Continuing along the left passage, there is the R&D area of the CT project production team.

More than a dozen researchers from China, Germany and Hong Kong are busy in the first tempered glass lab, hustling around a few devices that look like photocopies.

From the moment they entered the experimental workshop to the present, all the R&D personnel, including Chief Engineer Jiang, did not put down the work at hand, as if they did not exist, and even a few CUHK graduate students who accidentally saw the president of the university only nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

After seeing so many achievements, Mr. Gu, Chairman Zhong and President Gao clearly understand that this is not only a place where money is burned every minute, but also a battlefield to compete with international giants such as CE in the United States, Tomenzi in Germany and Songxin in Japan.

Every breakthrough and every achievement embodies the hard work of R&D personnel. Everyone was full of respect, and no one made a loud noise, and even walked cautiously, for fear of disturbing their work.

"Self-service film reporting machine."

Wei Huaming, director of the experimental workshop, stopped, pointed to the equipment inside, and introduced in a low voice: "Using physical imaging, non-chemical reaction, no harmful substances and ozone will be produced during the printing process, and it is equipped with a universal interface, which is suitable for all imaging equipment connection." It is not limited by the length of the image, and can print long full-body images and long images of more than 3 meters......"

It is another new achievement, which belongs to the category of technical application, and it seems that it is not so high-tech compared with spiral CT. Further on, it looks like a doctor's office, with a row of light boxes mounted on the wall with X-ray films sandwiched on them. Several doctor-like men were standing in front of the film discussing something.

The charter uncharacteristically opened the glass door. Greeted the researcher with a smile. He immediately picked up a piece of film and beckoned everyone to come in and sit down.

Although the CT machine was made, but the effect was not known, everyone walked quickly to the light box, and looked at it carefully, although they did not know anything about medical imaging diagnosis and the vast majority of ordinary people.

After they finished reading it, the charter held the film and said with a wry smile: "I believe you are no stranger to this, medical dry film." With a thickness of less than two millimeters and a size of only 14 x 17 inches, it doesn't look like much. But such a photosensitive material with a history of 100 years, in Hong Kong and China, for decades, no national enterprise can touch one percent, and it does not even have the courage to roar. ”

It's normal that Hong Kong can't produce it, so can't it produce it in China? Mr. Gu felt a little incredible, and asked suspiciously, "Is it more difficult than camera film?" ”

The charter shook his head. said with emotion: "I really can't say which one is more difficult." But I know the market capacity of 10 billion. It has always been monopolized by imported products. Even large-scale imaging equipment, testing equipment and reagents, laparoscopic operating rooms, monitoring anesthesia respiratory stents, catheters and steel plates and other fields will not be so miserable, and Hong Kong and domestic manufacturers will not be so helpless. ”

Not only Mr. Gu, but even Chairman Zhong felt incredible, and asked in surprise: "The whole army is annihilated?" ”

"So to speak."

"At least you figured it out."

"It's out."

He put down the film and said meaningfully: "But it is not easy to bring it to the market, Mr. Gu, I remember that I said when I was selling you the switch panel five years ago, the victory of technology is not equal to the victory of the market, which is not only applicable to the switch panel and this film, but also applies to our full line of products, especially medical imaging diagnostic equipment." ”

Wu Jinhua subconsciously glanced back, and found that none of the people invited to come today were professionally engaged in marketing, and the magical young man in front of him actually mentioned marketing.

Just when he was puzzled, the charter continued: "I'm sorry, it's not appropriate to say this now, but Mr. Gu and Chairman Zhong are very busy people, and I don't have much time until the group CEO, chief scientist, chief economist, chief legal counsel, and senior executives of the power generation and transmission and distribution group are all in office, so I would like to take this opportunity to share some personal thoughts with you." ”

If you want to invite Gao Cai, you can treat each other sincerely, Chairman Zhong realized that he was going to have a showdown, and glanced at Mr. Gu tacitly, and asked with a smile: "Even a small switch panel can be listed, including OEM for international counterparts, which has accounted for nearly 50% of the international high-end panel market, which has not only made money, but also established a brand, haven't you been very successful in sales?" ”

"Chairman Zhong, the success of the switch panel does not mean that other products can also be successful, after all, the customer base is different, in addition to the technology, we also have to consider some other factors."

In order to promote optical fiber technology, President Gao ran to almost all developed countries, and he was deeply touched by this, and nodded again and again: "It is difficult to promote technology, and it is even more difficult to promote products, unless they are as competitive as composite insulators." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, as Dean Gao said, our CT machine does not have an absolute advantage, even if we get a four-slice scan before our competitors, because our resources are far inferior to theirs, and it is easy to catch up or even surpass. The same is true for power generation and transmission and distribution equipment, where technology does not have an absolute advantage, and brand influence cannot be compared with it. ”

He was undoubtedly referring to the domestic market.

There is a shortcut, you have to take the most difficult road, Mr. Gu sighed secretly, stared into his eyes and asked, "Then what do you think, what kind of help do you need?" ”

The charter took a deep breath and said bluntly: "We need funds, a lot of money, and at the same time, we need the influence of Mr. Gu and Mr. Zhong in China. ”

Mr. Gu was confused and asked suspiciously: "1 billion Hong Kong dollars is not enough?" ”

"Not enough, at least 200 billion is needed!"

Everyone was stunned by this number, and before they could speak, the charter showed a smile, "This huge amount of money is not used for research and development, nor for production, let alone for marketing, but to provide loans to customers." As we all know, the domestic medical imaging diagnostic equipment market is huge, so far only some hospitals above the municipal level are equipped with it. However, the vast majority of hospitals want to purchase but cannot afford it.

This is our chance. If medical financial services can be provided. Then we will be able to occupy more than 80% of the domestic medical CT market before competitors react. You must know that you can bargain for anything, but you can't bargain for a doctor, and the financial risk is almost negligible.

It is conceivable that if we can raise this huge amount of money and start a loan business in China, then domestic patients will be able to obtain more medical resources. Domestic hospitals suffering from insufficient funds can purchase CT machines, investors can obtain stable income, NB medical can occupy the market and obtain profits, NB laboratories can also have more R&D funds, and even enterprises supporting NB medical can be developed. ”

CT machine is so promoted, digital X-ray machine can also be promoted, and then thinking that power plants, power grids and other expensive infrastructure construction do not need financing, Mr. Gu gasped and sighed secretly: What a big game of chess!

Wu Jinhua was shocked and blurted out: "Mr. Zhang." Will the central government allow NB banks to conduct financial business on the mainland? ”

"That's why I said that I need the influence of Mr. Gu and Chairman Zhong, otherwise I can only use a third-party bank. However, it will not only increase the burden on patients, but also be detrimental to the promotion of our products. ”

It turns out that the ambush is here, and things can be developed and produced, and even can drive the development of member enterprises of the General Chamber of Industry and the General Chamber of Commerce. You just said that you want to put it on the market and fight for the Chinese, so you should do something about it.

What is even more rare is that people do not make money for the sake of making money like other enterprises, but for the research and development, for the development of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry, and for the future of Hong Kong and even domestic engineering students. Looking at the way Mr. Gu and Chairman Zhong looked at each other, Principal Gao smiled even more.

When the sky fell, there was a tall man on top of it, and besides, this was indeed an opportunity to expand the influence of the Federation of Industries, Chairman Zhong was happy and asked with a smile: "Mr. Gu, as a major shareholder of NB Bank, do you think this plan is feasible?" ”

What a little slippery head, just after he became a shareholder of NB Bank, he gave himself such a problem, Mr. Gu was difficult to ride the tiger, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Charter, you overestimate my influence, it involves financial stability, and the central government will not allow it." ”

"Mr. Gu, your influence is undoubted, and this matter is not as difficult as you think."

The charter took a bottle of mineral water from the staff and said unhurriedly: "After so many years of reform and opening up, the concept of indebtedness has become a thing of the past, and no one will mention anything about 'no domestic or foreign debt'." Moreover, overseas financing is not without precedent, such as BJ Jianguo Hotel, where 97.89% of the total investment comes from HSBC.

Even according to the loan period stipulated in the previous agreement, the principal and interest of the $21.6 million loan were fully repaid just three months ahead of schedule. Domestic media also reported yesterday that the distributable profit of Jianguo Hotel totaled 134.33 million yuan, and 1 yuan was used for more than 30 yuan of business, earning 114 times the profit, and also paying 144.9 million yuan in various taxes and fees to the state. ”

After a turn on the first floor of the experimental workshop, and before the second floor went, I saw so many very promising new achievements and new products, and the former vice president of Hong Kong CLP, Kwan Hao, decided to accept the invitation and lost no time in saying: "There is also the Xiaoyawan Nuclear Power Plant invested by CLP, but the scale of NB Electric is a little larger and the area is a little wider. ”

"That's a special case."

"Exceptions often become the norm," the charter said, "Mr. Gu, the central government has clearly proposed to apply for WTO membership, and the negotiation process may be very long, but sooner or later this opening will have to be opened, and competition is inevitable." We can start from this perspective and enter the mainland as a blue army, so that domestic banks can feel the competitive atmosphere, so that the resistance will inevitably be much smaller. What's more, we only lend money, not absorb savings, which will not affect the financial stability of the mainland. ”

Loans will definitely be welcome, after all, this is to provide funds for the development of the domestic medical industry, thinking that NB Bank has just been registered in Germany, whether in Germany or Hong Kong has no credibility at all, Mr. Gu asked again: "Only lending, not absorbing savings, where does the 200 billion come from?" ”

"Germany," the charter said with a confident smile: "Although the East German economy is underdeveloped, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, such as the SMS with the same face value, such as the pension issued by the social welfare and social security agency, it can be said that the East Germans are not without money, but without jobs, to be precise, there should be no jobs with as high wages and benefits as in West Germany."

As a 'universal bank' registered in Germany, NB Bank can launch a wealth management product with relatively high returns. And we had a little bit of a reputation in the GDR, and in Berlin and Saxony we were even more popular than the West German banks. As for how to promote this wealth management product, I believe that the Hong Kong banking elite is definitely better than the stubborn and rigid German bankers. ”

Thinking that NB Electric can drive hundreds of supporting enterprises, and thinking that NB Technology Application Laboratory can provide services to FHKI members, Chairman Zhong smiled sideways and asked: "Everything is ready only to Dongfeng Dongfeng, Mr. Gu, how about we organize a joint delegation of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Industries to visit Beijing?"
