Chapter 546: In the face of money, moral bullshit is not
"This may be a bit excessive. Zhao Wen said.
The most important thing for capitalists is profit, and if the profit does not exceed 50% in the Chinese region, then the money they can make is very small.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you can write down my conditions and convey them to your company boss, so that they can decide this matter. ”
In Huaxia, the profit of some ordinary drugs must not exceed 15% of the cost.
However, the current situation cannot be determined in this way.
If he really dares to put forward the 15% condition, it is estimated that Zhao Wen and others will not talk to him again.
Pharmaceuticals are a profiteering industry, and 1000% profits are very common.
Therefore, setting the price at 50% of the cost is acceptable to ordinary people in China.
Zhao Wen paused and looked at Lin Yi.
"You say no more than 50% of the cost, do you mean the cost of raw materials?"
"Of course not. Lin Yi felt a little funny, and it was probably a shame to make Zhao Wen say such a thing.
"Capitalists are also human beings, and they also need to have a good meal. Lin Yi says:
"The cost I am talking about also includes R&D costs, time costs and transportation costs, in a word, all costs are counted, and then the profit should not be higher than 50%. ”
Everyone's faces were a little better, although such conditions were also very harsh, but at least there was a little room for negotiation.
"What's the other condition?" Zhao Wen asked.
"You Pfizer and the Big Six pharmaceutical companies have a pivotal position in the world, and I hope you can help me make one happen. ”
Zhao Wen looked at Lin Yi, this was the first time she saw a soft gaze in this man's eyes.
It was also the first time I saw him talking to these people in a consultative tone.
"Mr. Lin, please speak. ”
"I hope you can join forces 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 Chinese region. ”
"Lowering prices for drugs to treat rare diseases?"
Everyone present was surprised, they didn't expect Lin Yi to make such a request.
Because none of these demands 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 apprehensive.
From a certain point of view, my own requirements are indeed excessive.
Because pharmaceutical companies, when researching these drugs, spend unimaginable time and energy, as well as countless amounts of money.
Even if they don't agree, it's understandable.
700,000 sticks of nusinersen sodium, even if it drops by one-third, it will still cost nearly 470,000 sticks.
For some families, this is still an unaffordable number.
But for the time being.
Even if it is a penny, it can give them a glimmer of hope for life.
And that's all you can do.
"Mr. Lin, can you provide some specific names for the rare disease drugs you are referring to, and we can refer to them further. Zhao Wen said.
"For example, nusinersen sodium, zogensma, glyceryl phenylbutyrate, carboglutamic acid tablets and a series of other drugs, I hope that the price of these drugs can be reduced to two-thirds of the original. Lin Yi says:
"That's all I want. ”
"In fact, 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 medicines, and they are distributed in dozens of companies, this is not something we can decide, I can't promise you at all, and I hope you can understand our difficulties. ”
"I know it's hard to do, but I can get in touch as much as I can. Lin Yi says:
"Of course, I can't let you work in vain, when it comes to developing new drugs, I can take nothing, you don't have to give me any fees, all the profits of the drug can be shared equally by your seven major pharmaceutical companies. ”
Lin Yi's words made the people present understand that he really didn't want to make money in this matter.
Really just wanted to do something good.
"We are here today to be in charge of negotiating and negotiating the specific details, and we will report this to the headquarters later, and we are not sure whether we can agree to your request. ”
"My temper, you know, these are my three most basic requirements, and if one of them can't be done, there is no room for negotiation in this matter. ”
"I understand. ”
Lin Yi got up, stood at the people present and said:
"I've said everything that should be said, you can talk about the rest, and I'll let Wang Tianlong put it on the table later, and you can just mention it to him if you have any requirements." ”
Zhao Wen looked at Lin Yi, "Do you know the owner of this shop?"
"This hotel is mine. ”
"I see. ”
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, then you are a partner, you can stay in the presidential suite of the Peninsula Hotel, and eat whatever you want, but if you don't agree, you will have to pay for it yourself. ”
Zhao Wen: ......
Lin Yi left from the conference room, Zhao Wen and the others did not leave, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.
"His conditions have been laid out, and everyone will express their opinions on this matter. Zhao Wen said.
"With the status of China Shipping in the world, it is not a big problem to set up the institute here, and it can also radiate the whole of Asia, saving a lot of transportation costs, so this request is not excessive, and the headquarters should agree." Frey says:
"The second request, although excessive, is negotiable. ”
"Because it covers the cost of time, and the cost of research and development, both are one-time investment, through the later sales link, the market in Huaxia, almost all the costs, if these drugs, according to our pricing, sold to 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, everyone else nodded silently.
The nature of a businessman is to pursue profits, and as long as it is profitable, everything is negotiable.
But all the problems are focused on the third point.
Even if they want to agree, they are powerless.
The representatives of the six major pharmaceutical companies have focused their attention on Zhao Wen, she is the representative of Pfizer, and her speeches and opinions will have a certain weight.
After being silent for about a minute, Zhao Wen sighed and smiled a little helplessly.
"Lin Yi, he's really bold and smart. ”
Everyone showed puzzled eyes, not knowing what Zhao Wen meant.
"He's betting on the ambitions of the capitalists. Zhao Wen said:
"All of us here represent the world's seven major pharmaceutical giants, and a small part of the special drugs he just mentioned are produced by our major companies, and if it is reduced to two-thirds, it is not a big problem, but there are many more, which are produced by other pharmaceutical companies. ”
"He wants us to put pressure on other small factories for our own interests, and use dimensionality reduction to force them to sign price reduction agreements. ”
"But this kind of practice is completely immoral, and if he does this, it will push this cooperation to a dead end!"
"In the face of money, moral bullshit is not. ”
Zhao Wen looked at Wei Kang with a calm expression.
"From the very beginning of global opening-up and tariff reduction policies, to the later intellectual property system, to the Creative Commons licensing agreement, and the US dollar oil trade system, when did you talk about morality when did you talk about morality?"
