They sue me because the medicine is illegal, but if it is legal, they say I can't afford it?

……

"The best outcome would be that only one out of a hundred survives."

"It can maintain a market value of around 1 billion. Of course, the premise is that they acquire the physique of the European Emperor."

"The most likely outcome is direct bankruptcy and liquidation. There is almost no chance of recovery. We'll be lucky if we leave early."

Facing Alyssa's question, Chen Xuan said without thinking.

He just knew that the stock price of Dasheng Pharmaceutical Group would collapse.

Only then did he find a financial expert to help him short stocks.

If he didn't have this certainty, how could he possibly gamble 40 billion?

"Wow!"

“Only one out of a hundred survives?”

"Is it that great?"

"Then those shareholders will be in big trouble, won't they?"

Alyssa exclaimed, looking at Chen Xuan with eyes full of admiration.

"If I short now, do I still have a chance?"

"If you have too much money and don't know where to spend it, you can go and give it a try."

“Even if you could borrow shares now, no one would take them.”

"And if no one accepts it, what will be the consequences if you take it?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Chen Xuan's tone.

Why is short selling so difficult?

That is to buy shares at a low price before something happens and then sell them at a high price.

This requires an insight that few people possess.

But what if something breaks out and you buy stocks and want to short sell them?

Is that treating others as fools?

"Oh! Okay!" Alyssa nodded, but didn't say much.

She was just asking casually and wasn't very interested to begin with.

Will she be short of money?

“Brother Chen Xuan…” Alyssa was about to say something, but at this moment, Chen Xuan’s phone rang.

It’s Zhang San calling.

"Hey, Brother Xuan, I have news for you."

"Novartis has released news about the pricing of its new drug."

"Guess how much it is?" He kept it a secret, but Chen Xuan ignored him, so Zhang San had to continue talking to himself.

"Holy crap! They've priced a course of treatment at 10 yuan, and that's just a preliminary price. It's very likely to be adjusted later based on distribution channels and exchange rates. To put it bluntly, it's going to go up."

"That's fucking outrageous!"

At the end, Zhang San couldn't help but complain.

When Chen Xuan first sold this medicine, it was 5000 yuan per bottle, and one bottle lasted for two months.

Now, a course of treatment costs 10 yuan.

"A course of treatment?"

"How long is one course of treatment?"

After listening to Zhang San's words, Chen Xuan asked directly.

A course of treatment costs 10 yuan, but this alone cannot really be used to make any judgment.

After all, no one knows how long a course of treatment at Novartis is?

A week, half a month, a month, two months, half a year, a year?

All of these are possible.

Without knowing the specific duration of the treatment, it is impossible to judge whether a course of treatment that costs 10 yuan is expensive or cheap.

"According to them, a course of treatment is about two months."

"That means two months of medicine will cost 10 yuan." Zhang San said with a little excitement.

Didn’t those bitches charge 5000 yuan for two months?

it's good now.

Directly 10 yuan for two months.

Although this is only the overseas price,

But with this reference, can Chen Xuan...

But when he first heard the price, he was also shocked.

Chen Xuan's medicine originally cost 2500 yuan per month.

Regardless of the effectiveness of Dasheng Pharmaceutical Group's special medicine, it only sold for 2 yuan a month, which is nearly ten times the price.

As a result, when it came to Novartis, the price more than doubled from ten times.

5 yuan a month.

And this is just 5 yuan for the medicine, which does not include other expenses.

Compared to the price Chen Xuan paid for the medicine at the beginning, it is 20 times more expensive!

In terms of pricing, they are even more unscrupulous than Dasheng Pharmaceutical Group.

"Brother Xuan, a full 5 yuan a month."

"Such an expensive medicine, I'm afraid not many people can afford it?"

Zhang San couldn't help but sigh.

A course of treatment costing 10 yuan would indeed be prohibitive for many patients' families.

Even a family with a monthly income of 5 yuan cannot afford such drug prices.

Because the medicine costs 50,000, but there are other costs involved.

Faced with such expensive drugs, most middle-class families would probably be unable to afford them or even lose everything.

The most important point is,

This medicine won't work in just one or two days.

Instead, it needs to be taken continuously for a long time, and you need to take medicine almost every month.

If it is early-stage liver cancer, the problem is not serious. A course of treatment costs 10 yuan, so it is not impossible if you grit your teeth.

Or if it is liver cancer in the middle stage, for people with a little assets, they may have a chance of survival even if they give up everything.

But if it is late stage liver cancer, it will take a very long time to cure, at least two to five years.

It takes so long, how much money does it cost?

How many people can afford the treatment?

"Novartis must know that something is wrong with Dasheng Pharmaceutical Group."

"So their special medicine has no competitors."

"And in the absence of competitors, they have complete control over the pricing of new drugs and can set prices without worrying about potential setbacks."

"Pharmaceutical companies care about profits, not charity. They only think about how to make the most profit, and don't consider whether someone can't afford the medicine." Chen Xuan's flat voice sounded.

Although he was a little surprised by Novartis's pricing, he had roughly guessed it.

Hearing this, Zhang San couldn't help but remain silent!

He knew that this was indeed the truth.

Pharmaceutical companies, also commercial companies, naturally will not do charity.

This is no different from other capital companies. At most, the industry is more special and the standards are higher.

But this does not mean that pharmaceutical companies will be sympathized by other capitals. They are still profit-centric.

If Dasheng Pharmaceutical Group's special medicine can be successful, Novartis will naturally not disclose such an outrageous price.

But the failure of Dasheng Pharmaceutical Group has doomed Novartis to a high profile!

Although the contract signed by Novartis does not include the Chinese market, once Dasheng Pharmaceutical's drugs are successfully researched, they can also sell them overseas.

Therefore, Dasheng Pharmaceutical Group is now Novartis' number one competitor.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaotian killed himself.

From then on, life-saving drugs became extremely expensive.

This affects not only foreign countries, but also China!

Because when the contract was signed, an extra clause was added to avoid disputes!
