In Smith's opinion, it was both unexpected and yet justified that the White House wanted the patent for the Apothecary Restoration Pill. As soon as the health department reported such information to the White House, they would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity. However, it was not up to them to decide whether they would be able to get the patent or not.
This kind of medicine was like a super money printing machine, and as long as anyone had a little vision, it would simply be impossible for him to sell the patent.
However, Smith did not disappoint the other party but instead, he readily agreed and said, "I will try my best to promote this matter after I meet the person-in-charge."
Upon saying that, Smith added, "But I'm afraid that I will not be able to handle such a big matter alone. Do you think that the White House will want to send a few negotiators over here?"
The Minister of Health immediately said, "It's not convenient or good for the White House to come out directly for this kind of matter. If word gets out to the public, people will mistakenly think that the White House is intending to control the medical field. Once
the governments around the world start to intervene in this matter, it will be difficult for us to promote it."
The other party also instructed, "You should check the other party out privately first when you go over there this time. If the other party is interested in making the move but wants more money, I will instruct the person -in-charge at Johnson and Johnson to come forward to buy the patent from them."
Smith was secretly stunned as he thought to himself,' The White House is indeed very good at operating this kind of matter. They learn of this news first, and then, when they want to get their hands on it, they use a top big company such as Johnson and Johnson in order to carry out their scheme. Wouldn't things be perfect for them as soon as Johnson and Johnson get the patent for this top drug, then?'
At this time, the other party continued instructing him, "Smith, you have to do everything that you can possibly do to promote this matter when you land. As soon as the patent is successfully secured by the United States, Johnson and Johnson will spend at least a few percentages of their sales a year to manage their relationships and connections, including you and me. This is a good deal!"
Smith could not help but feel a little shocked.
Once this drug had the opportunity to be fully marketed, it could reach an annual sale of one hundred billion US dollars easily. A few percentages of it would be at least several billion US dollars.
If several billion US dollars were to be taken out to manage their relationships and connections, even if Smith could only get a small portion, it would be worth a few billion US dollars at least.
As Smith thought of this, he could not help but feel excited as he said, "I will do my best to facilitate this matter!"
The other party responded in
satisfaction and said," Smith, the White House also gave further instructions. If you cannot get the patent for this drug, you should at least try to crack the formula for this drug. However, your son has already eaten all of the seven pills that you have gotten before this, and there is nothing left as a sample for us. So, this time, you have to bring some Apothecary Restoration Pills back with you." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Smith was surprised, and he asked, "We will crack the other party's formula directly if we cannot get the patent license? Wouldn't it be

system, then? Wouldn't it be risky for us to do so?"
"What are you afraid of?" The other party did not seem to care at all as he said, "We certainly will not do this kind of things ourselves. When the time comes for us to crack the

formula, we will hand the the he
Smith instantly understood the other party's intention at this time.
If they could not buy it in an outright manner, they would secretly steal it instead.
After stealing it, they would put it to production in India so as to avoid any legal risks.
India's generic drugs had always been well-known all around the world, and the reason why they could blatantly imitate a variety of drugs was because the country's laws did not recognize pharmaceutical patents. So, this kind of thing was not illegal in India.
Smith felt somewhat resistant to this strategy in his heart.
After all, he came from an academic background, and he had great profound respect for pharmaceutical patents, just like how authors had the greatest respect for copyright.
Asking Smith to participate in the piracy of drug patents was equivalent to asking an author who had been in business for many years and had a deep affection for creative works to engage in plagiarism.
He really did not want to participate or get involved in this kind of matter.
So, he could only say, "I understand. I will try to find a way to facilitate the matter relating to the patent. I will let you know immediately when there's news."
The other party did not say much and instructed," Contact me immediately when you have any news."
"Okay."
