"Collaboration? Chairman Cai, what specific aspects of collaboration are you referring to?"
Although Cai Jinqiang had guessed the truth, the collaboration with Fu Xiuyuan was quite secretive. Lin Jie was not worried about his wild guesses, as the other party had no evidence.
Besides, what could be done even if he knew?
Lin Jie was no longer who he used to be.
He could easily attribute the formula and production process to so non-existent anonymous person, as he had told Fu Xiuyuan.
Cai Jinqiang gave a faint smile and said, "I know, Expert Lin, you are leading a trial therapy for various cancers."
"In this trial therapy, the Zhou family from the Binhai Traditional Chinese dicine Family was invited by you to participate and has contributed a traditional Chinese dicine supplent, which is said to play a significant role throughout the trial therapy?"
Lin Jie did not deny it and softly said, "Chairman Cai, your information is indeed accurate."
"However, this trial therapy has just started, and it will take quite a while to obtain preliminary results."
"Expert Lin, the surgeries, diagnoses, and dical research you've conducted have never failed. This research will surely be the sa."
Cai Jinqiang complinted Lin Jie and then added with a smile, "What I ant by collaboration is to obtain authorization from you, Expert Lin, allowing Zhengda Pharmaceutical to produce this traditional Chinese dicine supplent."
Lin Jie was taken aback and said, "Chairman Cai, you've approached the wrong person for this matter."
"The formula for the traditional Chinese dicine supplent is with the Zhou family. You should talk to them about the authorization."
Cai Jinqiang chuckled and said, "Of course, the success of this collaboration cannot be achieved without the Zhou family."
"However, your approval, Expert Lin, is the most crucial part."
"How so?" Lin Jie was montarily puzzled.
Cai Jinqiang explained solemnly, "With only the Zhou family's authorization and approval, what Zhengda Pharmaceutical produces would just be another traditional Chinese dicine supplent."
"It wouldn't fundantally differ from any other traditional Chinese supplents produced by Jian'an Hall of the Zhou family."
"But, with your authorization, Expert Lin, things would be completely different."
"Once your research succeeds, this traditional Chinese dicine supplent would transform into a globally recognized anticancer miracle from the East."
"The value and acceptance of it would undergo a radical change."
Lin Jie suddenly understood that this was about using his credibility to endorse this traditional Chinese dicine supplent.
However, Cai Jinqiang's words did remind Lin Jie.
Although the current trial results of the Zhou family's traditional Chinese dicine supplent are not very conclusive yet.
Based on his personal experience of taking it, the supplent has a very strong tonic effect on the body.
This is also why Lin Jie directly abandoned the dical nutritional liquids and culture dia made to Western standards in this trial therapy.
Lin Jie pondered that he could indeed package this supplent made into an inducer as the key factor in the trial therapy and promote it to the world.
In doing so, he could earn worldwide inco to subsidize dostic dical research and help more patients.
Moreover, given the complex composition of this supplent and the traditional Chinese dicine processing techniques, the likelihood of foreign pharmaceutical giants successfully replicating it is minimal.
Of course, all of this depends on the premise that Lin Jie's trial therapy yields significant results and has a notable impact.
Lin Jie thought for a mont and said, "Chairman Cai, I haven't thought that far yet."
"After all, this trial therapy has just begun, and the future outcos are uncertain."
"However..."
Lin Jie said truthfully, "Assuming everything goes well, given my relationship with the Fu family, even though your Zhengda Pharmaceutical is very powerful, it is not my first choice for a collaboration, Chairman Cai."
Cai Jinqiang showed no surprise and nodded, "I understand that point."
"Expert Lin, Zhengda Pharmaceutical is a major pharmaceutical group dostically, and last year's sales were nearly a hundred tis that of Zhengmao Pharmaceutical."
"And regarding this traditional Chinese dicine supplent, you're certainly thinking of introducing it to the international market, right?"
"Frankly speaking, only Zhengda Pharmaceutical has the confidence and strength to compete with international pharmaceutical giants, rather than rely being a manufacturer handing over the foreign market and vast profits."
This left Lin Jie sowhat astonished; he didn't expect Cai Jinqiang to be so ambitious.
As far as Lin Jie knew, in the pharmaceutical industry, apart from so traditional Chinese dicines like dicinal herbs and cooling oils exported, dostic pharmaceutical companies' capabilities in Western dicine were limited.
Cai Jinqiang wanted to leverage Lin Jie's international reputation and use the traditional Chinese dicine supplent, packaged as the anticancer miracle from the East, as a stepping stone to break into the international market for Zhengda Pharmaceutical.
Lin Jie couldn't help but ask, "The requirents and entry barriers for dication in European and Arican countries are very strict."
"Can Zhengda Pharmaceutical handle that part?"
Cai Jinqiang confidently responded, "Zhengda Pharmaceutical has always adhered to European and Arican standards in drug production."
"Their comprehensive access checks are absolutely passable."
He sighed, "It's just that foreign pharmaceutical companies are strong, with ample funding for research breakthroughs and strong lobbying power in political circles."
"Even though our drugs are inexpensive, they are completely replaceable, and are tightly restricted by various policies, preventing them from entering the markets of European and Arican countries."
"If we have a drug that patients in Europe and Arica must need, the outco will be different."
"And this Traditional Chinese dicine supplent which can effectively combat cancer has the potential to beco such a miracle drug."
"Expert Lin, Zhengda Pharmaceutical is willing to offer very generous cooperation terms, even willing to give up all profits to obtain your authorization."
The conditions offered by the other party were tempting.
But this is a major issue, involving many aspects, and Lin Jie had no choice but to defer, "Chairman Cai, it's still a bit premature to discuss this."
"Let's wait until my experintal therapy shows initial results before we talk..."
At this mont, more than a dozen people poured into the hall.
Among them was Fu Xiuyuan.
He entered the hall with Zhou Hongzhi from the Zhou Family, laughing and chatting.
Seeing this scene, Cai Jinqiang's brow slightly furrowed.
Fu Xiuyuan also noticed Cai Jinqiang and was briefly surprised. He hurriedly walked over, extended his hand, and said exaggeratedly, "I didn't expect Chairman Cai to co despite being so busy, I'm really overwheld with honor."
Cai Jinqiang lightly shook Fu Xiuyuan's hand and smiled faintly, "To be able to successfully imitate an anti-cancer drug within six months, such a miraculous feat, Zhengda Pharmaceutical can only look on in admiration. I ca here specifically to learn."
Fu Xiuyuan laughed heartily, "Chairman Cai is just joking, it's simply impossible within six months."
"We've been researching and accumulating all along."
"It was only a few months ago that we had a significant breakthrough in research, and it's been smooth sailing ever since — perhaps it was a special gift of good fortune from heaven."
He pointed to Zhou Hongzhi beside him and introduced him, "Chairman Cai, this is Master Zhou Hongzhi from the Zhou Family in Binhai Traditional Chinese dicine."
Cai Jinqiang greeted him, "Hello, Master Zhou! Is the elder Mr. Zhou doing well?"
Zhou Hongzhi replied politely, "Hello, Chairman Cai, my father is still in good health!"
Fu Xiuyuan continued, "Chairman Cai, I've already discussed a collaboration with Master Zhou. Our Zhengmao Pharmaceutical will produce two oral supplents under the Jian'an Hall label."
He sighed and said, "Zhengmao Pharmaceutical has been weak for years and has just successfully developed this imitation drug, yet we still can't make ends et. We can only take on small jobs to earn so extra money for als."
Cai Jinqiang laughed, "By estimating the pricing of your company's imitation drug, the national market capacity is around one billion to three billion yuan. Your company can at least capture half of the dostic market, which amounts to six to seven billion yuan in sales."
"Profits of two billion should be no problem."
"Is this not enough? Chairman Fu, your appetite is too big!"
Fu Xiuyuan chuckled, "Chairman Cai, are you trying to fool a child?"
"These are just the profits on paper. When factoring in initial research investnts, previous losses, and advertising and promotion for this drug, breaking even within three years would be quite good."
Cai Jinqiang smirked, "Looks like Zhengmao Pharmaceutical is not doing well."
"How about this, I'll offer 20 billion to exclusively buy out the formula, production process, and production license for this imitation drug?"
"Chairman Cai is truly wealthy and generous with his offer."
Fu Xiuyuan shook his head and refused, "However, this drug represents the morale of the entire company. If we really sell it, the spirit will disperse, and I must decline your kind offer."
"What a pity!"
"My offer will be valid for one year, Chairman Fu. If you change your mind, you can co to anyti."
After chatting casually for a few more sentences, Cai Jinqiang bid farewell and left.
Fu Xiuyuan stroked his chin until Cai Jinqiang disappeared outside the hall, then looked at Lin Jie and said, "Is that old guy also interested in your research project?"
Lin Jie smiled, "What do you an by 'interested,' as if you don't have such intentions yourself?"
Fu Xiuyuan chuckled, "I let my actions speak for themselves."
"With the close relationship between us, if there's sothing good, surely you would think of first, right?"
Lin Jie scoffed, "Relationships are relationships, but I won't reject money."
"Chairman Cai's partnership offer is very favorable."
"Chairman Fu, my dical research is very costly, so naturally I'll collaborate with whoever offers the most benefits."
Fu Xiuyuan said in frustration, "Can't we have a friendship price between us?"
Lin Jie replied seriously, "I can give you a two percent discount!"
