"Let's go for a walk." The negotiation has made substantial progress. Yang Rui got out of the Mercedes-Benz and said to Frankie who was almost out of breath.

Frankie showed a relieved expression, and hurriedly said: "Great, I can't move my legs anymore."

Yang Rui chuckled and said, "Call Arnold."

"Okay." Frankie turned to the gate of the Great Wall Hotel.

Yang Rui turned around and patted Grace, who fell asleep because of boredom, and said, "We're going to walk for a while and continue the previous topic. Do you want to go first?"

"Okay." Grace rolled over and went back to sleep.

After a while, the driver jogged over and sat in the cab.

Yang Ruisai handed him a $2 bill and said with a smile, "Are you drunk?"

"It's okay, I smoked a lot at the beginning, and then I smoked cigarettes, and I didn't dare to inhale my lungs again. The first time I smoked, I didn't want to smoke." The driver smirked twice, took the dollar carefully, and put it in his pocket , noticed Yang Rui's gaze, and smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, the foreign exchange head has to hand over to the public to buy a TV set for his wife."

Every time Yang Rui uses a Zeneca car, he will give a tip, and it is in US dollars. This makes the drivers of Zeneca flock to him. They work in foreign companies and their salary is high, but it is only two to three hundred yuan, and occasionally it can reach 100 yuan. It is rare to see foreign companies also like to give employees RMB, because the cost of exchanging currency is very high, and RMB is more cost-effective for consumption in China.

In contrast, although foreigners who take cars have the habit of tipping, this is not the case when taking company cars, unless there are additional requirements for the driver.

This Mercedes-Benz is one of the two best Zeneca cars in China. It usually carries senior Chinese officials or company executives. Only Yang Rui, who is neither an executive nor a leader, will give a tip, and it is Tipping in US dollars is still difficult to meet in China.

Yang Rui sat and waited for Arnold to come over, posed in a stretched posture in the back seat, and chatted by the way: "Didn't you buy a TV when you got married?"

"I can't get TV tickets. To be honest, I don't have any money. When my brother got married, the family begged my grandpa to tell my grandma to get a handful of industrial coupons, bought two red flags, plus the money to paint the house and buy furniture. It was hollowed out. When I got married, I told my wife that we are the second child in the family. If grandma doesn’t love my uncle or uncle, don’t expect to get three big things. If you are willing to marry, we will be , if you don’t want to marry, I’ll be single. My wife is a nice person, and she’ll be married as soon as she wraps her clothes in her fur skin.” The driver said very proudly. Giving bride price was not popular in those days, at least not in the cities. However, the cost of buying property was not low either. Just inviting a carpenter to make furniture at home would cost a lot of money, and the price of any industrial product are much higher than manual labor.

Yang Rui asked curiously: "The red flag is a bicycle?"

"The Flying Pigeon No. 2 factory is not as good as the Flying Pigeon car, but it is 20 or 30 yuan cheaper, but it is prone to minor faults, like my brother's car, the galvanized paint leather on it came off, and my sister-in-law got the car. I just wrapped a layer of cloth on the beam, but the paint did not come off, and the wheels were bent twice, so nothing happened." The driver put his hands on the steering wheel, looked at the rearview mirror and talked, which was also a posture trained by foreigners. The content is native Chinese content.

"This is a quality problem." Yang Rui said.

"Who says no, otherwise, the money I saved would be enough to buy a domestic TV. I told my wife that this is a big item, and it will last a lifetime. I would rather spend double the money than spend seven or eight years. broken.

It just so happens that I can get some U.S. dollars, and then I can exchange them for foreign exchange certificates. I am going to Tianjin to buy a Toshiba TV with the sailors. "

"Japanese TV?"

"The German ones are better, and I can't afford them. My colleague bought one, and it's very stylish." The driver sighed, then laughed again, and said, "It's better than the domestic ones bought by people in our hospital. His TV If you don’t move, you have to hold the antenna by yourself, even if the young couple want to sit and watch TV together, someone has to stand in front of it and stretch it out, just like standing in school.” The driver seemed to think of this scene and couldn’t help laughing.

"The quality of domestic products is really high." Seeing Franky and Arnold coming, Yang Rui didn't go on talking, but remembered the situation of domestic pharmaceutical factories in his head. When he was studying for a master's degree, he often went to the pharmaceutical factory with his tutor. At that time, he heard old technicians chatting about the "embarrassing things" in domestic pharmaceutical factories around the 1990s, such as the most common preparation process. Due to many manual operations, mechanization or The semi-mechanized equipment is unskilled, and the errors in the weight and content of the tablets produced are very large, and there is a serious gap of more than 1%.

The error of % is actually not considered an error. Assuming that the active ingredient content of a medicine weighing 5 grams is milligrams, the weight error of % means that its actual weight may be 6 grams, and the average active ingredient content per gram may be It is 12 mg, so the actual active ingredient in one tablet may be 72 mg. In this way, it may be 44% higher than the actual dosage. On the other hand, if it is reduced, the actual active ingredient in one tablet may be at least 32 mg. It is not enough to say that eating dead people is not enough, but the difficulty of curing diseases has obviously been greatly increased.

The driver also saw Franky and Arnold, got out of the car quickly, walked around from the back of the car, and opened the rear door for Yang Rui.

Yang Rui bowed his head and got out of the car, shook hands with Franky and Arnold respectively, and told the driver to send Grace safely, and translated his words to them by the way.

Arnold glanced at Grace who was sleeping soundly in the back seat, and said with a smile: "I really envy Miss Grace, I often have to take sleeping pills to fall asleep."

"Grace abides by her beliefs and is straightforward with others, so she can sleep peacefully." Yang Rui smiled and blinked to avoid the topic from being too aggressive.

Arnold laughed loudly and said, "Yang Rui, I'm also very straightforward with you."

"I believe Frankie is a straightforward person. You are just an Englishman, polite and gentlemanly, but not straightforward." Yang Rui made no secret of his views on the two of them. He really didn't like talking to Arnold, but preferred to talk to Fran It is believed that Zeneca will also notice this.

"I'm very disappointed that I didn't show you my best side, but I'm indeed an Englishman." Arnold laughed again, and then said to the driver: "Please take our British beauty, Miss Grace, to safety. to the destination."

Yang Rui translated this sentence to the driver and took out his wallet.

"Please allow me to tip." Arnold quickly took out a pound to the driver and said, "Thank you."

The driver works in Zeneca, so he has been exposed to the British Pound and knows that it is worth more than the U.S. dollar. He was very surprised to see the "" on it.

Yang Rui smiled to the driver: "It seems Nightingale is gentler than Jefferson."

The portrait on the back of the pound is Nightingale, and the portrait on the front of the 2 dollar is Jefferson, so there is this saying.

The driver was shy and excited, wishing someone could sleep in his car every day.

Frankie understood Nightingale and Jefferson in Chinese, and said with a smile: "Nightingale will be very happy if he knows that there is a genius scientist like Yang Rui who doesn't care about personal interests."

"There is no one who does not care about personal interests." Even if it is a compliment, Yang Rui does not take this issue.

"If it is for personal gain, I believe that no one, at least no one at this time, will spend time and energy, especially a large amount of research funding, on the risk of developing a drug for thalassemia. You know, countries for rare disease drugs Come on, I have to learn from the Soviet Union." Arnold's tone at this time was sincere. It is impossible to judge what a person thinks or say, but his behavior will reveal what he thinks. As Arnold said, in 1984, scientists who prescribe drugs for rare diseases are very rare. Although the rare disease bill has been introduced, it does not mean that rare disease drugs will become profitable immediately. On the contrary, the introduction of the bill is just because the problem of rare diseases is more serious, and the profit prospects of rare disease drugs are more bleak. It has forced some countries and institutions to consider the means of state-owned enterprise investment and even administrative orders.

Of course, as long as drugs for rare diseases can be marketed, they can still be profitable. The only problem is that prescribing any drug is high-risk because the profit is too low. The high-risk threshold makes it necessary to have an extremely high profit to be able to prescribe new drugs. . Especially pure original medicine!

Yang Rui did a job where the risk was out of proportion to the profit. In fact, as the developer of the original drug, he assumed most of the risk. Since the animal experiment passed, the prospect of this drug has become brighter. Although deferiprone may not become a blockbuster drug, its risks and profits have returned to normal at the stage of clinical trials, and even because of the extremely high score of clinical candidate drugs, its risk is lower than that of ordinary original drugs. On the contrary, the profit is equal, so it becomes profitable.

Pharmaceutical companies, like insurance companies, are inherently playing the math game.

From the perspective of personal interests, Arnold cannot understand Yang Rui, which is why he has always been outside of direct negotiations. He didn't know how to negotiate with Yang Rui like this.

Yang Rui just said a few words indifferently and modestly.

Compared with Arnold, he found Grace's way of admiration more interesting.

"It's not only deferiprone, but also coenzyme and its catalyst that have spent time, energy, and a lot of research funding." Yang Rui brought the topic back, saying: "By this time, their prices should be enough to pay us The time, energy and research funds spent, otherwise, the laboratory cannot continue to operate."

"I can understand." Arnold smiled, then raised his head suddenly and said, "The clouds in Beijing are very beautiful."

Yang Rui turned his head and saw that the west was already a scene of burning clouds. The half-red and half-yellow clouds covered the sky above the buildings. It seemed that there was a sense of crisis when soldiers were approaching the city, and a sense of leisure with strong tea in the afternoon.

"Let's go to an open place to have a look, um, let's have another meal by the way, how about stewing?" Yang Rui offered the invitation.

"The stew is very good." Franky raised his thumb.

The three of them walked side by side, aimlessly heading towards the direction of Huoshaoyun.

As usual, they chatted for a while, and when the three of them sat on the chairs outside a stew shop, Yang Rui made a surprise attack: "I hope to introduce a batch of advanced pharmaceutical machinery and equipment, and I want a complete set of products. It is second-hand, but the quality is better. In terms of price, I can give some concessions. The total price is less than 10,000 US dollars, plus the payment of 10,000 US dollars in cash, and 2% of the sales, we have reached a deal. For example, glass-lined reaction Cans, Hanjiang Pharmaceutical Factory introduced a batch of liter and liter products made by Dietrich in France. If I remember correctly, the import price of the liter set is 68,000 US dollars, and the three liter sets are about 6 You give me two sets of second-hand goods in liters, as long as the full volume of the tank is guaranteed to be more than liters, the volume of the jacket is more than liters, and the power of the motor is about 7 kilowatts, I will take it for 50,000 dollars.”

Arnold listened to the first half of Yang Rui's words and was ready to refute, but when he heard the second half of his words, his eyes were already blank.

It's true that he works in a pharmaceutical company, but how could he know the specific specifications of a specific device, let alone the price.

However, Yang Rui came prepared. He had come into contact with quite a lot of pharmaceutical factory design drawings before. After a little research, he could come up with a good configuration. When the ambush started, he talked eloquently: "The matching of the glass-lined reaction tank If so, I would just need a graphite condenser, a glass scrubber, a rising frit tube and the corresponding flow system."

Arnold capitalized "what" all over his face!

"The mill and the sieving unit cost kilograms per hour and kilograms per hour respectively. In my impression, the No. 3 Shanghai Pharmaceutical Factory bought one set from Polman, Belgium. 14,900 US dollars, all using a 16-kilowatt motor, one turn, one turn, I still get 30% off second-hand goods of the same level, the mill is worth $40,000, and the screening machine is $10,000." Yang Rui took it out of his pocket. He took out a piece of paper, wrote down what he wanted, and said: "I bought a set of second-hand equipment at a discount of 30%, which is half the price for Zeneca. You actually only spent 10,000 yuan for equipment worth 10,000 yuan. The cash payment of tens of thousands of dollars and 2% of the sales share is actually more than 20 million dollars in total, which is enough for you to pay Zeneca."

"I have to think about it." Arnold was a little moved.

"I'll give you one hour, don't wait until it's over." When Yang Rui first came into contact with Arnold, that's how the latter offered the price.

Arnold smiled bitterly, nodded and went to make a call.

Frankie breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his work was very effective, and sighed: "The key to the problem lies in the equipment."

"And deferiprone." Yang Rui got up and said, "I'll make a call too."

"You're going to talk about deferiprone authorization? Now?"

"We'll talk anyway."

"Where are we talking?"

"Just here, the word Wang is quite impressive." Yang Rui pointed to the second word on the signboard of "Lao Wang Braised Cooking Shop".

Franky didn't expect Yang Rui to have such a trick. Thinking of a group of Japanese and Nordic people surrounding this oil-stained stew shop, he couldn't help calling "I'm sorry" to Arnold secretly. Gentleman, in this kind of place, I'm afraid I can't even think about it.
