Chapter 573 Patent Acquisition of Nipro

Even if Chen Qi sees through his careful thoughts, Ercun Haidou will not admit it, anyway, the businessman, his face is thick enough, I am not embarrassed and embarrassed by others.

"Hehe, Dr. Chen, where do you think of it, we Nipro are your good friends, when has there been an unpleasant incident after so many years of cooperation, hehehe, in this way, Dr. Chen, I can convey your opinion to the board of directors and reply to you as soon as possible."

Futamura Kaito is only a professional manager, and the company's decision-making power is in the hands of the board of directors and the chairman, and he is not qualified to make decisions.

Chen Qi said that he understood, it would be good to warn him, and it would be impossible to tear his face with the God of Wealth, which was far from necessary.

"In this way, Mr. Ercun, you can help me convey a request to your board of directors, that is, I hope you can invest in an endoscopic instrument production plant in China, and the location will be in my hometown of Yuezhong City."

"Nani?"

This request caught Futamura Kaito a little off guard, full of question marks.

"No way, you also know that I am also an official in China, our country is vigorously developing the economy, and I also have the task of attracting investment, I hope that Nipro Company can help.

Viet Central is an open coastal city, the economic policy is very attractive, we also have a large number of cheap technicians and workers, presumably you Nipro set up a factory in Viet Cong, you will be able to achieve good economic benefits, what do you think? ”

In fact, Chen Qizhen does not attach importance to these investment tasks, but he also has his own hardships and long-term layout.

If Chen Qi and Nipro really reach a cooperation agreement, wait for Chen Qi, a "traitor", to really take out some advanced equipment for Nipro to apply for patents and production.

Then it is conceivable that Nipro Company will definitely make a windfall with its monopoly, and the price of endoscopy will definitely not be able to beat down.

When Huaguo imports endoscopic equipment to Nipro Company, it will need to be slaughtered by Xiao Ri.

The biggest possibility that endoscopes can't afford is to simply not buy them, or buy less.

Chen Qi can ignore other countries, but Huaguo is his own motherland, and as a doctor, Chen Qi always wants to let these advanced instruments benefit more people.

As an industry insider, Chen Qi understands Huaguo's predicament better.

In 2022, before his rebirth, after decades of development, the country has been officially recognized as a developed country by the United States, and our own TV also broadcasts "Awesome My Country" every day, and even predicts that it will catch up with and surpass the United States in a few years.

So we should be considered rich and rich, right?

However, there are still less than 25,000 medical endoscope equipment owned by medical institutions at all levels in China, and the number that can be used normally is even lower.

The number of people who can enjoy endoscopic diagnosis and treatment in China is only 30 million times per year.

This is unimaginable for a country with more than 1.4 billion people.

This means that each endoscopic device now has to perform an operation on average once a day, and for endoscopic equipment that requires precise cleaning and maintenance, the actual time that can be used for diagnosis and treatment is completely unsatisfied.

In fact, when it comes to endoscopic decontamination, mainstream sterilization methods, such as ethylene oxide sterilization, take up to a week.

Endoscopic machines have to be out of service for long periods of time, and hospitals often cannot afford to wait such long.

Although the time is greatly reduced to 1-2 hours through low-temperature plasma sterilization, plasma sterilization equipment is often expensive. Due to the above reasons, the disinfection and sterilization of endoscopic equipment has become a very troublesome matter.

In order to use the endoscope instrument as soon as possible, some hospitals do not clean and disinfect the endoscope effectively, and the small and long open channel structure of the endoscope itself also provides an environment for cross-infection of microorganisms, secretions, and blood residues.

This is also a very headache and can cause additional harm to the patient.

Not only is there a lack of endoscopic equipment in China, but there is also a serious shortage of endoscopists, with less than 40,000 endoscopists in China.

Based on China's population base and the proportion of high-risk groups, only digestive endoscopists need at least about 400,000 to meet the domestic market demand, and the number of existing endoscopists is only about 2,000.

In addition, the number of equipment is far from meeting the needs of domestic gastrointestinal endoscopy, and the training cycle of endoscopists is long, and the shortage of digestive endoscopists restricts the development of the industry.

If other departments are added, the shortage of domestic endoscopists is the same as that of endoscopic equipment, and the gap is very alarming.

Why is there a shortage of endoscopic equipment? To put it mildly, people's equipment is too expensive to afford.

Chen Qi's idea was very simple, it was best to lure Nipro to build an endoscopy factory in China, and in the future it would be exclusively available to the domestic market at a lower price than abroad.

He Chen Qi will seize the time to train endoscopists, and when there are enough equipment and doctors, the domestic endoscopy will be able to keep up with the level of developed countries and seek benefits for more patients.

Including the equipment and instruments related to "laparoscopic surgery" in the future, it can also be carried out according to this model.

Chen Qi and his entourage were scheduled to stay for 7 days and then go to Houston in the United States.

In the remaining 2 days, Chen Qi was going to take his wife, younger siblings, and students to go to other cities for a simple visit.

As a result, because his endoscopic surgery caused a sensation in the medical circle, Chen Qi was invited by several large hospitals to do teaching surgery every day for the next two days.

Although he took a lot of labor fees, he also tired Chen Qi enough.

Until the night before leaving Yuben, Chen Qi was secretly invited to the headquarters of the Nipro Company.

In order to obtain all the patent authorizations and monopolize the endoscopy business, Nipro finally agreed to all of Chen Qi's requests.

1. Nipro helped Chen Qi apply for a global patent on behalf of Chen Qi, and the patent right belongs to Chen Qi.

2. Chen Qi exclusively granted all patents on endoscopic instruments and accessories to Nipro Company for use for 20 years, and Chen Qi obtained 2.5% equity of Ben Nipro Co., Ltd.

3. Bennipro Co., Ltd. invested 100 million US dollars to set up a wholly-owned enterprise in Yuezhong City, China, to produce endoscopic equipment and medicines.

Fourth, Chen Qi exclusively endorses Nipro's products, with an annual endorsement fee of 3 million US dollars. (1 million more than expected)

In addition, Nipro promised to provide a full set of endoscopic equipment to the Yuezhong People's Hospital free of charge, and the requirement was that all endoscopic teaching operations in the Yuezhong People's Hospital must use Nipro equipment.

With the cooperation of the lawyer team, the two parties secretly signed the above agreement.

As a "traitor", Chen Qi used the state's research and development of scientific and technological products to gain his own benefits.

As a second-rate manufacturer of endoscopes, Nipro Company may become the leader of NO1 by virtue of the endoscopic accessories provided by Chen Qi.

For Chen Qi and Nipro, both feel that this is a win-win.

In fact, the real situation should be that Chen Qi won alone.

What state secrets, what secret research and development, what endoscopy team, there is a hair! Some of them are Chen Qi's own golden fingers.

Using the endoscopic equipment invented by the later generations, he has made such a share here, and this business has made a lot of money.

The reason why Chen Qi did not ask for patent fees was because he could not supervise and control the financial status of foreign pharmaceutical companies.

Capital is greedy, immoral, and has no legal boundaries.

At that time, people will only have how much money they say, and they will not give Chen Qi room for bargaining at all, which is too unsafe.

Just like film and television investment, a movie is obviously a box office hit and makes countless money.

But in the end, the account, hey, it was actually a loss, and the account book was done beautifully, so that you couldn't find any fault.

In the end, investors can only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and there is no way to win the lawsuit.

Therefore, Chen Qi's plan is to invest in Nipro Company with patents, and take dividends as shareholders every year in the future.

Don't look at the current market value of Nipro is only $10 billion, and by 2022, Nipro's market value will reach $340 billion.

2.5% of 340 billion, if you do the math, that's 8.5 billion US dollars, what kind of bicycle do you want?

After the two parties concluded the signing, Naoto Mitsui, chairman of Nipro Co., Ltd., personally met with Chen Qi.

Listening to the name of this chairman, you will know that this is a member of the Mitsui Foundation, and he belongs to the high-ranking figures, the godfather of all female stars.

"Dr. Chen, now that you are a shareholder of Nipro, we will be a family in the future, and you can't hide any new technology."

Chen Qi also lightly touched the wine glass with the old man Mitsui:

"We have an old saying in China, doing business requires win-win cooperation, as a shareholder of Nipro, I will definitely consider the interests of Nipro first in endoscopic surgery, so please don't worry about this."

In fact, Chen Qi's subtext is that the cake of endoscopy is for you Nipro to eat, but endoscopy is only a small part of his Chen Qi's future career, and it can't even rank in the top three.

So don't expect Chen to work hard.

But I can't say that now.

Sure enough, Naoto Mitsui was very satisfied with Chen Qi's attitude after hearing this, of course, whether he really looked up to this "traitor" in his heart was only clear in his heart.

At the end of this journey to make a fortune, Chen Qi and his party embarked on a trip to the United States.

The next battle is Houston.

He is no stranger to the city of Houston, and that is because Yao Ming used to play basketball with the Houston Rockets, so he can afford to hear calluses in his ears.

In fact, what Chinese people don't know is that the best thing about Houston is not the blue ball, but the city has one of the largest medical centers in the world.

Texas Medical Center (TMC).

It is important to note that this medical center is not "one hospital", but consists of 54 medical-related institutions.

It includes 21 hospitals, 8 specialized medical institutions, 8 academic and research institutions, 4 medical schools, 7 nursing, 3 public health organizations, 2 pharmacies, and 1 dental school.

Covering an area of 1,346 acres, with about 300 buildings and a total construction area of 4.5 million square meters, it is the world's largest medical complex. It employs more than 100,000 people and has a total of 9,200 hospital beds.

It has the world's largest children's hospital and the world's largest cancer hospital, receives 8 million patients every year, and performs 180,000 surgeries per year, equivalent to one operation every 3 minutes.

It can be said that it is a behemoth integrating production, education and research.

When Chen Qi and his group of 20 people visited this behemoth medical center under the guidance of a tour guide, the shock in their hearts was incomprehensible.

Even if Chen Qi is a reborn, even if he has seen too many big hospitals, this kind of dozens of top medical institutions form a "medical city", which also makes Chen Qi shout "wow~~~" from time to time.

Not to mention the master's students.

Among so many people, the most calm is Professor Zhang Weizhong, who has come to the United States for a year of study and has also visited the Texas Medical Center.

Of course, everyone came to visit, because Chen Qi did not have any old friends or connections at the Texas Medical Center.

That's why he visited a local tour group in Houston, rather than being accompanied by someone inside a specialized hospital.

However, Chen Qi did not come to the United States simply to travel, he still has important things to do.

The 1989 World Congress of Gastroenterology will be held at the Texas Medical Center, and both Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan have been invited to attend.

And according to the hint of Professor Grace, the former president of the society, Chen Qi felt that his wife might get a "half-official position" in the International Gastroenterology Society, after all, she had the support of her father, the Swedish Asra Pharmaceutical Company.

If Lan Lijuan can take the position, it means that the Helicobacter pylori theory has been recognized by the mainstream medical community.

That also means that omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor invented by Aslila, will become the mainstream drug for gastrointestinal diseases, and the benefits are too great.

is full of games, which is not something that a little doctor like Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan can manage.

As for Chen Qi himself, he doesn't think he can get anything, after all, his papers related to endoscopic surgery have not been published and have not been recognized by the mainstream.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Qi handed over a bank card to Zhang Weizhong:

"Professor Zhang, in the next week, Lijuan and I will go to the hotel arranged by the members of the World Gastroenterology Congress, so I won't go with you, and these students and my younger siblings will trouble you to take them to the United States.

Professor Doon and Professor Carey of the Mayo Clinic are my old friends, and they will take you on a tour, and by the way, you can also go to New York and Washington, D.C., just pay attention to safety, don't be reluctant to spend money, now brother I am not short of money. ”

Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan are both newcomers to the WCOG conference, but they are not qualified to bring people into the venue to observe, so the two sides have to act separately.

Zhang Weizhong took the card and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I've been in the United States for a year, and I'm still familiar with it."

Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan came out of the hotel and went to the Chinese delegation to report first.

The World Society of Gastroenterology (WGO) is a quasi-governmental organization, so in addition to top doctors, it is generally attended by delegations from various countries.

Huaguo also formed a delegation of 10 people, all of whom were bigwigs in the field of gastroenterology in China, and their names appeared in medical textbooks.

For example, Professor Zhang Wanfeng from Renji Hospital, Professor Tong Shanggao from Xijing Hospital, Professor Liang Chengwu from Union Hospital, Professor Cheng Bangwu from Nanfang Hospital, etc.

Compared with these old professors, Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan, two young doctors from small hospitals at the municipal level, are really very eye-catching.
