Director Wei has been friends with Guan Yuntian for more than ten years. Although they don't meet often, she has always paid attention to the development of Changda Group. Whenever the company encounters any problems, Wei always actively solves them without violating the principles.

Find ways to help Guan Yuntian.

Seeing Guan Yuntian's worried look, Lao Wei asked with concern: "As far as I know, the pharmaceutical industry is very strict about production licenses and drug approvals. Since these procedures are complete, what else makes you so worried?"

"Changda Pharmaceutical Factory makes finished drugs. You know that making finished drugs requires raw materials. We are now encountering difficulties in the source of raw materials." Guan Yuntian said.

"APIs are the main raw materials for patent medicines. Wasn't such an important matter fully considered during the early preparation of the project?" Lao Wei is in charge of planning and has been dealing with enterprises for a long time. She is very familiar with the decision-making process of industrial enterprises.

"I have considered it, and I have signed a supply contract with the API manufacturer before deciding to do the next step."

"What's going on?"

"We had everything ready, but the quality of the raw materials supplied by the manufacturer was not up to standard, which put us into a passive position." Guan Yuntian said.

"Isn't there a contract? The supplier should be held accountable."

"Even if we file a lawsuit and take the supplier to court, it will not be helpful in solving our urgent need for raw materials, and it will take a lot of energy." Guan Yuntian said helplessly.

"Yes, but why don't you look for other supply channels? They can't be the only ones producing this kind of API in the country, right?"

"Hey, it's such a coincidence. Apart from two very large pharmaceutical companies, the only company in the country that produces this kind of API is Fengyuan Chemical Company."

"Oh, no wonder you are in such a dilemma! But why don't you go to those two large pharmaceutical companies to buy raw materials?" Director Wei said.

"We have inquired and found out that the two very large pharmaceutical companies make both APIs and finished drugs. The APIs they produce are generally not sold to the outside world," Guan Yuntian said.

"No external sales? Are those two pharmaceutical companies from within the province or outside the province?"

"One is a health pharmaceutical group company in our province, and the other is an enterprise from other provinces. We have contacted both of these units, and the opinions are similar."

"Companies from other provinces have no choice but to deal with this health pharmaceutical company in the province. I'll ask my friends at the Provincial Medical Administration Bureau to find out what's going on."

Director Wei grabbed the phone in front of her and dialed a number. After the call was connected, she said, "Is this Director Huang? I'm Wei from the Development and Reform Department."

"Old Wei, Director Wei? Hello, hello! What instructions do you have?"

"A friend wants to buy an API from Kangjian Pharmaceutical Company. It is said that they generally do not sell it to outsiders. Can you help me find out?" Director Wei reported the name of the API.

"Kangjian Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. is a very large pharmaceutical company and is well-known throughout the country. It is really difficult to talk to us now. People are also keeping a distance from us administrative departments. It is difficult for us to say too much. After all, they are enterprises and their main consideration is the economy.

benefit,"

"There is nothing wrong with companies paying attention to economic benefits! It's not like you don't have to pay for their raw materials. According to the market price, it's not a penny less. Please help me ask." Old Wei and Director Huang are old friends for many years.

Friends, it’s easier to talk.

"Okay, just wait for my call." Lao Huang said simply.

More than ten minutes later, Lao Huang called back and said, "Director Wei, I asked for you. The situation is the same as what you said. Kangjian Pharmaceutical Company's APIs are indeed not sold to outsiders because they make both APIs and finished drugs.

, export raw materials, fear of being in the hospital

The pharmaceutical market competes with them."

"So that's the reason. It's understandable. But if you, the director, come forward, they have to give you face no matter what they say, right?" Director Wei said.

"Oh, what kind of face is that? What does a director mean to them? I tried hard to talk, and finally agreed to sell part of it to your friend, but the price is non-negotiable."

"In other words, whatever price they quote is that price, and you can't negotiate?"

"Yes." Lao Huang conveyed the quotation from Kangjian Pharmaceutical Company.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Huang. I will come back to you when I need you."

Guan Yuntian was sitting opposite Director Wei. He heard the content of the phone call clearly. The price of API quoted by the other party was 20% higher than that of Fengyuan Chemical!

Putting down the phone, Old Wei said: "You can buy the raw materials of Kangjian Pharmaceutical Company, but you can't negotiate the price. What do you think?"

"I heard the other party's quotation. Their price is 20% higher than the market price. To put it bluntly, this move of Kangjian Pharmaceutical Company not only gives Director Huang face, but also does not want the transaction to be completed." Guan Yuntian

road.

"So, you can't accept their quotation for API?"

"Unless it is a last resort, this price of APIs is unacceptable. After all, the profit of drugs is only so much. If the price of APIs is 20% higher than the market price, the profits will be taken away by APIs. Enterprises that produce finished drugs

Isn’t it just like working in vain?”

"That's right. It seems that this health pharmaceutical company is really hard to talk to."

"I understand their approach very well. After all, who wants to have another competitor? But Director Wei, I still want to thank you and Director Huang. When you have time, you can invite him out. I want to treat him to dinner, because Chang

Da Group has crossed over into the pharmaceutical industry again. Since we are engaged in this industry, we must be prepared to deal with its competent authorities." Guan Yuntian said.

"You always move things forward, which is really good. You avoid being blinded by problems and not knowing anyone. Even my old Su spoke highly of you and said you are not the kind of person who wants to make friends with you anytime.

People who cross rivers and burn bridges." This is also what Lao Wei has experienced over the years.

"Director Wei, thank you. I'm not as good as you said. By the way, I only talked about greetings when we met, and almost forgot the main mission of coming here." Guan Yuntian suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, do you have any other tasks?"

Guan Yuntian took out a piece of information from his bag and handed it to Old Wei, "Director Wei, please take a look at this."

In front of Guan Yuntian, it was impossible for Lao Wei to read the contents in detail, but when she saw the cover of the material clearly stating "Research and Development of High-Energy Battery Electrolytes and Separator Materials", she asked in surprise: "What are you doing?

Develop high-energy batteries?”

"Yes, Changda Group and the New Materials Research Institute are jointly developing high-energy batteries and their electrolytes and separator materials. The small-scale test results of the technology are provided by the New Materials Research Institute, and the process scale-up test is currently being done by the Changda Group." Guan Yuntandao

.

"Your project vision is really unique and advanced. How did you come up with the idea of ​​developing this project? High-energy storage batteries are the foundation of the future energy revolution! Their electrolytes and separator materials are the key to determining battery performance." Lao Wei praised.

"Director Wei, actually I have to thank you for this."

"Thank me? In my mind, I wish I had never mentioned this to you."

"Although you haven't mentioned it, this matter is related to you. I still remember that when Changda Real Estate Company first arrived in the provincial capital, it was here. I asked you to introduce some consultants to me. I saw them on your desk at that time.

That 'Provincial Industrial Development Guide'." Guan Yuntiandao.

"That's what happened, no

In my impression, it seems that this project was not involved, right?" Lao Wei recalled.

"Yes, I was very interested in the solar power generation project at that time, so I copied the relevant information and brought it back to my unit. During the research on the solar power generation project, our general manager consulted one of her high school classmates about the situation. Then

A classmate graduated from 985 University with a Ph.D. in materials science and is now the project leader of the New Materials Research Institute. He told our general manager that solar power generation as an industry has already developed and taken shape, and it is not appropriate to enter now. He suggested

Changda Group is concerned about the development of high-energy batteries, and his reasons are similar to what you said."

"Yes, this project is indeed very good, but to succeed in this field, both technical and economic strength are indispensable. After all, the early stage of this project is a money-burning stage, but without technical guarantee, it is difficult for the project to move forward.

Advance. It should be said that the cooperation between Changda Group and the Institute of New Materials of the Academy of Sciences is a perfect match!" Lao Wei said sincerely.

"Director Wei, we heard that the policy provides strong support for this kind of project, but I don't know which functional departments should be responsible for this kind of project. This time I am here mainly to ask you about this issue." Guan Yuntian said.

"What did I think it was? It turns out it's a problem in this area. It's very simple. For projects like this, the departments of development and reform, science and technology, and industry and information technology must support it."

"Director Wei, I have brought some information about this project. Do you think it is appropriate for us to apply directly to the provincial functional departments?" Guan Yuntian asked tentatively.

"What's inappropriate? Such a project, with the limited funds of the county and city-level functional departments, is probably a drop in the bucket, right?"

"Thank you, Director Wei, for your advice. Once we have revised and finalized the application materials, we will submit them as soon as possible." As for the so-called special support funds, companies have eligible projects. You must also know that there is such a thing. As long as you apply, you can generally get the functions.

If you don’t know about the department’s support, even if there are qualified projects, no one will tell the company how to do it. Guan Yuntian understands this very well.

After bidding farewell to Director Wei, Guan Yuntian went to the provincial office of Changda Real Estate Company and had lunch there. Seeing that the real estate company was running smoothly, he returned to the Changda Group headquarters that afternoon. Now, Guan Yuntian's main focus is on

At the Changda Pharmaceutical Factory, because it is shutting down to wait for materials.

Judging from what he learned during his trip to the provincial capital, Guan Yuntian still hopes that Fengyuan Chemical's ongoing experiments to improve the quality of the original drug can achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible. Even if he can buy Kangjian Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. through Director Huang of the Medical Administration Administration

API, but the price was 20% higher than the market price, which was hard for him to accept.

A week has passed, and there has been no news from Lao Chen of Fengyuan Chemical, which makes Guan Yuntian very anxious. The holiday given to the employees of the pharmaceutical factory was only half a month. If the problem of raw materials cannot be solved during this period,

The question is, will the employees of the pharmaceutical factory be allowed to return to work at the time?

From the beginning of his business to now, this is the first time Guan Yuntian has faced such a dilemma, and it has nothing to do with Changda Group's own operating conditions. If you say you don't feel useless, that is definitely a lie!

On the tenth day, there was no news about Lao Chen. Guan Yuntian couldn't sit still. He thought for a while, grabbed the phone on the table and dialed a number, "Hey, is this Mr. Chen?"

Old Chen recognized Guan Yuntian's voice, "Mr. Guan, I was about to call you."

"Oh, what's going on? Is there any progress in your experiments to improve product quality?" Guan Yuntian asked anxiously.

"I just learned about the test results. It is said that the content of the latest batch of samples has increased to 99.5%."
Chapter completed!
