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

“安娜女士。”

"Now that Novartis has acquired the formula, have they considered pricing?"

"When Mr. Chen sold this drug before, he priced it at 5000 yuan per bottle. I wonder what price Novartis will offer?"

After the signing, a reporter couldn't help but ask a question.

This issue is also of great concern to the whole country and even the whole world.

There are many patients with liver cancer. According to incomplete statistics, there are at least 800 million people suffering from liver cancer worldwide.

If we add some of those who are not registered, this number will probably be close to 1000 million.

So many people now have their eyes on this life-saving medicine.

But at the same time, they are also concerned about the price of this miracle drug, fearing that it may exceed their affordability.

If a bottle of medicine is sold for 5000 yuan like Chen Xuan's, and has a two-month efficacy, most patients can accept it, and this is also the medicine expense they can afford.

Of course, it would be nice if the price were lower, but everyone knows that’s unrealistic.

Now that Novartis has acquired it, everyone is naturally concerned about its pricing.

"Regarding the pricing of this special medicine."

"Our group has not yet decided. This will depend on the costs of input, production, and sales."

"But it's impossible for us to match Mr. Chen's previous pricing. He wasn't selling the drugs to make a profit; he was even selling at a loss."

Anna couldn't help but shake her head at this point. "We all know he's now burdened with massive foreign debt in order to sell drugs to patients. This isn't a normal business model, and it's unsustainable."

"We at Novartis are a commercial company."

"Even though we really want to help more patients, we also need to consider the long-term development of the company. We can't sell it at a loss."

"Taking into account the cost of this drug and the long-term development needs in the future, our specific price has not yet been determined, but it will definitely be higher than Mr. Chen's price."

regarding this problem,

Anna answered decisively.

Although she did not mention the specific price, she has already expressed her attitude that this price will definitely not be cheap.

If the price is the same as Chen Xuan's, or slightly lower, she will say it directly to promote Novartis.

But even though she didn't say the price, the result was already predictable.

"On the surface, they say the costs are higher, but in reality, they just want to raise prices."

"Hey! Dasheng Pharmaceutical Group sells it for 2 yuan a bottle. Novartis won't come up with a drug that's priced sky-high, right?"

"I don't know, but from Anna's tone, I can tell that her price is definitely higher than 5000, or even double that."

"Damn it, it's all the fault of those beasts. If they hadn't reported Chen Xuan, everyone would be able to afford cheap medicine."

"Businessmen are always looking for profit, so of course they can't sell it at a low price. Furthermore, they spent 50 billion to purchase the formula, so it's even more unlikely that they would proactively lower the price."

"That's right, not all businessmen are like Chen Xuan. If Chen Xuan had opened a pharmaceutical company to sell drugs, I don't think he would have gotten even 5000 yuan. It's a pity that it was ruined by a bunch of ungrateful people."

After hearing Anna's response,

People didn't have much aversion to her and Novartis, but they just felt a little uncomfortable.

They all knew that Novartis acquired the formula originally for the purpose of making money.

It is simply impossible to ask businessmen to do charity.

But the people who made them most angry were Xiao Youxue and Wang Hai.

If they had not reported Chen Xuan for selling fake drugs, he would not have sold the formula to Novartis, turning the original life-saving drug into a sky-high priced drug.

Originally, this special medicine was in Chen Xuan's hands, and most patients could afford it.

As a result, those ungrateful people reported him for selling fake medicine for their own selfish reasons.

This forced him to sell the formula to Novartis, and his hope of cheap drugs was gone.

Because of this, the price of medicine will continue to rise in the future.

The hatred of others towards Xiao Youxue and others will become deeper and deeper, and they may even want to enforce justice and beat them to death.

In fact, the whole thing has come to this point.

Chen Xuan is the biggest beneficiary.

He sold the formula for 50 billion yuan, but not many people thought he was wrong.

After all, he didn't want to sell the formula at first, and had been trying his best to save people at a low price, but in the end he was stabbed in the back.

He is doing this now completely because he is forced to do so.

No one could blame him for making this choice.

And for Anna's answer.

Chen Xuan just smiled slightly and didn't react.

As the founder of a special drug for liver cancer, he certainly knows the cost.

In fact, no matter how many reasons Anna gives, it cannot cover up Novartis' decision to maximize profits.

He once developed and produced special medicines by himself. Of course, the production costs would be very high, especially the early research and development, which accounted for almost 90% of the expenses.

But if we produce on a large scale like pharmaceutical companies, the cost can be reduced to a very low level.

If we don’t consider R&D investment, the cost of a bottle of medicine is actually... the packaging is the most expensive part.

Large-scale assembly line production will also reduce costs to the greatest extent.

However, although he understood all this, Chen Xuan could also understand the other party's behavior.

As for pharmaceutical companies, their purpose of existence is to pursue profits, not to do charity.

Especially since Novartis spent 50 billion yuan to acquire the formula, it is even more impossible to expect it to sell a bottle of medicine for a few thousand yuan.

The recipe is sold.

It is their freedom to decide how much they want to sell it for.

Chen Xuan had no reason and no qualifications to interfere with the other party's pricing, nor was it possible for him to interfere in such matters.

In his current opinion, as long as he doesn’t suffer any loss, it doesn’t matter whether others can afford the medicine or not.

What does this have to do with him?

It's none of your business, just hang it up high.

From the moment he was backstabbed, this was his life principle.

He also found that now that he had this mentality, he lived comfortably and peacefully every day.

It would be great to no longer have to worry about other people's affairs.

In fact, there is one thing Chen Xuan didn’t say, that is, Novartis’ pricing is also his pricing!

The foreign market really has nothing to do with him, but the domestic market for liver cancer drugs is still in his hands.

"Mr. Chen!"

"If I remember correctly, you seemed to have said last time that you would treat me to a meal as long as the contract was successfully signed."

"Given your character, I think you wouldn't fail to keep your promise, right?"

At this time, Anna turned her head and looked at Chen Xuan with a smile.

The reason she said this was not because she really wanted to eat this meal.

Just trying to change the subject.

She didn't want to attract too much attention to the pricing issue, as it would have a negative impact on Novartis in China.

However, she also wanted to give the public some psychological preparation, so she revealed the price increase information in advance so that they would be more receptive.
