Chapter 1117 Outrageous Imported Drugs

The Greek medical representative gave the Chinese side a quotation sheet. The sky-high figures on it made Ye Shu exclaim in his heart: "Outrageous!"

It’s really exaggerated!

For example, the specific medicine needed for the clinical treatment of a certain disease is not something that China cannot produce now. In fact, China's scientists and medical experts are quite capable.

But they are unable to produce these special medicines now, and there are many reasons for this.

The influence of the environment makes it impossible for them to concentrate their minds and energy on studying and exploring in their professional fields.

For example, if Zong Hui had not experienced that dark period, she might have also made great contributions to the field of medical research in China.

There are also some technical defects in the equipment. If some drug ingredients are not refined precisely, the efficacy may be greatly reduced.

For example, several of the medicines they need to import now are also produced domestically, but their effectiveness may be less than half of that of imported drugs.

This time, China purchased a total of 23 drugs from Greece, of which 18 had their research and development patents in the hands of Country M.

Greece also paid patent fees to Country M before it could produce and sell these drugs.

As a result, these medicines will naturally be expensive when they reach the hands of ordinary people.

Now that China has to purchase these medicines from Greece, the price will naturally be higher.

Regarding the price, everyone was actually already mentally prepared and knew that they would have to pay a high price for imported drugs.

But there is no way. Although the relationship between China and Country M has been broken, they have not yet formally established diplomatic relations, so there is naturally no such business cooperation.

But there is no way to avoid the need for these special medicines in clinical medicine.

But they never expected that a medicine could be so expensive!

For example, the first medicine on the list is a special medicine for treating myocardial diseases. At the price listed on the list, when it finally reaches the hands of ordinary people, even if the government does not add any profit, it will cost 500 yuan per pill!

What's the price?

To say it’s a sky-high price is a nice thing to say!

Considering the current productivity level of ordinary people in China, the price of 500 yuan per pill is equivalent to a direct death sentence for them!

Because many people can’t even earn 500 yuan a year!

If one medicine costs a family a year or even several years’ income, how can they still live?

Besides, the disease cannot be cured by just one medicine!

So, what’s the point of importing this medicine?

The National Health and Medical Department planned to purchase these special-effect drugs to benefit the people, but with such high prices, where is the benefit?

It makes absolutely no sense!

And the price we initially negotiated wasn’t that high at all!

This time it almost increased tenfold!

Is this a gesture of friendly cooperation?!

Not at all!

Leader Zhao was very angry!

The headache came back all of a sudden!

It was precisely because Leader Zhao had suffered from his old headache that Ye Shu had the opportunity to come over and see such a price.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath. If she remembered correctly, these medicines were imported into China in later times.

But it is not with Greece, but with Country M, and the price is much lower than the current price.

Moreover, the price of medicines has inexplicably doubled. China will have to import a lot of medical equipment this time!

Now that the other party has suddenly made an exorbitant demand, this cooperation... is in danger!

Ye Shu didn't understand the trajectory of history. Was it because China failed to cooperate with Greece due to the failure to reach an agreement on the price, or was it because Leader Zhao used his diplomatic skills to bring down the price?

She saw it all, but didn't say much at the moment. She first gave Leader Zhao acupuncture and physical therapy to relieve his chronic headache.

As Ye Shu continued to insert needles, Leader Zhao finally let out a breath and felt a little relieved.

Comrade Qiu immediately brought over the tea he had prepared for Leader Zhao early that morning and urged him, "Leader, would you please take a break?"

Leader Zhao was originally on a trip while ill, so he really needs to be careful and cautious!

Leader Zhao took the tea, took a sip, and then sighed deeply, "They're asking for too much! This is too much!"

"We want to make up for the lost profits in oil cooperation by making up for the losses in pharmaceutical cooperation!"

No one said anything because this was the truth!

Everyone in the visiting delegation shared the same hatred for the enemy, but they couldn't think of a better solution for a while!

Leader Zhao finished his bowl of tea and put it down, saying, "Tell everyone I'm sick. All external arrangements have been postponed for the time being."

Then he said to the other members of the delegation, "It's getting late. You should all go back and have a good rest for the next two days."

After everyone left, he looked at Comrade Qiu and said, "Go ask Comrade Tian how the search for those things is going."

Comrade Qiu nodded and said, "Okay, leader, please have a good rest. I'll pass on the message."

He understood that Leader Zhao was about to play his final trump card.

Originally, it might not have been necessary, but Greece's greedy face was revealed, and it was too difficult to try to reach China's ideal cooperation price through negotiations!

The visiting group has had a relaxing few days, which is like a vacation.

But Ye Shu and Yaya became even busier. They had to check the leader's physical condition three times a day and prepare and boil medicine according to the leader's physical condition.

Fortunately, the visiting delegation had taken special note of Leader Zhao's physical condition before leaving the country, so they specially approved a batch of Chinese medicinal materials to be taken out of the country.

Leader Zhao is old and in poor health. Compared with Western medicine, which has serious side effects, it is indeed safer for him to take Chinese medicine now.

The Chinese delegation suddenly closed its doors to visitors, and all cooperation was suspended, which made the Greek people feel strange:

"Are you really sick? Or are you pretending?"

"Why do you get sick just talking about medical cooperation? Do they not want to cooperate anymore?"

"It's possible. After all, the price increase for medicine is a bit outrageous... Hahahaha, they might be scared!"

"So they're really not going to discuss medical cooperation anymore, are they? ...Should we lower the price appropriately?"

"Lower? Humph, a 10% reduction at most, no more than that is impossible!"

The price of medicines has increased tenfold. Reducing it by 10% is no different from having no discount at all!

Kundi and the others laughed for a while, then said, "Let the supervisors take some responsibility and take a good look at what they have been doing lately!"

"Report any activities they have immediately!"

Leader Zhao was ill for a long time. On the third day, someone from the intelligence department replied to Kundi: "It's bad. The Chinese delegation is already arranging a special plane to return home!"

"It seems like they really don't plan to continue discussing cooperation with us in the areas of medicine and stone materials!"
