In addition, there are many stakeholders in this Helicobacter pylori project, such as Pfizer in the United States and Takeda in Japan, both of which are producing and selling quadruple drugs in this regard.
As long as this topic wins the Nobel Prize in Medicine, it will be the highest official honor in the world and the best recognition.
Then some patients who have doubts about the quadruple therapy will continue the treatment without hesitation, which will greatly promote the sales of the drug.
Since everyone can make money, how can it be possible that only Pumpkin Vine and GlaxoSmithKline are required to do the work, effort and money?
As a result, the three companies also had a clear division of labor privately: GlaxoSmithKline was responsible for lobbying in Europe and Africa, Pfizer was responsible for lobbying in the Americas, and Takeda was responsible for lobbying in Asia and Oceania.
The PR fees were shared equally among the three of them.
Chen Xia was more cunning. Pumpkin Vine was mainly responsible for lobbying the WHO. Was lobbying even necessary for this? He had already done it.
Public relations fees are free. This kind of Nobel Prize-level public relations starts at tens of millions of dollars. Wouldn't it be nice to buy a Coke with that much money?
A week later, the 1993 Nobel Prize nominations were announced, and "The discovery of Helicobacter pylori that causes gastritis and gastric ulcers" was among the candidates for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
The author listed three people, namely Chen Chun, Xuan Yongda and Robert Gregory.
Needless to say, Chen Xia and Xuan Yongda both work at Four Seasons Hospital now. As long as they win the Nobel Prize, Four Seasons Hospital will also be the biggest winner.
As for Professor Gregory, if it weren't for his support for the Helicobacter pylori theory and quadruple therapy, the weak pumpkin vine would never have been quickly recognized by the mainstream medical community based on China's influence alone.
Without recognition and acceptance from the international mainstream medical community, the patent for the quadruple therapy would not have been sold, and there would have been no future for Chen Xia.
In addition, when Chen Xia first started his business, he didn't have much money. The Helicobacter pylori laboratory was actually sponsored by Professor Gregory, and he participated in all subsequent research.
Therefore, according to the original agreement between the two parties, Chen Xia listed Professor Gregory as a "co-author", which was a win-win process.
No one was very excited about being nominated for the Nobel Prize, because after all, it was not the first time to be nominated and they had been disappointed last time.
Now is the time to get down to business. The key is how to convince the professors with voting rights at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Karolinska Institute.
If you want to do public relations and directly give money and women, that can only be said to be too low. Once the media finds out, don't even think about wanting to win the award, you will never be able to hold your head up in this life.
The only way is to use indirect public relations, for example, a wealthy person with no vested interest in the matter is willing to take the initiative to fund a review committee member's project.
For example, a professor’s paper was stuck at a certain stage, and suddenly a mysterious person jumped out to help him solve it, and it was published smoothly.
For example, the third great-uncle of the second brother of the wife of a certain judge suddenly had hundreds of thousands of dollars in labor fees added to his account.
There are about 50 professors in this committee, and of course there are some impartial ones among them. They will vote based on the importance and contribution of the submitted projects.
But you cannot deny that people are greedy, and there must be unknown secrets in some shady places.
Just like the Hollywood Oscar selection, there is either money involved or the exchange of "human fluids" behind it.
Harvey Weinstein almost controlled the entire Oscars in his hands and could make anyone win the Best Actress award.
If Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment incident had not been exposed, how would ordinary people know so many real inside stories?
Chen Xia and several other pharmaceutical giants met secretly with several public relations companies. After filling out a check for more than eight figures, they arrived in Henan by private jet.
Because he had received a call from ASML, inviting him to go to Henan to discuss the sales of lithography machines.
All of this stemmed from two terrorist attacks that happened simultaneously in Taiwan and Australia, which resulted in the complete destruction of TJD and LID companies.
Due to force majeure, the two companies naturally canceled the orders for more than 30 lithography machines, and no compensation was given for subsequent losses due to force majeure.
The problem is that these 35 lithography machines have been manufactured and are about to be shipped, but someone suddenly wants them, and ASML is confused.
These lithography machines are the most advanced models, each priced at up to US$80 million, totaling more than US$2.8 billion.
Even if ASML's manufacturing cost is more than 1.7 billion US dollars, it is definitely more than 1.7 billion US dollars. Originally, they wanted to make a fortune with this big order and have a prosperous year, but now it has all been lost.
How to recover funds has become the company's top priority.
A lithography machine that costs $80 million is not a bargain; anyone can’t buy it just because they want to.
But at the same time, it’s not something that ASML can sell just because it wants to.
To launch a chip project, the country where it is located must have repeatedly weighed the issues, and the company must have carefully planned and researched them. This requires a long market research process.
Other countries are drooling when they see the extra lithography machines produced by ASML.
However, either they had no money or no investment plan for a chip factory, so ASML asked around and finally only sold 12 units, leaving 23 lithography machines with no one interested.
Just when everyone at ASML was in a headache, Vito, one of the sales managers, the white manager who had given Chen Xia advice earlier, mentioned another buyer to the company.
Four Seasons Group from Hong Kong.
Vito was following the news. It was he who gave Chen Xia the hint, suggesting that Chen Xia find a way to prevent the two companies from starting operations.
Unexpectedly, within less than a month after returning, this Chinese boy wiped out two semiconductor manufacturing giants with ease and efficiency. He really wiped them out. All the factories were bombed and burned, and all the machines were destroyed.
This made Vito feel cold at the back whenever he thought about it, and he made up his mind that he would never reveal that this "sabotage plan" was his idea, otherwise he would die without knowing how he did it.
He and Chen Xia had an agreement before, that Chen Xia would give him $10,000 as information consulting fee.
If ASML has plans to sell its lithography machines, Vito can remind the company of such a customer when necessary.
As long as the transaction is completed, Chen Xia is willing to pay him an additional $100,000 as "brokerage fee."
When the sales manager of ASML heard Vito's introduction and said that Hong Kong would purchase at least five lithography machines, his eyes immediately lit up.
At this point, it doesn’t matter whether you have sales qualifications in Hong Kong or not, and it doesn’t matter whether the COCOM is round or square. What ASML needs to consider is whether the company can survive.
