind Lin Sanqi’s words.

So they asked one by one: “Excuse me, Dr. Lin, how do you plan to cooperate with European and American companies?”

Lin Sanqi smiled slightly, pretending to be harmless and replied:
“The specific operation steps are that our side, that is, Hong Kong and the mainland are responsible for production, and the two companies in the United States and England are responsible for sales.

The patent for Epirizine Tablets is in Hong Kong, and my pharmaceutical company is also headquartered in Hong Kong, but the production base is located in the mainland. So I want to make it clear in advance that Epirizine Tablets are a Hong Kong drug.

But as the reporter just said, there are hundreds of millions of tuberculosis patients in the world, so we need a large-scale pharmaceutical factory to produce enough medicines to supply tuberculosis patients around the world.

But Hong Kong’s situation is special. It is impossible to build a new large-scale pharmaceutical factory, and there is not enough manpower. So I decided that the pharmaceutical factory should continue to cooperate with the mainland and set up the production base in Bao’an County in the mainland. “

Boom~~~
This was explosive news, and it instantly attracted the interest of all the reporters. These people had the most sensitive sense of smell, and they raised their hands one by one:

“Lin, do you think the mainland will agree to introduce foreign investment?”

“Doctor Lin, the mainland now implements a collective system. Will your application be approved?”

“Lin, the mainland is so conservative, will they accept Hong Kong investment?”

Lin Sanqi shrugged and said easily:
“I think everyone has a misunderstanding. In fact, mainland China has always been open and wants to make friends with the world. It is not as fierce and evil as everyone imagines.

Just like when I was experimenting with anti-tuberculosis drugs in China, my colleagues from Harvard Medical School in the United States and friends from Japan’s Nichimen Company all came to mainland China to visit or receive treatment, and they were not hindered in any way.

I am a doctor and I produce medicines. This does not involve politics and I do not care about politics. I only care about whether my pharmaceutical factory can make money and bring me enough profit.

China has vast land and very low labor costs. They have industrial workers, college students, and professors. They have all the human resource conditions.

Let me give you an example. A worker in mainland China only earns a dozen dollars a month. Even a university professor earns less than 100 dollars a month.

Listen, where else in the world has lower costs and labor advantages than this?

Moreover, Chinese people are very docile and obedient, unlike workers in some countries who would easily quit their work and affect production plans.

So I think everyone should seize the opportunity, make friends with the mainland, cooperate to set up factories, develop the economy together, and make money together.

Business is business, there is absolutely no need for an Iron Curtain or Cold War.

Countries have ideological differences. Since the Chinese people have chosen to take a different path, you may not understand it, but we should respect it.

But medicines have no ideology. Are only medicines produced in Europe and America able to cure diseases? That is impossible.” (End of this chapter)
