Chapter: 3776
Adding to its limited production, it's something that everyone is desperate for.
In this situation, everything is purely a buyer's market, and the buyer is the daddy.
Therefore, he could only apologize with a sheepish face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Leaf, I just didn't use the right words……"
After saying that, he quickly conveyed his attitude: "Please rest assured, we are willing to pay the medicine fee, but we still don't know how you plan to price this medicine?"
Leaf smiled and said, "Since you're the one responsible for FDA, you should know that many effective drugs' research costs are extremely high, so their prices are also extremely high……"
By the way, Leaf intentionally changed the subject and laughed, saying, "I heard that your FDA recently approved a certain drug, which costs over 2 million dollars per injection? Is that true?"
"Yes......" Smith wiped his sweat and hesitantly said, "That's the medicine developed by Novartis, used to treat infant spinal muscular atrophy."
Leaf nodded and laughed, saying, "So our super-effective medicine for treating terminal cancer must also have a high price, don't you think?"
Smith hastily said, "Mr. Leaf, that Novartis medicine is so expensive because it can cure...... the Nine Heavens Refining Pill requires long-term use, so if the price is set too high, no one will be able to afford it......"
Leaf laughed and said, "Don't worry, we won't possibly sell a box of medicine for over 2 million dollars - that's ridiculous!"
Smith slightly relaxed.
He was really afraid Leaf would open his mouth wide.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think: "If it's really 2 million dollars per box, apart from billionaires with assets exceeding tens of billions, I'm afraid no one can afford it - after all, a single injection is 30 million dollars, and if a patient takes medication for a year, they'll need to spend over 1 billion dollars, which is just like asking them to die......"
Leaf opened his mouth at this time and said, "I think we should just set the price of our medicine at 10 million per box - that's quite suitable."
Leaf laughed and said, "There's no way. Our R&D costs are very high, production costs are very high, and output is very low. Even if we sell each box for 1 million dollars, our annual sales will only be around 10 billion dollars, which isn't that high. Western pharmaceutical companies can make over 100 billion dollars in sales from a single anti-body drug per year. What's your problem?"
As he was saying this, Leaf added, "You need to understand that our traditional Eastern medicine relies on various natural resources, not like your chemical drugs that only require developing a molecular formula and putting it into production lines like mass-producing plastic fabric."
Nine Heavens Rejuvenation Pill is indeed impossible for him to mass-produce, at least he's far from having the ability now.
After all, this medicine really relies on scattered blood heart-panacea. He can't just sit at home day and night brewing elixirs without doing anything else.
So, even if he has a benevolent wish to save everyone, he simply doesn't have the ability to do so.
That's why the production volume of this medicine must be very small.
He makes this medicine not for profit, but to help Nine Heavens Pharmaceutical open up markets around the world.
Smith heard this and immediately inferred: "Nine Heavens Pharmaceutical can't mass-produce this product because their own production technology is insufficient, resulting in output that can't break through."
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Wei, Mr. Leaf, don't you two have any interest in selling the patent for this medicine to an American pharmaceutical company?"
Leaf looked at Smith with a squinty eye when he heard this.
To him, this cunning old fox's tail was finally about to show up. JrNovels.com
