Speaking of which, Yang Rui still pays attention to using lawyers. Almost all pharmaceutical companies are in a state of lifelong litigation. Either you sue me today, or I sue you tomorrow. People in the industry will inevitably be affected. On this point, it is not only the case abroad, but also in China. Take a look at Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals The status of the case is known, and litigation has become a daily task.

Even so, if it wasn't for Mei Qiwei's reminder, Yang Rui really wouldn't have thought of using a lawyer to do clinical tests.

This is mainly because the cost of clinical testing is too high, even if it is only part of the content, it will cost tens of millions of dollars, not to mention time and energy. Although lawyers are rich, there are probably not many who can be so rich.

However, after all, Yang Rui is not familiar with American laws, and he also forgot that the American people have carried forward the class action lawsuit.

In fact, class action lawsuits are the most annoying situation that pharmaceutical companies encounter the most. Then one or several representatives can sue for themselves. If the case is won, everyone will happily share the money, and if the case is lost, there is not much loss.

In the large-scale lawsuits that often need to last for several years or even more than ten years, the role of class actions is very important, and it also makes large enterprises dare not act rashly, because the amount of litigation for one person is small, and the amount of litigation for all joint actions is high.

For example, the problem of counterfeit products that often occurs in China. According to the current law, the compensation amount after a successful prosecution is only three times or five times, and no more than ten times. Except for the so-called professional counterfeiters, there are basically no ordinary consumers to pay for it. Fake goods go to court, and the money lost is not enough to pay the lawyer's fees. To increase the amount of compensation is also contrary to the spirit of the law, and it is tantamount to giving the rich and powerful a weapon to bring down competitors or small businesses.

However, if the method of class action is adopted, professional anti-counterfeiting people will come forward, lawyers will contribute money and efforts, and other people will only need to sit back and enjoy the benefits, and the three times and five times the amount of compensation can play a very strong role, and its deterrent effect on enterprises is even more terrifying , and increased the cost of manipulation by the privileged class. For a class action involving hundreds or thousands of people, how much should the compensation amount be three times and five times? How much is the class action for tens of thousands of people? If a normal company makes fake products again, it will lose more than it gains. Fake factories have become an illegal act, rather than a common phenomenon.

As for why lawyers have to spend money and effort to fight the lawsuit, the root lies in the high proportion of the share. The series of lawsuits between the state of Florida and the tobacco company ultimately resulted in a payout of US$13.2 billion and attorney fees of US$3.4 billion, which were shared by 11 law firms. The law firm that litigated on behalf of Enron's shareholders recovered a whopping $7.2 billion in compensation and $688 million in legal fees. And in the drug space, Merck paid $4.85 billion for false claims about their painkiller Vioxx, Pfizer paid $2.3 billion for a lawsuit over the illegal sale of Bextra and other drugs, and Eli Lilly paid $2.3 billion for similar reasons for different drugs. It took $1.4 billion to...

The size of Miki Corporation,

It may not be as good as Pfizer, but it is still among the top 500 companies in the world.

Yang Rui believes that such a company is still very attractive to locust-like lawyers.

The important thing is that once the harm caused by the law is determined, the compensation is a certainty. The only problem is the amount of compensation.

With Sanmu's annual sales of one million, the clinical testing costs of tens of millions of dollars is really drizzle.

However, let me change my mind again. Tens of millions of dollars is really not a small amount of money. Any one or several law firms can be regarded as "courageous" if they want to make such a decision. With the scope of influence of Yang Rui, he has no way to promote this matter. of.

At best, he knew a few patent lawyers, and the relationship between the two parties was also based on money transactions. Just like prostitutes don't believe what their clients say, lawyers don't take their clients' words seriously.

Moreover, Yang Rui is not suitable to promote this matter.

He is now playing the role of a scholar. If he directly ends up in a class action lawsuit, he will immediately be defiled by holy money.

The golden light of money is attached to scholars, just like a steak coated with shit. Only a few people will carefully distinguish between cow shit and human shit, and finally decide whether to eat it or not. Regardless of whether to eat it or not, the audience is small. For sure, scholars also need to be praised by others. If no one pays attention to scholars, no matter how good they are, they will starve to death.

By the way, cow dung barbecue is a good delicacy, but meat coated with cow dung is rare, and it is not delicious. Otherwise, in the thousands of years of human history, there will always be a piece of meat among so many cow dung barbecues. It will be roasted and fell into the cow dung. Some people are reluctant to throw it away and pick it up to continue roasting. However, this way of eating has never spread like cow dung barbecue, stinky tofu or cheese. It must be bad. ——Comprehensive logical thinking may allow you to get the correct answer even if you don't know the truth.

In the final analysis, Yang Rui can only wait.

This feeling is not very good, but I can only admit it.

The road is chosen by oneself, no matter how far or tired you are, you can't complain.

In addition, with the release of the China Youth Daily report, the pressure on Yang Rui in China has not increased.

Jingxi Pharmaceutical General Factory will not give up on Lvboding. Whether it is the current situation of the factory or the pressure of Sanmu Company, Qin Hanchi is getting deeper and deeper, and it is vaguely a banner to resist Yang Rui.

Of course, Qin Hanchi didn't want this banner. What's the good of resisting the members of the GMP committee? Although the Ministry of Health is sympathetic to him now, this matter is over, and we don't want to see more of him.

Qin Hanchi also knew this, so he searched for allies as much as possible.

Jiang Tonghua came into Qin Hanchi's eyes again at this time.

"I have a suggestion, how about you unite various companies and form an association?" Jiang Tonghua went to Qin Hanchi this time, but he came up with a draft with tens of thousands of words.

Qin Hanchi looked ahead, a little moved, but also hesitantly said: "You are asking me to confront the GMP committee."

"If the members of the GMP committee agree, they agree, and if they disagree, they don't agree for no reason." Jiang Tonghua said with a smile, "I am also a member of the GMP committee. I can't even see what Yang Rui did. It's over, don't you just forget it?"

"Of course it can't be counted..."

"So, didn't I provide you with a solution? Why don't you join several companies and talk to the leaders of the ministries and commissions together? No matter how much Yang Rui does, as long as the leaders of the ministry speak up, the GMP committee will be useless."

"We also want to talk about it and think about it, but there is never a good opportunity."

"The leader is definitely not willing to mix in now, so you have to set up an association. With the name of the association, even if the leader is unwilling, you have to understand the situation first." Jiang Tonghua is not only trying to scare Yang Rui, he is also Worried about his position within the GMP committee. After this incident, Yang Rui has at least established a strong reputation, while Jiang Tonghua is still in a state of little transparency. At the same time, he does not have the confidence to compete with Yang Rui in academics, so naturally he can only find strength outside the academy.

If Qin Hanchi can really set up an association of pharmaceutical companies outside the hospital, Jiang Tonghua believes that he is still qualified to mediate and gain some power.

Only in this way, Qin Hanchi's responsibility will be greater.

If the leaders of the ministries and commissions didn't think it was a nuisance, an association outside the hospital would be established, but if the leaders of the ministries and commissions were unhappy, Qin Hanchi would have to bear the anger.

The Jingxi Pharmaceutical General Factory is losing money, which is a non-war crime, and Qin Hanchi's factory director position is still stable. But the leaders of the ministries and commissions were unhappy, and Qin Hanchi's position was in jeopardy.

Qin Hanchi hesitated and said: "This is suspected of forcing the palace."

Jiang Tonghua smiled and said, "Apart from forcing the palace, what else can you do?"

Qin Hanchi smiled wryly: "I have nowhere to go, not necessarily other companies."

"Your factory is in a hurry to pass the law. Do other factories have a green light all the way?" Jiang Tonghua said and handed over a piece of paper.

"What is this?" Qin Hanchi didn't answer.

"The list of factories that were 'disapproved' by the GMP committee has recently increased by several."

Qin Hanchi hesitated for a moment, but still received it.

Jiang Tonghua was relieved at once. There are now Sino-foreign joint ventures and wholly foreign-owned pharmaceutical companies, but they are mainly state-owned enterprises, and they are all state-owned enterprises that can earn foreign exchange. Very influential.

From Jiang Tonghua's point of view, Yang Rui's "no approval" really lacks a reason.
