Chapter 0025 stalemate
"Can I help you?"
Cheng Yong looked at Lu Qing in surprise.
Although he didn't know how much Lu Qing was worth, judging from his clothes and the place where he was entertaining, Lu Qing was much richer than him anyway. What kind of things would such a person need his help with?
After being in the society for so many years, Cheng Yong is no longer a young boy who jumps in when he sees the benefits. He first asked: "I wonder what Mr. Lu wants my help for?"
Lu Qing did not answer immediately, but asked: "I wonder how much Boss Cheng knows about leukemia?"
"Leukemia... I really don't know much about it. I only know that it seems to be a terminal disease."
Cheng Yong answered cautiously.
"To be precise, before the emergence of the drug glenin to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia, it was a terminal disease. But now, as long as it is discovered in time and only takes drugs, chronic myelogenous leukemia can be cured."
Lu Qing explained.
"Oh, that's a good thing."
Cheng Yong couldn't figure out what Lu Qing was thinking, so he followed the words.
"A good thing is a good thing, but this medicine is a bit expensive..."
Lu Qing stretched out four fingers: "For ordinary patients, they need to take one bottle of Gleninone a month, but one bottle of genuine Gleninone produced by Novavax costs nearly 40,000 yuan!"
"Medical expenses of 40,000 yuan a month?"
Cheng Yong secretly sighed: "That's really a bit expensive."
Forty thousand a month is nearly half a million a year. In 2002, unless the family owned a mine, the average family really couldn't afford it.
"Fortunately, in addition to Nova's genuine Glenin, there is also Indian Glenin..."
Lu Qing then told about the Indian Glenin produced by Natdo Company.
Cheng Yong is not a mediocre person.
Listening to Lu Qing's description, and thinking about what Lu Qing said on the plane last time that they wanted to recruit staff to work in India, he immediately understood Lu Qing's intention.
"Mr. Lu, what do you mean, you want me to go to India to work in that pharmaceutical factory that produces Lenin?"
Cheng Yong asked tentatively.
"Haha, yes!"
Lu Qing asked with a smile: "To be honest, after I first got acquainted with Boss Cheng, I asked a headhunting company to investigate your resume and found that Boss Cheng's abilities are in line with my requirements. I don't know what Boss Cheng meant.
how?"
Cheng Yong shook his head and declined: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I may have to disappoint you. I have a sick old father who needs to be taken care of, and an eight-year-old son who I can't live without."
Lu Qing did not answer, but held out three fingers: "Annual salary, three hundred thousand."
hiss--
Cheng Yong took a deep breath, his heart moved endlessly.
You must know that the business of his Prince's Oil Store has not been very good recently, and the nursing home has been urging him to hand over the money for this year, and he is worried that he has no place to make money.
However, he still resisted the thought of leaving his hometown to work in India, a place he was unfamiliar with.
Just when he hesitated, Lu Qing spoke again:
"I will add another 100,000 yuan, and the annual salary will be 400,000 yuan!"
hiss--
Mr. Lu, you are challenging my weakness.
Cheng Yong couldn't hold himself any longer.
"Mr. Lu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I think I really don't have the ability. If I go there and delay your affairs, then I will..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Qing stretched out a finger again: "One price, five hundred thousand!"
"I……"
Cheng Yong's next words were all stuck in his throat. After a long time, he finally said with difficulty: "Mr. Lu, can you give me a few days? I will seriously consider it."
"sure."
Lu Qing smiled and responded: "Come on, Boss Cheng, let's eat. The lobster here still tastes good."
He was not worried that Cheng Yong would refuse, because it was already February 2002. According to the plot of the movie, his father would be found to have a hemangioma next month at the most, and he would not be able to afford the cost of the operation.
After sending Cheng Yong away, Lu Qing received a call from Su Shijie.
"Haha, Lu, this time the matter is done!"
On the phone, Su Shijie's voice was very excited: "Through our lobbying, the government has decided to stop issuing pre-litigation injunctions to us, and we can continue to produce Glenin!"
Hearing this, Lu Qing was naturally very happy, but he knew that Nova Company would never give up so easily, so he told him: "Su Shijie, the other party will definitely make follow-up actions, don't take it lightly."
"Yes, I know. I have become a 'friend' with an official from the Ministry of Health. He will notify me as soon as possible if anything happens in the future."
Su Shijie answered, and then sighed: "But Nova is a large international company after all. If we really want to use all our strength to deal with us, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money..."
"Well, let's take a step and see."
Although Lu Qing has invested in Natdo, the funds for lobbying need to be contributed by all the company's shareholders. If Nova Company intensifies its efforts against Natdo, the other shareholders will not be short of money like Lu Qing, and may have no choice but to compromise.
…
In this way, temporarily relying on Lu Qing's 100 million capital from his previous investment, Natdo and Nova were in a stalemate.
You lobby a certain official today, and I will choose another official tomorrow.
The two sides are yours after singing and I will appear on the stage, and no one can do anything to the other.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Qing also continued to increase the sales of Indian Glenin in China.
From the Magic City of the East to the Urumqi Market of the West;
From Yangcheng in the south to Harbin in the north...
In major provinces and cities across the country, Indian Glenin figures have appeared one after another.
All of a sudden, all patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia in China knew that an Indian drug appeared on the market.
Its medicinal effect is exactly the same as the genuine Glenin, but its price is the same across the country, only 500 yuan!
boom!
This news was like a depth charge, exploding in the ears of all patients!
The price of Glenin is only 500 yuan?
Is the effect of the medicine still the same as the genuine medicine?
God, have you really opened your eyes?
The moment they learned the news, countless patients shouted with surprise in their hearts.
There are also countless patients who were originally planning to give up treatment or even secretly commit suicide, but this news has rekindled their hope of living.
500 a month, we can afford it!
The most intuitive manifestation of this is the rising sales figures of Indian Glenina.
In January, Lu Qing only shipped 20,000 to 30,000 boxes of Glenin, but in March, the shipment volume doubled to nearly 60,000 boxes!
Looking at the numbers that were still rising, the smile on Lu Qing's face became bigger and bigger.
The more Grenin sells, the more leukemia patients he has helped, and the more likely he is to receive good rewards when the final settlement is made.
Time comes to early March,
Lu Qing finally got a reply from Cheng Yong.
"Mr. Lu, I promise you that you can go to India to work."
Cheng Yong's voice was a little low and uneasy: "However, I would like to advance a salary of 300,000 yuan first."
"It doesn't matter!"
Lu Qing knew that he wanted to treat his father's illness, so he readily agreed.
Chapter completed!
