The above means that Tian Cai is the person who developed the vaccine, and the task of setting the price is left to her. If General Tian's bid is too low, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will add a little bit to it.
After learning the name of the laboratory interested in purchasing Chinese vaccines, Tian Cai thought for a moment and directly bid, "Ten million."
Before the Foreign Ministry official could say anything, Tian Cai added two more words, "US dollars."
Official: “!”
“…Isn’t that a bit too high?”
Tian Cai raised his lips into a malicious smile. "Just go ahead and negotiate with this price. Isn't negotiation a give-and-take?"
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs official was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Tian Cai continued, "But 10 million US dollars is the minimum standard, there is no upper limit."
Ministry of Foreign Affairs official: “…”
He went back and thought about it over and over again but still couldn't make a decision, so he quoted Tian Cai's price.
The news was passed down layer by layer and soon reached the ears of the top leaders.
He laughed after hearing this and said, "Listen to her and go with this price. You can add a little more when you negotiate!"
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs official had no choice but to go back to the minister with the price. Unexpectedly, when the minister heard his leader say to add a little more, he raised the price directly to 15 million US dollars.
Official: My heart was about to jump out of my chest.
Will a fight break out at the negotiating table?
Tian Cai did not make up the price she offered. After recalling it over and over again during this period of time, she now remembered it.
In the past, probably around 1990, China purchased the American hepatitis B vaccine development methods and technical support for US$7 million.
One can imagine how heavy this price is for a developing China.
But for the safety of hundreds of thousands of people's lives, China gritted its teeth and bought it.
7 million U.S. dollars was a friendly price given by a laboratory in the United States at that time. It can be said that the cost and technology of developing this thing are far more than this price.
But at that time, it was not known whether it was due to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries or the kindness of the laboratory owner, but he sold it to China at a price below cost.
However, several other companies with the same technology have raised their prices very high.
The vast United States is also divided into many factions, and not everyone is kind to China. This can be seen from their constant provocations in later generations.
Tian Cai still remembered the name of this laboratory, but this was not the one that came to buy Chinese vaccines this time, so she offered a high price without hesitation.
At that time, China was the buyer, begging America to sell things to us.
But now the situation has changed and the seller has become China.
Why can’t you offer 10 million US dollars?
If it was that laboratory, Tian Cai would probably give a friendly price, but I don’t know if the laboratory has not been established yet or is still unknown, so they were not there this time.
In Tian Cai's opinion, 10 million US dollars is not a high price. He even regrets that he made a low offer. What if the price can be lowered again after bargaining?
Little did she know that someone had already raised the price for her.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a subject that cannot be learned through rote learning, so Tian Cai and several professors often take students to study in cooperating hospital departments.
Because Tian Cai is in charge of the discipline of acupuncture and massage, she specifically brings students to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Military General Hospital to study.
There is a special acupuncture and massage department here, and most of the patients suffer from diseases such as lumbar muscle strain, shoulder and neck pain.
These chronic diseases cannot be cured in one go, but the disease is not fatal, it just makes people uncomfortable. Everyone still has to work, and they can only go to the Chinese medicine department to relieve the symptoms.
Therefore, it is also the best place for interns to practice.
Thanks to Tian Cai's own reputation, patients were eager to agree when they heard that she was coming to give them a massage, and some even almost fought to get the spot.
In the end, Tian Cai designated the female patient who was closest to her and had not spoken much. After asking about the patient's condition, she asked her to lie down on the bed.
This patient suffered from back pain due to long-term sitting. The patient was relatively young and did not have any lumbar disc or osteoporosis symptoms.
Tian Cai demonstrated and explained to students the eight methods of regulating tendons, or the eight methods of treating tendons.
It is a massage method that mainly opens up the meridians, dredges stagnant qi, eliminates blood stasis and swelling, and enhances the circulation of qi and blood.
Regardless of any treatment, the first thing Maeda Cai would tell them to do was to wash their hands and disinfect them, unless it was an emergency.
Once Tian Cai started, his movements were naturally smooth and effortless.
Whenever she came to an acupuncture point, she would explain it in detail and ask students to ask about the function of this acupuncture point.
This can be considered as a disguised way of helping them review.
As soon as the class was over, Tian Cai was called out.
He is an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with whom I have had dealings.
The hepatitis B vaccine was sold for $12 million after a month of bargaining.
This money has so many uses!
All Chinese people who knew the news were excited and proud.
China's future will only become stronger and stronger!
In addition to purchasing the hepatitis B vaccine, America also wants to buy the lung cancer vaccine.
This request was categorically rejected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Now China's annual export of Lung Cancer Kang has reached a huge number, which brings huge economic benefits to the Chinese military.
They used this money to strengthen their own army and improve the treatment and configuration of the People's Liberation Army.
How could such a treasure chest be sold?
It's not like your brain is rusty.

The students who enrolled in 1978 finally received their diplomas in 1983 after five years of systematic study.
When the military district received the news of their graduation, they came to recruit them immediately. After President Wu had to nod his head, they assigned them to various military hospitals for internship without any delay.
This was the agreement made with the military when Tian Cai was brought in as a professor.
Dean Wu held onto the door frame with trembling hands, regretting it for the thousandth time.
Why did he agree so quickly?
Thinking about the fact that the number of applicants to the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine had increased several times in recent years because of Tian Cai's reputation, Dean Wu felt that he no longer had to tremble.
Never mind, it’s mutually beneficial!
It can also be regarded as providing talents for the motherland.
These students also witnessed how their professor became a general, so they were passionate about becoming a qualified military doctor.
