Chapter 1,431 Research and Development Expenses for Traditional Chinese Medicine
Alice also had her own business to attend to when she came to the federal capital, so she only had some time to get here today.
She said enthusiastically: "Teacher, how are you preparing? Do you need any help?"
Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Everything is ready. Unlike Western medicine, our Chinese medicine requires very few equipment and tools, as long as there are people around."
"Oh! Teacher, how are you going to charge? Have the charging standards been set?"
"Uh...I forgot."
Only then did Ye Bufan remember that he was opening a medical clinic and not an outpatient clinic, and the charging standards had not yet been determined.
Cao Xinghua said: "We old men were so excited that we forgot about the charges, but it's not too late to order now."
After speaking, he looked at Ye Bufan: "Brother, how do you think this standard should be determined? How much should we charge for consultation?"
Ye Bufan thought for a while and stretched out a finger: "The consultation fee will be charged at the standard of 100 yuan."
Lou Baiming said: "Senior brother, isn't 100 yuan a bit high? When converted into US dollars, it's almost a dozen yuan."
Ye Bufan shook his head: "You misunderstood. The 100 yuan I mentioned is US dollars. Our consultation fee is 100 US dollars per time, and the treatment is also 100 US dollars. As for the price of medicines, just follow the market and follow the market price."
Cao Xinghua looked stunned: "Huh? Senior brother, 100 U.S. dollars costs almost 800 Chinese coins. Isn't it a bit much just for the consultation fee?
Moreover, we have just officially entered country m. If we raise the price too high all of a sudden, will there be any adverse effects? "
"The price of 100 yuan is already very cheap. Because we have just entered the market, we cannot set the price too low."
Ye Bufan said, “Because we have just opened the market, we cannot give people the impression that traditional Chinese medicine is cheap.
Our Chinese medicine is no worse than any other medical skill, and there is no reason to be cheaper than others! "
In fact, he did not set this price arbitrarily, but the result after comprehensive consideration.
According to the worth of several of them, let alone 100 US dollars or even 1,000 US dollars, it is not high. After all, they are the top Chinese medicine experts in China, and it is difficult to find the best one on weekdays.
But they have just arrived in country M, and they represent not the national experts in Chinese medicine, but the overall impression of Chinese medicine, so they set the price at 100 US dollars.
"this……"
Cao Xinghua seemed to think something was wrong, but for a moment he said no.

come out.
Wang Xuande hesitated and said, "Medical Immortal, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Mr. Wang, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Ye Bufan has a very good impression of this old man recently, otherwise he would not have left him in country M.
"That's right." Wang Xuande carefully adjusted his words and said, "When we were in China, our Divine Needle King used to charge relatively high fees.
At that time, the medical fairy taught me that doctors should be kind-hearted and should not be mercenary, but our current price seems to be higher than what I paid at that time..."
At this point, he stopped, with a cautious look on his face, fearing that he would say the wrong thing and make the other party dissatisfied.
"Mr. Wang, I understand what you mean."
Ye Bufan smiled slightly, without any hint of dissatisfaction, and then said: "China is China, and country m is country m. Different countries have different charging standards."
Wang Xuande looked puzzled: "Old man, I'm stupid, so I'd like to ask the medical fairy to clarify."
"The reason is very simple. Just look at Western medicine. How much does the medicine developed by country m sell for in their own country? How much does it cost for us in China?
The price of their medicines in our country is almost several times that of our own country. In serious cases, it can reach dozens or hundreds of times.
In fact, Western medicines are all made by chemical synthesis, and the cost is very low. A pill costs about a few cents, or at most a few yuan. You can easily sell it for hundreds or thousands of dollars, and you can even take the medicine. The most typical drug that can make you bankrupt is the leukemia drug Gleevec.
You have to ask why it is so expensive? There is only one reason, high research and development costs.
Putting aside whether the prices of Western medicines are reasonable, don’t Chinese medicines have R\u0026D expenses? Of course, our Chinese medicine does not fall from the sky.
From the time when Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, through the continuous improvement and excellence of Chinese medicine masters such as Hua Tuo, Bian Que, Zhang Zhongjing, and Li Shizhen, today's traditional Chinese medicine system has emerged.
This is our research and development, which took 5,000 years and used countless outstanding talents. In terms of value evaluation, it is higher than any other medical system.
If we are descendants of China, we won’t say anything. This is the legacy left by our ancestors, and there is no need to consider R\u0026D expenses at all.
But it is different for foreigners who have been charging us R\u0026D expenses. This money should still be collected. "
After hearing what he said, several old men present suddenly became enlightened and nodded.
Wang Xuande bowed deeply: "Listening to the words of the medical fairy is better than reading

After ten years of reading, I have learned a lesson, old man. "
After the price was set, Sophie wrote a price list and posted it at the door, and then she was responsible for the charges.
Not long after the opening, a Chinese man came over in a hurry. He was a young man in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and walked into the medical center with a hurried look.
After entering the door, everyone discovered that this person's facial features were not in their normal positions. To put it simply, his mouth was slanted and his eyes were crooked.
Sophie asked: "Sir, would you like to see a doctor?"
"Nonsense, why would I come to you if I don't want to see a doctor?"
The bespectacled man's speech was somewhat unclear due to the stroke, and he could barely hear what was being said.
"Then please pay the consultation fee, which is 100 US dollars."
"What? What did you say?" The man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sign at the door and then at Sophie, "Isn't this a Chinese medicine clinic?"
Sophie nodded: "Yes, we are pure Chinese medicine here."
The bespectacled man suddenly shouted angrily: "A Chinese medicine doctor charges so much for medical treatment. Why don't you go and grab it? Even if I go to a big hospital to apply for a Western medicine doctor, it's only this price. Why are you so expensive? You don't want to open it, do you?" "
Ye Bufan frowned and stepped forward and said, "According to your opinion, Chinese medicine should be cheaper than Western medicine, right?"
"Of course!" the man with glasses shouted confidently, "You can bluff others, but I absolutely can't. Do you think I have never been in China?
I grew up in China and lived there for more than twenty years. I stayed in country M after graduating from Shuimu University. "
Ye Bufan asked: "Then let me ask you, are you Chinese or M country now?"
"Of course I'm from country M. Did you study at Shuimu University for free? I stayed here as a special talent and am already a formal citizen here.
Note, not a green card holder, but an official citizen. "
Speaking of this, the man with glasses showed a proud look, but because of his slanted mouth and crooked eyes, he looked a little weird.
Ye Bufan said: "Since you are an official citizen of Country M, that's right. Our traditional Chinese medicine clinic provides free medical treatment to Chinese people. It charges 100 yuan for people from Country M. If you want to see it, pay. If you don't want to see it, please leave."
After the bespectacled man revealed that he was an official citizen of Country M, he originally expected to see the envious look in his eyes, but he didn't expect this result, and he was immediately annoyed.
"Is there any mistake? I am a citizen of Country M, and you, a Chinese, want to charge me extra?"
