This is somehow arrogant and foul way to say “We don’t care!”
The reason why Charlie chose this sentence to simply and brutally show attitude to Smith: In front of the JX Renewing pill, you still want to talk about your rules?
You! Also! deserve!
When Smith heard these words, he immediately understood Charlie’s attitude completely.
JX Renewing pill here, although it is a life-saving miracle medicine, but placed in front of the rules no one is above the law, yet, he seems to have the upper hand here.
Plus it is scarce production, then it is, even more, everyone begging for it.
In this case, everything is purely a seller’s market, the seller is the father.
So, he could only say with an apologetic face: “Sorry Mr. Wade, just now I was improperly worded ……”
After saying that, and hurried to indicate the attitude: “You do not worry, we are willing to pay you for the drug, just we don’t know the pricing?”
Charlie laughed: “Since you are the head of the FDA, then you should know that the development cost of many special drugs is very high, so its price is also very expensive ……”
Speaking of this, Charlie deliberately digressed and laughed: “By the way, I heard that FDA just approved a special effect drug some time ago, and it costs more than $2 million for one shot? Is there such a thing?”
“Yes ……” Smith wiped a cold sweat, stammered, and said: “That drug is from Novartis, it is the treatment of pediatric spinal muscular atrophy.”
Charlie nodded and laughed: “Then our super-effective drug that can treat end-stage cancer, the price must not be too low, don’t you think so?”
Smith said: “Mr. Wade, Novartis, the price of that drug, the reason why the price is very expensive, because it can be cured with a single injection”
“…… JX Renewing Pill is, after all, a drug that needs to be taken for a long time, if the price is set too high, I’m afraid that no one can afford… …”
Charlie laughed: “Don’t you be afraid, we certainly can’t sell a box of medicine for more than 2 million dollars, that’s not bullsh!t?”
Smith was slightly relieved.
He was really afraid that Charlie would ask for a lot of money.
At this point he could not help but mutter in his heart: “Really a box for two million dollars, then in addition to the assets of more than billions of dollars of the top tycoons,”
“No one can afford to eat, after all, a box of seven pills, one is $ 300,000, if a patient for a year has to take medicine it reaches to $ 100 million, it would be better to die… …”
Charlie spoke at this time: “I think, for this drug, simply a box for one million dollars, this price is quite appropriate.”
Smith heard this, immediately collapsed, said off the cuff: “a million dollars a box, a year to 52 boxes …… that is to say, a year of treatment costs fifty-two million dollars, this …… this is too expensive ……”
Charlie spread his hands and said, “No way, our research and development costs are very high, the production costs are very high and limited,”
“At the end of the year it may not be more than 100,000 boxes, selling a million a box, the annual sales of only one billion dollars, is it very high?”
“For a western pharmaceutical company a single drug, a year sales can be more than ten billion dollars, so what about it?”
Saying that, Charlie said: “You have to understand, our Eastern traditional medicine, raw materials rely on a variety of natural resources, unlike your chemical pharmaceuticals,”
“As long as the development of a molecular formula can be placed in the production line with the production of plastic cloth, it can go to mass production.”
