Chapter 299 The Great Harvest

The same scene is happening all over the world.

Many pharmaceutical companies who have a pile of discarded prescriptions in their hands and want to sell them are all crying.

Even those multinational giants cast curious eyes.

Roche, Bayer, Merck, etc., these pharmaceutical companies will definitely not sell abandoned prescriptions to Sanqing, which in their view is an act of capitalism.

But if other pharmaceutical companies want to sell it, they will not stop it.

They were very pleased with Eisai's behavior of jumping out to bid, and even gloated a little.

They very much hope that those pharmaceutical companies can raise prices and make Sanqing pay more.

At the same time, they also want to analyze this acquisition to see if Sanqing really has any special means to continue to find new research and development directions from discarded prescriptions.

Many pharmaceutical companies in the West also felt a little confused when they saw Sanqing's behavior, and each of them was thoughtful.

Did Sanqing really not buy it?
Or is it just a strategy to keep prices down?

They have all heard of Wei Kang's obsession with discarded prescriptions, and they can see it clearly in this acquisition.

Before, pharmaceutical companies all over the world were thinking about one thing.

How important are these discarded prescriptions to Weikang?
How much is Sanqing willing to pay to get it?
Now, they know the answer.

It seems that Wei Kang is not that interested in discarded prescriptions.

At least, these discarded prescriptions are not as useful as they imagined.

However, the fact that Sanqing stopped the acquisition also made them suddenly discover a problem.

That is, Sanqing doesn't seem to have to buy these abandoned prescriptions.

Although I don't know what Sanqing is doing with these things, it is obvious that it is not too important.

Wei Kang may really just collect these prescriptions out of personal interest.

Just like the quirks of billionaires are always strange, collecting discarded prescriptions is naturally not an incomprehensible behavior, and it doesn't even rank among the quirks.

And since it is a collection behavior, it will definitely consider whether it is worthwhile.

Now that the price of abandoned prescriptions has been raised so high, it is obviously not a good time to buy.

Rich people with brains will only buy low and sell high, instead of raising prices with inexplicable competitors.

After all, abandoned prescriptions are not antiques, they are everywhere, which pharmaceutical company doesn't have them?
This one is not for sale, just buy another one.

If you don't buy it now, you can buy it later.

There is no problem at all.

Therefore, Wei Kang's collection addiction to discarded prescriptions was instantly confirmed.

After figuring this out, those pharmaceutical companies that wanted to sell the prescriptions to withdraw funds all panicked.

If Sanqing does not buy them, their discarded prescriptions will always be waste paper and worthless.

The pharmaceutical industry has developed for so many years, and no pharmaceutical company will acquire such a large number of discarded prescriptions like Sanqing.

Only now did they realize that this was an exclusive business with only one buyer in the world.

As for the sellers, there are thousands of them.

There are thousands of large and small pharmaceutical companies in the Eagle Country alone, not to mention those biotechnology companies that are constantly emerging.

The latter are all rummaging through boxes and cabinets one by one, trying to exchange the abandoned prescriptions that have accumulated dust in the storage room for patent licensing fees.

Some pharmaceutical companies couldn't bear it anymore, and began to contact Sanqing actively, wanting to sell the discarded prescriptions in their hands at a reduced price.

Anmei summarized their selling prices and reported them to Weikang.

Looking at the figures in front of him, Wei Kang raised his brows and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hehe, sell it to me for $500 million?"

"At this time, you still treat me as a victim."

"dream!"

The price of abandoned prescriptions is completely different from that of finished prescriptions. If it is the latter, as long as there is a possibility of subsequent development, the price can be determined after detailed evaluation.

Some powerful and widely used special effects medicines can often be estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars.

However, it is useless to have a prescription alone. Subsequent clinical trials and marketing investment are very important, and huge capital investment is required to create a blockbuster drug.

The developed drugs have good effects, but due to their mediocre prospects, drugs that have been shelved by pharmaceutical companies have been emerging in an endless stream.

If you don't want to develop it, it is also a very wise choice to sell it to other pharmaceutical companies at a high price to quickly recover the cost.

This is especially common for some biotechnology companies, because they do not have the rich resources and experience to carry out follow-up development like multinational pharmaceutical companies.

Generally speaking, they either sell the prescription, or choose to cooperate with big pharmaceutical companies to develop this new drug together and share the huge profits after it goes on the market.

And if it is a semi-finished prescription, that is, the kind of prescription that has only passed the toxicological test and has certain medicinal effects, but the side effects are unknown, and a large number of clinical trials have not yet been conducted, the price is hard to say.

Although there will be a detailed market assessment, different quotations will be given according to different situations, and some can be sold at a high price.

But the buyer also needs to bear certain risks. If the drug's Phase III clinical trial does not work well and the trial is terminated, it will be completely smashed.

As for abandoned prescriptions, there has never been a definite price in the market.

Because no one bought abandoned prescriptions before, even if someone did buy them, they would be considered fools, or considered to have other benefits in exchange.

But after Weikang started a large number of acquisitions, many people saw an opportunity to make a fortune.

They are very clear in their hearts that these discarded prescriptions have undergone all-round evaluation and experiments, and they are really useless, and continuing to develop them is just a waste of money.

No matter how much you invest in the early stage, failure is failure, and you can only admit it.

Being able to sell to Sanqing is their only chance to make money and recover a little loss.

As for the price, it depends on the buyer's bid.

The psychological price of the seller is not important at all.

Because it cannot be sold, it is a pile of waste paper.

Weikang is not in a hurry. Since these pharmaceutical companies have not woken up from the daydream of selling at high prices, let them continue this dream.

Anyway, the bubble will burst sooner or later, and the dream will wake up sooner or later.

It doesn't matter whether he is the one who bursts the bubble.

******
At this time, the most anxious person in the world is probably Mr. Okamoto of Eisai Pharmaceuticals.

Other pharmaceutical companies sell their own prescriptions. Even if they don't sell them, they don't count as a loss, and they store them there temporarily, not to mention adding any cost.

He spent a lot of money to buy hundreds of discarded prescriptions. If they can't be sold, they will all be thrown into his hands.

"No, you have to contact Sanqing, even if it's sold at a low price, you have to sell it all."

Villager Okamoto walked up and down the office, anxious like ants on a hot pot, and after a while, he made up his mind and said through gritted teeth.

"I don't believe it. He is really willing to give up these prescriptions."

However, he contacted several times and was flatly rejected.

Wei Kang didn't want to talk to him at all.

Anmei has always responded very officially, saying that the acquisition is suspended, and if there is any change, it will be notified separately.

Mr. Okamoto's eyes were red, and he went crazy.

He even sent a message to Sanqing through his acquaintance at Pfizer, hoping to have a chance to talk to Wei Kang directly.

Wei Kang was also very surprised when he learned about it, he felt that he had expressed his meaning very clearly, how could this person not be sensible, he clung to him like a brown candy.

But thinking that this is a native of Sakura country, I suddenly feel that this kind of brain-dead behavior is natural again.

From the looks of it, I had to make another phone call and personally persuaded him to leave.

He pondered for a moment, then dialed the other party's phone.

Mr. Okamoto connected the phone, and when he heard Wei Kang's voice, he jumped up excitedly.

With a look of gratitude, before Wei Kang could speak, he said tearfully.

"Mr. Wei, I don't dare to extravagantly ask for a stake in Sanqing's new drug project. I just want to sell you all the prescriptions I have."

"2000 million U.S. dollars, a one-buy price, as long as you promise, all these more than 500 prescriptions will be yours."

"How about it?"

Mr. Okamoto finished these words in one breath, looking at the phone with great anticipation, fidgeting all over.

"I really don't need your prescriptions." Wei Kang flatly rejected his offer.

Villager Okamoto looked desperate, and he grabbed the phone desperately, as if a drowning person grabbed a life-saving straw, begging.

"Is this price still high? I bought it for 1000 million US dollars, 1000 million, [-] million, okay? It really can't be lower."

Wei Kang was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Since you ask that, I'll make you understand."

"You don't understand, rejecting you has nothing to do with the price, this is my attitude."

"Is it expensive to buy hundreds of prescriptions for 1000 million dollars? It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either."

"Maybe you will say that the price can be lowered, but no matter how low your price is, I can't take it."

"If I accept your offer, other pharmaceutical companies will feel that I still need these prescriptions. My previous behavior was just lowering the price. In fact, I can accept a lower price. These prescriptions can also make Sanqing benefit from it."

"That's not the message I want to send."

"You can understand that I'm trying to make an example to others. Only by letting your prescriptions rot in their hands can they really believe that I don't need these prescriptions."

"In this way, other pharmaceutical companies will safely sell the prescriptions in their warehouses to me at a cheap price for scrap products."

"Although I give up one tree here, what I get is the whole forest."

"Do you understand it?"

Hearing Wei Kang's cold words, Mr. Okamoto felt a piercing chill, and couldn't help but tremble all over his body.

He kept banging his upper and lower teeth, but couldn't say a word, he could only watch helplessly as the other party hung up the phone again.

******
A week later, new news came from Sakura Country.

Mr. Okamoto officially resigned and completely disappeared from people's sight.

The CEO of Eisai Pharmaceuticals also has a new face.

At this point, global pharmaceutical companies finally understand that Sanqing really does not need these discarded prescriptions.

Those pharmaceutical companies who are waiting for a price are full of regret. If they knew today, why did they do it in the first place.

After tossing for a long time, it turns out that the prescription in my hand is really waste, not worth much at all, and it would be nice if someone is willing to buy it.

It's not easy to find a big guy like Sanqing, and he should have sold it directly in the first place.

However, Sanqing soon issued a new announcement, indicating that the acquisition is still going on, as long as someone is willing to sell the prescription at a low price, it can be considered.

It's the same acquisition, but the situation is very different.

Since the only price raiser was kicked out, pharmaceutical companies have behaved like quails, and no longer dare to quote high prices indiscriminately.

Some small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies couldn't bear it anymore, so they came directly to their door and sold it in packages.

No matter what price Sanqing offered, they did not counter-offer, and agreed directly, for fear that Sanqing would stop buying again.

Those big pharmaceutical companies secretly wanted to stop them, but they were asked a question in return, and they were instantly speechless.

"I don't sell it, so are you willing to buy it?"

"Since you don't buy it, why are you still talking nonsense here? If Sanqing doesn't want it, will you make up for our losses?"

In this way, Wei Kang quickly acquired hundreds of discarded prescriptions from small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies in the West and Sakura Country.

Including the ones I bought from Pfizer before, there are thousands of them.

And just after Wei Kang thought that the acquisition of the prescription had been successfully concluded, he suddenly received a call from Takeda Kazuhisa.

The well-rounded CEO of Takeda Pharmaceuticals was still so enthusiastic, but what he said surprised Wei Kang.

"Mr. Wei, I heard that Sanqing is buying abandoned prescriptions. The company has obtained more than 500 prescriptions from Eisai Pharmaceuticals a while ago. I immediately remembered you. I came here today to discuss a deal with Sanqing. .”

"As you know, Takeda Pharmaceuticals has been making continuous efforts in the field of rare diseases, and it can be considered to be rewarding. Now that Sanqing's gene editing technology is so powerful, I can't help but yearn deeply. I want to obtain patent authorization and increase my research Research in gene therapy."

"These discarded prescriptions should be regarded as part of the advance payment, and it can also be regarded as an expression of our sincerity."

Wei Kang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Mr. Wutian, you are indeed a wonderful person to do such a sincere thing."

"Since this is the case, I will not be disrespectful. Regarding the patent licensing fee, everything is easy to talk about, and I will definitely give you the biggest discount."

Both sides were smiling, and in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, a preliminary agreement was reached soon.

After hanging up the phone, he let out a long breath, and a surge of joy surged from the bottom of his heart instantly.

sent!Completely sent!
This abandoned prescription is definitely a bumper harvest.
