NOVEL WEB Chapter 15: Throwing dirty water
At this moment, a lean-looking man was sitting on a leather sofa on the flat floor of a luxury community. He was staring at his mobile phone with a serious look on his face, and his fingers were tapping quickly on the screen.
The man's name is Qian Bin. He is a domestic pharmaceutical distributor specializing in the distribution of Gleevec. He is also the group leader of this patient group. His original purpose of establishing this group was to make it easier for him to buy medicine.
Just this morning, Qian Bin was woken up by a phone call while still sleeping. It was a call from another dealer.
The other party muttered a lot on the other end of the phone, but Qian Bin only heard one sentence.
A new drug has appeared on the market to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia. It competes with Gleevec and the price is only 500 a bottle.
At that moment, Qian Bin's head felt as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, and his head was buzzing.
As a pharmaceutical distributor who relies on Gleevec to make huge profit margins, Qian Bin naturally knows what this means.
This means that once this drug called Beishuke is promoted, all patients will rush to buy Beshoke, and no one will buy the Gleevec in their hands.
How can Gleevec make money if no one buys it?
If he can't make money from these sick people, how can he change his car, house, or wife this year!
The most important thing is that he just got a batch of Gleevec from Novartis not long ago, and he still has tens of millions in payment that he has not yet had time to pay off.
If he loses this batch of medicine, he will really sell it to pay for the goods!
Just thinking of this made Qian Bin break into a cold sweat. He quickly opened WeChat to check.
Sure enough, as soon as he opened the WeChat group, he saw Lao Jiang discussing Bai Shuke's affairs in the group.
In order to stop Lao Jiang from continuing to discuss this matter in the group, Qian Bin immediately switched his trumpet account.
Qian Bin knew very well that as a pharmaceutical dealer, it was sometimes difficult to talk to him, so he created a small account like He Fang Shu Lai just in case.
But he never expected that this trumpet would come in handy so quickly.
Therefore, no matter what the reason is, Qian Bin is absolutely unwilling to go to this group of people to buy a bottle of Bai Shuke for 500 yuan.
Qian Bin continued to speak in the group pretending to be a patient.
No one really thinks that those pharmaceutical companies will be philanthropists. They only make medicines to save people and not make money. How can there be such good people in this world? Anyway, I suspect that there are big problems with this medicine.
After seeing He Fang's speech, Lao Jiang was a little anxious for a while. He continued to explain: I asked carefully, and the girl at the pharmacy said that this medicine is really for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Moreover, the fact that this drug can appear in pharmacies means that it has passed the test and there should be no major problems.
After Lao Jiang said this, other patients in the group also agreed.
After all, few of the patients in the group can afford the price of Gleevec. That 500 yuan bottle of Bai Shuk is almost a life-saving straw for them when they are drowning, making them subconsciously think desperately. To catch.
Qian Bin frowned. He wanted to get on the big team directly and kick this guy named Lao Jiang out of the group. If it weren't for this guy, he would still be sleeping peacefully in bed.
But it's a pity that he can't do this, because once he does, someone in the group will think that the bottle of Bai Shuke is really effective.
Qian Bin continued to speak in the group: You know nothing. A friend of mine told me that these days, as long as you spend some money to establish a relationship, the drug will be on the market for you in minutes. How rigorous do you think it is?
The classic saying of making friends out of thin air.
This paragraph was naturally made up by Qian Bin. He had no friends in the Food and Drug Administration.
At the same time, Qian Bin also knew very well in his heart that before a drug could be put on the market, it needed to undergo rigorous testing many times. It was by no means as simple and easy as he said.
But Qian Bin didn't care so much. Anyway, these idiots in the group didn't understand these things, so he should scare these people first.
It has to be said that Qian Bin's words really worked. As soon as the friend appeared out of nowhere, the patients in the group began to beat their hearts.
Probably... not so much. Someone spoke.
Qian Bin sneered.
No one cared how many bowls of noodles Lao Liu had eaten, they just wanted to cut open Lao Liu's belly.
The same is true for Qian Bin now. Whether this medicine can cure chronic myelogenous leukemia is not important to him at all. He just wants this medicine to kill him quickly.
A medicine costing 500 yuan a bottle can cure chronic myelogenous leukemia. Do you believe this?
As soon as these words came out, everyone began to feel shaken in their hearts.
Qian Bin, on the other hand, struck while the iron was hot and continued to speak in the group.
If you ask me, there must be something wrong with this medicine, otherwise why would it be sold so cheaply? The manufacturer must be trying to make a quick buck and then run away. When there is a problem with the medicine, who will be responsible!
No matter what I do, I have to take Gleevec. Even if there is a problem with my diet, a company as big as Novartis will take care of it, so I won't be afraid of problems.
I don't dare to take medicine that costs 500 yuan a bottle. Whoever wants to take it can take it. If something goes wrong, don't say I didn't warn you.
After saying this, the group became completely silent.
Lao Jiang was silent. Looking at the words of the rat in the group, he hesitated for a moment.
Isn't he insisting on it just to be able to spend more time with his daughter? If there is really a problem with this medicine, wouldn't all his persistence for so many years be in vain?
He didn't dare to gamble, he didn't dare to gamble with his daughter's life.
After a moment of silence, Lao Jiang walked into his daughter's room. He picked up the bottle of Bai Shuke placed next to his daughter's bed. After hesitating for a long time, Lao Jiang sighed, and then took the bottle of Bai Shuke Stuffed into the cabinet next to it.
After doing all this, Lao Jiang walked out of the room with a heavy heart.
As for Qian Bin, after seeing that no one in the group was talking, Qian Bin put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his swollen eyebrows, but his heart was still beating uneasily.
500 yuan a bottle, what bastard did this?
Qian Bin cursed angrily and vented his frustration.
But in addition to anger and depression, Qian Bin was more afraid.
He knew very well what the 500-bottle drug meant to those patients. Once Beishuk was really promoted, Gleevec's sales would probably explode on the spot.
By then, given the grievances those patients have accumulated against Gleevec for many years, even if Gleevec lowers the price to 400 or even lower, probably no one will buy it.
It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible to have such a cheap medicine. There must be something wrong with this medicine, yes, there must be something wrong with it.
Qian Bin kept talking to himself. He was fidgeting and pacing back and forth, and cold sweat had soaked his back.
He couldn't imagine it, let alone dare to imagine it.
If Gleevec cannot be sold, how should I deal with the huge payment of tens of millions that has not yet been paid off?
Thinking of this, Qian Bin immediately made a decision. It was not enough to just rely on his own strength. He also had to cooperate with other dealers, just like the dealer who called him this morning.
Let more dealers block Bai Shuke's news as much as possible, and not let Bai Shuke's news spread among their own patient groups.
Qian Bin did not dare to neglect. He knew that there was not much time left for him. He quickly picked up his mobile phone from the table and dialed the numbers of other dealers.
