    For most innovative R&D companies, although there are capital injections and no short-term profit requirements, these are only temporary
    .
    The capital market still needs to speak by performance, and the only criterion for consideration in the end will only be the commercialization ability, the product officially enters the market, biotech's transformation to Bioopharma is gratifying, and the next commercial transformation is a new hurdle
    that needs to be overcome.

    Although the market speculates that the commercialization results are inseparable from the global resource support of Fosun, Henlius has proved that even biosimilars can still make money, with per capita sales revenue of more than one million in the first half of the year, which has also achieved praiseworthy commercialization efficiency, and also made the capital market more looking forward to its future commercialization potential
