American Tobacco has always said that its market is shrinking, and it has always said that it is low growth or even regressing. Turned into 00 million US dollars, you say terrible is not terrible.

There is no second industry in the world that has a return rate of 100 years, which can be better than tobacco.

Even if Buffett's life is extended, if he invests for 100 years, it is estimated that he may not be able to outperform the tobacco industry index.

At the same time, the Tobacco Department continues to publicize the dangers of quitting smoking, how many percentage points the tobacco industry has shrunk, how much cigarette sales have decreased by 1Z each year, how much the number of smokers has decreased, and young people no longer smoke.

Moreover, from time to time to intimidate smokers, they may not even have to smoke in the future.

As a result, smokers in turn began to fight against smokers to safeguard their smoking rights.

However, what most smokers do not know is that most of the campaigns related to smoking cessation are promoted by the tobacco department.

Of course, smoking is harmful to health and creates public opinion. The ultimate goal is to prevent the establishment of a new tobacco company! After the old tobacco company promoted the harmfulness of smoking to political correctness, many countries in Europe and the United States wanted to establish a new tobacco company. The difficulty of making a company is close to impossible! Because of the propaganda that smoking is harmful to health, a small number of tobacco oligarchs have naturally monopolized the market, and their profits are more stable than before.

Alcohol is similar. Historically, various countries have successively had various prohibitions on alcohol.

Is it really because of the shortage of food, so is it forbidden to drink alcohol? It is actually wrong. The reason for prohibiting alcohol is always because of profit.

And, often incompletely, prohibition hits most of the liquor department, but leaves a few oligarchs unrestricted.

This has led to the concentration of huge profits to a few real heads.

The same is true for medicines, as long as they are alive, they will definitely get sick, with few exceptions.

Therefore, companies related to the pharmaceutical industry in various countries will play games for their own interests.

Such as crowding out foreign medicine imports and charging high tariffs.

Traditional drugs such as Ma Yinglong, which have been proven to be effective, are regarded as newly discovered drugs by some consumers in Europe and the United States, but the Department of Medicine is still trying to find a way to make it difficult for this drug to be widely sold through formal zero-harm medical channels.

The same is true in Japan, because Japan's domestic pharmaceutical industry is very large. It can be said that after the Japanese economic recession, the pharmaceutical industry is one of the few industries that did not decline, and some pharmaceutical companies even grew during the two decades of Japanese economic recession. Hundreds of times and thousands of times, staged a story of growth against the trend.

Why? Because the elderly population in Japan has begun to grow rapidly. The elderly population is an important consumer of medicine. In the past [-] years, the elderly population has increased several times compared to the past. With the elderly population growing every year, how can the pharmaceutical industry not become Gold mine? Japan can’t beat the American father, and is forced to let a large number of American drugs go straight in, grabbing the dividends of Japan’s aging market (for the pharmaceutical industry), but it is strictly guarding against drugs from China and other countries.

After all, China does not have a market advantage for patented drugs, but 99% of the world's drugs are out-of-patent drugs. The well-regulated ancient factories in India began to produce the internationally profitable patented drugs before the patent expired. The patented drugs cost thousands of dollars, and the pirated and illegal drugs in India cost hundreds of dollars.

And India does not have the most basic pharmaceutical raw material industry chain, so basically they are all imported from China. Essentially, which medicines can be produced in India, which ones can’t be produced in China? However, China does not It is possible to lower the lower limit of oneself to the level of India, pay special attention to the international image, and cannot be completely shameless. Naturally, there will be no such medicine. But once the patents of famous international medicines expire and can be produced legally, Chinese pharmaceutical companies will also Unceremoniously swarming to produce cheaper generics Generics are legal imitations because, well, the patents have expired.

Relatively speaking, 99% of China's regular drugs, that is, drugs whose patents have expired, are sold at prices far below international prices.

The prices of similar drugs in Europe, America and Japan are ten to dozens of times higher than those in China, and those drugs are cheap, and the patents have expired, and they are still sold as if the patents have not expired. Simply put, medicine does not only rely on patents The protection is based on the shameless invisible policy barriers of the governments of various countries. Therefore, regardless of whether the patent expires, the drugs in Europe, America and Japan are extremely expensive, because it is difficult for a new pharmaceutical department to be established if the competition in the pharmaceutical department is not fierce. Break the real pattern.

The most expensive drugs in China are mainly patented drugs, which are in line with international standards.

After more than ten years, there will be affordable drugs after the patent expires.

Drugs whose patents have expired cost 10 yuan a box, and the price of the same kind in European and American pharmacies is generally more than 100 US dollars per box. The price of tens of times and hundreds of times is the price of European and American medicines.

Just like in the past, there were ambulance scenes in American film and television dramas, but in recent years, the scenes of hospital ambulances have become less and less visible.

Because... you are actually a local tyrant who calls the ambulance. Disrespect and disrespect. As long as you call an ambulance number and dozens of ambulances grab bills, whoever grabs the patient will immediately be charged with a few thousand dollars in the ambulance.

Foreigners don't understand the medical situation in the United States. The child is in a bad mood, and the doctor is very happy to tell her a story.

Afterwards, those who felt that American doctors and nurses were particularly kind, immediately lost their views.

Americans don’t dare to treat a cold. They like to drink boiled water and eat fruits to supplement vitamins. Is it really because they advocate the self-healing of the human body? Isn’t it because the medical oligarchs frantically raise the price to refresh human beings’ awareness of medical pricing.

The United States, which has the world's top listed pharmaceutical companies, is the country with the most rampant pharmaceutical smuggling.

It's not that Americans smuggle medicines abroad, on the contrary --- a large number of Americans like to buy ordinary medicines abroad when they go abroad, and bring them back to the United States to increase the price by ten times, which is considered a friendly price. In the international market, the price of medicines in other countries has been lowered a lot, and the price of American pharmacies is several times or even dozens of times higher than the price of exported medicines.

As for Ma Yinglong’s hemorrhoid sound, the domestic price is 10 yuan a box. The price of Amazon’s channel is 15.8 US dollars per box.

Because, compared with similar drugs, such pricing is really too cheap! Therefore, similar to medicine, alcohol, and tobacco, it seems that they are maintained by the patent system, but in fact they are not.

Second-hand, the top capital bosses from various countries in the world occupy the mountains as kings, enclosing land in various markets around the world, and setting the rules of the game: in the face of profit-making industries such as medicine, free trade and market economy are all jokes.

In capitalist countries, there are countless ways to make it impossible for medicine to circulate freely. One price per country. The United States is next door to Mexico, and the profits of smuggling drugs to the United States are even more than smuggling. It is more active to crack down on smuggling from Mexico! You can open your eyes and close your eyes, damn, you don’t open your eyes to smuggle antipyretics and cold medicines into the US market, fuck you! Because even cold medicines in the United States are more profitable than * It's much higher, and it's also much more expensive! Of course, in the food world... the profit of gourmet food is actually extremely high, no less than other monopoly profiteering products.

However, the particularity of the gourmet industry is that it is not monopolized by capital tycoons, but by talented chefs! Every chef's cooking skills are different and cannot be copied.

It has also led to the fact that although the gourmet industry has become a huge profiteering industry in this world, there has never been a monopoly giant that can really control the gourmet market.

Chapter 117 The Totsuki Evil Party Eiyama Etsu Also Came to Make Troubles

Sometimes what a civilian restaurant needs is an atmosphere - in an environment where there is no one, there will be no more guests.

When someone eats, more diners will be gathered in a crowded restaurant. They may not know each other, but eating together in the same restaurant should be a fate.

Not long after Fukuda Shinta came, six more guests came soon.

Three people are a family of 0. I specially ordered the flat spicy hot pot. Compared with the family, although it is more expensive than cooking at home, but the delicious richness is worthy of this price. The other three guests, then They all come here to eat the most delicious instant noodles in the world, which is the flat and spicy hotpot Zhusheng instant noodles.

Although they are also instant noodles, the noodles in the store, no matter the soup or side dishes, are not comparable to the industrial mass-produced instant noodles.

Therefore, the guests who occupied the three tables all showed joyful expressions because of the delicious food.

"Good evening! Do you want to come for dinner?" Liu Xing looked at the new guests, his brows could not help but twitch, because, the group of five people showed a vicious aura similar to the hungry people in the real estate industry before, but , Now the hungry people in the real estate industry are already regular customers. After i entered the site, they are very responsible and occasionally help out.

After all, there is no conflict of interest between Liu Xing and the people in the real estate industry. "Is this the store?" One of the errands and helpers among the visitors looked around at the store's furnishings and signs, making a nasty tone, "There is such a dilapidated shop outside the gate of Yuanyue. It's really bad luck! "Yes! The door of the shop used to be closed, but it's always open recently, which makes people uncomfortable!" Another person said. If we smash the store, it should be fine.

"What if there is something wrong? Do we look like people who are afraid of trouble? - In an instant, Liu Xing and the others immediately went out of guard. Ladies and gentlemen, if you come to eat, I welcome you.

But if you make trouble, please get out.
