After hearing Wei Kang's conditions, Pfizer's Dr. Andre's first reaction was that Wei Kang was crazy.
The second reaction was a bit of joy. If the prerequisite for cooperation with Sanqing is to abandon the prescription, then who can compare with the number one pharmaceutical company in the world?
This condition is generally good for multinational giants and extremely beneficial to Pfizer.
Before, he was a little worried that Sanqing would focus on the domestic market and cooperate with domestic large pharmaceutical companies, and the overseas market would just go through the motions and make up for it.
At present, there is great potential for cooperation. We must discuss it carefully with the headquarters to win this cooperation. It is best to sign an exclusive cooperation agreement.
Although Pfizer itself also has strong capabilities in targeted anti-cancer drugs and has several best-selling anti-cancer drugs, there are many types of cancer, and there are many other cancers for which their drugs cannot be targeted.
If we can bring broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs under our command and combine the two, we can use targeted drugs if we can use them, and use broad-spectrum drugs for others. In this way, we will definitely be able to capture as much of the market as possible. share.
They have always been coveting the market occupied by Merck's Keytruda. Unfortunately, only Roche has developed a new broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug, which has posed some threats, but it still cannot shake Keytruda's dominance.
Now, there is an opportunity in front of us, and Pfizer will never give up.
As for Sanqing's option of developing overseas markets on its own, he ignored it without hesitation.
As we all know, in the field of overseas pharmaceuticals, Eagle Country FDA (Food and Drug Administration) certification is the world's highest testing standard. FDA certification will be issued only if the declared product is fully qualified after being monitored at 143 key testing points after human use, with 20,000 to 30,000 people monitored for 3 to 7 years.
Many international manufacturers pursue FDA certification as the highest honor and guarantee of product quality.
FDA certification is also famously strict, especially for pharmaceuticals. Without the help of local companies in Eagle Country, it is very difficult for foreign drugs to obtain certification. Once FDA certification is obtained, other overseas markets will be completely opened. .
Pfizer has strong connections and strength. It is not difficult to obtain FDA certification for drugs imported in its name, which can greatly speed up the overseas marketing process. If certain operations are passed and the government approves it, the entire process can be shortened from 3 to 5 years. It's possible in half a year.
Andre thought about it carefully and felt that he had great advantages. As long as the conditions were not lower than those of other multinational pharmaceutical companies, this cooperation was bound to win.
He immediately felt relieved. Before coming to the dinner, he had already asked his assistant to send all the clinical trial reports to the headquarters. Now he only needed to wait for the reply and then work hard to convince the headquarters.
Other multinational pharmaceutical companies are also very confident and feel that their chances of winning are much higher than those of domestic pharmaceutical companies.
Except for Pfizer and Merck, which have high-level officials coming this time, several other multinational pharmaceutical companies have only sent domestic representatives. They still need to report as soon as possible, and time is still very tight.
"Okay, I've finished all my conditions. Sanqing Pharmaceutical will officially hold a bidding meeting in Kunming in a week."
"If you are interested in cooperation, please come with the most sincere cooperation plan. I very much look forward to your visit again. Thank you all!"
After Wei Kang finished speaking, he no longer mentioned the matter, but showed his hospitality to all the guests as a host.
Everyone exchanged cups and cups, and the host and guest ended the meal happily and then dispersed.
Ten minutes later, Andre was sitting in the car on the way back and dialed a number in Eagle Country.

At the headquarters of Yingguo Johnson & Johnson, the chairman quickly held an impromptu meeting.
"This is a clinical trial data report, covering phases one, two and three. It is very detailed. There is also a video material, which has been translated into English."
"This is a new broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug just announced by an Eastern pharmaceutical company. We will send people there as soon as possible to win the exclusive cooperation agreement for this drug!"
"We will propose the best cooperation plan, and we must not let Pfizer or other companies succeed."

At Bayer, a group of directors were also meeting to review information.
"It's a very miraculous curative effect. If all this is true, then we must get it. In this way, we can create a miracle drug that is comparable to aspirin."
Aspirin is the miracle drug of the century invented by Bayer Company and has always been favored by doctors and patients. It has been used for more than a century and is listed as one of the three classic drugs in the history of medicine along with penicillin and diazepam. It is still the most widely used antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug in the world.
The annual global sales of aspirin reach hundreds of millions of dollars, and the global production of aspirin reaches 50,000 tons. Some people estimate that if they were all made into 500 mg tablets, there would be 100 billion tablets, and the length of the array could reach 1 million kilometers, enough to circle the earth 25 times.
Bayer does not release separate sales figures for aspirin. But the industry estimates that its sales ratio is not low. Especially in the domestic market, the annual sales volume reaches 2 billion yuan, and the market share has remained above 90% for a long time.
Aspirin has become Bayer's best-selling evergreen tree for hundreds of years. No other drug has reached this status so far.
If this drug can be won, with their strong sales capabilities, they hope to create a new industry myth.
"Okay, Dr. Muller, you immediately take a special plane to the far east, this city called Kun, to express our enthusiasm. We have already had people from the Eastern Branch to contact us in advance. We must satisfy this company in terms of conditions. The board gives you full authority.”
At the same time, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS), AbbVie, Sanofi and other top ten pharmaceutical companies in the world, and even more than a dozen pharmaceutical companies, all sent global representatives to rush there. to Kunming.
As for the multinational pharmaceutical companies at the bottom of the rankings, they looked at their competitors and knew that they would have no chance even if they went there. They could not offer conditions comparable to the top ten giants, so they completely gave up the idea of joining in the fun.
In just a few days, Sanqing Pharmaceutical not only gained fame in the domestic pharmaceutical industry, but also gained popularity among its international peers.
The name of Sanqing Pharmaceutical's new broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug is now well known in the global pharmaceutical industry.
All pharmaceutical people are waiting for the Sanqing Bidding Conference to be held in a week's time, which will surely become a grand gathering of elites from the world's top pharmaceutical companies.
Wei Kang is not too aware of the undercurrents in the pharmaceutical industry.
After the press conference, he rushed back to the company with Sun Chengren.
Lao Sun's face was red and he looked beaming with joy.
Wei Kang persuaded with a smile: "Uncle Sun, if you drink so much, don't go back to the company in the afternoon. Take half a day off and go back and have a good rest."
Lao Sun burped, his mouth gushing with alcohol, and nodded: "Okay, I'm so happy today. I got my long-cherished wish, and I will definitely get drunk before I can rest."
"Have you seen Mr. Wu's face? Haha, Mr. Wu and I have known each other for decades, and I finally beat him today. It's so satisfying!"
"And the foreigners are so respectful. If they didn't ask for something, they wouldn't look good on us. Haha."
Lao Sun smiled happily, as if he had completely spit out the resentment he had accumulated for many years from his heart. The expression on his entire face relaxed a lot, and he no longer looked like a sad old man.
"However, Xiaokang, although we have finally recovered, and the bank has agreed to continue lending to us, anti-cancer drugs have not yet been launched, and funds are still not abundant."
He suddenly asked with some concern: "Isn't it a bit wasteful for you to collect discarded prescriptions from everywhere? We can definitely offer other better terms."
