"We will!" Ye Yun was full of confidence, as this was the future development trajectory of Gan Cao Yao!
"The rise of Gan Cao Yao is a market choice, and it will trigger a reform in the pharmaceutical industry!"
"If I didn't know your character, teacher, I would never have believed such a product existed." Wu Xinmin said with a wry smile, shaking his head. "Young friend Ye, may I ask you a question?"
"Please, go ahead!" Ye Yun said decisively.
"A miracle drug like this, and you're pricing it at 800 yuan? If the effect is real, it's worth 8 million yuan, and people will be lining up to break down the doors of Yao Ke Group to buy it!" Wu Xinmin voiced his confusion.
This society never lacks for wealthy individuals, and a product that can guarantee their health is enough to drive everyone mad!
Those rich people, as long as it could save their lives.
Let alone 8 million, they wouldn't even bat an eye at 80 million.
"Director Wu, do you know the cost of the pharmaceutical industry?" Ye Yun asked, not directly answering Wu Xinmin's question.
"Cost?" Wu Xinmin was taken aback, then shook his head. "I'm not sure."
Different fields are like different mountains; how could he possibly know the costs of the pharmaceutical industry?
"In the pharmaceutical industry, the biggest cost is research and development, followed by labor and facilities. In comparison, the cost of materials is negligible, almost ignorable," Ye Yun said earnestly. "For me, a price of 800 yuan already guarantees my profit. Any higher? Then what's the difference between me and companies like Pfizer?"
"Everyone who is sick can be treated, and everyone can have medicine to take – that is what I want!"
Ye Yun never considered himself a good person; for him, his wife and daughter were the most important.
But heaven had given him a second chance at life, and he always believed it was the result of Yao Ke Group's fervent charity work in his previous life.
Good deeds are rewarded.
If that was the case, why not make the miraculous medicine, Gan Cao Yao, affordable for everyone?
"Everyone who is sick can be treated? Everyone can have medicine to take?"
Wu Xinmin murmured to himself, his heart resounding like a great bell.
Having lived half his life, he had seen too many business titans.
Some were outwardly virtuous and constantly spouting grand principles.
Others were cunning and greedy, driven solely by profit.
Frankly speaking, to find an entrepreneur with even a modicum of conscience was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Let alone someone like Ye Yun!
Something like Gan Cao Yao, which would inevitably cause a seismic shift in the pharmaceutical industry, a great and miraculous medicine.
Based on his understanding of human nature, Wu Xinmin believed that any businessman would hoard it.
But Ye Yun?
A young man, who had lived a mediocre life in his past, even considered a scumbag at the bottom of society.
Yet he could resist the temptation of such immense profit and resolutely declare such altruistic words as "everyone who is sick can be treated, and everyone can have medicine to take."
How could this not shock Wu Xinmin?
How could this not make Wu Xinmin admire him?
Wu Xinmin's throat felt dry, and he couldn't help but take a sip of tea.
"Director Wu, there's no need to be surprised. I, Xiao Ye, also have my own selfish motives. The price of 800 yuan is for the Chinese market only. In the future, Gan Cao Yao will definitely be exported, and I'm preliminarily setting the export price at 100,000 US dollars per pill. And this price is for limited sales, with a fixed monthly quota. Once sold out, that's it." Ye Yun added.
*Pfft!*
Even with his astonishment, Wu Xinmin spat out his tea.
800 Chinese yuan per pill domestically?
100,000 US dollars per pill abroad?
Not only was the price more than a hundredfold higher, but you were also employing scarcity marketing?
Are you even... You're playing this brilliantly!
Wu Xinmin couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up in his mind.
He could already envision those wealthy foreigners abroad fighting tooth and nail to get their hands on Gan Cao Yao.
And because of the competition for Gan Cao Yao, Yao Ke Group would reap immense benefits.
Wu Xinmin knew very well that if he could think of this, Ye Yun, who was as monstrous as a demon, would have already foreseen it.
Yet, he was still able to speak so candidly and openly with him.
This must be due to his utmost trust!
Unconsciously, Wu Xinmin felt a stir in his heart.
This young man truly possessed great charm!
This kind of charisma and vision would likely allow him to go very far in the business world!
"With the emergence of something as groundbreaking as Gan Cao Yao, it will likely not only affect the pharmaceutical market, but countless capital tycoons will also have their eyes on it. They won't allow themselves to miss this opportunity, and if they can't get it, they might try to destroy it! Do you... have a plan?" Wu Xinmin asked.
Having reached his position, even if he hadn't personally experienced the cutthroat world of business.
He was certainly aware of the laws of the market.
The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest!
"Director Wu, challenges are inevitable! But if it were just about money, why would I produce Gan Cao Yao myself? Wouldn't it be better to just sell the formula for Gan Cao Yao? Since I'm producing it myself, I have absolute confidence that I can deal with any scheme or trickery!"
"If I didn't have this much confidence, why would I talk about everyone being able to get treatment and medicine? I might as well go home, answer the call, have a second child, and be a househusband." Ye Yun joked.
This statement made Wu Xinmin chuckle.
"No, if a talent like you were to become a househusband, then Jinling would suffer a great loss! Rest assured, for the sake of your words 'everyone who is sick can be treated, and everyone can have medicine to take,' if there's anything I, Wu Xinmin, can do to help, just say the word! As long as you don't break the law, I, Wu Xinmin, will escort you!" Wu Xinmin also made a rare joke.
However, his tone became somewhat somber at the end.
In reality, Wu Xinmin knew very well that protecting the economic market brought about by Gan Cao Yao was akin to a fool's dream with his current capabilities!
Yet, he still said it, driven by the noble righteousness in his heart!
Even though he suspected Ye Yun was trying to curry favor, Ye Yun also understood that Wu Xinmin's sincerity was definitely part of it.
Otherwise, in his previous life, Wu Xinmin wouldn't have had such a bright future.
It was precisely because of the noble righteousness in his chest!
For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
After a brief silence.
"Yao Ke Group... will always remain in Jinling, right?" Wu Xinmin asked tentatively.
The rise of Gan Cao Yao was already a foregone conclusion.
For those in official positions, they must look three steps ahead with every one step they take.
Since Gan Cao Yao was destined to sweep the globe, the underlying Yao Ke Group would undoubtedly become a coveted prize for all major provinces and cities.
Gan Cao Yao, priced at 800 yuan per pill, would bring in at least nearly a hundred billion in sales revenue annually.
And this was just domestically.
If you factored in overseas markets, it would be an astronomical sum!
What kind of contribution would a super company worth hundreds of billions make to the local GDP?
And how many job opportunities would it create locally?
Moreover, Gan Cao Yao was merely one product of Yao Ke Group.
He had already witnessed countless miracles from Ye Yun.
Perhaps... he could create products even more astonishing than Gan Cao Yao.
Looking at Ye Yun, Wu Xinmin suddenly had this thought.
But then he smiled wryly.
How could that be possible!
"Will Yao Ke Group... continue to be in Jinling?"
Ye Yun smiled.
Perhaps, this was the true purpose of his visit today.
However...
Since the sheep had taken the bait, it would be a disservice to his identity as a reborn individual not to gain some benefit!
