A doctor who travels through two eras
Chapter 398 The Ugliness of Foreign Capital
It’s not that Vice President Ji is a villain and sings a different tune from Lin Sanqi. It’s just that his thinking is limited.
First of all, you can’t do business as an individual, right?
If you set up your own company and become a private boss, and then also work as the vice president of a public institution, it is completely confusing.
China in 1961 did not allow such powerful red-top businessmen to exist.
Then according to this logic, Lin Sophora flavescens, Lin Gancao, Lin Eucommia ulmoides, and Lin Panax notoginseng, father and son, are all employees of the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Even if it is your Lin family's secret recipe, but you were still an employee of the Chinese medicine hospital when you were developing it, you cannot talk about personal interests, everything must belong to the collective.
If you take the invention patent privately and then trade it with the country to get the money, it is worth being shot eight hundred times for this behavior.
Lin Sanqi is now the vice president and deputy secretary who enjoys the treatment of a full director. His position is above Ji Qingju. Vice President Ji's rebuttal is actually a kind reminder.
Lin Sanqi motioned for everyone to sit down, and then told them his plan.
"Uncle Shen, Uncle Ji, let's not talk about this as public officials now, let's talk about my plan in private, and see if I'm right."
After they sat down, Lin Sanqi looked at the four department heads, Bi Xinglong, Cai Chunhua, Yang Guang, and Fu Jinsheng, and gestured:
"You also sit down and listen to my plan. This is related to the national interest as well as our personal interests. Wife, you also sit down."
"I think that the invention of tuberculosis medicine is a great honor for the country and for us personally, the kind that can be recorded in history. At the same time, it also contains huge economic benefits.
In our country alone, there are 10 to 20 million tuberculosis patients. If we look at it from a global perspective, there are hundreds of millions of tuberculosis patients. Even if only half of them can afford medicine, how huge will the market for tuberculosis medicine be? Have you ever thought about it?"
Everyone in the room was silent. The four department heads must have understood, after all, they had studied abroad and had experienced the capital market.
President Shen, Vice President Ji, and Pan Ye first thought about my country's medical and health care industry, but hardly thought about making money, even though Lin Sanqi repeatedly emphasized that drugs could be exchanged for food.
Seeing that the leaders all looked confused, Lin Sanqi patiently continued to explain:
"So, from an economic perspective, the global market for tuberculosis drugs is worth at least tens of billions of dollars every year. If you think about it, our country's foreign exchange reserves are only more than 40 million, and you can see how valuable this drug is.
But success is worth money, and failure is worth money too. Once such a valuable drug is launched, it will be immediately targeted by international capital. They will definitely try every means to obtain the patent for this drug and earn a lot of money for themselves. "
Vice President Ji didn’t understand:
"If this drug is worth tens of billions of dollars, then the patent should be in the hands of the country. Otherwise, if you go against the whole world alone, how can you stop it with your weak arms and legs?"
Lin Sanqi sighed:
“That’s where the problem lies.
If the patent is in the hands of the state, then the developed Western countries will just act like hooligans. They will steal our drugs and reverse engineer them. This process is very simple, and they can ignore the patent and produce it themselves.”
At this time, Yang Guang, director of the third ward, raised his hand:
"President Lin, aren't Western countries the most contract-oriented? If the patent is in our hands, how dare they copy it without our authorization? If we bring a lawsuit, they will definitely lose and face a huge fine."
Lin Sanqi smiled bitterly and said:
"Even if we sue them, the judges from Western countries will stand high above us and ask, 'Who are you and why are you suing me?' How are you going to deal with it then?"
"This……"
“Western countries are dominated by capital. Whoever has more money has the right to speak. Their so-called free choice and patent protection are all established between a few financial groups or a few Western countries.
We are now in a hostile relationship with them and have not even established formal diplomatic relations. Do you think the judges in their country will be biased towards their boss behind the scenes, or help our hostile country?
So they will definitely refuse to recognize your patent for a thousand reasons, and then write their own names as the inventor of the patent, produce it, sell it, and make a lot of money. In turn, they will sue us for plagiarism in front of the world's media.
Oh, yes, foreign media are also controlled by capitalists, which means that they own the judges, the TV stations, newspapers, and pharmaceutical factories. They are a one-stop service, so what can we do to fight them?" Yang Guang was stunned. He was just an international student who focused on studying at school and had never paid attention to the nature of Western countries.
"This, this is too rascal, isn't it? We know that a gentleman should earn money in a proper way, but they are just robbing directly."
Bi Xinglong sneered a few times: "They didn't rob enough? Have you forgotten the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Treaty of Nanjing, and the Shanghai Concession decades ago?"
Dean Shen knew Lin Sanqi's plan, so he didn't comment.
Vice President Ji understood and asked:
"You mean, the drug patents invented by our country are not recognized by foreign countries, and they will directly counterfeit our drug patents and sell them directly on the market. Then we will not only get no fame, but also no profit. Is this what you understand?"
Lin Sanqi thought, let alone 1961, even decades later, European and American countries would do the same.
You want to sue? Go ahead.
When you sue someone in China, no one is bothered to pay attention to you, and they don’t even respond to the lawsuit, leaving you to perform a one-man show.
It would be even better if you want to go abroad to sue them. They are at home and you are away. How can you fight?
Even if you insist on fighting the lawsuit to the end, the other party can still use their strong financial resources to drain you.
The federal courts, local courts, circuit courts, the Supreme Court, the court of appeals, etc. will fight you one level at a time.
This lawsuit will take several years, and the appeal costs and attorney fees will add up to tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Can you afford it?
Even if you can afford to wait, the judge and the government are your people. Even if you lose the lawsuit, they still have the administrative power to interfere with you. The government can issue a ban, and either you sell it or you can't. What can you do?
If they are really pushed to the limit, they will stop you on the road and say you are speeding. Then after a burst of gunfire, they will say you are resisting and are shot dead on the spot. They don't even need to ask the underworld to intervene, the police can handle everything.
After listening to Lin Sanqi's talk about the nature of developed Western countries, everyone in the room looked horrified.
Pan Ye was anxious: "Then we invented this medicine, not only did we not gain any credit, but it also put our lives in danger? Then why did we invent it?"
Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "We can ignore what's going on abroad and just play with our own country."
Pan Ye was not convinced again: "Why should foreigners take away the medicine invented by our Lin family for free and make money?"
Dean Shen laughed and joked, "Oh, it's only been a few days since we got married, and already our Lin family is in such and such a situation?"
Pan Ye blushed and murmured softly, "Now I am Lin Pan."
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, women of this era are really good, they have perfectly inherited the fine traditions, unlike the rise of feminism a few decades later, with so many women supporting their brothers.
Vice President Ji thought for a long time and felt that this was indeed a troublesome matter:
"Xiao Qi, if the patent is useless if it is handed over to the state, then can you definitely keep it if it is handed over to you personally?"
Everyone nodded slightly. Think about it, if they can’t even protect such a big country, how can you, a young man with no money, no power and no influence, protect it?
Even if there is a smuggling group behind you, it is something that cannot be made public. How can you directly confront foreign capital or even foreign governments?
Seeing that he had almost finished guiding her, Lin Sanqi expressed his intentions:
"I plan to cooperate with the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China under the name of Xiangjiang Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company. Xiangjiang Company will provide patents, funds, and anti-tuberculosis drugs.
Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine provided patients and facilities, and the two parties conducted clinical cooperation to complete the Phase IV clinical trial of the drug.
On the other hand, Lingnantang Xiangjiang Company transferred the patent to China for free, without charging any money, and all scientific research results and papers were shared by both parties. "
Although Dean Shen knew the plan, he still had doubts in his mind.
"Xiao Qi, you also said that the Hong Kong Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company is a shell company of yours. It's empty. A small Chinese medicine clinic has no political or business connections. How can you guarantee that Lingnantang can keep the drug patent?"
Lin Sanqi thought that he would produce more and more drugs and patents in the future, so Lingnan Hall must be preserved. (End of this chapter)
