Chapter 181 Viagra

Xia Chuan laughed: "Yes, our country started export tax rebates in 85, and zero-rated exports in 88. Don't you see any trends here?"

Jiang Wei's eyes widened and he asked: "Exports are being encouraged more and more, but now the tax rate is zero, how can I get a refund?"

"It's refundable. Not only are there no taxes on exports, but the taxes collected in other production links will be refunded to you."

Jiang Wei was speechless. Is the country so short of foreign exchange?

But then I thought about it. After being closed to the country for decades, if there is no shortage, then it is counterfeit money.

He quickly asked: "When can this be implemented?"

"Three years later." Xia Chuan said calmly.

Historically, the export tax rebate policy was adjusted in 94 to encourage the development of export-oriented enterprises.Not only is there no tax on exports, but the taxes collected in other production links are refunded to you, so that exports soar. Wuliangye in the United States is cheaper than in China, and there are no fakes.

Chinese people have to go abroad to buy domestic products. There is no way. Companies are not mentally ill. They do make more money than selling domestic products.

Only then did Jiang Wei understand why Sequoia valued Xia Chuan so high. With his background and vision, anyone who wanted to compete with him would die.

Xia Chuan continued:

"So our focus now is not on mergers and acquisitions, because none of the existing companies in Feng City meet the standards. We need to build new factories, import the most advanced pharmaceutical equipment from Switzerland, improve our production standards, and then apply for certification by international organizations. …”

There was no Wassenaar Agreement in 91, and Switzerland was not a member of Batumi, so the most advanced pharmaceutical equipment could still be purchased.

"The second step is to develop new drugs." Xia Chuan finally came to the key point.

Jiang Wei suddenly started to sweat:

"Didn't you say that there are innovative drugs that have been successfully developed? If not, then we can't just build factories and import equipment. Research and development is a bottomless pit. Even if you spend [-] million US dollars, it won't be enough. It's very likely that we won't be able to develop anything for decades. !”

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "Don't be nervous. If there is an innovative drug, there will be one. It's just that the drug is in my head and I haven't made a sample yet."

Jiang Wei's mouth suddenly went dry. He looked at Jiang Xuemei and found that she was completely calm and calm. He couldn't help but shook his head and asked with a wry smile: "Are you a chemist or a pharmacist?"

"Well, neither. But let me ask you, if I give you the molecular formula and molecular weight of a drug, how long will it take for you to make it?"

Jiang Wei's eyes almost flew out of his eyes in shock, "Really or fake? There is no sample but a molecular formula and molecular weight?"

"Well, this must be true, don't worry."

Xia Chuan didn't say where it came from. Can he say that this was Viagra that was only available seven years later?

Jiang Wei was so sensitive that he no longer asked, and believed Xia Chuan's words, and said thoughtfully: "That depends on the complicated molecular formula."

Xia Chuan picked up the pen and wrote a line of words on the note on the coffee table: Sildenafil citrate, molecular weight 666.70, molecular formula C28H38N6O11S.

Then push it to Jiang Wei.

How could Xia Chuan remember it so clearly?

Just because he started nine businesses in his previous life, one of which was to open a pharmaceutical company, imitating Viagra.

Of course, the product cannot be exactly the same as others. If you change a few small things, the effect will be worse and the side effects will be stronger. Moreover, you cannot use other people's names and can only add them to other aphrodisiacs.

Just like hormones in health care products, you can see immediate effects after taking them.Otherwise, who would buy it if it has no effect?

But what Xia Chuan is writing now is the real molecular formula of Viagra produced by Pfizer.

At this time, Pfizer didn't know what Viagra was.

Jiang Wei was a genuine pharmacist. He guessed the use after reading it twice and asked:

"Is this medicine for heart disease?"

He felt that even if a drug for heart disease had a global monopoly patent, it would be difficult to generate a net profit of one billion US dollars per year.

Xia Chuan smiled brightly: "This medicine really cured angina at first, but later I found out that it had a side effect that was a hundred times more effective than curing angina."

Jiang Wei's eyes lit up. This medicine had a lot of history. He asked, "What are the side effects?"

"Treatment of impotence. A revolutionary breakthrough..."

Xia Chuan described in detail the principle of using it as a drug to treat erectile dysfunction, as well as its side effects, such as flushing, and some taboos, such as not drinking alcohol, and taking it with ester drugs is life-threatening, etc.

Jiang Wei was surprised and excited. Aphrodisiac drugs were the most profitable. If Xia Chuan had not exaggerated the efficacy of the drugs, he would have been able to earn a billion dollars a year!

It can be said that a few letters and numbers on this piece of paper are worth one billion US dollars.

Jiang Wei asked excitedly: "This 'sildenafil citrate' is the name of the drug. We have to have a resounding trade name. What should we call it?"

Xia Chuan chuckled: "Call me Viagra."

Jiang Wei was stunned and quickly said humbly: "That's so embarrassing, let's call him Brother Chuan."

Xuemei Jiang burst into laughter.

Damn, these two are still in perfect harmony.

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "If Viagra is translated into English, it is still Viagra. What's going on with Brother Chuan?"

Jiang Wei also smiled and said: "Okay. The patent owner will write your name."

"No, write about Yikang Group. Don't let Sequoia think we are playing hooligans."

Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Okay. Having this thing is equivalent to copying the finished drug, and it can be produced in half a year."

Xia Chuan waved his hand: "It's too slow. Fifteen days is enough. I'll tell you what to do..."

He explained the detailed production process and finally said:

"Before this thing applies for a patent, it must be kept strictly confidential. The production process and production process should be kept strictly confidential. Unreliable people should not be allowed to have access to it. We need to speed up. You will be responsible for this in the next fifteen days. Leave the rest to me, including patent application and clinical practice. The trials are progressing simultaneously.”

Jiang Wei suddenly broke into sweat. There are no samples yet. Do you want to apply for patents and clinical trials?

But he is not stubborn. Since Xia Chuan is sure that the medicine is fine, it doesn't matter if he uses some unconventional means. Anyway, the pharmaceutical industry is in such a mess now, and Yikang is no different. Xia Chuan has such a strong background and there is no need to use it in vain.

Moreover, when applying for a patent in the United States, people still have to conduct clinical trials again, so the shame will not be lost abroad.

"Then I'll call them here and give them an explanation, and then I'll live in the laboratory."

Jiang Wei simply called in all four original factory directors and formally met with Xia Chuan and Jiang Yuhua, and then he left.

Han Lede was the original factory director, and the other three were deputy factory directors.

After the acquisition and transformation, Han Lede was still the director of the factory, and the other three were still deputy directors. Nothing changed.

It's just that there is an additional Yikang Group above the pharmaceutical factory, and alongside them there is a health care product factory, which is even stronger in scale and strength than the pharmaceutical factory. It already has two branches and is expanding rapidly. It only worries about production and not sales.

If there is anyone who suffers the most when Hongqi is acquired, it is undoubtedly Han Lede.
