You know, Merck is the third largest pharmaceutical company in the world and the second largest pharmaceutical company in the United States. It is no exaggeration to say that where there is a pharmacy, there is Merck's medicine. Merck's pharmaceutical companies are ahead of the world in treating diabetes and developing various vaccines. Can you imagine? It is such a person in charge of a pharmaceutical company. He is not a well-trained person.
As we all know, Fu was born as a lawyer, and he was able to enter this famous pharmaceutical company because he served as the legal adviser of this company. He once fought a very famous lawsuit for Merck. In this lawsuit, Merck won a great victory. It is because of this record that he was able to successfully enter this super pharmaceutical company and become a legal adviser.
But no one expected that he had worked in this company for 30 years, and as the head of this company, he was in charge of this company 10 years. During the golden time of 10, Fu Weize really served this pharmaceutical company wholeheartedly and really made this pharmaceutical company one of the most famous enterprises in the world.
During the period of 10, one of the most brilliant things that Fu Weize did was that he saw the potential danger of this enterprise at the beginning of his tenure, that is, there was no patented medicine of his own, and even if there was a patent, it would soon expire, so he proposed that the shareholders of the board of directors take out 8 billion yuan for scientists to study new drugs. The problem at that time was that all shareholders opposed it, thinking that the chairman was completely crazy and didn't make money for us, so we had to care what he thought when we asked for money.
However, with the expiration of the patent period of various drugs, the shareholders of the board of directors discovered that the chairman had a forward-looking vision and strategic thinking that they did not have. In addition to this incident, Fu Weize also did a few things, please return to the chief scientist who was fired by the former chairman, because he knew that in drug research and development, without the support of these scientists, this pharmaceutical company is likely to decline slowly with the precipitation of time.
Then there is the constant demand for new drugs and vaccine research and development. It is precisely because of this series of measures and reforms that this pharmaceutical company has become more and more famous and has more and more profits. In addition, he made his own business a benchmark for all enterprises in the United States to do charity, which is why Fu Weize can be respected by others.
