The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

Lin Ming opened the file bag and found several A4 papers inside.

On each paper, there was a table that compared the prices of various types of foot and foot creams and listed them clearly.

At the same time.

Zhang Kuang also explained: "There are many types of foot and foot creams in China, and they are messy. There are at least more than 700 brands, including thousands of unknown brands."

"For example, Renhe, Dakning, Tongrentang, and Yunnan Baiyao, the prices are similar, and the sales price is basically between 20 yuan and 40 yuan."

"Foreign imports are another matter, such as Austrian Lefushu, German Lamisil, and Sun Country Xiaolin Foot and Foot Cream, etc., the sales price ranges from 80 to 180 yuan."

"There are three or four most expensive ones, and the domestic prices are all over 300 yuan."

Lin Ming nodded slightly.

It's not that foreign things are good.

There are not so many Chinese people who like to worship foreign things.

For things imported from abroad, the importer must pay a part of the tariff.

This is the main reason for the huge price increase.

Zhang Kuang said again: "For any imported foot cream, we have conducted a series of investigations on its domestic price. The highest price will not exceed RMB 150 and the lowest price will not exceed RMB 30."

Hearing this price, Lin Ming sneered.

Just like cold medicine.

Capital still has to make money after all.

There is a certain proportion of tariffs, but it is absolutely impossible to make such a big difference.

Anyway, the rich can't spend their money, so they must choose expensive ones.

It is precisely because of the two major psychological factors of 'imported ones are good' and 'expensive ones are good'.

Therefore, the domestic prices of foreign products are so high.

"How much do they cost?" Lin Ming asked.

"There is no definite basis for this, it is a trade secret of others."

Zhang Kuang said: "But according to my one-by-one investigation of the prescription and the ratio, I can determine that the highest cost of these foot creams will not exceed 20 yuan, and the lowest cost is only about 4 yuan."

Lin Ming narrowed his eyes: "In other words, a 4-yuan product sells for more than 30 yuan in their country and more than 80 yuan in China?"

"Yes." Zhang Kuang nodded.

"A 20-fold increase..." Lin Ming murmured.

"According to market research, take the Austrian Lefushu foot cream as an example. The domestic price is at least 88 yuan. Put aside the 4-yuan drug cost, and then put aside a series of costs such as customs duties and labor, and the final profit is about 54 yuan."

Zhang Kuang said: "Of course, if the other party's contract states that the tariff must be borne by the importer, then the profit can be increased by another 9 yuan to 63 yuan!"

He was not so casual when talking to Lin Ming, and always used "yuan" as the unit of measurement.

Very formal, but it always sounds a bit awkward.

Lin Ming still likes to use the word "block".

"Only when the product power is insufficient will we sign a superficial contract with the importer, and the final tariff will still be borne by the exporter."

Lin Ming waved his hand and said: "We don't need that, so the tariff does not need to be included in the cost. Whoever wants to cooperate with us, let them bear it themselves."

"Okay." Zhang Kuang responded.

"Forget it, I won't read it. These things give me a headache."

Lin Ming put the information in his hand aside.

Asked Zhang Kuang: "Just tell me directly, what is the expected price of the special effect foot and foot cream in your mind?"

"This has to be decided by Director Lin and Director Chen." Zhang Kuang said.

"You guy..."

Lin Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You are still so reluctant to let go with the two of us? You are the backbone of Phoenix Pharmaceuticals, and the special effect foot and foot cream was also developed by you. You may not have the right to set the price, but you definitely have suggestions and opinions on pricing."

Zhang Kuang thought about it.

He said simply and neatly: "The domestic price is 150 yuan, and you and Mr. Chen can decide for the overseas market."

Lin Ming smiled: "Why, didn't you just say that there are patients both at home and abroad? Why are you only talking about the domestic price now, and let me decide for the overseas market?"

"The company also has costs, otherwise where would I get the money to develop other drugs..." Zhang Kuang muttered.

"Maybe it's because we have different perspectives, so we have different ideas about things."

Lin Ming said: "As for the domestic price, this is indeed subject to discussion. After all, we have agreed before, and it is likely that we will have to wait for the Food and Drug Administration to intervene."

"But overseas..."

Lin Ming paused, and the smile on his face disappeared a little.

"How do they make money from us Chinese people? I will make money from them in the same way!"

Zhang Kuang was silent, but he didn't have the slightest objection.

"Family is a small family, and the country is a big family."Lin Ming added: "Let's not talk about how those people abroad view us Chinese. At least they are very interested in the money in the hands of Chinese."

"Okay, let's do this for now. Give me some of that special foot cream. I'll contact you when there's something else."

"Mr. Lin, I'll leave first."

Zhang Kuang lowered his head slightly and turned to walk outside.

"Don't forget about Auntie's treatment. I'll call you when I'm done!" Lin Ming shouted.

After Zhang Kuang left here.

Lin Ming fell into deep thought again.

The reason why he talked to Zhang Kuang was not really chatting.

Zhang Kuang was stubborn, and this was his real stubborn temper.

But he was concerned about his country and was righteous.

But what?

Lin Ming was a businessman and it was impossible for him to pay for his stubbornness.

This speech was not a warning, but an enlightenment.

I believe Zhang Kuang also understood what he meant.

The next time.

Lin Ming called Yu Xiaomei to the office again and asked about the funding issues of the group's accounts.

It is indeed as Han Changyu said.

Now there are indeed more than 20 billion in the group's accounts.

To be exact, it is 21.7 billion!

This can all be counted as the group's operating funds.

Don't look at those big groups, whose market value is often hundreds of billions or even tens of billions.

But Lin Ming dares to pat his chest to guarantee.

There are only a few groups with more than 20 billion in operating funds in the entire Landao City!

Most companies are too big to be lost, and the negatives are greater than the positives.

Just from this point of view, Lin Ming is still very proud.

Yu Xiaomei made a simple summary of the funds and left the office.

Lin Ming looked for Qin Yi again and told her about the general arrangements for work.

Finally, when Qin Yi was about to leave.

Lin Ming suddenly said: "Minister Qin, it should be okay to talk about personal matters during working hours?"

Qin Yi was stunned.

Then he smiled bitterly: "Boss Lin said it's okay, what else can I have a problem with."

"It's like this."

Lin Ming took a sip of water: "Last time I video chatted with you, my precious daughter kept praising you for being beautiful, and even in her dreams she kept shouting that she wanted to meet Second Mother and play with her."
