They sue me because the medicine is illegal, but if it is legal, they say I can't afford it?

Chapter 333 Getting anxious?

……

"what?"

"A month's medicine costs only 2000?"

"If it's only two thousand, then doesn't that mean it's less than $300?"

After hearing the news, Anna was completely shocked.

She thought of many possibilities, but this one was the only one she hadn't thought of.

I originally thought that Chen Xuan was going to sell a high-priced drug this time, or to position it at 16666 like Novartis.

But she didn't expect that Chen Xuan would directly reduce the price of the medicine to 2000 yuan a month. This is simply an act of turning the table over!

"Yes, that's indeed the case according to the information we gathered."

“Although there has been no official announcement yet, the news is now circulating throughout the industry.”

"However, this doesn't seem to be the ex-factory price of Antai Pharmaceutical Group, but the price of the medicine after it has been covered by Huaxia Medical Insurance."

The secretary next to him immediately explained.

She was also extremely surprised when she received the news.

After consulting her several times, she dared to confirm the news and report it to Anna.

"Huaxia Medical Insurance?"

"I heard that Huaxia Medical Insurance reimburses a large percentage."

"But even if it's only two thousand after medical insurance reimbursement, the cost of the medicine can't be that much higher, right?"

Anna felt a little relieved after hearing about medical insurance.

But even so, she was still shocked. It was really unbelievable.

Because she knew that the factory price of Chen Xuan's lung cancer medicine must not be high, and it was definitely far lower than all other anti-cancer drugs.

As long as the anti-cancer drug is effective, its price will not be so cheap, especially the anti-cancer drug that has just been launched on the market. It is even more unlikely that it will be sold at this price.

"This Chen Xuan, he is doing this now."

"It leaves a difficult problem for all pharmaceutical companies."

"Is he unaware of the industry's unspoken rules, or is he simply fearless and unafraid of any competition?"

Anna couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Both are effective drugs for treating cancer, one for treating liver cancer and the other for treating lung cancer.

However, Novartis' special medicine costs 16666 yuan a month, but at Antai Pharmaceutical Group, it only costs a few thousand yuan a month, and even after reimbursement, it only costs 2000 yuan a month.

The costs of the two have not changed much, except that one was acquired and the other was independently developed.

In comparison, Novartis appears to be very unscrupulous, while Aetna Pharmaceuticals is undoubtedly the most conscientious pharmaceutical company.

Although other pharmaceutical companies will do the same as Novartis, the current strong contrast will definitely push Novartis to the forefront.

Anna knew that Chen Xuan didn't do this on purpose, nor did he deliberately target Novartis.

But this kind of impact is inevitable, and the two sides will definitely be compared by countless people.

If this happens, the impact on Novartis will be very large and may even affect the company's image.

The public doesn't care who is the norm and who is the exception.

Even if all pharmaceutical companies have been doing this all along, as long as Aetna Pharmaceutical Group does not do so, it is enough for everyone to scold Novartis.

That's why Anna felt that Chen Xuan had left a difficult problem for Novartis and also for all pharmaceutical companies in the world, because his approach made all pharmaceutical companies in the world appear to be very unscrupulous, making huge profits by using patients' life-saving money.

Although these pharmaceutical companies do indeed do this, they do make huge profits.

But some things are unspoken rules, everyone can do it, so it is naturally right, and no one will think it is wrong.

But now that Chen Xuan suddenly appears, the situation will be completely different. His goodness will reveal their evil.

And this evil will undoubtedly be seen by everyone, thus arousing everyone's disgust.

Even this aversion will not have much impact on pharmaceutical companies for the time being.

But it will still cause problems over time.

As soon as there is a substitute, they will be discarded immediately.

For example, if Antai Pharmaceutical Group launches similar drugs, even if the efficacy and price are the same, they will choose Antai Pharmaceutical Group without hesitation.

Therefore, the reputation and image of pharmaceutical companies are still very important.

Anna is also troubled by this now.

Chen Xuan's sudden move caught her off guard.

Especially since she had just announced that the cost of the liver cancer drug was 16666 yuan a month, but his lung cancer drug only cost 2000 yuan a month.

The sharp contrast between the two sides instantly put Novartis in an awkward position.

Of course, the impact is actually not too bad, mainly because the two parties' drugs are not on the same track.

Even though they are both anti-cancer drugs, there are still huge differences between them. One is for liver cancer and the other is for lung cancer. There is no competitive relationship between the two.

Therefore, there will definitely be an impact, but the loss will not be too great.

At this moment, Anna was extremely grateful for the drug price agreement she signed with Chen Xuan.

If there was no such agreement, she couldn't imagine how much Chen Xuan would price the liver cancer drug.

How will Novartis cope with the situation then?

Although Chen Xuan only has the Chinese market, people from other countries can also come to China to buy.

Will Novartis really still have a market by then?

"It would be better if it was just the Chinese market."

"Chen Xuan, global market, you must not do this."

"If you really break the unspoken rules that everyone agrees on, you will become a public enemy."

Shaking her head, Anna thought of something again, her expression extremely solemn.

If a lung cancer drug is only sold cheaply in China and a little more expensive in other countries, it will not have much impact.

After all, Antai Pharmaceutical Group is a Chinese enterprise, so it is understandable that it sells its products at a lower price in its own country, and it has also been included in the Chinese medical insurance catalog.

In this case, low prices become reasonable and do not violate industry rules so much.

But if the pricing of lung cancer-specific drugs is much lower than other anti-cancer drugs in the global market, this will disrupt the order of this market.

By then, all pharmaceutical companies will definitely regard Antai Pharmaceutical Group as a common enemy. Even pharmaceutical companies that are not in direct competition will deal with Antai Pharmaceutical Group.

That's why Anna hopes that Chen Xuan will think carefully and not disrupt the global order.

But she could only pray in her heart.

She had no control over what the latter did.
