On Monday, a piece of news hit the top of every major platform.
"Negotiations on medical insurance for Sanqing anti-cancer drugs will begin today. Please click on the link to enter the live broadcast room to watch."
Countless netizens rushed into the live broadcast room instantly.
The comments section was filled with rave reviews.
"It's finally here. Our patients have been waiting so hard."
"I wonder if we can solve the problem of expensive anti-cancer drugs?"
"I hope that the medical insurance bargaining will be more aggressive, and I will chop it hard with a dragon-slaying machete."
"Many targeted drugs are produced by foreign companies. Their prices are sky-high. They are not even covered by medical insurance. They are simply unaffordable. Taking them will only extend your survival by a few years, so it is completely useless."
"Yes, many cancer patients despise the treatment and would rather give up their lives without treatment because they don't want to drag down their families."
"Sanqing's anti-cancer drugs are very effective. They can cure the disease, but they can't bankrupt us."
"Mr. Wei said he would try his best to make the medicine affordable for patients. I hope he keeps his word."
“Looking forward to it…”
****
Kunming, Sanqing Pharmaceutical headquarters building.
This has become a negotiation site for centralized medical insurance procurement.
The parking lot was full of cars, and even the streets outside the gate were crowded with cars.
It was still a familiar hall, carefully decorated, with a row of conference tables in the center and chairs surrounding it.
Countless media entered the hall with cameras and broadcast live.
This live broadcast has attracted unprecedented attention.
After all, Sanqing anti-cancer drug has gained a reputation as the first drug to treat cancer, and its price affects the hearts of 1.4 billion people.
If it can become the first anti-cancer drug to enter medical insurance, it will definitely benefit patients across the country, set a model for other pharmaceutical companies, and drive down the prices of other drugs.
This is a major event affecting the entire medical industry.
In recent years, major pharmaceutical companies have been asking for sky-high prices. Drugs that are not covered by medical insurance are very expensive, and drugs that are covered by medical insurance are even more expensive. Not only do they make a lot of money from the medical insurance fund, but they also make medical treatment more and more expensive for ordinary people. In the end , it enriches pharmaceutical companies, but it is medical insurance and the public that lose.
There is even a strange phenomenon that even though the medical insurance fund contributes a lot, ordinary people still go bankrupt for medical treatment.
Anti-cancer drugs, in particular, are one of the biggest culprits that cause patients to go bankrupt.
Everyone is paying attention to today's live broadcast to see if Sanqing, which has the anti-cancer miracle drug in hand, can take this groundbreaking step and solve this expensive chaos of medical treatment.
Weikang said before that Sanqing is willing to lower the price, which will not only benefit the majority of patients, but also serve as a deterrent and guidance to other pharmaceutical companies.
It’s just that everyone doesn’t know how much the Sanqing can be reduced.
From the patient's perspective, the lower the level, the better.
But Sanqing is not doing charity. It needs to recoup its initial investment and continue to develop new drugs.
Whether the two parties can reach a consensus and maintain a delicate balance is the purpose of price negotiation.
Wei Kang appeared at the door of the building early, waiting for the arrival of the medical insurance team.
He suddenly received news that Academician Qi would also arrive with the medical insurance negotiation team.
This surprised and delighted him. Being able to meet such an academician and gain his friendship was of great benefit to Sanqing.
At half past eight, a black car drove into the parking lot.
Wei Kang saw a trembling figure getting out of the car, and he quickly walked over to greet him warmly.
"Academician Qi, I am Wei Kang. Thank you very much for coming. It really makes Sanqing Pengpi shine."
Academician Qi's hair is pale, but he is very energetic. He is holding a shiny black crutch in his hand and his voice is loud and powerful.
"Haha, you are Wei Kang. You are indeed young and promising, and you have a successor in the Chinese medical industry. Seeing you reminds me of when I was young, and I am really happy."
Academician Qi walked toward the hall surrounded by everyone. He walked slowly but steadily, introducing the people around him as he walked.
"I am here to solemnly thank you. I have personally experienced your anti-cancer drug and it is very effective. Such a good drug should be available to all patients, so I have been pushing for it to be launched."
"I also heard what you said before. I appreciate that you can consider it from the patient's perspective and are willing to join the medical insurance. So you don't have to worry about this medical insurance negotiation. I will support all your decisions. "
"This is Chen Linghui, the leader of the medical insurance negotiation team. He is in charge of the entire negotiation process. Old Chen is a capable man, but you don't have to be afraid. With me here, he doesn't dare to cut too hard. Haha." As he spoke, Academician Qi laughed heartily.
A middle-aged man in a black suit next to him showed a hint of helplessness on his face. He secretly cursed in his heart. He originally wanted to slash the price to set a benchmark for other pharmaceutical companies, but Academician Qi said this, Good guy, this dragon-slaying knife can't cut anymore.
He complained in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Academician Qi is so funny, haha, Mr. Wei is young and promising. I have met many CEOs of pharmaceutical companies. I have never seen such a young and handsome young entrepreneur. He is very caring and speaks loudly. I believe he will not disappoint us during the negotiations."
Chen Linghui is also considered a veteran, and his words during the scene were spotless. He not only praised Wei Kang, but also made his determination clear.
Wei Kang smiled and said nothing, but was grateful and moved by Academician Qi.
The three of them quickly entered the hall and sat down on both sides of the conference table.
Wei Kang and Chen Linghui sat opposite each other, surrounded by their team members.
Academician Qi smiled broadly and sat directly next to Wei Kang.
This explicit support immediately caused a commotion in the surrounding media.
"Wow, big news, Academician Qi is here too."
The host said with excitement on his face.
"Let's see if the negotiation team can withstand the pressure and cut the price. It's really exciting."
"Team Leader Chen has very deep qualifications and very strong bargaining skills. In previous negotiations with major pharmaceutical companies, he was so aggressive that he made the medical representatives cry. This collision with the President of the People's Republic of China will definitely be exciting! "
The barrage in the live broadcast room was rolling in waves, and netizens seemed to be watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
"This Team Leader Chen looks very imposing, with a shrewd and powerful aura. He looks like a veteran at first glance."
"Sure enough, there are no simple people who can sit in a position like team leader."
"Mr. Wei is too young. I feel like he is no match for a treacherous old man like Team Leader Chen."
"Yes, ability is generally inversely proportional to appearance. For someone as handsome as Mr. Wei, he is still a bit young. He is also devoted to scientific research and cannot deal with an old man in the officialdom."
"Where's the crooked ass upstairs? Isn't it a good thing that Team Leader Chen is so powerful? Only in this way can the price be reduced."
"That's right, I have a cancer patient in my family, and I'm on the side of the negotiation team. But Mr. Wei is so handsome, so don't cut the price too hard. Just cut it to my psychological level."
"The butt upstairs is not much better. The bottom line is to follow the facial features."
"Jimeis, I also support Mr. Wei, we can't let such a handsome Mr. Wei lose money."
"Mr. Wei is sitting with a serious look on his face. He is so handsome. He must be a domineering president in reality."
"Oh my god, Mr. Wei wears a suit and looks like a beast. He is so handsome that I can't close my legs."
"I want to lick the screen, don't let any of you stop me."
"Mr. Wei is so domineering, I am so down to my knees."
"I wonder if Mr. Wei is short of a girlfriend."
"Don't restrict gender, I can be a boyfriend too."
When netizens saw Wei Kang sitting upright and focused, they instantly changed their stance.
But the photographer was also very sensible and gave Wei Kang many close-ups.
His thick eyebrows, big eyes, angular facial features, and a well-fitting suit made him look majestic and heroic. Among a group of middle-aged men, he was like a bright star, sparkling and eye-catching.
As a result, the entire barrage style suddenly became distorted to some indescribable place.
