Chapter 206 The impact of pharmaceutical companies

  Switzerland, Global Headquarters of Huanuo Group.

   "Umbrella again? Why are they again? Damn it!"

  The CEO of Huanuo Group felt dizzy looking at the report in front of him.

   It's him, it's Umbrella!

  I feel that this company is simply poisonous!

  The first A1 contact lens that was released instantly blew up Hua Nuo's Vision glasses, the kind that exploded directly on the spot.

  Even if Huanuo Group has a big business and a market value of over 100 billion US dollars, one of the world's three largest pharmaceutical companies can directly lose the entire big market of glasses, but it is still an unbearable pain.

   After all, the glasses business is too profitable, and there are too many users.

  With the increasing output of Umbrella A1 glasses, the traditional glasses overlords such as Vision, Johnson & Johnson have also directly withdrawn from the stage.

However, Hua Nuo and Johnson & Johnson are quite fortunate, because they can see that the material of the A1 glasses is against the sky, so there must be no comparison in this aspect, but at any rate, it is the lens, and it should be the lens of Carl Zeiss that has a headache. mechanism.

  Although a large comprehensive pharmaceutical company like ours has suffered heavy losses, its fundamentals have not been lost.

  But then the antilithiasis drug that Umbrella threw made Hua Nuo's heart skip a beat.

   Fuck, aren’t you a camera guy? How did you enter our pharmaceutical field? !

   And the medicine is so effective.

  Actually, at this time, Huanuo, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and other established pharmaceutical companies vaguely sensed the problem, and then quietly invested a lot of money in Chinese patent medicines and some traditional ancient prescriptions!

  Companies like Huanuo and Johnson & Johnson spend nearly 10 billion dollars on drug research and development every year! Naturally understand the importance of research and development.

  Even if the antilithiasis medicine itself did not touch their core business, stone stones are rarely used in the first place, and this time the impact was not great, but they still plunged into the ancient prescription.

   And cooperating with their own shareholder forces to put pressure on the other party, wanting to see this new technology, but unfortunately, they are not only in pharmaceuticals, but also in security, which is very dirty.

  After discovering a problem, pharmaceutical companies like Huanuo hid behind those chaebols and waited and watched.

  We are just selling medicine, you chaebols play by yourself.

  Calculus medicine, we can accept it, let’s share a share, anyway, there are quite a lot of competitors, not bad for you.

   But then they came up with a new vaccination training system!

  Vaccination is also Hua Nuo's strong point. Although Merck was the most severely damaged this time, Hua Nuo is still vigilant, worried that it will invade its core business.

   Further behind, **** it!

  The real miracle drug against the virus?

   What the **** is this?

  Destroy the Three Views, okay?

  Anyway, many of their researchers went crazy on the spot, and began to believe in theology instead of believing in science. The cover of the Bible still looked a bit like the trademark of Umbrella Corporation.

   Moreover, Umbrella Company is also a ruthless character, and they will be attacked if they disagree with each other. There is nothing they can do about it.

   Fortunately, they finally agreed to sell some of the culture medium.

  Although the price is expensive, Hua Nuo is fighting for this share.

  At present, a lot of funds are invested to crack this medium, and many experiments are done with the help of this medium. Some things that were stuck in the past can be realized through this medium.

   But they haven't produced any practical results yet, and the other party has come up with such a big piece of news!

  In vitro culture of hematopoietic stem cells! Autologous transplant!

   Did you make a mistake? Can you guys do business?

   One-shot deal is a fart!

   Not all leukemias require immediate bone marrow transplantation. For example, Hua Nuo has a very famous product.

Gleevec!

  It can have a long-term survival effect on chronic myelogenous leukemia, and it can be said to be a magic medicine except that it is expensive.

  Although this drug can also target malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumors, the main patients are patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, which accounts for 20% of leukemia patients.

  Theoretically speaking, all leukemia patients can be cured by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but as mentioned earlier, too few have the conditions to complete hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and usually only acute patients have this option.

   Those who have the ability to prolong the survival period through other means are all other comprehensive treatments.

   This is completely different from those tumor removal surgeries.

It is precisely because of this that it is foreseeable that with the promotion of Umbrella's plan, as more and more patients can complete the transplantation, the sales of Huanuo's miracle drug that can make money every day will also increase. Greatly affected!

  When the wave of contact lenses came out, the stock price dropped a lot, and it was barely pulled back by relying on other good news. As a result, how long did it take before you came out again?

  Hua Nuo is well aware of the efficacy of this culture medium. It doesn’t surprise him that hematopoietic stem cells can be quickly cultivated. He just didn’t expect Umbrella to do so.

   "Don't make money, do you still want to be a saint? Forget it, let the board of directors have a headache. The Sackler family should be more anxious."

   Huanuo CEO showed a self-deprecating smile. In fact, if it is just this incident, although it will hit Huanuo hard, it is not unacceptable.

  Gleevec, which was developed in 2001, has already made a lot of money with interest.

   If it’s not for the profits, they stupidly invest nearly tens of billions of dollars in research and development with a long payback cycle every year?

   It can be seen that Umbrella played the card unreasonably, as if he didn't care about the interests at all, but it was a headache.

  The key is that the technology in their hands is indeed awesome, indeed top-notch!

   Now that we have taken action in many ways, will it continue to expand in the future?

   It’s all mixed up. The more cutting-edge technologies the other party brings out, the more they will squeeze their living space...

   There are many pharmaceutical companies with similar ideas to Huanuo, including Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer.

  Of course, it is still the Sackler family who pay the most attention to this. It can be said that top pharmaceutical companies all have shares behind them, and they have a great say in this field. In addition, some private experiments of their own and the conflicts that broke out in Africa.

  The stronger Umbrella gets, the more disturbed they become.

  Obviously, it was an inconspicuous company at the beginning, but it only had unique technology in its hands, and then it was protected by a security company.

  But how long has it been? How did it grow so brutally? !

  How can there be companies in the world that grow so fast?

   They know that there is a world company in the East, but it focuses on entertainment, software, and games, and relies on the Internet, which is acceptable and understandable, but Umbrella is too exaggerated.

  Even if there is technology accumulation in the past, this is impossible.

   But what can be confirmed now is that the great mathematician who has been missing for three years should have some kind of cooperation with Umbrella Corporation.

  Before, Sackler even wanted to kidnap the other party to help with things, but unfortunately, it failed.

   "This year's Turing Award has been distributed, so next year's Turing Award will definitely go to this great mathematician who proposed artificial intelligence algorithms?"

   "Well, invite him to talk about it when the time comes, maybe you can try it at the Seoul Mathematicians Conference..."

  …

   "It's really a good movie, it should be released for a while longer."

  In an old rental house of less than 40 square meters, a pale man wearing a mask looked at the information on the computer screen in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

   Ah Xiang is a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia.

  Although he has his wife and daughter who will never give up and insist on it all the time, the original well-off family has also been eaten up by him without a car or a house. Now he can only live in this small rental house.

  Many times he thought of just leaving, so as to save his wife and daughter from suffering.

   But looking at her daughter's pitiful eyes and his wife's tough attitude, I was still stopped by reluctance and fear in my heart, and it dragged on until now.

   "A daughter cannot grow up without a father. It is your duty to live on!"

  My wife’s stubborn words still ring in my ears. As a former screenwriter, although he is still dragging his sick body to accept jobs and want to support the family, a large part of the burden of making money is still on his wife.

   Fortunately, Gleevec is now covered by medical insurance, and his monthly consumption has changed from tens of thousands to several thousands. Finally, he sees the hope of continuing to live.

   Touched the photo on the family portrait next to him, A Xiang also showed a warm smile on his face

   "I still want to see my daughter get married and start a family, and I still want to grow old with you, and I still don't want to die... Isn't it too cowardly?"

   Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he saw the time and his daughter was about to leave school, so he was ready to go out to pick her up.

  Although the daughter has been worried about his body and said that she should stop picking up when she grows up, Ah Xiang just wants to see her more.

  Going out on a small electric donkey, wearing a mask and helmet, Ah Xiang also turned the key.

  But at this moment his phone rang, and it was a call from a patient.

   "Brother Ah Xiang! Hurry up and go online to see Umbrella's latest announcement! We have something to look forward to! We really have something to look forward to!"

  The caller was a young man. Ah Xiang knew that their family conditions were hard to beat even with the current medical insurance price, which was even more difficult than his own.

   But now he heard the sound of crying with joy, which made Ah Xiang stunned.

   Could it be that Umbrella has also produced a special medicine?

   Ah Xiang is quite familiar with this company, because his wife gave him glasses from this company for his birthday.

   And his wife's kidney stone was also cured by their medicine.

  At that time, both of them joked that it would be great if they could develop a special medicine for leukemia. Is it true?

  Following Ah Xiang's quick opening of the webpage, he immediately came across the latest news, and took advantage of the residual heat after the release of "The God of Medicine" to directly rush to the trending searches.

  《All leukemia patients are expected to be cured, and Umbrella has developed a rapid cultivation technology for in vitro stem cells. "

  《Umbrella Company said that all hospitals qualified to perform surgery can apply for the purchase of culture medium quotas and participate in corresponding training! "

  For a while, Ah Xiang's hand holding the phone trembled.

real…

  There is hope...

  —

Note: I don’t mean to attack pharmaceutical companies. Although new drugs are very expensive, the research and development costs of new drugs are indeed huge, and the payback period is long. It takes a lot of time to pass the review. At least with their investment, many diseases have indeed been overcome. And in the future, as the patent expires, the price will also have room to decline.

  But after all, novels always have a big devil...
