Chapter 165 Choice

Seaman and other five staff members of Oheim Pharmaceutical Group first took a private plane provided by Locke to Miri City in Tema Kingdom, 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 Fiso Port, without having to pass through other areas of Kilili Country. As long as the weather is suitable and the itinerary is arranged in advance, you can set off after breakfast and arrive before dinner.

The apartment buildings in Gaoqiao Town have a very good environment. You can overlook the wetlands from the terrace and are surrounded by lush vegetation. Porto Fiso is located in the tropics, but it is not as hot as many people think, otherwise the southern coast would not be a holiday destination.

The light rainy season in early winter is certainly not dry, and the day and night temperatures generally remain between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, which is the best time for Fiso Port. 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 Beisuo River Basin is a huge manor.

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

After ending the quarantine, they did not leave Gaoqiao Town. There were no hotels open on the south coast, and they did not want to have too much contact with the locals. They were from two different worlds, so it was best not to have sex.

Negotiations started from the first day. Huanxiang Industrial was the receptionist for Ximan and others, responsible for arranging the itinerary and ensuring their safety, while the partner was the newly established Fisoport Health Research Center.

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

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

It is said that Ms. Cathy successfully persuaded the relevant leaders of Huanxiang Industrial to realize the importance of health research, and thus also obtained a donation from the local area, which is free office space.

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

Neither Huanxiang Industrial nor the New Alliance came forward directly. Everyone knew what role the Health Research Center played in it, but as soon as the talks started, they developed in an uncontrollable direction.

Oheim Pharmaceutical Group's original plan was that they would provide vaccines and new alliance providers, and the international hospital would have a dedicated laboratory to provide data, and all the results would be Oheim Pharmaceutical Group's.

It is of course important to verify which vaccine is effective, but it is even more important to discover unknown side effects. Sometimes you can even manipulate the data. For example, two vaccines with similar effects can be declared to be more effective, while the other "may have" "unknown side effects" that it does not have.

This kind of thing is not uncommon and is often done for business or political purposes. The thinking of capital and the thinking of medicine are not consistent.

How to choose between two drugs with similar effects? We will not just look at who has good quality and low price, but whether we can have patent rights and agency rights, whether we can control the production and sales links, and whether the various groups involved can maximize their interests and hidden 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 you or your allies, and you can earn a thousand yuan per copy. You don’t have to think about it. Of course, you have to choose the one that can earn you a dollar. Thousands of dollars.

What about that medicine that only costs one yuan? You can find ways to stigmatize and marginalize it, squeeze it out of the market you control, and even squeeze it out of people's sight.

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

This is also the free choice of capital and the result of some form of market competition, but it is not what most people imagine. Otherwise, the former Port of Feso would not have fallen into such a state of depravity, with no hope in sight, because it was already at the bottom of the world.

With the development of modern industrial civilization and information technology, various fields have become more and more professional. What ordinary people can grasp is not real information but only public opinion. Behind public opinion are also guided by various interests.

Huazhenxing participated in the whole process. As the negotiations unfolded, the purpose of Oheim Pharmaceutical Group was also exposed. This is also Huazhenxing's learning and experience of worldly affairs. It just depends on what kind of person he will grow into after experiencing all this?

The health center's response was beyond Seaman's expectations. Ms. Cathy ignored the O'Haim Group's appeal and directly put forward the cooperation plan that had been prepared.

The health center will not organize people to test the vaccines provided by the Oheim Group, regardless of the channel through which these vaccines come.

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

The new alliance will organize 6,000 volunteers, divided into six control groups, to conduct large-scale trials and record comprehensive data. The health center has given the Oldham Group the option to get involved, including international hospital partners.

Oheim Group can participate in the entire process and share data. They do not need to provide the vaccine. They only need to pay volunteers and part of the trial costs.

For six thousand volunteers, the total subsidy fee is 3 million meters, which is already quite low, with only 500 meters per person.

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

Relatively speaking, the costs of vaccine transportation, storage, testing, and organization and coordination are much higher than volunteer subsidies. The health center is not as open as the lion. The cost of the Oheim Group's full participation and complete data sharing is only 10 million US dollars.

For a mere 10 million meters, you can participate in the whole process and get all the data of the 6,000-person experiment, which is already quite a deal. But Seaman was anxious. This was not the result he wanted at all, nor was it 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 trials in a confidential state, just like the "business" that was often done before.

He did not expect it to be of such a large scale. The original plan was to have hundreds or thousands of people. The entire experiment was led by the Oheim 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, or even know about it.

He has no intention of focusing on testing Dongguo's vaccine. If other vaccines are safe and reliable, he even wants to change the experimental data of Dongguo's vaccine in a way that only they know.

Seaman disagreed with such cooperation. But Cathy told him that the health center itself would carry out the project regardless of whether the Oheim Group participated or not. 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 Ximan went to find Yang Tehong again. Yang Tehong was not available, so Tang Senzhi, vice president of Huanxiang Industrial, received him.

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

Out of a humanitarian spirit and taking into account previous commitments, the health center agreed that Oheim Pharmaceutical Group would also participate and share first-hand data throughout the process.

At the end, Townsend asked O'Haim: "Isn't the purpose of your coming because the epidemic in other countries is out of control, so you need to determine a safe and effective vaccine as soon as possible? Then this project can meet your requirements. If you still have For other purposes, we may not be able to satisfy them.”

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

Tang Senzhi smiled: "I am from Dongguo. Didn't you also come to me for cooperation?"

Seaman: "It's different. This is different. We have the most advanced technology and the best experts. We were the ones leading the entire process of the original plan."

Tang Senzhi: "Does Oheim Group have its own vaccine that has entered the clinical stage? If not, don't say so. You have also seen that there are a large number of Dongguo construction workers here, and Huanxiang Industrial's major projects, They were all built.

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

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

What Tang Senzhi said is true. It is precisely because there is a Dongguo-aided project here and there will be more engineering cooperation in the future that this opportunity for vaccine cooperation exists.

The ability to openly recruit 6,000 volunteers is the organizational mobilization ability of the new alliance. In fact, even if the new alliance does not organize mobilization, the more than 1,500 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, and most people who want to be vaccinated still can't queue up. Of course, the epidemic in Dongguo has basically been brought under control, and there is no need for large-scale vaccination.

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

If Dongguo does not have its own vaccine and the epidemic is out of control, it needs to choose a brand-new vaccine from another country to carry out large-scale or even universal vaccination. It will definitely be cautious. It is impossible to use it directly, and there must be various precautions. considerations.

Seaman could not and did not have the authority to make this decision. He had no choice but to emphasize again: "Mr. Tang, this is different from the result of the negotiation between you and Mr. O'Heim 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. This is what we told Mr. O'Heim at the beginning. If you can't make a decision, you can let Mr. O'Heim talk in person, or it should be done by He came to talk in person."
