Chapter 115 The Americans who broke the defense! (The subscription price is so low, please subscribe!)
Novartis’ pricing has become obviously polarized.
The rich will naturally not care about this small amount of money, but for many poor people in the United States, $1,500 per bottle is already a very expensive price.
Some people on the Internet began to criticize Novartis angrily, but others also pointed the finger at Medicare.
Especially those patients with severe fatty liver disease immediately requested on the Internet that Medicare include Novartis’ “LivClearX” as a first-class reimbursement drug.
Although the middle class feels a little expensive compared to the rich and poor at the bottom, many middle class people can't help but try it.
46-year-old Winston Davis is a very standard middle-class American.
He works at HSBC and is a middle-level leader in the risk control department.
Due to long-term socializing and reduced exercise, he discovered during a physical examination five years ago that he suffered from fatty liver.
At first he insisted on running and controlling his diet, but as there were no obvious abnormalities in his body, he gradually gave up after two months.
Two years ago, he suddenly discovered that his transaminase began to increase, exceeding the normal level by about 10%. In the past two years, he started taking health care products to protect and nourish the liver, but there was no obvious effect.
The latest transaminase test was 20 units higher than the normal value, which is not too high. The doctor’s advice is to increase exercise.
But this matter has always been a thorn in his heart, so when the new drug "LivClearX" from Novartis, which is claimed to be able to treat fatty liver, appeared, he immediately began to pay attention to it. After it was put on the market, he did not hesitate. I bought three bottles to try.
Today is the day he has been taking "LivClearX" for half a month. Yesterday he had a blood test at a private hospital, and today is the day the results will be available.
After a while, the phone rang, it was his personal doctor Paul.
"Hi, Paul, are yesterday's blood results out?"
"Yes, Mr. Winston, that's why I called you. I have sent the blood test results to your email. You can take a look when you are free and see if there is anything you don’t understand. You are welcome to contact me at any time."
Winston's heart suddenly tightened and he subconsciously asked:
"How are the blood results?"
"Also? Not bad, pretty good.”
"I'm talking about transaminase. You know that in the past two years, it has been 15% higher than the normal value, 20 units."
"Mr. Winston, what I'm talking about is that transaminase is not bad, very good." . ”
“I compared the results of your last inspection, and it has dropped by 10 units, and it will soon drop to the normal value.”
Winston was stunned for a moment. Instantly becomes pleasurable.
"Paul, this is the best news I have heard in the past two years."
"Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, the corners of Winston's mouth curled up involuntarily. At this moment, assistant Jenny pushed open the office door and walked in.
"Mr. Winston, you look very happy. Did you encounter something happy?"
"Haha!"
Winston laughed heartily. , eyes shining.
"Jenny, I have to give you a good thing from Amway..."
There are not a few middle-class people like Winston. They originally suffer from mild or moderate fatty liver disease, and they take half and half of it continuously. Visible results will be seen soon after a few months.
The good liver protection effect makes them very happy. Money is a trivial matter to them. As long as it can really protect the liver, it will be worth it!
The middle class people who felt the effect began to spontaneously become Novartis salesmen, and began to recommend "LivClearX" to their friends, colleagues, and bosses. For a time, "LivClearX" became a new favorite in the middle class circle, with good reviews such as Tide, extremely hot.
At the same time,
Although the price of up to 1,500 US dollars was greatly questioned and criticized on the Internet when it was first launched, as more and more users share their experience of taking the medicine, it is confirmed that "LivClearX" is very effective,
The reputation of "LivClearX" on the Internet has gradually changed. Novartis is awesome and the praise of Novartis as the light of American medicine has once again appeared in large numbers.
At this time, George Lin from the headquarters of HSBC Bank in Shanghai also received a notice that the company was preparing to send him to the United States for a business trip.
Ever since the last time his aunt Wang Guilan called him to help purchase the new drug "LivClearX" from Novartis, he has been very concerned about it and is often concerned about the situation of the new drug "LivClearX".
Looking at the rave reviews about "LivClearX" on Twitter, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
Great Novartis, their medicine is really good.
Soon, he called his aunt Wang Guilan and explained that he was about to go on a business trip to the United States. His aunt Wang Guilan on the other end of the phone was hesitant.
"Guofu, oh no, George, to tell you the truth, your uncle has been enrolled in the third clinical phase of Qingshan Pharmaceutical's new 'hepatocyte-promoting' drug. He has been taking the drug for two months now, and the effect is still good. Really good..."
“Why don’t we wait for the new drug from Novartis first? If the treatment effect from Qingshan Pharmaceutical is not good, I’ll trouble you to buy it for my aunt, okay?”
George Lin was stunned for a moment. For a moment, I felt a little anxious.
"Auntie, how can you trust the medicines of domestic pharmaceutical companies? Novartis is an American pharmaceutical company, and the effect is definitely better than theirs."
Although Wang Guilan was a little unreasonable in asking for help, she relied on her own The aunt said:
“George, you can’t say that, we Several patients in the ward have been relieved, and your uncle's appetite has improved recently."
"By the way, isn't your blood disease also cured by Qingshan Pharmaceutical? "
George Lin choked, his face turned red, and he couldn't speak for a moment.
"Hmph! Auntie, you are so ignorant!"
......
The news that Novartis' new drug "LivClearX" is popular in the US market has also spread to the country.
At first, several Amazon purchasing e-commerce companies were promoting "LivClearX". Gradually, the news was forwarded by several public figures, which immediately aroused discussion among many netizens.
“Hey, it has to be a foreign pharmaceutical company. American pharmaceutical companies like Novartis are really willing to invest in research and development and are really thinking about patients. This will benefit many American fatty liver patients!”< br>
"The people upstairs are not just American fatty liver patients. Novartis has benefited all mankind. This is really awesome. This is the real beacon of mankind! I envy Americans!" "I have to say, There is a huge gap between domestic pharmaceutical companies and foreign pharmaceutical companies. Domestic pharmaceutical companies simply do not have the entrepreneurial spirit and responsibility of foreign pharmaceutical companies. Perhaps they can only have such freedom in the United States. Only an excellent pharmaceutical company and excellent entrepreneur like Novartis can grow in an environment, right?”
“Yes, there is no such environment in China, and our system cannot produce such a company. Pharmaceutical companies, if you don’t say anything, your water meter will be checked again.”
At the beginning, the discussion among netizens was normal.
But gradually, as a well-known public intellectual named Ma Xiaohong joined the discussion, the topic gradually shifted to free nations and systems.
However, some righteous netizens soon came forward to refute Ma Xiaohong's comments on Weibo.
“Are you so damn blind? Didn’t our own Qingshan Pharmaceutical develop several curative drugs this year? Qingshan Ava, ITG human bone marrow, fenprofovir! Even ITG generated Sold to the UK Go! Can’t you see?”
“Just stop bragging about your American emperor. What new achievements have you made recently? I agree that Novartis’ new drug ‘LivClearX’ can cure fatty liver disease. Forced, but Qingshan Pharmaceutical does not Is there a drug for the treatment of liver cirrhosis in clinical phase III? Ours may not be as good as Novartis’s!”
The sharp comment directly caused the public to comment:
"Haha, you yourself are still in the third phase of clinical trials and haven't launched it yet. Let's wait until it is launched. The fact I know is that Novartis's 'LivClearX' is already on the market and has very good results! Where is your Qingshan Pharmaceutical?"< br>
"Okay, just wait, I believe in Tsingshan Pharmaceutical, and I'm waiting for Tsingshan Pharmaceutical to smash your face!"
A few netizens with strong personalities directly confronted Ma Xiaohong, a well-known person, which triggered a controversy. Many netizens watched.
At a time when there was a lot of excitement about "LivClearX" in China, Novartis President Green once again met with Friedman alone.
At present, "LivClearX" has been on the market for a month. It has to be said that the sales volume is gratifying. The sales volume of 200,000 bottles that month exceeded initial expectations.
However, seeing more and more praise for Novartis on Twitter and Titock, the conservative Green is still preparing to reveal to the outside world through the media that "LivClearX" actually originated from the Chinese company Tsingshan Pharmaceuticals , try to minimize the impact.
Friedman soon arrived at Greene's office, already prepared with another set of rhetoric.
Just sat down.
"Mr. President..."
Friedman was choosing his words. He did not want this matter to be made public.
But before he could finish speaking, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and another vice president, Klein, walked in with a slightly panicked expression.
He glanced at Friedman, then his eyes fell on Green.
"President, this is bad!"
"Someone on the Internet has already taken a step ahead of us and released the news that 'LivClearX' comes from Qingshan Pharmaceutical!"
< br>"Now network Everyone on the Internet called us liars! Why didn’t we disclose the information in advance? "
"Moreover, the article that disclosed us also mentioned that Qingshan Pharmaceutical is in the third phase of clinical trials. Activator'!
They pointed out that Tsingshan Pharmaceutical’s ‘hepatocellular activator’ is far more effective than ours, and our ‘LivClearX’ is only a semi-finished product! ”
Green looked stunned, and did not bother to continue talking to Friedman. He hurriedly took out his mobile phone and started logging into Twitter to check the comments on the Internet!
On the contrary, Friedman smiled slightly After being stunned for a moment, he exhaled calmly
......
[Revealing the real secret of Novartis’ fatty liver miracle drug ‘LivClearX’]
Just like Klein said, a medical blogger whose name I can’t even name posted this article on Twitter.
A quick glance shows that the medical knowledge inside is definitely published by industry insiders.
But it is no longer important who published it. What is important is that the article not only mentioned that "LivClearX" originated from China Qingshan Pharmaceutical, but also pointed out that 'LivClearX' is only a semi-finished product of Qingshan Pharmaceutical. The complete effect in Qingshan Pharmaceutical can even reverse liver cirrhosis!
And more importantly!
After the Internet quickly fermented, countless American netizens saw this article.
All the praise for Novartis on Twitter and Titck came to an abrupt end, and the United States was shocked!
"Fuck! Novartis, you are a fucking liar, 'LivClearX' is actually a new drug developed by a Chinese pharmaceutical company! Bah, I actually said that you are the light of medicine for all mankind! Just your sister!"< br>
“It’s okay to introduce drugs from Chinese pharmaceutical companies. The most hateful thing is that you actually introduced semi-finished products? Oh! , Mygod! You want the Chinese people to laugh out loud!”! Novartis, I have asked my friends in China, they said that the semi-finished product is called the castration version! When did USA use the castrated version? ”
“Novartis, you deserve to die!”
The surging public opinion on the Internet has made Novartis a little overwhelmed, especially since President Green has discovered that many middle-class people are @him on Twitter and are complaining very dissatisfiedly.
The content of their complaints is not that "LivClearX" originated from China. They complained that Novartis treated it differently and did not introduce a better "hepatocellular activator" from Tsingshan Pharmaceuticals.
On the second day of public opinion fermentation, President Green convened an emergency meeting with several senior executives, and then officially issued a clarification at 12 noon.
[Dear patient friends, we have noticed that there have been many discussions on the Internet recently about the new drug ‘LivClearX’, and here are the following points. 】
[The drug patent of our company's new drug "LivClearX" does come from Tsingshan Pharmaceutical, but the production, clinical tracking, improvement, launch and other aspects are all completed independently by our company. 】
[The "Hepatocellular Activator" and "LivClearX" of Qingshan Pharmaceutical mentioned on the Internet are not the same drug. There is no semi-finished product or castrated version. If necessary in the future, our company will consider introducing more drugs to provide better services. for every patient. 】
【I wish you good health. 】
Novartis' explanation is obviously weak, and even because of its explanation, it is an indirect admission from another perspective that Qingshan Pharmaceutical has a more powerful "hepatocyte activator".
For a time, the Americans completely broke their defenses!
Countless Americans who previously touted Novartis as the light of humanity and the beacon of the universe have deleted their posts;
Comments praising Novartis and praising the U.S. pharmaceutical research and development system as the best in the world have also disappeared.
They can accept that "LivClearX" was not developed by an American company, and they can even accept that the drug comes from Japan or South Korea, but they cannot accept that this drug is regarded as a miracle drug by themselves,
and is touted as The greatest drugs in the history of modern human medicine originated from Chinese enterprises.
Mr. Winston Davis was sitting in his office, looking at the ten bottles of "LivClearX" he had purchased a few days ago and instantly felt extremely irritable.
He has read the news, and like most Americans, he is not cold towards China.
In my impression, it was a poor, backward and very closed country. How could they possibly develop such top-notch drugs?
After a moment, he frowned, looked at "LivClearX", then looked at the trash can, and finally cursed angrily:
"Fuck!"
The news of Novartis’ clarification was quickly noticed by Zhang Xiaohua, who often hangs out on the Internet.
Zhang Xiaohua, a medical student, was the first public account blogger to bring Novartis’ “LivClearX” news back to China.
The moment he saw the clarification news, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but widen his eyes and quickly realized that this was big news!
He remembered that a public intellectual named Ma Xiaohong in China got into a fight with netizens because of this incident.
If this is transported back to China... it must not crack!
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xiaohua immediately published the original text and translation of the clarification on his Weibo account.
After just half an hour, the country was completely fried!
