“Tgiveashit’” is actually a swear word in American English. It probably means: I don’t give a damn, 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.
The 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 kills gods when it is blocked by God, and kills Buddha when it is blocked by 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 just worded it inappropriately..."
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 topic 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, and 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 too high,
It’s so high, I’m afraid no one 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 needs 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 dollars per box, 52 boxes a year... In other words, the treatment cost for one year is 52 million US dollars, this...
.....This is 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.
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 by hanging the pot, he does not have the ability to save everyone.
Because of this, the production of this drug must be very small.
