Park Jin Hyuk said to Mao Dayong again:
"President Mao, how is North Pharmaceutical's FDA production license?"
"The Phase 3 clinical trial has begun and is expected to take two months. If the trial goes well, the FDA's production license will be obtained soon."
Listening to Park Jin Hyuk's conversation with the two of them, Kim Jun Woo thought to himself, "It seems that Executive Director Park was right."
"Before the production license is issued, the FDA will come to inspect the production plant, right?"
"Yes, the FDA plans to conduct an inspection in three months."
"Okay, President Shi, I will discuss this with President Xuan and ask him to complete the work of increasing production capacity within two months."
"Two months is a bit too tight."
"Try harder, I believe you can do it."
Shi Zhengwan wanted to say something more, but in the end he swallowed his words and nodded to indicate that he would try his best to complete it within two months.
Park Jin Hyuk knew that if he worked overtime, it would not be impossible to complete it within two months.
At this time, people from Noso Pharmaceuticals walked out of the conference room.
Shi Zhengwan stepped forward and introduced Park Zhenhe to them.
After Kevin South shook hands with Park Jin Hyuk, he looked at Park Jin Hyuk and Shi Zhengwan.
"Excuse me, who should I talk to?"
"Just talk to me."
Park Jin Hyuk said.
Kevin South, head of Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals Asia Pacific, looked Park Jin Hyuk up and down.
Park Jin Hyuk looks so young.
Sven Peterson had been working in South Korea for some time and knew Park Jin Hyuk's background. He stepped forward and whispered a few words to Kevin South, introducing Park Jin Hyuk's identity, but Peterson still seemed uneasy.
Under Shi Zhengwan's guidance, they walked towards the meeting room together.
Park Jin Hyuk whispered to Mao Dayong:
"Does the flu always break out at this time in previous years?"
"The flu usually spreads in the fall and winter. By this time, it should have passed, but this year's situation..."
Mao Dayong lowered his voice further.
"The situation this year is more serious than in previous years and is showing signs of a pandemic. The infection rate for common flu is 9 per 1,000 people. If it reaches 30 per 1,000 people, it would be considered a pandemic."
"During a pandemic, countries are advised to stockpile therapeutic drugs?"
"No, that's not common."
"Is that so?"
A meaningful smile appeared on Park Jin Hyuk's face.
They walked into the conference room and sat down on both sides of the conference table.
As soon as he sat down, Kevin South said straight to the point:
"At the San Francisco trade show, we learned that your company can provide CMO services, and that you recently signed drug manufacturing contracts with Pfizer and North Pharmaceuticals, right?"
“Yes, while we are producing for domestic pharmaceutical companies, we have also won two new international contracts.”
“Has Pfizer certified your manufacturing process?”
“The field certification has been completed.”
"OK."
Pfizer is a competitor of Novo Nordisk.
It seems that they want to use their competitor's factory certification to replace their own certification, which shows how anxious they are.
"If we place an order with your company, can production start immediately?"
Park Jin Hyuk replied:
"If that's the case, I can't answer. Haven't both parties agreed on the terms yet?"
Kevin South was stunned by what Park Jin Hyuk said.
In his opinion, an unknown production factory in a small East Asian country would be more than happy to receive an order from a large international company like Knott's.
He glanced at Park Jin Hyuk, who was smiling.
"Before we discuss terms, I'd like to confirm that our monthly demand is for 80 million people. Do you have the production capacity?"
Shi Zhengwan's eyes suddenly widened, and Mao Dayong could not hide his excitement, because the other party's demand was greater than he expected.
Shi Zhengwan calculated quickly in his mind.
Park Jin Hyuk glanced at Shi Zhengwan, then said to Kevin South:
"Please wait a moment. President Shi is currently calculating production capacity. We believe we can meet your company's needs. If this were not possible, you would not have come to us."
After hearing this, Kevin South frowned.
Sven Petersen spoke on his behalf:
"We just visited Factory 2. Your company also has Factory 1, right?"
"Yes, Factory 1 isn't as large as this one, and it's primarily responsible for domestic production. I'm planning to increase Factory 2's production capacity. So... President Shi, what do you think? Can we do this?"
Shi Zhengwan nodded.
"It's not impossible, but the orders currently in production..."
Park Jin Hyuk grabbed his arm and interrupted him.
Without waiting for the translator to translate, Park Jin Hyuk said directly:
"Did you hear that? We can meet your company's requirements."
Kevin South shoved his hands over his chest and gestured with his chin toward Sven Peterson.
Sven Peterson took a document from his subordinate and placed it in front of Park Jin Hyuk.
"This is the production contract we have drafted. Once both parties sign, please start production immediately."
Park Jin Hyuk didn't read the contract.
"I only said I could meet your company's needs, but I didn't agree to cooperate."
"What do you mean? Didn't you invite us here because you were willing to cooperate with us?"
"It seems there's been some misunderstanding between us. Your company contacted us first, and we declined. After hearing about this, I thought I should listen to your company's requirements, so I arranged today's meeting. I'm here to understand your needs, not to sign a contract."
Park Jin Hyuk looked at Sven Peterson with a smile.
For a moment, Sven Petersen was speechless and turned to look at his boss.
Kevin South tried hard to control his anger.
These days, he has been running around looking for a new production plant. After hearing Sven Peterson's story about DS Pharmaceuticals, he immediately rushed to South Korea.
Just now, after inspecting the factory, he has decided to use DS Pharmaceuticals to replace the Indian factory.
However, Park Jin Hyuk acted as if the negotiations needed to be started from the beginning. Where did he have the time for that now?
"Please tell me, what are your conditions?"
"Then let me be frank. If we want more than just contract manufacturing, but also permission to manufacture and sell this drug in Asia, would you agree?"
"Is this your condition?"
Kevin South lowered his head and thought.
However, Park Jin Hyuk did not intend to give him time to think further.
"If our production volume exceeds 80 million units, what can your company provide us?"
"Over 80 million users? Is that even possible?"
