The so-called ‘idon’tgiveashit’ is actually a swear word in American English. It probably means: I don’t give a fuck, or: I don’t give a damn.
The reason why Ye Chen chose an American swear word was to express his attitude to Smith simply and rudely: Do you still want to talk about your rules in front of Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Wan?
You! Are worthy!
When Smith heard this sentence, he immediately understood Ye Chen's attitude.
Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Pill is placed here. Although it is a life-saving medicine, when faced with the rules, it is a nuclear weapon that can kill gods if it blocks God, and kill Buddha if it blocks Buddha.
Coupled with its scarce production, it is even more coveted by everyone.
In this case, everything is a pure seller's market, and the seller is the father.
So, he could only say with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I worded it inappropriately just now..."
After saying that, he quickly expressed his attitude: "Don't worry, we are willing to pay you for the medicine, but we don't know how to price your medicine yet?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Since you are the person in charge of the FDA, you should know that the research and development costs of many special drugs are very high, so their prices are also very expensive..."
At this point, Ye Chen deliberately changed the subject and said with a smile: "By the way, I heard that your FDA just approved a special drug some time ago, and one injection costs more than 2 million US dollars? Is there such a thing?"
"Yes..." Smith wiped his cold sweat and said hesitantly: "That drug is produced by Novartis. It is a specific drug for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy in children."
Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Then the price of our super effective medicine that can treat terminal cancer must not be too low, don't you think so?"
Smith hurriedly said: "Mr. Ye, the reason why the Novartis drug is very expensive is because it can cure the disease with one shot... After all, Jiuxuan Zaizao Pill is a drug that needs to be taken for a long time. If the price is set too high, I'm afraid it won't work."
People can afford it..."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, we definitely can't sell a box of medicine for more than 2 million US dollars. Isn't that nonsense?"
Smith breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Ye Chen would open his mouth.
At this time, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "If a box really costs 2 million US dollars, then no one except the top rich with assets of several billion US dollars can afford it. After all, there are only seven pills in a box, and one pill costs 300,000."
If a patient costs 100 million dollars just to take medicine a year, he might as well die..."
Ye Chen said at this time: "I think our medicine might cost one million US dollars per box. This price is quite suitable."
When Smith heard this, he collapsed and blurted out: "One million US dollars per box, 52 boxes a year... In other words, the annual treatment cost is 52 million US dollars, which... this is too much
It’s too expensive…”
Ye Chen spread his hands and said: "There is no way. Our R&D costs are very high, the production costs are very high, and the output is very small. It may not exceed 100,000 boxes in a year. If we sell one million boxes a year,
The sales volume is only one billion U.S. dollars. Is it very high? One of your Western pharmaceutical companies’ monoclonal antibody drugs has sales of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars a year. What did I say to you?”
Saying that, Ye Chen said again: "You have to understand that our traditional oriental medicine relies on all kinds of natural and earthly treasures for raw materials. Unlike your chemical medicines, as long as a molecular formula is developed, it can be put in the production line and followed by production.
It’s like plastic sheeting, mass-produced.”
Ye Chen really cannot mass-produce Jiuxuan Zaizao Pills, at least he is far from that ability yet.
After all, this medicine really relies on the blood-dissipating and heart-saving elixir, and it is impossible for him to do nothing all day long and just sit at home refining the elixir.
Therefore, even if he has the heart to help the world, he does not have the ability to save everyone.
Because of this, the production of this drug must be very small.
The reason why he made this kind of medicine was not to make money, but to help Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical open the doors of markets in various countries.
When Smith heard this, he immediately deduced: "The reason why Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical cannot mass-produce this drug must be because its own production technology level is insufficient, resulting in an inability to achieve a breakthrough in output!"
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Wei, Mr. Ye, I wonder if you two are interested in selling the patent of this drug to an American pharmaceutical company?"
When Ye Chen heard this, he squinted his eyes and looked at Smith.
In his opinion, the old fox's tail was finally coming out.
So, he said categorically: "No way, we will never sell this patent!"
Smith hurriedly asked: "What if American companies can pay a huge buyout fee? For example, tens of billions of dollars or more?"
Ye Chen still shook his head: "Don't say tens of billions, even if it is hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars, we will not sell it."
The main reason why Ye Chen didn't want to sell it was because he couldn't sell it at all.
This formula can be given to anyone at any time, but no one can produce it.
If the other party can't produce it, how can it be willing to pay the buyout fee?
This is not because he was fooling Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals. Anyway, Kobayashi Ichiro was here to grab the medicine. If he was given a fake to eat his father to death, he would have to suffer the consequences of being mute.
If this is sold, it will be a patent transaction worth hundreds of billions of dollars. I am afraid that the whole world will be shocked by it. If the other party gets the patent and finds that it has been cheated, this designation will become an international scandal.
Smith also thought that Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical was unwilling to sell the patent because it was purely self-admiring, so he hurriedly advised: "Mr. Ye, when penicillin was discovered, it was also a revolutionary advancement in the medical field. However, you may not know that because penicillin was prepared at that time.
It is extremely difficult, so the production capacity of penicillin has been unable to be increased. The strains that several large laboratories have worked hard to cultivate are not enough to treat one person, so it is impossible for it to serve all mankind."
Speaking of this, Smith paused slightly and then said: "However, in the following years, with the efforts of various pharmaceutical experts, chemical experts and biological experts, the production process of penicillin has been continuously optimized, and it has also achieved a maximum output from
It will gradually develop into overcapacity, thus benefiting all mankind."
"With all due respect, I think Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical is like the team that discovered penicillin. Although they discovered this drug, they were unable to mass-produce it."
"However, our industrial, pharmaceutical and chemical foundations in the United States are among the best in the world! If we can conduct research and development based on this formula, maybe we can achieve large-scale mass production in a few years!"
"When the time comes, we will join hands to benefit all mankind. Isn't this a great thing?"
Ye Chen was amused by him and said cheerfully: "Mr. Smith, I found that you are really capable, discerning and far-sighted! No wonder someone like you can be the person in charge of the FDA! This level alone is amazing!
"
Smith thought Ye Chen was really moved by him, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, you're too polite. I'm not a far-sighted person. I just want to benefit all mankind as much as possible."
Ye Chen nodded solemnly and said: "Mr. Smith, a drug to treat cancer, no matter how beneficial it is, can benefit tens of millions of people..."
At this point, Ye Chen changed the topic and said seriously: "But, since your scientific research foundation in the United States is so strong, why don't you study how to synthesize large amounts of oil cheaply? If you can make every barrel of oil
If the cost is reduced to one dollar and 5,678,000 billion barrels are produced per year, you will not only solve the global energy crisis, but you will no longer have to send troops to the Middle East for various reasons. Isn’t that a real benefit?
More than seven billion people in the world?”
After hearing this, Smith felt embarrassed all over.
He found that he clearly knew that Ye Chen was talking nonsense, that he was sarcastic and ridiculing himself, but he couldn't refute him.
Because no matter how he refuted it, it seemed like he was slapping himself in the face.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Damn it, you are really a loser. You are indeed a good material for business operations... I pride myself on being eloquent, but you were so sarcastic that I was speechless..."
