Chapter 546: In the face of money, moral shit is nothing
·
Wu You
"This request may be a bit too much." Zhao Wen said.
What capitalists care about most is profit. If the profit does not exceed 50% in China, then the money they can make is very little.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you can write down my conditions and pass them on to your company boss, and let them decide the matter."
In China, for some common medicines, the profit cannot exceed 15% of the cost.
But the current situation cannot be concluded in this way.
If I really dare to raise the 15% condition, Zhao Wen and others probably won't talk to me anymore.
And things like medicine belong to the profiteering industry, and 1000% profits are very common.
So I set the price at 50% of the cost, which is acceptable to ordinary people in China.
Zhao Wen paused and looked at Lin Yi.
"You said no more than 50% of the cost, do you mean the cost of raw materials?"
"Of course not." Lin Yi thought it was a bit funny, and Zhao Wen probably made himself scared by making Zhao Wen say such a thing.
"Capitalists are human beings too, so they have to make a living." Lin Yi said:
"The cost I'm talking about also includes research and development costs, time costs, and transportation costs. In a word, all costs are counted, and the profit should not exceed 50%."
Everyone's complexion improved a little bit. Although such a condition is very harsh, at least there is a little room for negotiation.
"What's the other condition?" Zhao Wen asked:
"You Pfizer and the six major pharmaceutical companies have a pivotal position in the world. I hope you can help me make something happen."
Zhao Wen looked at Lin Yi, this was the first time she saw soft eyes in this man's eyes.
It was also the first time to see him talking to these people in a discussing tone.
"Mr. Lin, please tell me."
"I hope you can unite with other pharmaceutical companies in the world to reduce the price of some drugs for rare diseases to two-thirds of the original price, but only for the Huaxia region."
"Price cuts for rare disease drugs?"
Everyone present was surprised, they did not expect Lin Yi to make such a request.
Because none of these requirements can bring him immediate and practical benefits.
To put it bluntly, it is to make wedding dresses for others.
What is he doing this for?
At this time, Lin Yi was also worried.
From a certain point of view, my request is indeed a little too much.
Because pharmaceutical companies have spent unimaginable time and energy, as well as countless dollars, in researching these drugs.
Even if they don't agree, it's understandable.
The 70 sticks of Nosina, even if it is reduced by a third, still costs nearly 47 sticks.
For some families, this is still an unaffordable figure.
But as things stand.
Even a drop of one penny can give them a glimmer of hope for life.
And there is only so much I can do.
"Mr. Lin, can you provide some specific names for the rare disease drugs you are referring to, so that we can refer further." Zhao Wen said.
"Such as Nosinagen Sodium, Zogensma, Glyceryl Phenylbutyrate, Carglutamic Acid Tablets and a series of drugs, I hope the prices of these drugs can be reduced to two-thirds of the original price." Lin Yi said:
"That's all I want."
"Actually, the first two requirements are still negotiable, but the third condition is really very difficult." Zhao Wen shook her head and said:
"Because there are dozens of these drugs, and they are distributed in dozens of companies. This is not something we can decide. There is no way to promise you. I hope you can understand our difficulties."
"I know this matter is difficult to handle, but it counts as much as you can get in touch with." Lin Yi said:
"Of course, I can't make you work for nothing. When developing new drugs, I don't need to take any money. You don't have to pay me any fees. All the profits of the drugs can be shared equally by the seven major pharmaceutical companies."
Lin Yi's words let the people present understand that he really didn't want to make money on this matter.
Really just trying to do something nice.
"We are here today to be responsible for negotiating and discussing specific details. We will report this matter to the headquarters later. As for whether we can agree to your request, we are not sure."
"You know my temper. These are my three most basic requirements. If one cannot be fulfilled, there is no room for negotiation on this matter."
"I know."
Lin Yi got up, stood facing the people present and said:
"I've said everything I need to say, and you can talk about the rest. I'll let Wang Tianlong put it on the table later. If you have any requirements, just ask him."
Zhao Wen looked at Lin Yi, "Do you know the owner of this store?"
"This hotel is mine."
"So it is."
Lin Yi got up and walked to the door, but the moment he opened the door, he turned around and said:
"If you agree to my request, you will become partners. You can live in the presidential suite of the Peninsula Hotel and eat whatever you want, and I will pay for it. But if you don't agree, you have to pay for it yourself."
Zhao Wen: ...
Lin Yi left the conference room, but Zhao Wen and others did not leave, and the atmosphere was a bit dignified.
"His condition has been made out, let's express our opinions and talk about this matter." Zhao Wen said.
"Given China Shipping's international status, it's not a big problem to set up the research institute here, and it can radiate to the whole of Asia, saving a lot of transportation costs, so this request is not too much, and the headquarters should agree." Ray said:
"Although the second request is excessive, there is actually room for negotiation."
"Because it covers time cost and research and development cost, both of which are one-time investment. Through the later sales process, the market in Huaxia can almost cover all the costs. If these drugs are priced according to our , sold all over the world, the profit is still considerable, so the problem is not too big, the only difficulty is the third condition."
After listening to Frey's words, the others nodded silently.
The nature of a businessman is to chase capital and profit, as long as it is profitable, everything is negotiable.
But all the problems are focused on the third point.
Even if they wanted to agree, they were powerless.
Representatives of the six major pharmaceutical companies focused their attention on Zhao Wen. She is a representative of Pfizer, and her speeches and opinions will carry certain weight.
After being silent for about a minute, Zhao Wen sighed and showed a helpless smile.
"Lin Yi is really bold and smart."
Everyone showed puzzled eyes, not knowing what Zhao Wen meant.
"He's betting on the capitalist's ambition." Zhao Wen said:
"All of us present here represent the seven major pharmaceutical giants in the world. A small part of the special medicine he mentioned just now is produced by our major companies. If it drops to two-thirds, it is not a big problem, but it is still a problem. There are many produced by other pharmaceutical companies.”
"He wants us to put pressure on other small factories for our own benefit, and force them to sign a price reduction agreement by reducing dimensionality."
"But such an approach is completely immoral. If he does this, it will push this cooperation to a dead end!"
"When it comes to money, moral shit is nothing."
Zhao Wen looked at Wei Kang with a calm expression.
"From the initial global opening up, tariff reduction policy, to the intellectual property system in the later period, to the knowledge sharing licensing agreement, and the US dollar oil trading system, look at the United States, when did it talk about reason? When did it talk to you about ethics? ?”
