Witt's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"It's incredible. The global anti-tuberculosis market is a huge pie, generating tens of billions of dollars a year. Even if you exclude Asia, Anthony, you can still make a fortune."
Anthony had guessed what the Englishman was going to do, but he still tried to struggle:
"Witt, you should also know that the United States is the world's largest drug consumer market, but we need to spend a lot of public relations fees to obtain FDA approval.
Furthermore, the laws in European countries are very strict. If we want to conquer Europe, our team will also need to invest a lot of money. So you should not only look at our profits, but also at our efforts.
Professor Witte suddenly sat up straight and said to Lin Sanqi seriously:
"Lin, Anthony is right. The market prospects for Epyridamole tablets are too good. It's a huge market worth tens of billions of dollars, and Anthony's team may not be able to take it all.
You need more allies. Only when there are more people sharing the cake will everyone take the initiative to protect the cake from being broken."
Lin Sanqi already understood what this 'Marces' was up to, but he alone had no say in the matter.
"Professor Witte, I know that my country and I are very weak, so I only take what I deserve.
I produce the drug and hold the patent. I only take a fee for my hard work. I don't care what the retail price is."
Professor Witte nodded and gave a thumbs up:
"Lin, you are a smart person. The way you divide the cake will allow you to make enough profit. Anthony..."
Professor Witte looked at Anthony and Theodore again:
"I have an idea. I'm the president of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, and you're the vice president. Let's try to recruit a few more vice presidents. Then, we can promote it globally under the name of the medical association. Do you think it's authoritative?"
Anthony gritted his teeth and said, "This is indeed authoritative, and it will be the fastest way to promote anti-tuberculosis drugs around the world."
The "Clinical Guidelines for Pulmonary Tuberculosis" developed by Lin Sanqi's team and Anthony's team must be stamped and approved by the industry medical association, that is, the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, before it can be recognized by the mainstream medical circles around the world.
It is equivalent to that Lin Sanqi and others have the right to draft the manuscript, but the right to publish and certify is in the hands of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease.
If the president and vice president of the society personally stepped in and recommended it to doctors around the world, or even revised the textbooks, they would acknowledge that the ethylpyridamole tablets invented by Lin Sanqi are an effective anti-tuberculosis drug.
Then there is no need to advertise ethiopyrad tablets at all and they can be officially put into clinical use.
This is a quick way to get rich.
But there is no free lunch in the world. Anyone who is not a fool can understand that Professor Witte took the initiative to propose this method.
Professor Witte also wants to get a piece of the pie and become a chess player.
Of course, Lin Sanqi and Anthony can refuse, but then the current clinical verification may not pass, and it may not be recognized by the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease in the future.
Without official endorsement, Anthony's team can only promote the product country by country and hospital by hospital, and the difficulty of public relations can be imagined.
Professor Theodore was clearly unconvinced:
"Witt, do you know that for this project, we spent a full six months in a place without flush toilets, air conditioning, or Coca-Cola? And then another six months in Hong Kong, an oriental city.
"We haven't been home properly for over a year, and we've invested all our energy and money. Now that this project is about to succeed and we're about to reap the rewards, you're trying to reap the rewards?"
Professor Witte shrugged: "Theodore, calm down. You and Anthony can't eat a cake worth tens of billions of dollars."
Professor Theodore sneered:
"Witt, you are such a typical Jew. I don't know why the mustache didn't kill you back then."
When Lin Sanqi heard this, he thought that this old English man would be furious.
The mustache painter is the nightmare of all Jews and cannot even be mentioned.
Who knew that Professor Witte burst into laughter:
"The massacre of the mustache only helped us to clear out some competitors. With a few million fewer people to share the cake, we who are still alive can eat more.
So you see, the world's economy is still controlled by the Jews. Nothing has changed, right?"
Lin Sanqi raised his hand and said, "Mr. Witte, China is not in the hands of the Jews."
Professor Anthony was very calm and asked:
"Witt, how are you going to divide this cake?"
Professor Witte said with a hint of pride:
"Lin is the inventor of the drug, and we also need a drug production base, so we don't have to build a factory and avoid heavy assets. So this point remains unchanged, and the drug will be provided by Lin.
My demands are not high. I just want the European agency rights. Anthony, Theodore, the United States, the world's largest pharmaceutical consumer market, still belongs to you. You can even take over the entire Americas and Africa."
Professor Anthony sneered:
"Just like streptomycin? Europe and America separated?"
Streptomycin was invented by American microbiologist Waksman in 1943.
This discovery marked streptomycin as the second antibiotic used in clinical practice after penicillin.
Streptomycin was first used to treat tuberculosis in 1944, ending the disease's history of being "incurable." Its potent anti-TB effect provided a revolutionary treatment option for the medical community.
Before Lin Sanqi's pyridoxine tablets were launched, streptomycin became a miracle drug because it could cure 40% of tuberculosis.
As long as it is a miracle drug, the price will definitely not be cheap. In the 1940s, a drug could make hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars a year. Who wouldn’t be crazy?
After streptomycin was introduced, it has never been promoted worldwide due to conflicts of interest.
Finally, several presidents of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease assigned sales areas to each of them, and then worked together to promote it and wrote it into the "Guidelines" in the official name of the Medical Association.
This is what made streptomycin quickly popular around the world, quickly entered the clinic, and made a lot of money.
Precisely because these medical giants could all get a piece of the pie, streptomycin became more and more legendary when it was promoted globally.
It was originally developed as an anti-tuberculosis drug, but eventually became a broad-spectrum antibiotic.
The worst thing is that the medical leaders of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease deliberately concealed the ototoxic side effects of streptomycin.
Knowing the huge risks of using drugs for children, the "Clinical Guidelines" continue to recommend the use of drugs for children over 2 years old. How many innocent children have become deaf in the end?
Therefore, the medical circle is definitely not full of angels in white as outsiders see it. Those well-known experts on the stage who appear to be righteous may be accomplices of capitalists.
In other words, those who can become international medical giants are themselves "capital".
This phenomenon has not changed even after decades, and we cannot even rule out the possibility that some global public health crises may be caused by viruses that were created by vaccine companies...hmm...
Then some medical experts came out to recommend that ordinary people use this vaccine or that special medicine. How could it be possible that there is no profit behind this?
Professor Anthony glanced at his companion Theodore, and the two were obviously engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
Lin Sanqi didn't care. No matter who got the sales rights, he was the manufacturer and would only take what belonged to him.
In fact, Professor Witte's joining is more beneficial to Lin Sanqi. First, there is competition, and second, there is a powerful ally. Why not?
The two American professors left the room and came back half an hour later.
Professor Anthony's expression has returned to calm.
"Witt, we allow you to have a share of the European pie, but we also have a request. In the next election of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, I will remain as vice president, and Theodore and Lin Sanqi will also become new vice presidents and directors.
Theodore is already a senior professor and fully meets the qualifications for vice president in terms of experience. Moreover, he is only 48 years old this year. We should absorb more young forces and train them as our successors.
As for Lin Sanqi, although he is still young, he invented the pyridoxine tablets and was the first doctor in the world to truly conquer tuberculosis. Based on this alone, he has a chance of winning the Nobel Prize, let alone a mere director.
Professor Witte was already overwhelmed by victory and thought he was going to cut a large piece of the most delicious cake.
"Okay, that's no problem. However, you guys should handle the PR work on yourselves. I'll use my influence to help you."
Professor Anthony sneered inwardly after hearing this:
If two or more vice presidents of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease form an alliance and then recruit a few executive directors as comrades, they could completely sideline the president. It's unclear who will have the final say in the medical association then. (End of this chapter)
