In the Chenghua Pharmaceutical Company Building, Zheng Ge led Huang Liya and others in the lobby on the first floor. Looking at the media reporters coming and going, he felt that today's press conference might not be too peaceful.
Because he saw a lot of foreign media looking aggressive.
This is obviously trying to stir up trouble!
Think about it too.
The price of anti-cancer drugs abroad is completely different from the price in China.
It can be said that there is one heaven and one underground.
This makes Westerners naturally dissatisfied.
Today is another press conference. It’s strange that those Western media don’t stir up trouble.
I just don’t know if Lao Yao and others can stand up to these Western media.
"Hello, Mr. Zheng, I am Mr. Yao's assistant. Mr. Yao asked me to take you to the lounge, where you can see the press conference."
A female assistant in professional attire came up and said.
"Lead the way."
Zheng Ge nodded.
"Mr. Zheng, please come this way."
The female assistant responded and led Zheng Ge and the others into the elevator. Not long after, they came to a lounge.
There is a large-screen projection in the lounge, and the images displayed on it are about the press conference.
By this time, the major media had already entered the scene.
It looks like the press conference is about to begin.
The female assistant arranged for several staff members to bring over a few cups of coffee, placed them on the coffee table, and said to Zheng Ge respectfully: "Mr. Zheng, if you have any instructions, you can call me directly."
"Okay, you go and do your work." Zheng Ge waved his hand.
The female assistant nodded and left the lounge with several staff members.
“There are a lot of foreign media!”
Zheng Ge looked at the live broadcast and saw a large number of Westerners and couldn't help but shake his head.
…
In the lounge, Zheng Ge lazily leaned on the sofa, sipping coffee and watching the press conference.
After about a few minutes, the press conference officially began.
After the host took the stage to kick off the show, Yao Aiguo took the stage and announced the simultaneous global launch of anti-cancer drugs. At the same time, he also announced several company decisions.
The first few sessions of the press conference were relatively calm.
But when it comes to the question session...
After entering the question and answer session, it was not beyond Zheng Ge’s expectations.
The first question raised by those Western media is a very pointed question.
A beautiful Western female reporter stood up and asked with a serious face: "Mr. Yao, it is understood that regarding the pricing of anti-cancer drugs of your company, the prices in the United States are much higher than those in China.
30 times more. Can I understand that this is discrimination?"
The so-called 30 times refers to the price in the hands of overseas patients.
The price Chenghua Pharmaceutical offers to overseas agents is only 20 times higher.
Naturally, Yao Aiguo had already anticipated such a problem.
I saw him standing on the stage and said calmly: "I'm sorry, Ms. reporter. Regarding the selling price in the West, we don't have the pricing power. You can interview major Western pharmacies and question them about this issue."
Why set such a high price?"
"As for our country, the reason why the price is low is because our official government has provided huge subsidies to our company and major pharmacies. You can understand that our official government has helped the people pay the bill in advance."
"If people in the West feel that the price is too high, they should turn to the U.S. officials. If the U.S. officials are willing to subsidize it, I think the price of anti-cancer drugs in the U.S. will soon come down."
He is not talking nonsense. The government does provide subsidies to Chenghua Pharmaceutical and major pharmacies.
After all, the price of anti-cancer drugs in China is too low.
Neither Chenghua Pharmaceutical nor its local agents or pharmacies make much money.
Since the preferential treatment is given to the people, the officials will naturally express it.
In short, Yao Aiguo's specious remarks left the Western media speechless.
Let U.S. officials subsidize?
How is that possible.
…
In the lounge, looking at the press conference, Zheng Ge shook his head.
After the American female reporter asked questions, the press conference continued.
During this period, several Western reporters took issue and asked pointed questions.
However, Yao Aiguo passed the test easily.
When the question and answer session was about to end, a reporter from a domestic TV station asked a question: "Mr. Yao, there are at least tens of millions of cancer patients in our country. About one million people unfortunately die of cancer every year.
What I want to ask is, why doesn’t your company export abroad on the premise of satisfying domestic patients?”
This question is exactly a hot topic on the Internet during this period.
Regarding this issue, Yao Aiguo and other company executives were speechless.
If you are not allowed to make money at home, you are not allowed to make money abroad?
How easy it is to understand how to make money from foreigners, expand production scale, and benefit domestic patients. Even many foreigners are very aware of Chenghua Pharmaceutical's calculations.
But why don’t some Chinese people understand?
Some people may say: Since the government has subsidized you, why do you still export it abroad?
However, the small amount of subsidy money is simply not enough!
If you want to quickly expand the scale of production, you still need to go abroad to raise money.
Nowadays, foreigners are very angry that Chenghua Pharmaceutical regards them as being taken advantage of.
There is just no way, foreign capital cannot refuse the huge profits brought by anti-cancer drugs.
Countless cancer patients abroad also need anti-cancer drugs to relieve their pain.
In this case, one can only be forced to take advantage of others.
Yao Aiguo naturally dealt with this kind of problem easily.
…
As time went by, this press conference gradually came to an end with many near misses.
Zheng Ge admired Yao Aiguo's eloquence.
I feel like I can compete with Liu Jun (the founder of Renrenwan) back then.
Thinking of Liu Jun, Zheng Ge also thought of his second investment, which was Zhao Yu, the founder of Feiyu Game Company who developed "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms".
In November last year, Zhao Yu found him, took away tens of millions of his own, established the company "Blizzard Game Entertainment", and went to develop the "World of Warcraft" online game. It has been almost a year, and I don't know how far the development has been.
.
Zheng Ge recalled that at the time of investment, Changge Group seemed to hold 40% of the equity of Blizzard Game Entertainment Company.
"Liya, is there any news about Blizzard games recently?"
Zheng Ge turned to Huang Liya and asked.
Huang Liya was stunned, and for a moment she didn't remember what kind of company 'Blizzard Games Entertainment' was. Mobile version::
Blizzard Game Entertainment is a project that was invested nearly a year ago.
Guo Ya was in charge of this project at the time.
At that time, she, Huang Liya, seemed to have not yet joined the company.
After a quick recall in her mind, Huang Liya said: "Mr. Zheng, this... please wait a moment."
"Yeah!" Zheng Ge nodded slightly.
Huang Liya walked to the sofa nearby, took out a notebook, and started to quickly check.
