Nine hundred and twentieth chapters unite
Speaking of which, Yang Rui still pays great attention to using lawyers. Pharmaceutical companies are almost always in a state of lifelong litigation. Today, you either sue me or tomorrow I sue you. Industry insiders will inevitably be affected. At this point, not only abroad, but also in China. Just look at the status of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical. Litigation has become a daily task.
Despite this, if it weren't for Mei Qiwei's reminder, Yang Rui would have really couldn't remember to use a lawyer to do clinical tests.
This is mainly because the cost of clinical testing is too high. Even if it is just a part of the content, it costs tens of millions of dollars, not to mention time and energy. Although lawyers are rich, there are probably not many who can get rich to this level.
However, Yang Rui was not familiar with American law after all, and forgot that the American people also promoted the class action lawsuit.
In fact, class action lawsuits are the most and most annoying situation for pharmaceutical companies. In short, many people join forces to sue. The best thing is that many people don’t really need to sue. They just need to fill in some documents and one or several representatives can sue them. If they win the case, everyone will be happy to share the money. If they lose the case, there will be no much loss.
In large-scale litigation that often lasts for several years or even decades, the role of class action litigation is very critical, and it also makes large enterprises afraid to act rashly, because the amount of litigation for one person is small, so the amount of litigation that everyone unites together will be high.
For example, the common counterfeit problems in China. In terms of current laws, the amount of compensation after the lawsuit is successful is only three times or five times, no more than ten times. Except for the so-called professional counterfeiters, there are basically no ordinary consumers who sue for counterfeit goods, and the compensation is not enough to pay lawyer fees. The increase in the amount of compensation is also contrary to the spirit of the law, which is equivalent to giving rich and powerful people a weapon to destroy competitors or small businesses.
However, if a class action lawsuit is adopted, a professional counterfeiter comes forward, and the lawyer pays money and efforts, as long as others enjoy the money, the compensation amount of three or five times can play a strong role. Its deterrence to the enterprise is even more terrifying and increases the cost of manipulation of the privileged class. How much does a class action lawsuit of hundreds or thousands of people cost? How much does a class action lawsuit of tens of thousands of people cost? If a normal enterprise makes counterfeit goods, it will be more costly. Fake factories have become an illegal act, not a common phenomenon.
As for why lawyers have to pay money and work hard to sue, it is basically a high proportion of the share. The series of lawsuits in Florida and tobacco companies in the United States ultimately resulted in a compensation amount of US$13.2 billion, with attorney fees of US$3.4 billion, which was shared by 11 law firms. Law firms that litigated on behalf of shareholders of Enron recovered a huge compensation of US$7.2 billion and received $688 million in attorney fees. In the field of medicine, Merck paid US$4.85 billion for false propaganda of their painkiller, Pfizer paid US$2.3 billion in settlement funds to settle lawsuits for illegal sales of Bextra and other drugs, and Eli Lilly spent US$1.4 billion for similar reasons for different drugs...
The scale of Miki Company may not be as high as Pfizer, but it is still the Fortune 500 in the world.
Yang Rui believes that such a company is still very attractive to a locust-like lawyer.
What is important is that once the harm caused by Lu Boding is determined, the compensation is a foregone conclusion, and the problem is only how much compensation is.
With the annual sales of Sanmu Company of millions and the clinical testing costs of tens of millions of dollars, it is really a waste of time.
However, if you change your ideas, tens of millions of dollars are really not a small amount of money. Any or several law firms who want to make such a decision can be considered "daring". With Yang Rui's influence, he cannot promote this matter.
At best, he knew several patent lawyers, and the relationship between the two parties was based on money transactions, just like a prostitute who would not believe what the client said, and the lawyer would not take the client's words seriously.
Moreover, Yang Rui is not suitable to promote this matter.
He is now playing the role of a scholar. If he goes directly to a class action lawsuit, he will be immediately filthed by holy money.
Scholars stick to the golden light of money, just like steak smearing shit. Only a few people will carefully distinguish between cow shit or human shit, and finally decide whether to eat it. Regardless of whether or not, it is certain that there is less audience. Scholars also need to be praised by others. No matter how powerful scholars are, they will starve to death.
By the way, cow dung barbecue is a good delicacy. It is rare to coat cow dung meat, and it is not delicious. Otherwise, in the thousands of years of human history, among so many cow dung barbecue, there is always a piece of meat that will fall into cow dung while grilling. Some people are reluctant to throw it away and pick it up and continue to grill. However, this way of eating has never spread like cow dung barbecue, stinky tofu or cheese. It must be not delicious. Complete logical thinking may allow you to get the correct answer without being safe.
In the final analysis, Yang Rui can only wait.
This feeling is not very good, but I can only accept it.
The road is chosen by oneself, and no matter how far or tired you are, you can't complain.
In addition, with the release of the China Youth Daily, Yang Rui's pressure in China has not increased.
Jingxi Pharmaceutical General Factory will not give up on Lu Boding. Whether it is the current situation of the factory or the forced force of Sanmu Company, Qin Hanchi is trapped deeper and deeper, and it is already a banner that resists Yang Rui.
Qin Hanchi naturally doesn't want this flag. What's the good thing about the members of the GMP committee? Don't think that the Ministry of Health now sympathizes with him. If you have something to do here, you won't like him more.
Qin Hanchi also knew this, so he tried his best to collect alliances.
Jiang Tonghua entered Qin Hanchi's eyes again at this time.
"I have a suggestion. How about you join forces with various companies and establish an association?" Jiang Tonghua came to Qin Hanchi this time, but he came up with a draft of tens of thousands of words.
Qin Hanchi looked ahead, and said with some emotion, and hesitation: "You are asking me to fight against the GMP committee."
"If the members of the GMP Committee say they agree, they agree. If they say they don't agree, there is no reason to disagree." Jiang Tonghua said and said, "I am also a member of the GMP Committee. I can't even see Yang Rui's approach. Can you just let it go?"
"Of course I can't forget it..."
"So, don't I provide you with a solution? You join forces with several companies to go to the leaders of the ministries and commissions to talk to them. No matter how much Yang Rui does, as long as the leaders of the ministries speak, the GMP committee will be useless."
"We also want to think about it, but we never have a good chance."
"The leader is definitely unwilling to intervene now, so you have to set up an association. With the name of the association, no matter how unwilling the leader, you have to understand the situation first." Jiang Tonghua not only wanted to disgust Yang Rui, but he was also worried about his position in the GMP committee. After this, Yang Rui had at least established a strong reputation, but Jiang Tonghua was still in a transparent state. At the same time, he did not have the confidence to compete with Yang Rui in academic terms, so he naturally could only find out the forces outside the hospital.
If Qin Hanchi really could establish an out-of-hospital pharmaceutical company association, Jiang Tonghua believed that he would be qualified to contact the center and gain some power.
But this way, Qin Hanchi's responsibility will be great.
If the leaders of the ministries do not think that an association outside the hospital will be established, but if the leaders of the ministries are unhappy, Qin Hanchi will inevitably suffer anger.
The Jingxi Pharmaceutical General Factory suffered a loss, which is a non-war crime. Qin Hanchi's position as the director of the factory is still stable. However, the leaders of the ministries and commissions were unhappy, and Qin Hanchi's position was in turmoil.
Qin Hanchi hesitated and said, "This is suspected of forcing the palace."
Jiang Tonghua smiled and said, "What other way do you have to go besides forcing the palace?"
Qin Hanchi smiled bitterly: "I have no way out, and other companies may not."
"Your factory cannot be anxious for Lu Bo. Could it be that other factories are just green lights all the way?" Jiang Tonghua said and handed over a piece of paper.
"What is this?" Qin Hanchi did not answer.
"The list of factories that have been 'not approved' by the GMP committee has recently added several."
Qin Hanchi hesitated for a moment, but still took it into his hand.
Jiang Tonghua suddenly felt relaxed. Nowadays, pharmaceutical companies include Sino-foreign joint ventures and sole proprietorships of foreign companies, but they are mainly state-owned enterprises, and they are all state-owned enterprises that can earn foreign exchange. These enterprises are relatively weak individually. When they join forces to advise the leaders of ministries and commissions, they are still very influential.
In Jiang Tonghua's view, Yang Rui's "no approval" really lacks reason.
