Chen Xia's worries were not unnecessary.
Ever since Pumpkin Vine invented omeprazole and developed a quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori, major pharmaceutical giants have been eyeing them.
Later, in order to earn more capital, Chen Xia launched sildenafil, nebulizer drugs, and second-generation allergy drugs.
Each of these drugs represents a "revolutionary" overhaul of the cause and treatment of related diseases.
How many pharmaceutical companies’ interests have been greatly damaged by this?
The old pattern has been broken and new drugs are coming to the market, which means that their drugs will no longer be sold and will face elimination.
How can these giants be willing to withdraw from the arena?
So whether it is a competitor or a partner like Pfizer GlaxoSmithKline, everyone wants to know what the secrets of Pumpkin Vine are?
According to their understanding, there must be a huge laboratory behind this to support it.
A laboratory requires a large number of researchers, so by bribing these staff members, we can get information about what drugs they are researching.
Or even better, get some top-secret information and apply for a patent first. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
As long as we find these researchers, wouldn’t it be easy to “seduce” them?
Giving money is the most common way.
Another thing is to help people study abroad. It is well known that young Chinese people in the 1980s worshipped foreign things.
If all else fails, there is one last trick, which is to help with immigration. As long as you can get the core information, it will be a piece of cake for your whole family to immigrate.
But the prerequisite for all this is to be able to contact the staff of the relevant laboratory of Pumpkin Vine Company.
If you are abroad, you can hire a headhunting company to help you. They are a professional team of poachers. As long as the conditions are right, there is no one they cannot poach.
Just like Director Li Zhibai of Margaret Hospital, when he was the director of Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital, Chen Shuqin contacted him through a headhunting company and offered him double the salary, and easily poached him.
But here comes the problem.
There are no headhunting companies in China, and foreign headhunting companies have no interpersonal foundation in China at all. They are completely in the dark.
Who else could he turn to? The Chinese government?
Tell them that we want to poach some of your drug researchers and hope you can cooperate.
At this time, Chinese officials still adhered to principles and politics. How could they sell out domestic interests for a few dollars?
This is why "open conspiracy" cannot be realized, so the only option is "conspiracy".
Playing tricks is also a troublesome thing. At this time, China is too closed. If Guangdong or Shanghai are relatively open, Yuezhou, a small 18th-tier city, is still in an absolutely conservative state.
You, a few white people with blond hair and blue eyes, came to Yuezhou for a "visit", and the people of Yuezhou followed you the whole time like you were watching monkeys, right?
How could he possibly sneak into Pumpkin Vine, steal the information, and then escape in a helicopter like in the movies?
You think you're from Now You See Me?
This doesn’t work, and that doesn’t work. Those foreign pharmaceutical giants are going crazy!
This is also why so many well-known foreign pharmaceutical and medical companies came from afar to participate in Chen Xia's international academic conference.
They are here to gather intelligence.
Not only do they want to listen to what you say, but they also want to see what new drugs you have invented. It would be best if they have the chance to connect with those mysterious laboratory workers.
As a result, after five days of meetings, not to mention researchers, not even a fly was touched, which made everyone very annoyed.
After all, there are only a few companies like "Lilai Pharmaceutical" that do not follow the routine and directly steal a few experimental drugs to reverse-engineer and imitate them.
Patent Law and intellectual property protection are no joke.
No company without a certain background would dare to go down this path, as it would mean degradation and facing sky-high penalties if the lawsuit was lost.
The only remaining solution is to bribe the local Chinese and find a way to sneak into the Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Factory.
Liu Yuzhi is such a bribed commercial spy.
Bribing his company, the requirement for him is to do everything possible to find where the drug laboratory is? It is best to have a good relationship with the researchers and then recruit a few researchers to defect.
If all else fails, just steal some of the latest drug research data. Anyway, he will be rewarded for every successful deal.
Money is a good thing. Money can sell one's conscience, make one a traitor and a guide, and can oppose the development of one's own IT industry, saying that in order to save costs one only needs to import chips and components, assemble them, and then hype them as national brands to reap a wave of profits in the market.
For the sake of money, they can package all the geographical information in the country and send it to our country's arch-enemy, just to list their own stocks and make money.
Liu Yuzhi is a native of Yuezhou and a former employee of Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory. He is in his 40s and is one of the few technical talents in the factory.
Since Pumpkin Vine acquired Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory, he has successfully entered the new company. Because he has relevant professional knowledge, he was assigned to the raw material mixing workshop and became a team leader.
The monthly salary of a team leader is 140 yuan, and that of an ordinary worker is 110 yuan. Logically speaking, this is definitely not a low salary in Yuezhou. In other state-owned factories, it is considered good to earn 50 or 60 yuan a month.
Liu Yuzhi appears to be very optimistic and helpful. After get off work every day, he is the last one to leave the workshop.
Others are in a hurry to go home after work, but he is not like that. He likes to wander around the factory and get to know other colleagues.
He also has a habit of smoking next to a building by the river every day.
This building is the most mysterious place in the Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Factory, because it not only has the most security, but also has surveillance cameras on the courtyard wall, which is very rare in China.
This made Liu Yuzhi believe that this mysterious building must be the location of the laboratory.
What commercial spies need is patience, so whenever Liu Yuzhi has nothing to do, he will pretend to go to the river to smoke a cigarette, but his eyes never leave the gate.
What he didn't know was that his abnormal behavior could not be hidden from the retired security guards who were scouts, and they had noticed him a long time ago.
Security room, in front of the surveillance TV.
Security captain Shen Chengxing pointed at the middle-aged man smoking in front of the screen and reported this man's information and his abnormal behavior in the past few months to "Prince" Chen Xia.
"Boss, this is the 12th abnormal worker we've found. The previous 11 have already been identified and sent to labor camps."
Chen Xia thought these people were really stupid. The real laboratory was not here at all.
This small building is obviously used for "fishing" to catch those very unprofessional and amateur "traitors".
As a result, these people came to die one after another. The ignorant are fearless.
