Chapter 524 mentions the export of pharmaceutical products
"Of the three options we brought, the first two have clearly failed. What do you think of the third option?
Are you dissatisfied with the share of the profits?
Thirty percent is the maximum amount we can offer. As far as we know, even in the past, when private transactions were allowed, the maximum share that could be achieved by investing in pure technology and only taking commissions was 30 percent.", explained Shen.
Staff Officer Liu asked, "If you have your own ideas or specific requirements, just tell us and we can discuss it.
If you want to buy it out, we can discuss it.
But to be honest, our army has limited funds, and we can't come up with a lot of money at once. Perhaps we can adopt an installment payment method, allowing us to pay the money several times over several years."
Zhou Mingxuan said quickly, "You misunderstood. We think the third plan you proposed is very good, and 30% profit is indeed very fair.
We just asked you if you have any other plans, just to see if you have a better idea.
Now that you have no other options, and we have no other opinions, why don’t you take a look at the third option and discuss the final share.”
Shen Liu and the other man looked at each other and said, "Comrade Liu, what do you think about the third option?
If you have any other ideas about the share quota, you can bring them up and we can try to get a higher quota.”
Liu Jingxue said, "There's no need to fight for a higher share. I'm not dissatisfied with this share.
I just provided a few prescriptions and didn't do anything else. There's no need to give me such a high quota. Just give me 10% of the profit."
Shen Liu and the others were shocked. A 10% profit was too low.
Worried that Liu Jingxue didn't understand the situation, Staff Officer Shen quickly explained, "Comrade Liu, this 10% profit is too low.
You may not know that after our pharmaceutical factory is built, the main sales target of this drug is our army, so the price of the drug will not be set too high, and the profit is not much.
You're asking for a 10% profit, which is too low. It's like giving it away for free.
Or maybe we should set it at 20%. "
"No need, just 10%, I don't need that much money, but you can use that money for a lot of good things.
Besides, you still pay me 45 yuan a month.”
Shen Liu and the other man looked at each other and were about to try to persuade them again, but were interrupted by Zhou Mingxuan.
“You two should stop trying to persuade her. When she sent the prescription to Chief Zhang, she was thinking of giving it to you.
Otherwise, he would not have said he would send the prescription to Chief Zhang after he mentioned the prescription.
She never intended to gain any benefit from you with these prescriptions."
"But this 10% profit is too low."
Zhao Junhao said, "If you think she is losing money, then sell more medicine and set the price a little higher."
"We opened this pharmaceutical factory because we wanted to save more soldiers. The funds of each army in Xia Country are limited, so we can't set the price too high. That would hurt our own people.
Besides, we two don’t have the power to set prices.”
Zhao Junhao glanced at Zhou Mingxuan, and after he nodded slightly, he spoke, "When selling to our own people, we definitely can't set the price too high, but when selling to others, the price naturally can't be too cheap."
"When you say other people, do you mean the people of Xia Country?
That won't work either. If you sell the people at a high price, that would be a detriment to the people and people would criticize you for it." Staff Officer Liu shook his head frantically, thinking that this Zhao guy was a little unreliable.
Zhao Junhao waved his hand, "Aren't the people of Xia Country also our own people? So we certainly can't sell them at a high price. But if we sell them to foreigners, the price certainly can't be low. We have to increase it by dozens or even hundreds of times."
"Can we sell this medicine to foreigners?" Staff Officer Liu was a little surprised.
Zhou Mingxuan affirmed, "Why not.
The higher-ups sent you two here, and I think you must have some understanding of the efficacy of the medicine Xiaoxue made. Have you ever seen such a powerful medicine on the market? I'm afraid even those imported medicines from abroad don't have such good effects.
Medicine is life-saving. If those rich people abroad knew that there are such good medicines, do you think they would spend money to buy them from us?
It would be a waste if you don’t make money from foreigners.
Given your positions, I think you two must be aware of how much our country is short of foreign exchange.
With such a good opportunity to earn foreign exchange, do you two want to give it up like this? "
"It doesn't matter if the domestic price is lower and the profit is less, but we can set the price higher for export, so that the profit will be higher.
This way, it’s a win-win situation for both the army and Xiaoxue." Zhou Mingxuan said.
Zhao Junhao said, "You are wrong, it should be a win-win situation.
Xiaoxue got more money, the employees of the pharmaceutical factory got more money, the army got more funding, and the country also gained foreign exchange. "
"I have to add one more thing. Soldiers and civilians who use these medicines also benefit from them and can recover faster."
Shen Liu and the other man whispered a few words, "We have to report the matter of exporting the medicine to our superiors after we return.
However, we think that if the medicine we produce is really that effective, and there is no such good medicine abroad, then the export of the medicine will most likely be successful.
We are a little worried. What if people abroad get this drug, study it, and copy it? "
“Even if we don’t sell it to them at a high price, if they know from various channels that we have this good medicine, they will still find ways to get it and then imitate it.
In that case, it would be better to sell it to them at a high price and make some money.
As for them copying the drugs after getting them, there are patent laws internationally now. Can't you just apply for patents in advance before selling them abroad?
If they imitate us, they will have to pay us a large sum of patent royalties or compensate us." Zhou Mingxuan explained.
Liu Jingxue said, “When I was developing these medicines, I considered the problem of others cracking the prescriptions and copying them.
As long as you don't reveal the entire recipe, and don't let the methods of refining various raw materials and the final synthesis ratio method be mastered by the same person, it will be impossible to tell which raw materials were used simply by relying on the finished product.
To be on the safe side, you can even omit a few raw materials from the drug instructions. When you analyze the finished product, those raw materials will not be distinguishable.
For each prescription, I have written down which raw materials cannot be analyzed into the finished product and which can be omitted from the instructions.
Without these raw materials, it is impossible to make medicine with other ingredients alone. Even if you can make it, it will not have such a good effect. "
Several people were delighted when they heard this, "Then it will be impossible for others to copy these drugs."
Zhou Mingxuan rolled his eyes and offered an idea, "Every year there are many disabled soldiers in our army. Since they have no other relatives at home, they have problems with their future lives and don't know how to arrange for them.
At that time, we can select those among these people who are still able to work and master the refining of several important raw materials of these medicines, as well as the final proportioning and synthesis work.
After all, the loyalty and confidentiality of our soldiers are beyond doubt.
In this way, even if the refining methods of other raw materials are leaked, it won’t have much impact.”
Staff Officer Shen nodded. "That's a good idea. When we get back, we'll report everything you just said."
Staff Officer Liu on the side excitedly clapped his hands together, "In my opinion, this will succeed in nine out of ten cases.
If this is accomplished, we will have more military funds in the future and won’t have to tighten our belts anymore.”
