Chapter 355 Run to the front line.
……
Chen Xuan was very satisfied with this deposit.
In other words, these two deposits were also the first revenue generated by Antai Pharmaceutical Group.
Previously, Antai Pharmaceutical Group had no income, but now it has finally started to generate real revenue.
Moreover, not only can it generate income, the profits are also astonishing, which can be regarded as shocking profits.
"If R&D expenses are not included,"
"At the current production scale, the total cost of producing a box of lung cancer medicine is 100 yuan. The overseas version is a bit higher, around 120 yuan."
"Based on Huaxia's factory price, we make a profit of 1150 yuan per box sold, while based on the factory price in overseas markets, our profit per box is 4880 yuan."
Luo Shiyun smiled and told the production cost of the special medicine for lung cancer.
This total cost includes raw material and wage expenses, equipment depreciation, operating expenses, etc., the total cost of all expenses added together.
There are only two expenses that are not included.
One is R&D expenses.
The second is taxes and fees.
Not to mention the R&D expenses.
This is the cost of the new drug developed personally by Chen Xuan. As for how much R&D expenses are required, it is difficult to calculate.
The R&D costs of other new drugs may cost hundreds of millions of dollars, or may cost $20 billion, $100 billion, or even $10 billion.
However, the actual cost of the various new drugs he developed was very low, and it was mainly due to his experimental expenses. He spent a lot of money this time, but compared with the expenses of other laboratories, it was only a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, Luo Shiyun has no way to calculate the R&D costs for the time being.
As for taxes and fees, there is no need to consider the cost.
Because the ex-factory prices of lung cancer-specific drugs are all tax-exclusive.
In other words, no matter how much tax is paid, it has nothing to do with Antai Pharmaceutical Group, but the buyer will pay the shipping fee.
The reason why the overseas version of the lung cancer specific drug costs more than the lung cancer specific drug is not because the overseas version is more effective or because the quality of the overseas version is different.
The cost is higher mainly due to transportation.
Transporting the products from the production base to various countries requires a lot of transportation costs, and this cost is also borne by Antai Pharmaceutical Group. Only after arriving abroad will Novartis be responsible for the subsequent costs.
Therefore, after taking all these miscellaneous production processes into consideration, the overseas version of the lung cancer drug will be about 20 yuan higher, but the two drugs are exactly the same, only the outer packaging and instructions will be changed to local language, and there is no other difference at all.
Chen Xuan was indeed very satisfied with this profit.
Medicines are indeed more profitable than arms, and it is impossible for arms to achieve such a high profit margin.
Of course, you can choose not to buy medicines, but sometimes you cannot choose not to buy arms. For example, if some countries do not buy American arms, it may be in the news the next day.
The huge profits from arms are not as great as those from medicines, but people who do not need them can be forced to buy them, but this cannot be done with medicines.
But the production cost of medicines is really very low.
It's not just the specific drugs for lung cancer, but the production costs of many drugs are very low.
The cost of many medicines is only a few dollars, and the cost of a drug that costs thousands of dollars per pill may be only a few cents.
Sometimes the cost of drug packaging is higher than the cost of the drug itself.
Because most of the raw materials for medicines are very cheap, and the current industrial costs are extremely low, the cost of a box of medicine is naturally very low.
However, the expensiveness of a box of medicine that costs thousands or tens of thousands of dollars is not the cost of the medicine itself, but the cost of research and development of the medicine.
The cost of the second pill may only be a few dollars.
But the production cost of the first drug may be as high as $10 billion, $20 billion, or even more.
It is this extremely high R&D investment that keeps the cost of drugs high. Coupled with the company's marketing expenses, the cost is further increased.
Therefore, a coin that costs a few dollars can be sold for dozens, hundreds, or even thousands or tens of thousands.
The cost of the medicine is cheap, but that doesn't prevent it from being very high.
It seems contradictory, but it is not.
However, Chen Xuan’s lung cancer special medicine does not need to be calculated into R&D investment for the time being, which makes the cost appear very low.
Based on this cost, the profit margin in the Chinese market is as high as 98%, and in overseas markets it directly reaches over 99%.
In other words, this deposit alone has recovered the total production cost for the year, with extra profit left.
According to this profit,
Antai Pharmaceutical Group not only generates revenue, but has also begun to make profits.
This is the salary and benefits offered by Antai Pharmaceutical Group, which far exceeds those of its peers, resulting in consistently higher labor costs. If the company were to follow the peer average, its profit margin could be slightly higher.
Of course, for Chen Xuan, the current profit margin is enough.
There is no need to reduce employees' income in order to increase profits.
Money is a good thing, but it is also a double-edged sword.
If you can't bear to give up this thing, how can you hire talented people?
His consistent standard is to attract talents with high income.
This is the main reason why Antai Pharmaceutical Group is so competitive.
Only when there is enough money can people work hard. This is an unchanging truth since ancient times.
"I'm going to take a look at the factory."
Chen Xuan stood up and wanted to find out about the production situation.
Hearing this, Luo Shiyun nodded and followed him out.
……
In a moment, the two arrived at the production base.
Antai Pharmaceutical Group's production base is very complete and has the most advanced production line in the world.
Every production link is very strict, and no problems with production quality or production safety are allowed.
The group is the most strict in terms of safety and quality, and production volume comes second, so safety and quality will not be affected by production volume.
Of course, the employees of Antai Pharmaceutical Group have high incomes, so even if the standards are very strict, the employees will comply with them instead of being perfunctory.
For the sake of money, there is absolutely no problem with high standards. Everyone can accept it and will consciously achieve it.
Although some people may not be able to do it, they will soon be eliminated and will not be able to continue working here. Those who can stay are all elites.
After arriving at the factory,
Chen Xuan and Luo Shiyun first changed into professional dust-free suits and then disinfected themselves.
This is done on the one hand to protect themselves, and on the other hand to ensure that the drugs will not be contaminated during the production process.
After the two entered, they did not disturb others, nor did they ask the employees to stop their work.
The two men were also wearing cleanroom suits, so they were not recognized. At most, they were thought to be leaders who came for inspection.
Professional inspectors are arranged at each production link to conduct various random inspections. This is not only to check the drugs, but also to check whether the employees comply with the rules and regulations.
So, even if Chen Xuan and Luo Shiyun came in, no one else took them too seriously.
If these employees knew that the big boss came to the production line in person, it would probably cause a big sensation and affect normal production.
Chen Xuan was very satisfied with this scene.
Because only in this way can we see their usual performance, which is their truest side.
When Chen Xuan arrived at the first production link,
Every employee worked in an orderly manner and everything seemed to be in order.
In fact, this production base was not put into use just yet.
Not to mention the former Yang Group, which produced a lot of medicines here and was already familiar with the process.
In addition, today is the day when the lung cancer drug is officially launched on the market, but it does not mean it is the first day of production.
As long as the lung cancer specific drug has been produced before it is approved for market, a lot of it would have been produced. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to deliver it so quickly.
Now that they are on the market, we can arrange to deliver these stocks.
Therefore, after producing so many effective drugs for lung cancer, the employees are naturally very skilled and there will be no problems.
Chen Xuan was not here to inspect the employees. In fact, he was just taking a look.
The main purpose of his coming here is to sample the drugs here. He will check the drugs in every production link.
