"Mr. Wei, the sales situation of portable monitors in overseas markets is very unsatisfactory. This is all my fault."
Lu Tingfeng sat opposite Wei Kang, reporting on his work with a very ashamed expression.
He originally boasted that he would sell this product to major hospitals around the world in Haikou, but when he actually opened up the market, he found that the situation was different from what he had imagined.
"Mr. Wei, I say this not to shirk responsibility, but it is true that the demand for this product in overseas hospitals is not as great as in China. The main reason is that foreign patients are more observant. Those who do not abide by the rules are taught by the iron fist of hospital security. So they don’t have the pain points of some domestic hospitals.”
"There is another reason for the price. Our products are indeed relatively expensive abroad. Compared with Mindray's low-end monitors, our competitive advantage is not great. High-end specialist monitors are more professional than us. @ essence \/Bookstore*First update~~”
"Foreign hospitals are all private institutions that are responsible for their own profits and losses. They pay more attention to profits and save on various expenses. If every patient is equipped with a portable monitor, it will be a huge purchase expense, so unless it is a necessary investment, They feel there is no need to spend more money on other things that are dispensable.”
"Furthermore, foreign doctors have a relatively high status, are older, and are relatively conservative. They are accustomed to using some equipment and do not have much motivation to change. Medical devices are not like drugs. The users are doctors, not patients. Even if patients like our products and find them convenient and easy to use, they have little say.”
"So portable monitors are currently only used in high-end wards in some hospitals, in very small quantities. They are mainly used to improve patients' hospitalization experience and make them feel that their money is well spent."
"For this reason, high-end nursing homes at home and abroad, as well as domestic nursing centers, these medical institutions that focus on customer experience are happy to use our equipment and have purchased a batch."
"Other than that, there is no overseas market."
After Lu Tingfeng finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at the boss.
Wei Kang mused: "This is not your fault. Who would have thought that the pain point for domestic hospitals to buy this thing is the doctor-patient relationship."
"Portable monitors are indeed not that urgently needed for foreign hospitals. The main reason is that we sell them more expensively, so it is a bit difficult to keep up. If the price is domestic, I believe it will be very popular."
"But this is not necessary. Sanqing Equipment wants to build a high-end brand and compete with foreign equipment giants for the high-end market. This brand image is very important. If it is sold too cheap, it will not be good."
"It would be good to leave the low-end market to Mindray. They are already doing very well. There is no need for us to kill each other and let people like GE, Siemens, and Johnson & Johnson laugh."
"But you just said that this thing is very popular with patients?"
Lu Tingfeng nodded: "Yes, how can I put it this way? Patients feel very good about using the portable monitor. When we did after-sales research, every patient who used it gave positive reviews, saying it was better than the one in the hospital. The monitor is much easier to use and extremely convenient. Even if you fall on the toilet, it will automatically alarm you, so you don’t have to worry anymore.”
Wei Kang's heart moved and he couldn't help but laugh: "Then it seems we can consider developing it for civilian use."
Lu Tingfeng was stunned for a moment and said with great joy: "Mr. Wei, you are absolutely right. There are ready-made monitors in overseas hospitals, so there is not much demand for this thing. However, patients do not have monitors at home. If it is decentralized to civilian use, The market is very broad, and this can make more money than selling to hospitals."
Wei Kang smiled and said, "Yes, last time we cooperated with a mobile phone manufacturer, the smart watch we launched was very popular. It's been more than a year now, and it's time for product upgrades."
"I'll leave this to you."
Lu Tingfeng swept away his depression, immediately perked up, and agreed with great enthusiasm.
"No problem, Mr. Wei, I will give you a satisfactory answer next year."
Looking at Lu Tingfeng's leaving figure, Wei Kang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He suddenly remembered that Sanqing Instruments currently only has two products. Although they are both popular, they are both civilian products and seem to be far from professional.
What a pity, he originally wanted to conquer major hospitals around the world and compete with the equipment giants for the high-end market.
The result has been in the civilian field, which is different from his original. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 389 System Upgrade
The grand plans and aspirations we had set seemed to be running counter to each other and getting further and further away.
He is someone who wants to overthrow the equipment giants, squeeze out the moisture in equipment, and reduce medical costs.
This is his original intention so that patients no longer have to endure the high cost of examinations.
As a result, smart watches are being sold every day, and they are nowhere to be found.
Wei Kang's mouth twitched, he couldn't help but cover his face, and asked the sky speechlessly.
At this moment, there was a "ding!"
A familiar and long-lost voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
It turned out to be a system reminder.
"Ding! The host points have reached hundreds of millions, please check as soon as possible."
Wei Kang scratched his head in embarrassment, blaming himself. Every time he got busy, he forgot all about the system and didn't even bother to check his points.
The system was so anxious that I couldn't help but remind myself aloud.
He was about to open the system panel and check the panel data.
Suddenly, a second voice sounded again.
"Ding! The host developed its own medicine and successfully eliminated an infectious disease with global hazards, meeting the upgrade conditions."
"Ding! The system will be upgraded to an intermediate medical system, opening other functions besides extraction, and rewarding the host with a sure-win lottery opportunity."
"Ding! After the host receives the reward, the system will immediately start upgrading. After the host's country has completely eradicated the vicious infectious disease, the system will be successfully upgraded and new functions will be restarted. Please stay tuned."
The good news brought by these three consecutive dings instantly shocked Wei Kang's brain and made him feel dizzy.
"What? Can the system be upgraded?"
He immediately remembered that when he first got this system, he seemed to have mentioned that it was a primary medical system, so there would naturally be intermediate, advanced and other advanced systems. After meeting the conditions, the system could be upgraded, which was naturally very reasonable. .
Wei Kang couldn't help but nodded and thought carefully about the system prompts.
“It turns out that in order for the system to be upgraded to an intermediate medical system, two conditions must be met.”
"One is to have hundreds of millions of points, and the other is to be able to develop new drugs on his own and completely eliminate a global disease. _o_m "
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized.
The previous anti-cancer drugs and AD specific drugs were provided by the system and were not developed by him.
Although the cranial nerve regeneration factor was independently developed, it is, after all, a neurodegenerative disease caused by aging. There is no guarantee that the patient will not relapse in the future, so it cannot be completely eradicated.
Other drugs are similar to this. Even genetic agents for treating rare diseases and other self-developed new drugs cannot meet the conditions.
First of all, many diseases are not fatal. Secondly, the number of patients is not large and cannot reach the level of global epidemic. Finally, these diseases have not been completely eradicated. There will still be people in the world suffering from cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and various other diseases. Genetic diseases.
After much deliberation, only AIDS cure drugs qualify.
When AIDS first appeared, it was a terminal disease that could lead to death quickly. Later, although technology developed and it became a chronic disease, it still cannot change the basic properties of a terminal disease, because if it is not treated with medicine, the patient will still die quickly.
Then the disease ravaged the world, and the infection rate was very high. Even with the efforts of various countries to prevent and control the disease, there were still hundreds of thousands of new patients every year.
The genetic medicine developed by Sanqing can cure each patient with just one injection, which can indeed completely eradicate this disease from the earth.
After thinking about this clearly, Wei Kang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead. It seemed that this was the system's qualification test for the host.
Probably this is to prevent the host from being indifferent and making money by extracting drugs through the system without working hard to improve self-developed technology.
If you encounter this kind of host, 80% of the system can only stay in the primary stage and cannot enable more advanced functions.
"Fortunately, I have never given up on research and development." Wei Kang was immediately grateful.
"Eradicating AIDS comes from my original intention, but I didn't expect such a harvest. It seems that this system is very suitable for me, and everything is destined to belong to me. Haha."
"To meet this condition, it is estimated that we can only eliminate various viruses. Only viruses can cause global infectious diseases and cause huge harm to mankind. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 389 System Upgrade
At the same time, drugs can be developed to eliminate the damage. If it is a disease of the human body, it is really difficult to completely eliminate it. "
"Throughout the entire history of human diseases, only viral and bacterial infectious diseases can be completely eradicated by humans."
"In addition to AIDS, there are also hepatitis C, hepatitis B, influenza, tuberculosis, etc. I am a blind cat that has hit a dead mouse."
"No, if I didn't care about the world, I wouldn't have invested in this, and I wouldn't have met the upgrade conditions."
"It is indeed a medical system. Treating diseases and saving talents is indeed its core logic."
“Everything, including points, extraction functions, and upgrade conditions, are all centered around this underlying logic.”
"Grasp this, and you will naturally laugh all the way to the end."
Wei Kang was determined. From this point of view, as long as he sticks to his original intention, it will be fine.
He opened the system panel and found that all data and extraction functions had turned gray and could no longer be used.
Only the lottery function has not changed, it is the same as usual.
"By the way, the system gave me a guaranteed lottery chance."
Wei Kang thought of this and showed a satisfied smile.
He has not forgotten how cheating the lottery function of this system is. Last time he drew a hundred times before winning a body monitor, which almost gave him a psychological shadow.
So, Wei Kang rubbed his hands expectantly and spoke impatiently.
"System, start the lottery now!"
As if the system had been waiting for this moment for a long time, a window shining with colorful lights immediately popped up, and the prompt information above was flashing.
"Ding! The lottery is in progress, please wait!"
Wei Kang waited patiently for the results.
The system window turned into a starry sky and disappeared, and then a familiar colorful rotating roulette wheel appeared, with each wheel corresponding to a prize of a color.
The roulette wheel quickly spun so fast that he was dazzled.
At the same time, a countdown mark appears above the roulette wheel.
"10, 9, 8, 7..."
Wei Kang watched the lottery in a happy mood, with a vague expectation in his heart. He would definitely win the lottery, which sounded awesome at first glance.
So what prize will be drawn?
He had already drawn gold and silver prizes.
This time, will it be one of the three remaining colors?
White? black? color?
The answer will be revealed soon, which is really exciting.
"6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
The last second passed.
The colorful roulette wheel turned into starlight and disappeared completely.
What appeared in front of me was a small, radiant silver box.
The small box is silver-white in color and crystal clear, as if made of steel, reflecting the dazzling metallic light.
As always, it looks outstanding, very high-end, and very expensive at first glance.
"Ah, it's actually a silver prize."
"It's a pity, I still don't know what the white, black and colored prizes will be."
He had already drawn the silver prize once, and this was the second time. He was excited, but not much.
"System, open the box and let me see what the prize is."
The silver box opened in response, and a drawing slowly rose and appeared in front of him.
Wei Kang widened his eyes, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
Sure enough, the things painted on it are still industrial design drawings.
Fortunately, it is still a medical device and one that is widely used.
"Portable color ultrasound! It's actually this thing."
A wave of joy surged into his heart, and Wei Kang habitually asked the system.
Relevant explanatory information immediately appears above the drawing.
Prize: Portable color ultrasound system
Color: silver
Category: Auxiliary tools
Level: None
Development: medical device direction
Function: Four-dimensional ultrasound diagnosis, which can collect blood flow movement, tissue movement information and human organ tissue imaging
Looking at the explanation information that emerged, Wei Kang suddenly became energetic. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 389 System Upgrade
A jolt.
The prize turned out to be a portable 4D color ultrasound instrument, and it was a design drawing of the finished product. Unlike before, he was only given a core module and had to design the appearance of the product himself.
However, this product design drawing is mainly a main probe, which combines the functions of linear array probes, convex array probes, volume probes and other commonly used probes, and is all-in-one.
There are also several auxiliary probes that can be used together, such as cavity probes, intracavity probes, rectal probes, etc., which can be directly installed on the main probe.
The main probe integrates ultrasonic transmitting/receiving, signal processing, wireless charging, data storage and transmission functions. It is very small and exquisite, easy to hold, and can also adjust the angle and perform touch operation, which is very flexible.
There is also a small display screen at the rear that displays battery, status, operation and other information.
However, there are no supporting image displays, wireless chargers, and professional software. It is estimated that Sanqing will solve the problem on its own.
Even so, Wei Kang could be seen breathing heavily and his heart was racing.
Sure enough, the products produced by the system must be high-quality products.
Although it may be due to the primary medical system, there is nothing earth-shattering, black technology that spans the ages, and the things it provides are not much beyond the current technology, but there are extraordinary optimizations and improvements.
At least this portability and accuracy are not achievable with current technology.
Before, he was lamenting that he could only get household medical equipment, but the system immediately slapped him in the face and gave him a professional-grade color ultrasound machine.
It was like timely rain and timely help, I really understand him so well.
He is increasingly looking forward to the performance of the system after it is successfully upgraded.
The silver box turned into dots of light and disappeared.
Wei Kang put away the drawings and quickly scanned them into the computer. .
