Chapter 338 Hundreds of Times of Profit and "Miracles"

foreign.

Just as many patients and their families were searching the market for the specific drug for treating leukemia mentioned in a paper published in a journal.

The medicine "Bazhen Shenxi Pills" that several families urgently airlifted from China has finally been launched on the market.

This Chinese patent medicine is mainly made of various medicinal materials such as ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, roasted licorice, white peony, angelica, Rehmannia root, Chuanxiong and arsenic.

The dosage of arsenic in it was strictly controlled by Wang Mengde to a safe level to ensure that the harm to the human body would not be serious.

If the patient is only seriously ill and will not die immediately, but dies soon after taking this medicine, it will be troublesome.

Not only will he have to pay a huge sum of money, but it will also damage his and Chinese medicine's reputation.

Therefore, Wang Mengde is very cautious whether it is medicines used by the domestic people or medicines exported to earn foreign exchange.

England.

Elizabeth is a very beautiful ten-year-old girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and looks as cute as a doll.

Although her family is not particularly wealthy, her mother is a housewife and she has a younger brother and sister, but her father is an engineer who works in a large company, so they can be considered middle class.

Originally, she should have had a happy childhood, learning knowledge in school without worries, and then after graduating from college, finding a decent job and marrying a man of the same class, her life would be very sweet.

Unfortunately.

The originally exciting and happy life suddenly encountered a disturbance a year ago.

Elizabeth was diagnosed with leukemia.

When the family first heard the news, it was as if the world had fallen on them. The family, which used to be full of laughter and joy, no longer had the same atmosphere as before and everyone became sad and worried.

Not to mention her parents, who aged several years overnight. Her younger brothers and sisters also seemed to realize that something was wrong and turned from being naughty children into well-behaved kids.

Next, the family went to all the major hospitals in England for Elizabeth's condition, and even tried going to many large hospitals in Europe.

But the results were very disappointing. No matter which hospital we went to, they were helpless and didn't even have the ability to slow down the disease.

Elizabeth's father worked hard to earn money while worrying about his daughter's illness. He was in his thirties, but now he looked like a man in his forties, and even his hair was starting to turn gray.

Her mother cried every day, couldn't eat or sleep well, and looked very haggard.

In addition to going to major hospitals for treatment, they would also try all the special medicines on the market with a desperate attitude.

Over the past year, they have tried every possible means, including scientific treatments, so-called mysterious remedies, and even religion.

Not only was there no effect, but many hospitals also diagnosed that Elizabeth would not survive more than half a year if her condition continued to progress at this rate.

Just when the family was in despair, Elizabeth's father, in the company, suddenly heard about the two papers published by Wang Mengde that were published in a top journal.

The paper not only introduces simple treatment methods in detail, but also provides analysis of more than 400 cases.

He was not interested in the treatment methods, but was very concerned about the results shown in more than 400 cases.

There, more than 400 cases were divided into several types, with detailed introductions to the reactions and effects of each type at multiple stages after taking the medicine.

According to statistics, these more than 400 people have persisted in treatment, the earliest of whom has been receiving treatment for two years, and are still in good health without recurrence of the disease.

Every patient is surviving well after receiving treatment.

Seeing this, Elizabeth's father rekindled the fire of hope in his heart.

If the information was from a third-rate gossip newspaper or magazine, he would at most hold out for a slim chance, and even if he bought it back, it would only be to give himself psychological comfort.

But this is a paper published in one of the world's top journals, so its authenticity should not be a problem.

This made him look forward to it very much.

He did not seek a complete cure; as long as his daughter could live another 10 or 20 years without much pain, as the paper said, he would be satisfied.

After all, my daughter just celebrated her tenth birthday, and there are still many wonderful things in the world that she has not seen yet.

Moreover, if one can survive for another ten or twenty years, perhaps by that time, technology will have advanced and there may be hope for a complete cure.

This is not a fantasy. Over the past few decades, more and more diseases that were once considered incurable have specific medicines.

Even if you can't recover completely, at most you will just become a patient who needs to take medicine for a long time.

Ten days after he read the paper, the specific drug for treating leukemia was finally launched on the market after his long-awaited efforts.

On this day, Elizabeth's father took a day off from work and went to the hospital early to queue up.

Queuing up with him were more than a dozen family members of other leukemia patients.

These people had the same idea as him.

Because it had just been launched on the market, not many people came to buy this Bazhen Shenxi Pills, so they all bought two boxes very smoothly.

As for why they only bought two boxes, enough for ten days, it was not because they didn't want to buy more or because there was no stock, but because the price of this medicine was too expensive.

The price of a box was as high as one hundred and ninety-eight U.S. dollars. At that time, in developed countries like the United States, the average monthly salary of an average worker was only around one thousand U.S. dollars.

If this medicine is effective, they will buy it for their family members even if it means selling everything they have, but they are afraid that it will not work and the money will be wasted.

Chinese Medical Research Institute.

In the dean's office.

“Comrade Wang Mengde, I heard that the national export price of this special medicine for treating leukemia, Bazhen Shenxi Pills, is fifty dollars a box.

There are only five pills in a box. Even if the patient only takes one pill a day, six boxes are needed in a month.

If you calculate it this way, a patient's family would have to spend three hundred dollars a month just on this drug. Would foreigners be willing to buy it?"

Dean Lu said with some doubt.

When he heard the price, he was shocked.

The average wage of Chinese workers is only 40 or 50 yuan, and that’s in RMB.

Take Wang Mengde, for example, whose income is already among the highest in the country, he only makes more than 140 yuan a month.

If converted into US dollars according to the official exchange rate, it would be less than one hundred US dollars. Even if you don't eat or drink, you can't even buy two boxes of Bazhen Shenxi Pills.

He knew the cost of Bazhen Shenxi Pills. Taking into account the workers, equipment and raw materials, it would be less than one yuan per box at most, and that was in RMB.

Now that the government has set the price so high, he is worried that no one can afford it.

"Hehe, Dean, you worry too much.

The wages of people abroad are different from those in China. As far as I know, the average wage of a worker in developed countries is more than one thousand dollars a month. If there are two or three people working in a family, they can earn several thousand dollars a month, so we don’t have to worry about the price for them. ”

Wang Mengde explained with a smile.

In fact, he was changing the concept. The factory price in China is fifty US dollars. Based on his understanding of those foreign merchants, if this medicine is not sold for about two hundred US dollars in the market, the reputation of ZBJ will be wasted.

Moreover, only a few countries can achieve workers' income of more than $1,000 per month. The income of workers in most countries is definitely far less than this amount.

So, if there is a patient with leukemia in the family, the medicine alone will cost about one thousand dollars a month, which is also a huge burden for foreign families.

Even a large number of families can only afford to eat by selling all their belongings.

"The price is very high, but the key is that this medicine only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. You have to take one pill every day.

Once the medication is stopped for a period of time, the condition will rapidly worsen. For the sake of life, both the patient and his family will do their best to receive treatment.

The pressure of life every year is too great.”

Dean Lu thought about it and then spoke again.

“Dean, the country has considered this price, and it is indeed a bit high, but it will be of great benefit to our country.

The profit from each box sold is nearly fifty dollars. If one can sell 100,000 boxes per month, that would be five million dollars in revenue.

If the number is 200,000 boxes, 300,000 boxes, 500,000 boxes, or even one million boxes, the foreign exchange earnings would be a huge number.

Such a large amount of money can bring huge benefits to the country and buy a lot of industrial equipment and daily necessities.”

Wang Mengde talked about the benefits of high prices to the country, paused, and then continued:

"Besides, this is not how our country does it. Foreign countries have been treating China this way for a long time.

The goods imported from other developed countries, whether they are industrial equipment or finished products, have very large premiums.

Just like many hospitals' medical equipment, especially large and sophisticated inspection equipment, the prices of all of them are very high.

In fact, their costs are not that much, and the profits they make are several times higher.

What we are doing now is just normal business behavior.”

Wang Mengde is not lying.

Although Guang'anmen Hospital is a Chinese medicine hospital affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it has also purchased a lot of inspection equipment because of the combination of Chinese and Western medicine.

Only a small part of these devices are domestically produced, and most of them are imported from abroad.

As a person from later generations, he knows how deep the waters are in medicine and medical devices and how huge the profits are.

A few times the profit is already considered conscientious. For an exclusive business, it would be foolish not to make more than dozens of times the profit.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, what you said is indeed correct and reasonable. I just thought it was too simple.

Just like the CT machine, our country did not have the production capacity before, so those foreign merchants raised the selling price and made things difficult for us at will.

After our country was able to produce it, they started to lower the price again, hoping to bring down our company through a price war.

Other industries also have this problem to some extent. We are only making dozens of times the profit from medicines, which is already merciful."

Dean Lu also remembered the cruelty those countries had shown towards China, so he nodded and said in agreement.

“Dean, after calculation, the profit of this Eight Treasures Divine Rhino Pill is probably hundreds of times.

From now on, all the medicines we export will be made in this way. If we do not make enough profit in the early stage, it will be difficult to make money when other countries produce medicines with similar effects in the later stage.

After all, the cost of medicines or other goods produced in our country does not have any advantages. "

Wang Mengde also added.

He will definitely have other research results in the future, especially those that are recognized as incurable diseases in the world, and he will conquer them one by one.

At that time, you must gain both fame and fortune, and never do anything that only seeks fame without profit.

Every special medicine for treating terminal illness must squeeze out the most profit, and at the same time, it can also bring him huge fame.

A month later.

In England, ten-year-old Elizabeth was walking slowly in her yard.

During this month, she took a special medicine imported from China every day.

I felt the pain in my body was much less, and my pale face gradually gained a hint of redness.

I used to lie in bed and didn’t want to move at all, but now I can go out and walk around.

The huge change surprised her parents. To further confirm the situation, they took her to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.

The attending doctor couldn't believe the results of the examination. He was afraid that there was something wrong with the instrument, so he asked her to do it again.

When the results came out again, even the director of this famous hospital was "shocked".

After consulting with several well-known experts and comparing the results of examinations one month before and after, they finally confirmed that the condition of the little girl was improving.

This conclusion made all the doctors present call it a "miracle".

You know, this is leukemia, which is diagnosed as a terminal illness by the world's medical community and all doctors.

I didn’t expect that there is a specific medicine that can really make the patient’s condition better. It’s incredible.

In the next few days, the hospital received several more leukemia patients for examination.

Without exception, they all took Bazhen Shenxi Pills every day, and their health conditions improved to varying degrees.

Similar situations have also occurred in other major hospitals.

Gradually, more and more leukemia patients or their families received this information.

As expected, the Bazhen Shenxi Pills were a big hit.

Only tens of thousands of boxes were sold in the first month, but in the second month, the number reached more than 300,000 boxes, and this was still a shortage of stock.

If there is sufficient supply, at least 500,000 boxes can be sold.

At present, all major hospitals and pharmacies are filled with people asking if there is any supply of Bazhen Shenxi Pills.

Seeing this situation, those merchants unsurprisingly all adjusted their selling prices upwards. Even so, demand still could not keep up with supply.
