Dimensional Alliance

As for whether the outsiders will ask them to undertake a part of the production and storage costs of the medicine, there is not much pressure on them. After all, the Western medical alliance is far more developed than the APA in the field of biopharmaceuticals. If even they cannot satisfy People from another world, then I am afraid that no one on this planet can meet the requirements of people from another world.

The only troublesome question is whether the outsiders may put forward additional political conditions, but as long as the demands made by the outsiders are not excessive, then as long as the pharmaceutical groups present can unite as one, they will have a good chance of persuading the UNION or AEU government to provide Provide support yourself.

------

When Gray and Doug arrived at a private gathering place, the heads of almost all multinational pharmaceutical groups in the Western world had already gathered here. Some of the dozen or so people present were holding wine glasses in their hands, but there was no liquid in the glasses at all. Seeing that Gray arrived with his 'new partner' again, many medical representatives took the initiative to greet Gray.

Any one of these companies has the ability to destabilize a certain regional country. When they join forces to put pressure on a certain entity, just imagining it is enough to make people feel like they are in the abyss.

However, when this imagination gradually became reality, the representatives of various pharmaceutical groups present frowned.

Although it has been determined that the global medical field will unite to put pressure on APA, no matter what the price is, it is necessary to snatch the relevant drug agency rights of outsiders from APA this time, but how to do it is still a matter of feeling. Very tricky business.

On the surface, a series of medicines from different worlds, represented by medicines for eliminating diseases, have nothing to do with APA. Except for one sales channel, APA does not seem to be involved in any way of drug manufacturing, but APA is now stuck. Fang represents a channel for communicating with people from the outside world. Even if they can provide more favorable conditions to the people from the outside world, it is impossible for them to get in touch with people from the outside world without APA's nod.

"I admit that APA's move is very subtle, which caught us off guard, but they were too eager and deliberate," Gray took a half-full glass of red wine from the waiter and knocked He knocked on the wall of the cup and announced that the discussion time was over, "The problem now is obvious. It is absolutely impossible for outsiders to be satisfied with only one APA market. If the domestic market of APA alone can satisfy the needs of outsiders. Appetite, it is impossible for them to promote the medicine with great fanfare without obtaining all the authorizations for the medicine."

Gray waved his other empty hand at this time, with a passionate look pointing out: "Everyone, think about it carefully, what are the companies or countries in the world that have global distribution capabilities, even after being integrated by APA? In the Asian region, its economic strength has improved to a certain extent, but unless the medicines of the aliens can be sold at the price of cabbage, the number of people in the Asian region who can afford these high-end medicines is still very limited——I think this is the reason for APA and aliens. This is an important reason why people in the world have not been able to reach an agreement.”

"In the final analysis, the influence of the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South Asia and other places on the overall world market is still pitifully weak. If APA hadn't forced them to give them a hand, they might not even be considered pawns. In today's world, the most The most important thing is undoubtedly the European and American regions under the control of UNION and AEU.”

"This means that the outsiders are bound to be unable to provide APA with comprehensive support in the medical field, even though the disease-removing medicine currently sold by the outsiders in cooperation with APA has been proven to be able to treat most bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites." Diseases caused by exogenous pathogens, but in addition to diseases, there are many things involved in the field of medicine that APA cannot independently manufacture."

"Until last month, APA still relied on imports for 70% of its medical devices. Among the 30% of medical devices that APA can produce, 80% still need to obtain technical authorization from our companies or need to purchase core components from us. More than 90% of imported high-end equipment such as CT and echocardiography put into use every month, and more than [-]% of the equipment or auxiliary devices in the cardiovascular field are also UNION or AEU brands.”

"Although Johnson & Johnson lags behind outsiders in the research of drugs to eliminate diseases, we are not completely without resources to negotiate with APA, including heart stents, dry biochemical instruments, etc. are all necessary equipment for APA, and have not been accepted. Totally kicked out."

Gray's judgment caused many people present to frown, and Doug Dick, who had already had a lot of exchanges with Gray in the car, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know how you plan to use this last capital? "

Gray no longer kept his secrets, and said firmly: "We are going to give up all the pharmaceutical patents in our hands."

"What?"

All the people present were confused by Gray's earth-shattering declaration. As Gray said, in addition to the field of medicine, Johnson & Johnson also has layout in the fields of maternity and children, health care, and vision correction, but medicine has always been an important strategic development direction of the Johnson & Johnson Group. It's not like giving up and giving up.

But what did Gray just say?Johnson & Johnson is going to give up all the pharmaceutical patents in their hands?Did they completely break the pot after discovering that they could not compete with the new medicines of the outsiders?But only a few minutes ago Gray threatened to teach the APA a memorable lesson!

Gray's inconsistent speech made everyone look puzzled. After they exclaimed, they looked at Gray again, as if they were waiting for Gray's explanation.

Under the questioning eyes of others, Grapin raised the quilt in his hand and said with pride: "Johnson & Johnson hopes to establish a formal pharmaceutical alliance. Johnson & Johnson will inject all of its pharmaceutical patents into the alliance and contribute to the alliance. Members open all injected patented technologies for free."

"I hope that everyone here can join this alliance. In addition to injecting patents or projects under research for free within the alliance, it is also possible to authorize technology among members. For members outside the alliance, I We hope that we can implement the strictest technical blockade, and all patents in the alliance will no longer be authorized to any third party who is not a member of the alliance."

"And if the APA wants to continue to obtain the relevant authorization, it must open the communication channel with the outsiders to us, and inject the relevant technology into the alliance, otherwise they will not be able to continue to receive any technical support from us, any."

——! !

Doug and the others had a quick exchange of ideas, and it didn't take long for Gray's—or Johnson's—plan to become clear.

Undoubtedly, this proposal made everyone feel a little moved. This proposal not only allowed them to get a lot of patents that they were jealous of in the past, but also made them feel confident to force APA to retreat.

After smoothing out the patent barriers with each other, it is conceivable that for a long time in the future, all kinds of international medical devices will usher in a wave of price cuts. As long as the operation is obtained, Johnson & Johnson's voluntary abandonment of patents will naturally make this alliance stand In this way, even if APA is dissatisfied with their behavior, they cannot use state power to force them to disband the medical alliance.

More than a dozen core pharmaceutical groups license each other's patents. Under the seemingly open appearance, they actually monopolize the entire pharmaceutical industry and raise the entry threshold for all pharmaceutical industries. Alliance, it is difficult for APA to continue to obtain enough medical devices from other sources.

From this point of view, even if APA obtained a new type of alien medicine, it must be a lesson for APA, it would not be difficult, right?

"The head of the APA is a smart guy, he better know how to choose."

Gray shook the wine glass in his hand and concluded with a smile.

After the new crown, it is particularly difficult to concentrate. After sitting in front of the computer for a while, I either start to feel sleepy, or I don’t know what to think about. I have only finished coding a chapter since coding in the morning, and the two updates have failed. I think I can’t make up for the energy saving on New Year’s Day (Lie) @

Volume 1086 Conquering Hell: Chapter 1031 Chapter [-] The Pit

1031

Under the collective pressure of Western pharmaceutical groups and the mediation of UNION and AEU government representatives, Gray had another opportunity to talk to the head of the APA Commerce Department on the second day after the establishment of the Pharmaceutical Alliance.

The scene of being kicked out by the APA a few days ago is still firmly in Lei's mind, so when Gray arrived at the meeting room of the APA Commerce Department, Gray, who no longer had any worries, walked towards the person in charge of the APA proudly. A pair of self-satisfied look.

Behind Gray, other medical representatives watched him all the way into the reception room. Although they didn't have any self-consciousness on their faces, at least they didn't have a domineering aura.

"Mr. Zhang, we meet again." Without waiting for the person in charge of APA to greet him, Gray sat down opposite the person in charge.

After seeing Gray's performance, the person in charge of APA was not angry, but just glanced at Gray's confident face, and then smiled lightly: "Tell me, what is the new condition that Johnson & Johnson gave us? But Judging from your performance, the answer given by Johnson & Johnson may not satisfy us."

Gray couldn't help showing a smug expression again when he heard the words. In his opinion, the tone of the person in charge of APA, who seemed to be complaining like a daughter-in-law, was a sign of softness. It is a great honor for Gray to bow his head at the APA.

"Since Mr. Zhang has already guessed it, then I won't beat around the bush." ​​Gray leaned himself on the back chair, crossed his fingers on the table, and said with a certain chance of winning: "Johnson & Johnson has decided to give up its own business including heart stents, bionic spine, All patents in the medical field including automatic biochemical instruments will open all the technologies mastered by Johnson & Johnson to enterprises or organizations with certain technical capabilities free of charge, so as to promote the progress and development of the human medical field and seek for human life and health. greater good."

"Johnson & Johnson believes that medical technology is the common wealth of all mankind, and we should not completely ignore the future of mankind for our own selfishness. We have realized this and decided to make our due contribution to all mankind in the field of medicine. "

Gray first put himself on the hat of a moral pioneer, and blocked all the reasons that the person in charge of the APA could refute: "Not only Johnson & Johnson, but a total of 25 multinational pharmaceutical groups such as Modena and AstraZeneca have also decided to join this great effort. We are also in contact with other powerful pharmaceutical companies, and it is estimated that by the end of this year, 28 to [-] pharmaceutical companies will join the program.”

The combination of more than a dozen pharmaceutical groups makes Gray's tone full of confidence. With the banner of "for all mankind", Gray is confident that he is already in an invincible position: "Looking at our development over the years , Johnson & Johnson believes that we have wasted too many resources on meaningless competition and duplication of research. Therefore, as a responsible multinational company, we jointly believe that the release of technical barriers in the field of medicine and the unification of standards will have a great impact on human society. The development is the most beneficial."

"Of course, in order to ensure that various pharmaceutical companies will not go bankrupt, and to prevent some companies without pharmaceutical production capacity from using our patents to produce counterfeit and inferior products to harm the public, Johnson & Johnson will take the lead in establishing a company to protect the health of all human beings and A joint organization with the goal of defeating diseases for all mankind, and only companies or groups that join the plan will automatically obtain authorization from other pharmaceutical groups, and correspondingly, companies or organizations that join the alliance must also partly give up their barriers or patents.”

"Finally, in order to protect the legitimate interests of the members of the alliance, the alliance will also be responsible for conducting irregular audits and evaluations of the companies within the alliance. If a company is on the verge of bankruptcy due to the development of new drugs, the alliance will give it some support. Enterprises do not want to make progress after joining the alliance, and only want to rest on the research results of other pharmaceutical companies, so the alliance also has the power to warn, fine or kick the enterprise out of the alliance."

"The proposal has been submitted to the highest review bodies of AEU and UNION for consideration. Once the proposal is passed, most of the pharmaceutical companies in UNION and AEU will join the alliance."

"For the future of mankind, we have a better suggestion than the conditions given by APA."

Gray is looking like he has the chance to win at this time.

Just one day before this meeting, when the representatives of the pharmaceutical group present sent Gray's suggestion back to the headquarters, obtained authorization and a list of corresponding patents that could be injected into the alliance, and after Gray compiled the list, Gray discovered that he had The chips in his hands are bigger than he originally imagined.

As long as you compare it with APA's annual medical supplies procurement list, you can easily find that [-]% of the medical supplies purchased by APA each year are on this list. Strictly block the content on this list from APA, and no longer provide all technical support for APA. Within three months, APA's medical system will fall into chaos. At most half a year, at least half of APA's high-end medical system will enter semi-paralyzed state.

Regardless of whether it is in the East or the West, people who can enjoy high-end medical care are often those who can make their voices heard the most. If the medical needs of these people are not met, their voices will have a negative impact on the entire society. The social and opinion environment of the APA wreaks havoc.

It was seeing this possibility that Gray firmly believed that continuing to put pressure on APA could achieve his goals, and he also had the courage to say "no" to the person in charge of APA.

"We invite APA to join this alliance," but Gray also knew that too much was too much. After showing his muscles to APA, Gray showed a compassionate face at this time, "We don't need to do this at all. Pointless confrontation, although there are still some 'misunderstandings' between UNION and APA, but the people are innocent, we should not let the interests of the people be harmed because of the competition between us."

If you don't look at Gray's face before, but just listen to what he is saying now, the person in charge of APA might really think that the person in charge of the Johnson & Johnson Group in front of him has a bodhisattva heart, but before the person in charge of APA is moved, Gray immediately tried to say: "Continuing to be stubborn and disregarding the lives and health of all mankind for the sake of selfishness will definitely be cast aside by all mankind. As long as APA can give up the communication channel with people from other worlds and open up If we don’t have patents for the production of medicines that eliminate diseases or other medicines, then we can also bring APA’s major pharmaceutical groups into this alliance.”

Gray had hoped to see a look of surprise, disappointment or hysteria on the face of the person in charge of the APA, but to Gray's surprise, the person in charge of the APA just pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, you are right. "

"wait...you agree?"

Gray was about to continue persuading, but was blocked by the person in charge of APA. Although he was very confident in persuading APA, he really didn't think about it. APA actually agreed to his speech without any refutation. unreal feeling.

It was as if the alarm for a monster invasion had sounded in the next city, but when he arrived at the scene fully armed, he found that the entrant was just a raccoon cat.

Gray looked at the person in charge of the APA at this time, probably similar to the ENG commander who arrived on this continent in the 40s—how come the leaders on the opposite side had already surrendered before we landed. ?

But if you think about it carefully, isn’t APA apart from the Western Medical Alliance, the same as the ENG Expeditionary Force for that old dynasty?At the beginning, when the old dynasty faced the unrivaled advanced civilization, it could only quickly kneel down and surrender. Isn't it also a nature that APA also bows to itself now?

After "figuring out" this point, Gray couldn't help feeling elated when faced with APA's "knowledge in general" move.

What if the APA establishes contact with people from other worlds in advance?So what if you have obtained the permission to buy and sell medicines for eliminating diseases from outsiders?As long as these Asians haven't mastered the core technology for a day, won't they still have nothing to do in the face of collective pressure from the civilized world?

Even in order to be able to deal with APA, the Johnson & Johnson Group, which formed the pharmaceutical alliance, suffered a lot this time, but it was able to pull out its teeth from APA and play with APA and people from other worlds. Been bragging about it for a while.

What's more, as long as they can obtain the production patent and sales channels of new exotic medicines, isn't it as simple as playing tricks to occupy the world's pharmaceutical market?When there is no longer any existence in the world who can wrestle with the medical alliance, then they can raise the price as much as they want?

As for the reason... the fire in the medicine warehouse seems to be very good.

"We also believe that opening up medical technology and unifying medical standards is the most beneficial choice for human society," but just as Gray was dreaming, the calm words of the person in charge of APA continued to enter his mind, "And our APA, And the Human Alliance also considers itself a very socially responsible organization.”

As the person in charge of the APA spoke, he pulled out a dozen-page document from behind him, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Gray: "This is the contract we have drawn up, let's sign it."

The attitude of the person in charge of the APA made Gray inexplicably feel a sense of crisis. He lowered his head and looked at the contract in the hands of the person in charge of the APA. However, just looking at the title of this contract, Gray was suddenly taken aback.

"What, what's going on!"

Gray's screams could be clearly heard in half of the APA Commerce Department building.

Volume 1087: Conquering Hell: Chapter 1032 Chapter [-]

1032

In fact, at the moment when the human alliance handed out the contract, Gray still had a little luck.

What if this document really had the result he wanted?What if APA is really subdued?What if APA realizes that it cannot compete with Western pharmaceutical groups and is already prepared to retreat?

If this is really the case, even though this screw paper is only a dozen or so thin pages, each page in it represents tens of billions of benefits a year!

With the recurrence of various epidemics in recent years, people all over the world—whether they are rich or ordinary people—have become more and more aware of the value of body and health, and a disease that can cure most of the diseases caused by external sources As long as the medicines that cause diseases caused by sexual pathogens cannot meet the needs of all mankind, even if there is only a 20.00% gap, Gray is confident that he can make it a short-selling commodity that is given priority to the middle and upper classes. profits.

Although Gray doesn't know what the effects of the medicines that appeared in other news are, but if you use the medicines for eliminating diseases as a reference, they must have some magical effects. APA is a fool. He actually sold this medicine at 15 The price of RMB is sold in primary health centers.

More importantly, APA did not carry out large-scale publicity of this medicine, including the domestic public of APA, although it is already known that APA has introduced a function that seems to be It is a very comprehensive alien medicine, but most of the people still don't know the specific effects of this medicine, whether there are side effects and other information. Except for some people who see a doctor in the health center, the sales volume of the medicine introduced by APA is not high. ideal.

In Gray's view, APA's actions are completely putting the cart before the horse. Instead of wasting energy to ensure that this medicine can be spread as widely as possible among the grassroots, it is better to spend more energy on publicizing the magical effects of this medicine, or Simply spend more money and find a way to get more magical potions from outsiders. If it was Gray, as long as he could get one more potion import or production authority, it would turn into a tens of billions of business in minutes.

But APA not only only introduced a potion slowly, but also held the communication channel with the human coalition forces in their hands. Thinking of how much profit APA has wasted these days, Gray couldn't help but feel sorry for APA's stupidity. Behavior is distressing.

But thanks to APA's stupidity, if APA were to be one-thousandth of Gray's smarter, then the news about the new medicine of outsiders would probably be flying all over the sky, wouldn't there be nothing wrong with them?

——At least, Gray really thought so before seeing clearly the content of the document spread out on the table by the person in charge of the APA business department.

However, when Gray saw the title of the document, quickly opened the cover of the document, and briefly scanned the contents of a few pages, Gray instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Mr. Zhang, why is the daily import volume in the contract signed between you and APA [-] million? And the preparation method of the medicine for eliminating diseases in this document...is just to mix and distill the herbs according to the proportion and time? You are developing What a joke!?"

"I don't know much about technical matters, but since it has been written down in black and white, there must be no mistakes," the representative of the APA Commerce Department blinked and asked with a smile, "Why, what's the problem? "

"Of course there is a problem!" Gray yelled angrily, "dispelling diseases can effectively treat the vast majority of diseases, how could it be like magic in fairy tales, combining several herbs like this Just mix and match as you like!"

"I have to correct your point of view—" The person in charge of the APA business department took the time to straighten his collar, and said in a slightly frivolous tone: "You seem to have made a mistake. Who told you that these medicines are not available?" Using magic?"

"What!?" Gray was stunned for a moment, almost doubting his own ears.

"Since our comrades come from different worlds, there are one or two other worlds that happen to have magic. Our comrades in different worlds just happened to systematically decipher magic, and industrialized mass production of magic potions that could only be produced in small quantities. , This is also a very normal thing. As for why you can get magical effects by mixing several herbs together and cooking it, I think it is not something you should know before you sign this contract. ...but it's magic, and some very magical effects are very reasonable, aren't they?"

"No! No! Even if this kind of potion is really magic, don't you have conflicts with people from other worlds, so you can't buy all kinds of medicines from them..."

Gray was suddenly stuck in the middle of his speech. He suddenly realized that APA had not disclosed any transaction details with the human coalition from the very beginning. I made up my own brain.

It's just that what Gray guessed should be normal, right?Since APA knows the essence of magic and potions before they do, no matter how you think about it, just give this potion the name of "magic" and increase the price of the potion by twenty times, no, two hundred times is a normal person The choice should be made! ?

Like APA, not only putting this kind of medicine in a place like the health center where there are few people on weekdays, but also pretending that this kind of medicine is mass-produced through industrialization, there is something wrong with it! ?

It can only be said that APA has done a good job of keeping this matter secret, and the human coalition also has the idea of ​​​​letting APA play a role in the stage, so that APA's introduction of related medicines will touch the most confidential state from beginning to end, let alone Gray. The pharmaceutical group, even within the APA, only a few people know the specific rules of cooperation between the APA and the human coalition.

If there is not enough information, then it can only be guessed randomly based on some "tells" deliberately revealed by APA, and it is not surprising to fall into the thinking trap prepared by APA in advance.

The problem facing Gray now is that even after signing this document, the Western Pharmaceutical Group can immediately obtain the production methods of alien medicines owned by the human coalition forces, but the names of the medicinal materials mentioned in these medicines—such as longan, Moonshine mushrooms, troll blood, devil brimstone, etc.—at first glance, they are not things that should appear in this world. Even if Western pharmaceutical groups want to produce these medicines, they must import raw materials from APA or the human coalition.

At that time, as long as APA does a little bit of tricks, such as delaying the shipment for a few days, it will not be the neck of the Asians that is caught by the Western pharmaceutical group, but the neck of the Western world collectively!

On the other hand, once Gray signs the contract and puts APA into the pharmaceutical alliance, then APA can basically obtain all the technology authorizations of all pharmaceutical companies in the world without paying anything. People from other worlds no longer fully support APA, and Asians who have acquired these technologies will also untie the shackles of pharmaceutical groups around their necks. By then, the entire pharmaceutical industry will really change!

——Although after gaining the support of outsiders, APA has been able to directly purchase more advanced medical equipment from outsiders at a cheaper price.

"Okay, I've already given you the contract you want," the person in charge of APA's business department clapped his hands and said with a smile on his face. The global sales channels of Alien Pharmacy have not obtained technical authorization or public information of the same value, so we will have to hand over all the orders in our hands to companies that can provide us with these conditions."

"But you can rest assured that even without your participation, for the sake of all mankind, we will sell the products on this list to countries or organizations that need them at low prices, although there may be issues such as currency exchange and security. A little trouble, but trouble is the last thing we fear."

"This... this shouldn't be like this!" Gray could no longer see the slightest confidence on his face, and he shouted with sweat profusely, "I can't sign! This is not a decision I can make! The current situation is beyond our expected!"

Johnson & Johnson has always believed that there is a large gap in the production of medicines from outsiders, and it is impossible to meet the needs of outsiders and distribute them on a large scale in their own world. , there will always be room for maneuver.

But judging from the pharmaceutical production method of this contract, the production capacity of the human coalition's new pharmaceuticals is simply terribly high. Any handicraft workshop with a little bit of industrial capacity can be able to independently produce a certain pharmaceutical after obtaining enough raw materials. Once they bring APA and the human coalition into the pharmaceutical alliance and open up the sales channels for the human coalition, then not only will the new medicines not be able to sell at a price, but the prices of most medicines that have cross-effects with the new medicines will also be lowered. into the abyss.

What's more, there is another problem. In addition to medicine, the human coalition army also seems to be very developed in the field of medical equipment. Letting such beasts enter their own market means that they must hand over important monopoly power, and the losses caused by this may be as large as It cannot be measured by money.

From this point of view, APA and the aliens are not only a piece of fat that can be manipulated at will, but a hungry Tyrannosaurus Rex!

"Snapped--!"

But before Gray could think of a good solution, just as he finished speaking, the person in charge of the APA, who had always been polite before, suddenly slammed down the table: "What kind of place do you think the APA Department of Commerce is? We have fully agreed to your request." , you are still pushing three obstacles here, really think that APA is muddy? I warn you, Johnson & Johnson is not the only company that can sign this document. If you leave this door empty-handed, then this contract will never be Johnson & Johnson The signing position of the group is now!"

Gray's thinking at this time has been completely disrupted by the person in charge of the APA. Hearing this, he quickly stood up, nodded and apologized, and said, "You misunderstood me. I mean, I am so moved by APA's desire to care about human development. Now, I need to report this good news to the board of directors immediately, so that the board of directors can immediately re-evaluate whether to give more favorable conditions!"
