Changes in Indian Pharmaceutical Companies
Catherine Hepburn, who was taking dementia medication, might still be forgetful in her daily life, which is more like an elderly person trying to get attention.
However, judging from some subtle movements, her condition has indeed improved a lot.
The most obvious change is that she no longer stops halfway through a task, unsure of what to do next. Several times she even wet herself on the spot, crying out of shame.
Sometimes it's forgetting where the toilet is, sometimes it's genuinely forgetting what you're supposed to do, even when your bladder is bursting.
That situation is no longer happening; it seems like we've returned to normal life.
Although she still craved attention, with Kitty by her side and Catherine Hepburn having always been a very independent woman, such behavior didn't become so frequent as to be offensive.
Some older people are even worse than children. They'll cause trouble whenever their eyes aren't on them, as if they're trying to find a sense of authority as elders by behaving badly towards others.
Catherine Hepburn's condition improved, and another person who felt it most deeply was her personal nurse, Maria Stark Tom.
Because some tasks were unsuitable for Henry, a man, to handle and required the assistance of women, Maria Stark Tom's importance remained undiminished. But how could she be dissatisfied if her workload were reduced?
But the matter concerning dementia medication was far from over. Rumors from the India pharmaceutical companies began to reach out to Henry, who was in New York.
Some people are just testing the waters, while others are directly representing someone to negotiate. From their different behaviors, one can also tell how strong their respective backing is and how much real and effective intelligence they can obtain.
It's important to know that this dementia drug is only patented in India; it's a completely unavailable in Europe and America.
Had Henry not only authorized the India pharmaceutical company to manufacture and sell the drug in India, that ambitious businessman would have also wanted to use the drug to enter the European and American markets and become a large pharmaceutical company.
This new drug does indeed have this potential, and there is also the opportunity to conduct cross-sectional studies to see if it can be effective against other brain lesions.
It's possible that when they initially agreed to the collaboration, the other party was only doing so out of respect for Kingo, but their indifference led Suja Patel, the negotiator on Kingo's behalf and nephew of Karun Patel, to impose numerous restrictions on the contract.
Such restrictions alone might lead some companies to disregard the wishes of certain individuals, allowing them to drag out legal battles later.
However, one refining device in the manufacturing process can be provided by Henry. This is why other pharmaceutical companies have been unable to successfully replicate the drug based on its ingredients and the intellectual property rights in India.
This is a Nano-Scale Screening Purification Machine. It can screen specific molecules in chemical solutions to nanoscale size and remove impurities to a purity level of 99.9999999%.
This is considered a basic procedure in the medical technology of the Kree Empire and Skrull Empire.
Earth's medical technology is not yet at that level. Although the relevant technologies exist in laboratories, no one has yet realized their potential applications in medicine.
However, Henry did not explain the purpose of the machine to the India pharmaceutical company; he only instructed them that the solution must be "filtered" through this machine during the manufacturing process.
Unless the number of these machines increases, India pharmaceutical companies cannot expand production even if they want to, because the capacity of the equipment determines the upper limit of drug production.
Other pharmaceutical companies that attempted to copy the product, without this machine, naturally couldn't produce drugs with the same effects. The pharmaceutical company itself even conducted experiments showing that the effects of the finished product differed depending on whether the machine was used in the manufacturing process.
Moreover, there was only one machine, so even the most audacious India didn't dare disassemble it for reverse engineering in an attempt to copy it. This was because the contract stipulated that Henry would not provide warranty service if the machine's seal was broken.
With the machines running and the pharmaceutical production line operating normally, it's like printing money—a continuous stream of profits. Even though it doesn't require long-term use like medications for chronic diseases, this drug represents a completely untapped blue ocean in the pharmaceutical field.
If the machines are gone, production will have to stop. Anyone with a clear head knows how to do this.
If someone were to actually kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, what could Henry say but laugh? He was simply testing the drug's effectiveness; he'd already helped those he wanted to help, and the rest was best left to fate.
Although Suja Patel had negotiated a good revenue-sharing agreement for the drug production, Henry didn't care about the money. He had heard about the India ' business practices, even if Henry hadn't experienced them firsthand.
The reason they can continue to receive dividends from Stark Studios ' India subsidiary is because they have a direct partnership with Kingo, the Eternals leader who is willing to give the Kryptonian face.
However, there was a barrier between the cooperation with India pharmaceutical companies and the outside world. Henry viewed the matter with the attitude that if he got it, great; if he didn't, it was normal.
Therefore, Henry ignored India's intention, expressed through Sujait Patel, to expand production and enter the European and American markets.
On the one hand, it's because India pharmaceutical companies saw the potential for profit and used the excuse of expanding production to deduct their share of the profits, claiming they needed to reinvest.
This wasn't stipulated in the contract. And they openly threatened that if they wanted a share of the profits, they'd have to send over more "filters."
The matter escalated to the point that Kingo privately called Henry to apologize, saying, "I'm sorry, Henry, I never expected that guy to be so short-sighted as to not follow the contract."
"It's okay, I've got the most important information. The rest, I don't really care about."
"How can this be? This is what you deserve. I've already tried to get someone to help, so your share will be delayed. That's why I'm calling to let you know."
"No, Kingo, no need to trouble yourself. Just leave it to Su Jie. I also wanted to take this opportunity to see if he's any good."
"Oh, is this a test?"
"Yes, this is a test. There are some trivial matters I'm too lazy to deal with, and it would be much easier for me if I had a helper. But I don't want to just find anyone. This is a good opportunity for me to see Su Jie's abilities. Don't you dare help him cheat."
"No cheating on your own initiative. In other words, if Su Jie comes to me for help, it's okay for me to lend a hand?" Kingo asked.
"Of course, there should be limits to how much we take. Otherwise, if we really went to their door demanding money, we could bankrupt them, let alone take what they already owe us. But that's pointless. What I want to assess is what Su Jie thinks and does."
"I understand what you mean. I'll keep this a secret for you. To be honest, it's really not easy to trust a human being. I know that all too well."
"Yes, I guess I'm getting a good deal by using this money to test whether someone is capable."
Kingo said on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on that kid for you too."
Thanks.
