Since 1981 Health School - Chapter 426
Chapter 426 Go to Japan for help
Although Chen Qi does not have a United Nations passport like Papa Ma, he can travel to all countries without hindrance.
But because he is the director of two international medical associations, he is regarded as an internationally renowned medical scientist (although this director often does not work properly)
At the same time, he has the endorsement of the Japanese Nipro Medical Equipment Company, so it is very easy for him to get a business visa to Japan. It is estimated that the Japanese side would like Chen Qi to be naturalized directly.
I got the visa at the Japanese Consulate the day before, and Masako Chie from Nipro Company bought the plane ticket for Chen Qi the next day, and arrived at Haneda Airport in more than 2 hours.
This is the first time for two generations of Chen Qi to come to this country that people love and hate.
What is hated is the hatred of the family and the country. The blood of tens of millions of compatriots cannot be abandoned with an apology, let alone they have never apologized.
What I love is private enjoyment. For ordinary people, Japanese electrical appliances, cosmetics, and medicines, including later automobiles and motorcycles, are all high-end goods, and they are flocking to them.
Even children in Huaguo watched mostly Japanese cartoons when they were young. From “Astro Boy” to “Doraemon” later, it has influenced several generations of children.
When I reached adolescence, I watched Japanese “action romance movies”. Generations of female teachers have educated generations of Chinese boys…
For enterprises, Japanese industrial equipment, product technology, and even enterprise management require Huaguo enterprises to study carefully.
For Chen Qi, since Japan has something worth learning from, we should learn from their technical level and attitude towards work.
Work hard to build our own country, let our country become one of the most powerful countries in the world, and become a hegemony in East Asia.
At that time, you don’t care whether it is the US emperor, or the little days, or the Bangzi country, you can bully them as you want, and you can beat them as you want.
Strength comes first. What’s the point of protesting violently all day long? The international order is established by rogue states based on their own strength.
It is better to say that it is the order of the United States and Britain than the international order.
Qianhui Masako and the driver had already been waiting at the airport early. When they saw Chen Qi coming out alone, they hurriedly greeted him, and then bowed deeply.
“Doctor Chen, you have worked hard all the way.”
Bowing, the professional attire and skirt on her body were all tightened, revealing Chie Masako’s curves without a doubt. This is a woman with capital, no wonder she can be a “medical representative”.
“I’m very sorry for keeping Miss Masako waiting.”
The two got into a commercial vehicle politely. Not long after getting into the car, Chie Masako introduced:
“Dr. Chen, I have already contacted a genetic testing laboratory named SYSMEX Co., Ltd. They promised to provide genetic technology at the most favorable price. At the same time, they also made an additional request.”
“SYSMEX? Isn’t this the famous Sysmex company in later generations?”
Chen Qi nodded, apparently quite satisfied with this well-known company, “What do they want?”
“SYSMEX company attaches great importance to your research project. Their president asked whether SYSMEX can join your research group. For this, they can not only provide free basic testing, but also give your research group a certain amount of sponsorship.”
As soon as he heard about sponsorship, Chen Qi became interested.
Although he is rich personally, the research group he belongs to has no money.
Minor patients have already spent more than 30,000 yuan, and now Shen Lifen is added. The two people’s scientific research expenses, hospitalization expenses, surgery expenses, drug expenses, etc. add up, which is definitely not a small amount.
The tens of thousands of dollars in 1986, even if shared among the three hospitals, is very difficult. After all, everyone can’t even pay their salaries. How can there be any money for scientific research?
The domestic ones are still small, but the genetic testing in Japan is the big one.
Chromosomal detection of lung cancer in minor patients is already the most basic, and the cost of such a detection has reached 20,000 US dollars.
This time, Chen Qi also brought Shen Lifen’s tissue samples. The gene sequencing and testing of the mother and child is equivalent to a big project. I am afraid that the cost will be tens of thousands of dollars, and it is not impossible to exceed hundreds of thousands.
Some people may think, why is it so expensive? Now it costs only tens of thousands of yuan to do a genetic test. For example, genetic screening for pregnant women may cost several thousand yuan.
The problem is that this is 1986, the era when the biological genetic testing project just started, of course it can only be described as expensive.
This is the same as home appliances. In 1986, a color TV cost three to four thousand, which may be the wages of an ordinary worker for several years.
But when you arrive in 2022, a Xiaomi 50-inch LCD color TV is only 2,000 yuan, and an ordinary worker can buy several sets with a monthly salary.
So the times are different, the price is different, and the clinical significance is also different.
Chen Qi’s topic, the first genetic testing fee was paid by Nipro, but you can’t ask others to pay for it again and again, right?
Chen Qi still has a headache about the cost of genetic testing, and is even prepared to pay for it out of his own pocket.
After all, compared with the possible scientific research results, the $100,000 testing fee is not unacceptable, so let’s just assume that Chen Qi has a good idea and contributes to the country.
Now, when I heard that a genetic testing company offered to sponsor me, not only will I not charge you for the test, but I will also give you another sum of money. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
But there is no free lunch in the world, Chen Qi still needs to be careful.
“Does Sysmex have any requirements? I don’t think they can give money for no reason? What do we need to pay?”
Chie Masako shook her head lightly:
“If you have any specific requirements, the president of Sysmex will talk to you face to face, but I think they will not dare to cheat you with our Nipro company behind you.”
“Okay, then let’s not rush to rest, let’s go to Sysmex first.”
Chie Masako nodded, took out her brick-like mobile phone and started dialing to make an appointment for the two parties to meet.
The commercial vehicle made a turn and sped towards the other direction of downtown Tokyo.
As Chen Qi’s exclusive medical representative, Chie Masako’s current role is equivalent to a secretary, so it is necessary for her to explain the background of Sysmex to Chen Qi clearly so that Chen Qi can have a reference before negotiating.
In 1986, genetic companies were still a novelty in China, but in developed countries, in the eyes of some discerning people, they have long been a golden pastry.
For example, Illumina in the United States, Thermo Fisher Corporation, Cambridge HorizonDiscovery in England, Roche in Switzerland, etc., have all carried out genetic engineering.
There are many companies, and if there is money to be made, there will be competition.
Sysmex Corporation is a new company established under this background. Although it has invested a lot of research funds and purchased a lot of equipment, the hardware is definitely world-class.
It is not enough to have first-class equipment, and it is not easy to fight a way out of the international giants.
Not to mention international competition, even in Japan, Sysmex is not the largest genetic company.
There is also a Japanese National Cancer Center with government background above them, which occupies the largest cake in Japan.
So Sysmex is trying to survive in the cracks. If you are not careful, it may be over when a big wave hits. But for Sysmex’s boss, Takada Yuto, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Because the establishment of the company has already cost him almost 300 million US dollars, if it loses all, it is not something he and the small consortium behind him can afford.
In the 1980s, genetic testing companies mainly served hospitals and medical scientific research institutions, and they also wanted to please these people, but these people have long been included in the accounts of giant companies.
But now Sysmex is facing the same dilemma as Sweden’s Aslila.
That is, there are no good cooperative hospitals, no top experts and professors, and lack of popularity in the industry. If you are not famous, you will not be able to receive large orders. This is a vicious circle.
The tall man who urgently needs to squeeze into the medical circle, when he learned that the company had received a commission from Huaguo, his eyes lit up.
What is a hero?
Xiaoxiong is a person who can discover business opportunities that others cannot, grasp opportunities that others cannot grasp, and dare to stud in the face of an unknown opportunity.
After all, neonatal pneumonia is a rare disease in the world, with a possibility of one in a million.
Cancer cells may be transmitted from mother to child. There is absolutely no relevant report in the world. It can be said that the team of doctors in Huaguo was the first to propose this concept.
If this inference is finally confirmed through genetic testing, then this will point out another new direction for the genetic testing industry.
At the same time, the companies involved in this genetic testing project will also receive widespread attention.
Isn’t this the best advertisement.
And Takada Yuto also keenly knew that fortunately this subject was only for Huaguo. If it was the first time in Japan, then it would not be their turn for Sysmex to do this test.
I believe that European and American countries will be very interested in this topic, and will even grab this topic from their peers at all costs.
Sitting in the office, Takada Yuto said to the secretary with emotion:
“It’s really lucky, this project was discovered by us, and we will become a partner of the Huaguo research group at all costs.”
The secretary stood by, still doubtful:
“But the president, Huaguo is so poor and backward, are they really capable of doing these advanced subjects? Could this be an academic fraud?”
Yuto Takada smiled lightly:
“What you said is entirely possible, but so what? What if it is true? Then didn’t we let go of a great opportunity? Besides, even if it is a fake subject, how much do we lose? It’s just a few It’s just the cost of one test.”
When the secretary heard this, he suddenly realized, and shouted in surprise:
“Sure enough, the president is wise. He sees farther and thinks more thoroughly. I am so impressed!”
Yuto Takada laughed so hard that his molars were almost exposed:
“You, hurry up and meet Doctor Hua.”
Half an hour later, Chen Qi had already appeared in the office.
Yuto Takada hurriedly came out from behind the desk, and firmly held Chen Qi’s hand. The evidence said exaggeratedly in English:
“Dr. Chen is very welcome to our company. Dr. Chen is really young and promising. He is very remarkable. He has become a director of the International Dual Medical Association and has a bright future.”
Chen Qi knew that this was a business bragging, so he quickly grabbed Takada Yuto’s hand.
This is not holding hands, it is all money, it is US dollars, it is Japanese yen.
“Mr. Takata is young and promising, and you are very discerning. In the era of real estate speculation by the whole people, you dare to invest in such a large genetic testing company now. I believe that Sysmex will definitely become a world-class company in the near future. Gene company, you and your company will definitely make a lot of money.”
Throughout the 1980s, Japan’s real estate bubble was the craziest, and almost all the people were speculating in real estate.
A large number of companies and private individuals not only went bankrupt and invested in the real estate market, but even took loans in a series of loans to speculate in real estate. Finally, after the real estate bubble burst, countless people went to the rooftops.
So Chen Qi’s bragging is not false, but sincere admiration for this unique and extraordinary gene company boss.
Chen Qi’s words scratched Takada Yuto’s itch, so his laughter became brighter, and he pulled Chen Qi to sit on the sofa.
When the Japanese are polite, they are really polite. Of course, when he became ruthless, he was really not human.
After chatting about the weather for a long time, Takada Yuto said:
“Chen Sang, you have also seen the strength of our company. I think we will definitely become your best partner, so I proposed to Ms. Masako that we, Sysmex and your Huaguo side, jointly form a research group. Let’s work together to overcome the worldwide problem of neonatal pneumonia.”
Chen Qi thought that the meat scene was coming, so he quickly sat up straight.
But he is not a businessman after all, and he does not know how to bargain, so he can only say bluntly:
“Thanks to Mr. Takata for his attention. Our project on neonatal pneumonia has reached the final stage. If we can confirm that the child’s cancer cells come from the mother through genetic testing, this will be a worldwide discovery, and textbooks will have to be rewritten.
So I am optimistic that we can cooperate with Sysmex. This will not only expand the influence of Sysmex in genetic engineering, but also help us have more funds to invest in research projects. “
Qianhui Masako quietly touched Chen Qi, meaning don’t rush to agree to him, first listen to the conditions.
But Chen Qi misunderstood it, thinking that the little girl was encouraging him, thinking that what he said was very good.
Yuto Takada heard this, and understood that the Hua Guo doctor in front of him was an honest man with no evil intentions, and for the sake of the future, he didn’t want to do anything wrong.
“Chen Sang, this is how I think about it. No matter how many genetic tests you want to do this time, we can provide them for free. In addition, we can also provide a sponsorship fee of 500,000 US dollars. This money is completely at your disposal. Do a financial audit.
Of course, our requirement is that in future papers, it must be clearly stated that we, SYSMEX Japan, provide a full set of genetic testing, and in various academic conferences in the future, we must mention the name of our SYSMEX company to help promote our SYSMEX. strength.
You, what do you think? “
