Chapter 345 Opening the Door

Alan Wilson really don’t understand what the other side hesitates, British India is the most suitable drug testing ground on this earth, there are three reasons: firstly, the regulations are loose, the threshold is low; secondly, India has a massive population, wide genetic diversity, with all kinds of conditions; thirdly, doctors are a respected profession, all doctors speak English, and hospitals can open the door of convenience, and the drug company can communicate with the drug company without any obstacles.

The conditions are as good as this, what is there to hesitate about, after this village there is no such place.

“I have to admit, Mr. Ronald is the more cautious among the Americans I’ve come into contact with.” Alan Wilson sighed.

“So who is the most decisive person Mr. Allen has met?” Ronald Korman asked with some curiosity.

Joan Crawford? Greta Garbo? No, Greta Garbo was Swedish, or was Joan Crawford more direct.

Allen Wilson opened his mouth and answered, “The representative of U.S. Steel, far more decisive than you, is very bold in business negotiations.”

“Our company is after all different from U.S. Steel, there is a gap in strength. In fact, some of the associated costs, Merck is not without heart.” Ronald Korman lustfully said, “Coming to India to do drug trials, many places also have inputs.”

“For example?” Alan Wilson looked straight at the other party, wanting to hear what additional inputs there were.

“Such as recruiting personnel, setting up trial facilities and so on.” Ronald Korman said this just in time to see Allen Wilson laughing, unpleasantly asking back, “I don’t know what Mr. Allen is laughing at?”

“I’ll give it to you, just tell me directly where you see it.” Allen Wilson opened his mouth in a very atmospheric manner, the old imperialism also has three inch nails, not feeling embarrassed at all.

First of all do not look at what time it is now, in 1947 British India, it is similar to the Soviet Union under the rule of Goto map, it is simply another version of the Soviet Union disintegration.

And he, the assistant commissioner of British India, was doing much the same thing as the oligarchs in the late rise of the Soviet Union. You could actually call it one of a kind, except that if the Soviet Union is gone, it’s really gone, and if India is gone, the British Empire has other colonies.

Of course, in reality, it is still different, he will not go the oligarch route, on the contrary, may spawn a group of India’s own oligarchs, he is and some time ago and India’s business family meeting with the records are kept, and even have audio recordings, as well as dark photos.

Nehru came to power to be close to socialism, if these Indian family businesses do not listen, he will give these minutes to Nehru, so that these latter-day Indian plutocrats know what happens when they betray the British Empire.

Even if Nehru will not drive all of these families to extinction, and only select one or two families to set an example, these families can not stand it, and no one wants to be the unlucky one who is made an example of. Everyone thinks they’re okay? When Louis XVI’s diary also wrote on the day of the coup, “Nothing happened today!”

Khodorkovsky’s big battle to rise to oligarch status, which was ownership of the Yukos oil conglomerate, relied on a loan-for-share program, the

Khodorkovsky getting Yukos was then in the Loan-for-Share program. The loan-for-share program was invented by another oligarch, Vladimir Potanin, whom Freeland called an aristocrat. Vladimir Potanin, another oligarch, whom Vreeland called an aristocrat, invented it to get his coveted Norilsk nickel plant. It was one of the clients that his Onerkosm Bank had integrated down from the collapse of the Soviet banking system.

Potanin wanted to become the owner of the business, but instead of suggesting buying the business at a low price, which would be too obvious, he promised a loan in exchange for the right to manage the business. This was the beginnings of the loan-for-share program.

The loan-for-share scheme was, in essence, Yukos’ money buying Yukos, so being a British Empire civil servant, it was just a matter of him and the scheme being reversed, and the Merck Group did not pay even a dollar’s worth of bribes to loyal and incorruptible Imperial civil servants.

The expenses incurred were entirely those that arose from the facilities purchased in British India, as well as equipment, grounds, etc. This is all normal expenditure, Alan Wilson is simply on behalf of London to make this business, the whole process is reasonable and legitimate, will not leave any handle.

As for why the purchase of the expenditure of how much, it is not very simple, British India, this place everything to start again, any one business is a staggering upfront investment, very reasonable.

Alan Wilson made a few assurances to the Merck Group, out of the concept of British India to save lives, the Governor General’s Office will transfer a number of public hospitals to the Merck Group, in terms of the law will personally preside over the revision of their own, to facilitate the drug trials, the need for doctors he will also deal with the central government can not do the line of the provincial government.

In short, everything is wrapped up in Alan Wilson’s body, for the major drug companies to enter India to open the door of convenience.

Ronald Korman listened to Alan Wilson’s words, the heart of the old imperialism is invincible, the British bureaucrats in front of them can do this step, if the other party is an American, it may be another Rockefeller, Morgan, if a little earlier may be a direct slave owner.

The words have come to this point, Ronald Korman himself thinks that if the Merck Group does not agree, it is simply blasphemy, committing all the sins that can be committed in the world of man.

“If Mr. Allen can do that, there is no reason for us not to agree.” Ronald Korman hammered out, “I’ll finalize this matter with headquarters right away.”

“That’s right, that’s where time is money.” Alan Wilson said with an old-fashioned look on his face, “How fast the world is changing, if you guys jump the gun, you might be the laggards.”

The matter of the drug testing site was finally finalized, and immediately he reported the good news to the two civil service chiefs. Not only should the matter of saving lives not be hidden, but it should be publicized with great fanfare, it’s not like it’s a bad thing.

After all, India was a big and prestigious country, and only when there was a hint of independence, there were drug companies from all over the world flocking to the country to help the big and prestigious country to eliminate all kinds of diseases, couldn’t they?

The next stage of the process, then, is to enact a licensing system, not just any drug company can come in. There are only a limited number of places available, and you can’t get one after this village.

The licensing system in India was enacted by Nehru in 1955 to restrict foreign investment and to develop industry behind closed doors.

The licensing system controls every aspect of production, investment and foreign trade”. The licensing economy limited the scope and intensity of competition in the market, initially intended by Nehru to protect India from product dumping by the industrial powers.

Of course, the results were naturally negative, such as inhibiting innovation and protecting backwardness and old-fashionedness. On this economic soil, it is more difficult than ever to “sustainably raise per capita national income”.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, India was pretty much backed into a corner. The country’s financial situation was so bad that Rao’s cabinet had to embark on reforms, and India’s economic government was rapidly transformed. The core of Rao’s reforms, which were extremely difficult and easy to implement, were actually aimed at the licensing system.

Direct competition was not an option, nor was avoiding foreign competition altogether, though Allen Wilson argues that Nehru was not to blame. The country’s newborn use means to protect domestic products nothing to blame, Nehru thought so is not wrong, at least in the era of Nehru is not wrong, later set in stone to blame Nehru, it is just standing and talking not waist pain.

It is also because of the license system, Allenwell from only hurry to cash out the current still in the hands of the industry, is indeed not safe.

After having a consensus with the representatives of the Merck Group, returned to the Governor’s mansion Allen Wilson bumped into Pamela Mountbatten and asked, “Let your registered drug company get it right or not, I’ll leave a license for your company.”

“It’s not hard to register a company, but we don’t have the talent, our family has never been in this industry before. Now that we have a company, it’s only a shell company. It’s not like we’re in the country now, and it’s too late to poach people.” Pamela Mountbatten said with some distress, “Why don’t I ask Patricia to help run it?”

“Your sister?” Alan Wilson pondered for a while and said, “Actually, it doesn’t need to be so troublesome, like Bayer and Farben Chemical Company, there are many people who are chemical and pharmaceutical talents. Just let’s go recruit when we have the chance.”

“There are people from Farben Chemical who are in prison.” Pamela Mountbatten covered her mouth and said, “Are you confused?”

“Locked up can be released.” Alan Wilson grunted and smiled, the Nuremberg trials are over, the remaining small fish and shrimp can not be imprisoned for a long time, anyway, sooner or later, other people will be released as well as their own.

Can even operate a little early release, over the dry parole, so that these chemical and biological giant corporate talent, to re have a chance to reform.

Nehru is already the deputy prime minister of British India, this matter was not hidden from Nehru, and there is no need to hide, if Alan Wilson wants, of course, can be hidden.

Not only did he not hide it, but he took the initiative to find Nehru himself to mention this matter, of course, in the rhetoric to do a little modification, it said that the Merck Group took the initiative to come to the door, wanting to do infectious disease tracking and research in British India, to establish a scientific research institution.

“Alan, while this is considered a good thing, why would an American company want to do this?” Nehru asked suspiciously.

“Probably to show the difference from the British Empire, a bunch of rednecks always want to prove something in front of dad.” Alan Wilson sneered twice, unabashedly burying the Americans enough, “As soon as they see that India is going to be independent, they are forced to come and show their goodwill, who doesn’t know their little minds?”
