Chapter 569 Self-deception

"County Magistrate Zeng, I..."

The cold sweat on Zhang Facheng's head slid down like rain and flowed directly into his eyes. He wiped his sleeves twice, and the sweaty ideas slipped even harder and fell on the floor in the office. Zhang Facheng's face was pale and he didn't know how to explain it.

Zeng Yi pointed out one by one that the cost prices of these drugs were all lower than the winning bid price of this bid. The selling price of drugs was even lower than the manufacturing cost. This kind of thing is completely contrary to common sense. How do you explain it?

Are the bosses of those pharmaceutical companies all philanthropists? Do they say that they do not make money to promote the humanitarian spirit? Or do they do not need R&D expenses or labor fees to make medicines? Everyone in manufacturing companies is living Lei Feng?

Even a fool knows that this kind of thing cannot happen!

But Zhang Facheng turned this impossible thing into reality, and even made it public in the newspapers to publicize and report. This is to treat everyone as fools. If he dares to explain now, he will treat Zeng Yi as a fool.

Facing Zeng Yi who was fully aware of his skills, Zhang Facheng didn't dare to explain it. When he thought of the consequences of annoying Zeng's head shaving, he felt his legs weak, his back spine became cold, and his teeth couldn't help but start a fight with "clog". Then his heart beat wildly. The coronary heart disease that had not occurred for a long time also showed signs of an attack.

Bao Qifan was also shocked by Zeng Yi's actions. In his impression, County Mayor Zeng was always humble and polite, but when he started anger today, he was still scary. When the medicine box fell to the ground, Bao Qifan felt that the entire county government building was trembling.

Zeng Yi glared at Zhang Facheng and scolded, "Zhang Facheng, you have such a big face. It's so big that the company sells medicines at all costs! It's really a pity to let you be a small director. I think you should be a county magistrate and mayor!"

Zhang Facheng trembled all over. His heart was almost jumping out of his throat. He waved his hand quickly and said, "County Magistrate Zeng, no...is not like this..."

Zeng Yi held the newspaper in his hand, shook it hard, then slapped it on the table, and gave it a waist and said, "Zhang Facheng, I really underestimate you. Your medical insurance work is really eye-opening! The medicines on it are either out of stock or none, and half do not exist. The remaining half are still these so-called medicines. This is how you implement the county's instructions. Is it how you protect the lives and health of the people!"

Bao Qifan was also surprised. He didn't expect the problem to be so serious. No wonder the people always have a lot of opinions on the issue of medical treatment. Isn't this fooling people?

Zhang Facheng didn't even dare to shirk responsibility. He had already seen that County Mayor Zeng was an absolute expert, and his professionalism was even far beyond those of the experts from the Provincial Health Department.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Zeng, I was confused for a while. I failed the expectations of the county leaders and the people of the county and did not do a good job in this bidding. But please rest assured that as long as the county leaders give me another chance, I will definitely make active corrections and make up for the mistake I made."

"Don't worry?" Zeng Yi snorted coldly, "How can you reassure the county leaders!"

Zhang Facheng was anxious, and as Zeng Yi said, he was completely disappointed with himself and was about to take him down. He knew in his heart that Zeng Shaved's head was definitely not a joke. He said that he would definitely take down whoever he took, without exception.

Thinking of this, Zhang Facheng's thighs couldn't help but tremble again. He finally survived for more than ten years before becoming the director of the health bureau at the level of the department. If he was really beaten by County Mayor Zeng, then the nearly twenty years of hard work would be wasted and the suffering would be in vain.

"County Magistrate Zeng, I was wrong!" Zhang Facheng suddenly rushed to Zeng Yi's desk, begging for a guarantee, and said, "Three days...just three days. In three days, I will definitely give County Mayor Zeng a satisfactory answer. If you can't do it, you don't need to speak, I will resign from the county party committee on my own! County Mayor Zeng, please believe me again no matter what!"

"Old Zhang, Lao Zhang!" Bao Qifan hurried over and stopped Zhang Facheng. He was really afraid that Zhang Facheng would be impulsive and would cause something else. "Don't be excited, what do you have to say, say it well!"

Zhang Facheng was pulled back by the wind and dragged it back two steps, but he still looked at Zeng Yi, with a plea in his eyes, saying, "County Magistrate Zeng, I promise that I will never let you down this time. Please give me a chance..."

Zeng Yi sat back into the chair with anger, picked up the cup to drink water, took only one sip, and then knocked the cup heavily on the table, looking very angry.

Bao Qifan saw it and pulled Zhang Facheng out and said, "Director Zhang, please go back. County Mayor Zeng has an important meeting."

Zhang Facheng refused to leave and begged: "County Magistrate Zeng, I really don't dare to go against your wishes. I actually have difficulties in the medical insurance bidding..."

"Director Zhang, don't be excited, don't be excited!" Bao Qifan saw that Zhang Facheng was still reluctant to leave, so he added strength under his hands, pulled and pushed Zhang Facheng out of Zeng Yi's office.

"Director Bao, Director Bao!" Zhang Facheng turned to ask Bao Qifan again and said, "You must say something for me. I am not that brave. I really have difficulties..."

Zhang Facheng's posture shocked Liu Xiang outside the door, thinking to himself, what's wrong? He was fine just now, but why did he look for death in a blink of an eye?

Bao Qifan pulled Zhang Facheng's sleeve hard, then stared at him, signaling Zhang Facheng to shut up, then lowered his voice and said blamingly: "Old Zhang, why are you so confused? What's the use of just explaining here? The most important thing at the moment is to seize the time to take measures to make up for this mistake. Do you understand?"

Zhang Facheng was stunned, his face was a little confused, and he thought to himself what it means to wrap the sail.

Bao Qifan pulled Zhang Facheng directly to the stairwell outside and said earnestly: "Old Zhang, I have been following County Mayor Zeng for a while. I dare not say anything else, but there is one thing I can guarantee. Zeng Yi is not such an unreasonable person. As long as he did not make a heinous mistake, County Mayor Zeng would never beat someone to death. However, County Mayor Zeng doesn't like to listen to verbal promises, everything depends on actions, do you understand?"

Zhang Facheng's emotions stabilized. He looked at Bao Qifan and blinked several times before he understood a little. He asked anxiously: "Director Bao, so. County Magistrate Zeng will really give me this opportunity..."

Bao Qifan nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "Go back quickly, don't let County Magistrate Zeng lose his patience."

Zhang Facheng suddenly recovered his energy, nodded quickly, and said, "Director Bao, don't worry, three days, only three days. If I don't get things done this time, I will be sorry to you!"

"Okay, okay!" Bao Qifan waved his hand and said, "Go away quickly. Get your clothes clean!"

Zhang Facheng didn't care about any image issues at this time. He didn't even say anything politely, but went downstairs, stepping over several steps at each step.

Back outside Zeng Yi's office, Liu Xiang asked with concern: "Director Bao, is Director Zhang okay?"

Bao Qifan did not answer this question, and walked straight into the inner room. Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, Bao Qifan suddenly stood up and turned around, came to Liu Xiang, and asked, "What medicine did County Magistrate Zeng ask you to buy today?"

Liu Xiang quickly picked up a new county newspaper from the table, pointed to the public announcement directory above and said, "This, this, and this..." Liu Xiang enclosed all the medicines Zeng Yi wanted to buy himself.

Bao Qifan took the newspaper and read it carefully several times. Like Liu Xiang, he did not find any difference. These were some very common medicines, so he had to collect the newspaper, put it into his own record book, and then pushed the door into Zeng Yi's office.

"Boss, Zhang Facheng is back. He said that he should take measures to make up for the mistakes!" Bao Qifan reported and followed Zeng Yi for a long time. He had indeed thought about Zeng Yi's style of conduct. If Zeng Yi really wanted to take down someone, it would be impossible for him to say hello to you in advance. Today, Zeng Yi could call Zhang Facheng over to give him a lecture. Although he was a little heavier, the purpose was to give Zhang Facheng a chance to correct his mistakes.

Sure enough, Zeng Yi just nodded without saying anything else, and then continued to approve the official documents at his desk.

Bao Qifan saw that Zeng Yi was not in a good mood, so he didn't dare to say anything. He went over and refilled Zeng Yi's cup, then picked up all the medicine thrown on the ground and put it out of Zeng Yi's office.

Back at his office, Bao Qifan took out the county newspaper and thought about it. He stared at the medicines for half an hour. Bao Qifan didn't figure out any tricks. Except for the extremely low price, these medicines were completely incompatible.

Could it be that County Mayor Zeng is just dissatisfied with this medical insurance drug bidding work?

Bao Qifan spread the newspaper onto the table, thinking that it was very possible. County Magistrate Zeng had worked in Beijing Hospital before and was too familiar with the pharmaceutical industry. County Magistrate Zeng could definitely see such obvious things that were contrary to common sense. Since he had seen it, he naturally had to take care of it.

Thinking of this, Bao Qifan collected the newspaper and didn't plan to think about it.

After stacking the newspaper, he put it on the table, Zhuo Qifan pressed it with the notepad, then spread out the notepad, picked up the phone with one hand, and prepared to start working. After dialing the phone number, Zhuo Qifan checked the key points recorded on the notepad, and his eyes swept across the edge of the notepad, and Zhuo Qifan suddenly lit up his eyes.

"Bang!"

Bao Qifan didn't wait for the phone to be answered, but he threw the phone away, then flipped out the notepad, and took the newspaper up.

As soon as he saw it, Bao Qifan showed a sudden enlightenment expression, thinking that County Magistrate Zeng did not get angry by chance, this is targeted!

The newspaper was full of the names of the drugs, prices, and the names of the winning companies. Bao Qifan covered the newspaper with his hand, and the only names of the winning pharmaceutical companies were left. I saw that the name of the company was revealed in the place where I just circled it: Jiatong Laifu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Bao Qifan immediately dug out a "Jitong Daily" from a few days ago. On the front page, there was a report: "Comrade Zhou Zijun, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, visited Laifu Pharmaceutical, affirmed Laifu Pharmaceutical's development achievements in recent years, and encouraged Laifu Pharmaceutical to promote its own successful model throughout the city... In recent years, with the attention and help of the city, Laifu Pharmaceutical has developed rapidly, from a small enterprise that produces erectile scents with an annual output value of only more than 10 million yuan, quickly grew into a leading and nationally renowned comprehensive large pharmaceutical group integrating R&D and sales, with annual sales exceeding 4 billion..."

That's right!

Bao Qifan tapped his finger on this report. Everyone in Jiatong City knew that Laifu Pharmaceutical was an economic star supported by Deputy Mayor Zhou Zijun.

Could it be that County Mayor Zeng is planning to make a fuss about Laifu Pharmaceutical and tear Zhou Zijun's face hard?

Bao Qifan felt that it was very likely that two of the medicines Zeng Yi asked Liu Xiang to buy today were produced by Laifu Pharmaceutical, including the Salvia tablet, which costs at least four yuan. But it costs 90 cents, so there must be problems here.

But I just thought about it again and again, but I couldn't guess what method Zeng Yi was going to use, and I made a fuss about Laifu Pharmaceutical.

After approving the official document, Zeng Yi took a sip of water, stood up and moved his muscles, paced back and forth in the office for two times, and finally sat back into the office chair. He opened a locked drawer below and pulled out a kraft paper document bag from it.

This is the document that Tao Tao handed over to Zeng Yi last time. Because the authenticity of the content is difficult to determine, Zeng Yi only read it once. He threw it into the depths of the drawer. On the top of this document, many things about Laifu Pharmaceutical happened to be mentioned.

Zeng Yi took out the documents from the bag and read the passage about Laifu Pharmaceutical again. Based on his intuition, Zeng Yi judged that the above things were probably true. The bidding result of Fengqing County Health Bureau is a powerful proof.

After reading the documents, Zeng Yi sat there thinking for a long time, then took out his personal cell phone from his pocket, dialed a number, and after dialing, Zeng Yi only said one sentence and said, "Xu Li, come to Dongjiang and help me do something!"

After putting down the phone, Zeng Yi stuffed the document back into the cowhide bag, threw it back into the depths of the drawer, and then leaned against the back of the chair, revealing a solemn expression.

Zeng Yi was under great pressure at this time. This time he was going to do something big. If he failed, the consequences would be very serious and he would even offend the entire city leaders. This would make Zeng Yi unable to move forward in Jiatong City. But Zeng Yi still decided to do it. This was not entirely to attack Zhou Zijun. It was more for the bidding of medical insurance drugs in Fengqing County.

In drug bidding, why are there so many pharmaceutical companies quoting selling prices that are lower than manufacturing costs? Are they really stupid enough to do a loss-making business? This is impossible! Others don’t understand the reason, but Zeng Yi is very clear.

Zhang Facheng said rightly, he did have his own difficulties when the bidding became this result, because this problem does not exist only in Fengqing County, but also in many places across the country, all of which are the results. This result looks very beautiful, as if the people have enjoyed the benefits, but the reality is far from so beautiful.

The people are dissatisfied with the difficulty of seeing a doctor every year, and a document on it requires local governments to find ways to reduce the price of medicine and effectively reduce the burden on seeing a doctor. They even set hard indicators that it must be reduced by 20% this year, another 20% next year, and another year afterwards...

I can only say that the original intention of doing this is good, but this method is not feasible, because medicines have costs and cannot be reduced to an infinite amount. If it is reduced below the cost, the entire industry cannot continue.

Zeng Yi is not the only one who is familiar with the pharmaceutical industry, but why is this impossible method always being implemented?

The reason is actually very simple. Once the annual bidding results come out, judging from the results of the bidding, the drug price will definitely drop again. The leader does not have to pay a penny and will have political achievements. It can explain the calls of the masses and ease the contradictions and pressures. As a commoner, it is impossible to know how much the cost of the drug is. Seeing that the drug price has dropped, I am naturally happy and even think that I can get a advantage when I see a doctor.

The leader is happy and the people are happy, so you don’t have to spend a penny on your own. Of course, everyone likes to do such a happy thing!

This is called "to what he likes", one is willing to fight and the other is willing to endure.

But after being happy, when everyone went to the hospital for treatment, they were prescribed a lot of drugs that were not included in the medical insurance reimbursement. Some people would say that this was the rebate from the doctor who took high-priced drugs and did this on purpose. It is undeniable that some doctors did this, but more out of helplessness, because there are really no low-priced drugs in the hospital's pharmacies, or the efficacy cannot be guaranteed after taking them.

All of them are lower than the cost. Will there be any company producing this kind of medicine? The more it is made, the more you lose! Even if it is made, do you dare to take it? Will the efficacy be guaranteed?

Drug prices are falling year by year, but the problem of difficulty in seeing a doctor still exists, and it is even more and more serious. Facts have proved that reducing the drug price cannot solve the difficulty in seeing a doctor at all. By reducing the drug price to solve the problem of difficulty in seeing a doctor, the result can only be self-deception.

Since it is self-deception, it is not surprising that such a bidding result that is contrary to common sense will occur.

Some companies that come to participate in the medical insurance bidding simply provide assistance, deliberately quoting a low price, and may not produce such medicine at all; some people deliberately quoting a low price to get medical insurance orders to improve the image and status of the company, but they cannot produce the medicines they quoted for the price, so some medicines in the medical insurance catalog are actually in a state of no stock; some are purely unconscience, and they dare to report and make them.

As for those excellent pharmaceutical companies, they cannot quote such low prices or produce such low drugs, so they have to be forced to withdraw from the medical insurance market.

No matter any industry, it is "survival of the fittest", and the side effect of blindly reducing drug prices is "absorbing the best and better".

This matter is obviously contrary to common sense and has caused damage to the entire pharmaceutical industry. Zeng Yi cannot change the practices in other places, but in Fengqing County, he will never allow this!
