Capital Hospital.
One Saturday morning, Wang Guiqing walked into the office where he was receiving reports at 8:50 as usual.
His weekly routine is to come here at 9 o'clock on Saturday to listen to reports on the conditions of hospitalized patients.
As soon as I walked into the office, the phone rang.
Wang Guiqing looked at his watch. It was still ten minutes before the reporting time, so he picked up the phone.
"Old Wang," a deep voice came from the phone: "Have you read the new notice from the Food and Drug Administration?"
"Of course I did. You guys did it quite seriously. It was all on the news last night."
"That is, the issue of drug safety is too important now, especially for popular drugs such as antihypertensive drugs, which are used by so many people and have particularly bad effects. They must be dealt with strictly and typical cases must be caught."
Wang Guiqing smiled and praised: "Lao Li, you did a good job this time and dealt with it very resolutely and decisively. You will continue to maintain this intensity in the future."
"If there were not effective domestic drugs that could completely replace them, we would not be so determined." Lao Li said deeply.
Wang Guiqing Fu Zhang agreed: "Indeed, now Sanqing has a rich production line of original drugs and generic drugs, which can replace most of the imported drugs. Sanqing can also cure terminal diseases that cannot be cured by imported drugs. If this continues, It’s true that there’s nothing wrong with imported drugs.”
"By the way," he seemed to remember something: "Sanqing Group's antihypertensive drugs should be selling well now."
"More than that, the word "very good" is not enough to describe it. The word "crazy" should be used.
"What about the other two drugs? Anticoagulants and thrombolytics?"
"They are all selling well. Thanks to this recall of problematic drugs, domestic patients have now lost trust in imported drugs and are no longer resisting domestic drugs when prescribing them. They also prefer Sanqing drugs, only Sanqing does not have them." Only when there are more drugs available will they settle for the next best thing and choose other domestically produced drugs.”
Wang Guiqing was also surprised: "I knew their medicines sold well, but I didn't expect them to sell so well."
"Nowadays, consumers attach great importance to word-of-mouth in everything they buy, not to mention patients seeing a doctor and taking medicine. As long as a medicine is effective, it will definitely spread from one to ten and spread spontaneously, let alone Sanqing." It’s the most searched-for brand every day.”
"Yes!" Wang Guiqing was full of praise, and then asked: "The fourth phase of clinical trials should have started. Have you received any adverse reactions?"
The other person immediately gave an affirmative answer.
"Sanqing has three, no, four cardiovascular and cerebrovascular drugs, and a diuretic was released before. That one is more effective when used in combination with antihypertensive drugs. In short, we have not received any negative comments, and the adverse reactions are Yes, but it is very mild and has no effect on most patients.”
"And, most importantly, there are almost no interactions between drugs and it does not affect patients taking other drugs at all, so this is what we value most. It definitely has the potential to become a trump card drug."
Wang Guiqing nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, I've been giving it to the patients here this week."
"I haven't received any negative feedback yet. In a few minutes, I will hear a report on the condition. I hope it will be good news."
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. Let's talk later."
When he hung up the phone, it was exactly nine o'clock. The staff was already waiting and reported to him immediately.
While listening to the report, Wang Guiqing looked at the documents in his hands and nodded.
He read very carefully, very carefully, and very slowly. He would stay on each page for a long time before slowly turning over it.
Not only do we have to look at the patient's condition, but we also have to compare various values with the previous ones because of the new drugs, so we look at it so slowly.
Fortunately, after working for so long, he knew the conditions of these patients very well and remembered them clearly. Such comparisons were not difficult for him.
After finally listening to the report, his expression became surprised and happy.
"Great. This week, I switched the four Sanqing drugs to the patient. Everyone is doing very well. Some common adverse reactions have disappeared a lot. The patient's physical indicators are also extremely stable, and there are no major problems. The fluctuations indicate that the disease is under very good control.”
The staff's expressions also changed, and they hesitated to speak. It took a while before they couldn't help but speak.
"Several patients are very satisfied with the new medicine. They said they no longer have headaches and nausea, their appetite has improved a lot, and they don't feel any discomfort. They all asked to continue taking it and no longer want to use the old medicine. .”
"Now they are very curious and are asking what kind of medicine is this? Which company's medicine is it? Is it imported or domestically produced?"
Wang Guiqing chuckled: "They can still maintain such a strong curiosity after being hospitalized for so long. Their mental outlook must be very good now."
"Let's go, I want to tell them personally that these new drugs that they praise so much and make them feel good are domestic drugs produced by Sanqing Group."

Outside things have no impact on Wei Kang's work.
He was busy with another thing.
Sanqing’s financial report for last year is out.
Three years have passed since he obtained the system and developed anti-cancer drugs.
It is now the beginning of the fourth year.
The financial year of Sanqing Group has always been synchronized with the domestic one. The financial settlement year is from January to the end of December every year. It does not follow any international practices like so-called international companies and arrange it to the end of March.
Looking at the financial statements in front of him, he couldn't help but feel elated and in high spirits.
"Anti-cancer drugs and Alzheimer's disease drugs are the company's two biggest money-drawing monsters. They have been on the market for more than two years, and their annual revenue has exceeded 10 billion, which adds up to 26 billion US dollars."
"The sudden rise is painkillers. This drug is so popular. This drug alone has sold 3 billion US dollars in sales. This is simply a miraculous growth for a drug that has been on the market for more than a year. speed."
"In time, it will definitely become the world's best-selling analgesic and the third flagship drug of Sanqing."
"Other drugs have made great progress and sales are growing rapidly. Even the growth rate of generic drugs is surprising."
"Unfortunately, the cost of genetic drugs is too high. Although they sell well, the profit margin is not as high as other drugs. Since they mainly focus on rare diseases and sales are average, it seems that we still need to develop more popular genetic drugs and sell them to More patients.”
"Thanks to the global locust plague, pesticides have earned 6 billion US dollars. As for genetic crops, because they have not been rolled out on a large scale, the patent licensing fees have not yet been collected. Let's wait and see this year."
"These three new antihypertensive drugs have just been launched. Although they are selling well domestically, they have not yet reached the payment collection period. The exact amount of revenue will have to be determined after the year."
"Added other miscellaneous income, the total income exceeds 40 billion US dollars!"
Wei Kang's eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Total revenue for the year was US$42 billion!"
"This revenue is definitely in the top ten among global pharmaceutical companies, but I don't know where it ranks. After all, the annual revenue of most multinational pharmaceutical companies has not yet been released, so we can only estimate it from their quarterly reports."
"Mr. Wei, Sanqing Group ranks fifth in the world and first in China with revenue of US$42 billion."
Anmei spoke up at the right time and added the estimated ranking.
Wei Kang's face turned red, and he stood up excitedly, walked to the window, and looked far into the distance. He saw only a blue sky. The sky was clear, and it was as beautiful as his mood.
tomato
He made an estimate in his mind and couldn't help but be secretly amazed at Sanqing's growth rate.
In the second year, the total revenue was only 20 billion, and in the third year it rose to 42 billion.
Revenue doubled directly, jumping from 15th in the world to 5th in the world.
This speed is simply faster than a rocket flying into the sky.
He no longer dares to think about how much revenue there will be this year.
Maybe, more than $50 billion?
Become one of the top three in the world?
It feels like it’s still a bit difficult to challenge Pfizer’s $80 billion.
As long as the product quality is strong, the pharmaceutical industry is indeed a sunrise industry that can guarantee profits despite droughts and floods.
In a short period of time, he had so much wealth.
Wei Kang was not like ordinary young people who felt wanton and arrogant about trampling the world under his feet. Instead, he sighed in his heart and felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.
The money came too fast and was too much.
Among them, there is no shortage of patients’ hard-earned money.
As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Having reached the position of China's number one pharmaceutical company, we are also in the sensitive industry of medicine.
The mission of a company is no longer just about making money.
He had a vague impulse in his heart to do more for this society and make the world a better place.
At the same time, a stronger, instinctive desire also gushes out.
I want to develop more drugs, treat more patients, and make more money.
He has been coveting the world's number one spot for a long time.
