After hearing this, Director Yuan burst into laughter.
"Commissioner Lin, your idea is great. Foreigners need to smuggle our medicines to buy them, just like when they wanted to buy penicillin, they had to go to a big city like Shanghai and find smugglers.
In the future, foreigners who want to buy our medicine can only go to big cities like Hong Kong, Los Angeles, or Paris to find smugglers. It feels pretty good, haha.
But here's the problem: we can't underestimate the shamelessness and technological prowess of Western developed countries. As long as there's profit to be made, they'll definitely find a way to copy our antibiotics. What will we do then?"
Lin Sanqi laughed and said:
"I have already thought about the concerns you mentioned. I am confident that we won't have to worry about foreigners imitating our products for at least the next five years. Why?
First of all, I have applied for a patent, and it is a global patent. Currently, Hong Kong Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company has three shareholders, one from Hong Kong, one from the United States, and one from the United States.
If the shareholder is Chinese, then the foreign pharmaceutical company that owns the patent may not recognize it, and may even deliberately disgust you by producing and selling it. If you have the ability to sue someone in a foreign country, you will lose every time.
But the patent holders are three European and American pharmaceutical companies, which means they are the same people. Foreign pharmaceutical companies must abide by the rules of the game, respect our patents, and dare not imitate them, otherwise they will lose the lawsuit.
The only thing they can do is to circumvent our patent and invent another cephalosporin, but this is easier said than done.
Because I also applied for a patent for the drug production process, they will not be able to circumvent it within 5 or even 10 years.
There is another thing, as you have seen, the raw material pharmaceutical factory that I introduced from the base, the refining machines there are unique in the world.
It has surpassed all developed Western countries and they are unable to produce it.
For example, we can now produce oral antibiotics, while European and American pharmaceutical companies can only produce injections so far.
It is because their drug extraction and production processes are not up to standard that they cannot produce it at all. This is our advantage.
Even if European and American pharmaceutical companies find another cephalosporin and bypass my production process patent, they lack a complete set of raw material extraction machines and cannot produce it industrially on a large scale. This is very fatal.
Even if you invent a brand new cephalothin and market it, the cost will be incredibly high. How much will you sell it for? If you price it too low, you'll lose money. If you price it too high, your product won't be competitive."
Director Yuan was knowledgeable and became excited when he heard this:
"Commissioner Lin, does this mean we can monopolize these antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs for at least five years?"
Lin Sanqi also laughed and said:
"Yes, it will take five years to establish a foundation, and 10 years is possible. After 10 years, the first-generation cephalosporins should be commercialized, and we are not afraid. Because what I have is the second-generation cephalosporin, which is ahead of them.
Even if they have developed the second-generation cephalosporin, I still have the third-generation cephalosporin, the fourth-generation cephalosporin, the fifth-generation cephalosporin, and so on. In short, I am always one step ahead.
When antibiotics become widely available and dirt cheap in the future, we will have already completed our initial capital accumulation and it won’t matter anymore.”
Shen Guoming pondered for a moment before speaking:
"From the way you sound, it sounds like you're thinking the same way as those pirate colonial powers did back then. First, plunder, then get rich, then develop yourself, and finally, dictate to others."
Lin Sanqi pretended to be surprised and said:
"Ah, Godfather, you're pretty good at political science."
Hehehe~~~
The three of them chuckled, and Lin Sanqi continued:
"I'm going to Hong Kong for a while, so Bao'an County will be handed over to you. It takes some time for antibacterial drugs to go from trial production to full production, so it's a good opportunity for you to accumulate experience and technology. When I return, we will start supplying them to the mainland."
Shen Guoming said easily: “Okay, I’ll take care of everything, don’t worry.”
That night, Lin Sanqi drove a large airplane to Hong Kong.
The next morning, Lin Sanqi was woken up by his daughter Xiao Susu.
The little guy will be one year old next month. Now is the age when he can crawl and play, so while Lin Sanqi was still asleep, the little guy had already crawled onto his face and sat down on it.
Lin Sanqi felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him while he was sleeping, and he almost suffocated to death.
If it were a son, the fight would have started by now.
But his daughter was treated differently. Lin Sanqi hugged his daughter and kept tickling her:
"You little rascal, Daddy was almost crushed to death by you, hehehe."
Little Su Su was so tickled that she giggled and kept shouting, "Daddy, Daddy..."
I can't find any more words to say it.
While the father and daughter were making a fuss, Lin Sanqi suddenly frowned because the noise outside was very loud, as if there were many people making a fuss, and there were also sounds of cursing from time to time.
Lin Jiaqi lived on the third floor, so he held his daughter and looked downstairs, and was shocked.
The narrow Temple Street was already crowded with people. The scene was as lively as the Guangzhou Railway Station in the 1990s.
Pan Ye happened to open the door and walked in at this time. Seeing her husband at the window, she smiled faintly:
"Why don't you sleep a little longer? Did little Susu wake you up?"
Lin Sanqi kissed his daughter in his arms and felt very satisfied. The chubby girl was very cute and loved to laugh.
Moreover, this little guy looks very strange, and looks almost like his grandmother Jin Caifeng.
So even though they already have five grandchildren, the old man and his wife love their second granddaughter the most and they really want to hold her in their arms 24 hours a day.
"Hey, honey, what's going on downstairs? Is our clinic having a promotion? Are you giving away eggs with a visit? Why are there so many people?"
Pan Ye took his daughter in and changed her diaper (which Lin Sanqi had brought from another time and space), while replying:
"You've been living in the mainland and don't know about the business in Hong Kong. Now our Lingnan Hall Clinic and Pharmacy are doing very well. Half of the people lining up here are seeking medical treatment, and half are here to buy medicine.
Especially our four secret formula pills, because Dad's policy is to limit the supply, each person can only buy a few pills, so those scalpers, as well as employees and servants of wealthy families, line up every day to buy them."
Lin Sanqi finished dressing, stood up and said:
"I'm going downstairs to talk to Dad first, then we'll go across the harbour to Hong Kong Island and go shopping."
Pan Ye has been in Hong Kong for more than a year. He usually doesn't go out to play alone. At most, he would go shopping in Kowloon, and that is only when accompanied by someone.
Although the Lin family was rich, she still dressed very simply and did not wear any jewelry.
Such a wife who saves trouble and money, and has a good temper and never makes trouble or complains, is simply the image of a perfect wife. Chen Xiang is really confused.
After Lin Sanqi came downstairs, the veterans at the stairs greeted him one after another:
"Boss, you're here!"
"Good morning, boss."
This is a 10-person team, with Liu Genchun as the team leader. Their purpose is to guard the stairs, protect the Lin family's house and family members, and prevent anyone from breaking into the upstairs.
Now the Lin family and four members of the Pan family live upstairs. If something really happens, they will all be wiped out.
Don't be fooled by the long steel pipes they are holding in their hands.
In fact, this steel pipe can be divided into two parts, with a long knife inside. You can use the steel pipe to deal with small gangsters, and pull out the knife when you encounter medium-sized gangsters.
If you encounter a tough problem, just turn the two steel pipes over and put them together, then tighten them to form a weapon similar to the "Mo Dao", which is very powerful for chopping people.
If a serious situation really occurs, the cabinet in the security booth next to it will be filled with the latest weapons purchased by Lin Sanqi from Israel in another time and space. There are all kinds of guns, and even several RPGs.
In addition, there are at least 100 people stationed on the entire Temple Street, including the section in front of the Lingnan Hall Medical Clinic, so almost no one can run wild on Temple Street.
Lin Sanqi walked over and patted the shoulders of the security guards one by one, then asked with a smile:
"Have any gangs come to collect protection money recently?"
As soon as these words came out, all the security guards burst into laughter, and Liu Genchun said proudly:
"Boss, we're lucky we don't have to collect protection fees from them now. Who would dare to come to Temple Street to pump water? Those gang members are now walking around Temple Street."
Lin Sanqi felt relieved when he heard this.
There are too many gang members in Hong Kong, and they value the so-called brotherhood very much. If you beat up a small one, a group of big ones will come, and if you beat up an big one, another group of old ones will come.
I’m afraid they’re like endless flies, impossible to drive away, and impossible to massacre, which is very annoying.
"That's good. No matter what, we must put safety first. I don't want to lose a brother."
Liu Genchun said confidently:
"Don't worry, boss. Our leader, Wang Jin, has personally discussed this with several Kowloon associations. We're only responsible for the 500-meter area around our Temple Street entrance. We won't be involved in other areas, and we won't infringe on their interests.
Lin Sanqi nodded, thinking to himself, how could it be so easy to negotiate with members of a gang? It must have been a hard struggle before they could reach an agreement.
But Lin Sanqi didn't care about these trivial matters and walked towards the clinic.
He has many things to discuss with his father. (End of this chapter)
