Chapter 989 Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group

Early in the morning, Fan Wubing, Shen Ying and others visited the key pharmaceutical group in Donghai Province.

Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group was formed in 1994 by merging the state-owned pharmaceutical factories in four cities in Donghai Province. It is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the country, with more than 20,000 employees and annual sales of more than 15 billion yuan. It has brought considerable economic benefits to Donghai Province, especially in the field of biopharmaceuticals, and has been at the forefront of the country.

Although Fan's Investment Group has a wide range of businesses, it is indeed a blank in the pharmaceutical field. It is not that it has not considered this aspect, but that there are too many professionals required in this area and the entry threshold is relatively high. If it is just to manufacture some basic drugs, it is not a problem. It is nothing more than assembly lines and labor. However, if it comes to the problem of opening, it requires a large number of high-end talents to participate.

This aspect is the weakness of Fan's Investment Group. After all, although there is technical accumulation, it is in other aspects. There is no advantage in biopharmaceuticals, even the foundation is not much.

Accompanied by a deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, Fan Wubing and others visited Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group and inquired about the basic situation of the group. They felt that Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group still had the possibility of further development.

At present, the domestic medical reform can be regarded as a complete failure. Without sufficient financial support, it is obviously not feasible to solve practical problems through flexible means. Only after the economy develops can the goal of medical reform be achieved.

At this time, the domestic pharmaceutical market can be said to be the most chaotic. A few cents of medicine can be sold for hundreds of yuan. This is obviously caused by the disorder under the system transformation. Due to the lack of effective supervision, or even supervision without supervision, the government departments do not act, or directly get together with interest groups, and consciously use administrative means to tilt the interests to a certain interest group, and finally achieve the purpose of dividing the interests in the reform. It is no longer a very obscure thing.

However, this kind of interest transfer is generally carried out in private pharmaceutical companies. Large state-owned pharmaceutical companies such as Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group have rich incomes, but due to the system, the goals are too big and the attention is too high, so it is not easy to transfer interests.

However, the ** problems that arise through the sales link are obviously not included in this list. This is why, although Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group has an annual sales volume of about 15 billion, its income is surprisingly small, and sometimes it even exceeds its income.

The leaders of Donghai Province are also a little annoyed by the problems of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group, but no one can find a solution to the problem. Therefore, this has always been a concern for the leaders of the province. After all, the problem of more than 20,000 employees is not a small problem. Once Haizhou Pharmaceutical falls, the impact will be huge.

Although some people have proposed to completely reform Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group,

introduce strategic investors, such as introducing foreign capital for reform, in order to achieve the goal of changing the status quo, but because the asking price of several foreign-funded and Hong Kong-funded enterprises is too high and the number of employees required to be laid off is too large, it has not been finalized.

This time, Wu Fukuan arranged Fan Wubing and his party to visit here. In fact, he was also thinking about whether he could cooperate deeply with Fan's Investment Group to solve the problems of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group and his own blockage in one fell swoop.

Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Government Lv Zhitong knew Governor Wu Fukuan's thoughts very well, so he enthusiastically introduced the situation of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group to Fan Wubing and Shen Ying, and also made the intention of Donghai Province very clear, which was nothing more than hoping to accomplish this matter and show his face in front of Governor Wu Fukuan.

Fan Wubing did not comment on this, because the problem in the field of medicine and health care was indeed quite big. It was not difficult for him to swallow Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group, and he could also formalize the enterprise or go public, and he didn't even need to invest much money, but he now needed to comprehensively weigh the pros and cons of investing in this enterprise.

If you want to do business in the field of medicine, generally speaking, you have to work hard at several levels. The first part is naturally the Medical Supervision Bureau, the department that sets standards. Although this department is a newly established department, it has a lot of authority in the pharmaceutical industry. If you don't get this part, you can't get anything done.

In fact, although the number of people in the Medical Supervision Bureau is small and they do not do much, they actually have great power and control the power of new drug approval. If you do not buy off these people, many things cannot be carried out. Their appetite has always been big. If they want to pass the approval of a new drug, they will pay hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan. If it is a popular unique technology, it will be even more. It is not uncommon to pay tens of millions of yuan in public relations fees.

In this era, the income of prefecture-level officials often exceeds 10 million or even 100 million yuan. As the heads of the Medical Supervision Bureau who hold the power of national medical supervision, the benefits are even more astonishing, and they have reached the point where they cannot swallow it alone.

In fact, Fan Wubing himself is also very clear that corruption in government departments is often a nest of cases. It is difficult for one person to achieve great things, especially in this industry where everyone can see the benefits. Collective fraud is a consensus, and no one can eat alone. If someone really does that, he would have been envied and betrayed by everyone.

Whether it is an honest official or a corrupt official, it is very important to follow the mass line, which is also the basis for governing a place.

There is also a very important issue, which is to do the work in the circulation process. This part is more troublesome, mainly for sales, such as the terminal consumption department of medicine, major pharmaceuticals, etc.

I won’t mention whether your medicine is good or not, but once the medicine is produced, it must be consumed. Where does the right to consume medicines lie? Except for some over-the-counter drugs, the right to use most highly profitable drugs is actually in the hands of doctors. Which medicine to prescribe, which company's medicine to prescribe, and how much medicine to use are all decided by the attending doctor. They have the final say.

You can do other people's work, but if the doctor doesn't buy your account, it will be in vain in the end.

Although the entire medical system has been completely revolutionized, and everyone from the dean to the attending doctor has entered the medical channel, it does not rule out that the other party will not like you and switch to drugs from other companies.

Therefore, doctors are actually a key link in the entire pharmaceutical industry.

Of course, if you are capable enough and allocate your basic drugs and commonly used drugs directly to the terminal consumption department through apportionment through the relevant competent authorities, then there is no need to say so much. But those who can do this are naturally very capable and can be counted on one's fingers, and they can't do it at all. If something happens to you, it's easy to capsize in the gutter, especially when an enemy is targeting you. when.

As for the intermediate production process, there is actually nothing to say. As long as there are no major problems with your medicines, you have some conscience during production, the dosage is almost sufficient, and there is as little adulteration as possible. What big problems could arise? For example, companies that use radishes as ginseng and starch as medicinal powder are basically three-no enterprises operating without a license. Big companies will definitely disdain it. The cost of crime is too high. If it gets bigger, it will be a scandal once it is revealed.

Lu Zhitong, deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, accompanied Fan Wubing and Shen Ying to see the production situation, and then took them to the research department. They put on white coats and protective masks, and then entered the laboratory to visit Haizhou Medicine. The group’s new drug research and development status.

"Our Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group's research capabilities are quite good. We have 13 medical doctors, more than 160 master's degrees in medicine and related majors, and even more employees with bachelor's degrees. That's thousands." The CEO of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group said from the side, "However, in recent times, private pharmaceutical companies have been poaching people very hard. The business conditions of the company have been unable to improve, and the welfare benefits of employees cannot be improved. This problem is very serious. ”

Fan Wubing nodded, and he understood why the leaders of Donghai Province were so anxious to launch Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group. The dependence of the pharmaceutical industry on technical talents is self-evident. If technical talents are all If it runs away, no matter how big the shell is left, it will be of no use.

If a large pharmaceutical company loses its research and development capabilities, it will have to rely on producing other people's medicines to survive, and then it will be reduced from a boss to a wage earner. How much money can I earn from working for others? Obviously it won't be much, and it's hard to say whether I can support such a large enterprise.

The fate of becoming an OEM company is very miserable. Just take a look at the living conditions of those OEM factories on the southeast coast that produce electronic equipment for Taiwan-funded companies, and you will understand what a sweatshop is, and the employees must live like Bonded labor is no different.

However, when Fan Wubing heard that Haizhou Medicine has 13 doctors, more than 160 masters, and thousands of undergraduates, he was still a little touched. If such a large technical team can provide If they use it themselves, the power they can exert is quite considerable.

Fan Wubing is also concerned about the loss of these talents. If Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group has any advantage that can attract it, it is these talents.

So Fan Wubing asked, "Brain drain is a big problem. If the salary problem is not improved, people's hearts will naturally not be retained. It is difficult for me to guarantee that Fan Investment Group will be attractive enough to retain them."

"Fan Investment Group is a golden brand. I'm sure that just the word Fan can stabilize the current situation of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group!" Lu Zhitong replied from the side.

The CEO of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group also nodded repeatedly. "The Fan Investment Group branch in Donghai Province and the companies affiliated to Fan are the places that young people yearn for the most. Even the senior executives of our group only feel envious when they mention Fan."

Fan Wubing smiled slightly after hearing this, but he didn't say much. In fact, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the blind obedience of everyone. The ancients said that it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. You can't rely too much on others for anything. Otherwise, He loses his independent position and becomes a vassal of others.

And becoming a vassal of others means the complete loss of self-awareness, making it difficult to achieve anything big.

However, what impact does this have on yourself? Fan Wubing shook his head, it was just that he had gained a group of high-quality workers, which was a good thing!

In short, Donghai Province hopes that Fan Investment Group will integrate Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group with a strong desire. Moreover, due to the long-term good reputation of Fan Investment Group, strong profitability, high welfare benefits for employees, etc., everyone feels most at ease. Compared with the uncertainties faced by Hong Kong-funded enterprises or other foreign-funded enterprises after acquisitions and unclear factors such as salary cuts and layoffs, everyone still thinks it is best to throw themselves into the arms of Fan.

Fan Wubing is also somewhat tempted to acquire Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group. After all, this is a good opportunity for him to enter the pharmaceutical industry. You must know that Li Ka-shing's Hutchison Whampoa has already begun to enter the traditional pharmaceutical industry in the mainland. Various princes are scrambling to seize the commanding heights of the domestic pharmaceutical industry, hoping to get a share of the pie in this chaotic medical reform. If he gives up this opportunity, it would be a bit regrettable.

The most important point is that the current inclination of Donghai Province is very conducive to the acquisition of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group. In the future, the cooperation between enterprises and local governments should also be very pleasant. The three things of time, place and people are already fully available. The acquisition of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group by myself can be said to be in line with the will of heaven and the people's hearts, and there is also policy support in the middle. It is impossible not to operate.

However, Fan Wubing has not made a clear statement for the time being. This is a verbal agreement with Chang Zhitong and the general manager of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group. After that, a professional inspection team of about dozens of people will be sent within the month to conduct a comprehensive assessment of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group to determine whether Fan should acquire Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group.

"If the opinions of the inspection team are clear, then in terms of specific conditions, even if I suffer a little loss, it is not a big problem." Fan Wubing expressed his position to Lv Zhitong and the general manager and executives of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group.

Everyone is very welcome to Fan Wubing's attitude. What he said means that Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group is likely to become a subsidiary of Fan Investment Group, or at worst a holding subsidiary jointly operated by Fan and Donghai Province. Since Fan Wubing said that the conditions can be relaxed, then everyone's treatment will only get better, not worse.

At noon, they were supposed to have dinner at the hotel of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group, but Fan Wubing said that there was no need to be so extravagant, and it would be good to have some employee meals to experience life. "The first update of the day is here. I went out for a while, so the update is late. Please forgive me." One...
