Chapter 629: Chapter 402 Commercial Espionage

The news of a major breakthrough in the development of the African Z vaccine naturally reached Gao Yuan’s ears very quickly...

"Oh, succeeded again, eh..."

Tang Yun tugged at the corner of her mouth, seemingly unsurprised.

Not showing the strange disappointment like last time, she had managed her expression well...

Having been unfazed by breakthroughs as significant as the one for Alzheimer’s disease, it was only normal for her to be composed in response to some swine vaccine, right?

Gao Yuan’s indifferent reaction to this technological breakthrough certainly didn’t mean she didn’t value it.

On the contrary, she had already prioritized this swine vaccine technology as a key development project for Changqing Biological in the near term.

But to Gao Yuan, similar good news had become routine, hardly something to be excited about as a "surprise."

Helplessly, it seemed like that guy’s boasts always ended up coming true...

"Although the sample data is insufficient, and a large-scale trial is needed to verify the effective protection rate of the technology,

since the small-scale trial’s success rate was one hundred percent, the next phase’s data will likely not be too shabby.

It seems we need to start making early business deployment for the next phase."

Gao Yuan hadn’t forgotten the prediction Meng Lang gave her when he provided this technology.

Since his boasts had come true, obviously, she couldn’t ignore the warnings he had given...

"Chairman Gao, was the vaccine production line you purchased earlier prepared for this technology?"

Jiang Wenming was invigorated by the news of the technological breakthrough, which meant Changqing Biological’s ship would sail even further.

What surprised him, however, was Gao Yuan’s early preparation.

It was as if she had anticipated the company’s technological success and had already prepared the production line in advance.

Wasn’t that a bit too confident?

"Sort of," Gao Yuan said with an ambiguous smile.

"Our company’s next phase of development strategy is to start with animal vaccines and transition to human vaccines.

Moreover, we must not only conduct research in related fields but also expand production lines, involving ourselves in the entire industry chain of research, production, and sales!"

Between the lines, Jiang Wenming could sense Gao Yuan’s ambition.

The grand vision also stirred excitement within him.

"Chairman Gao, rest assured, once the technology is in place, our production lines here can start producing immediately!"

But Gao Yuan shook her head.

"Not enough! Even if this newly built production line can start immediately, the maximum annual capacity is only 5 million doses, which is far from sufficient."

"Er... Chairman Gao, are you saying we need to continue expanding our production capacity?" Jiang Wenmin asked in surprise.

"Correct, I hope within half a year, our production can reach more than 100 million doses annually!"

"Hiss~"

Jiang Wenming and Tang Yun both took a sharp breath in unison.

million doses? Even more?!

Isn’t that an extremely big appetite?

"This... Chairman Gao, after all, this is a new field we’ve just entered.

The sales channels are not yet established, and breaking into the market will take some time," Jiang Wenming stated with a frown.

"Yes, Chairman Gao, I also think that it would be more prudent to expand the production capacity further after our products hit the market and we see the market response," Tang Yun chimed in agreement.

"Hehe!" Gao Yuan laughed and shook her head.

Currently, there are no reports about the African Z virus domestically, and the general public is almost completely indifferent to the virus.

Therefore, Jiang Wenmin and the others had yet to realize the significance of this technology.

Inside the company, only Gao Yuan was privy to the full details of the technology and its potential for development.

According to the news Professor Zheng brought back, the Northern Country was already expressing a willingness to cooperate, hoping to apply for a technology license or even to purchase products directly.

Compared to licensing, of course, selling products directly would bring in much greater profits.

Vaccines are a lucrative industry globally recognized, with gross margins typically exceeding 90%!

That means, for a vaccine sold at 100 units, 90 units are profit, making vaccines as lucrative as Moutai!

It is because of this terrifying profit margin that vaccines are known as the gleaming pearl at the pinnacle of medical technology, coveted by all top pharmaceutical groups...

By comparison, although the gross margin for animal vaccines is not as exaggerated as that for human vaccines, it comfortably exceeds 80%!

The key is, according to the technology expectations provided by Meng Lang, this vaccine strain can be efficiently cultivated in primary porcine bone marrow cells.

The primary cells from a healthy piglet can produce at least 200,000 doses of vaccine, so with production lines in place, mass production conditions are fully met!

Gao Yuan had roughly estimated the market demand: with just the Northern Country alone, there is a nearly 40 million annual slaughter volume of pigs.

Not to mention, Country Hua is a major pig farming nation with an annual output close to 700 million.

Plus, demand from all around the world where "brothers" suffer from the African Z virus long...

million doses, this was Gao Yuan’s conservative planning without being too extreme!

"Waiting for market response is too late, you need to have confidence in the technology developed by Professor Zheng!"

Gao Yuan didn’t want to explain too much to the two, after all, Meng Lang’s prediction was not a secret that could be openly shared...

"That’s settled then, Manager Jiang, you are in charge of expanding production capacity as quickly as possible, I am giving you full autonomy, and the company’s finance department will also try to support you as much as possible."
