Life in Sima Tun began to become uneventful. First, there are various troubleshooting and strict controls by the drug regulatory authorities. Then the distribution agents and pharmaceutical manufacturers had no choice but to cancel their cooperation, which dealt a huge blow to Hongda Pharmaceuticals.
As soon as the announcement from the Food and Drug Administration came out, Sima Tun had to give way, not to mention his younger brothers.
"This dinner is hosted by me, Sima Tun, privately. You must not have any ideas, thinking that Hongda Pharmaceutical cannot continue. In fact, this is not the case. Our Sima family is still a bit thin in the imperial capital. Mu The old man asked the drug supervisor to come over. He thought I had no power to counterattack, but he was wrong." Sima Tun drank all the wine in the glass, and then poured himself another glass.
At this moment, he booked a large private room at the Théoden Hotel. The people who came to the banquet today were all the pharmaceutical manufacturers and distribution agents under his Sima family, and even the leaders of the hospital were present.
"Third Young Master, you can't look at things this way. The Mu family took action, and the Drug Administration did hit us hard. My suggestion is to let everyone avoid the limelight for a while. It's not a betrayal of the Sima family. Third Young Master is a bit too sensitive."
"Haha, Third Young Master is worrying too much. We have been cooperating in Gusu for so long. Why don't we look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face? Your father personally called us and instructed us to listen to your Third Young Master's words in Gusu."
"That's right, if the notice from the Drug Administration hadn't been issued, we wouldn't have just retreated. But after all, this is a matter of personal interests. All our funds are invested in these drugs. Third Young Master, see for yourself. It has been so long, have those goods been sold?" Regardless of these people, they are all partners and loyal friends of the Sima family.
But in fact, if it affects their interests, they will still bite people. They may not bite Sima Tun, but they can turn around and walk away!
In Sima Tun's eyes, these people are not that easy to fool.
"Third Young Master, what these friends said is very reasonable. After all, the Drug Administration is coming fiercely. We can only stay away from the limelight recently. In my opinion, it is better to lower the price first. After all, Woodhouse Pharmaceuticals is booming. Huo, we have to find a way to sell the medicine. We can talk about other things after emptying the warehouse. It is not completely impossible to sanction Woodhouse Pharmaceuticals and the Mu family." The person who spoke was Zhou Yuan, the deputy director of the city doctor. They The hospital and Hongda Pharmaceutical have in-depth cooperation.
Let's put it this way, Hongda Pharmaceutical's medicines are divided into three, six or nine grades. First-class medicine takes effect as soon as you take it. It is powerful and effective quickly.
The effect of second-class drugs is greatly reduced, but it is still effective. As long as you are willing to spend money and take it for a long time, it will still work.
The third-class medicine is a fake medicine that is of no use but does not kill people. It is starch. Among the interest groups of Hongda Pharmaceutical.
The city doctor can eat meat just like Sima Tun, and sell first-class medicine. But after all, the medicine is scarce and the cost is high, so the hospital sells it more expensively, which is understandable.
Major clinics and pharmacies sell second- and third-class drugs. The cost is low, the selling price is high, and the profit is high.
Therefore, when the notice from the Food and Drug Administration came out, these clinics and pharmacies were the first to arrive. Although the city doctors are not afraid because they are all real medicines, so many medicines are too expensive and cannot be sold, which is also a problem.
The common people have gone to Log House Pharmaceutical Company, causing the city doctor to be unable to make ends meet. Who would go to the hospital now if he has a headache or a fever?
Ordinary people will choose traditional Chinese medicine hospitals supported by Wood House Pharmaceuticals or major traditional Chinese medicine clinics in Suzhou City.
You can also enjoy medical insurance coverage and reimbursement. The same treatment as city doctors. But we can cure diseases in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals and pharmacies for a few dollars, so why should we go to a city hospital that costs hundreds of dollars?
Therefore, everyone had no choice but to come to Sima Tun.
"Third Young Master, please forgive me for being too verbose. If you lower the price now, we can still talk. After all, we can do what Woodhouse Pharmaceuticals can do. Real medicine can be effective just as quickly. But in terms of price, we have to think carefully about it." Sima Tun was angry after hearing this.
The speaker was a pharmaceutical manufacturer. His meaning is very clear, you Hongda Pharmaceutical, these pharmacies and clinics downstream will all lower their prices for me.
But we cannot lower the ex-factory price, we must carefully consider it. I'll consider your mother! Sima Tun suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "The problem of Wood House Pharmaceutical is to destroy the market. Don't worry, they will not do this for a long time. As time goes by, not only we, Hongda Pharmaceutical, can't bear it, but also all the people across the country." Neither pharmaceutical manufacturers nor drug companies will tolerate their approach!" Everyone thought about it and nodded in approval.
The market is just that big, and together we maintain drug prices and make money together. As a result, a Tai Chi Pharmaceutical Factory and a Wooden House Pharmaceutical Company suddenly emerged, producing traditional Chinese medicine, and it was still so cheap.
They destroy the market and cut off the financial resources of the entire empire's pharmaceutical industry. This will definitely not last long. Sima Tun could imagine just the resistance standing in front of them. The final winner must be him.
"We are all smart people. You can figure it out with your butts. Will Woodhouse Pharmaceuticals' approach be safe for a long time? Now it's because of Mr. Mu's face, so the drug regulator will take action. But a week later? A month later? What about a year from now?”
"Unless they only work in Gusu City and don't set foot in other places, their enemies will become more and more numerous day by day! Because what they are hindering is not our Sima family, but the vested interests of the national pharmaceutical industry!"
"Here, I hope that everyone will take a long-term view and not give up cooperation with my Sima family just for the sake of small profits." Sima Tun drank another glass of wine: "I won't say more, today in front of you Director Zhou, the leader of the municipal medical department, is here. Let me tell you the truth. If you want to give up, it will be impossible for you to find the Sima family if Woodhouse Pharmaceuticals collapses! We will choose a more stable partner! And what do you think? , Wood House Pharmaceutical can win, you can leave now!" He also showed sincerity.
With the endorsement from the leaders of the city hospital, Zhou Yuan sat silently beside him, and the major pharmaceutical manufacturers began to hesitate.
Sima Tun is right. The ship of Wood House Pharmaceutical will not be able to sail for too long. Their prices are so low, and they also make traditional Chinese medicine!
Sooner or later the entire pharmaceutical industry will unite to strangle them! As for the Sima family, with such a strong foundation, short-term losses cannot make the Sima family suffer, and they will definitely have the last laugh.
I believe that Hongda Pharmaceutical will be suppressed by the Mu family and go bankrupt. It is better to believe that the Mu family and Muwu Pharmaceutical will be disliked and banned by the entire industry!
Who will be the winner then? Everyone looked at each other and made a decision immediately! The pharmaceutical manufacturers, distribution agents, and even representatives from pharmacies and clinics present all raised their glasses.
Zhou Yuan stood up with a smile and said on behalf of everyone: "What Third Young Master said is reasonable. If this is the case, then all of us will still choose to stand behind the Sima family! Let's drink this wine!"
