"At that time, the girl did more than a dozen cases, and the effect was not bad. Wu Mian looked at the sky and said, "When the brain pacemaker was all imported, there were no new models for many years, and the price was not reduced. It stands to reason that medical technology is advancing with each passing day, and other products are constantly innovating, and at the same time, the price of old products is reduced correspondingly quickly, which is in line with the law of business. ”

"Yes. "Daoist Lin didn't know what Uncle Xiao was going to say.

"At that time, the battery of a brain pacemaker could only last for five years. Wu Mian said.

"Five years? Isn't it for life? I've heard that pacemakers can be worn for life. Lin Daoshi said.

"Because the power supply of the pacemaker is a built-in battery, the power will run out in a few years, so the brain pacemaker at that time needed to be replaced by surgery regularly.

Surgery is risky after all, and many patients are elderly, and as patients age, surgery to replace a pacemaker is riskier than previous implantation.

However, if surgery is not performed, the patient's quality of life will collapse and even endanger life, and both the hospital and the patient are entangled. ”

Wu Mian's voice became colder and colder, as piercing as the mountain wind on Lao Yu Mountain in the early autumn morning.

"And then?"

"The girl wrote a letter to the technicians of General Medical, suggesting that the power supply be replaced with an external one, or a pacemaker that can be recharged in vitro, which should not be technically difficult. ”

"yes, I can guess as a layman, it's not that difficult to do at all. Lin Daoshi said.

As a result, after half a year, the girl received a reply from General Medical, which was very polite, in short, it was a bunch of nonsense, and finally said - their technology is perfect, there is no need to improve. ”

"......" Daoist Lin was stunned for a moment.

"The brain pacemaker was sold for 200,000 yuan at that time, and as patients came back one after another to replace the brain pacemaker, there were more and more contradictions. Some people really can't afford it, financially or physically. The girl wrote 3 letters before and after, but then General Medical simply did not reply. ”

"Hey. ”

"Guess how it took a turn for the better?" Wu Mian asked.

"It must be Uncle Xiao, you went to the side of the American imperialists, punched and kicked, and convinced General Motors. Daoist Lin said with a grin.

"It's so easy, people are big companies with tens of billions of assets and hundreds of billions of market value, can I convince others? Even if you can, you have to have a layout and take your time. It's hard to peel back the cocoon. ”

Daoist Lin suddenly heard a trace of stubbornness and ruthlessness in Wu Mian's words.

Later, Tsinghua University cooperated with the National Engineering Laboratory of Neuromodulation Technology to make equipment from the main intellectual property. Wu Mian said, "It's no different from other stories, we have it, and before we can go on the market, GM will immediately launch new consumables as soon as possible." ”

"These bastards. Lin Daoist scolded.

"That's what I said when GM immediately launched a new brain pacemaker that can be recharged in vitro. And the old models that used to need to replace the battery regularly did not reduce the price and were directly withdrawn from the market. ”

"......" Lin Daoshi understood the reason, and said hatefully, "They have long had technical reserves, just waiting for us to develop them, and then launch better equipment to strangle our first generation of products." ”

"Well, it's basically a conspiracy, no surprises. But at the time, I thought, if it was similar to Samsung's LCD panel, it would be okay, commercial competition. Medical equipment is about human life, how dare they!"

"Uncle Junior, how many people does this thing need?"

"A few years ago, it was estimated that the global market share was 20 billion, which was monopolized by the United States. ”

"Tsk. Lin Daoshi sighed.

Wealth touches people's hearts, and that's really the truth.

"How are the domestic manufacturers, are they still alive?" asked Daoist Lin.

"Imperial Pinchi Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. is still alive, but there are still some technical problems, and the external battery needs to be replaced every 5-8 years. Although it is very simple to replace and the cost is much lower than before, it is not possible for GM to directly launch a lifetime battery life product. Wu Mian said.

"Alas. ”

"When we have nothing, we can only be slaves. We have made a breakthrough in a certain technical field, and after a hundred battles, we can directly overturn foreign manufacturers to the ground. From home appliances to mobile phones, it's all the same. There is still a fruit machine left, not because of how good it is, but because there are some technologies that we have not yet broken through. ”

"Uncle Junior, have you brought back any technology from abroad?" asked Daoist Lin in a low and quiet voice.

"No, I'm just a surgeon, and my skills are to do surgery and see patients. Wu Mian said absentmindedly.

"Uncle Junior, it won't be that you are too careful......" Daoist Lin felt that it was not so simple, and continued to ask with a smile.

"Are you saying I'm too shady?

"Hehe, how dare I think so. But Uncle Junior, it's possible. ”

"Fool, whoever says this is either stupid or bad. Wu Mian scolded directly.

"I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid, Uncle Xiao, tell me about it. Lin Daoist hurriedly admitted that he was stupid. Stupid is stupid, and it is better than bad.

"A sophisticated medical device goes through a long process from design and development to marketing authorization. GM launched new products at a lightning speed before learning that domestic consumables were ready to go on the market, which can only show that they have been prepared, but they want to use old models to earn more of our money. ”

"If that's the case, there's really no good way to do it, it's called a dimensionality reduction strike, right? Lin Daoshi said.

"That's not how dimensionality reduction strikes are understood...... Don't talk about this. Wu Mian smiled, "The price of domestic brain pacemakers is two-thirds of that of imported goods, and rechargeable second-generation products have also been launched recently." ”

"Huh, they survived?"

"Of course, there are areas where you really can't stand up, and there are areas where you hold up and fight back. Wu Mian said, "In the future, in addition to brain pacemakers, proton knives, surgical robots, and large-scale medical examination equipment will be produced in China one after another, and similar things will continue to happen." Neusoft's CT and MRI also have independent intellectual property rights, but some precision operations still need to use general medical MRI, which is very distressing. ”

Do you want to use general medical care? Daoist Lin was stunned for a moment. With his understanding of Uncle Xiao, he can't wait to have no relationship with General Medical for the rest of his life. But it still has to be used, that is, it is a last resort.

There is no way, people are under low eaves, and they always have to bow their heads.

"Uncle Junior, can you help? I always feel that our hard-earned money is taken away by foreign devils, and we are unwilling. ”

"Try it. Wu Mian thought of Ranko, thought of mitral valve clips.

Well, that's just the beginning, just the beginning.
