All medicines would be sold to Tianzhu for twenty-one U.S. dollars. Tianzhu would then tell the public that the Copper Box price of thirty-nine dollars came with a national subsidy of fifteen dollars per box, bringing the final price down to twenty-four dollars.
In reality, they were not subsidizing a single cent, and they could still make three dollars per box.
However, Great Sage Group had to supervise the sales and distribution of all Silver Box and Gold Box medicines throughout the entire process, with Lu Chengwu in charge.
Great Sage Group would take forty percent of the profits from the high-end medicines.
But then a new problem arose.
Lu Chengwen demanded that all medicines be settled in advance.
In other words, once the goods were shipped from this side, Tianzhu had to transfer the payment for the medicines. Not only that, the forty-percent profit share from the high-end medicines also had to be paid in advance.
That meant that for each box of Gold Box medicine, aside from its base price of twenty-one U.S. dollars, once Tianzhu sold it for fifteen hundred dollars, forty percent of the resulting profit had to be prepaid.
So to take away that box of medicine, they would have to pay around five hundred and seventy dollars.

Tianzhu's Minister of Commerce slammed the table. "You Chinese are utterly unreasonable!"
The President tugged
