The Super Rich: Start from when the family business is about to go bankrupt!

Chapter 349 WPG0348: Telling a story? Fateful choice: Win-win cooperation? Want to win twice!
Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group headquarters, small conference room.

Melissa Foster, the Xiaguo representative of Nova Pharmaceuticals, was waiting with three staff members.

Melissa was browsing the relevant information about the Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base. She shook her head slightly as she read, not knowing why she was shaking her head.

Two or three minutes later, An Wuyang, Tang Wenshu, and Xiao Qingyue arrived at the small conference room together. Also there was assistant secretary Dong Zihao, who was going to take minutes of the meeting.

"Hello, Mr. An, I'm Melissa Foster, currently serving as the Xia representative of Nova Pharmaceuticals." Melissa actually introduced herself in standard Xia dialect.

"Hello, Ms. Melissa." An Wuyang also responded in Xia Guoyu, and secretly used the character rating subsystem to secretly check the other party's information.

……

Melissa Foster:

Age: 33
Height: 176cm
Weight: XNUM X kg
Face value: 70
Body: 88
Favorability: 79
Health: 88
Purity: 86.8
……

An Wuyang saw the purity rating for the first time.

Good guy!
An Wuyang could only sigh inwardly, “What a great guy!”

As expected of a foreigner in the medical field, this rating is quite impressive.

According to the Happy Life System's definition of purity, 42 people have now entered Melissa's heart.

An Wuyang checked his favorability again, and found that 79 points was already the highest score among friends.

An Wuyang took the initiative to ask, "Ms. Melissa is visiting us this time, what can I do for you?"

Melissa asked back, "Does Mr. An know about Nova Pharmaceuticals?"

An Wuyang nodded slightly, "I have a certain understanding."

An Wuyang knew a little about the famous Nova Pharmaceuticals.

"In fact, we at Nova Pharmaceuticals have always been tolerant of the Xia Country market," Melissa explained.

An Wuyang raised his eyebrows. He really wanted to use Xia Yuqing's catchphrase, but he felt that it seemed impolite?

"Mr. An doesn't believe it, right?" Melissa asked.

"First of all, we want to apologize to Mr. An and hope that Mr. An will give us a chance to explain," Melissa explained.

"What do you mean?" An Wuyang was puzzled.

"I believe President An should have heard some gossip, such as that our Nova Pharmaceuticals arranged for commercial spies to infiltrate Xia Country in order to find an opportunity to steal the parent plants of your Wu Geng Tian herb." Melissa put the things that were going on under the table directly on the stage for discussion.

An Wuyang looked at the other person in silence.

"On behalf of Nova Pharmaceuticals, let me clarify one thing. We at Nova Pharmaceuticals are well aware of the dependence of your Xia country's medicinal herbs on their production areas, so we have not arranged for commercial spies to steal your herbal parent plants." Melissa explained.

"Those commercial spies pretending to be from Nova Pharmaceuticals actually came from Basilea Pharmaceuticals and NP Pharmaceuticals, which was established only two years ago," Melissa added.

"NP Pharma is a brand new pharmaceutical company established in Ruixi in 2019. Its full name is Noxzema Pharma. I usually call it [Norma Pharma]." Melissa explained.

"Although it was only established in 2019, it is very strong. It received hundreds of millions of dollars in financing last year, and this year's financing may exceed 10 billion US dollars," Melissa added.

"Baseria and NP are both pretending to be commercial spies sent by us. These two pharmaceutical companies don't have a deep understanding of your Xia country's herbal medicine." Melissa teased.

"Maybe Mr. An thinks that I am just talking nonsense. After all, there is no evidence for the information I said." Melissa analyzed the problem from An Wuyang's perspective.

"But as I said at the beginning, we Nova have always been very tolerant of the Xiaguo market." Melissa sighed.

"Let me tell Mr. An a story," Melissa continued.

An Wuyang made a 'please' gesture, and then asked, "Can we take a video to record this story?"

Melissa responded with a smile, "Although I don't mind you taking a video record, I suggest that Mr. An listen to the story first. After all, if this story gets out, it will probably put a lot of pressure on you, Wugengtian."

"Then let's listen to the story first." An Wuyang signaled Xiao Qingyue not to shoot the Vlog video.

"Mr. An should know our Nova's star product Gleevec, right?" Melissa asked.

"Of course." An Wuyang confirmed.

"Gleevec started Phase I clinical trials in Bald Eagle as early as 1998, and was launched on the market in 2001. The patent protection period ended in 2013." Melissa explained the length of Gleevec's patent period.

"Among them, in 2002, India reverse-engineered Gleevec and produced a copycat version of Gleevec," Melissa added.

"Next is the story of your Xia country. The specific name is private, so we will use [Mr. A] instead of his name." Melissa actually expressed her respect for privacy.

"Starting in 2004, Mr. A smuggled counterfeit Gleevec from India into Xia Country, which started a process of mutual assistance among patients. We at Nova Pharmaceuticals soon learned about this," Melissa explained.

An Wuyang had no doubt about the authenticity of this matter!
As a pharmaceutical giant, how could Nova Pharmaceuticals not even have this little intelligence capability?
Even if Nova Pharmaceuticals didn't know it at first, as the sales of the corresponding drugs decreased and the corresponding patients did not die, didn't the problem arise?
"At the beginning, the price of our Nova's genuine Gleevec in your country was about 23500 yuan. Many people thought this price was very expensive. In fact, we at Nova also thought it was very expensive." Melissa joked.

Xiao Qingyue was puzzled. Nova Pharmaceuticals also felt that the price was expensive, but was that ok?
"Because during the same period, Gleevec only cost 2000 US dollars in Bald Eagle. According to the exchange rate of 6.2+ at that time, it was about 1.3+ Xia Guoyuan." Melissa explained.

At first glance, this price seems to be only ten thousand yuan different?

However, in Xiaguo at that time, it was still a big question whether most people's salary could reach 3,000 Xiaguo yuan. But in Bald Eagle at that time, most people's monthly income exceeded 2,000 US dollars.

"Also, during the same period, the price of Gleevec on Hongkang Island was 1.7 to 1.9 Xia Guoyuan, the price in Neon was 1.6 Xia Guoyuan, and the price in Corea was basically no more than 9500 Xia Guoyuan, and most of the time it was around Xia Guoyuan." Melissa expressed her meaning through different prices.

"Since Gleevec was too expensive, Mr. A smuggled counterfeit Gleevec from India. At first, it only cost 3000 yuan, but 3000 yuan was also very expensive for Xia State at that time. In the end, Mr. A went to India in person to negotiate the price down to 200 yuan," Melissa added.

"At this time, we at Nova Pharmaceuticals had actually already noticed the existence of Mr. A. However, after comprehensive consideration, we at Nova Pharmaceuticals finally gave up suing Mr. A." Melissa sighed.

"After all, at that time, ordinary patients in your Xia country really couldn't afford genuine Gleevec, but they would really die if they didn't use Gleevec." Melissa added.

"In view of such realistic factors, we at Nova Pharmaceuticals finally chose to turn a blind eye." Melissa said flatteringly.

"Mr. An still doesn't believe it, right?" Melissa asked. An Wuyang didn't comment.

Xiao Qingyue was a little bit unconvinced!
“As for the corresponding situation, you can actually analyze it by searching for public information on the Internet,” Melissa explained.

"Mr. A has been smuggling India's counterfeit Gleevec for almost ten years. Even if we at Nova Pharmaceuticals are stupid, we should be able to discover the problem after such a long time, right?" Melissa asked.

An Wuyang was silent.

"When Mr. A was arrested, it was not our Nova Pharmaceuticals' fault. We, Nova Pharmaceuticals, hoped to extend the patent period of Gleevec in your country, Xia, but your country rejected such an application. At the same time, a pharmaceutical company in your country produced a generic version of Gleevec." Melissa explained in more detail.

"Based on the corresponding timeline and analyzing the cause and effect of the corresponding events, it should be easy for Mr. An to figure out the answer, right?" Melissa asked with a smile.

An Wuyang had the answer in his mind, but as Melissa said, how could such a thing be exposed publicly?

Once it is exposed, it will definitely cause trouble for Wugengtian.

"So how does Ms. Melissa want to cooperate?" An Wuyang asked.

"We, Nova, want to establish a cooperative project with you, Wugengtian, to jointly study vitality recovery factors and energy recovery factors." Melissa explained.

"We at Nova know about your tests with CLC Group and Moscow State Hospital, but both CLC Group and Moscow State Hospital are very weak in the field of medical research and development," Melissa added.

An Wuyang laughed at himself, "Maybe we can also add Wugengtian. In the eyes of you pharmaceutical giants, aren't we nature's porters?"

Melissa laughed. “That’s an interesting statement!”

"However, your research and development capabilities in the medical field are indeed a little weak." Melissa said frankly.

"For example, your research on vitality recovery factors lacks both a team of experts in cutting-edge fields and cutting-edge medical laboratories, and even more so, cutting-edge theoretical support." Melissa explained the advantages of Nova Pharmaceuticals.

"If we cooperate, you will provide two recovery factors, and we will provide research and development. This is an opportunity for win-win cooperation," Melissa explained.

……

'Ding! '

'Fateful Choice: Win-win Cooperation?'

'In the host's concept, win-win cooperation means winning twice, so does the host want to win twice?'

'If the host chooses to cooperate with Nova Medical, please persuade Nova Medical to invest in Shengqing, including establishing a cutting-edge medical laboratory and sending a cutting-edge medical research team to work in Shengqing.'

'Fate Reward: It will be determined based on the negotiation results between the host and Nova Pharmaceuticals. The more favorable the negotiation results are to the host, the higher the corresponding reward weight will be.'

……

Hey!
Can it actually trigger a decision of fate?

An Wuyang was secretly shocked.

However, it is not easy to convince Nova Pharmaceuticals to invest in establishing a cutting-edge medical research team in Shengqing and to send the cutting-edge medical research team to work in Shengqing.

After all, some medical research equipment is also subject to regulation, and it is difficult for them to enter Xia Country.

In addition, it is also difficult to determine whether those cutting-edge medical research teams are willing to come to Shengqing to work.

"Mr. An, what do you think?" Melissa asked.

An Wuyang was silent.

Melissa continued, "If you guys at Wugengtian want to train your own R&D team, it will take too long, maybe even ten years."

“What’s more critical is that you’ve spent ten years training a research and development team, and you still don’t know whether the team can produce results,” Melissa added.

"If you choose to cooperate with us, Nova Pharmaceuticals, we are willing to make great concessions and are willing to hand over the leadership of the project to you, Wu Geng Tian." Melissa added.

An Wuyang raised his eyebrows, "What's going on?"

"You guys made such a big concession that I feel a little panicked." An Wuyang said this deliberately to test the other party's situation.

Melissa replied calmly, "At present, you, Wugengtian, have a monopoly on vitality recovery factors and energy recovery factors, but Nova is not the only company that has cutting-edge medical research teams and cutting-edge medical laboratories."

"Perhaps other pharmaceutical companies are now more interested in suppressing your Wu Geng Tian, or even stealing your Wu Geng Tian's herbal parent plants. However, once they understand the problem of the herbal origins in Xia Country, they will change their minds 180 degrees." Melissa continued to explain.

"We, Nova Pharmaceuticals, have only advanced the time a little bit and played the emotional card. After all, we, Nova Pharmaceuticals, have been deeply rooted in your country Xia for many years and have never had any bad negative image. We believe that you, Wugengtian, also hope to choose a partner with better reputation, right?" Melissa asked.

In fact, when choosing a partner, it is indeed a good thing if the partner has a better reputation.

After all, if the partner is an old fox, who knows whether he will betray you?
An Wuyang took a deep breath before responding, "Regarding the cooperation, there is no problem in principle."

Melissa is very fluent in Xia Mandarin, and she immediately responded, "What are Mr. An's concerns about?"

"Mr. An, please express your concerns first. We at Nova will do our best to solve the corresponding problems. As long as the problem can be solved, we at Nova will solve it until Mr. An is satisfied." Melissa added.

Judging from Melissa's attitude, Nova Pharmaceuticals is indeed sincere.

An Wuyang asked, "If we conduct research on energy recovery factors and vitality recovery factors, where do you Nova plan to conduct the corresponding research?"

"This." Melissa hesitated for two seconds before continuing, "We plan to conduct research at Nova's headquarters. Our Nova headquarters is in Reichbasel, a world-renowned university city. There is sufficient research capacity and a constant flow of new ideas there."

When it comes to Ruixi, most Xia people only know Zurich and Geneva.

As for other cities
I am not very familiar with Basel and Bern, the capital of Switzerland.

When An Wuyang heard Melissa's answer, he sighed inwardly. Nova Pharmaceuticals really wanted to conduct the research project at their headquarters instead of at the R&D center of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group.

Perhaps it’s because Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group’s R&D center seems too simple to Nova Pharmaceuticals?
After all, what's wrong with the mineral water company's R&D environment being a little crude?
Anyway, we are just nature’s porters!
