Chapter 725: Price Alliance Does Not Reduce Prices

Hearing that the first catalog was 64-row CT, many eager medical representatives sat down quietly, and everyone focused their attention on Dongmenzi, GM, and Xizhi.

There is a difference between good and bad CT machines, which are mainly distinguished by the configuration parameters of CT machines, and the common parameter is "row".

The number of rows refers to the number of detectors in the CT scanner, which generally has 2 rows, 4 rows, 16 rows, 32 rows, 64 rows, etc.

The higher the number of rows that make up a CT detector, the greater the number of detectors, the shorter the time to scan the patient, the lower the dose of radiation, and the higher the quality of the imaging.

In 1990, the most advanced CT was 64 rows, and 128 and 256 rows were gradually introduced, and the highest was 512 rows.

64-row CT In this era, only a very few top hospitals in China have it, anyway, there is no one in Haidong Province, only the old 16-row one, which is still the second-hand goods that Chen Qi got from Mayo.

Chen Qi is very eager for the most advanced CT machine, because the diagnosis of many common diseases relies on CT machine.

Compared with 16-slice and 32-slice CT, 64-slice CT allows clinicians to see more and more precise details, and lesions as small as 0.5 mm can be seen by doctors at a glance.

For example, CT can be used for head examination, which can distinguish ischemic cerebrovascular disease, hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease, and intracranial mass disease.

Then brain surgery or neurosurgery can be started, and related surgeries can be performed.

If nothing else, let's just say that if brain tumors can be detected and treated in advance, there is still a great possibility of cure.

Another example is stroke, CT examination can accurately locate the bleeding site, and then surgery to clean up the blood stasis, maybe the patient can come back to life and avoid paralysis.

In addition, CT can be applied to cardiology, and cardiology can perform coronary CTA examination and evaluation of coronary arteries.

For example, the most common myocardial infarction, without a CT or digital subtraction angiography machine, one is difficult to diagnose and the second is difficult to treat.

Then the doctor has almost nothing to do about the heart attack but to watch the patient die.

With the introduction of CT and the introduction of digital subtraction angiography, new cardiac surgery can be built, interventional surgery can be done in the bright light, and most patients with myocardial infarction do not have to die, how many people can be benefited?

In addition, CT also plays a very important role in physical examination.

For example, for lung cancer, ordinary X-ray machines cannot illuminate tumors within 1cm, but CT can.

The treatment of cancer is not surgery + chemoradiotherapy after detection, but early detection and early treatment in advance, which is the key to saving life, and the role of CT is highlighted.

Therefore, in clinical medicine, whether machines are important or people are important, this is a false proposition that laymen like to argue the most, and it is meaningless. If you don't have a good machine, are you going to rely on the suspensory wire to diagnose the pulse?

As soon as Chen Qi's voice fell, the venue instantly fell silent.

The process design of the procurement meeting, each company representative has a small hand in his hand, on which the number is written, who wants to bid, who will raise it.

However, the scene was cold for 2 minutes, and no company raised its card, which was particularly abnormal.

Chen Qi and Lao Guo glanced at each other and sighed in their hearts.

The leaders on the stage, President Li in the audience, and even the domestic media reporters were all a little confused.

Chen Qi had done his homework beforehand, so he looked at several powerful medical companies in the front row.

"The best manufacturers of 64-row CT are GM in the United States, Dongmenzi in Germany, and Xishiba in Yuben, I wonder if the three companies have any expectations of bidding?"

At this time, the representative of GM smiled and took the lead in holding up the sign: "Our bid for a 64-row CT is $1 million." ”

Rumble~~~~

The representatives of the major international pharmaceutical companies at the scene collectively blew up their nests and turned their heads one after another.

The representative of Dongmenzi also held up a sign: "Our bid for 64 rows of CT is also $1 million each." ”

The representative of Xizhi smiled brightly and politely, and while holding up the sign, the price quoted was also $1 million.

After Chen Qi listened, the information in his hand was pinched hard.

And the leaders in and off the stage, as well as the media, are you look at me, I look at it, their eyes are full of confusion, they don't know what happened, but they know that there must be an accident in this offer.

Chen Qi took a deep breath for a long time, and then he smiled again:

"Mr. Delegates, I have also asked many hospitals in the world about the purchase prices of various medical equipment and medicines, such as the latest data I have heard from the Mayo Clinic, the University of Tokyo Hospital, and St. Thomas's Hospital in England.

The purchase price of the 64-row CT machine is 500,000 US dollars, and the data you reported to us at the Vietnamese and Chinese hospitals has doubled, so I hope that the three representatives can quote a suitable figure to facilitate our cooperation. ”

The representative of the company was a little arrogant:

"Dr. Chen, you are also an internationally renowned expert, you should understand the importance of the 64-slice CT machine for clinical work, we sell it cheaply abroad, and that is because these hospitals have a long-term cooperative relationship with us, and the purchase quantity is huge, so we can give a preferential price."

The red-nosed representative of Dongmenzi also smiled and said:

"Whether the price is expensive or not, it depends on whether the machine is worth it, and we are still under a lot of pressure to export the most advanced medical equipment to China, after all, this involves high-end equipment.

Chen Qi thought to himself, isn't it just a few pieces of medical equipment, as for leaning in some uncontrollable directions?

But in business, Haidong people are born to do business, and there is always a bargain and a counteroffer, so Chen Qi is ready to endure it a little longer

"Then Mr. Deputies, let's talk about the real price, how much can you give at the minimum?"

It was the medical representative of Xishiba that jumped out again:

"The price of $1 million will not change, after all, our 64-row CT technology is currently the top, and other companies can't make it, and our R&D expenses are quite high, for the benefit of the company, we have to increase the price, maybe in the future, our price will be cheaper."

The smart people on the scene have already heard the word "we" in the mouth of the representative of Xishiba, which is the formation of a price alliance.

This is also the favorite trick used by monopoly enterprises in international business wars, who makes others helpless?

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the auditorium, whether it was the leaders at all levels on the stage, or the medical staff under the stage, including the media reporters behind the stage, they were all angry.

What is hot is that these three pharmaceutical giants have discriminated against and blackmailed the Vietnamese and Chinese hospitals to the point of showing fruit, without the slightest respect for Party A.

But at the same time, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness, who said that I couldn't make it, then I was aggrieved.

According to Lao Guo's temper, he would have smashed the cup at this time, but today Lao Guo is more worried that Chen Qi, who presided over the procurement meeting, will make a fortune, which is an international scandal.

So Lao Guo quickly wrote down a note and motioned He Jia to hand it to Chen Qi quickly.

Chen Qi had been thinking about countermeasures in his mind, and suddenly his train of thought was interrupted: "Dean Chen, this is a note from Guo Shuji to you." ”

When I opened it, there was a sentence written on it: "64-slice CT is not a necessity for us at the moment." ”

Chen Qi woke up in an instant.

Yes, I was on the tip of the horns just now, in fact, 64-row CT is also in the promotion stage abroad, and it is definitely a good thing, but I can live without this day.

Now the Vietnamese Hospital uses the second-hand goods eliminated by Mayo, which belongs to the 16th row, and the Vietnamese Central Hospital is still envied, jealous and hated by major hospitals in China.

The newer, 32-slice CT can also meet the vast majority of current clinical needs.

If you really encounter those special patients, isn't there a bedside CT machine in his space, this is the top configuration of the 256 rows, who has it in the world?

Thinking of this, Chen Qi relaxed and had a way to deal with it, but at the moment he knew that it was impossible to get a 64-row CT at a normal price.

He endured this breath for the time being, but sooner or later he would have to make these three monopoly medical companies vomit three liters of blood.

Chen Qi, who had relaxed, had a smile on his face again, which made the three medical representatives who had won the game puzzled.

On the contrary, medical representatives from other countries are also eager to try, as long as these three CT manufacturers "blackmail" successfully, then they will also draw gourds and join this extortion gang.

Chen Qi tapped the microphone, and waited for the venue to be quiet before he said:

"As you all know, I am a director of the International Society of Gastroenterology, the vice president of the Endoscopy Branch, and I am also a director of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

It felt like he was bragging, but Chen Qi looked at the three representatives of the CT manufacturer and said.

The people who become the elite of the business world are all people with superior IQ, how can they not hear the words of this dean of Huaguo?

Many people instantly realized that this person on the stage is not just a dean of Tubaozi, he is taking the international route, is it worth offending such a master?

Pharmaceutical companies often need to cooperate with medical associations at all levels to promote a new product, and it is often more authoritative to recommend to member hospitals through international medical associations, and sales can be greatly increased.

As a director, Chen Qi's level is only lower than that of the president, and it may not be easy for this level to successfully help you promote, but it is easy for him to make trouble in the middle.

There is not enough success in what can be said, and there are more than failures.

So many medical representatives in the audience were entangled all of a sudden.

But apparently Chen's warning is not over yet......
