Chapter 546: In front of money, morality means nothing

"This request may be a bit excessive." Zhao Wen said.

What capitalists care about most is profit. If the profit does not exceed 50% in China, then there will be very little money to be made.

"Don't refuse in a hurry. You can write down my conditions and convey them to your company bosses so that they can decide on this matter."

In China, for some common drugs, the profit must not exceed 15% of the cost.

But the current situation cannot be determined in this way.

If he really dared to raise the 15% condition, it is estimated that Zhao Wen and others would not talk to him again.

Drugs are a huge profit industry, and 1000% profits are very common.

Therefore, I set the price at 50% of the cost, which is acceptable to ordinary people in China.

Zhao Wen paused and looked at Lin Yi.

"You said no more than 50% of the cost, do you mean the cost of raw materials?"

"Of course not." Lin Yi thought it was a bit funny. It was probably scary for Zhao Wen to say such a thing.

"Capitalists are human beings too, and they also need to make ends meet." Lin Yi said:

"The costs I am talking about also include R\u0026D costs, time costs and transportation costs. In a word, all costs are counted, and the profit must not be higher than 50%."

Everyone's faces improved a little. Although such conditions were very harsh, at least there was some room for negotiation.

"What's the other condition?" Zhao Wen asked:

"Pfizer and the six major pharmaceutical companies have a pivotal position in the world. I hope you can help me accomplish something."

Zhao Wen looked at Lin Yi. This was the first time she saw a soft look in this man's eyes.

It was also the first time that 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 around the world to reduce the price of some drugs for the treatment of rare diseases to two-thirds of the original price, but only for the Chinese region."

“Reducing prices for drugs that treat rare diseases?”

Everyone present was surprised. They did not expect Lin Yi to make such a request.

Because none of these requirements can bring him immediate and practical benefits.

To put it bluntly, it is to make wedding clothes for others.

Why did he do this?

At this time, Lin Yi was also worried.

From a certain perspective, my requirements are indeed a bit excessive.

Because pharmaceutical companies have spent unimaginable time and energy, as well as countless dollars, when researching these drugs.

Even if they don't agree, it's understandable.

The 700,000-unit price of Nosinadine Sodium, even if it is reduced by one-third, will still cost nearly 470,000 units.

For some families, this is still a figure they cannot afford.

But as far as the current situation is concerned.

Even a penny reduction can give them a glimmer of hope for survival.

And that's all I can do.

"Mr. Lin, can you provide some specific names for the rare disease drugs you are referring to so that we can make further reference?" Zhao Wen said.

"For example, there are a series of drugs such as Nosinaxin Sodium, Zolgensma, Glyceryl Phenylbutyrate, Carglutamic Acid Tablets, etc. I hope that the price of these drugs can be reduced to two-thirds of the original price." Lin Yi said:

"That's all I ask for."

"Actually, there is still room for negotiation on the first two requirements, but the third condition is really difficult." Zhao Wen shook her head and said:

"Because there are dozens of types of these drugs and they are distributed among dozens of companies. This is not something we can decide. There is no way we can agree to it. We hope you can understand our difficulties."

"I know this matter is difficult to handle, but we can contact as many as we can." Lin Yi said:

"Of course, I can't let you work in vain. When developing new drugs, I can take nothing from you. You don't have to pay me any fees. All the profits from the drugs will be shared equally by the seven major pharmaceutical companies."

Lin Yi's words made everyone present understand that he really didn't want to make money on this matter.

Really just trying to do something good.

"We are here today only to negotiate and discuss the specific details. We will report the matter to the headquarters later. As for whether we can agree to your request, we are not sure."

"You know my temper. These are my three most basic requirements. If one of them cannot be met, there will be no room for negotiation on this matter."

"I know."

Lin Yi stood up, stood facing the people present and said:

"I've said everything that needs to be said, and you can talk about the rest. I'll ask Wang Tianlong to set the table later. If you have any requests, just ask him."

Zhao Wen looked at Lin Yi, "Do you know the owner of this store?"

"This hotel is mine."

"So that's it."

Lin Yi stood up and walked to the door, but the moment he opened the door, he turned back and said:

"If you agree to my request, you will be a partner. You can stay in the presidential suite of the Peninsula Hotel and eat whatever you want, and it will all be on my account. But if you don't agree, you have to pay for it yourself."

Zhao Wen:......

Lin Yi left the conference room, Zhao Wen and others did not leave, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

"His conditions have been laid out. Let's all express our opinions and talk about our views on this matter." Zhao Wen said.

"Given China Shipping's international status, it is not a big problem to set up the research institute here, and it can also radiate throughout Asia and save a lot of transportation costs, so this request is not too much, and the headquarters should agree." Ray said:

"Although the second request is excessive, there is actually room for negotiation."

"Because it covers both time cost and R\u0026D cost, they are all one-time investments. Through the later sales process, the market in China can almost cover all the costs. If these drugs are priced according to our , sold all over the world, the profits are still considerable, so the problem is not too big. The only difficulty is the third condition."

After hearing Frey's words, everyone else nodded silently.

The nature of a businessman is to pursue capital and profit. As long as it is profitable, everything is negotiable.

But all the problems focus on the third point.

Even if they wanted to agree, they were powerless.

Representatives of the six major pharmaceutical companies focused their attention on Zhao Wen. She is a representative of Pfizer, and her speech and opinions will have a certain weight.

After about a minute of silence, Zhao Wen sighed and showed a helpless smile.

"Lin Yi is really bold and smart."

Everyone showed puzzled looks, UU Reading www.uukanshu. nettI don’t know what Zhao Wen means.

"He is betting on the ambitions of capitalists." Zhao Wen said:

"We here represent the seven major pharmaceutical giants in the world. A small part of the special drugs he just mentioned are produced by our major companies. If it drops to two-thirds, it will not be a big problem, but it is still There are many produced by other pharmaceutical companies."

"He wants us to put pressure on other small factories for our own benefit, and use dimensionality reduction to force them to sign price reduction agreements."

"But such an approach is completely unethical. If he does this, it will push this cooperation to a dead end!"

"Morality means nothing when it comes to money."

Zhao Wen looked at Wei Kang with a calm expression.

"From the initial global opening and tariff reduction policy, to the later intellectual property system, to the Creative Commons licensing agreement, and the US dollar oil trading system, look at the United States, when has it ever been reasonable? When has it ever talked to you about morality? ?”
