Chapter 410 $2 million funding
Chapter 410 $2 million grant
In European and American countries, carrying out a clinical research project, especially drug research, is really piled up with money.
Like the new drug omeprazole.
Asrila Pharmaceuticals has already invested 500 million US dollars, and the first phase of advertising and promotion alone is 20 million US dollars, which does not include follow-up investment.
It can be said that if you want to let the whole world know that you have such a good drug, the cost of publicity and distribution alone can be equal to the cost of research and development. If you are not a consortium or big capital, you will not be able to play the pharmaceutical industry at all.
Advertising alone is not enough. It is also necessary to cooperate with internationally renowned medical experts, medical associations, and medical associations. This is another huge investment.
For example, Asrila Pharmaceuticals wants to cooperate with world-renowned hospitals and famous professors such as Mayo Clinic or Cliff Clinic.
You want to exclusively sponsor them for a major project, and if you don’t have $5 million, please stand aside.
If a drug can become the exclusive drug for a common disease after a research project, for those pharmaceutical giants, investing tens of millions of dollars in project funds is a routine operation.
So 2 million US dollars, plus a lot of harsh conditions, is really the minimum standard, so low that Denilson is embarrassed.
This is only given out under the joint recommendation and guarantee of the ICPF Medical Association and Professor Segel. It feels a bit like sending beggars away.
To put it nicely, I’m sorry for the research team, but to put it bluntly, the manufacturer still doesn’t trust your research team 100%.
But for Chen Qi, especially Lan Lijuan, $2 million is definitely a great thing.
At present, in the entire Huaguo, which professor, or which expert authority holds a research group, can have so much money?
Even if you are an old expert (academician) at the level of a member of the academic department, if you apply for a project with the country and run away, they may give you tens of thousands of yuan.
2 million U.S. dollars, go to the bank to exchange it at the official exchange rate, and there will be 7 million yuan.
With so much money, it is more than enough to buy a fourth courtyard of Yuezhong.
So Lan Lijuan was so excited that she held Chen Qi’s hand tightly and never let go. She was full of confidence and fighting spirit no matter in research projects or future career planning.
Chen Qi pays more attention to the “money” itself. Is it a high requirement to see results within 3 years for $2 million?
For others, this requirement is very unreasonable. Results must be produced in 3 years, but who can guarantee 100% of medical research?
But for Chen Qi, isn’t it just “quadruple therapy”, why not study it?
Don’t say it has been 3 years, you can give him 3 hours now, and he can write out the conclusion of the entire clinical research, which is guaranteed to be the most authoritative and clinically testable.
Furthermore, according to unspoken rules in the industry, the person in charge of the project can personally take 50% of the money, that is, Lan Lijuan can put 1 million US dollars into her own pocket.
Some university professors in later generations are more ruthless.
The project is completely done by my graduate students, and they are given a monthly subsidy of several hundred to one thousand. When the results come out, it is equivalent to all the project fees falling into the professor’s personal pocket.
What’s more, if the project is successful and the conclusion is drawn, omeprazole can be quickly promoted in the international market, and there is still 2 million US dollars to be rewarded.
Professor Segel does not participate in the distribution of money. Professor Zhang Chunyi is actually a free rider, and it is enough to sponsor her for several other projects at that time.
That is the money. Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan, the two project leaders, have absolute control and have absolute right to profit.
Have you made a fortune? ! !
Can you buy more houses? ! !
Chen Qi has been a human being for two lifetimes, and he has had enough of the anger of complicated interpersonal relationships in public hospitals. His dream and other conditions are ripe. After the policy is opened up, he will open a tertiary hospital by himself.
Opening a large general hospital, good guy, the initial investment is more than one billion.
Moreover, the medical industry is an industry that requires a lot of investment and slow results. Even the capital of later generations is unwilling to enter the industry (unless it is a certain field), which shows that a large amount of capital is required to deposit.
For example, to buy a tumor radiotherapy equipment TOMO, the starting price is 50 million;
Force dual-source CT, the price is 30 million RMB per set;
In addition, 15 million magnetic resonance machines, 10 million digital subtraction angiography machines, etc., have to buy several sets as soon as they are bought.
Another example is to build a well-equipped ICU ward with more than 20 beds. If you don’t have 100 million, you can’t get it at all, and the money will flow out.
Then he will start to accumulate slowly from now on. Of course, the more money the better, making money with his own labor is not ashamed.
The negotiation between the two parties was very pleasant, and the contract was signed the next day.
Chen Qi kept an eye out, the subject of the contract was not the Yuezhong People’s Hospital, nor the Yuezhong Fourth Hospital, but signed in the names of their husband and wife.
This is to prevent some people from suffering from pink eye disease again. When the money reaches the country and is transferred to the hospital account, it will be a wolf.
These days, misappropriation of scientific research funds is commonplace, 2 million US dollars, and it will be thankful that 200,000 US dollars can be given to the research group by then.
It is best to cooperate with a foreign pharmaceutical company in the name of an individual. They are sponsoring you personally and do not involve national interests or collective interests. All project fees are kept by individuals.
Peace of mind.
Lan Lijuan, who successfully completed the task, was in a happy mood. At the invitation of Professor Segel, she went to visit Karolinska Hospital, which is one of the top ten hospitals in the world.
Chen Qi will officially start to participate in the ICPF annual meeting.
At this annual meeting, Chen Qi played the leading role again. He performed 5 public teaching surgeries and 10 flying knife surgeries.
It can be said that Chen Qi has already done the best in the world in maxillofacial plastic surgery.
Not to mention anything else, just say that his flying knife labor fee has already reached the top level. It is useless to brag about other things. The amount of flying knife fee reflects the level of a certain doctor.
But just because Chen Qi felt that he had done his best, he understood that he had come to an end in the specialty of plastic surgery.
He has already overfulfilled the task that Dean Guo gave him.
With fame, money, and social status, at least I have a place in the domestic medical circle.
Time to switch to another surgical specialty…
On the plane back, Chen Qi looked at his wife with a happy face, and his heart was still sour.
I have worked so hard for so many days and performed so many surgeries, but I only got $500,000 in flying knife fees and $50,000 in teaching surgery fees.
The result is still not as good as his wife. She easily got 2 million US dollars, even if the follow-up is not counted, she can make a net profit of at least 1 million.
This made Chen Qi aware of the gap between elementary school subjects and university subjects.
Chen Qi had previously engaged in a project of tubular nose and performed a teaching operation, and there was no one who even invested in it.
If it wasn’t for Professor Hashimoto Takeshi from Japan who wanted to hitch a ride, he wouldn’t even be able to get a $100,000 teaching surgery sponsorship.
This is the difference in the audience, and the influence is also very different.
The ICPF Society for Cleft Lip and Palate is far from comparable to the WCOG International Society of Gastroenterology. One is a rare disease and the other is a common disease. Obviously, common diseases have more market value.
Lan Lijuan lightly touched her husband: “Hey, Chen Qi, how do you start applying for this project after we return to China?”
Chen Qi thought for a while, then said sourly:
“2 million US dollars will definitely cause a sensation in the whole country. I am afraid that you will become a celebrity in the medical circle by then, and your reputation will far exceed that of a cleft lip doctor, so there will definitely be many people who want to join your research group.
You must remember that this research group can only be placed in the Yuezhong People’s Hospital. Don’t be fooled into going to the Provincial First Hospital, or other large national hospitals.
In Yuezhong, Director Guo and I are covering you, and we are also familiar with Director Sun and Director Fan above. You are in the People’s Hospital, and you have the final say on what you want to do.
But if you go to a higher-level hospital and face a large number of professors and directors, you, a young doctor who has only been working for a few years, what qualifications do you have to lead the research group? Once the dominance is not in your hands, $2 million is not enough for others to score points. ”
Lan Lijuan was a little dissatisfied:
“Don’t always be money and money. We have enough money to spend, but we can’t compete with others for money. Besides, as doctors, we must first think of how to better serve the people, not how to serve the people. CNY service!”
Chen Qi thought to himself that this silly wife is really too kind, she thinks too well of people’s hearts, obviously she is still in an ivory tower.
“Success, let’s not talk about money. In this way, Professor Zhang Chunyi will definitely be involved in your research group, so after you arrive at the People’s Hospital, you propose to President Guo to establish a brand new Department of Gastroenterology.”
“Set up a new department?”
“Yes, set up a gastroenterology department to accept patients with stomach problems, so that you can carry out clinical bactericidal experiments. You have to try the several treatment options I told you one by one to see which one has the best treatment effect, and then form a Expert consensus.
If you have a stomach problem that the internal medicine department can’t handle, you can transfer it to me at that time. You can rest assured of my surgical skills and guarantee that the operation will be perfect. At that time, you will be in charge of internal medicine and I will be in charge of surgery. We will strive to break new ground in the field of gastrointestinal diseases. ”
Chen Qi still didn’t say a word. In the future, Lan Lijuan will do hepatology and he will do liver surgery. The couple will be able to monopolize the hepatology department and become the No. 1 in the world. This is the best.
This proposal obviously moved Lan Lijuan’s heart.
This is a husband and wife making progress together and working together on a certain specialty. If they really make it, it will be a good story in the domestic medical circle.
“Success, I will do as you say, but you are going to grab the surgery business of the People’s Hospital, are you not afraid that Director Guo will kill you?”
“Hey, Lao Guo won’t beat me to death, he’s going to trick me into working in the People’s Hospital.”
“Then when will you go to the People’s Hospital?”
“Wait a little longer, the Fourth Court can’t do without me now, let’s talk about it when I bring the Fourth Court on the right track, brother, I’m only 24 years old, I have a lot of time to waste, don’t worry, don’t put too much pressure on yourself! ”
“Fart…”
