This CCTV talk show shocked the whole country.
The host exposed the rotten things done by the black-hearted traditional Chinese medicine companies, those pharmaceutical companies, guilds, and institutions!
After the good Chinese medicinal materials come out of the medicine garden and into the hands of the people, few people can afford them.
And those farmers who work in medicine gardens only earn a salary of a few hundred yuan or more than a thousand yuan a month!
Such a gap immediately shocked the people across the country!
This matter quickly attracted serious attention from relevant departments!
Someone in the temple watched this program and made a phone call to the Imperial Chinese Medicine Bureau.
Things are getting serious.
…
Jiangnan Province, Provincial Academy.
In the office of the administrative building.
Ding Yiqian, the top leader of the provincial hospital, is holding an emergency meeting.
"Have you all watched the CCTV interviews?"
None of the cadres in the audience said a word, and everyone was silent.
This matter has become a big deal, and the Imperial Chinese Medicine Bureau is paying attention.
The reason was that Jiangnan Pharmacy refused to supply supplies to Tai Chi Pharmacy. At the same time, the Kampo medicines from Wood House Pharmacy were sold for a sky-high price of five hundred yuan!
Obviously, Tai Chi Pharmacy has low-price medicines.
But the medicine works, just don't cooperate with them.
No matter how many people are lined up to talk, it’s useless!
Ding Yiqian snorted: "The eight major medicine shops, they are in charge of all the Chinese medicine shops in the empire, and now, because of a drug price issue, they have made trouble in the Forbidden City!"
His every word is sonorous!
All the cadres in the conference room remained silent.
Jing Tao is also sitting in this conference room. He represents the top leader in Gusu and is sitting not far from Ding Yichun.
"Now I want to ask you all for your opinions on how to handle this matter. The Forbidden City, medicine shops, hospitals, and everyone's eyes are focused on our Jiangnan Province."
However, Ding Yiqian's words did not elicit an answer from anyone.
This matter is so big that no one dares to say anything.
Afraid of saying the wrong thing.
"You can speak up and put forward any opinions you have. There is absolutely no problem with this. Now our task is to solve the problem of high drug prices and difficulty in purchasing drugs!" Ding Yi Di said sternly.
In the crowd, Jing Tao spoke up: "Secretary Ding, the key issue now is to go talk to the medicine store."
Ding Yiqian said helplessly: "If we can talk, can I not send someone to talk?"
"I personally made phone calls to the former special correspondent of the provincial hospital's pharmaceutical department, and they all failed in the drug store. The general counter of the drug store sternly rejected the special correspondent's proposal. Not only did he not cooperate with Taiji Pharmaceutical Factory, he also continued to Join forces with Wood House Pharmaceutical to raise prices. Stock up on goods!”
Jing Tao said: "The way they are doing this will not last long. If Taiji Pharmaceutical Factory shuts down and Wood House Pharmaceutical still has no Kampo medicines, the chain will be broken."
"So, the people at Woodhouse Pharmaceuticals just want to take advantage of this opportunity to make as much money as they can! How can ordinary people afford five hundred yuan of Kampo medicine?" Ding Yiqian lamented.
The drug store refused to cooperate, and even the provincial hospital's special commissioner went to the hospital to no avail.
They are now insisting that they will only negotiate with the leadership of the Imperial Chinese Medicine Bureau. Otherwise, they will not listen to anyone else.
Ding Yi's diagnosis was useless.
The eight major medicine shops were originally guild organizations directly under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The people gathered here are all monopolies in the supply chain of Chinese medicinal materials.
For example, the great elder Yuan Chong has been cultivating medicinal herbs in his family for generations. Ever since his ancestors went to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, there has been no interruption of the process till now!
Even during the war years, their family still made many military exploits!
At the very least, many of the medicines sent to the front lines were provided by Yuan Chong and his family.
Such a family, passed down from generation to generation and accumulated from generation to generation, has long been unable to lose its strength. If you want to attack, where do you start?
They have long monopolized the cultivation industry of Chinese herbal medicines, and they have various medicinal gardens and medicinal villages under their names, continuously supplying them to the entire East China region!
"Even if people from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Bureau come down, they can only negotiate and mediate. They can't just give an order and let people do whatever they want. This is true for the eight major medicine stores."
Jing Tao sighed.
If this were not the case, the empire's good medicine would not be exported abroad by those monopoly companies, making a lot of money, carefully packaged, and then sold back to the country with the cooperation of foreigners!
Properly harvest the empire's assets! And people’s wallets!
These silverfish!
Jing Tao is helpless, but these things are still too far away from him, the top leader of the municipal hospital!
The problem now is how to negotiate with the drug stores and get them to cooperate with Taiji Pharmaceutical Factory to bring down the drug prices.
"If the pharmaceutical company can't make sense...then we have no choice but to convince the pharmaceutical company."
"The boss behind the pharmaceutical factory is a businessman from Longcheng named Xia Ye. He has a lot of assets in Longcheng and is the richest man. If he doesn't make money from selling medicines, he will not open a factory. Such a person will not do it. Losing money business.”
"Yes, we can talk to him and let Taiji Pharmaceutical Company give up the profits and let them cooperate with the pharmaceutical company to continue making medicine!"
"Isn't it selling for 300 per box now? If our provincial hospital comes forward and provides some supportive policies, it is not impossible for the drug price to reach 100 or 200. In this way, we can have an explanation to the higher ups and an explanation to the common people. Got it!"
Listen to the suggestions of these cadres.
Jing Tao fell into deep thought.
I can indeed explain the above.
But I still can’t afford to explain it to the common people!
Isn’t one or two hundred money money?
What the common people want is medicine that costs more than ten or twenty yuan!
The price of hundreds is too high!
The premium is so serious, do you think that lowering it a little will solve the problem?
However, Ding Yicun nodded: "The only thing we can do now is to lower the price first. The market demand is so great now. People need to take medicine. Human life is at stake, so what does money count?"
"Isn't it possible that he won't do business in Gusu in Xia Ye?"
"Yes, Secretary, demand determines the market. Their pharmaceutical factory can't ignore everyone's thoughts. Doesn't it cost money to grow Chinese herbal medicine?"
Cadres spoke out one after another and expressed their views on the matter.
Ding Yichun was lost in thought. He played with the cap of his pen and turned to look at Jing Tao: "Secretary Jing, what do you think?"
Jing Tao was helpless: "If the pharmaceutical company doesn't cooperate, won't the matter be solved? We haven't sent anyone to the pharmaceutical factory to talk to it yet, maybe it can be done."
This was also a helpless move for him.
Although I learned from my daughter that pharmaceutical companies sell cheap medicines and serve the people wholeheartedly.
But in this world, no one will ever really let you serve the people wholeheartedly.
There are always people threatening you to eat meat and drink wine with them!
From the perspective of people in the medicine shop, your Taiji Pharmaceutical Factory has such good Kampo medicines, why are you not willing to use them to make money together?
The demand is so great that the number of people coming to buy medicine every day has become almost astronomical.
Common people's leeks are easy to cut!
