Chapter 3647
The reason he produced such a type of medicine was not for the sake of earning money. Instead, he wanted to help Apothecary Pharmaceutical open up the markets in various countries.
When Smith heard that, he immediately concluded inwardly. 'The reason why the Apothecary Pharmaceutical can't produce this kind of medicine in mass must be because the levels of their production and workmanship are insufficient. That's why they can't make a breakthrough in production!'
Thinking of that, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Weaver, Mr. Wade, I wonder if you gentlemen have the interest to sell the patent of this medicine to the pharmaceutical companies in the United States?"
When Charlie heard that, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Smith.
For him, he felt that Smith had finally revealed his cunning self.
Hence, he said resolutely, "That's impossible. We'll never sell this patent!"
Smith hastily said, "What if the enterprises in the United States can pay a large sum of buyout fee? For example, ten billion dollars or more?" Charlie still shook his head. "Don't mention about ten billion dollars. Even if it's hundreds of billions or
trillions of billions, we won't sell it."
The reason why Charlie was reluctant to sell it was because it could not be sold at all.
He could give that prescription to anyone at any time, but no one else could produce it.
If the other party could not produce it, how was it possible that they would be willing to pay the buyout fee?
It was not the same case as what had happened when they had tried to fool Kobayashi Pharma back then. After all, Kobayashi Ichiro had come to snatch away the medicine. They had given him a fake medicine, and his father had died from taking that pill. Regardless, he could only suffer in silence.
But now, if they wanted to sell the patent, it would be a patent deal that involved one hundred billion dollars. The entire world would be shocked tremendously at that time, but if the other party realized that they had been fooled after receiving the patent, it would become an international scandal.
Smith still thought that it was purely
narcissism given that the
Apothecary Pharmaceutical was unwilling to sell the patent. Hence, he hurriedly said," Mr. Wade, it was also a revolutionary discovery in the medical field when penicillin was discovered back then. However, v you might not be aware of one thing. It was extremely difficult to produce penicillin back then, so the production of penicillin was unable to be increased. A few major laboratories even tried their best to instill that bit of mold, but it was not enough to treat a person even if they added it together. Hence, it could not serve mankind."
When Smith reached that point, he paused slightly before saying, "But in the subsequent few years, the production techniques of penicillin were continuously improved under the efforts of various pharmaceutical experts, chemical experts, and biological experts.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
They had also achieved the aim of overcapacity step by step from extremely low production, consequently benefiting mankind."
"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but I think that the Apothecary Pharmaceutical is just like the team that discovered penicillin back then. Although you have discovered this medicine, you can't manufacture it in mass production."
"However, the industrial, pharmaceutical and chemical foundations in the United States are among the top in the world. If you can let us research this prescription, we may be able to mass-produce it in a few years!"
"We can then bring benefits to mankind together. Wouldn't that be great?"
Charlie was amused by him, and he laughed cheerfully as he said, "Mr. Smith, I find that you're indeed quite I capable. You're insightful and have great foresight! No wonder people like you can be the person in charge of the FDA! It's very outstanding to b e able to achieve this level!"
Smith thought that Charlie had been moved by his speech. Hence, he smiled and said, "Mr. Wade, you flatter me. It can't be considered great foresight. I just want to try my best to benefit mankind."
Charlie nodded solemnly and said, "Mr. Jameson, this is a kind of medicine for treating cancer. No matter how it'll benefit mankind, it'll only benefit tens of millions of people..."
After he had said that, he changed
his tone and said seriously, "But
since the scientific research
foundation of the United States is so powerful, why aren't you guys researching how to make cheap synthetic oil? If you guys can reduce the manufacturing cost of oil to one dollar per barrel, you can produce five, six, seven, or eight billion barrels a year. That way, you guys would have resolved the global energy crisis. You guys would not have to use various kinds of excuses to send soldiers to the Middle East and bully them too. You would have truly benefited more than seven billion people all around the world then, right?"
When Smith heard this, he became very awkward to the point that he felt ill at ease all over.
He realized one thing. He knew that Charlie was talking bullsh*t. He knew that Charlie was being sarcastic about the statements that he had raised, but he had no way to retort to Charlie.
It was because no matter how he retorted to Charlie, it would seem like he was contradicting the statements that he had raised.
He could not help but sigh emotionally inwardly.' Motherf*cker! You're f*cking mean! You're indeed a capable man of business... I always boast of my glib tongue, but even I am struck speechless by your sarcastic remarks...'
