Chen Qi is confident in the several cases of rare diseases he has discovered.

Didn't you see that the Mayo Clinic took the initiative to come to Vietnam and China to ask for cooperation? This proves that the academic value of these cases is very, very high.

Since you have a gold mine, others must pay something if they want to share it.

What Mayo paid was a complete implant medical center (albeit with second-hand equipment) and US$15 million, coupled with "friendship", this is already full of sincerity.

So what should Sysmex be blackmailing?

Chen Qi's eyes began to move wildly again, and suddenly when he saw the word "gene" on the test report, an idea came to his mind.

"Mr. Takada, the cooperation between your company and our hospital has been very pleasant over the years, and you have given us discounts for several tests we have done. I will always keep your friendship with Sysmex in mind."

East Asians talk like this, they like to talk in circles.

Takada Yuuto was not a fool. He knew that the meat show was coming, so he sat up straight.

"Chen Sang, we have always cherished our personal friendship with the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and you. We believe we will be the best partners."

Chen Qi gritted his teeth, regardless of whether he would be beaten to death or not, the lion opened his mouth and said:

"Mr. Takada, you have also seen that our hospital is doing more and more genetic testing business, and more and more rare cases are being discovered, not only intersex and chimera, but also genetic traceability cases, Klinefelter

syndrome cases, etc.

These cases have extremely high research value, but countries all over the world are studying related cases. Everyone is a competitor. It depends on who can find the cause of the disease first and publish a paper. Whoever can be the first to find the cause and publish a paper will be the final winner. For the time being, we are better than China.

The hospital is far ahead.

In addition, you see, the white three-story building outside the window is our trial operation of the Implantology Medical Center. My goal is to build the largest and world-class Implantation Medical Center in China, which requires the support of genetic testing technology.

And the business will not be bad.

So my idea is that our Yuezhong Hospital and your Sysmex company will jointly set up a genetic testing center in our country, and then our genetic databases can be shared. What do you think?"

Takada Yuto was a little stupid, and he was a little shocked at Chen Qi's arrogance.

You must know that genetic testing laboratories are still an emerging international cutting-edge technology, and the equipment is sky-high.

A complete genetic testing center, equipped with all instruments and equipment, computers, high-end laboratories, researcher labor costs, etc., would not be affordable without $230 million.

Good guy, even if there is a cooperation between China and Japan, according to the policy, Sysmex can only account for 49%, and at least that will require an investment of almost 100 million US dollars.

Yuto Takada looked at this simple dean's office, which didn't even have air conditioning or a computer. Could such a "poor" hospital jointly invest 100 million US dollars?

So Yuuto Takada was a little unimpressed with Chen Qi’s proposal:

"Director Chen, you are joking. The investment cost of a genetic testing center is very huge. Not to mention your hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, even our Sysmex company can't afford it."

Seeing that the fish didn't take the bait, Chen Qi could only continue to lie:

"Mr. Takada, don't worry about this. We at Yuezhong Hospital are not greedy. We can even accept second-hand equipment, just like our biomedical center. All the equipment used by Mayo is provided free of charge. Although it is a bit old, it is

It’s completely sufficient.”

Yuuto Takada thought that if it was possible to provide second-hand goods, then this cooperation seemed to be really feasible.

Machinery and equipment, like mobile phones and cars in later generations, lose half of their value once they are launched.

If the equipment has been used for several years, in fact, it is not much more expensive at flea markets like San Francisco in the United States. At most, you can get it at about 30% off the price of a new machine.

Chen Qi took out another case from his desk.

"Mr. Takada, look, this is a patient we just received. We found that the baby's cry was exactly like a kitten's meow, and the child had a special face, similar to a patient with 21 chromosome abnormality.

Now we estimate that it is also a special, rare chromosomal disease that requires the help of genetic testing. If it is finally confirmed to be another rare disease, the academic value will be immeasurable."

Even in 2023, only more than 200 cases of meowing syndrome have been discovered in the world. It is definitely a rare disease among rare diseases.

For pharmaceutical companies, more than 200 cases of rare diseases have no research or commercial value at all.

But for the medical community, a rare disease with only more than 200 cases in the world's history is no less than the Mount Everest of medicine. How many doctors and professors want to climb this peak, standing at the top of medicine and looking down on their peers.

Sure enough, when Yuuto Takada heard that another rare case of rare disease had been discovered at Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, his attitude immediately softened.

I thought to myself, dear, are rare diseases so easy to detect? How many cases of rare diseases has this Vietnamese Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine discovered in recent years? How many papers has it published?

This kind of top-notch paper will be read and verified by doctors all over the world. It is very valuable in terms of advertising effect.

As a large genetic testing company, all Sysmex equipment is backed up, and some have more than one or two.

Yuto Takada calculated in his mind to see if he could piece together the equipment needed for a complete genetic laboratory at the minimum cost.

Sampling analyzers, electrophoresis detectors, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR equipment, plasmid separators, gene sequencers, mass spectrometers, microdilution analyzers, biological system chips, enzyme-linked immunosorbent analyzers, etc.

There are also other related equipment: such as water bath temperature controller, micro-weighing formula computer, etc.

Even if all second-hand goods are used, the total amount will not be less than 30 million US dollars.

30 million US dollars is not a huge amount for Sysmex and the consortium behind it. Compared with the huge market in China and the huge academic value of the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, this business can be done.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yuuto Takada has made up his mind:

"Okay, Chen Sang, your proposal is quite feasible, but if we can only hold 49% of the shares, then we can only contribute half of the capital at most. Can you Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital get the remaining half of the money?

?”

Chen Qi really can't come up with the 15 million US dollars now. The money donated by Hong Kong's wealthy people has been spent to some extent, and the Mayo research team's money cannot be misappropriated.

If you don’t have money, it’s a tradition for people in a certain country to act like a fool if you don’t have money.

"Mr. Takada, that's not how the accounts are calculated. Think about it, if the two of us cooperate, then all our rare cases can be put into this testing center. This is an intangible resource. In addition, we can also provide venues, personnel, etc."

wait.

The most important thing is that Mr. Takada cooperated with us because of the advertising effect. When we publish the paper, we can give special thanks to Sysmex, and even let you become the third author. The fourth author is not unreasonable.

.”

When Yuto Takada heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, thinking that if you said that, I would not be sleepy anymore.

Generally, commercial organizations pay real money to some scientific research institutions, and the final paper will only have an acknowledgment link, and most of the time they will not get the data or patents they want.

It's like being taken advantage of.

Therefore, ordinary small companies do not dare to engage in any sponsorship at all. If they themselves cannot survive, how can they have money to spend on others?

But having the right of authorship is different. It means that the company has changed from a sponsor to a collaborator, and it can share the results.

(Chen Qi: Sharing results is too much. We are not in engineering or computer science or other disciplines where patents can make money. It is difficult to apply for patents in medical research. You can get a name, but it is not profitable.)

"Okay, since Chen Sang said so, how can we cooperate?"

"In this way, you Sysmex will provide all the equipment and personnel training, and we will jointly establish a genetic testing center with cases and venues from the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Then we can share the results and interconnect the databases. What do you think?"

Sysmex will definitely suffer from this plan, and Yuezhong Hospital is a waste of money.

But from the perspective of "famousness", Sysmex has taken a ride on the success of Yuezhong Hospital. The only uncertainty is whether Yuezhong Hospital can continue to be amazing.

Business is risky. Yuto Takada thought for a long time and finally gave the answer the next day:

Can cooperate.

The two parties quickly signed an agreement. There is still a case of cat meowing syndrome in front of us, so it became the first project of cooperation between the two parties.

Japan stated that it would deliver a complete set of experimental equipment to the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital as quickly as possible.

After all, there is no need to wait for second-hand goods. Yuuto Takada can make a phone call in Japan and they can be packed and shipped to China immediately.

Chen Qi also has an urgent need, because the new building of Yuezhong Hospital is preparing to open after the Spring Festival, and now is the last moment for the equipment to be brought in.

Now that the equipment is ready at once, one can brag about it when it opens, and the other is to save time and money from having to rearrange the decoration team.

The Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital received a complete reproductive medical center from Mayo, and now it also received a complete genetic testing center from Japan. This rumor quickly spread to major hospitals across the country, and finally to scientific research institutions.

Now, how many deans and directors have broken glasses?

While other hospitals or scientific research institutions are still worrying about how to buy a machine, Yuezhong Hospital is actually rich enough to get two complete sets of high-end equipment in one go.

Just like during the war, other troops were still using Hanyang-made weapons, but you were already showing off with an American-made M16 assault rifle. How could you tolerate this?

So pinkeye appeared one after another.

After all, Yuezhong Hospital is just a local hospital with insufficient foundation and low level. Suddenly rich, there are too many people who are not convinced.

It's like a child holding a golden doll in his arms. Who wouldn't want to grab it?

The new outpatient building, twin buildings (inpatient department), and emergency room building of Yuezhong Hospital have been fully completed, and the decoration work has been successfully completed.

Various medical equipment that Chen Qi spent more than 30 million US dollars on before have also entered the market, because many of the equipment require special personnel to install and debug.

So the People's Hospital has been extremely busy these days, with foreign engineers and Chinese engineers coming in and out, just like the Canton Fair.

Chen Qi and all the leaders of the hospital team are all focused on the new building, and the work is complicated.

Fortunately, the Xinyue Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a new building next to the old hospital. It is easier to move because everyone can go to work in the most advanced and fashionable building of this era. The medical staff are all excited.

In addition, the sense of ownership is relatively strong these days, and everyone regards the hospital as their home.

Therefore, even without the urging of leaders, many doctors voluntarily participated in the relocation project, and moved the equipment and materials in the department to the new hospital bit by bit when they had nothing to do.

Just like ants moving, there is no rush when moving all at once. The entire Yuezhong Hospital is in order.

Chen Qi also experienced the relocation of a new hospital in his previous life, and the scene was spectacular.
