Lin Chen also knew that what Su Zhengyi said was not wrong.
The price of a bottle of Stardust No. 1 is RMB 30,000, which cannot be said to be unscrupulous.
The reason is also because of the miraculous efficacy of Stardust No. 1.
Currently on the market, the so-called special drugs for treating Alzheimer's disease are only effective in weakening the disease and cannot cure it at all.
In other words, if the patient wants to be fine, he must take this medicine until he dies.
In this way, although the unit price of other drugs may be much cheaper than Stardust 1, cumulatively, it still amounts to a huge amount of money.
But Stardust 1 is different. It costs 30,000 yuan and can directly cure the disease without any side effects.
If this cannot be considered medicine for conscience, then what other medicine can be called medicine for conscience?
However, although Su Zhengyi's logic was correct, it did not conform to Lin Chen's wishes.
Lin Chen touched his chin and then said: "Uncle Su, your idea is indeed correct, but it's a pity that there is still a gap between my idea and mine."
"Oh? Then Xiaolin, tell me. What do you think we should price it at? This medicine belongs to you, so naturally you have the final say on the price. Our price is just a reference for you." Su Zhengyi said with some surprise.
He knew that Lin Chen's situation outside was not good recently, and those rumors must have put a lot of pressure on him, so it was possible that Lin Chen wanted to give him some leverage to calm down the turmoil outside. Su Zhengyi had already made preparations for this.
Mental preparation.
However, he felt that he still needed to remind Lin Chen about some things.
"Xiao Lin, if you want to lower the price, it's not impossible. After all, you have a complete patent on this medicine, and there are no similar competitors on the market. Even if you lower the price and make profits, you won't make much less money."
"It's just that I have to remind you that when it comes to drug prices, you shouldn't feel that there is anything shameful in setting drug prices high."
"Because the research and development of a drug requires considerable funds, and it also faces the risk of R&D failure and wasted funds. These risks and losses are borne by the R&D company."
"With such a big risk and such a big investment, if you can't get enough returns, who will develop new drugs? This world is not a world of philanthropists after all. There are only interests! And only interests will push everything forward.
forward."
"So Lin Chen, you don't need to have too much psychological burden when setting the price."
Su Zhengyi's words were very pertinent, and Lin Chen understood them very well.
Unfortunately, Su Zhengyi was wrong about one thing, that is, this time Stardust 1 was a complete surprise for Lin Chen.
It is true that he invested a lot of money, and the expenditure was staggering, but the real purpose of these investments was to develop Professor Chen Xiao's elixir of life.
This time, Stardust 1 was just an add-on. To Lin Chen, it was like an unexpected surprise brought by the strong wind.
Therefore, what Su Zhengyi said just now is not applicable to this situation at all.
Lin Chen then said: "Uncle Su, I plan to sell my medicine at this price..."
As soon as Lin Chen said a number, Su Zhengyi's face changed wildly and he couldn't help but stand up: "What? Lin Chen, are you crazy? This money, not to mention anything else, excludes channel expenses and publicity expenses.
, if you sell like this, you will definitely lose money! Not only you, but even our Mingyue Group may also lose money along with you!"
"Uncle Su, you are exaggerating. I have asked someone to calculate this price, and it is still profitable." Lin Chen said, "The pharmaceutical industry is a hugely profitable industry, and the profits here are not comparable to those in ordinary industries, so even if this price is
Regarding the price, we still make money, it’s just that we make more and less.”
Seeing that Lin Chen had already prepared, Su Zhengyi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
But businessmen pursue profits, even Su Zhengyi. Although Lin Chen's prices are indeed profitable, those who could originally earn 10,000 can only earn 100 at his price. The gap is really too big.
Although Su Zhengyi was very familiar with Lin Chen, he was reluctant to give up such a huge profit.
"Uncle Su, actually you don't have to worry too much. I won't lose a penny of the money you should earn."
Lin Chen suddenly said: "Actually, the price I just mentioned is only the domestic retail price."
"domestic……"
Su Ningyu's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but say: "Lin Chen! Could it be that you want to copy the pricing model of Huawei mobile phones?"
"You still understand me." Lin Chu couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Su, I really want to copy my pricing method on Huawei mobile phones this time."
"This time, I plan to sell Stardust 1 at a low price in China, but we will earn back this price loss through the retail price of Stardust 1 abroad."
"Although I am a businessman, I am also a Chinese. I feel that as a Chinese, I can make some money, but there are also some money that I cannot. And this is the case with Stardust 1."
"Stardust 1 will implement a low-price strategy in China, and implement a high-price strategy overseas, using foreigners' money to subsidize our Chinese patients. This is my original intention for pricing this time."
Although Lin Chen said it casually, Su Zhengyi knew that this kid had actually made up his mind.
Since he can say these words, his mind has been made up, and it is useless for him to say more.
So after thinking about it, Su Zhengyi felt that instead of continuing to be verbose, it would be better to agree to Lin Chen.
Anyway, he was right. Compared with China, those foreigners have a much higher ability to afford sky-high-priced medicines.
As everyone knows, something like this has happened in foreign countries. A drug that originally cost only a few dollars suddenly increased by more than a hundred times because a company bought the patent. Although the patients complained endlessly, they still persisted in the end.
My scalp accepted the price.
They have accepted this kind of thing, so there shouldn't be any problem if Stardust 1 is sold to them at a slightly higher price.
The effect of Stardust One is really good!
And speaking of it, Alzheimer's disease seems to have more patients abroad. World celebrities like Commander Li Gen and Mrs. Saqima are also patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Thinking about it this way, maybe according to Lin Chen's pricing strategy, Mingyue Group can earn more.
Hey, why is this kid so powerful? It would be great if he could really become his son-in-law!
The two then began to discuss the specific operations, including the domestic selling price and the retail prices in various overseas regions, all of which were determined one by one during this meeting.
And when everything was finalized, Lin Chen's final preparations to counter this public opinion storm were completed.
