Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!
Chapter 186 I Understand
He introduced himself as Huang, who was in charge of medical insurance, and said, "Mr. He, I am honored to have the opportunity to visit you."
Facing the other party's respectful attitude, He Yuzhu warmly entertained him and explained: "I understand the purpose of your visit.
Maybe there was no problem before, but now, I want to use this opportunity to do something.”
Hearing this, Lao Huang expressed his doubts: "What is your intention?"
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Changjie is the son of his elder brother Changsheng. His elder brother is under sanctions. As a younger brother, can't he take action to fight back?" Old Huang immediately understood when he heard it: "What will happen in China?"
He Yuzhu further elaborated: "So I decided that we will only take action against the sanctioning party, and this drug will not be sold to any foreign country; any country that responds to the sanctions will not be allowed to sell it.
As for the domestic market, I will set a fairly high price.”
Old Huang was slightly surprised. This seemed inconsistent with He Yuzhu's previous practices.
He Yuzhu did not keep anyone in suspense and said directly: "What I said is the final and real price. I look forward to your assistance."
He Yuzhu took out a list, which listed all the names and prices of the medicines. Compared with the high prices of tens of thousands of dollars per tablet in the market, it was simply as cheap as cabbage.
Old Huang was deeply touched, but he knew that this was just the beginning: "So, you mean to set two different prices?"
"Yes, there is also this backup."
He Yuzhu showed him another piece of paper and handed it to him, "Announce to the public that the standard quotation can be used, and the difference in price will be borne by the medical insurance.
In fact, manufacturers do not need to bear this additional cost. "
"I think the next international negotiations will also raise concerns about our drugs."
Old Huang asked tentatively.
“I have no intention of competing for chip market share.”
He Yuzhu responded, “But we will never allow any foreign company to obtain our chips.
However, if domestic manufacturers use it, it needs to be circulated smoothly around the world, and this is the key to my goal.”
He worries that competition may limit their use of top-notch chips, ultimately resulting in domestic manufacturers still not being able to use the best.
Therefore, we cannot just block the outside, we must also keep the inside open: "These are life-saving drugs. Whether others believe it or not, they will eventually be verified and the news cannot be blocked."
He poured tea for Lao Huang and continued, "How can you keep your mouth shut when you take this kind of life-threatening medicine?"
"Don't they themselves die of illness?"
“Don’t those big investors feel bad?”
Old Huang nodded in agreement: “I understand.
I have to go back and discuss this with everyone.”
"Of course, it concerns the image of the country."
He Yuzhu did not urge an immediate statement, but made it clear, "I am firm in my attitude, and the He family must take action."
After hearing this, Lao Huang took a few sips of tea, said goodbye, and hurried back to the unit to report on his work.
This major event would obviously attract the attention of senior management, and at the meeting, most representatives expressed their support.
In the past, due to various factors, the country was unable to do anything in many cases, such as the sanctions imposed on Ho Technology.
Now that the He family has taken the initiative to confront and proposed strong measures, we should naturally give them full support!
Logically, the state has no direct authority to intervene in drug pricing.
But since they choose to sell it at a lower price, it is a conscientious move.
Looking at those high-priced imported medicines, the contrast is even more shocking.
However, some people have raised objections, believing that it is inappropriate to let medical insurance take the blame.
But most people think this is not a critical issue.
After all, this batch of drugs is of great significance. If the public can buy them at a low price, how will the domestic medical conditions be improved? Wouldn’t the existing huge medical burden be greatly alleviated? The treatment and health care of the three high diseases have brought significant changes, and now it has gone a step further...
You know, the high cost of illness can easily trap a family into poverty!
It is not uncommon for a family to fall back into poverty due to illness of a family member. Chinese people have the habit of saving money to hedge against a certain degree of risk.
But in the face of the huge expenses of serious illness, this resistance is almost fragile.
Therefore, the He family’s medicines must not only be sold, but also not be priced too high, taking into account the reality of the lives of countless people who have become impoverished due to illness.
Finally, the senior leadership made the ruling: “We must stand in support of the Ho family.
We will respond positively, both for them and for the people.”
“But we also need to protect the country’s image and transfer part of the medical insurance burden to the Ho Group’s charitable aid.”
When everyone heard this, they thought it was a brilliant idea as it not only preserved the country's reputation but also kept drug prices high. Everyone understood that this high price was actually a strategy for foreign drug prices.
In order to maintain internal and external consistency, Mr. He came up with this strategy. After all, the He family cannot try to gild themselves!
However, suggestions made by the government are more easily accepted. For example, for a medicine worth 10,000 yuan, ordinary people only need to pay a few thousand yuan out of their own pocket, and the rest will be reimbursed by medical insurance.
In fact, medical insurance institutions do not need to pay this money. This part can be regarded as a donation from the He family, and the He family voluntarily gave up collecting it.
He Yuzhu did not lower the price of the drug to a rock-bottom price. After all, this is a special medicine for treating terminal illnesses, not just cancer.
Too low a price will cause people to not value the product and give rise to the phenomenon of purchasing on behalf of others.
Once the solution was decided, both sides immediately engaged in intense negotiations, which were broadcast live.
It was through this live broadcast method that He Changjie and his girlfriend negotiated with the medical insurance representatives.
Although the negotiations went smoothly, due to the large number of drugs involved, they had to be dealt with one by one, which in itself caused great concern because the drugs involved were for the treatment of terminal illnesses.
The proposal for this live broadcast came from He Yuzhu, who wanted the whole world to know the news in order to maximize public opinion propaganda.
In fact, pharmaceutical companies have been stockpiling various types of medicines from the very beginning and have accumulated a large amount of inventory so that they can be quickly supplied across the country when they are officially launched on the market.
The live broadcast attracted a lot of attention from the audience. After all, these are life-saving drugs, and even if the family is temporarily healthy, they will pay close attention.
Everyone worries that they will suffer from a terminal illness in their lifetime, but now a miracle drug has appeared.
As the possibility of a cure became less of a fantasy, the panic subsided.
However, every time the price of a drug is announced, the public's heart tightens because the price is so shocking.
However, the fact that prices have been significantly discounted after being included in the medical insurance system has given people some comfort.
In the initial stage, He Changjie was not in a hurry to propose donating most of the money, so as not to make it public too early and not seem shocking enough. Therefore, it was still in the formal negotiation stage. He would use R&D investment as an excuse, and the price did not drop much.
Medicines are always included in medical insurance at high prices.
Every time they heard the name of a medicine and its efficacy, the audience in front of the live broadcast felt uneasy and anxious.
Until all the drugs were agreed upon, people were finally amazed and almost questioned whether a pharmaceutical company could solve most terminal diseases? Unbelievable, right?
The reason why I say “most”
, because when He Yuzhu purchased the technology and information, he was limited to known diseases; he did not have the corresponding knowledge for extremely rare diseases.
When people's shock gradually subsided, He Changjie had already signed a contract with the medical insurance department.
As the two sides shook hands, he made a surprising announcement: most of the drug prices would be donated and exempt from medical insurance reimbursement.
This news was like a giant bomb, shocking the entire nation and leaving the audience speechless. That was an astronomical amount of money!
The Internet was immediately flooded with negative comments, saying that the donation did not come from the He family's pocket, but was rejected by the other party, and they did not seem to have suffered any loss.
But this gloomy argument was quickly drowned out by the ocean of public anger.
Many families whose relatives are terminally ill have stepped forward to fight back because, through their experience of buying expensive drugs, they understand how high the costs are.
Some people even made a detailed comparison between the prices of He Pharmaceutical's drugs and similar products overseas, in order to more clearly understand how much real money the He family has donated to these terminally ill patients.
This comparison document spread rapidly, and at the same time, the pharmaceutical company had distributed the drugs across the country and directly entered major hospitals.
They are not available in hospitals, only public hospitals have them, and these drugs are prescription drugs, and each box is strictly managed.
"Grandpa, can the plan be implemented?" He Changjie came to He Yuzhu and asked about the progress of the action plan.
"No problem. The drugs are now available nationwide. I believe that people in the international community who are aware of the situation should have understood the situation." He Yuzhu nodded slightly to show his approval. "You can go and handle it."
"Okay." He Changjie was full of excitement. After all, it was his brother He Changsheng's difficult time. As a younger brother who was sanctioned by He's Technology Co., Ltd., he naturally had to help him.
After leaving in a hurry, He Changjie quickly held a press conference, but did not invite anyone.
He personally announced that an embargo would be imposed on countries that responded to the sanctions, and all of its medicines would not be provided to those places.
He said he did this just to help his brother. People then remembered the sanctions on the He family technology company. The fact that this pharmaceutical manufacturer had so many special medicines was undoubtedly a clever counterattack.
Although the international media was not invited, the news spread like wildfire and the White House soon got wind of it.
After hearing the news, Lucian first felt it was absurd: How could a company sanction an entire country? Is this a joke?
Then he realized this was no joke.
Because there is truth behind it, and the ability to deliver it – these drugs are life-threatening necessities, and in significant quantities.
How many people have died helplessly in the face of cancer? And how much of it is their share?
To take just one example, the person who is now struggling on the brink of death is Apple founder, Steve Jobs.
Due to his serious illness, he has been paying attention to global treatment news. He learned the news faster than the White House and brought his family directly to my country for treatment.
