[231] Pfizer's confusion

In fact, the real Bayer Pharma has not yet been established, Friedrich Bayer founded in 1925 Farben Chemical Industries Company was split up by East and West Germany after World War II, and it was not until 1951 that it was rebuilt in West Germany to become Bayer Pigment Company, and in 1972 it was renamed Bayer AG, that is, the Bayer Group. In East Germany, Bayer was never rebuilt.

At the instigation of Xiaoqiang, the Chinese ambassador to East Germany, Ji Pengfei, proposed to the East German government that he wanted to register a pharmaceutical company in East Germany, called Bayer Pharmaceuticals, to carry out pharmaceutical import and export trade and some simple packaging of incoming materials. In addition, the company will sell pharmaceuticals in the European region.

The East German side is really not sure of China's nonsensical ideas, you are an agricultural country, what kind of medicine can you export to East Germany? Is this a swollen face and a fat man?

Fortunately, everyone is a socialist brother, and this small requirement can still be satisfied. As a result, the name Bayer Pharma appeared in East Germany.

As the amount of penicillin smuggled by Fok Yingdong became larger and larger, in just a few months, Bayer Pharma's penicillin could be seen throughout Shijie. Even in East Germany, Bayer Pharma's penicillin has appeared. The first batch of penicillin sent to the port of Rostock in East Germany on board the Soviet Far East ocean-going freighter from New China had just set off at this time.

The Far East is a 15,000-ton freighter that transports supplies from the Ukrainian port of Sevastopol to Vladivostok in the Far East, and despite the existence of the Trans-Siberian Railway, which connects Moscow with Vladivostok, the cost of sea freight from the Black Sea via the Bosphorus and the Suez Canal is still cheaper than that of the rail. However, Vladivostok really did not produce much in those years, so the Far East, which basically returned empty, made a good deal, and after collecting the freight, it carried penicillin and 12,500 tons of rice as tuition for two and a half years to Rostock, East Germany.

After the discovery of Bayer Pharma's penicillin, which was available at the price of cabbage in Western Europe, East Germany was the first in the socialist camp to realize that China had mastered the capacity to produce penicillin on an industrial scale. In view of the fact that the retail price of penicillin in China was cheaper than that produced in East Germany after several resales, East Germany offered China a jishu exchange in the hope that China would transfer the jishu to East Germany.

Of course, this request was rejected, not to mention that we haven't started production yet, and even if we do, we can't do this kind of thing of the church apprentice starving the master. So the Chinese government promised East Germany that it would export penicillin to East Germany at a low price, and it was up to the GDR to keep it for its own use or sell it to Europe or even Shijie. This price was finally determined to be $0.8 per box, which is the same standard as the price of supplying Fok Yingdong, and according to the current $1.5 a box in the market, East Germany can save $0.7 per box, or change hands to earn so much.

In fact, East German Chairman Ulbrich played this idea, and he could make money by easily changing hands, so why not do it? Although he failed to get the production of jishu, Ulbrich didn't care too much, after all, in his opinion, at this time in China, it is estimated that only the production of penicillin jishu can be regarded as a housekeeping skill, since it is the only magic weapon to watch the house, naturally no country is willing to provide it.

The parties agreed that the payment would be made in East German marks at the prevailing exchange rate.

The reason why the Chinese government agreed to accept the East German mark is because, according to Xiaoqiang's Jihua, China will bring in a large number of engineers from East Germany in the future, so this money can be spent. Taking a step back, even if it exists in the hand, once East and West Germany are united in the future, as a major condition for the international community to agree to the merger, West Germany will agree to exchange all East German marks for West German marks in equal value. For China, this is just a change of debtor.

And with the massive impact of Bayer penicillin on the market, Pfizer in the United States, even if it is sluggish, has found that the situation is not good. Pfizer and other U.S. penicillin-producing pharmaceutical companies have completely crushed overseas markets, and due to Bayer's ultra-low prices, Pfizer has found that it is completely unprofitable to sell penicillin at the current market price.

At present, Pfizer can only rely on its local advantages and the monopoly of barriers in the pharmaceutical industry to maintain domestic sales in the United States, even so, the price of $2 a box still makes doctors and pharmacies in major hospitals in the United States criticize. The director of New York's Mercy Hospital has even publicly questioned Pfizer why penicillin in the United States is more expensive than in Brazil!

How can Pfizer respond?

In 2011, the wholesale price of 800,000 units of penicillin was only 0.5 yuan, which was converted into a box of six in 1950 and only 3 yuan, while the supply price of the Chinese government was 0.8 US dollars, and the value of this face value of US dollars was more than 200 yuan in 2011, which was more than 70 times the profit! Although Xiaoqiang purchased barreled penicillin dry powder, the price was very low, but after the inefficient and high-cost packaging in 1950, the price was about the same as the purchase of the original single. However, in order to train workers and factories in the 1950s, Xiaoqiang naturally did not purchase a single penicillin of the finished product.

Fortunately, because the price of penicillin has fallen by 20 times and the market has expanded by nearly 10 times, Pfizer in the United States and Glaxo Wellcome in the United Kingdom are not worried about not being able to sell their products, and they will not have to close the production line, although according to the current momentum, this day is not far away.

Duroc, the boss of the Duroc International Trading Company in Uptown Manhattan, New York, was in a very good mood today, the first batch of penicillin worth $50,000 he ordered from Hong Kong arrived, and after removing the shipping costs, the CIF price of six boxes of penicillin purchased from Starlight Bank at a wholesale price of $1 was $1.05.

Duroc's salesman contacted a group of small East Coast pharmacy owners and doctors in small clinics, but the batch of penicillin was already fully booked while it was still floating at sea. So much so that Duroc had to instruct his Hong Kong agent to purchase a second batch.

The reason why it is so popular is because the price of Duroc is $1.5 per box, which is also the so-called global unified pricing that Bayer Pharma is currently advocating.

Duroc doesn't care if Pfizer lives or dies. God knows that if he is late, such a lucrative simple and good business will be snatched away by some other trader.

Duroc shared Duroc's ideas with the Bourbon Trading Company in New York, the West Coast Trading Company in San Francisco, and ......

It is said that after Xiaoqiang got drunk at the luncheon, he was sent home by Liu Zhen and Meng Sisi, and slept until the evening before waking up. After waking up, he was informed by Minister Li that the chairman ordered him to inspect the construction site of the Zhihuai frontier on behalf of his old man.

The departure time is tomorrow morning, and Xiaoqiang will take the chairman plane converted from the Li-2 transport plane purchased from the Soviet Union.

Xiaoqiang hurriedly took out his suitcase and packed it up with the help of Dongzi and Yu Feng.

Yu Feng, who heard the news and rushed to check Xiaoqiang's body before he left, pouted: "Why can't the chairman send someone else to leave as soon as he comes back?" ”

Dongzi said unconvinced: "This shows that the chief's ability is great, and the chairman values him." ”

Yu Feng wrote down Xiaoqiang's blood pressure and pulse in the notebook, and at the same time argued with Dongzi: "You little sycophant." ”

Dongzi was amused by Yu Feng's face flushed, and said unconvinced: "It's just a great ability!" Otherwise, why do you want our chief to go in person? I'm not a sycophant. ”

Xiaoqiang smiled: "You two are really in a good relationship now, and you can talk about the leader." ”

Yu Feng said quickly: "No matter how good it is, it is not as good as you and Meng Sisi." ”

As soon as Yu Feng finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and his face changed slightly.

Xiaoqiang noticed that Yu Feng was a little embarrassed, so he explained: "Aren't I getting along with Sisi, I'm also a big boss, and I'm going to consider getting married, you help me with the staff officer, what do you think of her." ”

That's what he said, but Xiaoqiang didn't mean to ask Yu Feng to help him at all, he just wanted to turn the conversation away from himself, and by the way, listen to everyone's praise of Meng Sisi.

Who knew that Yu Feng had no expression on his face, and said coldly: "I can't see this, but people are actors, so they are naturally very haode." ”

Dongzi said excitedly: "Miss Sisi is good! She also asked me how old I was this year, I said that I was 16 this year, and she asked me who else was in the family, I said that I was the only one in the family, she was about to shed tears, I said that I didn't want to go home, the army is my family, she praised me for being brave, I am really a good person, and ......"

Listening to Dongzi's muttering like a running account, Yu Feng finally got impatient and interrupted: "Xiaoqiang, you are still sick, qi and blood are deficient, you will drink the can of ginseng chicken soup stewed in the kitchen in a while, the little rooster and the old mountain ginseng were sent by the logistics department of the central government, and they said that they would be sent every week in the future." I saw the old ginseng, it has been in appearance for nearly ten years, and the condition is very good. Don't eat it all tonight, eat half of it, leave half of it in the crockpot, tomorrow morning I will ask Lao He to give you hot heat, you eat it before you go out, eat it all at once tonight, I'm afraid you will have a nosebleed. ”

Dongzi was not angry at all when he was interrupted by Yu Feng, and immediately said: "I'll go to the kitchen and bring it to you, Lao He just said that it has been stewed." ”

After speaking, Dongzi turned around and walked out of the small strong house.

Yu Feng watched Xiaoqiang pack his luggage, but he didn't come up to help, just stood aside and said: "You bring more clothes, in case it gets cold again, be careful of catching a cold, remember to rest on time every day after going out, don't be too tired, it's not good for your health." Be careful when you go to the river, don't take off your shoes and step on the cold water, you are weak in blood and are easy to be hurt by the cold. ”

Xiao Qiang listened to Yu Feng's advice, looked up at Yu Feng's eyes, and said seriously: "I remember, xiexie you, Yu Feng." ”

Yu Feng's face was hot, and he turned around and left.

When he came to his room, Yu Feng sat down in front of his half-old writing desk, and said to himself: "Yu Feng, Yu Feng, you are really unproductive, how can you be unsettled by him?" He's talked about the object, you can't have thoughts about him, right? ”

Thinking of this, Yu Feng remembered her teacher that day, Vice Minister of Health Fu Lianhuan came here to visit her, Xiaoqiang was on a business trip that day, Minister Fu personally came to see Yu Feng's daily health report, and in and out of words, it seemed that there was a match between himself and Xiaoqiang. Yu Feng blushed at that time, didn't dare to say anything, lowered his head and fiddled with the pocket cover on his yellow military uniform, but there was an indescribable joy in his heart.

Minister Fu said to Feng at that time: "Xiaofeng, I watched you grow up with my own eyes, your parents are my students, and you are my students, you are the same as my own granddaughter, you say, if you want, I will tell your parents." ”

Until now, Yu Feng couldn't help blushing as long as he thought of Teacher Fu's words.

But now it seems that he, Cao Xiaoqiang, is already in free love.

Thinking of this, Yu Feng hurriedly warned himself that he should put study and revolution first, and reached out from his desk to pick up a copy of the "Internal Medicine Physician's Handbook" newly compiled and published by the 491 Engineering Medical Group and read it.
