Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 281 Ten people selling powder are not as good as one person selling medicine!

In fact, as early as last time, Ximen Lang saw the medicine warehouse in the steel rolling mill’s medical room was almost filled with antibiotics.

Realizing the extent to which antibiotics are prevalent these days, Ximen Lang has already begun to think about how to move the perfect pharmaceutical production line of the future to the world of Sijiu City in order to solve the current problems of difficulty in using medicines and the proliferation of antibiotics.

But later on, it was either that or that, and they were all big things, and everything required Ximen Lang's special attention.

This distracted Ximen Lang's attention, so that he was busy with several important things at hand and forgot about this matter.

Therefore, this matter has been delayed until now, and there has been no progress.

Until this incident happened this time, Ximen Lang suddenly recalled this matter and realized that it must not be delayed any longer, so he finally put this matter on the agenda.

While Xia Yiyi was feeling sorry for the matter and wanted to do something about it, he brought up the matter half-touted as a sympathizer and half-to use moral blackmail.

Then, the result was extraordinary smoothness.

With the tacit cooperation between Ximen Lang and Xia Yiyilang, in just a few words, Ximen Lang brought back the complete set of technical drawings of the pharmaceutical factory and the technical equipment for producing various drugs.

"Of course, because the incident happened suddenly, we had very little time to prepare. Even if this pharmaceutical factory goes into production, it can only produce some common medicines for treating minor illnesses like colds, fevers, headaches, and brain fever."

"But even if it can only treat minor illnesses for now, and serious illnesses and various difficult and complicated diseases cannot be taken care of for various reasons, it should be sufficient for the current situation, right?"

Enough?

"This is more than sufficient, it's absolutely perfect! Because what we're most lacking right now are all kinds of medicines to treat common ailments like colds, fevers, headaches, and brain fever!"

Ximen Lang was a little skeptical that even if the pharmaceutical factory was completed, it could only produce some common medicines and treat some minor illnesses for the time being.

Bai Ling explained.

"Although serious illnesses have a high mortality rate, only a very small number of people are infected. These minor illnesses that seem insignificant to you are the ones that pose the greatest threat to us!"

"This is especially true for the elderly and children, who are relatively weaker physically. They are the hardest hit! Even among healthy adults, there are many who have lost their lives to colds and fevers!"

"So, please don't look down on a pharmaceutical company that can only treat headaches, colds, and fevers. It's really important to us!"

Speaking of this, we must mention antibiotics, which have become so rampant that they cannot be used any more.

"We know that overusing antibiotics is bad. But there's nothing we can do. We don't have the medicine. We can't produce it ourselves! We can't afford to import it. A single paracetamol tablet costs several yuan. We want to import equipment, but they won't sell it. There's nothing we can do...." (In 55, a tablet of paracetamol cost about $0.05 to $0.1. The AI ​​assistant says the USD/RMB exchange rate is 1:2.46, but it's highly likely they won't exchange it with us.)

As he was speaking, Ximen Lang suddenly discovered the blind spot and interrupted him directly.

"Wait! What did you just say?"

“We want to import equipment, but they won’t sell it?”

"No, the previous sentence."

"We can't afford to import paracetamol, which costs several yuan per pill."

"Yes, that's it, that's it!"

I made sure I heard it right. At this time, a paracetamol pill costs several dollars!
It is equivalent to several hundred yuan per piece in later generations!
I quickly asked Lao Luo and Director Wang for confirmation, and they immediately confirmed it. "Yes, this medicine costs exactly this much. Even at this price, it's already the cheapest cold medicine. And they only want US dollars, not our RMB. We don't have that much foreign exchange reserves, so we have no choice but to use antibiotics to fill the gap."

Ximen Lang cursed directly.

"Fuck! Is this paracetamol made of gold or silver? How dare he sell it for so much! Is he trying to rob people?!"

Isn't this just stealing money?
This also applies to later generations, where some seemingly expensive medicines cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.

Even if you add the packaging, at the most the cost would be just a few cents, or even a few cents!
But what if I sell it?
Just look at the original amount.

Selling a box to you for a few hundred is a kind gesture from the master, selling a box to you for a few thousand is completely normal, and selling a box to you for tens of thousands is the most common thing!
Just like the Gleevec in the movie "Dying to Survive" that pushed many people into desperate situations, a box costs 4 yuan, and no bargaining!
Just eat it, I guarantee you’ll finish it without making a sound.

As expected, ten followers can never catch up with one drug seller.

Ximen Lang immediately started to think about it.

"Yeah, we can sell medicine too!"

As he spoke, Ximen Lang took out a large bottle of paracetamol, which was in units of 100.

Putting it on the table with a click, Ximen Lang continued.

"We sell this stuff by the kilogram. You can buy a kilogram for just a few dozen yuan! We also have norfloxacin for diarrhea, ibuprofen for pain relief, and aspirin for preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The prices are so low you won't believe it!"

"And once our pharmaceutical factory is built, we can produce these drugs ourselves at a similarly low cost! If we take them to the international market, we'll make money faster than robbery!"

"And insulin for treating diabetes. Our injections only cost a few dozen yuan, which is equivalent to a few cents here. We can sell you a few hundred dollars a shot. Is this price okay?"

He was so cruel that Bai Ling, Lao Luo and others wanted to hang Ximen Lang on the street lamp and let him see the iron fist of the people!
But think about it, this is the price sold to foreigners, and the money earned is from foreigners.

Bai Ling, who had been influenced by Ximen Lang and had unknowingly become more and more like him, shook her head.

"It's too small, too small-minded. For a disease like this that only the rich can afford, if they don't charge thousands of dollars for a shot, it would be a disservice to their wealth!"

"In fact, the more expensive you sell it, the more reassured they are and the more they flock to it. On the contrary, if you sell it too cheaply, they won't even bother to use it!"

He is just like Ximen Lang, full of evil intentions, which makes Lao Luo and Director Wang really uncomfortable.

But when I think of the cute foreign exchange that is scrambling to get into my pocket,
Soon, Lao Luo and Director Wang, who were completely blinded by money, quickly changed their minds and joined in.

He stood there and shouted.

"Even for this, they still have to thank us!"

Lao Luo and his team were so attracted that they wanted to invest in the construction of the pharmaceutical factory immediately.

Without stopping them, they drove Ximen Lang's iconic U8 to the warehouse in the suburbs immediately.
