Chapter 505 Everyone's Decision
That night, Liu Jingxue also went to the cowshed. While Mr. Wu was giving a lecture to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, she told Grandpa Zou, her uncle, and her aunt in the outer room about Mr. Zhang's call, and told them everything they had said on the phone.
After hearing Liu Jingxue's story, Zou said, "Your grandfather Zhang is right. It will be good for you in the future to tie you to the army.
Now that your uncle and I are here, we still have to rely on you for care. I can't support you. Your eldest brother is just a small battalion commander and can't scare anyone.
Having a military background can help you fend off many people with ulterior motives."
Liu Weihua also nodded and said, "I agree with this point, but as for compensation, I don't know what to ask for.
The situation is very difficult over there, and I don't think they can produce anything good.
If she gave it away for free, Xiaoxue would really suffer a great loss.
Old commander, what kind of plan do you think the army will come up with?"
"Either you give money or get a reward for meritorious service or get a false name, you can't escape these things.
But Lao Zhang said that if Xiaoxue were to be directly given money to buy out the tickets, he would probably force those people to come up with a better plan, but I don’t know what it is.”
Wang Xiulan suggested, "Why don't we ask Brother Wu and see what he thinks.
After all, this is also a deal, he should be able to come up with a plan that is more beneficial to Xiaoxue."
"Xiu Lan's suggestion is good. Old Wu is used to doing business and should know how to choose the best option for Xiao Xue.
Let’s ask him after they finish their lecture.”
When the three people who were in class finished coming over, Mr. Zou told them everything, "Old Wu, tell me what you think."
Elder Wu did not answer, but looked at Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, "What do you think about this?"
“It goes without saying that we cannot buy it out all at once.
Xiaoxue's medicine is so good, and the prescription is even more expensive. The army certainly can't afford it, and it would be a big loss to buy it out all at once."
Old Wu smiled and said, "You are from the army, too. Why don't you think about saving money for the army?"
Zhao Junhao straightened his chest and said, "Business is business, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, I can't go against my conscience and gain benefits for the army.
Besides, it was Xiaoxue who offered to hand over the recipe for free, but they refused and insisted on compensation.
We can’t go against their wishes and let people laugh at them for exploiting the common people.”
After saying this, Zhao Junhao looked at Old Wu in a flattering manner, "Grandpa Wu must also want to give Xiaoxue more benefits in his heart. I am your apprentice, so I must be of the same mind as you, right?"
Old Wu smiled and pointed at him in the air with his finger, "You are just a little rascal."
He turned to look at Zhou Mingxuan beside him, "Mingxuan, tell me what you think."
"Haozi is right. A one-time buyout is too disadvantageous. Besides, the army really can't afford much money. It's better to give up the immediate benefits and seek long-term benefits."
Mr. Wu nodded. "You have a good idea. Tell me how you plan to do it."
"Didn't Commander Zhang say that he would find a way to find an identity for Xiaoxue and tie her to the army?
Let’s not talk about this anymore. We can also tie Xiaoxue to the future military pharmaceutical factory.
We don't want their compensation, so why not just take a stake in the military pharmaceutical factory?
Just use those prescriptions and technologies to invest in the military pharmaceutical factory and share in the profits." Zhou Mingxuan suggested.
Zhao Junhao nodded his head in agreement, "Xiaoxue's medicine is so good, it will definitely sell like hot cakes in the future.
If the army gives a sum of money and buys out these prescriptions, no matter how well the medicine sells or how much money is made in the future, it will have nothing to do with Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue would be at a great loss.
What's more, the army is in trouble now and can't come up with much money, so we can't ask for too much.
Moreover, once they gave out a sum of money, other places where money needs to be spent would be even more stretched, which is not conducive to the development of the troops.
In this case, we might as well sell it well and not ask them for money, but for a share of the profits later."
Zhou Mingxuan continued what Zhao Junhao said.
“Even if the army sets the drug price very low in the future, there must always be a certain profit margin, otherwise it will be detrimental to the development of the military pharmaceutical factory. We can’t always let the state pay for it.
Although the profit per unit is low, as long as the medicine is good, with so many troops in Xia Country, the sales volume will be amazing. Moreover, if the production volume is increased and the medicine is good, the military pharmaceutical factory will definitely not only supply medicine to the troops, but also to the civilians.
Small profits but quick turnover will bring huge profits.”
Zhao Junhao laughed slyly, "Xiaoxue's medicine is so effective, not only do we not have it here, it is also very rare internationally.
If we sell it to our own people, the price will definitely be cheap, but if we sell it abroad, the price will increase several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times, and the profit will be huge.
Didn't Xiaoxue say before that when conditions are ripe, she wants to open a pharmaceutical factory or a pharmacy to sell medicine and make money, but she doesn't want to worry about managing it herself? Now that she has the army at the forefront, she doesn't have to wait until later. She can achieve her goal of making money while lying down now, so why not do it? "
Liu Jingxue's eyes lit up when she heard this. This is possible.
She likes small amounts of money the most.
When Mr. Zou saw Liu Jingxue's expression, he couldn't help but smile. This child loves money. Sometimes she acts like she regards money as dirt, but sometimes, it's like she's obsessed with money and can't get out. I don't know how she developed this habit.
“But if they only sell domestically and don’t export abroad, the profit won’t be much, and Xiaoxue will get even less.
It may take several years to equal the money from the one-time sale." Liu Weihua said worriedly.
Zhou Mingxuan consoled him, "Uncle Liu, you don't know this. Our country is in dire need of foreign exchange. If there is a way to earn foreign exchange, they will definitely rack their brains to achieve it."
“But if this thing is sold abroad, and they use it for experiments and research, won’t they be able to crack the recipe and make it themselves?” Wang Xiulan said worriedly.
Mr. Wu explained, "Don't worry about this. Foreign countries now have patent protection laws. As long as we apply for a patent before selling it abroad, even if we make the same product, they won't be able to manufacture or sell it.
Moreover, Xiaoxue's medicine is based on traditional Chinese medicine, which is profound and extensive, and it is not easy for them to decipher it."
“Some of the medicine-making techniques in my prescriptions are special and were invented by me.
Even if they crack the ingredients of the finished drug, without my unique method, the finished drug they make will not have such good effects, that is, the efficacy of the drugs currently on the market." Liu Jingxue guaranteed.
You have to know that alchemists all have their own unique methods of making medicine. The second owner had already thought of the problem of counterfeiting and had already set up anti-counterfeiting methods. She just had to follow them.
“That’s even more foolproof.
As for letting them sell the medicine overseas, they will send someone over to get the prescription and discuss compensation.
When the time comes, let Mingxuan and Junhao negotiate for Xiaoxue, and remind them about selling abroad and applying for patents in advance." said Mr. Wu.
Mr. Zou asked the most crucial question, "Then what percentage of net profit should Xiaoxue ask for at that time?"
"According to our previous rule of investing purely in technology and not taking any responsibility for anything else, the minimum you have to get is 20%. If the recipe is really hard to come by, you can even negotiate for 30%," Mr. Wu replied.
"After all, it's for the army. Xiaoxue had been thinking about handing over the recipe for free, but 30% is a bit too much, so why not just 20%?
Xiaoxue, what do you think?" Liu Weihua asked his niece.
"Uncle, didn't Grandpa Zhang say that he would help me get an identity as a talisman? Since I've already received this benefit, why not lower the price a little, say 10%.
Let's build good relations with the army, so that when you are redressed in the future, there will be more people speaking up for you.
I was planning to hand it in for free, and getting these benefits is already worth it. "
Liu Weihua touched his niece's head, and was touched that she was so considerate of them. "In that case, let's do as you wish."
Elder Wu looked at Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao and said, "When the time comes, you two must ask the troops to come and see Xiaoxue's righteousness, so that they will be grateful and willing to be her backer."
"Don't worry, Grandpa. We'll take care of it."
