I really don't want to be a doctor

Chapter 380 Pfizer Withdraws

Pfizer, one of the most prestigious pharmaceutical companies in the world, has an annual pharmaceutical turnover of tens of billions of dollars.

And Hamer is one of the executives of Pfizer's US headquarters. As a black American, being able to sit in this situation is enough to prove his impressiveness.

But it is such a figure who is in charge of the wind and rain in the American medical field, but today he personally came to Huaxia Fancheng and came to the Shenzhou Laboratory.

Jing Xiaoran returned to the Shenzhou Laboratory, and Hammer was visiting under the leadership of Zhu Xianqing.

Zhu Xianqing used to be an old employee of Pfizer, and met Hamer, and the two have been friends for many years.

"Zhu, it's been half a year since you returned to Huaxia, how do you feel?"

Hammer stood beside Zhu Xianqing. He was relatively short, as much as half a head shorter than Zhu Xianqing.

Zhu Xianqing smiled slightly, turned his head and said with a smile: "Old Hamer, I think it's pretty good."

"Really?" Hammer laughed, "You can tell me if you encounter any difficulties. Pfizer's door is always open to you, and you are welcome to come back at any time."

For high-tech talents like Zhu Xianqing, Pfizer has always been willing to come, and even invite headhunting companies all over the world to poach people.

At the beginning, Pfizer was also very distressed about Zhu Xianqing's departure.

"Just go back to the United States!" Zhu Xianqing slowed down, shook his head and said, "Hammer, you have also seen that although the current Shenzhou laboratory is not as good as the United States in many places, everything is thriving, not to mention the wife and children. I'm beside you too!"

"You like Shenzhou Laboratory so much?" Hammer's expression was a little puzzled, "I heard that Huaxia Laboratory's salary is not high, and there is no very transparent salary management system. Anyway, I am the person in charge of the Pfizer project. The place is reserved for you."

It is an open secret in the industry that Huaxia's scientific research personnel are paid poorly, so Huaxia cannot retain some top talents.

"Hammer, this is the Shenzhou laboratory, not any other laboratory in China." After listening to Hammer's words, Zhu Xianqing smiled slightly: "I have been friends with you for many years, and I am not afraid to tell you that although our salary is not as good as European and American countries, but 30%-50% higher than domestic R&D personnel!"

Hammer was taken aback, "So much higher?"

"Yeah, so, I advise you not to think about us." Zhu Xianqing said.

"Okay, okay." Hammer shook his head slightly, "It seems that I can't poach you anymore."

Zhu Xianqing smiled, but did not speak.

"Hey, that's right." Hammer changed his subject, "How is your immune check inhibitor project going?"

"Old Hamer, are you spying on the military?" Zhu Xianqing stopped, with a smile on his face, "I know that Pfizer is also conducting experiments on immune checkpoint inhibitors, and the progress of the project should not be slow?"

Hammer heard the words, the smile on his face decreased a little, and he said helplessly: "If you said this half a year ago, I would still admit it, but now, hey, let me tell you the truth, Pfizer's immune checkpoint inhibitor I'm afraid the project will be shelved."

"Abandoned?" Zhu Xianqing had a very surprised look on his face.

This scientific research project is not something that can be stopped, especially for such a project with huge investment. Once it is stopped, all the material and manpower in the early stage will be wasted!

unless……

Unless there are irresistible factors, such as another pharmaceutical company developing an immune checkpoint inhibitor in advance, stopping at this time means stopping the loss in time!
Hammer sighed deeply, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "This immune checkpoint inhibitor project, we at Pfizer were able to keep up with the pace of research in the early stage, but later encountered more and more difficulties, and... "

Hamer paused, and continued: "Moreover, there are disagreements within Pfizer. About half of the directors are not optimistic about this project, and want to suspend resource investment and invest funds in molecular targeted drugs instead. Although in the end After lobbying, the immune checkpoint inhibitor project can continue, but it has been unable to keep up with the pace of the global scientific research competition."

This kind of scientific research competition is changing with each passing day. Once you fall behind, it will be difficult to catch up.

"So Pfizer gave up on this project?" Zhu Xianqing asked.

"Well." Hamer nodded, "We have initially concluded that only three laboratories are capable of conducting immune checkpoint inhibitor projects based on the current research data from major pharmaceutical companies and laboratories."

"Which three?" Zhu Xianqing narrowed his eyes.

Although the Shenzhou Laboratory has been carrying out methodical research, it is still not clear about the progress of this kind of external scientific research, such a big pharmaceutical company.

"Respectively, Bayer, AstraZeneca..." Hammer paused, looked up at Zhu Xianqing.

"The remaining one is..." Zhu Xianqing asked tentatively.

"Huaxia Shenzhou Laboratory..."

Hamer blurted out, and Zhu Xianqing showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.

The current Shenzhou Laboratory is already able to wrestle with such a giant company!

Zhu Xianqing recalled that when he first came to the Shenzhou Laboratory, there were less than ten people, and there was a lot of waste to be done. There were no laboratory equipment, but no human resources.

But now, in just one year, the Shenzhou Laboratory has grown to this point, which is nothing short of a miracle.

Shenzhou Laboratories also encountered numerous difficulties in the process of developing immune checkpoint inhibitors.

How are these problems overcome?
Zhu Xianqing thought of Jing Xiaoran, all the successes were almost all based on Jing Xiaoran's strong scientific thinking ability.

If Jing Xiaoran faced any scientific research problem, he would be able to put forward constructive suggestions, and even if it could not be completely solved, he would still be able to give corresponding experimental ideas.

"Zhu, in fact, I came this time not only to invite Jing Xiaoran to participate in the cardiovascular annual meeting on behalf of Pfizer, but more importantly, to discuss about immune checkpoint inhibitors." Hammer said slowly.

Zhu Xianqing looked suspicious, "Haven't you already given up on this project? Is there any need for discussion?"

Hammer shook his head helplessly, and said: "To tell you the truth, I am in charge of Pfizer's immune checkpoint inhibitor project. Among the senior management of Pfizer, I have always been a supporter of the immune checkpoint inhibitor project. I firmly believe that this Drugs can bring revolutionary changes to the field of anti-tumor! But now the project has been aborted, and Pfizer’s internal board of directors has great opinions on me. If there is no remedy, my position may not be stable.”

Medicine represents this kind of profession, which is already covered with the label of "cannibalism" of capitalism.

Once it fails to bring profits to the company, it will immediately be brought out of the high-level power circle.

"Then what do you mean..." Zhu Xianqing somewhat understood.

Talking about cooperation, the only laboratory that can cooperate with Pfizer at present is Shenzhou Laboratory.

Bayer and AstraZeneca are strong, and they are not inferior to Pfizer at all, so there is no need to cooperate.
