Supreme Pharmacist System Chapter 246: How much does it cost to get a technology transfer?
The discovery of AIDS specific drugs has attracted great attention from all over the world.
With the press conference held, countless people were excited and eagerly awaited.
However, when Zhang Jianfu answered questions from reporters, he was very dissatisfied with the ambiguity about the source of technology.
Of course, this does not affect the authority of the press conference.
As the press conference was held, the news that the AIDS medicine was about to be launched really spread all over the world.
In addition to the domestic news reports, many foreign heavyweight media such as "Wall Street Journal", "New York Times" and "Guardian" have successively carried out extensive reports.
[AIDS is saved]
[AIDS medicine is coming soon]
【The savior of the world's 37.9 million HIV-infected people is here】
【…】
Within 48 hours after the press conference, more than 300 medical institutions and units in more than 100 countries and regions around the world applied for cooperation with Universal Bio.
At the same time, the relevant Chinese authorities also sent people to contact and negotiate.
You must know that the invention of AIDS specific drugs by Universal Bio is not only related to their company's business, but also involves national interests.
For example, China and the EU signed the "China-EU Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement" in 1998, which includes medical technology cooperation.
There is no relevant agreement on the US side. Universal Bio cannot be sold to the US side without permission. The US side must come up with some equivalent technology or medical equipment in order to obtain AIDS specific medicines. The right to import.
Now the relevant departments come, in addition to informing the relevant rights and obligations, there is another important thing, the people accompanying the EU Framework Planning Committee, come to discuss the issue of technology authorization.
27th 2:00pm, Hengfeng Building, Jinhu District, Block A.
The spacious and luxurious conference room was full of people. In addition to the leaders and entourages from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the W Health Commission, the government and other relevant departments, there were also a group of foreigners with high noses and blue eyes.
These people are naturally the commissioners of the EU Framework Programme Committee.
Mainly there are Commission Director General Fast and Deputy Commissioner Lucia.
"You are really good creatures of the universe."
"Thank you for your compliment, we still have many shortcomings and need to learn and improve."
"Mr. Zhang, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Fast, the Director-General of the European Framework Commission, and this is Ms. Lucia, the Deputy Commissioner."
"Hello, hello~"
"Hello..."
After a few chats, the leaders of China Y and the local government were all laughing and drinking tea and chatting. As for specific matters, there would naturally be a special person to discuss privately with Universal Creatures, and there was no need for them to worry about the leaders.
And the people of the EU Framework Programme Committee have nothing to do with them.
The agreement was signed by the previous leaders, and the benefits and honors were also taken up by the predecessors. They brought people from the EU here just to perform a little duty. As for whether the people from the EU and Universal Bio can negotiate a result, that's none of their business matter.
Besides, the international situation is changing. Even the United Kingdom has left the European Union. The agreement signed 20 years ago is only a superficial one, and in fact it has no binding force on the two sides at all.
Director-General Fast, who has gray hair and a beautiful beard, pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said straight to the point: "Mr. Zhang, we are here this time mainly for the purpose of AIDS medicine. technology and formula are licensed.”
Jianfu Zhang is of course aware of China's technology cooperation agreement with the EU, so it's not surprising what Fast said.
He happily agreed: "Yes!"
It was Director General Fast's turn to be surprised. He originally thought that Zhang Jianfu would refuse, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so readily.
But before the smile on Fast's face fully unfolded, Zhang Jianfu followed closely: "But..."
Director-General Fast's heart suddenly tightened, and he secretly said "come", with a slight smile on his face, he said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang, we will give some financial compensation."
Zhang Jianfu changed the subject and asked, "How much?"
Fast: "One million euros."
Jianfu Zhang said with a smile: "Mr. Fast, as far as I know, the EU's Sixth Framework Program, the annual basic research funding is as high as 700 million euros, of which the annual funding for HIV research is about 30 million euros.
The cost is borne by the EU member states in proportion to their respective GDPs.
You have digested all this money internally without giving us a penny of research funding.
Now they are giving us 1 million euros like sending beggars and want to take away our technological achievements. Do you think it is appropriate? "
An embarrassed look appeared on Old Fast's face, "Uh..."
Deputy Commissioner Lucia, wearing a black dress and meat stockings, immediately said: "Mr. Zhang, since you are familiar with the operation rules of our committee, you should know that we are a non-profit unit, and the 1 million euros are compensation, not technology. I want you to know about this."
Zhang Jianfu: "Of course I understand! But the medicines produced are not free, are they? And most of the original research medicines imported into our country are paid for by themselves. Isn't that true? So you don't have to tell me anything. As a non-profit organization, we all know exactly what's going on."
Lucia frowned and said, "But you must know that China and the EU have signed an agreement, and you must provide us with technical formulas unconditionally."
Jianfu Zhang smiled and said, "Ms. Lucia, if you say that, we won't have anything to talk about. Why don't you guys go back and discuss?"
Lucia's face looked a little unsightly, and she frowned and didn't speak.
Fast asked: "Mr. Zhang, can you tell me how much it costs to get the technology transfer?"
Zhang Jianfu said simply: "Provide us with 30 million euros of research and development funds every year for three years. In addition, for each drug sold, we will take a sales share of 2,000 euros. How about it? It's not too much, right?"
Fast: "..."
Lucia: "..."
Isn't that too much?
Just crazy.
Not only the licensing fee of 90 million, but also the sales share of 2,000 euros for a medicine, which is so black.
According to this calculation, a medicine has to be sold for at least 5,000 euros to be able to pay back its cost. How many people can afford this price?
Fast stood up and said, "Sorry, let's go first."
Jianfu Zhang stood up and said with a smile, "That's fine! But to be honest, Mr. Fast, the price we offered is very fair."
Fast is noncommittal.
……
Universal Biologicals Laboratory.
In the office, secretary Chu Lin is reporting the results of the negotiation to Zhou Wen.
“Mr. Zhang said that the EU side is likely to put pressure on us through the government, but he has already sent someone to communicate with us in advance, and it is not a big problem. Now he is still a little worried about the efficacy of the drug, and hopes to start clinical trials as soon as possible.”
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Tell him, you don't need to worry about the efficacy of the drug! As for the first phase of clinical trials, it will be about the middle of next month."
"Okay, I got it!" Chu Lin packed up the materials and then asked, "Are you still doing anything?"
Zhou Wen flipped through the notepad and said, "It's alright, you can go back!"
"Yeah!"
After Chu Lin left, Zhou Wen got up and went to the second-phase experimental building, the AIDS Research Institute.
In the laboratory, a group of drug research experts are all excited.
Because the drug has already passed the treatment experiment, it skips the [drug discovery stage], that is, the arduous experimental steps such as drug source, chemical synthesis, target screening, and lead screening, and directly starts the [preclinical research].
It is the safety evaluation.
Seeing Zhou Wen coming, Dr. Wang Rong, the person in charge, said excitedly: "After the preliminary test, the safety meets the experimental requirements."
Although it has been tested on humans in Botswana, safety is guaranteed.
But it is a private experiment after all, and it is impossible to conduct a clinical trial without the testing and certification of an authoritative organization.
And now, clinical trials are only one step away.
The most important thing is that the result is doomed, and that is the most important thing.
Zhou Wen nodded.
After chatting with Dr. Wang Rong ~IndoMTL.com~ then left the AIDS Institute and went to the Anti-Allergy Institute next door.
Chen Ruobing is immersed in researching compounds in front of the computer.
This is the anti-allergic cough in her research institute. The target was discovered by Zhou Wen for her. She also published many papers on this, which was highly recognized by the medical community at home and abroad.
Of course, the discovery of drug target data does not mean that drugs can be developed. This is not a concept.
Because "compound synthesis" and "active compound screening" need to be carried out later...
Under normal circumstances, the discovery of drug target data is only the first step of a long march.
But now with the help of Zhou Wen, a pharmaceutical genius, she no longer walks on the Long March, but drives a car and runs 120 miles along the way...
