Chapter 161 Reputation

There are nearly 80 billion people in the world.

Even if only half the population were vaccinated against the new Ebola virus, it would sell more than 40 billion.

Given the terrifying power of the new Ebola virus, $30 for a vaccine is not expensive, right?
The sales volume is 40 billion, the unit price is 30 US dollars, and the sales volume has reached a terrifying 1200 billion US dollars.

What is harvesting the world, this is it!

The sales of 1200 billion U.S. dollars, even in terms of the sales volume of nearly 2000 million units of Arc Light Automobile in a year, and the sales of 8765 billion U.S. dollars, this is not a small number.

And the profits of the two cannot be compared at all.

The profit margin of Arclight Automobile is considered to be the top of the pyramid in the auto industry, and it is the highest kind, but it is only about 60%.

And what about vaccines?

For a vaccine, if the research and development costs are not considered, its profit margin can reach a level that is astounding.

Take the new Ebola virus vaccine as an example. According to Ling's estimation, after mass production, the production cost of an Ebola virus vaccine is only 0.5 yuan, 0.07 US dollars.

If a new Ebola virus vaccine is priced at US$30, its profit margin is 99700%, which is nearly 1700 times that of Arclight Automobile.

It is conceivable how terrifying the profits of vaccines are.

Not only the vaccine industry, but also the medical and pharmaceutical industries have terrible profit margins. Of course, research and development costs are also extremely high, and ordinary companies do not even have the qualifications to set foot in it.

No wonder Zhang Mingbo blushed with excitement at this moment.

This is simply a money grab!

At present, no country has developed a practical vaccine, but Chensheng Technology has developed it first. This is simply an exclusive business.

"Chairman, this new Ebola virus vaccine is simply too important to our newly established Chensheng Life Science and Technology Company."

Chensheng Life Science and Technology Co., Ltd. is a newly established company under the Chensheng Group, aiming to get involved in the industries of biology, medical treatment and medicine.

However, this subsidiary is still relying on the group's capital injection for product research and development.

Now that the new Ebola virus vaccine is out, what products still need to be developed?All efforts to produce this vaccine are over.

Taking a [-]-step back, even if it cannot completely occupy the market for the new Ebola vaccine, it can still make Chensheng Life Science and Technology Co., Ltd. alive instantly, without the need for constant blood transfusions from the parent company.

This is of great strategic significance to Chensheng Group.

Hearing this, Lu Chen shook his head.

"We can earn money from the new Ebola virus vaccine, but more, I need to use it to earn a wave of prestige."

"Grow reputation?"

Zhang Mingbo was a little puzzled.

"If we only think about using the new Ebola virus vaccine as a cash cow, Africa that has been ravaged by the epidemic has no choice but to accept our slaughter, but other countries that have not been ravaged by the epidemic will definitely refuse to accept this kind of vaccination. Vaccines, because they are also developing vaccines themselves, especially several big countries.”

Zhang Mingbo nodded.

Lu Chen continued: "And these big countries are actually the main markets in the world. Without these markets, even if we can win all the African markets, how much money can we make?"

Seeing that Zhang Mingbo was still a little puzzled, Lu Chen sighed and said, "Africa is too poor, most countries can't afford the $30 vaccine."

Major markets around the world reject you, and Africa cannot afford vaccinations. Even if Chensheng Life Science and Technology is the first to develop a vaccine, it can only earn money from the Chinese people and be scolded by the Chinese people.

Moreover, although the new type of Ebola virus is extremely scary, there are not many cases in China, and the epidemic is well controlled.

Everyone may not be willing to spend this money to get vaccinated.

At that time, Chensheng Life Science and Technology will definitely make trouble inside and outside.

Not only that, but everyone will feel disgusted with Chensheng Technology Group.

This is the reason why big companies cannot make money in the face of a catastrophe.

Even doing so will not only disgust the public, but also the Huaguo government will be dissatisfied with Chensheng Technology Group.

Although the people of Huaguo had always been proud of Arclight Automobile Company before this, but as the saying goes, it is very difficult to establish a good corporate image, and only one thing is needed to ruin the corporate image.

If Chensheng Life Science and Technology really wants to do this, it will not only ruin its own reputation, but also the reputation of Chensheng Group.

Thinking of this episode, Zhang Mingbo calmed down instantly, his face turned pale.

"Chairman, please give instructions."

Zhang Mingbo said half-jokingly.

"In the name of Chensheng Life Science and Technology, disclose the vaccine technology."

"what?"

Zhang Mingbo thought that Lu Chen might not make money from the Chinese people, but he didn't expect that he would disclose the vaccine technology.

Sales of more than 1000 billion US dollars, and the profit margin is close to 1000 times.

If this cake is eaten, the performance of Chensheng Life Science and Technology may surpass all businesses in the Chensheng Group except Arclight Automobile, and become the company's second largest industrial pillar.

Lu Chen actually gave up.

But if you think about it carefully, countries that do not disclose vaccine technology and have the ability to develop vaccines will definitely not let you use vaccines to harvest them.

For countries without the strength to develop vaccines, the market is too small, and others may refuse to buy because the epidemic is not serious, or wait for other countries to develop vaccines to see if the price can be lowered.

In this way, although Lu Chen developed a new type of Ebola virus vaccine in advance, not only did he not make any money, but he also gained a reputation of being greedy for money.

So the best way is to disclose the technology!
Once Chensheng Life Science and Technology discloses the vaccine technology, the whole world can produce this vaccine.

Then other countries will definitely stop the research and development of vaccines and switch to vaccine production.

As far as industrial production capacity is concerned, whether it is a manufacturer in Huaguo or a life science city, have you ever been afraid of others?
At that time, it will not be who has a greater production capacity advantage and who makes more money.

At that time, Chensheng Life Science and Technology will also earn money and reputation, wouldn't it be flattering.

With these considerations, Lu Chen moved a little bit, and Zhang Mingbo instantly came to his senses, showing a shameful expression.

In fact, this is not to blame Zhang Mingbo for being short-sighted. Anyone who sees tens of billions of dollars in profits will be blind.

The reason why Lu Chen doesn't care about these tens of billions of dollars in profits is because to him, money is just a set of numbers and has no meaning.

What he values ​​more is resources, his own hard power, rather than empty banknotes.

Talk about work.

Zhang Mingbo asked with a smile: "Old Lu, are you going back to China to participate in this year's group annual meeting?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen felt in a daze.

Before he knew it, he had been in Kanya for a full year and a half.

Even last year's Chinese New Year, he did not return home.

This is also the first time in his life that he did not go home for the New Year.

Although he, Kanya, is the big boss who controls everything behind the scenes, but at the same time, he is also a wanderer.

He can't forget that his roots are in that land.

But thinking of what he was going to do, Lu Chen immediately became firmer: "I won't attend the annual meeting, but I will go back to China this year for Chinese New Year, and I will stop by to reward you when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll take care of you."

Zhang Mingbo said with a smile.
