Chapter 573 Patent investment in Nipro(1/2)
Even if Chen Qi sees through his little thoughts, Futama Kaito will never admit it. Anyway, as a businessman, he is thick-skinned. I am not embarrassed by others.
"Haha, Dr. Chen, where are you thinking? We Nipro are your good friends. When have any unpleasant incidents happened after so many years of cooperation? Hahaha, in this way, Dr. Chen, I can convey your opinions to the board of directors.
I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.”
Nimura Kaito is just a professional manager. The company's decision-making power lies in the hands of the board of directors and chairman. He is not qualified to make decisions.
Chen Qi expressed his understanding. It would have been fine if he had given him a warning. It was impossible to break up with the God of Wealth. It was far from necessary.
"Mr. Nimura, please help me convey my request to your board of directors, that is, I hope you can invest in an endoscopic instrument manufacturing plant in China, and the location will be in my hometown, Yuezhong City."
"Nani?"
This request caught Kaito Nimura off guard, and his mind was filled with questions.
"There is no way. You also know that I am also an official in China. Our country is vigorously developing its economy. I also have the task of attracting investment. I hope Nipro can help me.
Yuezhong City is an open coastal city with very attractive economic policies. We also have a large number of cheap technicians and workers. I believe that Nipro will be able to achieve good economic benefits by setting up a factory in Yuezhong. What do you think?"

In fact, Chen Qi really doesn't value these investment-attracting tasks, but he also has his own difficulties and long-term plans.
If Chen Qi and Nipro really reach a cooperation agreement, wait until Chen Qi, a "traitor", really takes out some advanced equipment and lets Nipro apply for patents and produce it.
It is conceivable that Nipro will definitely make a fortune by virtue of its monopoly, and the price of endoscopes will definitely not be able to come down.
When the time comes for China to import endoscopic equipment from Nipro Company, it will be severely slaughtered by the little days.
The most likely possibility is that endoscopes cannot be afforded, and that is simply not to buy them, or buy less.
Chen Qi can ignore other countries, but China is his own motherland after all. As a doctor, Chen Qi always wants these advanced instruments to benefit more people.
As an industry insider, Chen Qi understands China's plight better.
In 2022, before he was reborn, the country had been officially recognized as a developed country by the United States after decades of development. Our own TV also played "My Country is Amazing" every day, and even predicted that it would catch up and surpass it in a few years.
United States.
Then we should be considered a wealthy country, a strong people, and a wealthy country, right?
However, domestic medical institutions at all levels still own less than 25,000 medical endoscopic equipment, and the number that is in normal use is even lower.
There are only 30 million endoscopic diagnoses and treatments in China every year.
This is simply unimaginable for a country with a population of over 1.4 billion.
This means that each endoscope equipment now performs an operation on average once a day. For endoscope equipment that requires precision decontamination and maintenance, the actual time that can be used for diagnosis and treatment is completely unsatisfied.
In fact, mainstream sterilization methods such as ethylene oxide sterilization take up to a week to decontaminate endoscopes.
Endoscopy machines have to be out of service for long periods of time, and hospitals usually can't afford to wait that long.
Although low-temperature plasma sterilization can significantly shorten the time to 1-2 hours, plasma sterilization equipment is often expensive. Due to the above reasons, the disinfection and sterilization of endoscope equipment has become a very troublesome matter.
In order to use the endoscope as soon as possible, some hospitals fail to clean and disinfect the endoscope. 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 another very troublesome hospital-feeling problem and will also cause additional harm to patients.
Not only is there a lack of endoscopic equipment in China, but also a serious shortage of endoscopists. Currently, there are less than 40,000 endoscopists in China.
Based on China's population base and the proportion of high-risk groups, only about 400,000 digestive endoscopists are needed to meet the domestic market demand. The current number of endoscopists is only about 2,000.
In addition, the number of equipment is far from meeting the domestic demand for gastrointestinal endoscopy diagnosis and treatment, and the training period for endoscopists is long. The gap of gastrointestinal endoscopists has restricted the development of the industry.
If other departments are included, the gap in domestic endoscopists and endoscopic equipment is astonishing.
Why is there a shortage of endoscopic equipment? To put it simply, other people’s equipment is too expensive and we can’t afford it.
Chen Qi's idea is very simple. It is best to lure Nipro to build an endoscope factory in China and supply it exclusively to the domestic market at a lower price than abroad.
If Chen Qi seizes the time to train endoscopists, then there will be enough equipment and enough doctors, and domestic endoscopy will be able to keep up with the level of developed countries and provide benefits to more patients.
Including future "laparoscopic surgery" related equipment and instruments can also refer to this model.
Chen Qi and his party's budget is to stay in Japan for 7 days and then head to Houston in the United States.
In the remaining two days, Chen Qi originally planned to take his wife, siblings, and students for a brief tour of other cities in Japan.
As a result, his endoscopic surgery caused a sensation in the Japanese medical circle, so for the next two days, Chen Qi was invited by several large Japanese hospitals to perform teaching surgeries every day.
Although he received a lot of labor fees, Chen Qi was very tired.
Until the night before leaving Japan, Chen Qi was secretly invited to Nipro's headquarters.
In order to obtain all patent authorizations and monopolize the endoscope business, Nipro finally agreed to all Chen Qi's requests.
1. Nipro helped Chen Qi apply for a global patent on his behalf, and the patent rights belong to Chen Qi.
Second, Chen Qi exclusively granted all patents on endoscopic instruments and accessories to Nipro Company for use for a period of 20 years. Chen Qi obtained 2.5% of the equity of Nipro Co., Ltd.

Third, Japan Nipro Co., Ltd. invested US$100 million to establish a wholly-owned enterprise in Yuezhong City, China, to produce endoscopic equipment and drugs.
Fourth, Chen Qi exclusively endorses Nipro products, with an annual endorsement fee of US$3 million (1 million more than expected)
In addition, Nipro Company promised to provide a complete set of endoscopic equipment to Yuezhong Municipal People's Hospital for free, and the requirement is that all endoscopic teaching surgeries in Yuezhong Municipal People's Hospital must use Nipro Company equipment.
With the cooperation of the legal team, both parties secretly signed the above agreement.
As a "traitor", Chen Qi used the technological products developed by the state to obtain his own interests.
As a second-rate manufacturer of endoscopes, Nipro is likely to become the No. 1 leader by relying on the endoscope accessories provided by Chen Qi.
For both Chen Qi and Nipro, they feel this is a win-win situation.
In fact, the real situation is that Chen Qi won the pot alone.
What state secrets, what secret research and development, what kind of endoscopic team, there is something wrong! All of them are Chen Qi’s own golden fingers.
Using the endoscopic equipment invented by the Japanese in later generations, we extorted such a share from the current Japanese, and this business has made a lot of money.
The reason why Chen Qi did not ask for patent fees was because he was unable to 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 pay how much they say, and there will be no room for bargaining for Chen Qi. This is too unsafe.
Just like film and television investment, a movie is a box office hit and makes countless money.
But in the final reckoning, oh, it turned out to be a loss. The account books were so beautifully done that you can’t find any faults.
In the end, investors can only knock out their teeth and swallow it. They have no choice but to win the lawsuit.
Therefore, Chen Qi’s plan is to use the patent to invest in Nipro Company and become a shareholder with dividends every year.
Don't look at Nipro's current market value of only US$10 billion. By 2022, Nipro's market value will reach US$340 billion.
2.5% of 340 billion, 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 he is a member of the Mitsui Consortium. He is a high-ranking figure in Japan and the godfather of all female celebrities.
"Dr. Chen, now you are a shareholder of Nipro. We will be a family from now on. You can't keep any new technologies to yourself."
Chen Qi also gently clinked his wine glass with the old Mitsui man:
"There is an old saying in China that doing business requires win-win cooperation. As a shareholder of Nipro, I will definitely consider Nipro's interests first when it comes to endoscopic surgery, so please don't worry about this, Mr. Mitsui."
In fact, Chen Qi's subtext is that you Nipro will eat the cake of endoscopy, but endoscopy is only a small part of Chen Qi's future career, and it cannot even be ranked in the top three.
So don’t expect Chen Qitin to work hard for Nipro.
But I can’t say this now.
Sure enough, Naoto Mitsui was very satisfied with Chen Qi's attitude after hearing this. Of course, only he himself knows whether he really thinks highly of this "traitor".
After finishing their journey to make a fortune in Japan, 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. That's because Yao Ming once played basketball for the Houston Rockets, so he can hear calluses in his ears.
In fact, what the Chinese people don’t know is that the most awesome thing about Houston is not basketball, but that the city has one of the largest medical centers in the world.
TMC(Texas Medical Center).
It should be noted that this medical center is not "a hospital", but consists of 54 medical-related institutions.
Including 21 hospitals, 8 professional medical institutions, 8 academic and research institutions, 4 medical schools, 7 nursing schools, 3 public health organizations, 2 pharmacies and 1 dental school.
It covers an area of 1,346 acres, has about 300 buildings, and a total construction area of 4.5 million square meters. It is the largest medical building complex in the world. It has a total number of employees of more than 100,000 and a total of 9,200 hospital beds.
It has the world's largest children's hospital and the world's largest cancer hospital. It receives 8 million medical seekers every year and performs 180,000 surgeries annually, which is equivalent to one operation every 3 minutes.
It can be said to be a behemoth integrating industry, academia and research.
When Chen Qi and his group of 20 people visited this behemoth medical center under the guidance of a tour guide, they were extremely shocked.
Even if Chen Qi is a reborn person, even if he has seen many big hospitals, dozens of top medical institutions have formed a "medical city", which still makes Chen Qi shout "Wow~~~" from time to time.<
