Chapter 157 sAC male contraceptive pill plus version! (Subscribe)

The voices of a few gold diggers did not cause much waves on the overseas Internet.

On the contrary, amid the cheers of many overseas men, Tsingshan Pharmaceutical's sAC male contraceptive started its Phase III clinical trial at an unimaginable speed.

And this is just the beginning. The advertising effect of top hip-hop star Duke promoting the "sAC male contraceptive pill" on Twitter continues to spread.

The entertainment industry paparazzi, sidelines, tabloids, and various self-media began to reprint the article, and soon,
The anecdote of Duke using male contraceptives to tease a gold digger completely replaced hot sauce as the most popular hot meme on the Internet, and it was the talk of the town.

Under the huge popularity, more and more foreign men have noticed Qingshan Pharmaceutical's "sAC male contraceptive". Countless men have told each other about it, cried with joy, and lamented that their wallets have finally been saved.

The reason for this is actually closely related to cultural differences.

According to the latest U.S. census data, the proportion of illegitimate children born out of wedlock in the United States is as high as 40.5%, and the proportion of illegitimate children born out of wedlock among African Americans is as high as 72%!

On the one hand, this is related to the more open concept of human nature in the West.

On the other hand, it is also due to the United States' marriage and support laws that tend to protect women.

Normally, in China, if an unmarried woman becomes pregnant before marriage, the couple will either get married with the baby or terminate the pregnancy by giving the woman a breakup fee and some compensation for mental damages.

But in the United States,

Because they can get high child support, as long as the man's financial conditions are slightly better, most women would rather give birth to the child and then ask the biological father for child support!

You should know that the child support in the United States is not hundreds or thousands of yuan a month like in China, but 15%-30% of the monthly income.

And payments need to continue until the child reaches the age of 21.

Therefore,
In the United States, illegitimate children are not just rumors. On the contrary, many women are very keen on doing paternity tests.

As long as the child's father is identified, you can get a considerable amount of money from the child's biological father every month!

It is precisely because of this social phenomenon that American television even specially launched a variety show about paternity testing - the Morrie Show.

In the show, a female mother will invite one or more of her ex-boyfriends or ex-husbands to participate in the show. The male guests who are invited to participate are full of resistance and all deny that the child is theirs.

When the host reads out the paternity test result: "You are not the father of the child", the male guest who has kept the wallet will have a green light on his head and dance happily on the spot.

When the host reads out "You are the father of the child":
Most of the male guests broke down on the spot, covering their faces and crying.

Only the female guest was left, who instantly transformed into the queen of the nightclub. She was ecstatic about finding a long-term meal ticket and showed off her dancing skills on the spot.

This is also a true picture of American society.

So when Qingshan Pharmaceutical's "sAC male contraceptive" clinical phase III trial quickly completed recruitment, many men who were late to the party even called Novartis, which applied for the clinical trial.
We strongly request to increase the number of places for Phase III clinical trials, or to launch the product as soon as possible!

They desperately need this male contraceptive pill.

A large number of calls came into Novartis headquarters. Where had Novartis seen so many strong demands to buy drugs? This matter was quickly fed back to Friedman's desk.

Friedman frowned.

He and Novartis did not attach much importance to Tsingshan Pharmaceutical's "sAC male contraceptive". Firstly, the contraceptive market was too small, with a total scale of only a few billion US dollars.

Secondly, Novartis’ main sales channels are different from those of male contraceptives and it does not have channel advantages.

but,

When he saw the large number of comments under Novartis' official Twitter account and the constant calls to the headquarters, he realized that this "sAC male contraceptive" was different.

To be precise, he saw the madness of men and their needs.

You know, there are not many products in this world that men are willing to pay for!
In addition, among the numerous comments, he also keenly noticed another business opportunity with unlimited possibilities, which is——

Add other ingredients to the basic functions of this male contraceptive, such as delaying ejaculation and increasing hardness!

You should know that the market size of contraceptives is indeed not large, but male products, such as the blue pill "Sildenafen" (Viagra), have annual sales in North America exceeding 20 billion US dollars, and the overall market has exceeded billion!
It’s not that Novartis does not want to enter the field of “male ED (male dysfunction) drugs”, but this field has been firmly occupied by Pfizer’s “Avancor”, and Novartis has no way to compete!
And now!
Qingshan Pharmaceutical's "sAC male contraceptive" can be said to be the world's only male contraceptive, and is very popular among men.
If we could add some "sildenafen" ingredients to achieve the functions of delaying ejaculation and increasing hardness while achieving contraception, it would definitely be a hit!
Friedman suddenly became excited, as if he had seen an amazing business opportunity!

"Quick, bring me the detailed information on Qingshan Pharmaceutical's 'sAC male contraceptive pill'. I want to take a closer look."

The assistant quickly placed all the information about the "sAC male contraceptive pill" on Friedman's desk, and for the first time he began to look at this male contraceptive pill very seriously.

"To achieve 99% contraceptive effectiveness, you need to take it at least 48 hours in advance... that's too long, it would be better to increase it to two hours before it loses its activity!"

"Because sAC inhibitor tastes slightly sweet... this one is pretty good, no need to modify it."

"..."

After a while, several good business expansion ideas appeared in his mind.

That afternoon, Friedman, who had sorted out all his ideas, found President Green again and convened another high-level meeting.

In the conference room, President Green and several vice presidents were somewhat dissatisfied.

"Friedman, haven't we discussed the matter of Qingshan Pharmaceutical's AC male contraceptive pill before?"

"The market for contraceptives is not huge, and our main sales channels are not for male medicines like contraceptives..."

As soon as they sat down, Klein, who had always had a bad relationship with Friedman, spoke first with dissatisfaction.

Friedman snorted lightly, looking at everyone with confidence:

"Yes, we did reach a consensus on this 'sAC male contraceptive pill' before."

"However, this drug has been very popular on our domestic Internet recently. I believe everyone has seen the news."

"Friedman, are you talking about Duke promoting the birth control pill on Twitter? I admit that Duke did bring some heat, but this heat will dissipate quickly and he will not have any impact on the prospects of this drug."

Klein retorted again, and Friedman shrugged and said disdainfully:

"I thought the same as you before, Klein."

"But when I saw that there were constant messages from male users on Twitter and even phone calls to our official account, I saw the abundant purchasing power of men ready to move!"

"So what? The market is only so big!"

"But what if we add some drugs to improve male function to this male contraceptive? For example, what about the drug ingredient 'sildenafen'? Will the market size be just as big as the contraceptive pill?"

After he finished speaking, Klein, who had always been against Friedman, was suddenly stunned.

Not only him, but also President Green and several other vice presidents were slightly stunned.

But soon, everyone seemed to understand Friedman's business ideas instantly.

"Friedman, are you talking about adding some functions to this 'sAC male contraceptive pill'? To expand the consumer range?"

"That's right!"

Seeing that everyone was shocked by his idea, Friedman smiled proudly and looked at President Green:

"My idea is that the 'sAC male contraceptive' currently undergoing clinical trials can be used as a basic male contraceptive, which is mainly for male patients who need long-term contraception."

"And on this basis, we can upgrade and launch a PLUS version, which is what I just said, not only can it achieve male contraception, but it can also increase the duration and hardness!"

"Of course, we don't need a drug that works very quickly like Viagra, which can last for four or five hours after taking it... To be honest, it's not fun to take too long."

"We only need to add the right amount of 'sildenafil'. It can increase the hardness and duration by 30%, which is already very good! You know, most of our contraceptives are aimed at ordinary men, so this strength is just right!"

The senior executives smiled knowingly. In the United States, taking ED drugs to prolong sexual intercourse is very common.

Friedman's ideas clearly aroused interest.

After a moment, another vice president spoke up:

“Will it be technically successful?”

"no problem."

Friedman was confident.

"The patent for 'Sildenafil' developed by Pfizer expired as early as 2013. Our R&D center has successfully imitated their 'Sildenafil' before, but the sales were not good after it was put on the market. Before I came here, I asked Dr. Ryan from the R&D department, and he told me that if I only need to increase the hardness and time by 30%, I can try to reduce the drug dissolution rate and make its efficacy last for 72 hours."

"That is to say, the hardness and duration will increase by 72% within 30 hours after taking it. I think that's enough!"

At this point, Friedman paused deliberately and a smile appeared on his face.

“I don’t even think we need to worry about that.”

"Isn't the R&D capability of our partner Qingshan Pharmaceutical very strong? We can even give them the information of our generic 'Sildenafil' so that they can continue to optimize it."

"this is a good idea!"

This time even President Green couldn't help but nod his head slightly. He also realized that male contraceptives + delayed ejaculation and hardening are a brand new track for men!
Friedman's thoughts were not over yet. After hearing President Green's praise, he continued with even more pride:
"In addition to launching the Plus model, we can also launch the 'Gold Emergency Model'!"

"'Gold emergency funds'?"

"Yes, as we all know, female contraceptive pills are divided into short-acting contraceptive pills and emergency contraceptive pills."

"The basic version of the current 'sAC male contraceptive pill' needs to be taken for 48 hours to achieve the standard contraceptive effect, which is obviously not enough to meet some emergency situations!"

"So I'm going to propose to Qingshan Pharmaceutical that the drug's efficacy be increased and shortened, so that it only takes one hour to take effect."

"Everyone, think about it, if you suddenly make an appointment with a beautiful woman to sleep with you and urgently need to control yourself, what will you do? Will you not buy it?"

"No! All men will pay without hesitation, including me!"

"So, I even thought of the price. It's $100 per piece. You can buy it if you want!"

An emergency male contraceptive pill for $100 per pill!

After he finished speaking, the five senior executives present couldn't help but think about it themselves, and unsurprisingly, their choice was to pay.

After a moment, the men looked at each other, obviously impressed by the business prospects described by Friedman.

"Friedman, I think your idea is great, and I totally agree with re-emphasis on the 'sAC male contraceptive pill'!"

"I agree. Just like you said, we can even donate the information we have about 'Sildenafil' to Qingshan Pharmaceutical for free to help them develop 'Sildenafil' and add it to contraceptives!"

"That's right, Friedman, please contact Qingshan Pharmaceutical immediately. We need to sign a new agency agreement with them immediately."

"Okay, Mr. President."

Friedman was all smiles.

……

Three days later, Zhang Yang was startled to see Friedman suddenly appear in his office.

He was even more surprised when he heard Friedman's proposal to be the exclusive agent for the sales of "sAC male contraceptive" in the United States.

He knew that Novartis was not actually interested in the "sAC male contraceptive pill."

"Friedman, weren't you not too keen on the 'sAC male contraceptive pill'? Why are you suddenly so eager to become an agent?"

Friedman and Zhang Yang are old acquaintances, and the next idea still needs to be completed step by step by Qingshan Pharmaceutical.

Without beating around the bush, he directly informed Zhang Yang of the ideas that had been raised at the high-level meeting a few days ago.

When Zhang Yang heard that Friedman was going to upgrade the "sAC male contraceptive pill" and launch the Plus version and the Gold emergency contraceptive version, he was stunned.

for a long time.

"Friedman, you are a fucking business genius!"

"You really brought all the marketing strategies of electronic products into the medical field. That's amazing!"

Zhang Yang then called Wei Tian from the R&D center and the head of the first project team to discuss the feasibility of Friedman's proposal.

An hour later, a derivative version based on the "sAC male contraceptive pill" was finalized.

The basic version of "sAC male contraceptive" is a short-acting contraceptive that takes effect 48 hours after taking it. One pill is taken per week with no side effects.

The PLUS version of the "sAC male contraceptive" takes effect within 24 hours after taking it. It not only achieves effective contraception, but also prolongs the duration by 72% and increases the hardness by 30% within 30 hours after taking the medicine. It has no side effects and can be used in combination with basic contraceptives.

The gold emergency version of "sAC male contraceptive pill" takes effect within 1 hour after taking it, has no side effects, and is effective for up to one week. It also increases the duration and hardness by 30%, and the delayed effect is 24 hours.

The two derived products were quickly approved by the first R&D project team, and Zhang Yang immediately signed an exclusive US agency agreement with Novartis for the "sAC male contraceptive".

At the same time, Novartis also donated the generic information needed for the drug ingredient "Sildenafil" to help Tsingshan Pharmaceutical quickly copy its drug.

……

Just after Tsingshan Pharmaceutical and Novartis signed the agency agreement for "sAC male contraceptive", Johnson & Johnson, far across the ocean, also noticed the restlessness of male consumer power on the American Internet.

To be honest, why did global capital frequently promote the "suck-up economy" in recent years?
Countless advertisements and toxic chicken soups are telling girls:
"It's Chinese Valentine's Day. If a guy doesn't buy me a bag, he doesn't love me!"

"It's Spring Festival, if a boy doesn't buy me a gift, he doesn't love me!"

“Where a man’s money is, there his heart is!”

The reason why capital will infinitely elevate women and praise them to death is because capital knows too well that men's purchasing power is stronger than women's.

But it is not easy to make money from men. Men are too rational, at least much more rational than women!
But now...

There is actually a contraceptive pill that makes all men wave their money and want to buy it. Like Friedman, Johnson & Johnson has seen the booming male economy behind it.

even!

the most important is,

If Johnson & Johnson can use Qingshan Pharmaceutical's male contraceptive to enhance its brand image among the male population and penetrate the male market share, it will be a huge boost to Johnson & Johnson's overall brand!

You know, Johnson & Johnson doesn’t just have medicines, it also has countless other products that can be purchased by men!

The commercial value brought by this alone is enough to make Johnson & Johnson carefully consider the importance of "sAC male contraceptive".

A few days later, Sun Xiaohua, vice president of Johnson & Johnson, came to Tsingshan Pharmaceutical again, and this time they prepared a more sincere plan.

But Zhang Yang declined without even looking at it.

"Mr. Sun, I'm sorry, we have already reached an agency agreement with Novartis a few days ago."

"Has the contract been signed with Novartis?"

"Mr. Zhang, why don't you talk to Novartis? We are willing to bear part of the penalty. Our proposal this time is very sincere. Why don't you take a look at it first..."

Zhang Yang refused again, and Sun Xiaohua had no choice but to leave.

Not only Johnson & Johnson, but also Durex, a British brand and the world's largest condom manufacturer, has noticed the male market behind Qingshan Pharmaceutical's "sAC male contraceptive".

Actually,
Durex’s China headquarters noticed the “sAC male contraceptive” as early as when it was just undergoing phase III clinical trials in China.

You know, China is the world's largest consumer of condoms, consuming more than 100 billion condoms every year, and China has naturally become Durex's most important source of profit.

Therefore,
When this male contraceptive entered the third phase of clinical trials, the most nervous party was not the female contraceptive manufacturer, but the condom manufacturer Durex.

But for some reason, even though the "sAC male contraceptive" had passed the Phase III clinical trial in China and obtained sales approval and was officially launched on the market, Qingshan Pharmaceutical never promoted this male contraceptive.

Domestic channels are almost all through hospital channels!
This made Durex breathe a sigh of relief.

Whatever the reason, it’s a good thing that there is no widespread publicity!

But before Durex headquarters could breathe a sigh of relief, the worries of the company became serious again as hip-hop singer Duke made the "sAC male contraceptive" popular on Twitter.

They were somewhat afraid that the fire ignited by Duke would spread to China, making the "sAC male contraceptive" that had already been launched in China suddenly popular!

But the more I think about it, the more I fear it!
Just after Johnson & Johnson was rejected in its attempt to cooperate with Tsingshan Pharmaceutical, the fire abroad spread to China.

"sAC male contraceptive pill" suddenly became popular in the country!
