Penny separated domestic orders from foreign ones. The production line of the two had begun at different pharmaceutical factories.
The domestic price of Q-Than was subsidized; there was a subsidy of up to 90% for poor families. The cost of Q-Than purchased by local, indigent patients was not much more expensive than any other ordinary drugs.
Penny's goal was to make Q-Than affordable for domestic destitute patients so that they can be cured, even if it meant running Cross Group at a loss.
However, the exported cost of Q-Than by the company to foreign countries was expensive. It was priced at 10,000 per box.
It was reasonable, as the imported drugs from foreign countries were pretty pricey. For example, special drugs for leukemia could cost up to tens of thousands per box.
That being the case, the special meds' exported price to foreign countries at
10,000 a box was considered cheap.
In fact, to be cured of liver cancer with just tens or even hundreds of thousands was a dream come true for many foreign patients. Forthat reason alone, many were eagerly waiting for Q-Than to be exported to their countries.
It was not seen as a costly item to them. To regain a healthy body with just tens or hundreds of thousands was a steal!
Penny's strategy was to make more money in foreign markets to make up for losses in the domestic market so that she could help more liver cancer patients locally and abroad.
The Cross Group's stock price hit the upper limit of the day once Q-Than was successfully on sale officially and received innumerable orders.
The Cross Group's stocks had a high chance of hitting trillions in sales.
Penny's net worth doubled, and her company officially become the leading pharmaceutical company in the country. It instantly became an empire no one could shake.
Nathan and Penny returned to their hometown and paid their respects to his parents buried in Tiverton Mountain. It was a fulfilment of Zayn's wish before his death.
The next day, the two of them set off to return to Channing of the South.
As soon as Nathan and his entourage returned to Channing, they received a distress call from Benson, his father-in-law.
"Nathan, we're in trouble!" Benson's voice sounded anxious through the phone. His mother-in-law, Leah, could be heard crying in the background.
