Chapter 722: Sky-high research expenses! 300 billion!
It has only been four months since the World Championships started.
The vast majority of contestants spend around 2 billion yuan. A few who are working on high-end fields or high-tech scientific research projects may apply for around 5 billion yuan.
However……
Xu Qiu's expenses are increasing by hundreds of millions every day, and nearly one billion yuan was spent in the first week.
The competition committee discovered this anomaly at that time. During the same period, other contestants only spent one to two hundred million, and Xu Qiu spent almost ten times as much as they did!
However, out of respect for Xu Qiu, they acquiesced to this behavior.
Later, the funding became more and more exaggerated. A total of 5.2 billion was spent in the first month, 6.3 billion in the second month, 5.6 billion in the third month, and the fourth month was the most astonishing. Seventy-nine billion!
Xu Qiu's one month stay at the scientific research base is equivalent to the total project expenditures of several contestants put together!
"Should we stop the supply?"
"This kind of expense is too horrible. Does he think he doesn't have to pay, so he is so unscrupulous?"
"I heard that the research and development of Seven-Star Tablets only cost 5 billion Daxia coins. The total amount is only about 700 million yuan. It takes 700 million yuan to develop Seven-Star Tablets in five months. He can spend it on any project in one month. Five to six billion dollars!”
"As expected, he has never seen the world. Seeing that he doesn't have to bear the expenses, he spends money wantonly!"
"It doesn't matter, continue to provide him with financial support!"
"If the project is not successful, all scientific research funds will be paid by the home country. This is Xu Qiu's first time participating in the competition. He must not know this, otherwise he would not be so generous!"
"When Daxia sees Xu Qiu's wasted bills at the scientific research base, I'm afraid he will be sad, right?"
"Yes, this is an excellent opportunity! If there is a rift between Da Xia and Xu Qiu, Xu Qiu will be more likely to defect!"
Dean Miaoyou, the head of the Medical Alliance, and others all had their eyes lit up.
Daxia's annual scientific research funding is only 3 trillion yuan. According to Xu Qiu's sales rate, in six months, a total of nearly 40 billion yuan will be spent, which is about 280 billion yuan converted into Daxia coins!
It almost accounts for one-tenth of Daxia’s total annual funds!
If Daxia sees this bill, he will probably be so angry that he vomits blood!
Even if the Seven-Star film is really a huge success, with a price of 57 yuan and a twenty-year patent protection period, it is very likely that it will not be able to earn back the 280 billion...
"The more you use it, the better!" Dean Miaoyou and others laughed.
Since you dare to take Berry Country as a scapegoat for the feasibility of the pilot project... then you must be prepared to suffer the consequences!
…
This matter was extremely involved and soon spread to the ears of Daxia’s senior officials.
This time, it was the Ministry of Finance that held the emergency meeting.
The Minister of Finance almost turned pale with fright.
Is this the speed at which people can burn money... If they really burn money, throwing a handful of money into the fire every second will not necessarily keep up with this speed!
The sum total of all the scientific research projects of the scientific research institutes of several universities, all added up, the expenses are not as scary as Xu Qiu!
"If we really continue to use it like this, the six-month World Championship will leave us with a sky-high bill of nearly 300 billion!" The Minister of Finance was really panicked.
How could he be dragged into the water in a world championship?
It's obviously just a medical technology competition, why is there still a risk of fiscal deficit now!
The Minister of Health's forehead was also sweating. He wiped his face and said repeatedly: "Calm down first, calm down first..."
If he could rely on his influence to block other people's interference with Xu Qiu before, then this time it would be completely impossible.
Three hundred billion!
Daxia's annual scientific research expenditure is only about three trillion, and one-tenth of it is consumed by Xu Qiu. Where does Daxia come from so much money?
"I have already calculated..."
The Minister of Finance took out a report and said: "Xu Qiu's current industry is mainly Linhai small blood vessels. This product can generate about tens of billions of profits every year. If it is allocated to Xu Qiu, it may only be one or twenty billion." 100 million.
"With just Linhai's small blood vessels, he will earn more than a hundred billion from these 300 billion.
"If Qixing Tablets can also go to the market and be sold at the price of generic drugs such as sorafenib and other liver drugs, priced between 1,500 and 5,500, it can make hundreds of billions of profits every year. But, he stipulated The price is 57 yuan..."
In fact, judging from the data shown in the preliminary clinical trials of Qixing Pian, its price is set at just over 10,000, and it can achieve excellent sales.
The price of original liver drugs is more than 10,000 yuan, and the price of generic drugs is between 1,000 and 7,000 yuan... This is almost an unspoken rule in the industry.
Below this price, the payback period for original drugs is too long, and generic drugs cannot make much profit. Neither type of drug can survive.
However, who would have thought that Xu Qiu originally developed Qixing Tablets to combat Hepatic Anxiety, and unexpectedly achieved an efficacy close to that of sorafenib, but the price was still in line with Hepatic Anxiety!
"what to do?"
At this time, everyone seemed a little irritable after listening to the summary of the Minister of Finance.
The original five billion was not a small sum. The Minister of Health and the Director of the National Health Commission came forward to guarantee it. Now, the three hundred billion is probably difficult to raise in a short time with all the ministers nodding. !
The discussion quickly reached an impasse.
A bill of 300 billion cannot be fooled by the Minister of Health, Academician Boring, or Director of the National Health Commission in just two or three sentences.
If it really comes down, although Daxia will not be seriously injured, the finances in the field of scientific research will be extremely tight, and most of the projects will be cut, which will affect the scientific research of a country and countless researchers!
Even the promotion of positions in colleges and universities and the innovation of the academic community will stagnate. One step behind may lead to a step behind!
"My suggestion is to stop the research immediately!" said the Minister of Finance in a deep voice.
"No one can take this responsibility. This is gambling with the financial funds of all colleges and research institutions in the country!"
"I can't think of any research project that needs to spend 300 billion yuan! Even if it is to study controlled nuclear fusion, the cost of a few years is only this amount..."
Seeing that the research was about to be forced to be interrupted, Academician Tong suddenly slapped the table and a convincing voice sounded: "Why don't you ask Xu Qiu where his money went?"
To be honest, even Academician Tong couldn't think of any scientific research project that could burn money at this speed!
Even if 300 billion was given to anyone present, they might not be able to spend it all within half a year.
"Yes, ask Xu Qiu's opinion." The Minister of Health agreed immediately... Although he also felt it was outrageous, he was more inclined to trust Xu Qiu.
If scientific research fails, the cost will be borne by the country where it is located. Xu Qiu is clear about this rule.
But he still chose to do it!
Then there must be a reason.
Xu Qiu's behavior has always been unpredictable. The previous surgery competition that beat Omid and won full marks was like this, and the subsequent small project competitions were also like this. This time, the 300 billion scientific research expenditure may just be something they can't understand!
"I'm worried about something more terrible." Suddenly, the Minister of Foreign Affairs glanced at everyone quietly, and his voice was cold.
