Xia Ruofei couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He really didn't know much about this. He knew that for a drug to be marketed, there would definitely be a very complicated approval process, but he didn't expect the process to take so long.
Xia Ruofei couldn't even wait two or three years, let alone six or seven years.
He frowned and asked, "Manager Feng, why is it taking so long?"
Feng Jing said helplessly, "Chairman, there are too many steps from the approval process to the marketing of a new drug, and each step takes a lot of time. It can take as little as ten days, or as long as a few months. The most time-consuming step is the clinical trial stage, and many of them take several years."
Speaking of this, Feng Jing paused and added, "And … if there's a bottleneck in the middle, or if it can't meet the standard requirements, then all the previous work will be in vain, and we have to start all over again …"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but gasp when he heard this. He just wanted to do something for the autistic community.
A person's power was limited. Even if he didn't sleep or rest, how many patients could he treat? Compared to the thousands of autistic people, it was almost negligible.
And strictly speaking, Xia Ruofei didn't have a medical qualification certificate. It was illegal for him to treat patients. It was just that everyone found him for treatment in private.
The only way to really improve the living conditions of the autistic community was to achieve mass production of this special drug.
But he didn't expect that the road to mass production was so difficult.
"Manager Feng, the drug I'm going to produce is a pure Chinese medicine preparation. It's different from Western medicine." Xia Ruofei said, "And this drug is likely to be a special drug to fill the gap. Is there any special policy for this kind of situation? It's fine as long as the procedures can be simplified! "
Feng Jing obviously did her homework well. She immediately said, "Chairman, the approval process for some Chinese medicine products can be simplified appropriately. According to the normal procedure, it has to be submitted to the provincial drug administration for preliminary review, and the national drug administration for review. But for some Chinese medicine products, the approval process can be accelerated, and the application can be submitted directly to the National Drug Administration. At the same time, the local provincial drug administration can be submitted to the local drug administration for a trial site inspection and review of the original materials …"
Xia Ruofei asked, "My medicine is a decoction of traditional Chinese medicine. Does it meet the requirements for expedited approval?"
Feng Jing said, "As for the specifics, I'm not too sure. I'm not sure about the standards … But … Chairman, even if we speed up the approval process, it will still take a long time to go through all the steps."
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, "How about this? Professional things should be left to the professionals! Manager Feng, register a pharmaceutical company immediately and use the name of the company's research institute to recruit Chinese medicine talents! Then we'll consider the matter of approval. "
Xia Ruofei thought about it for a long time. Other than mass production, there was no other way to help the autistic families on a large scale. Therefore, he decided to set up a company first. After hiring people, he would consult the professionals.
As for the approval process, Xia Ruofei definitely couldn't accept such a long wait. If it really didn't work out, he wouldn't hesitate to go through the "back door". His connections were still very strong.
Feng Jing said, "Okay! I'll get to it immediately! "
Xia Ruofei said, "Manager Feng, let's call the company Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Company! It's considered a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Taoyuan Company. The registered capital … is tentatively set at 10 million! When it's time to verify the capital, I'll transfer the money to the pharmaceutical company's account. "
Feng Jing said as she recorded quickly, "Understood! Chairman, do you have any specific requirements for the research institute to recruit people? "
Xia Ruofei said, "The higher the academic level, the better. Fresh graduates must have at least a master's degree in traditional Chinese medicine. If they're working in other research institutes, it's best if they have academic achievements. If they're an authority in the industry, it's better."
Feng Jing said with a smile, "We're a new company. I'm afraid it won't be easy to recruit such big names."
Not to mention the pharmaceutical company, even the Taoyuan Company was a little famous now. However, the position of CEO was still empty! The scale of the company was still too small. The truly capable people weren't suitable, and Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing weren't willing to compromise.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "We can use high salaries to attract talents! If there are really experts with high academic standards who are willing to change jobs, I can give them an annual salary of a million. I can even give them a house in Sanshan City. "
Feng Jing said with a smile, "Chairman, this is really generous …"
"Knowledge is wealth!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "But we don't need too many people in the research institute. At most, five to eight people!"
The prescription and production process of the Heart Nourishing Soup were very mature. Xia Ruofei set up this research institute mainly for the approval of new drugs. He didn't really need them to do the research, so there was no need to hire too many people.
The pharmaceutical company's research level would definitely be a factor in the approval process. Naturally, academic talents were a kind of soft power.
Also, Xia Ruofei's next step might be to study the mass production of the Yuji Ointment. So, it was necessary to have a small research institute.
With Xia Ruofei's earning speed, it was easy to hire a few researchers.
Moreover, once the Heart Nourishing Soup was approved for mass production, it would definitely be profitable. For the Heart Nourishing Soup project, Xia Ruofei didn't need to pursue huge profits. But he still needed a normal profit. This was also the foundation of the company's sustainable and healthy development.
Feng Jing replied, "OK, Chairman. I'll focus on this matter during this period of time. If there's anything I'm unsure of, I'll let you know."
"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Feng!" Xia Ruofei said sincerely, "Since you joined the company, you have never stopped working. The company is really indebted to you!"
"I'm just doing my job!" Feng Jing said with a smile, "Furthermore, I also like to work. I like the feeling of fulfillment!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I'll give you a big red packet at the end of the year!"
"Then I'll be waiting …" Feng Jing chuckled.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei shook his head helplessly.
It was really difficult to do anything now. This was just the normal approval process. After all, drugs were related to the health and even the lives of thousands of patients. The country must be very cautious. Xia Ruofei could understand this.
If the approval went smoothly, it would take a few years. If there were any problems at any stage, it would really take a long time.
Xia Ruofei sighed for a while. Then, he remembered that he hadn't seen any changes in the new space. So, with a thought, he returned to the Ring-Tu space.
Xia Ruofei directly appeared in the stone room.
He stepped out of the cave and first glanced at the wordless stone tablet at the entrance of the cave.
This should be the Hunyuan Stone Tablet, right? Xia Ruofei said in his heart.
This stone tablet was really mysterious. It looked very simple and ordinary. However, in the entire space, it was the only thing that Xia Ruofei couldn't see through.
The other things, including the things inside the protective cover in the stone room that couldn't be opened for the time being, and the nameless booklet that had more than half of its contents unlocked. At least Xia Ruofei could roughly understand their situation.
Only this stone tablet gave Xia Ruofei an endless feeling of mystery.
Xia Ruofei looked at the stone tablet a few times, then walked to the edge of the small platform and looked around.
The first thing he felt was that Little Hei and the others, who were playing at the foot of the mountain, seemed to have become smaller. The same was true for the all-terrain vehicle parked quietly in the space.
Xia Ruofei knew that this was because the mountain he was on had risen again.
Xia Ruofei's mind moved, and the invisible force of the space lifted him and quickly floated down the mountain.
Only in this space, when his spiritual power reached a certain level, could Xia Ruofei achieve such a leap in the air. This feeling, which was similar to flying in the sky and burrowing into the ground, was quite cool!
Xia Ruofei landed steadily next to the all-terrain vehicle. With a whistle, Little Hei, Damao, and Ermao immediately rushed toward Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei intimately picked up Little Hei, who was running in the front, rubbed its head and laughed, "Get in the car, I'll take you around!"
He jumped into the car and put Little Hei on the passenger seat. Damao and Ermao also jumped into the car quickly.
Xia Ruofei started the engine and stepped on the accelerator. The all-terrain vehicle immediately rushed out.
The open car was driving at high speed. The wind was whistling in their ears. The air they inhaled was extremely pure and with a trace of spiritual mist. The whole person felt refreshed.
Along the way, Xia Ruofei also paid attention to the new space. It had expanded a lot.
The mountain seemed even more majestic, and it began to have a continuous feeling. The river that went around the mountain was also much wider. Now, it had completely become a torrential river. The river water rushed past, making splashing sounds.
The terrain in the new space also had more ups and downs. The all-terrain vehicle flew flexibly between the hills and soon came to the nearest space membrane.
Xia Ruofei generally opened a circle along the space membrane to roughly estimate the area of the current space.
This time, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but step on the brake. He stared at the space membrane with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Most of the land in this new space was green grass. Looking into the distance, it looked like a huge green carpet.
Today, as the space continued to expand, Xia Ruofei saw a different scene.
The closer he got to the space membrane, the sparser the green grass. Six or seven meters in front of the space membrane, there was no grass. The ground exposed was not soil but sand.
Moreover, the closer the sand was to the space membrane, the lower it was. After reaching the space membrane, his eyes couldn't see through it.
Xia Ruofei showed a trace of doubt.
He jumped out of the car and sniffed. There seemed to be a trace of salty fishy smell in the air.
Xia Ruofei had lived in Peach Blossom Farm for so long that he was very familiar with this smell. The air by the sea was full of this smell. Because the sea was humid, there would be some small droplets in the air, which would dissolve some salt.
Could there be a sea in this space?
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but have this thought.
He stepped on the sand – or beach. He crouched down and grabbed a handful of sand.
The color of the sand was almost pure white, and each grain was very fine. When he held it in his hand, it quickly slipped down through his fingers. It was a very comfortable feeling.
Xia Ruofei walked step by step toward the space membrane. He listened carefully – if there was a sea, would he be able to hear the sound of the waves?
However, the space membrane seemed to be isolated from everything. Xia Ruofei couldn't hear anything.
So, he returned to the all-terrain vehicle, found a small camping shovel, ran back to the spatial membrane, and dug down hard.
The sand here was fine and soft. After a while, Xia Ruofei dug a big hole.
When he saw that the sand at the bottom was already moist, he dug hard twice and then stopped.
Xia Ruofei crouched down and grabbed a small handful of moist sand. He stuck out his tongue and licked it.
A bitter and salty feeling suddenly came from his taste buds. Xia Ruofei spat several times, but there was still a taste in his mouth.
But he was very happy – this was the taste of the sea.
Xia Ruofei knew that behind this space membrane was most likely the sea.
When he thought of the boundless sea, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be speechless.
It was just a picture scroll, but it contained such a large space. It could be called another world. This was really amazing!
Xia Ruofei was sure that as long as the space completed the upgrade, he would be able to see the sea. As for how far it could expand, he didn't know.
Xia Ruofei was looking forward to the sea that was about to appear.
He jumped on the car and couldn't wait to start the car. He sped along the space membrane.
On the one hand, he wanted to estimate the size of the space. On the other hand, Xia Ruofei also wanted to see if he could see the sea from other positions.
Along the way, Xia Ruofei found that the white beach was about two or three hundred meters long. Then it was gradually covered by green grass. It was the same color as before.
He continued to drive forward.
When Xia Ruofei returned to the hole that he had just dug, he knew that he had opened a circle around the space membrane.
The coastline was indeed only two or three hundred meters long. And for the time being, he could only see the beach, but not the sea.
Xia Ruofei roughly estimated that the space's area was close to 2000 mu.
That was to say, after absorbing 50 million yuan worth of jadeite, the area of the new space had nearly doubled. If there were enough jadeite to upgrade the space directly, the area of the new space would be expanded even more.
Xia Ruofei then looked at the oak tree he had planted in this new space, as well as the hornets that were kept in the huge iron cage. Finally, he played with Blackie and the rest for a while before leaving the Spirit Map's space with anticipation for the sea.
