Everyone else left the meeting room one after another.

Only Zhong Xiaokai and Li Pengju were left in the conference room.

Li Pengju asked, "Mr. Zhong, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhong Xiaokai asked, "Director Li, what did you just mention about centralized drug procurement? Could you explain it in detail?"

Li Pengju was poached from another pharmaceutical company after Shanshui Pharmaceutical was established.

I have been working in the pharmaceutical industry for many years.

Therefore, they are very clear about some of the ins and outs of the medical industry.

This was the first time that Zhong Xiaokai heard of the centralized procurement of medicines that he mentioned just now.

Therefore, I would like to know more about the situation.

"Oh...that's it, Mr. Zhong."

Li Pengju immediately responded:

"This centralized procurement of medicines has only become popular in recent years."

"In the past, if a drug wanted to enter a hospital, it could only go through the hospital's own procurement department."

"In recent years, some government departments have set up centralized procurement committees to lower drug prices."

"The committee has joined forces with many local hospitals to conduct centralized procurement."

"The volume of centralized procurement is large, so we require manufacturers to give the lowest price."

"I'll give you the simplest example and you'll understand."

"If we have five hospitals in Jingzhou City, each hospital used to purchase cold medicine through its own purchasing department."

"As a result, the cold medicine purchased by the five hospitals may be from five different manufacturers, and the price will be higher when it is sold to the public."

"Now the government is organizing five hospitals to jointly purchase cold medicine from a certain company, so the price can be negotiated."

After hearing Li Pengju's explanation, Zhong Xiaokai understood.

"To put it bluntly, the purchasing power has been taken away by the centralized procurement committee."

"That's what it means."

Li Pengju nodded.

"However, the centralized procurement committee only purchases relatively expensive drugs, such as targeted drugs."

"Centralized purchasing will take place twice a year, and the next one should be in two months."

"Of course, although it is true that there is a centralized procurement committee."

"But in order to ensure some of their own gray income, hospitals will still purchase some drugs from other manufacturers through their own procurement departments."

“This is all tacitly understood.”

"But for pharmaceutical companies, it does provide an additional channel."

"It's not easy to get on the centralized procurement list."

Zhong Xiaokai asked curiously, "Why is it so difficult?"

Li Pengju leaned forward and said:

"Then I will first tell you the requirements on the surface."

"First of all, they require that the pharmaceutical company participating in the bidding must be strong and have the ability to provide stable supply."

"Secondly, the clinical trial results of this drug must meet their requirements."

"Of course, this is not the hardest thing. The hardest thing is to have someone to help speak up."

"Mr. Zhong, I don't need to explain it so clearly, you should know it."

After hearing what he said, Zhong Xiaokai understood what he meant.

If you know someone, this will be easy.

"I understand your idea."

"Did Lanxing Pharmaceuticals make the last centralized procurement for its targeted drugs?"

Li Pengju nodded and said, "Of course."

"Before our product was launched on the market, they were the only company with a targeted drug for treating leukemia."

"That's true."

Zhong Xiaokai smiled and then asked.

"What level of organization is this centralized procurement committee?"

Li Pengju thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be low."

"The highest-level centralized procurement committee is responsible for procurement for hospitals nationwide."

After listening to this, Zhong Xiaokai said, "Okay, I understand the situation. Go ahead and get busy."

Li Pengju thought Zhong Xiaokai was just asking out of curiosity.

Without thinking too much, he stood up and said:

"Okay, Mr. Zhong, I'll get busy."

In the conference room.

Zhong Xiaokai sat on the stool and began to think about the centralized procurement committee.

According to what Li Pengju said, this centralized procurement committee has great power.

As long as you pass their review, you will be included in the procurement list.

Then it will naturally be included in the procurement list of various hospitals.

This way, a lot of trouble can be saved.

Since it is a centralized drug procurement, the participation of the health department is inevitable.

The father of my best friend Chen Jun works in the health department.

And this Chen Jun also works at the Medical University.

He must know something about it.

Why not give him a call and ask about the situation.

Then, he called his best friend Chen Jun.

"Hey, Junzi, what are you busy with?"

"Xiao Kai, why did you think of calling me? Are you going to treat me to a drink?"

"Hehe... I haven't gone back yet, don't worry, I'll give you some wine."

"Okay, you said it, I want pure imported Lafite."

"No problem, drink as much as you want."

After a few pleasantries, Zhong Xiaokai got down to business.

He asked, "Junzi, I want to ask you something."

"Do you know anything about the Drug Procurement Committee?"

Chen Jun asked curiously, "Xiao Kai, last time you asked about the situation at your Drug Administration."

"You're asking the centralized procurement committee this time? What? Are you in the pharmaceutical business?"

Zhong Xiaokai smiled and said, "I guess so. I'll explain it to you later."

"Tell me about the situation here first."

"You owe me another drink."

Chen Jun made a joke and then said:

"I'm telling you, I actually know about this."

"Our old man was the former head of the purchasing committee."

When Zhong Xiaokai heard this, he immediately became excited.

"Really? Then I really asked the right person."

Chen Jun changed the subject and said, "But that was last time."

"Because this centralized procurement committee is not a permanent unit."

"Every time, when bidding is about to start, the health department, commerce department, and drug supervision department jointly set up an agency."

"Then we negotiate with pharmaceutical companies to get a relatively low purchase price."

After hearing this, Zhong Xiaokai understood.

It turns out that they are not permanent institutions, which means that the members of the committee will be different every year.

Before he could speak, Chen Jun on the opposite side asked:

"Xiao Kai, what kind of medicine are you selling?"

"If you have a stable channel, don't consider centralized procurement. The price is too low."

Zhong Xiaokai kept it a secret and did not say that what he was selling was a targeted drug.

Instead, he said, "I understand, Junzi, thank you for your reminder."

"I'm just asking casually. I haven't decided yet."

Chen Jun said on the other end of the phone:

"Okay, if you need any help, just tell me."

"I will definitely help if I can."

"That's a good brother."

Zhong Xiaokai smiled and said, "When we get back, I'll definitely treat you to a drink."

After hanging up the phone.

Zhong Xiaokai felt that centralized procurement was a good channel.
