After drawing blood from the tiger, he put it to play and An Feng returned to the office.

Every time he comes, he has something to deal with, and this time is no exception. Not long after he sat down, the secretary informed him that something was wrong. Joseph, the head of the company, wanted to discuss a number of medical technology and patent issues with him. The technology has been put on for a long time. When he saw that An Feng had time, he came to mention it quickly.

Joseph said: "There are already several multinational pharmaceutical companies consulting with us to obtain patents for drug patents, especially biopharmaceutical technology. The R&D department's test results are excellent. It's time to consider how to authorize, or do you have your own ideas?"

An Feng asked: "How is the market for new drugs?"

Joseph replied: "According to the survey, the global market for cardiovascular diseases was 150 billion last year, but competition is fierce and new drugs are emerging one after another."

“It’s just a big aspect? Or are there many types?”

"Many types, such as cardiac glycosides and positive introphic drugs, antihypertensive, antiarrhythmia, lowering blood lipids, blood regulation, etc., have been conquered. Most of them are biological drugs, with relatively superb technology and difficult to imitate, and are also very popular among pharmaceutical companies."

An Feng asked: "What about the cost of biological drugs?"

Joseph replied: "If the production method we pursue is expensive, but large manufacturers have a complete assembly line and low foreign supply channels, and produce with a huge base, they can reduce costs and make them profitable within the ideal standard."

An Feng considered that even if the market has more than 100 billion, the cost is very critical. The competition is strong and there are many effective drugs. It is not an incurable disease, nor does it have the absolute monopoly nature of anti-cancer drugs. In general, new drugs only have better results, but there are more similar products.

By comparison, after three to five years of development, a pharmaceutical company ideally occupies 50% of the market, about 60 to 70 billion yuan, but the cost is very critical. If the cost is high, the profit will definitely be less than that of anti-cancer drugs. Small and medium-sized enterprises cannot afford it, and it mainly depends on the large enterprises.

So he asked: "Which companies are interested in it? The ones with the highest offers?"

"The highest offer is Pfizer, which is the world's largest pharmaceutical company. After the end of the patent protection period for some drugs, it has been looking for new drugs that can stabilize the market. The technology we developed is very interested and said it can negotiate at a high price."

"I understand." An Feng naturally knew Pfizer's name. When they authorized anti-cancer drugs, they gave a higher price than Sinclair, but he decisively chose the latter, one of which was his own people. The other was that he would have shares in Xin's Energy, which had higher influence and power value.

The situation is different now. First of all, he is not sure whether Sinclair can continue to swallow such a large pharma market. After all, they are newbies in the drug market. They just have a strong anti-cancer authorization to open up the same huge cardiovascular disease market. I am afraid they will be too busy.

An Feng said: "Prefer them as key considerations, but the specificity depends on my discussion with other business partners before making a decision."

Judging from the current situation, as the core of the consortium, they can devote their efforts to help themselves. As the leader, they also have the responsibility to increase the strength of the consortium. Now there are too many competitors and the consortium develops well, so that he can live a good life; consortium will become weak and will be swallowed by its opponents.

Therefore, except for the Sinclair family, other members of the consortium can consider cooperation.

Joseph also mentioned the authorization of other research results. After several years of precipitation, the research center's technology is in a booming stage, and many valuable technologies are looking for cooperation. If you simply transfer, you can get tens of billions immediately, but it is not suitable for making overall profits.

So he decided to develop in the long term.

...

After arranging the matter, An Feng got up and walked around to see the research and development progress of other aspects of the research center. As of today, the research center has fifty projects, twenty of which have achieved results, fifteen gave up because of insufficient conditions, and the rest continue to burn money.

His botany department found something strange.

The department laboratory is located on the seventh floor. The most distinctive one is the environmental simulation area. It spends a lot of money to build and simulate various environments on the earth. At present, the main part is a desert, and the sunshine level is similar to that of the desert. This cycle repeats itself, but plants grow magically.

Through the thick glass, the research team leader named Sam introduced: "There are all plants operated by genetic technology. In the environment of continuous strong sunshine and drought and rainy, their growth and reproduction are still vigorous and doubled in ten days."

"Sir, please look here." Sam came to the small petri dish next to him. "This is one of the experimental plants, developed from vetiver. We collected the genes of drought-resistant plants. After precise combination, the plants cultivated have many advantages."

"Its root system is extremely developed and can penetrate several meters deep below to absorb water. At the same time, the developed root system will effectively prevent soil erosion. The special structure of its root system retains more than 75% of the water source in the soil. In addition, it resists drought and reproduces very quickly."

An Feng asked: "You use the desert area as the environment and want to develop a plant with developed roots, drought resistance, and rapid reproduction?"

"Yes." Sam said proudly, "If it succeeds, I dare say it is the most suitable plant for the desert environment. Just transplant it to eastern California or Nevada, even in harsh desert areas, I guarantee that the satellite images will turn green in a year."

"Oh, by the way!" Sam led An Feng to other places. "Forage alone is not enough. Research on shrubs and trees is carried out simultaneously. I plan to apply for the use of a supercomputer. Its theoretical model is very useful and can save a long period of genetic exploration."

An Feng went to see the plant seedlings he cultivated again. Some of them were crossed and proved that they failed; some were observing, and the future was uncertain. When they opened the record files, they failed a lot. Obviously, these tasks needed to be tried all kinds of times. If there was a computer to do it, it would be considered an hour that would be more busy for a year.

And now it's just a matter of luck.

An Feng sat down and said, "Let the desert grow green grass and trees and improve the environment. It is a bold idea. If you can test it under the guidance of the correct theory, the chance of success is still quite high. When will you use a computer? I will give you special approval."

"Maybe two weeks later," Sam said, glad he was appreciated.

"I will let the secretary do it." An Feng said.

Sam said: "Thank you, Mr., the company's plant research has not been very optimistic. It is a huge encouragement for me to be able to get your recognition."

An Feng smiled and said, "It's mainly your efforts. In addition, it's a bit inappropriate to conduct experiments here, maybe you need a better outdoor environment."

Samso: "But there is no suitable one near Los Angeles, and it requires approval and grants from supervisors."

"I have a suggestion," said An Feng. "In SLO, more than 200 kilometers away, there may be a suitable place for you. In addition to the vineyard planting area, there are also strong wastelands in Rizhao. If you are willing to work there, the company can allocate funds."

After hearing this, Sam asked, "Have you been in for many years?"

"If you have only one person, I think these plants cannot be separated from your care, but I think you will definitely have other assistants, right?"

Sam got it: "I agree with this idea, sir."

I chatted with Sam and learned that he had a small team of five people who were recruited after the research center was renamed "Bio". Like other job seekers, they were very interested in the R&D environment and knowledge base here, even if they had to sign a contract of at least ten years.

Long-term contracts are a way for research centers to protect knowledge. Although the conditions are harsh, they have high salaries and high treatments. They can also enjoy the sharing of R&D results. For example, the cancer cell research and development team will be millionaires in the future. If you publish some autobiography, you will have no worries about food and clothing for your whole life.

Therefore, the contract seems harsh, but it is actually a delicious bun. Even if you want to get such a contract, you have to go through a period of internship and probation period, and you will be hired after passing the assessment. But there is no absolute thing, such as how to prevent it, there is a possibility of leaking secrets.

There is no airtight wall in the world. After mastering knowledge, An Feng can't control it, but so far, this has not happened. The research center invests millions of security funds every year, which is very guaranteed. The technology and reputation of SHIELD Security are among the top three in the industry.

Say goodbye Sam, An Feng had an idea: turn the earth green.

Sam cultivated genetically modified plants through theory and tests in the laboratory have strong environmental adaptability. Planting them in deserts and barren areas can have a positive impact on improving the environment, preventing soil erosion, preventing wind and sand, and preventing global warming.

There are too many places on the earth that the environment is harsh. Establishing enterprises to provide "green earth" business. After field investigation, use a scientific green plan to plant grasses in detail, which shrubs are cultivated, and at most a distance there can be a stable green system.

Environmental governance is a world problem, and there are not many effective solutions, but genetic technology will reduce the difficulty. If the entire huge green system can be successfully developed, it can be implemented in countries with rich but lacking environment, such as China or rich countries in the Middle East. Especially oil countries, they need green too much.

But there is still a problem with the Green Earth.

If you choose to start construction in places like Qatar that are not short of money, it is obvious that plants alone cannot be used, but also water resources are required. The water there is said to be more expensive than gasoline, so the normal way is not possible and can only be taken from seawater - desalination projects are a good choice, with high yield and good quality.

This involves industrial technology.

Humans are not good at construction under harsh conditions and need the help of flexible machinery. The manipulated robots here are of great use. Humanoid machines are currently used to fantasize, but small and medium-sized all-terrain machines, robots that are more flexible and agile than human hands... are all good choices.

Although it is time-consuming to implement, it is undoubtedly beneficial to both the environment and itself. In terms of environmental governance, China spends more than 800 billion yuan every year, so if possible, it is still calculated in US dollars to take an order of at least one billion. For countries that urgently govern the environment, the effect is good enough, and it is not a problem to get tens of billions of dollars in long-term contracts.
