Chapter 246: How much does it cost to obtain technology transfer?

The discovery of AIDS drugs has attracted great attention from all over the world.
With the convening of the press conference, countless people are excited and looking forward to it.
However, when Zhang Jianfu answered reporters' questions, some people were very dissatisfied with the vague remarks about the source of technology.
Of course, this does not affect the authority of the press conference.
With the convening of the press conference, the news of the imminent availability of AIDS drugs has truly spread all over the world.
In addition to numerous reports in domestic news, many foreign heavyweight media such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Guardian have successively carried out large-scale reports.
[AIDS is saved]
[A special medicine for AIDS is coming soon]
[The savior of 37.9 million people living with HIV worldwide is here]
【……】
Within 48 hours after the press conference, more than 300 medical institutions and units in more than 100 countries and regions around the world submitted applications for cooperation with Huanyu Bio.
At the same time, the relevant Chinese departments also sent people to contact and negotiate.
You must know that the invention of the AIDS drug by Huanyu Biotechnology is not only related to their company, but also related to national interests.
For example, China and the European Union signed the "China-EU Technology Cooperation Agreement" in 1998, which includes medical technology cooperation.
There is no relevant agreement on the U.S. side. Huanyu Bio will not be sold to the U.S. without permission. The U.S. side must come up with some technology or medical equipment for equivalent exchange in order to obtain the right to import AIDS drugs.
Now that the relevant departments have come over, in addition to telling the relevant rights and obligations, there is another important thing to accompany the EU Framework Planning Committee to discuss the issue of technology authorization.
At 2 pm on the 27th, Block A, Hengfeng Building, Jinhu District.
The spacious and luxurious conference room was crowded with people. In addition to leaders and entourages from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the W Health Committee, the government and other related departments, there were also a group of foreigners with high noses and blue eyes.
These people are naturally commissioners of the EU Framework Planning Commission.
Mainly there are Commission Director-General Fast and Deputy Commissioner Lucia.
"Your world creatures are really good."
"Thank you for the compliment of the leader. We still have many shortcomings and need to learn and improve."
"Mr. Zhang, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Fast, the Director-General of the European Framework Commission, and this is Ms. Lucia, the Deputy Commissioner."
"Hello, hello~"
"Hello there……"
After some greetings, the leaders of China and the local government all had tea and chat with a smile. As for specific matters, naturally there will be someone who will talk to Huanyu Biology in private, and they do not need to worry about them.
The people in the EU Framework Planning Committee have nothing to do with them.
The agreement was signed by the previous leader, and the benefits and honors were also taken up by the predecessors. They brought the EU people over to do a little duty. As for whether the EU people and Huanyu Biotech can negotiate a result, it is not their business.
Besides, the international situation is changing. Even the United Kingdom has left the European Union. The agreement signed 20 years ago is no more than a superficial one. In fact, it does not have any binding force on both sides.
Director General Fast, who has gray hair and a beautiful beard, pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said straightforwardly: "Mr. Zhang, we are here this time, mainly to discuss the technology of AIDS special medicine and The recipe is authorized."
Zhang Jianfu of course knows the science and technology cooperation agreement between China and the European Union, so it is not surprising what Fast said.
Very happily agreed: "Yes!"
It was the turn of the Director General of Fast to be surprised. He originally thought Zhang Jianfu would refuse, but he didn't expect that the other party would agree so readily. He was overjoyed and the corners of his mouth began to curl up.
But before the smile on Fast's face fully unfolded, Zhang Jianfu followed closely: "But well..."
Director-General Fast's heart suddenly tightened, and he secretly said "coming", with a slight smile on his face, and proactively said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang, we will give a certain amount of financial compensation."
Zhang Jianfu turned around and asked, "How much?"
Fast: "One million euros."
Zhang Jianfu laughed and said: "Mr. Fast, as far as I know, the EU's Sixth Framework Program has an annual basic research funding of 700 million euros, of which the annual funding for HIV research is about 30 million euros.
This fee is borne by each member state of the European Union in proportion to their GDP.
You have digested so much money internally, but did not provide us with a penny of research funding.
Now, like a beggar, he gave us 1 million euros and wanted to take away our technological achievements. Do you think it is appropriate? "
An embarrassment appeared on Fast's old face, "Uh..."
Deputy Commissioner Lucia, wearing a black dress and meat stockings, immediately said: "Mr. Zhang, since you are familiar with the rules of operation of our committee, you should know that we are a non-profit organization. One million euros is a compensation, not a technology purchase. I hope you understand."
Zhang Jianfu: "Of course I understand! But the drugs produced are not free, are they? And most of the original research drugs imported from our country are at their own expense. Is this not true? So you don't need to tell me about non-profit organizations. , We all know exactly what is going on."
Lucia frowned and said, "But you have to know that China and the EU have signed an agreement, and you must unconditionally provide us with the technical formula."
Zhang Jianfu smiled and said, "Ms. Lucia, if you say so, we won't have anything to talk about. Why don't you go back and discuss it?"
Lucia looked a little ugly, frowned and stopped talking.
Fast asked: "Then Mr. Zhang, can you tell me how much it costs to get technology transfer?"
Zhang Jianfu simply said: "We provide us with 30 million euros of research and development funds each year for a period of three years. In addition, for each medicine sold, we have to take a sales share of 2000 euros. How about it, isn't it excessive?"
Fast: "..."
Lucia: "..."
Isn't this too much?
It's crazy.
Not only does it require a license fee of 90 million yuan, but also a sales share of 2,000 euros for a drug, which is almost black.
According to this calculation, a potion must be sold for at least 5,000 euros before it can be paid back. How many people can afford it at this price?
Fast stood up and said, "Sorry, let's go one step ahead."
Zhang Jianfu stood up and said with a smile: "Okay then! But to be honest, Mr. Fast, the price we offered is quite fair."
Fast is noncommittal.

Huanyu Biologics Laboratory.
In the office, secretary Chu Lin is reporting the results of the negotiation to Zhou Wen.
"Zhang said that the EU is likely to put pressure on us through the government, but he has sent people to communicate in advance, and the problem is not big. Now he is still a little worried about the efficacy of the drug and hopes to start clinical trials as soon as possible."
Zhou Wen smiled and said: "You tell him that there is no need to worry about the efficacy of the drug! As for the phase I clinical trial, it will be almost the middle of next month."
"Okay, I get it!" Chu Lin gathered up the materials, and then asked: "Are you okay?"
Zhou Wen flipped through the notepad and said, "It's okay, you can go back!"
"Ok!"
After Chu Lin left, Zhou Wen got up and went to the second phase of the experimental building, the AIDS Research Institute.
In the laboratory, a group of drug research experts are all excited.
Because the drug has passed the treatment experiment, I skipped the [drug discovery phase], that is, the arduous experimental steps of drug source, chemical synthesis, target screening, lead screening, etc., and directly started [preclinical research].
That is, safety evaluation.
Seeing Zhou Wen coming over, the person in charge Dr. Wang Rong said excitedly: "After preliminary tests, the safety meets the experimental requirements."
Although it has undergone human trials in Botswana, safety is guaranteed.
But that is a private experiment after all, and it is impossible to conduct clinical trials without the certification of an authoritative organization.
Now, we are only one step away from clinical trials.
The most important thing is that the result is doomed, and this is the most important thing.
Zhou Wen nodded.
After talking with Dr. Wang Rong, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com immediately left the AIDS Institute and went to the Anti-Allergy Institute next door.
Chen Ruobing is immersed in researching compounds in front of the computer.
This is the anti-allergic cough of her previous research institute. The target was discovered by Zhou Wen for her help. She has also published many papers for this, which has been highly recognized by the domestic and foreign medical circles.
Of course, the discovery of drug target data does not mean that drugs can be developed. This is not a concept.
Because the "synthesis of compounds" and "screening of active compounds" are needed later...
Under normal circumstances, the discovery of drug target data is only the first step in the Long March.
But now with the help of Zhou Wen, a pharmaceutical genius, she no longer walks the Long March on foot. Instead, she drove into a car and ran forward 120 steps...
