Chapter 722 Sky-high research expenses! 300 billion!
It has only been four months since the World Championship was launched.
The vast majority of contestants spend about 2 billion yuan, and the funds applied for a few high-end fields or high-tech research projects may be around 5 billion yuan.
However……
Xu Qiu's expenses are increasing in 100 million yuan every day, and nearly one billion berry yuan was spent in the first week.
At that time, the competition committee discovered this abnormality. At the same time, other contestants only spent 100 million or 200 million, and Xu Qiu was almost ten times theirs!
However, out of their importance to Xu Qiu, they acquiesced to this behavior.
Later, the funds became more and more exaggerated. The total cost of 5.2 billion in the first month was 6.3 billion in the second month, and 5.6 billion in the third month. The most amazing cost of this fourth month was 7.9 billion!
Xu Qiu stayed at the scientific research base for one month, which is equivalent to the total project expenditure of several contestants combined!
“Do you want to stop supply?”
"This kind of expense is too terrifying. He thinks he doesn't have to pay, so he is unscrupulous?"
"I heard that the research and development of seven-star films cost only 5 billion Da Xia coins, which is only about 700 million berry yuan. Seven-star films can be developed in five months. What kind of project he does can cost 500 million berry yuan in one month!"
"Sure enough, I have never seen the world. I will squander it if I don't have to bear the cost!"
"It's okay, continue to provide him with financial support!"
"The project was not successful, and all the scientific research funds will be paid by his own country. This is Xu Qiu's first time participating in the competition. He definitely doesn't know this, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a big deal!"
"When Daxia sees Xu Qiu's wasted bills at the scientific research base, he will probably feel heartbroken?"
"Yes, this is an excellent opportunity! If there is a rift between Daxia and Xu Qiu, the possibility of Xu Qiu turning against him will be greater!"
Dean Miaoyou, the head of the Medical Alliance and others all lit up their eyes.
The annual scientific research funding of Daxia is only 3 trillion yuan. According to Xu Qiu's cash sales rate, in six months, it can spend nearly 40 billion berry yuan, which is about 280 billion yuan to convert into Daxia coins!
It is almost one-tenth of the annual total funding of Daxia!
If Daxia saw this bill, she would probably be so angry that she vomited blood!
Even if the seven-star film is really successful, it is very likely that it may not be able to earn back the 280 billion yuan in a 20-year patent protection period...
"The more you use, the better!" Dean Miaoyou and others smiled.
Since you dare to regard the Berynn as the sucker for the feasibility of the experimental project... you must be prepared to bear the consequences!
...
This matter was very involved and soon reached the ears of the senior officials of Daxia.
This time, the Ministry of Finance held an emergency meeting.
The Minister of Finance's face was almost scared.
Is this the speed of burning money that people can achieve? If you really burn money, throwing a handful of money into the fire every second may not necessarily keep up with this speed!
The scientific research institutes of several universities add up, and the total amount of all scientific research projects is not as terrifying as Xu Qiu!
"If you really want to use this, the six-month World Championship will leave us a sky-high bill of nearly 300 billion yuan!" The Minister of Finance was really panicked.
How could he be brought to the water in a world competition?
It’s obviously just a competition of medical technology, but why is there a risk of a fiscal deficit now?
The Minister of Health was sweating on his forehead. He wiped his face and said repeatedly: "Be calm first, be calm first..."
If he could use his influence to block other people's interference with Xu Qiu, then this time he would be completely helpless.
Three hundred billion!
The annual scientific research expenditure of Daxia is only about 3 trillion yuan, and one-tenth of it was consumed by Xu Qiu. Where did Daxia get so much money?
"I've calculated..."
The Minister of Finance took out a report and said: "Xu Qiu's current industry is mainly small blood vessels in the sea. This product can make about 10 billion yuan in profits every year. It may only be one or two billion yuan distributed to Xu Qiu.
"By relying on the small blood vessels in Linhai, he will earn more than a hundred years of these 300 billion yuan.
"If the seven-star tablets can also go to the market, they will be sold according to the price of generic drugs such as liver drugs such as sorafenib, and the price is between 1,500 and 5,500 yuan, and a profit of 100 billion yuan per year. However, the price he stipulates is 57 yuan..."
In fact, judging from the data shown in the preliminary clinical trials of Seven Star Film, its pricing, set at over 10,000 yuan, can sell an excellent sales volume.
The price of original liver medicine is more than 1,000 yuan, and the price of generic medicine is between 1,000 and 7,000 yuan... This is almost a hidden rule in the industry.
Below this price, the return cycle of original drugs is too long, and generic drugs cannot make much profit, and neither type of drugs can survive.
However, who would have thought that Xu Qiu had developed a seven-star tablet to fight against Gan Anning, which unexpectedly achieved the effect of sorafenib, but the pricing was still comparable to that of Gan Anning!
"what to do?"
At this time, everyone seemed a little annoyed after listening to the summary by the Minister of Finance.
The 5 billion yuan at the beginning was not a small amount. Two ministerial officials, including the Minister of Health and Director of the Health Commission, came forward to guarantee. Now, the 300 billion yuan is probably difficult for all ministers to nod, and it is difficult to raise it in a short time!
The discussion quickly came to a deadlock.
A bill of 300 billion is not something that can be fooled by the Minister of Health or Academician Tong, or the Director of the Health Commission, in just a few words.
If you really have to take it, although Daxia will not be damaged, the finances in the scientific research field will be extremely tight, and most of the projects will be cut off, which will affect the scientific research of a country and countless researchers!
Even vocational rank promotions in colleges and universities and innovation in academic circles will stagnate. One step behind may be one step behind!
"My suggestion is to immediately interrupt research!" said the Minister of Finance in a deep voice.
"No one can bear this responsibility. This is a bet on the financial funds of all universities and research institutions across the country!"
"I can't think of any research project that costs 300 billion yuan! Even if you study controlled nuclear fusion, the cost will be only this for a few years..."
Seeing that research was about to be forced to be interrupted, Academician Tong suddenly slapped the table, and a convincing voice sounded: "Why don't you ask Xu Qiu, where has his money been spent?"
To be honest, even Academician Tong couldn't think of any scientific research project that could burn money to this level!
Even if they give 300 billion to anyone present, they may not be able to spend it within half a year.
"Yes, ask Xu Qiu for his opinion." The Minister of Health immediately agreed... Although he also found it outrageous, he prefers to trust Xu Qiu.
If scientific research fails, the cost shall be borne by the country where they are located. Xu Qiu is clear about this rule.
But he chose to do this!
Then there must be a reason.
Xu Qiu's behavior has never been predictable. This is the case with the surgical competition that beat Omid to win full marks, and the same is true for subsequent small project competitions. This time, the 300 billion scientific research expenses may just be they can't understand!
"I'm worried about something even more terrible." Suddenly, the Minister of Foreign Affairs glanced at everyone with a faint smile, his voice turned cold.
