Chapter 133: Chapter 97: The Dog Is Gone, New Drug Successfully Developed (Part 2)

“Hahaha! Qin Feng, I have some great news to tell you!”

On the other end of the phone came Qiao Changping’s hearty laughter.

“What good news?”

Qin Feng asked with a smile.

“The recipe you gave me last time, I’ve had the research center conduct trials in batches. It’s now passed the second round of animal trials, and we’re about to apply for the third round of clinical trials.”

“Really?”

Upon hearing this news, Qin Feng’s eyes instantly lit up!

This was truly great news!

Three months ago, he had broken down a heart disease treatment formula from the “Green Pouch Book” he had obtained into three parts and gave them to Qiao Changping to conduct experiments in Jinling’s Research Center.

The prescription from Hua Tuo’s “Green Pouch Book” was entirely based on traditional Chinese medicine, so he also conducted high-molecular purification and drug development based on ancient methods.

Unexpectedly, in just three months, success has been achieved in animal trials!

This means that as long as the next step of clinical trials is completed, it can be approved for application and formal drug development!

The biggest difference is that the cost of this drug is three times lower than the heart disease drugs on the market, but its treatment effect is very strong.

According to the prescription records, as long as the medication is taken on time, for anything not extremely severe, it can be basically cured in one to two months.

Currently, the number of people suffering from heart disease nationwide has surpassed 20 million and is increasingly affecting younger people.

Many young people in their twenties and thirties, under the multiple pressures of work, family, and mental stress, are prominently developing sub-health diseases that were previously common in the elderly, such as hypertension and heart disease.

Moreover, the heart disease medications available on the market are hard to cure the disease; they can only control the condition with long-term use.

This is directly related to those pharmaceutical companies deliberately reducing drug efficacy during development; after all, under capitalism, profits come first.

The power of the state is limited, although national health insurance is gradually trying to make these drugs affordable for ordinary people.

But the cost behind it is unimaginable, involving the market and a massive influx and outflow of funds.

In short, it’s still business!

It’s just that the state steps in to directly negotiate the deals.

This never solves the root of the problem.

A box of medicine that costs only a few cents to produce is sold at dozens, hundreds, or even a thousand times the price.

Some say the research and development costs are high, and Qin Feng admits that initial R&D investment is high for some drugs; still, they can’t remain expensive for ten or twenty years, and instead of reducing, prices keep rising?

In the end, ordinary people can only stare at the medicine, sigh, and wait powerlessly.

And this time, Qin Feng aims to break the malicious monopoly in the pharmaceutical industry!

He wanted those pharmaceutical companies that intentionally lowered drug efficacy and monopolized prices to open up the market voluntarily, or otherwise face ruin!

Isn’t it just about pouring in money?

Compete in R&D, he has plenty of recipes, and compete in funding, the system provides it continuously.

He wants to change the destiny of millions!

“Brother Qiao, I’ve seen the report from the research center; there should be no problems with the Phase III trial.”

Qin Feng thought for a moment and then said,

“I’ll contact a pharmaceutical company to set up a production line, but you might need to help with the supply of raw materials.”

“That’s no problem, but will any pharmaceutical companies want to be part of this, given how low the profit is?”

Qiao Changping heard his words, with a bit of doubt.

The cost of this heart disease medication has been given by the research center, each pill costs only one dime.

That means a month-long course only costs less than ten yuan.

Bear in mind, a big bag of Banlangen at the pharmacy is already twenty to thirty yuan.

“Don’t worry, Brother Qiao, the pharmaceutical companies I have won’t refuse, and at least initially, we can ensure a complete cleansing of the domestic heart disease medication market.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng flashed a confident smile, a determined sharpness in his eyes.

He holds 30% of Hengrui Pharmaceutical shares, which almost means he holds the group’s fate.

If Qin Feng manipulated the market by selling these 30% shares, he could instantly collapse this thousand-billion-dollar empire.

Moreover, he currently has more than just one pharmaceutical company at hand.

He can merge and consolidate at any time, and within half a month, he can revamp them into top global pharmaceutical groups, funneling everything back into the country.

Limitless R&D and funds are his greatest confidence!

“Alright then, I’ll handle the raw materials.”

Qiao Changping said yes without further ado.

This is an obligation. If they could indeed shuffle the domestic pharmaceutical industry, even if the profit is only 10%, they are fearless!

Because no one else could manage it!

“Oh right, Brother Qiao, I can’t let you do this for nothing.

After passing Phase III, during the patent protection period, you can profit through the raw material supply, consider it your compensation.

Hehe~”

“Really?”

As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, Qiao Changping was quite surprised.

“Yes, in fact, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, just never told you. Thank you for your hard work.”

Qin Feng said seriously, something he had long thought through.

Qiao Changping is a patriotic entrepreneur, and reasonably both should earn something.

“Alright, then I won’t refuse. Thank you, Qin Feng!”

After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Changping firmly accepted.

Only then did Qin Feng reveal a gratifying smile, feeling thoroughly relieved inside.

He didn’t expect everyone to be like him, because he has a system, while others need to make a living.

Qin Feng calculated, if raw materials are controlled well, based on the entire domestic market, Qiao Changping should at least earn roughly 20% from raw material prices as profit.

Though small in individual size, the sheer volume withstands this!

The Antarctic Dominance achieved global number one by reaping from Jiuzhou Country’s immense domestic market!

…

After work,

Qin Feng returned home happily, opened the door to find Liu Yan’Er sitting at the table picking vegetables.

The freshly bought prawns were still lively and nearly jumped out of her hand.

“You’re back!”

As Liu Yan’Er saw him walk in, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

“Are you planning to cook for me?”

Qin Feng walked up behind her, wrapped his arms around her slim waist, and his lips curled into a smile.

“Yes, I went to the supermarket and saw these prawns, big and fresh, so I got some for you.”

Liu Yan’Er’s cheeks flushed slightly, she nodded and said,

“But…”

“But what?”

“But I failed twice, these are the only ones left.”

Liu Yan’Er lowered her head a bit embarrassed and pointed towards the kitchen shyly.

Qin Feng was startled, glimpsing through the kitchen door’s glass, saw two plates of slightly burnt prawns, and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

“The… the sweet and sour sauce was too hard to make! It’s not… not my fault!”

Seeing him in a daze, Liu Yan’Er anxiously stood up to explain,

“I… I noticed you really like the sweet and sour prawns my mom makes, so I wanted to make some for you, but… mm~”

As she spoke, tears started welling up in her eyes, causing Qin Feng’s heart to soften, and he gently stopped her from speaking further.

Two minutes later…

“You rascal.”

“Let’s go, I have good news to celebrate today, I’ll take you out for dinner.”

With that, Qin Feng took her to the kitchen to wash their hands.

“Wait, wait, wait~ What about these prawns?”

Liu Yan’Er was a bit anxious.

Click~ Click~

“Don’t eat them yet! They haven’t been peeled!”

Before she could finish, Qin Feng had already devoured all the prawns.

They tasted slightly bitter~~~

The sweet and sour sauce was overcooked.

“I’ve finished them, okay?”

He lifted his head, looking at the surprised Liu Yan’Er.

“You… you really are something.”

Liu Yan’Er, with a mix of tenderness and apology in her expression, tiptoed to kiss him on the lips.

——-

Two hours later, urged by Liu Yan’Er, they left the house.

Qin Feng drove to Jiangcheng’s most famous Chinese restaurant, Jiangcheng Impression.

This is the most authentic and renowned Jiang-Zhe cuisine restaurant in Jiangcheng!

“Oh? Someone is having a birthday party here today~”

Just as they stepped in, Liu Yan’Er noticed a large sign at the entrance, saying ’Pan Mansion’s Birthday Banquet, Please Proceed to the Second Floor’
