Chapter 409: Successful Development
After visiting the laboratory, Shen Long commented, "Are you investing heavily in technology? Not only are you willing to spend a lot of money to buy advanced equipment at home and abroad, but you have also recruited so many senior talents from prestigious universities; There is still a big gap, for example, the polymer separation membrane technology is several generations behind the international leading technology."
"Foreign countries are still very cautious about the diffusion of the latest technology, especially for enterprises in our country, it is even more difficult to obtain the most advanced technology; we are now developing this technology, and have achieved certain breakthroughs." The manager replied cautiously, he doesn't dare to brag now, if he gets caught, it will be over.
"Well, we have always supported the development of new technologies." Shen Long nodded without saying anything. Then he visited the production workshop and visited the traditional Chinese medicine planting base in the suburbs with them. Shen Long was quite satisfied with his advanced technology, so he beckoned and asked the secretary to bring out a pot of flowers.
"This is for you, it's the exam questions I left. I'll give you three days to study it carefully, and I will report the results after three days." Shen Long said, this is also a test for them.
In the afternoon, I went to visit two other companies. The technical level of these two companies is considered very good in China. Compared with Jishitang, they each have their own focus. Shen Long thought that combining the strengths of these three companies should be able to handle this project. .
Three days later, the general manager of Jishitang Company came to Shen Long to report the results, "After we went back, we looked through many ancient prescriptions and found that this should be the Kunlun golden thread snow lotus recorded in ancient books, which has a very good effect on blood disorders."
They don't just eat rice. There are many senior Chinese medicine experts in the company, and they quickly found out the origin of this plant. This discovery made them very excited. They thought the same as Academician Ma Lin. If they can cultivate and plant it on a large scale , Wouldn't it be possible to develop a new drug with a broad market prospect?
"I have also carefully reviewed your company. It does have certain strengths in new drug development, but there are still shortcomings, so I plan to let you and the three companies of Provincial Pharmaceutical Group and Weili Technology cooperate to develop this new drug. Can you learn from each other's strengths? ! What do you think?" Shen Long asked.
Of course, the general manager wanted to develop this project exclusively by himself, but the samples were provided by Shen Long, who is also the top leader of the government. Now that he has spoken out, he would be too ignorant if he refused, "Provincial Pharmaceutical Group and Weili Technology does have a lot to learn from us, and it would be good for us to work with them."
"I have already asked Xiao Liu to call them, and they will come over in a while. Let's hold a special meeting to discuss this issue. If you want to win this project, you must increase investment and replace a batch of equipment." When the representatives of the other two companies arrived, Shen Long explained this point again.
"As for the problem of funds, you pay some yourself, and I will help you solve some.
Then a new company is established, and the shares are allocated according to the invested funds, equipment, and technology. Shen Long said, "As for the equipment, I have also drawn up a list, you can take a look." "
With Shen Long's current Nobel-level chemical talent, the price/performance ratio of the list of equipment listed out is naturally far higher than the results they figured out by themselves. The three companies are all in admiration after seeing it.
As a result, a new company was established. Jishitang, Weili Technology, and Provincial Pharmaceutical Group all recruited the most capable talents to participate in this plan. Shen Long also attracted a group of high-level talents from other places. They provided ample funds and integrated the power of a province for the development of this new drug.
During this period, he often went to the laboratory for inspections. Every inspection could help solve some important problems and speed up the development progress. This phenomenon made the technical masters of the three companies do not know what to say. You It is said that when you become an official, why is your level of chemistry higher than those of us professionals?
If it weren't for Shen Long's special status, they would have wanted him to stay in the laboratory; not only in the laboratory, but even the traditional Chinese medicine cultivation base in Jishitang had received a lot of guidance from Shen Long. With his help, this The long-extinct species of snow lotus has been bred in batches, and the scale of planting has continued to expand.
It has basically been able to meet the needs of experiments, and if it continues to be cultivated in this way, it can fully meet the needs of pharmaceuticals in the future.
During the cultivation process, Shen Long also discovered an interesting thing. This kind of snow lotus is like the Artemisia annua that produces artemisinin. The content of active ingredients will vary greatly depending on the place of origin. After many searches, they found The most suitable planting place has been established, and a high-level planting and breeding base has been established.
This is an advantage. Even if the patent period of this drug expires, it will be difficult for foreign pharmaceutical companies to imitate it, because they have no way of obtaining the most critical raw materials.
After several years of hard work, the three companies have finally achieved results and developed an effective drug, and the biological mechanism of the molecules that make up the drug has also been determined by experts, and clinical trials can then be carried out.
Under the coordination of Shen Long, the Provincial Cancer Hospital took over the task, successfully completed the first phase of clinical trials, and then cooperated with other hospitals to conduct multiple rounds of clinical trials, which also achieved remarkable results.
Now the country has also established a special approval channel for major innovative drugs and terminally ill drugs. The clinical performance of this new drug is so outstanding that the relevant departments passed the approval as quickly as possible, allowing this new drug to enter the market.
Due to the low cost of development, the listing price of this drug is not only much lower than that of the original Glenin, but even lower than some generic drugs. Even so, it is enough for the new company called by Shen Long to earn a lot of money. profits.
In addition, under the guidance of Shen Long, the technology level of this new company has improved by leaps and bounds. If they are asked to develop various new drugs, the progress will definitely be faster; " and "Poison Classic" copied a copy for them, hoping they can find out more clues for new drug development.
After finishing all this work, Shen Long collected a full set of information on drug development and returned to the real world. With these materials, he could help Academician Ma Lin save a lot of time and energy, and make this drug appear in reality as soon as possible. in the world.
But how to hand over these materials to Academician Ma? It seems a little inappropriate to just take it directly, Shen Long got a headache.
