Chapter 38 Collapse!
Cooperation?

The first sentence from Mike, executive vice president of AkaRx, surprised Zhang Yang.

He originally expected that the other party would come to his door in person. Although it would not be tense, the atmosphere would not be friendly. He did not expect that they would talk about cooperation right from the start?

"Mr. President, I don't quite understand what you mean. Strictly speaking, we are in a competitive relationship now, so there is no cooperation, right? The person who can really cooperate with you should be the one next to you."

Mike smiled.

"That's right. We couldn't really talk about cooperation before, but after you developed 'Qingshan Avatrombopag', you had the capital to cooperate with us."

As he spoke, he tried even harder to force out a smile:
"Last year, we sold a total of 16 boxes of 'Avatrombopag Tablets' in the Chinese market, with sales reaching 12.6 billion yuan, and this amount will continue to grow in the future."

"Now that we are the only two companies in this huge market, we can coexist peacefully. There is no need to engage in a price war with each other. Don't you agree?"

Zhang Yang was silent and said nothing.

Seeing this, Mike suddenly looked at Zhang Yang, his expression gradually becoming serious:

"Zhang, I won't waste my words. I think your company's price of 1599 yuan this time was probably not your original intention, right?"

This time Zhang Yang was really stunned and a little surprised.

But he quickly reacted and continued to remain silent. He wanted to see what the other party wanted to say.

Mike noticed that Zhang Yang did not refute, and his confidence increased, and he continued:

"I know you have joined the 'Seedling Plan', and I'm sure your pricing has also been affected by the authorities. If you are willing to cooperate with us, we can raise the price together, and you will not be affected in any way."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang was extremely surprised. He looked at Ren Xiaomin without leaving a trace and saw the surprise in Ren Xiaomin's eyes.

At this time, Gao Qiang from Fuxing Pharmaceutical coughed lightly and said:

"Mr. Zhang, you may not know how to circumvent the centralized procurement of drugs. Although you have joined the medical insurance catalog, you only need to do a little bit of manipulation in the production and transportation links, and you can openly say that the production capacity is insufficient."

"By then, even if the hospital purchases drugs, it will not be able to provide them due to insufficient production capacity, and patients can only buy drugs at pharmacies outside..."

"All we need to do is reach a 'price alliance' and we can make a lot more profit from patients!"

"Of course, don't worry, this plan is currently being used by many pharmaceutical companies. Even the Medical Insurance Bureau can't do anything about it, and it won't have any impact on you."

At this point, Vice President Mike took over the conversation.

"Zhang, although you have lost the hospital's sales channel, as long as we fix the price at 6000 yuan per bottle, the huge profit can completely make up for your losses in the hospital."

"Besides, I believe that such a good medicine is only sold for 480 yuan. It's not worth it for you, right?"

The more Zhang Yang listened, the more frightened he became. He had completely understood what the other party meant.

simply put,
They take advantage of loopholes in the rules to find excuses not to supply medicines to hospitals, ultimately forcing patients to buy them only in pharmacies!

Before this, neither he nor Ren Xiaomin had sufficient experience in drug sales, and they had never imagined that this was such a complicated business.

and!

He looked at Gao Qiang. This kind of person was the most hateful. He would do anything for profit and even take the initiative to drag others into trouble and help competitors break industry rules!

Thinking of this, he looked at Gao Qiang deeply, shook his head, and said firmly:
"You may be wrong. The price of Qingshan Avatrombopag Tablets at 1599 yuan was not due to official pressure, but was our own decision!"

"what?!"

Mike and Gao Qiang were stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.

After a moment, Mike said loudly:
"Impossible! If the authorities didn't force you to do so, why did you set the price so low?"

"Don't you know that you can make more money even if you set the price higher?"

Zhang Yang shook his head, obviously no longer interested in talking.

What he wanted to say had actually been said on the day of the press conference. At this moment, Mike suddenly thought of Zhang Yang's speech at the press conference of "Qingshan Avatrombopag Tablets".

There was great surprise in his eyes.

"Could it be that you really set the price so low just to make the medicine affordable for ordinary people, as you said at the press conference?!"

As he spoke, he suddenly laughed, but his eyes were a little gloomy.

"Don't be ridiculous. There is only one disease in this world that cannot be cured, and that is poverty!"

"Since they are sick, it is their fate. In Jesus' words, they are atonement for their sins!"

"And money can alleviate their sins. Even if they die, they will go to heaven in the end!"

Zhang Yang shook his head:
"I don't believe in Jesus. I only believe that I can change many things through my own efforts."

After he finished speaking, Mike became completely anxious, and his eyes became more and more fierce.

"Zhang, if you insist on keeping the price so low, we will do everything we can to keep you company!"

"But I must remind you that we have thoroughly understood the situation of your company. Currently, you only have one drug, Qingshan Avatrombopag Tablets.
Once a price war starts, are you sure you can stick with it?"

Zhang Yang didn't want to talk anymore and just made a gesture to send the guest away!
Seeing this, Mike became even more angry.
He slammed the table and shouted:
"In that case, just wait! I will do everything I can to make you bankrupt!"

Mike's action of slamming the table completely made Zhang Yang furious.

These foreigners first try to bribe, and if bribery doesn’t work, they try to use intimidation, and if intimidation doesn’t work, they just turn against you!

He suddenly snorted coldly and looked straight at Mike:

"I'm telling you, I'm just sitting here talking to you out of pity for you. What qualifications do you have to tell me what to do?"

"Believe it or not, if you slam the table again, I will adjust the price to 999 yuan and kick you out of the Chinese market!"

Mike's eyes widened, unable to believe Zhang Yang's sudden outburst.

But looking at the table in front of him, he was so angry that he really didn't dare to take any more shots!

"You wait!"

Mike said something harsh and left in disgrace with Gao Qiang.

Ren Xiaomin sat there in shock. He had never thought that today's meeting would turn out like this.

Zhang Yang’s final counterattack made him feel proud, but after the excitement, Mike’s threat also made him feel a little worried.

indeed,

What Mike said is true. Currently, Tsingshan Pharmaceutical only has one product, "Qingshan Avatrombopag Tablets". If a price war really breaks out, it will definitely be a big trouble for Tsingshan Pharmaceutical, which is just in its infancy!

wrong!

At present, the company does not only have one drug, but also another drug in Phase II clinical trials. However, that "ITG human genotype" is only an auxiliary drug and has no competitiveness at all...

Ren Xiaomin looked at Zhang Yang with worry in his eyes.
