“This isn’t enough,”Zhao Wen said.
“You’re from Huaxia too. You know how many people there are in Zhonghai. You know how many people there are in Huaxia as well. Lin Yi’s offer will be enough for you to bag some profit. It’ll still be profitable for you to enter the Huaxian market,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“But no pharmaceutical company would do such a thing.”
“Then prepare to cut off the Huaxian market.” Liang Ruoxu said.
Liang Ruoxu didn’t know what the cost of ibuprofen was.
!!
However, she believed that Lin Yi wouldn’t just shoot his mouth off without having any evidence. The cost of six yuan might not be accurate, but the true value would definitely be lower their previously offered.
No matter what the actual cost was, the price of 289 was unacceptable.
“Mayor Liang, I hope we can set up a time to talk about this in the future,” Zhao Wen said.
“Let’s do it in three days then.”
Zhao Wen wouldn’t give up on Huaxia, and Liang Ruoxu needed some time to think about this too.
It was the perfect decision to talk about it in three days, as it would give everyone enough time to rest.
Lin Yi stretched lazily and left with Liang Ruoxu.
Everyone was filled with hatred as they watched Lin Yi leave!
Liang Ruoxu let out a sigh of relief as they returned to the Audi.
“Is the cost price of six yuan accurate?”
“It’s about there. Even if there are any fluctuations, it wouldn’t be by more than thirty cents.”
“How do you know that? This should be considered an industry secret.”
“Medicine is a lucrative business. The cost of a box of medicine is only a few cents. To put it bluntly, the cost of packaging and transportation are both more expensive than the medicine itself. Adding to that Meiguon’s1 low morals, and the price of six dollars is actually being a little generous.”
Lin Yi’s estimation wasn’t just based on this reason.
It was also because of the complex knowledge in his mind.
Thus, his hypothesis was reasonable.
“If you don’t believe me, it’s not hard to find a reliable pharmaceutical company to investigate yourself. Medicine itself is a lucrative business, and many people recognize this” Lin Yi said.
“But this kind of medicine is different. If we follow a price of 289, it will cost 1156 a month to take the medicine. Who the h.e.l.l can afford it? Who the h.e.l.l thinks that all Huaxian people are as handsome and rich as me?”
Huh?
Liang Ruoxu was just about to compliment Lin Yi because the first half of the sentence sounded quite pleasing to the ears.
However, the second half of the sentence was different.
“Moreover, our country has a clear rule that the profits for the medicine can not exceed 15%. I’m offering them a price of 9.90 yuan, which is being more than generous.” Lin Yi said.
“How dare these people who look like dogs still try to act cool in front of me? Just looking at them makes me angry.”
“Are you only saying that because they’re ugly?”
“Well, you can be ugly, but you can’t act tough as well.”
Liang Ruoxu couldn’t do anything about Lin Yi’s mindset, so she changed the topic.
“Then what do you think?” Liang Ruoxu said. “What if they still don’t agree in three days?”
“Guess.”
“Look at the urgency of the situation. Why are you still joking?” Liang Ruoxu pouted, and Lin Yi froze.
“Don’t look at me like that. Tell me what you think.”
“I can’t give you an answer right now,” Lin Yi said after a few seconds. “But I can promise you that I’ll solve this problem.”
“Are you sure?” Liang Ruoxu asked. “This is no small matter. We can’t joke around about it.”
“Don’t worry about me,” Lin Yi said. “Just don’t forget what you promised me.”
“I’ll wear a swimsuit for you as long as this works out.”
“You’re really going all out.”
“What is going on in your head?” Liang Ruoxu asked. “I may have a special ident.i.ty, but I’m still a woman. What woman doesn’t have a few swimsuits and skirts?”
“My swimming pool is already thirsty for you.”
Liang Ruoxu was speechless. It was just a swimsuit, what was there to look at?
“Where are you going? I’ll send you there.”
“To the hospital. As an honorable doctor, I want to be with my patients.”
Liang Ruoxu tilted his head. “Am I not as attractive as your patients?”
Lin Yi rubbed his chin and commented,
“If that’s the case, I think you may have a lump around your chest. Come, let’s go to the hotel. Doctor Lin will take a look at you.”
“Thug.” Liang Ruoxu started the car. “Behave yourself. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
They two found a place and had a simple lunch before Lin Yi left for the hospital.
Lin Yi went to the emergency department when he arrived at the hospital. Qiao Xin happened to be there as well.
“Lin Bro, you’re here.”
“Come, I’ll help you write your case files and medical advice today.”
“Hehe, that’s great. I’ll feel more at ease with you here.” Qiao Xin took out two bananas from her pocket.
“Lin Bro, I’ll give you one.”
“You’re bribing me.”
“Hehe, whatever Lin Bro says.”
Lin Yi sat on the chair, eating the bananas as he thought about the negotiations.
The chances of Pfizer lowering the price of ibuprofen to 9.90 were slim.
Although there were other subst.i.tutes, the effects would be much worse.
The only effective solution now was to find a perfect subst.i.tute for the medicine.
At this time, the Pharmacopoeia of Internal Medicine came in handy.
However, actually making the medicine was a problem.
Lin Yi thought about it and decided that he’d have to talk to Ji Qingyan about this.
Kaka!
Just as Lin Yi was thinking about these things, the door was pushed open.
Surprisingly, it was Liang Ruoxu who came in.
“You, why are you still here? Don’t tell me there’s really a lump? Let’s go inside, I’ll check you.”
Qiao Xin had already learned of Liang Ruoxu’s ident.i.ty during the surgery yesterday.
But at that time, she only dared to look at this woman with a strong aura from afar.
Now that she was facing her face to face, she was a little nervous.
“What lump? Don’t spout nonsense.”
If there was no one around, she wouldn’t have said anything. But with an outsider here, Liang Ruoxu felt a little embarra.s.sed.
“Then what’s the matter?” Lin Yi asked.
“Mr. Yang’s condition has improved. Brother Gao called me just now and said that Mr. Yang wants to see you.”
“See me? You’re not going to give me a reward, are you?” Lin Yi said. “This is good news. Let’s go.”
“You’re overthinking things. Even if there was a reward, I’d just give it to you myself,” Liang Ruoxu said. “It might just be a casual chat. After all, you saved his life.”
“Then let’s go. Both of you are officials. We, the plain-clothed civilians, can only listen to your orders.”
“If you’re a plain-clothed civilians, others will have no point living anymore.” Liang Ruoxu smiled and said, “Follow me. Old Mr. Yang is waiting for you.”
Under Liang Ruoxu’s lead, the two of them arrived at the high-care ward on the 18th floor.
On the way, Liang Ruoxu briefed Lin Yi on the other party’s ident.i.ty.
A lot of information about him was kept a secret, though.
That was why Liang Ruoxu didn’t reveal much.
Lin Yi only learned that his name was Yang Guangxia.
There were five other men standing in the ward besides the two nurses. All of them were standing tall and straight, and their expressions were resolute. The atmosphere in the ward became extremely serious.
Lin Yi felt that these people looked familiar. They seemed to have been waiting outside the ward when Yang Guangxia was undergoing surgery.
One of the men’s pupils shrank when he saw Lin Yi, and he turned to look at Yang Guangxia.
Yang Guangxia only smiled.
He didn’t say anything, but the meaningful smile seemed to indicate something.
