Afterwards, the production of Pumpkin Vine Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory went smoothly and the warehouse was soon filled with medicines.
As a result, the pharmaceutical companies almost came to blows over how to pick up the goods.
At this time, in addition to pharmaceutical companies being able to sell on behalf of pharmaceutical companies, there is another sales method, which is that provinces, regions, and even large hospitals can contact pharmaceutical companies on their own to request supply.
Of course, they have to solve the transportation problem by themselves, which is also one of the bottlenecks restricting everyone's purchase of goods.
If the quantity is small, a few people can carry it away. But if the quantity is large, they can only rely on local pharmaceutical companies and transportation companies.
From the beginning of its construction until it went into production, pharmaceutical companies and major hospitals in various provinces across the country were keeping a close eye on Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company.
As soon as they heard that the company was about to start production, they all rushed to Yuezhou and asked the Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Factory to give them priority in supplying them.
Now, a contradiction arises.
Although there are already 5 modern pharmaceutical production lines and 666 Weitai has adopted mechanization and no longer uses manual production, the output is still too small compared to the demand.
Demand far outstrips supply.
Our country is really too big. The salesmen from 20 provincial pharmaceutical companies and the purchasing agents from the pharmacy departments of dozens of famous domestic hospitals have demands that far exceed the production capacity of pharmaceutical factories.
The key lies in the superior unit of Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company, Zhijiang Provincial Pharmaceutical Corporation, which wants to have the whole thing to itself. These drugs are all profitable once they pass through their hands, and the profits are calculated in tens of millions. Who wouldn't be tempted?
So the contradiction arises.
On one hand, the local tyrant Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company wants to be the exclusive agent, while on the other hand, pharmaceutical companies and hospitals in other provinces require separate supply.
After a few rounds of fighting, the salesperson who couldn't pick up the goods became angry and started fighting in the pharmaceutical factory.
It would be better to call it a group fight rather than a fight, a group of people beating up a few people, and the one being beaten was a salesperson from Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company.
When Chen Shuqin and Chen Xia arrived, the salesmen from Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company were sitting on the ground crying, while the salesmen from pharmaceutical companies from various provinces who were surrounding them were still denouncing them excitedly.
"You Yuezhou people are too overbearing, aren't you? Do you want to have it all to yourself? All the hospitals in our province are waiting to use you."
"That's right. I've seen unreasonable people before, but I've never seen anyone this unreasonable. We're from Union Hospital, the capital, and you can't even give us face?"
"You're so great at Union Medical College, but I'm a Shanghai-listed pharmaceutical company. It's always other provinces and cities that beg us for help. When will it be our turn to be harassed by the local authorities?"
“It’s not fair…”
Chen Xia didn't know what to do when he encountered this situation.
In his previous life, when he wanted to get his produced drugs into pharmaceutical companies or into the drug stores of major hospitals, he had to beg for help from everyone.
The manufacturers give you red envelopes and act like a grandson. You also have to use your connections everywhere to sell the drugs. And that’s not all. You have to pay regular tribute every month, otherwise the drugs will be stopped one day.
Hey, now the situation has changed, and people have started to rush to buy the drugs. There is no need to set up a sales department. As soon as the drugs are produced and arrive at the warehouse, they are snatched up by everyone.
The Finance Department is so busy collecting money that their hands are cramping.
When everyone saw the big boss of the pharmaceutical factory coming, they gathered around and asked for an explanation. Even Chen Shuqin didn't know what to do.
It is definitely wrong to hit people. After all, Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company has a close relationship with Chen Xia and they are strategic partners. How can they not show some appreciation?
Chen Xia made a phone call and asked the People's Hospital to send an ambulance, and everyone was taken to the hospital.
Upon hearing the news, Ye Shirong and Chen Qiaogu also rushed over. No one knew how to deal with this difficult problem.
The output of medicines is limited, and the cake is so small that it is impossible to satisfy everyone. Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company, or the hospitals in Zhijiang Province, must be given priority.
Chen Shuqin quietly asked Chen Xia, "Xiao Xia, how do we resolve this? These foreign merchants can't get the medicine today, and it seems they won't give up."
Chen Xia scratched his head. "What else can we do? We can only supply Zhijiang Province, the capital, and Shanghai first. There's really no way around the rest."
Chen Shuqin also sighed: "It seems that we have underestimated the demand for domestic medicines. It seems that we need to increase the production line ahead of time."
Yes, no one expected that the four medicines produced by pumpkin vines would be so popular, and no one expected that the pharmaceutical factory would face insufficient production just after it opened.
This is really a happy trouble.
In the end, it was Chairman Chen Defa who rushed to the scene after hearing about it and solved the problem.
"Young people are unreliable at critical moments," this was the old man's first words after meeting him.
However, when he said this, the confidence and happiness on his face could not be concealed. As an old man, I thought he would live a retired life, but I didn't expect that even at his old age, he would have a second spring in his career.
The nominal top leader of the Pumpkin Vine Company is very motivated now, especially since today's chaos, which neither his daughter nor his grandson can handle, and he is still needed to step forward at the critical moment, he feels a great sense of accomplishment.
In fact, the solution is very simple. Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company will get a share of the medicines produced in the first half of each month.
The drugs produced in the middle of the month were divided equally between Capital Pharmaceutical Company and Shanghai Pharmaceutical Company. There was no other way, this was a political task, and the capital's big brother and Shanghai's second brother had to be given priority in supply.
The medicines produced in the second half of the month will be divided among the pharmaceutical companies in the remaining provinces through negotiation, and Pumpkin Vine will not participate in the distribution.
Except for Yuezhou People's Hospital and Provincial First Hospital, which can purchase medicines directly from pharmaceutical companies, other hospitals are not allowed to directly request purchases.
Finally, Chen Defa made a guarantee to everyone on the spot that the Pumpkin Vine Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory will start the second phase of the project immediately, and will invest 15 more production lines in the second batch, so that everyone can get the goods in time.
OK, the storm was settled.
Seeing everyone leaving, Chen Xia had to give the old man a thumbs up: "Grandpa, after all, the old ones are still the wisest. It seems that I still need you to take charge at the critical moment."
"Hahaha, that's right. When I was venturing into Shanghai, you two didn't even know where you were."
"But Dad, if we start the second phase of the project, we don't have that much money. Just purchasing the production line will cost tens of millions of dollars."
Chen Xia heard her aunt's concerns, but she didn't take them seriously. What does an ally mean? If Pumpkin Vine is in trouble, can't she just ask those three pharmaceutical giants for support?
The final negotiation result was exactly what Chen Xia had expected. All 15 production lines were provided by GlaxoSmithKline, second-hand. One production line cost only US$500,000, and subsequent patent fees could be used to offset the cost.
Considering the Japanese offer of $5 million, the English are simply living **.
