"The killing of chickens in my memory doesn't seem to be like this."

Wei Kang looked at the fragrant and steaming pot of chicken soup on the table and murmured to himself.

"Oh, what do you think killing a chicken should be like?"

Wei Kang waved his kuaizi and gestured: "I remember when I was a child, when my mother was killing a chicken, she had to let my father grab the feet. She grabbed the head and then stabbed it down. The chicken blood spurted out and sprayed everywhere in the kitchen. Yes, half the wall is stained red and it will take a long time to wash."

"That's it, she may not be able to kill the chicken. The half-dead chicken, with blood in its throat, is clucking and screaming on the kitchen floor, and is still struggling to jump up and down. It makes the whole family very noisy. It was a big shadow in my childhood."

"How could it be so easy for you? When I was a kid, did my mother kill all fake chickens?"

Jian Lian Yun smiled and said, "Look, I scared the child so much that even killing the chicken has the shadow of his childhood."

She picked up a chicken leg and put it in Wei Kang's bowl: "Here, try it and see if it's different from the chicken bought in the supermarket?"

This is a piece of chicken thigh. The meat is plump and has a golden luster. It is very elastic when you poke it lightly with a tachyon.

Wei Kang exerted a slight force on his finger, and the tachyon penetrated deeply, and a stream of juice gushed out, moistening the rice grains and dyeing it a slightly yellow color.

He opened his mouth and took a bite, only to feel that his tongue was so fresh that he swallowed it whole.

Jian Lian Yun's eyes were filled with smiles and she handed another bowl of chicken soup to his hand.

In the translucent bone china bowl, the chicken soup is clear, with a layer of moist oil floating on it. A few fat red dates are shaking precariously in the soup, and the aroma is so fragrant that it makes people move their index fingers.

Wei Kang emptied the chicken drumsticks from his mouth in a few licks, picked up the chicken soup, took a sip, and was immediately full of praise.

He drank it all in one gulp, then put down the bowl and let out a long breath.

"It's so delicious. Wife, your craftsmanship is really amazing!"

Wei Kang gave a thumbs up: "This stewed chicken is a perfect match, it's wonderful."

Jian Jian Yun smiled with satisfaction, and then Kuai Zi started eating by himself.

Although she originally liked cooking, seeing her husband eating so deliciously still gave her an inexplicable pleasure.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether this was the glory of motherhood or the joy of raising pigs.

This meal made Wei Kang's mouth water and his eyebrows dance with joy: "This free-range chicken really tastes good, I have to have it every week from now on."

"The pigs will be released soon. Then we won't have to go to the supermarket to buy meat."

"This meat is safe to eat if you raise it yourself."

Jian Jian Yun nodded, quickly put away the dishes, and quickly threw them into the dishwasher.

"Indeed, it's clean and safe. Even the two of us, plus my parents, can't eat so much. A pig would probably have to eat it for a month."

Wei Kang waved his hand, stood at the door of the kitchen, and explained while picking his teeth.

"Not all of it is for our own consumption. When the pork is released in batches, we will open an organic food section so that everyone can eat healthier. The excess meat can also be sold in limited quantities in the canteen, which is considered a company benefit."

"Our breeding farm is not big, just a few hundred pigs, which is enough for the internal staff to eat."

"You don't have to spend too much money. You can not only integrate production and research, but also let everyone eat with confidence. It's quite cost-effective."

"Of course, the most important thing is you, my wife, and the health of our children in the future. It is worth spending any amount of money on this."

Having said this, he stretched out his hand, hugged the slender waist in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Honey, you said we have been working hard for so long, but why is there still no movement?"

"That's because you haven't worked hard enough." Jian Jianyun's voice trembled, and he breathed out in a low voice.

"My wife is right, then I have to work harder and fight to death." Wei Kang smiled softly and pressed his body against hers.

"No, this is the kitchen."

"You close your eyes, it's the same everywhere."

The two bodies pressed together tightly until there was no gap at all.

One morning a few days later, Wei Kang rubbed his sore waist and walked into the office.

As soon as I sat down on the chair, I had a good start.

"Mr. Wei, we have won a super deal from the 16-province alliance!" As soon as Lu Tingfeng's figure appeared at the door, a high-pitched sound of good news came in.

Wei Kang had the illusion for a moment that Lu Tingfeng had installed some kind of surveillance system on him. Why did he appear behind him as soon as he arrived at the office?

However, his attention was immediately attracted by the words "super big order".

"Old Lu, you worked hard for this bidding. Come on, sit down first and speak slowly." Wei Kang waved his hand and asked Lu Tingfeng to sit down.

He didn't show any urgency in his expression. This calmness and calmness immediately made Lu Tingfeng feel deeply ashamed.

"Mr. Wei, I'm sorry, I lost my temper. The main reason is that this tender is too important and the amount is unprecedentedly large. I got a little carried away."

Lu Tingfeng scratched his head, a little embarrassed, but he quickly calmed down and began to report.

"This time, the total amount of the centralized procurement bidding in 16 provinces is as high as 1.5 billion, including 1,000 ultrasonic scalpel equipment, 600,000 ultrasonic scalpel heads, and 25 equipment manufacturers have been shortlisted. For the ultrasonic scalpel market, it already accounts for half of the country."

"Of course, these devices are not equally distributed among every province, because different provinces have different medical developments and different economic strengths."

"Economically strong provinces like Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces have purchased more than 100 units of ultrasonic scalpel equipment. Not only city hospitals, but also county hospitals can be allocated one. As for Guizhou and Yunzhou, which are poorer Provinces can only be allocated to municipal hospitals, so the purchase volume is only about 20 to 30 units."

"Of course, how they distribute it within the province has little to do with us."

"In addition to quantity, price is also important to each province. The bargaining this time was very severe, with a direct discount of 40%. The commonly used ultrasonic scalpel head was reduced from 2,500 to 1,500. Even as arrogant as Johnson & Johnson, he had to bow his head."

"Some domestic manufacturers have even reduced the price of ultrasonic scalpel heads to less than a thousand yuan. Ultrasonic scalpel heads have entered the era of one hundred yuan, which will undoubtedly greatly benefit the popularization of ultrasonic scalpel technology."

"However, since the ultrasonic scalpel equipment is purchased from mid-range products, the price has not dropped much."

"But due to our joining, the performance has been greatly improved. Johnson & Johnson had no choice but to reduce the prices of some high-end products and join in. It can be regarded as an indirect price reduction."

The more Lu Tingfeng talked, the more excited he became, and when he was about to reach the most important point, he took a deep breath, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Wei, we have won a quarter of the ultrasonic scalpel heads, a third of the ultrasonic scalpel equipment, and a total order of 400 million yuan!"

"The remaining orders are divided between domestic manufacturers and a group of foreign companies such as Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson's share this time has been cut in half compared to previous years."

"In previous years, they would take away at least half of the ultrasonic scalpel heads and 80% of the ultrasonic scalpel equipment."

"After this bidding, everyone will know that the ultrasonic scalpel market will become three parts of the world, Sanqing, Johnson & Johnson, and others."

[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.

Afraid of being picked on. "

"Tell me, I really can't tell. It turns out that the higher-ups also hold grudges like this."

"It's true that you were so indifferent to me yesterday and didn't even give me a dollar. Today I'm going to make it impossible for you to reach a higher level and throw you out."

Wei Kang chuckled and asked, "You only know now?"

Lu Tingfeng was speechless when asked, and said sarcastically: "I have never encountered such a big scene before. There is no such pattern. I will have to learn more from Mr. Wei in the future."

Wei Kang knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "In that case, then you should keep a close eye on the production capacity and ensure on-time delivery."

"Those who make medical devices, whether they are first-tier tertiary hospitals, municipal hospitals, or even second-tier county hospitals, are our big customers. We must treat them with caution and provide technical support and after-sales service."

"Especially the ultrasonic scalpel is a new technology that many doctors have never used. Our medical representatives need to demonstrate it to them, so there must be no mistakes in this aspect, otherwise it will seriously affect the reputation."

Lu Tingfeng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said: "Mr. Wei, don't worry, my pre-sales and after-sales technical support is always the first priority and I will do my best."

Linyuan County People's Hospital, Guangxi Province.

Although it is a little-known small county, it is close to Guangdong Province and has been on the fast train of economic development over the years.

Under the wise leadership of President Sun Guangrong, the County People's Hospital has continued to grow and develop. It was recently rated as a high-quality development pilot hospital in Guangxi Province and is the only county-level hospital in the province.

Nowadays, it continues to make progress on the road to becoming a tertiary hospital.

At this time, President Sun Guangrong was standing in the hospital's newly built minimally invasive operating room, happily looking at the new "big baby" inside - a brand-new ultrasonic scalpel device.

"Dean, is this the famous Sanqing Ultrasonic Scalp? Compared with Johnson & Johnson's, which one is more powerful?"

Standing next to him was Director Liu of the Endoscopy Center. The wrinkles on his face were smiling like a flower. Looking at this equipment, he was like an old pervert seeing a peerless beauty, his eyes were extremely hot.

Sun Guangrong said with a smile: "Then Sanqing is definitely better. This time the province purchased a batch of ultrasonic scalpels, including those from Johnson & Johnson and some made in China. The ones delivered to us are definitely the best."

"Besides, Sanqing's ultrasonic scalpels are not only of high quality but also of good service. Each hospital has sent a medical representative to teach us how to load, unload, inspect and use the equipment, as well as maintain the equipment. Johnson & Johnson would definitely not have such good service."

Director Liu nodded and said with deep sympathy: "That's not true. The after-sales service of foreign companies is really mediocre. Last time our Olympus endoscope was broken and we had someone come to repair it. They actually said we would have to wait five days before sending it. People come here."

"Forget it, let's not mention it, let me try it first."

"Dean, fortunately you have foresight and sent me to a large provincial hospital to learn the ultrasonic scalpel technology a few years ago, so I can put it to use so quickly."

Director Liu looked eager to try and couldn't wait to get started.

Sun Guangrong was secretly proud. If he had not always paid attention to the cutting-edge diagnosis and treatment technology of minimally invasive surgery and actively sent doctors to higher-level hospitals for further training, this county hospital would not be what it is now.

Twenty years ago, when he first took over, the county hospital had a very bad reputation in the local area. Medical accidents often occurred and people would go around when they were sick. The well-established People's Hospital was not as good as the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital next door.

Since he was a neurologist, in order to change patients' confidence in the hospital, he seized on technology and formed a new neurosurgery team, which he sent to the No. 1 Hospital in the provincial capital to learn surgical techniques.

Neurosurgery equipment was also purchased. With the hardware and software in place, neurosurgery was finally officially developed.

From then on, patients with cerebral hemorrhage in the county were sent here urgently for treatment. The hospital quickly won the trust of the local people with this unique skill.

As a representative of high-precision disciplines, neurosurgery has changed everyone's prejudice that the County People's Hospital can only deliver babies and cut appendixes.

A few years later, Sun Guangrong began to vigorously introduce abdominal muscles, which were still rare at the time.

Laparoscopic technology, cultivate professional talents, and sent teams to well-known tertiary hospitals in Yangcheng many times to learn laparoscopic technology, becoming the first county-level hospital in Guangxi Province to carry out laparoscopic surgery.

The development of distinctive disciplines and the introduction of cutting-edge technologies have attracted more and more local patients for medical treatment. Linyuan County People's Hospital has finally regained its due status.

Subsequently, the County People's Hospital led to the rapid development of various specialties to meet people's growing medical needs.

Gastrointestinal endoscopy technology developed on this basis and has now become a key department of the hospital. More than 10,000 endoscopy examinations are performed every year, and hundreds of patients with early cancer are screened out.

Even cardiology surgeries, which are difficult to reach in county hospitals, can be performed more than 1,300 times a year, and dozens of heart bypass surgeries can also be completed.

With this county people's hospital, local people rarely go to the provincial capital for medical treatment, and many patients from neighboring counties even come here.

Sun Guangrong was immersed in reverie about his past glory when he was suddenly awakened by the nurse's call.

"Dean, the patient is going to undergo ultrasound surgery."

"Okay, okay, I'll leave now." Sun Guangrong walked a few steps and then came back: "No, I have to see the first ultrasonic scalpel surgery in this hospital."

The patient was quickly wheeled in for laparoscopic intestinal polypectomy.

The operation went extremely smoothly. There was not a drop of blood during the whole process, and there was no smell of cooking fumes from the electric knife.

This impressed everyone.

The department directors who came to watch were all jealous and expressed their intention to apply the new ultrasonic scalpel technology to their own surgeries.

The director of orthopedics wants to use it to cut bones for patients.

The dental director said it would be used to remove the patient’s wisdom teeth.

Even the director of the plastic surgery department said that it would be used to perform minimally invasive breast augmentation on female clients. It would definitely set a new high in cup size and make the county hospital famous.

Director Liu was so angry that he went crazy on the spot and almost got into a fight because of his youth and strength.

Dean Sun Guangrong looked at this scene and could only smile bitterly.

"We must convince the leaders to purchase another ultrasonic scalpel."

"There are so many departments and there are really not enough."

That was the only thought that ran through his mind.
