Imagine the world

Chapter 165 Choice
Seaman and other five staff members of Oldham Pharmaceutical Group first took a private plane provided by Locke to Miri City in Tema Country, then took a special car from the airport to the seaside, and then took a boat to Fiso Port.

This is the fastest and relatively safest route from Roba Island to Port Fiso, without going through other parts of the country.As long as the weather is suitable and the itinerary is arranged in advance, you can leave after breakfast and arrive before dinner.

The environment of the apartment building in Gaoqiao Town is very good. You can look at the wetland from the terrace, surrounded by lush vegetation.Port Fiso is tropical, but not as hot as many people think, otherwise the south coast would not be a holiday destination.

The small rainy season in early winter is of course not dry, and the day and night temperature is generally maintained between [-] and [-] degrees Celsius, which is the best time for Port Fiso.In addition to the lack of luxury hotels, Gaoqiao Town, located in the agricultural reclamation area, actually has a better environment than the southern coast.

As for the manor, the entire North Suo River Basin is a huge manor.

They have not been quarantined for a long time. They have undergone two nucleic acid tests and one serum antibody test within three days, and the results are all right.Interestingly, the blood test results showed that Mr. Seaman had been infected with the latest virus, but he had been cured.

After the quarantine, they did not leave Gaoqiao Town. There are no hotels on the southern coast, and they don't want to deal with the locals too much. They are people from two worlds. It is best not to have a relationship.

Negotiations started from the first day. Huanxiang Industry was the reception party for Seaman and others, responsible for arranging the itinerary and ensuring their safety, while the partner was the newly established Port Fiso Health Research Center.

The person in charge of the center is a local woman named Cathy, who established this charity health research center after receiving overseas sponsorship.

On the surface, this center has no affiliation with Huanxiang Industrial, but its registered place is in Gaoqiao Town. It rents the office space of Huanxiang Industrial, and the rent is free.

It is said that Ms. Cathy successfully persuaded the relevant leaders of Huanxiang Industry to make them realize the importance of health research, and thus also got a donation in the local area, which is free office space.

When Seaman first saw Cathy, he was fascinated by this charming mixed-race beauty, but when dealing with her next, he felt quite a headache.

Huanxiang Industry and the new alliance did not come forward directly, and everyone knew the role of the Health Research Center in it, but the talks started to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Oldham Pharmaceutical Group's original plan was that they would provide vaccines, new alliance providers, and international hospitals have specialized laboratories to provide data, and all results belong to Oldheim Pharmaceutical Group.

It is of course important to verify which vaccine is effective, but it is even more important to discover unknown toxic and side effects, and sometimes even tamper with the data.For example, two vaccines with similar effects can declare that one of them is more effective, while the other "may have "unknown side effects" that did not originally exist.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, often for commercial or political purposes.The thinking of capital is not consistent with the thinking of medicine.

Two drugs with similar effects, how to choose?It doesn't just look at who has good quality and low price, but whether it can own patent rights and agency rights, whether it can control the production and sales links, and whether the various groups involved can maximize their interests and invisible interests.

For example, anyone can produce a medicine and sell it for only one yuan per copy. The technology of another medicine is in the hands of oneself or an ally, and each copy can earn 1000 yuan. Don’t even think about it. Of course, you have to choose the one that can earn 1000 yuan. of.

What about the medicine that only sells for one yuan?You can think of ways to stigmatize and marginalize it, squeeze it out of the market you control, and even crowd out people's attention.

In fact, most of the time, the benefits that can be brought by the so-called free market competition controlled by capital only stay in specially written textbooks.What happens in practice is often the above-mentioned cases.

This is also the free choice of capital, and it is also the result of some form of market competition, but it is not what most people imagine.Otherwise, the former Fiso Port would not be so depraved, without any hope, because it is already at the bottom of the world.

With the development of modern industrial civilization and information technology, various fields are becoming more and more specialized, and what ordinary people can grasp is not real information but only public opinion, which is also guided by various interests.

Huazhenxing participated in this whole process, and as the negotiations unfolded, the purpose of Oldham Pharmaceutical Group was also exposed. This is also Huazhenxing's learning and experience of the world.It depends on what kind of person he will grow into after going through all this?

The reaction of the health center was beyond Seaman's expectations. Ms. Cathy ignored the demands of the Oldham Group and directly threw out the cooperation plan that had been prepared.

The health center will not organize people to test the vaccines provided by the Oldham Group, no matter how these vaccines come from.

Port Fiso Health Research Center has its own and clear channels, and cooperates with Dongguo's research and development institutions to carry out the clinical phase III and clinical phase IV trials of the three vaccines provided by Dongguo.

The new alliance will organize [-] volunteers, divide them into six control groups, conduct large-scale trials and record comprehensive data.The choice given by the health center to the Oldham Group is that they can participate, including the partners of international hospitals.

Oldham Group can participate in the whole process and share data. They do not need to provide vaccines, they only need to pay volunteers and part of the trial costs.

With 300 volunteers, the total subsidy cost is 500 million gold, which is already quite low, and the average per capita is only [-] gold.

This is because the local per capita income is very low. According to incomplete statistics last year, the per capita annual income of Fiso Port was only 200 meters gold.After the establishment of Huanxiang Industry this year, the local per capita income should increase significantly, but the improvement and coverage are only partial for the time being.

Relatively speaking, the cost of vaccine transportation, storage, testing, and organizational coordination is much higher than that of volunteer subsidies.The health center did not have a big opening, and the cost of the Oldham Group's full participation and sharing of complete data was only 1000 million US dollars.

For a mere 1000 million gold, you can participate in the whole process and get all the data of the 6000-person experiment, which is quite a bargain.But Seaman was in a hurry, this was not the result he wanted at all, nor the way he wanted.

Seaman's original idea was to spend a sum of money to "buy" the leader of the new alliance, and organize a group of people to conduct drug experiments in an undisclosed state, just like the "business" that was often done before.

He didn't expect it to be such a large scale. The original plan was to have hundreds or even thousands of people. The whole process of the experiment was led by the Oldham Group, and all the data was controlled by them.The new alliance only needs to provide people, and there is no need to worry about anything else, and you don't even need to know.

He also didn't intend to focus on testing Dongguo's vaccine. If other vaccines were safe and reliable, he even wanted to give Dongguo's vaccine test data something that only they knew.

Seaman does not agree to such cooperation.But Cathy told him that regardless of whether the Oldham Group participated or not, the health center would carry out this project. The reason why they agreed to participate was because Feng Zibin, the controller of Huanxiang Industrial, said hello.

This is different from the result negotiated in Brussels!So Seaman went to find Yang Tehong again.Yang Tehong was not free, so Tang Senzhi, vice president of Huanxiang Industry, received him.

Tang Senzhi told Seaman that the plan did not change quickly. Before he came, the local government had already reached another vaccine trial cooperation project through the Dongguo Aid Project Engineering Department. It was an open and formal cooperation.

Out of humanitarian spirit and in consideration of previous commitments, the health center agreed to the participation of Oldham Pharmaceutical Group and shared first-hand data throughout the process.

Tang Senzhi finally asked Oheim: "Isn't the purpose of your coming here because the epidemic situation in Beli country is out of control, so you want to determine a safe and effective vaccine as soon as possible? Then this project can meet your requirements. If you still have We may not be able to meet other goals.”

Seaman didn't know what to say, so he asked directly: "Are you really assured of cooperating with Dongguo? Can you trust their vaccines?"

Tang Senzhi smiled: "I'm from Dongguo, didn't you also come to work with me?"

Seaman: "It's different, it's different. We have the most advanced technology and the best experts. The original plan was for us to lead the whole process."

Tang Senzhi: "Has the Oldham Group's own vaccine entered the clinical stage? If not, don't say that. You have also seen that there are a large number of Dongguo construction aid workers here. The main project of Huanxiang Industry, All built by them.

It is precisely because of this relationship that we have won this cooperation opportunity through diplomatic channels.

Dongguo provides clinically proven vaccines, which are given priority to the overseas construction aid workers.We strive to expand the scale and will also provide more comprehensive validation data.This is an open, fully formal collaboration. "

Tang Senzhi is telling the truth. It is precisely because of the Dongguo-aided construction project here, and there will be more engineering cooperation in the future, that this opportunity for vaccine cooperation is available.

Being able to openly recruit 500 volunteers is the organization and mobilization ability of the new alliance.In fact, even if the new alliance does not mobilize, the more than [-] construction aid workers are still willing to receive the vaccine provided by Dongguo.

They all have their own information channels, including introductions from relatives and friends. They learned that small-scale vaccinations have been organized in Dongguo.Of course, the epidemic in Dongguo has been basically brought under control, and there is no need for mass vaccination.

But it is impossible for Seaman to have such awareness. It is normal for him to have doubts and even objections to this project.Which country's vaccine to use is also a political choice in a sense.

Think about it in another way. If Dongguo does not have its own vaccine and the epidemic is out of control, it is necessary to choose a brand-new vaccine from other countries and carry out large-scale or even universal vaccination. It will definitely be cautious. It is impossible to use it directly. considerations.

Seaman could not and did not have the authority to make this decision, so he could only emphasize again: "Mr. Tang, this is different from the result of your negotiation with Mr. Oldham in Brussels."

Tang Senzhi smiled and said: "As long as the cooperation plan has not been formally finalized, we can continue to discuss the details. We told Mr. Oldheim that way at the beginning. If you can't make a decision, you can ask Mr. Oldheim to discuss it in person, and it should be up to you He's coming to talk in person."
