The agreement between Chen Xia and GlaxoSmithKline clearly stipulated that the inventor of sildenafil was Zheng Haisheng from the mainland, and the Margaret Hospital in Hong Kong was the client.
This will not only give Zheng Haisheng an advantage in future job title promotion, but more importantly, it will make Margaret Hospital famous because of this aphrodisiac.
The hospital's urology department, etc., can now almost be called "andrology". Starting with the director Ma Dezhong, almost all the doctors in the department have now become Chen Xia's die-hard fans.
The doctors who had previously clamored to change jobs have completely given up on this idea, and now even refuse to leave even if we want to kick them out.
Why? For money.
Urology can be said to be a double-edged sword of fame and fortune. From a profit perspective, it can easily bring in tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a month in extra income. Isn't that great? This almost exceeds their normal salary.
From the perspective of benefits, the Urology Department of Margaret Hospital was the first to use sildenafil, and it also had first-hand information. Papers were written quickly, and the SCI impact factor rose rapidly.
This is not enough. According to the agreement, GlaxoSmithKline will promote sildenafil worldwide in the future, and the urology doctors of Margaret Hospital will serve as lecturers and travel around the world.
The fees for this kind of international lectures are very high.
Finally, there are the International Council of Urological Diseases (ICUD), the International Society of Urology (SIU), and the International Society for Sexual and Reproductive Research (ISSIR). The public relations for these three organizations are handled by GlaxoSmithKline.
The doctors in the urology department of Margaret Hospital will almost certainly become directors of these societies, which is definitely the pinnacle of their careers.
On the other hand, Margaret has actually achieved world-class levels in urology, which is definitely a plus for the hospital's reputation.
Then all the concessions Chen Xia made would be worth it.
After all, without the help of these pharmaceutical giants, it would be difficult to promote sildenafil around the world. Even if it were to be promoted, the investment would be huge.
Pumpkin Vine has no money, no connections, and no influence now. It is a typical "three-no" enterprise.
If nothing unexpected happens, with this 25% stake, Chen Xia will probably become one of the richest people ranked high on the Forbes list.
Whenever Section Chief Chen thought of this, he felt elated, and his mental illness improved a little.
Chen Shuqin was answering the phone and was a little puzzled to see her nephew looking so intoxicated.
"Xiao Xia, I just received a call. Our company account in the Cayman Islands has received two payments from GlaxoSmithKline. One is $200 million for the acquisition of the pharmaceutical factory, and the other is $100 million for the patent licensing fee for the quadruple therapy drug."
Chen Xia's eyes lit up instantly.
"Are they moving so quickly? By the way, have the first patent fees from Huiduan Pharmaceutical and Takeda Pharmaceutical arrived yet?"
"It arrived a few days ago, and the two companies together have $300 million."
Chen Xia felt that his fingers were not enough to count. He suddenly had an additional $600 million in his overseas account. This was $600 million in 1986.
The key is that this money is only the first installment. In the future, patent licensing fees will be received twice a year. If nothing unexpected happens, at least US$500 million will be earned each year.
The dividends from Sildenafil shares are at least several hundred million dollars a year.
This is incredible. With the increase in wealth year after year, although I can't compare to those financiers who speculate on capital, at least I can keep up in the first tier of the rich.
It is said that making medicine is more profitable than making white powder. This is indeed a highly profitable industry.
What can I do with all this money? After becoming rich overnight, Chen Xia was a little confused. His current expenses were really pitiful.
At this time, it is impossible for the mainland to buy him a luxury yacht, a big villa, a work-to-diet, or a private jet. He doesn't come to Hong Kong often, so what should he do with the money?
"Oh, aunt, invest all this money according to our agreement last time. Just keep a maximum of $100 million in the account as a reserve fund."
Chen Shuqin flipped open her notebook and took a look. "Invest in US stocks? Bottom-fishing the Hong Kong property market? Buying fine wine? Buying gold?"
"Yes, just diversify your investments like this. Also, if you're investing in US stocks, invest in the stocks I mentioned last time, such as Apple, but your shareholding should never exceed 10%."
"Why? Shouldn't the more shares you hold, the better?"
"What's good about that? Your shareholding ratio is too high, and the cake you'll get in the future is too big. The management of the other company, or the financial group behind it, may not be happy. So you're just working for others for free, right?
So we should stop at the right time and just take advantage of the situation. Be careful that they might escape and start a new business. So 10% is just right.
Moreover, we hold shares but do not participate in the company's decision-making. We only want a seat on the board of directors and make it clear to them that our voting rights will always support the company's management and we will fully support them."
Chen Shuqin actually didn't quite understand Chen Xia's approach. For example, he only collected a small amount of royalties for omeprazole, and he didn't fight for controlling stake in sildenafil.
If you invest in US stocks now, with these hundreds of millions of dollars, you can definitely bring down a small company like Apple. It is entirely possible to slowly acquire shares and become the largest shareholder in the future.
Since you think so highly of this company, why don't you just buy it and let them work for you? Wouldn't you make more money that way?
My eldest nephew always seems to want to take a ride, but has never thought about becoming a real trader.
In fact, Chen Shuqin had no idea that Chen Xia, a yellow man and a businessman from Red China, could possibly go to Europe and the United States to be a "trader"?
The day Chen Xia took control of Apple would actually be the day Apple went bankrupt, and the investment would be completely wasted.
But for the American people, or for the management of Apple in the United States, even if there are no apples, there can still be bananas and oranges.
So for Chen Xia, the best way is to use an offshore company account and become a "free rider". Politics is not something that an ordinary Chinese like him can participate in.
Unless one day he is willing to become an American citizen, become an American, and become one of them, and if he can't beat them, then he will join them, then he will be able to take you to play.
The Jews who control Wall Street are definitely not of the innocent generation, otherwise why would the US target them in World War II?
So if Chen Xia wants to learn from Chen Chun and be a pure patriot, he can only be a "salted fish" in the national capital market, or a big salted fish hidden below the level.
