Chapter 555 Did You Promise that You Won’t Be Short of Money?

Although another four months had passed, Dean Tian was very excited.

On the way back to the hospital, several of them had been eagerly discussing the new findings during the experiment.

Zhuang Buyuan took a hospital minibus and listened to their report on the bus.

"Master, this experiment was so successful! Although the 40 patients were given medication in stages, they all had significant effects. Especially for the few patients who took the full dose of medication, the treatment effect was very good, and they were basically completely healed. Health restored!"

"After completing the experiment and recording the relevant data, we increased the dosage of the medicine in the control group and the control group, and basically controlled the disease. As you wish, we have controlled the losses to a minimum."

"Great, well done!" Zhuang Buyuan couldn't help but give them a thumbs up.

"No, it's all thanks to you, Lord of the Manor." Dean Tian said sincerely. If it weren't for Zhuang Buyuan's "cruel inspection by the Lord of the Manor," they wouldn't have known how many detours they would have taken in the research process, even if they wanted to burn Life is so beautiful.

In the fields of medicine, biology, and chemistry, the saddest thing is not that you waste money and lives, but that after you burn money and lives, you find that everything you do is in vain.

Some people describe that doing research is like trying to win an SSR for money. You never know when you will win an SSR, and you may never win...

"Without the village owner, we might still be doing preliminary research now..." Dean Tian finally understood why both Gong Liubo and Nong Lixin sincerely placed Zhuang Buyuan as the corresponding author. Yes, not only because Zhuang Buyuan is the sponsor, the boss, and the owner of the manor, but also because he has indeed made the greatest contribution.

At this point, Dean Tian felt a little embarrassed and said, "However, the funding is a bit high, a bit beyond expectations..."

"Exceeded expectations? By how much?" Zhuang Buyuan frowned.

"Exceeded... uh, about half?" Dean Tian handed a detailed bill to Zhuang Buyuan and said sheepishly: "In clinical trials, there are always various situations. We have tried our best to control costs, but This kind of experiment has never been done before. We have tried our best to make plans, but in many cases we still have to improvise..."

"Is it just more than half?" Zhuang Buyuan took the bill and took a look. Sure enough, Zhuang Buyuan saw 637 million written on the bill.

He smiled slightly and said: "That's okay, I have plenty of money!"

He has the face of being willful if you have money.

Although 637 million is a lot, it can buy almost six Luo Bridges, but this is the cost of 40 experimenters. The cost for each person participating in the experiment is 15.92 million yuan.

If we use Luo Qiao's analogy again, more than 15 million can buy a person's life, which is worth it.

Of course, the money was actually burned overnight. Thinking about it carefully, Zhuang Buyuan still felt a little bit sad.

However, after considering the construction cost of this Maple Bridge Research Institute and the many medical devices in it, one billion is not enough to stop it.

But all this money was used to buy my grandfather's life, and the fundamental reason was to make my mother happy...

Well worth the money!

Zhuang Buyuan didn't say anything, just signed and paid with a big stroke of his pen!

Seeing that Zhuang Buyuan was in a good mood, Dean Tian said: "Master Zhuang, during the experiment, we found that some of the drugs used in the experiment were not very easy to use, and we have made new breakthroughs in cancer research. With a newer understanding of the mechanisms of mutation and reproduction, it is possible to use some chemical or biopharmaceutical methods to achieve previously unachievable goals, control or reduce lesions, and we want to... develop some anti-cancer drugs."

"Huh?" Zhuang Buyuan wondered, "Is it used in conjunction with therapy?"

"No, our gene and stem cell therapy is already very complete." Dean Tian said, "But its cost cannot be reduced, and every patient needs our team to personally operate and modify the gene. After post-operative surgery, it is impossible to produce a patent medicine..."

"Although the success rate of this therapy is high, it cannot be promoted because the cost is too high. The number of patients that can be treated in a year is limited. If we want to recover the cost of the initial investment of one billion, we will not know how long it will take. If If we can create a cheaper but more widespread drug, it can benefit more people, in other words, it can also earn us more benefits."

Now Dean Tian is also the deacon of the manor. Of course, he must also consider the interests of the manor. At the same time, this will also bring him huge fame and fortune.

Having said this, he paused again and said: "After your grandfather recovers, I want to resign from the hospital and specialize in the research and development of this drug. However... the research and development of drugs is relatively expensive, so..."

"Hmm..." Drug research and development is expensive, and Zhuang Buyuan still knew that. He asked: "I understand, you need my investment, right?"

Anyway, I have money in my hands now. Apart from the necessary cash reserves, the extra money is basically a waste. Zhuang Buyuan nodded and said: "Okay, since you have new discoveries, I will invest them. How much money do I have to invest?”

"The initial investment of 200 million is enough to complete animal experiments, but if you include pharmacokinetics and pharmacokinetics research, it will cost about 500 million. If you include phase 1, 2, and 3 clinical trials, it will cost more than 2 billion It’s less than three billion…”

"Pfft..." Zhuang Buyuan spat out his saliva, "How much?"

"Three billion..." Dean Tian said cautiously.

Zhuang Buyuan almost fainted with a roll of his eyes.

"You want so much?"

"Not much. If this kind of drug can really be developed and put on the market, the annual turnover can be billions of nut coins!" Dean Tian said.

"So many?" Zhuang Buyuan was immediately attracted by Dean Tian's painted cakes.

Seeing Dean Tian's eyes shining, Zhuang Buyuan said: "Needless to say, you still plan to use accelerated time for research and development. Do you have that many lives?"

"I have students! And I can recruit more employees to work for me. At best, I can give them high wages!" Dean Tian said.

Zhuang Buyuan almost slapped him away.

Damn it, you are not willing to burn your own life, so you use my money to burn other people's lives. When did you become so shameless?

You are indeed worthy of being my servant and worthy of my true heritage!

"So, how long does it take to develop a drug?" Zhuang Buyuan asked.

"In fact, we can compress the development time to the limit." Dean Tian said, "The key is animal experiments and clinical trials. These have rigid time regulations and cannot be accelerated."

"The regulations in our state are relatively loose. It takes at least one and a half to two years from the time a drug starts clinical trials to the end of phase three clinical trials and obtaining the license."

"So long?" Zhuang Buyuan hesitated.

It had only been a few months since he got the manor. It was too long-term to invest now in a project that would only pay off in a few years.

Zhuang Buyuan has always been making quick money and has never tried an investment with such a long cycle.

"Master, this is us. It will take at least 10 to 15 years for others to develop a drug." Dean Tian said, "Master, the patent period of a new drug is 20 years, unless someone develops a new drug to replace ours. , otherwise in twenty years, there will be a turnover of several billion nut coins every year!”

Billions of nut coins, that’s tens of billions of state coins!

In comparison, the tens of billions in my hand... No, there are no tens of billions anymore, so what does it count?

"Manor owner, do you think the current tunnel project and real estate project are profitable?" Dean Tian asked, "I bet that as long as we succeed in research and development and get the license, the research institute will be the most profitable in the manor!"

Although he has not been in the manor for long, Dean Tian has already seen clearly the situation in the manor.

In the manor, Zhuang Buyuan's attention is the largest and scarcest resource. Not to mention anything else, the "cruel inspection of the manor owner" is the need for cultivating new varieties and breeding animals. It is needed in various places. There is only so much energy and so much time in the near future, who can use it?

And whoever can earn the greatest benefits for the manor will get the greatest attention from Zhuang Buyuan!

Seeing Zhuang Buyuan's eyes flashing, Dean Tian knew that Zhuang Buyuan was already moved, but he still needed to give Zhuang Buyuan the final blow.

"Master, you have also seen He Xiaoduo. A child at such a young age has a terminal disease and has such bastard parents. If he hadn't met us and participated in this experiment, I'm afraid he would be dead by now." Tian The dean said, "Think about it, there are still many children in this world who have cancer that cannot be treated and can only wait to die in the hospital bed... If our new drug is successfully developed, we can allow them to enjoy a better life. This Isn’t it a great achievement?”

Zhuang Buyuan was touched by Dean Tian.

In his heart, Zhuang Buyuan is still a kind person. His money comes from the manor. He has not gone through ruthless shopping mall competition, nor has he gone through sinful primitive accumulation. (Opponents who have been blackmailed and defeated: Meow meow meow? What did you say?)

Therefore, Zhuang Buyuan does not take money too seriously. Deep down, he is still very soft and a kind person.

Profit is not what he values ​​most, but feelings are his weakness.

Dean Tian found his weakness.

"Okay, I'll invest!" Zhuang Buyuan said, "You'd better not live up to my expectations. If the drug research and development fails..."

"I'm here to see you!" Dean Tian slapped his chest hard.

Zhuang Buyuan nodded happily, and then Dean Tian added: "Master Zhuang, you have already invested anyway, and whether it is a new drug or developing multiple new drugs at the same time, it will take about the same amount of time. Why don't you invest a little more?" ?”

"What?" Zhuang Buyuan was shocked.

"I also have plans for three new drugs. This is my plan. These three drugs are all drugs with very wide range of indications and a huge market. Each of them is a hen that can lay golden eggs. If they are synchronized, If we do this, we can save waiting time, but then we will have to recruit more people and require more upfront investment..."

When the minibus passed through the tunnel and arrived at the Second Courtyard of Xucheng, Zhuang Buyuan got off the bus, his steps a little sloppy.

When getting out of the car, Zhuang Buyuan's feet went weak. Dean Tian quickly supported him: "Master, are you okay?"

"No...it's okay..." Zhuang Buyuan wiped his sweat and forced a smile: "I have been sitting in the car for a long time, and my legs are numb..."

Damn it, my legs are numb, it’s all because of you!

When he got on the bus, Zhuang Buyuan was a billionaire.

When he got off the bus, Zhuang Buyuan was already a pauper.

Dean Tian is really terrible! I must stay away from him in the future!

Zhuang Buyuan raised his head, looked at the building in front of him, and suddenly sighed in a low voice:

"Ah, I feel like my body has been hollowed out."

This time I was really drained.

Damn it, why is this happening?

…

When Zhuang Buyuan told Liu Jinge the news, Liu Jinge's eyes almost exploded.

"What? Sixty-seven billion? So much? How...how is this possible..." Liu Jinge looked like the owner of the village had been deceived.

"There is no way. Since you want to conduct new drug research and development, you need a lot of qualifications and a large number of professionals. Dean Tian is a doctor. There are many things in new drug research and development that he does not understand. He needs professionals. to handle it, so we plan to acquire an existing pharmaceutical company.”

"There are only a few pharmaceutical companies in Xucheng. They have their own research and development experience and a research and development team. They can use it as soon as they are collected. There are only two or three companies that plan to sell themselves."

"Although this pharmaceutical company is not operating well, it sells several drugs very well and still has a share of the state market. In addition, it also has its own brand, so the premium is higher."

"I have never acquired a company of this size before, and I need to acquire a professional acquisition team first to help with the operation, so 6.7 billion is not much."

"So, these 6.7 billion are not considered the cost of drug research and development at all?" Liu Jinge turned around and left.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll take the manor's guardian to tear up this deceitful dean who is deceiving everyone!"

"No, it's not like we don't have money..." Zhuang Buyuan said, "Don't worry, I will solve the money problem."

"Really?" Liu Jinge looked suspicious.

"Didn't I handle all the money in the manor?"

Liu Jinge touched his chin. Well, that makes sense.

Looking at Zhuang Buyuan's confident look, Liu Jinge was a little hesitant.

"Look, money comes to me with just one phone call." Zhuang Buyuan picked up the phone and called Jia Yelian.

"Old Jia, it's time to pay back the money you owe me!"

"What?" When Jia Yelian heard Zhuang Buyuan asking for money, he subconsciously got excited.

Are you trying to "take money from me as the owner of the manor" again?

Wait, I haven't offended the village owner recently, why are you asking me for money?

"What...what money?"

"Of course you owe me the money for the project!" Zhuang Buyuan said, "37 billion, if you give 10 billion, you won't give the rest? My project has been completed!"

"Wait, wait, wait!" Jia Yelian said, "Where can I give you money! I need money for such a big stall here! And owner of the village, please pay attention carefully. The project payment will be paid after the completion of the project." , but there is also a time limit, which is no more than two years at the latest!”

"Is there such a clause?" Zhuang Buyuan was dumbfounded!

So, I have money now, but I am a pauper?
