The sales volume reaches 50 million in one day, which is very huge for any drug.
Of course, this can only be regarded as the total sales of a batch, and a batch only happens once.
But even so, all the first batch of drugs were sold in one day, which is considered a miracle in the pharmaceutical sales world.
After all, how many new drugs can get so many orders on the first day they are launched?
However, it is unexpected, but also reasonable.
After all, the reputation is brought about by the clinical trial process. At the beginning, there were many hospitals in China with corresponding qualifications. They hoped to have the clinical trials of RSCA conducted in their hospitals. This is a super anti-thrombotic that Xiehe used. Medicine, and even Dr. Yin Kangping, the top national expert in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular medicine at Union Medical College, praised it highly. How could this be any worse?
The facts in subsequent clinical trials also proved this. This new drug indeed had an effect that shocked them.
…
"Sorry, I really don't have a dollar left. We are already contacting the second batch of OEMs urgently. Sales will start in about two months. Please pay attention to relevant news by then, and we will also notify your hospital. Yes, thank you for your understanding."
"...I'm sorry, our first batch of drugs has indeed been sold out. There is really not a drop left...and there is not a dollar left...The sales of the second batch will start in two months. Please pay attention then..."
In the Shanghai branch of Pengzu Life Technology Company, the employees responsible for the consulting business are constantly answering the phone. The calls from various hospitals across the country have made their work almost non-stop in the past few days. Answer the phone.
There are 37,000 hospitals in the country. Ignoring some of them that are not qualified enough, even if we conservatively estimate that there are 20,000 hospitals that can perform surgeries regularly.
A conservative estimate shows that only 10,000 of these hospitals have demand for anti-thrombotic drugs, and they may receive more calls than imagined.
And, sometimes it’s not just these hospitals.
Some hospitals in Hong Kong and Macao, as well as overseas hospitals, are already concerned about RSCA.
"Sorry...huh? Wait, you are the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital? Sorry, RSCA has not yet obtained the marketing authorization from the Hong Kong Food and Drug Administration, so it cannot be sold to you? Huh? Private transaction? Sorry, we He is a first-class citizen and does not do anything illegal."
Their reception staff also speak Cantonese, so calls from Hong Kong and the city can be answered in Cantonese.
But what surprised the customer service staff was that the hospital in Hong Kong was willing to conduct private transactions.
This means that they trade drugs privately, and then the other party uses them for clinical treatment.
As for the Sanatorium and Hospital, this customer service staff also knew that it was one of the top private hospitals in Hong Kong. The famous gambling king Stanley Ho received treatment here. Andy Lau was also injured after falling from a horse. This is also where I received treatment.
As for how many other Hong Kong wealthy people have received treatment here, although it has not been announced, it is obviously unknown.
Therefore, it is indeed quite normal for the Sanatorium and Hospital to be willing to conduct such private transactions.
But no matter what, this is considered illegal, so it is naturally impossible for the customer service staff to give a definite answer.
Of course, their superiors should also be informed of such an important matter.
So soon, the customer service staff immediately told his immediate superior, who was also the head of their marketing department, the relevant news.
The marketing director also quickly informed their general manager, Kingsley Ware, about the incident.
"Hospitals in these non-mainland areas are already anxious."
Kingsley Weir has no doubts about this. For these private hospitals, the success rate of treatment is obviously very important. After all, it is also related to their reputation, especially when treating rich people. Of course they hope to ensure the success rate of the surgery so that they can attract more customers.
So of course they hope to use RSCA. As for the issue that they may have to pay more for it - of course there is no need to worry about these private hospitals, because the wool comes from the sheep, and the rich will willingly do so. Pay the fees for them.
"It's okay to agree, but it's necessary to explain that we only sell it in mainland China. How they take it abroad for use is their business and we don't care."
"If they call again, this is the response."
"Okay, Mr. Weir."
The director of the marketing department received Kingsley Ware's instructions, nodded, and then left the office.
Kingsley Weir rubbed his chin and thought: "But we can't let these guys earn all the money. We only earn the wholesale price."
Now, he has begun to think skillfully about how to bring greater benefits to the company.
"We still need to ask the boss to contact us as soon as possible to open up the international market as soon as possible."
With such an awesome drug, it would be a shame if they couldn’t make the world’s money.
…
"Well, I understand. I will contact Bayer in a while, but according to my estimation, those companies should also contact you during this period, and we should be able to negotiate some good prices by then."
In Li Mu's office at Oxford University, he said to the phone call from Weir.
Then they hung up the phone.
In China, he has connections, so he can set up his own production line, and can pass various approvals faster without violating procedural justice in terms of clinical procedure approval.
But if there is no relationship abroad, it will obviously not work, so cooperation is the most ideal.
Bayer, which has been in contact with them in the past, can be regarded as the current first choice. Of course, it still depends on the price given by all parties in the future.
During the period when RSCA was listed in China, he had not contacted the big pharmaceutical companies, in order to wait for the results after the listing to increase their bargaining chips.
Now their RSCA sells 50 million in one day. I believe that these pharmaceutical companies will be unable to sit still for a long time.
Before the patent period of about 20 years expires, whichever company reaches cooperation with them first will be able to enjoy the monopoly profits during this period, and they can make money almost lying down.
Even if a thrombolytic drug more powerful than RSCA appears in the future, the market size of RSCA will certainly not be cut off.
What's more, within a few decades, will there really be a thrombolytic drug stronger than RSCA in the world?
The medical community around the world is skeptical.
RSCA simply does not look like a thrombolytic drug of this era. It does not meet the definition of a fourth-generation thrombolytic drug by the medical community. It may be a fifth-generation thrombolytic drug.
Although the medical community has not defined fifth-generation thrombolytic drugs in the past, RSCA has forced the medical community to define them based on their effects.
Otherwise, the original fourth-generation thrombolytic drugs will be compressed into 3.5-generation drugs.
"Let's ignore this matter for now."
Li Mu shook his head, then stopped paying attention and looked at the time. "Well... my laboratory application has been received. Now I can go and check out the laboratory."
About half a month ago, he applied for the school's condensed matter physics laboratory, and after waiting in line for so long, it was finally his turn to use it.
He stood up and left the office. The students from Merton College he met along the way all greeted him and expressed their respect.
This was true before he won the Fields Medal, and it became even more true after he won the Fields Medal.
In this way, he left the college and finally came to the physics laboratory building.
"Hello, Professor Li, I am George Evans, director of the laboratory. Welcome you."
When he first entered the laboratory building, a man recognized him, then greeted him and introduced himself to him.
Li Mu nodded: "Hello, Director Evans."
Evans smiled at him and continued: "Now I will take you to the laboratory first."
Later, under the leadership of Evans, Li Mu came to the door of the laboratory.
"Our condensed matter physics laboratory is one of the most advanced condensed matter laboratories in the UK."
"We all have the necessary experimental equipment, such as this X-ray diffractometer and Raman spectrometer. They can all be used to measure the characterization of material structure."
As Evans spoke, he turned to look at Li Mu, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that the person he was introducing did not seem to need his introduction at all. He couldn't help but coughed twice in embarrassment, and then said: "Oh , I’m sorry, I’m used to it, you should all know Professor Li.”
Li Mu waved his hand with a smile and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. If you are willing to give an oral introduction, I will be happy to listen."
"Haha, I guess it's not necessary anymore."
Evans shook his head, but at this time, he saw another big guy. His eyes lit up, and then he said to Li Mu: "Of course, please let me introduce this thing to you."
"arpes, angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, our angle-resolved photoelectron spectrometer can be regarded as the top arpes in the world. It is worth up to 3 million pounds. It is the third generation technology and the accessories that can be used are all the best." OK, like Hemisphere Analyzer, Manipulator..."
"In the study of condensed matter physics, having a guy like this will definitely bring about great experimental results."
Evans introduced Li Mu to this extremely complicated-looking instrument and its various pipes like a treasure trove, which would definitely make an ordinary person confused.
Li Mu also nodded. This thing will probably be the instrument he will focus on in his subsequent research.
For the research of topological insulating materials and superconducting materials, arpes is an important equipment.
"That's it, Professor Li. If you need anything, just contact me." Evans said, "Oh, by the way, where are the other members of your team?"
Li Mu smiled: "I am the only one in my team now."
Evans was stunned for a moment: "Only...you?"
"Yes." Li Mu waved his hand: "My project doesn't require too many people."
"That's right." Evans nodded, but still asked curiously: "Then...can I take the liberty of asking, what is your topic?"
"That's all that can be studied in condensed matter physics." Li Mu shook his head and did not hide his subject: "What I plan to study is the principle of superconductors."
"Principle of superconductor?" Evans nodded, "I see, then I wish you success."
But at this moment, another voice came from the door of the laboratory: "Professor Li Mu, if you want to study superconductors, why not join my research group?"
Li Mu and Evans were both stunned and turned to look at the door. Then they saw a middle-aged man walking in.
Evans said: "Huh? Professor Wilbur, why are you here?"
"It's not normal for me to come here. I just want to see who takes over my laboratory first."
Professor Wilbur looked at Li Mu and said, "What I didn't expect was that it was Professor Li Mu."
Li Mu turned his head and glanced at this person. He didn't know who Professor Wilbur was. However, he still needed to correct what he said: "Professor Wilbur, I need to explain. No one takes the lead, this is the arrangement of the school laboratory management office. If you have any questions, please contact the laboratory management office, thank you."
After hearing Li Mu's words, Wilbur spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, what I said was wrong."
"However, Mr. Li Mu, with my suggestion just now, maybe you should seriously consider whether to join our team. In this case, our team will not need to find another laboratory."
"I need to reveal to you that what we are going to study is also superconductivity, and it is room temperature superconductivity!"
Wilbur's words were full of confidence.
Li Mu: "...normal temperature superconductor?"
"Yes, it's room temperature superconductivity."
Wilbur nodded vigorously.
Li Mu immediately burst into laughter and said, "I remember that not long ago, the team in South Korea claimed that they had developed room-temperature superconductivity, and you have developed it again?"
"Nonono, Professor Li, don't confuse us with those Koreans." Wilbur waved his hand: "Their research is not detailed enough and does not pay attention to principles. Our research starts from principles. Our team plans to discover Yes, it is the principle of room-temperature superconductivity. As for the development of actual materials, we will start from revealing the principle of room-temperature superconductivity."
"Oh? Is that so?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows.
What is the principle of room temperature superconductivity?
According to the detailed explanation of superconducting material technology in his mind, there is no principle of normal temperature superconductivity, but there are principles of high-temperature superconductivity, low-temperature superconductivity, and the so-called second type of superconductor principle. .
The BCS theory is a low-temperature superconducting theory.
But no matter what, superconductivity is superconductivity, and it can ultimately be explained under a unified theory and framework.
Just like string theory, there were once four different string theories, until they were finally unified by Edward Witten's M-theory.
Therefore, Li Mu completely disagrees with the principle of room-temperature superconductivity that Wilbur mentioned.
In addition, if they really derived the principle of room-temperature superconductivity purely theoretically, then why do they need to use it in the laboratory?
For another example, extremely high pressure can also lead to lower temperature requirements for superconductivity. What explanation should be given to this situation?
Something like a neutron star may be a super huge superconductor.
Therefore, there are only two possibilities. The first is that Wilbur is fooling him, and the second is that Wilbur's team's thinking is wrong.
No matter what, things like the theory of room temperature superconductivity have a kind of "beauty" in civilian science in Li Mu's eyes.
However, Wilbur did not know what Li Mu was thinking, and instead said very confidently: "Professor Li, your mathematical ability is worthy of our invitation to join you. After all, the physical theory of condensed matter does require mathematics. s help."
"This is a result that can easily win the Nobel Prize in Physics - of course, Professor Li, what I know is that you may already be on the candidate list for the Nobel Prize in Physics, but if you can win the Nobel Prize twice, I believe You won’t refuse, right?”
Well, regardless of whether Professor Wilbur's team is wrong in thinking, this guy must be a big liar anyway.
As soon as I came up, I started to draw the pie for the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Therefore, Li Mu declined politely: "Sorry, Professor Wilbur, I am not interested in the theory of room-temperature superconductivity right now. What I want to study is just the field of high-temperature superconductivity."
High temperature in superconductivity refers to the field where superconductivity can be achieved at liquid nitrogen temperature, so the temperature of high-temperature superconductivity is much lower than that of room-temperature superconductivity.
"Besides, I have to prepare for an experiment now, so I'm sorry."
Obviously, he meant to drive people away.
Hearing Li Mu's rejection, Wilbur spread his hands indifferently: "Well, since Professor Li doesn't agree, forget it. I wish your project will succeed."
Li Mu smiled: "Thank you, and I wish your project success."
There was nothing more to say, and both Wilbur and Evans left.
Li Mu was the only one left in the laboratory.
Without further ado, his research began.
The preparation required for his research is very simple, nothing more than various superconducting materials and the experimental equipment in front of him.
The most indispensable materials in the condensed matter laboratory were various superconducting materials, so he didn't even have to buy them himself. These commonly used materials were already prepared in the laboratory.
Therefore, his next work is also very simple.
“Let’s try YBCO first.”
After finding YBCO, Li Mu began his research.
YBCO, yttrium barium copper oxide, is the world's first material that exhibits a superconducting state at a temperature above 77K. It has a very special status for the entire superconducting world.
And Li Mu plans to use this material to bring a new shock to the superconducting world!
