The same scene happens all over the world.
Many pharmaceutical companies that have a pile of discarded prescriptions in their hands and want to sell them at a price are about to cry.
Even those multinational giants cast curious glances.
Roche, Bayer, Merck, etc. These pharmaceutical companies will definitely not sell discarded prescriptions to Sanqing. In their view, this is an act of funding the enemy.
But if other pharmaceutical companies want to sell it, they won’t stop it.
They were very happy to see Eisai jump out to bid, and even gloated a little.
They very much hope that those pharmaceutical companies can raise prices and make Sanqing pay more additional costs.
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 abandoned prescriptions.
Many pharmaceutical companies in the West also felt a little confused when looking at Sanqing's behavior, and they all looked thoughtful.
Do you really not want to buy Sanqing?
Or is retreating in order to advance just a price-lowering strategy?
They have all heard about Wei Kang's obsession with discarded prescriptions, and they can see it clearly in this acquisition.
Previously, pharmaceutical companies around the world were thinking about one thing.
How important are these abandoned prescriptions to Wei Kang?
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 the very least, these abandoned prescriptions were not as useful as they thought.
However, when Sanqing stopped acquisitions, they suddenly discovered a problem.
That is, Sanqing does not seem to have to acquire these abandoned prescriptions.
Although I don't know what Sanqing is doing with these things, it is obvious that it is not something too important.
Wei Kang may really have collected these prescriptions out of personal interest.
Just like the eccentricities of billionaires are always strange, collecting discarded prescriptions is naturally not an incomprehensible behavior, and it is not even ranked among the eccentricities.
And since it is a collection, you will definitely consider whether it is worth it.
Now that the price of discarded prescriptions is so high, it's obviously not a good time to buy.
Smart rich people 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?
If this store doesn't sell it, just buy it from another store.
If you don’t buy it now, you can buy it later.
No problem at all.
As a result, Wei Kang's character collection of discarded prescriptions was instantly confirmed.
After figuring this out, all the pharmaceutical companies that wanted to sell prescriptions to raise funds panicked.
If Sanqing doesn't acquire it, their discarded prescriptions will always be worthless paper.
The pharmaceutical industry has been developing for so many years, but no pharmaceutical company has purchased such a large amount of discarded prescriptions like Sanqing.
Only now do they understand that this is a unique business with only one buyer in the world.
As for sellers, there are thousands of them.
There are thousands of large and small pharmaceutical companies in Guangying Country, not to mention the biotechnology companies that are constantly emerging.
The latter are all rummaging through boxes and cabinets, hoping to exchange the discarded prescriptions gathering dust in the storeroom for patent licensing fees.
Some pharmaceutical companies could no longer bear it any longer and began to proactively contact Sanqing, hoping to sell their discarded prescriptions at a reduced price.
After Anmei summarized their selling prices, they reported them to Wei Kang.
Wei Kang looked at the numbers in front of him, raised his brows, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, sell it to me in a package for five million dollars?"
"At this point, you're still treating me as the wrongdoer."
"dream!"
The price of abandoned prescriptions is completely different from that of finished prescriptions. If it is the latter, as long as there is the possibility of subsequent development, the price can be determined through detailed evaluation.
Some powerful and widely used special medicines can often be valued at hundreds of millions of dollars.
However, just having a prescription is useless. Subsequent clinical trials and marketing investment are very important. Huge amounts of money are required to create a blockbuster drug.
There are an endless number of drugs that have been developed with good efficacy, but are shelved by pharmaceutical companies because of their mediocre prospects.
If you don’t want to develop it, selling it to other pharmaceutical companies at a high price to quickly recoup the cost is also a very wise choice.
This is especially common for some biotechnology companies, because they do not have the rich resources and experience to carry out subsequent development like multinational pharmaceutical companies.
"Gene Era"
Generally speaking, they either sell the prescription or choose to cooperate with big pharmaceutical companies to jointly develop the new drug and share the huge profits after it is launched.
And if it is a semi-finished medicine, that is, a medicine that has only passed toxicological tests and has a certain effect, but has unknown side effects and has not yet undergone a large number of clinical trials, the price is hard to say.
Although there will also 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 trials are not effective and the trials are suspended, it will be a complete loss.
As for discarded prescriptions, there is never a certain price on the market.
Because no one had purchased abandoned prescriptions before. Even if someone did buy them, they would be considered a fool, or considered to have other benefits in exchange.
But after Weikang started making large-scale acquisitions, many people saw opportunities to make a fortune.
They know very well that these abandoned prescriptions have been thoroughly evaluated and tested, but they are of no use. 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 defeat.
Selling to Sanqing is their only chance to make money and recover some losses.
As for the selling price, it depends on the buyer’s bid.
The seller's psychological price is not important at all.
Because it can’t be sold, it’s just a pile of waste paper.
Wei Kang is not in a hurry. Since these pharmaceutical companies have not woken up from the daydream of selling at high prices, let them continue to dream of this dream.
Anyway, the bubble will burst sooner or later, and the sweet 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 are not sold, they do not lose money. They are temporarily stored there without any increase in costs.
He spent a lot of money to buy hundreds of discarded prescriptions. If he couldn't sell them, he would lose them all.
"No, we must contact Sanqing. Even if it is sold at a low price, we must sell everything."
Mr. Okamoto walked around the office, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. After a while, he made up his mind and said through gritted teeth.
"I don't believe it. He is really so willing to give up these prescriptions."
However, he contacted me 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 acquisitions are suspended and will be notified if there are any changes.
Mr. Okamoto's eyes were red and he was going crazy.
He even sent a message to Sanqing through his acquaintances at Pfizer, hoping for a chance to talk directly to Wei Kang.
After Wei Kang learned about it, he was also very surprised. He felt that his meaning had been expressed very clearly. Why didn't this person know the truth? He was as stubborn as a candy.
But considering that this is a Sakura countryman, I suddenly feel that this kind of brainless behavior is natural.
It seemed that I could only call him one more time and persuade him to withdraw in person.
He pondered for a moment and dialed the other party's phone number.
Mr. Okamoto answered the phone and jumped with excitement when he heard Wei Kang's voice.
With a look of tears of gratitude, Wei Kang said with tears before he could speak.
"Mr. Wei, I don't dare to ask for a stake in Sanqing's new drug project. Now I just want to sell you all the prescriptions I have."
"Twenty million U.S. dollars, fixed price. As long as you agree, these more than 500 prescriptions will be yours."
"How about it?"
Murao Okamoto finished these words in one breath and looked at the phone with great anticipation, feeling restless.
"I really don't need these prescriptions from you." Wei Kang flatly rejected his offer.
With a look of despair on his face, Mr. Okamoto clutched the phone tightly, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and begged.
"Is this price still high? I bought it for 100 million US dollars. Ten million, ten million okay? It really can't go any lower."
Wei Kang was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Since you ask that, I'll let you understand."
"You don't understand. Rejecting you has nothing to do with the price. This is my attitude."
"Is it expensive to spend ten million dollars to buy hundreds of prescriptions? 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 think that I still need these prescriptions. My previous behavior was just to lower 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 scare the monkeys. 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 can safely sell the prescriptions in their warehouses to me at a price that is as low as scrap."
"Although I gave up one tree here, what I gained was the entire forest."
"Do you understand it?"
Listening to Wei Kang's cold words, Mr. Okamoto felt a biting chill and couldn't help but tremble all over.
His upper and lower teeth kept clashing, but he 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.
Okamoto Murao officially resigned and completely disappeared from people's sight.
The CEO of Eisai Pharmaceutical also has a new face.
At this point, global pharmaceutical companies have finally understood that Sanqing really does not need these abandoned prescriptions.
Those pharmaceutical companies that are waiting for a price are regretting it. If they had known about this, why did they do it in the first place.
After struggling for a long time, it turned out that the prescription in my hand was really useless and worthless. It would be great if someone was willing to buy it.
It's hard to find a scapegoat like Sanqing. They should have just packed it up and sold it.
However, Sanqing soon issued a new announcement indicating that the acquisition was still continuing and that anyone willing to sell prescriptions at a low price could be considered.
It's still 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 randomly quote high prices.
Some small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies couldn't bear it anymore, so they came directly to them and packaged them for sale.
They didn't counter-offer whatever price Sanqing offered, and directly agreed, for fear that Sanqing would stop purchasing again.
Those big pharmaceutical companies secretly wanted to stop them, but they were asked a question back and were instantly silenced.
"I won't sell it, so are you willing to buy it?"
"Since you don't want to buy it, why are you still talking nonsense here? If Sanqing doesn't want it, will you compensate us for our losses?"
In this way, Wei Kang quickly acquired hundreds of abandoned 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 purchase of the prescription had ended successfully, he suddenly received a call from Takeda Kazuhisa.
The all-around CEO of Takeda Pharmaceutical was still so enthusiastic, but what he said surprised Wei Kang.
"Mr. Wei, I heard that Sanqing is purchasing abandoned prescriptions. The company got about 500 prescriptions from Eisai Pharmaceuticals a while ago. I immediately thought of you. I came here specifically to negotiate with Sanqing. trade."
"As you know, Takeda Pharmaceuticals has been making continuous efforts in the field of rare diseases, and it has achieved some results. Now that Sanqing's gene editing technology is so powerful, I can't help but yearn for it. I want to obtain patent authorization and increase its efforts in the field of rare diseases." Research in gene therapy.”
"These discarded prescriptions can be regarded as part of the advance payment and an expression of our sincerity."
Wei Kang couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Mr. Takeda, you are indeed a wonderful person to do such a sincere thing."
"In this case, I will not be respectful. As for the patent licensing fee, everything is easy to discuss. I will definitely give you the biggest discount."
Both parties were smiling happily, and in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, a preliminary agreement was quickly reached.
After hanging up the phone, he let out a long breath, and a joy instantly surged up from his heart.
Sent! Completely posted!
This time's discarded prescriptions are definitely a bumper harvest.
