Chapter 501 - 337 Try (Five in One)_2
"Miss Olissa."
Olissa didn’t look at Zheng Xi; instead, she turned to Su Ming with a gentle smile and said,
"Officer, I think there must be some misunderstanding about the incident just now."
"Misunderstanding? I feel that this matter isn’t as simple as a misunderstanding. Let’s not even talk about the slanders made by your people; just the prices of these drugs alone, don’t you think they are too expensive?"
"Officer, regarding the prices of the drugs, I ask for your understanding. We are aware that our prices are slightly higher than within the Federation, but you must know, we do business by ship, taking on great risks, and incurring substantial human resources costs."
"I know all about what you’ve mentioned. If you only raised the prices appropriately—by one or two times, say—I wouldn’t comment further. But you’ve raised the prices of these drugs to more than five times their original cost!"
"Officer, you might not be fully aware, but the Federation’s pricing on drugs is extremely low. Given the environmental degradation, medication is very scarce, and their cultivation is incredibly difficult. Our company has invested a huge amount of capital to cultivate these drugs."
"If someone else were saying this, I might believe it. But I’m well aware of the facts, and they aren’t as you describe. The so-called costs and prices are all marked up after the Vox Biotechnology Company’s monopolization! I’m well aware that Vox Biotechnology Company has the confidence to set these prices and isn’t worried about failing to sell them."
"But let me remind you of something, it’s wartime now, and selling at such high prices will only lead to the death of soldiers who fight bravely. One day, the conflict will intensify thoroughly. When that time comes, it will not be about making or losing money but whether you can even stand your ground. Your current actions amount to cutting off your escape routes."
Su Ming simply didn’t believe Olissa’s words; after all, Mia had exposed Vox Biotechnology Company’s true colors right in front of them.
