Gu Feng didn't say much, just asked back and said:

"I have some impression that there seems to be a pharmaceutical factory under the name of your Melchior family, right?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Melchiol nodded and said, "Our family's industries are spread all over the world. In fact, many large families with a long history do this.

Not only layouts in several industries, but even in several countries. Eggs cannot be placed in the same basket.

This is common sense that many big families can be passed down from generation to generation and survive until now. In the field of medicine, our Melchior family also has investments.

Even, for a time, I was particularly optimistic about the pharmaceutical industry and once invested heavily in this industry.

It’s just a pity that this industry cannot be entered by just investing capital.

In fact, the current medical industry has been controlled by several major companies. After a century of development, they all hold a large number of patent rights.

Moreover, they also have the right to speak in the pharmaceutical industry. With the protection of patent rights that are extremely beneficial to them, it is almost impossible for any newly developed drug to bypass the threshold of the patents they set.

They have already formed a de facto monopoly on the global pharmaceutical industry through this method. It is almost impossible for any new entrant to bypass this barrier.

In fact, this is not beneficial to the development of the pharmaceutical industry. However, those large pharmaceutical companies have occupied the moral commanding heights, saying that they invested a lot of money when they were developing and researching, so they have to protect these patents so that people's enthusiasm can be protected...

Humph! In fact, no one can tell that the discerning person can't tell. They have already made back the profits they invested more than ten times.

Now, they are not trying to recover costs or something. They are just trying to monopolize the market and not allowing others to intervene in and cut the cake.

Although our Melchior family is also an old family in Citi, we have no say in the pharmaceutical industry.

When I increased my investment, I immediately aroused the vigilance of some people and was targeted to be encircled.

Although I have made some efforts, I found that the entire pharmaceutical industry is like a piece of iron, and it is difficult for newcomers to enter the industry.

They hold the so-called patent rights in their hands. No matter how much money we invest to develop new drugs, it is almost impossible to bypass those patent rights."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Melchiol smiled bitterly.

"Who could have imagined that the patent right that was originally set to promote the development of the pharmaceutical industry has now been used by others, forming a barrier to exclude all outsiders?

To be honest, our family invested heavily in the first place and developed several good medicines. If it could be promoted, it would be a huge blessing for mankind.

However, under the current medical system, it is almost impossible to avoid the patents held by those major pharmaceutical companies.

In the end, the huge amount of money we invested was just to make wedding clothes for others."

Mrs. Melchiol sighed softly, with a little regret and a little emotion in her tone.

"Investors in the pharmaceutical industry should indeed get the benefits they deserve. I have never opposed or denied this.

If investors do not get a return, who is willing to invest in this industry? How will this industry develop?

However, just like the current pharmaceutical industry, several world-class pharmaceutical companies have monopolized the entire industry, making it difficult to inject fresh blood...

Even became a huge barrier and barrier for newcomers. The only choice was to defect to them...

In this way, it is already deformed and unreasonable. However, as of now, this situation may be difficult to break.

At the beginning, I also gave up. After losing some funds, I stopped investing more. Our family's pharmaceutical factory is still there, but it only produces some conventional medicines, with a small scale and low profit.

It is almost impossible to make a profit by relying on it. I did not completely cancel them, maybe it was because there was a hint of luck in my heart?

I feel that one day, there may be changes in the pharmaceutical industry. Then, our Melchior family will have the opportunity to intervene.

But I know that this opportunity is actually very slim."

"Is it slim?" Gu Feng smiled faintly, "That may not be."

Today's Western medicine has indeed formed a fixed pattern.

As Mrs. Melchior said, patent protection in the pharmaceutical industry was originally a good thing.

However, to the present, it has become a barrier, an iron wall.

Because the inherent patents are almost always in the hands of those who come first. Especially the world's largest pharmaceutical companies have mastered most of the patents and the right to speak.

It makes it almost impossible for newcomers to bypass this barrier.

The remaining choices are either to withdraw from the pharmaceutical industry or to join these major pharmaceutical companies...

"Who is not standing on the shoulders of our ancestors when human civilization can continue and develop continuously?

We can see further because we stand on the shoulders of giants. However, the situation in the pharmaceutical industry is that our ancestors are unwilling to let us stand on their shoulders…”

Speaking of this, Gu Feng paused slightly, his tone changed and said:

"Oh, of course, strictly speaking, it is the giants of Western medicine who are unwilling to let everyone stand on their shoulders. Going up and standing there is not only a matter of charges, but also a review of qualifications..."

Mrs. Melchiol was speechless for a moment.

I have to admit that what Gu Feng said is the fact.

The reason why human civilization has developed to this point is because of the experience of our predecessors, which has only reached a height that has been achieved by accumulating and inheriting little by little.

But now, some people are artificially setting barriers for this inheritance.

For Citimen, that's the case.

Treat Xia Guo even more specially...

If you have money, you can't use these patents.

"However, not everyone must use their patents."

Gu Feng knew deeply why Dr. Bailey was so excited after getting these ointments, and immediately invested huge amounts of money in research and development and wanted to mass production.

It is not only because of the unique and magical effect of this ointment, but also because this ointment can bypass the barriers of the Western medical community!
