Hong Kong Island. Yuanwei Company!
In the general manager's office, Yan Gengdong was leaning on his chair with his eyes closed to relax, but his mind was filled with thoughts.
Just now, he sent away another batch of clients, and this was already the third batch of clients he had met with in the morning!
Since atorvastatin has been recognized in the European and American markets, pharmaceutical representatives from many countries in Southeast Asia, South America and Africa have come to us, wanting to represent this drug.
On the one hand, this drug is very effective, which has been verified in the European and American markets, especially the North American market.
Due to the high welfare and better living conditions there, coupled with the dietary structure, there are many people suffering from hyperlipidemia.
Although it is known that hyperlipidemia is very harmful and even kills many people, there has been no cure for this disease.
However, since atorvastatin entered the North American market, the situation has changed dramatically.
Many patients take this medicine under the advice of their doctors and have achieved extremely significant results.
Most people will experience relief of symptoms within a week after taking the medicine.
No matter how serious the condition is, it can be controlled within one month of medication!
The results are so good that most patients are very satisfied.
On the other hand, Yuanwei Company has a very good reputation in the industry. Perhaps it is limited by the size of the company or because of its different business philosophy. In short, this company is not as arrogant as Johnson & Johnson or Eli Lilly. They pay more attention to win-win situations. .
Whether you purchase a patent license or directly become an agent of Yuanwei Pharmaceutical Company, you can basically make a lot of money.
This can be seen from the pharmaceutical companies from various countries that cooperate with Yuanwei Company!
Especially the ruthless Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals, which earned hundreds of millions of dollars in less than two years just by licensing the patents for two drugs: fluoxetine and atorvastatin.
More importantly, because of the patent authorization and agency rights for these two drugs, Johnson & Johnson's stock price has skyrocketed since last year and has more than doubled now. All the shareholders behind the company have doubled in value.
As these companies make prototypes, pharmaceutical representatives from other countries flock to the company like sharks that have smelled blood.
However, the current Yuanwei Company is no longer the small company they ignored before. In the past year and a half, this company has completed a gorgeous transformation from being unknown to having assets exceeding 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.
In the past, in order to promote the company's drugs, employees of Yuanwei Company had to go to other companies in person to ask for cooperation, which was called a low profile.
But now, these people come to their door, but Yuanwei Company may not necessarily cooperate with them. The qualifications and strength of these companies must be reviewed. Only those who meet Yuanwei Company's requirements can become partners.
The sentence "You ignored me before, but now I am beyond your reach" is vividly interpreted.
Because there are so many companies that want to cooperate with Yuanwei Company, Yan Gengdong is either meeting customers or waiting for customers to come to his door every day, and he is almost crazy busy!
"Ding-deng-deng..."
A rapid knock on the door pulled Yan Gengdong back from his thoughts!
He rubbed his aching eyes, and then said calmly: "Come in!"
As the office door was pushed open, a capable woman in professional attire walked in.
"Mr. Yan, someone from the Hong Kong Governor's Office has just sent you an invitation!"
With that said, the female secretary Yang Huiying placed an exquisitely crafted invitation in front of Yan Gengdong, and then stood next to him with a respectful expression.
Yan Gengdong took the invitation, unfolded it and looked at it, then frowned and said, "Charity auction?"
He is an outsider and he really doesn't understand such a charity party and doesn't know what it is like.
Yang Huiying immediately explained: "This charity auction is a large-scale auction co-sponsored by the Hong Kong Government, Jardine Matheson, and HSBC. Only bosses with assets exceeding 100 million are eligible to be invited!"
"Why did you invite me?"
"Theoretically, I want you to donate!"
"Can't we just donate?" Yan Gengdong frowned.
Although Yuanwei Company's annual profit has reached 300 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to more than 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, the money is not his own, but the country's. He cannot donate the country's money to the British colonists in Hong Kong.
"This... although it is voluntary whether or not to donate money and how much money to donate at the charity auction, but a newcomer like you must be the target of everyone's attention. It would be really bad if you don't donate!"
Then the female secretary said again: "And for charity auctions like this, a large number of media are usually invited together. If you go and don't donate, you might be described by them as the stingiest entrepreneur tomorrow. , which is not good for the company’s image..."
"Is it okay if you don't go?"
"It's not good if you don't go. After all, this is an invitation from the Hong Kong Governor's Office. If you don't go, it will be easy for others to think that you are pro-Chinese-owned groups, and you will inevitably be targeted!" Yang Huiying reminded.
Hearing this, Yan Gengdong couldn't help but frown.
Since the strong rise of Yuanwei Company, they have been favored by the major wealthy families and politicians in Hong Kong Island.
On the one hand, this is because Yuanwei Company is definitely the most promising emerging company in Hong Kong. It holds two drug patents: fluoxetine and atorvastatin. This company will not have to worry about being surpassed by its peers for at least 10 years.
On the other hand, Yan Gengdong, the CEO of Yuanwei Company, currently has an unclear political affiliation and is not close to either the Chinese-owned group or the British-owned group. Therefore, both the Chinese-owned group and the British-owned group now want to win over this upstart.
Therefore, now he is like dancing on an egg, taking every step carefully, lest he take a wrong step.
Seeing Yan Gengdong's appearance, Yang Huiying suddenly said: "Mr. Yan, if you really don't want to donate money, there may be another way!"
"any solution?"
"You can donate something. According to the rules of the charity auction, you can donate money or materials. However, the donated items must be auctioned at the auction, and the money auctioned is counted as the donation of the donor. Money!"
"Is this possible?" Yan Gengdong said in surprise.
"Yes, the governors of Hong Kong over the years have basically donated some of their own paintings or some commemorative things. They rarely spend money directly, but..."
"But what?"
"However, no matter whether the things donated by the Hong Kong Governor are good or bad, others are willing to spend money to buy them, and the prices are often very high. But if the things you donate are average, no one may be willing to spend money to buy them!"
"What will happen if no one buys it?" Yan Gengdong asked.
"Generally speaking, in order to avoid embarrassment, once everyone bids for the donated items, the person donating the items will bid the price themselves or arrange for someone to bid the price!" Yang Huiying replied.
“If you buy your own things, isn’t that a donation from your own pocket?”
"Theoretically, it's yours, but we don't rule out the possibility that the things you donate may be valued by others..."
Yan Gengdong frowned, and then said: "I know about this. You can go out first. I will inform you after I have made a decision!"
"good!"
After the female secretary went out, Yan Gengdong fell into deep thought.
It is absolutely impossible for him to spend the country's money to donate to those ghost guys, but it is not good not to participate in the charity auction now.
Now he is in a dilemma!
After thinking about it again and again, Yan Gengdong decided to report this matter to the country and seek the opinions of the big bosses above.
At that moment, he immediately locked the door of the office and then went to the suite where he rested.
Then, Yan Gengdong took out a small telegraph machine from a hidden secret room and quickly started operating it.
However, as soon as the telegraph machine was turned on, he searched for domestic secret signals and quickly contacted Lu Zhengjun.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Gengdong received an urgent telegram from Lu Zhengjun!
When he translated the message and saw its contents, he suddenly had an idea...
.........
