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 t o 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 i n 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 t o 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 t o 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 o f 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.
