Chapter 921: Touching in the Ward, the New Mission of Nanshan Precision Instruments
Fang Sisi had a car accident!
Fortunately, she was fine, but she felt a little dizzy, probably with a slight concussion.
Even so, Cao Yang flew back to Yangcheng as soon as possible.
If an ordinary person had a car accident, it would be an accident.
But when people like Fang Sisi and Cao Yang had a car accident, they would definitely arrange for someone to check whether it was an accident.
Fortunately, the final situation seemed to prove that it was really an accident. Fang Sisi's own car crashed under the bridge pier next to it in order to avoid the pedestrians who suddenly appeared on Guangyuan Expressway.
Fortunately, the speed limit on Guangyuan Expressway is 80KM, and when passing under the bridge, the speed limit is changed to 60KM.
Fang Sisi drove by herself today, and she obeyed the traffic rules quite well.
So in the end, she crashed into the bridge pier at a speed of about 60KM/H.
However, even so, if Yangwang's safety was not high, there would be big problems.
After all, if you hit a concrete pier at a speed of 60KM/H, your life might be in danger.
"Ayang, I'm fine."
"The doctor said I just had a concussion, probably because I was hit by the airbag that popped out."
"Just rest for a day or two."
Fang Sisi was lucky. Although the front of the car was damaged, the cockpit was not damaged.
So Fang Sisi almost fainted from the airbag, but there were no other obvious external injuries on her body.
This was a blessing in disguise.
"In the future, you should let the driver drive, and let the bodyguard follow. It's best to have a car in front and behind, so that the possibility of a car accident is very low."
With Cao Yang's current wealth, the protection of travel is naturally not bad.
After all, he has offended many people over the years.
Who knows if someone will want to physically solve this "source of trouble" of his.
This kind of thing must be prevented.
Especially the Nanshan Group's enterprises are still a thorn in America's side. Those people are capable of anything.
"I know!"
Fang Sisi didn't want to talk much about this now, so she decisively changed the subject and said, "When I was doing a CT scan just now, I found that the hospital's CT equipment was from Siemens."
"I didn't pay much attention to it before, but after thinking about it, it seems that the various CT equipment, X-ray machines and other products in the hospital are almost all foreign brands such as Siemens, Philips and General Electric. Domestic manufacturers are very rare."
"I have just asked my secretary to arrange someone to do a special research on the medical equipment industry. I think Nanshan Precision Instruments can consider the production of medical equipment."
"There should be a lot of room for development in this area."
As the boss lady of a Nanshan Group enterprise and the general manager of Weibo, Fang Sisi's vision is naturally not bad.
It is amazing that she can find a business opportunity even after a car accident.
"Your entry point is quite good. Nanshan Precision Instruments and Nanshan Equipment can work together to develop some high-end medical equipment. It is not particularly difficult."
"With the arrival of aging, the hospital business is expected to get better and better."
"Similarly, there will be no shortage of various medical equipment needed by various hospitals."
Cao Yang naturally would not refute Fang Sisi's proposal.
Not to mention that this proposal itself makes sense, even if it is not feasible, it is worth considering spending some money to buy happiness.
After the two decided on this development direction in the ward, Nanshan Precision Instruments also took action very quickly.
Just after a week, they directly poached several people who are proficient in medical equipment.
"Mr. Cao, Mr. Xiao was a senior engineer in the Siemens Medical Imaging Diagnosis Series Division. He just returned to China last month and happened to meet us. Please come and serve as the deputy general manager of Nanshan Precision Instruments."
Pan Jinxing has always served as the general manager of Nanshan Precision Instruments. Many of the businesses there are actually split from Nanshan Equipment.
Now a medical device division has been specially established. He is not so good at this aspect, so he decisively handed it over to the newly recruited professional manager.
Nanshan Equipment already has enough things to keep him busy, so there is no need to do everything by himself.
Pan Jinxing can see this point clearly.
There is no end to the work. As a senior manager, you need to consider things beyond the specific work more often.
"Welcome Mr. Xiao to join Nanshan Precision Instruments. At present, the company is preparing to vigorously develop medical equipment. It is the time when talents from all walks of life need to work together."
Cao Yang knew about the new deputy general manager proposed by Pan Jinxing.
However, today is the first meeting, which can also be said to be a test.
If Xiao Hong's report is satisfactory, then the position of deputy general manager will naturally be hers.
On the other hand, she may need to find another job.
Xiao Hong naturally understood this situation.
So after a brief greeting, she officially began to introduce her plans.
"Although Nanshan Precision Instruments is involved in the field of medical devices for the first time, it has a very deep foundation in various measuring instruments before, and can completely benchmark Siemens to produce various products."
Nanshan Precision Instruments recruited Xiao Hong because she had rich work experience in Siemens Healthcare.
So Xiao Hong directly brought some of her plans from Siemens Healthcare.
"Siemens Healthcare has three major businesses, the first of which is the imaging diagnosis series."
"This series covers a variety of imaging diagnosis methods such as radiation, nuclear magnetic resonance, ultrasound and computer tomography. The representative product is the CT series of equipment."
"According to different clinical needs, CT equipment with speed, resolution, clinical image quantification and one-second full mathematical imaging functions that meet the needs of one-time imaging can be widely used in vascular imaging, cardiac CT, cancer detection and other aspects."
Xiao Hong quickly entered the working state and introduced the relevant situation to Cao Yang and Pan Jinxing.
"The second business is the medical laboratory diagnostic series, which covers multiple fields such as clinical immunology, laboratory diagnosis, molecular diagnosis, etc., among which the representative products are laboratory blood cell analyzers."
"This product combines core technology with application modules to provide complete blood count and biochemical parameter detection for medical institutions."
"The other is the laboratory chemical analyzer series of products. This series of products covers a variety of applications in the determination of chemical analysis, such as alcohol detection, creatinine detection, iron metabolism detection, glucose detection, etc."
While introducing the general situation of the relevant products, Xiao Hong observed the reactions of Cao Yang and Pan Jinxing, and the speed of introduction was quite fast.
"The third business is the cardiovascular diagnostic equipment series, including advanced ultrasound diagnostic systems, cardiovascular CT, nuclear medicine and other products."
"Its representative products include cardiac ultrasound equipment, which combines advanced acoustic technology, image analysis technology and ultra-sensitive detectors to accurately obtain myocardial databases and assist doctors in determining heart disease diagnosis and treatment plans."
"In addition, product series in other fields, such as therapeutic radiotherapy, operating room, ophthalmology, dentistry, etc., can also be developed according to actual conditions to meet the needs of doctors and patients in different aspects."
Obviously, Xiao Hong is really going for Siemens Medical.
As long as it is Siemens Medical's flagship product, Xiao Hong recommends research and development.
For this situation, Cao Yang and Pan Jinxing have no special opinions.
After all, Siemens Medical, Philips Medical and GE Medical are the world's three leading medical companies.
It is obviously more appropriate to develop Nanshan Precision Instruments by benchmarking them.
"In the long run, there will be no problem in developing according to your plan."
"But we can't develop all products at once, we still have to choose a few key entry points to try."
"Do you have any specific suggestions in this regard?"
Cao Yang didn't aim too high and develop all medical equipment at once.
That's simply unrealistic.
And it's not that all equipment can't be produced in China, and it still needs to invest manpower and material resources according to the situation.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to toss it in vain.
"I think we can consider starting with CT equipment. Although domestic companies such as Neusoft have launched domestic CT equipment many years ago, the core CT tubes and other parts are still imported."
"And the recognition of these domestic manufacturers by domestic hospitals is not very high. 90% of CT machines are still imported from overseas."
"If our company can break this situation and launch 100% domestic CT equipment, not only can the cost be greatly reduced, but we can also use the influence of our group to quickly open up the situation and squeeze out the CT equipment of Siemens, Philips and General Electric from the market."
Xiao Hong gave her suggestion without any hesitation.
As for whether this will have a great impact on the business of her former employer, she doesn't care at all.
Other domestic manufacturers can't handle core parts such as CT tubes, but she thinks that Nanshan companies can definitely handle it.
After all, Nanshan Equipment has already handled the difficult things on the photolithography machine, so how can it handle the parts on a CT device?
It's nothing more than transferring a few more technicians in related fields to tackle the problem.
"CT equipment is a relatively well-known device. It is a good choice to use it as a starting point to enhance the reputation of our Nanshan Precision Instruments in the field of medical devices."
"Mr. Cao, I think Xiao Hong's proposal can be considered."
Since Pan Jinxing proposed that Xiao Hong be appointed as the deputy general manager of Nanshan Precision Instruments, he obviously has confidence in her.
Although we have known each other for a short time, we must give people a certain amount of trust at the beginning.
Otherwise, it will not be so fast to achieve results.
With Pan Jinxing's position in the Nanshan system, there is no need to worry about Xiao Hong posing a threat to him.
Therefore, what he cares most about is to make the company achieve some results as soon as possible.
Cao Yang can understand these things, so he did not make any special suggestions and let Xiao Hong do it directly.
Soon, Xiao Hong officially took office.
She also started the poaching strategy very impolitely, and first poached a group of technical personnel from Siemens.
At the same time, a lot of technical personnel from General Electric and Philips Medical were also poached.
Since Nanshan companies have sufficient experience in dealing with overseas talents, Xiao Hong even poached several foreign engineers who mastered core technologies to come to China to work.
Nanshan Precision Instruments made such a big fuss, it is impossible for the industry to not know anything about it.
"Scott, Nanshan Precision Instruments must have poached a lot of your people recently, right?"
As the head of General Electric's China branch, Xiang Weimin must know Scott, the general manager of Siemens China.
The two companies are competitors in many fields, but when facing domestic manufacturers in China, they are partners.
So even though they fight to the death sometimes, you may have a good personal relationship with them.
This time, Nanshan Precision Instruments made such a big fuss, and everyone is naturally more cautious.
Today, Siemens Healthineers has not yet been separated from Siemens and listed, and all its business in China is managed by Scott.
However, the headquarters has already thought about managing Siemens Healthineers separately and listing it separately in the future.
At this juncture, Scott naturally doesn't want anything to happen.
"Don't mention it. Xiao Hong, the newly appointed vice president of Nanshan Precision Instruments, jumped to Siemens Medical."
"I specifically went to find out that Nanshan Precision Instruments' main projects in the past were measuring instruments and laboratory equipment used in various industries, and they did not design medical devices."
"This time the move is so big. They have set up a medical device division within the company and are ready to make a big move in this field."
"Obviously, the other party is targeting us."
Scott was a little worried.
Although Siemens Medical is very strong, it is not worried about how much pressure the development of those Chinese manufacturers will bring to itself.
In the medical field, whether it is various hospitals or patients, they trust foreign brands of equipment more.
This situation is definitely not something that can be reversed in a day or two.
So even if their equipment is more expensive, everyone will still choose to use their equipment.
It will take a long time to change this situation.
At that time, he may not be responsible for the business in the Huaxia area.
But this time when Nanshan Precision Instruments entered this market, the situation was different.
Siemens had dealt with Nanshan companies before.
In the end, Siemens suffered a huge loss in the CNC system of machine tools from Nanshan equipment and was almost driven out of the Chinese market.
Even in the international market, it was affected to a certain extent.
Later in the field of wind power equipment, Siemens suffered heavy losses due to Nanshan equipment and other companies.
This time, when Nanshan companies entered the field of medical devices, he paid special attention.
After all, Nanshan companies are very different from other Chinese companies.
If they don't pay attention, the pattern of the Chinese market may change dramatically.
General Electric actually has some feelings about this.
"The potential of China's medical device market is the largest in the world. In recent years, many hospitals in China have been constantly building hospitals and expanding their scale, and the demand for purchasing various equipment is relatively high."
"According to past experience, 80% of the market for this part of new equipment is divided up by several of us."
"Now that Nanshan Precision Instruments has emerged, I am worried that they will cause trouble."
As a Chinese, Xiang Weimin has a very strong sense of the special status and influence of Nanshan-based companies in China.
It can be said that as long as Nanshan-based companies want to do something, it is difficult for them to fail.
In the past ten years, they have proved this with countless achievements.
Anyone who does not believe in evil is basically unlucky.
So even if Nanshan Precision Instruments had no relevant experience in the field of medical devices before, Xiang Weimin did not dare to despise it.
"It is inevitable that they will cause trouble, but I think their biggest possibility is to seize the market through price wars."
"I think we can take action one step ahead and lower the prices of related equipment appropriately so that their price war will not have such a big effect."
Scott naturally does not want to engage in a price war.
But if the price is not lowered appropriately, the price difference between everyone will be too big, and there may be no market share at all.
For example, the sales price of CT equipment in China is twice as high as the price exported to the United States.
There is definitely a lot of room for price reduction here.
After all, even if the equipment is sold in China, at least 10% of the equipment payment must be paid, but it is actually about the same in the United States.
If you want to do business well, if you really believe in complete fairness and justice, then the company is almost bankrupt.
Fairness and justice are just an attitude shown when you have an absolute advantage.
"It's not impossible. I'm just afraid that Nanshan Precision Instruments will directly make the equipment very cheap, or intervene in the bidding through administrative means, then our situation will be very troublesome."
As long as China has relatively good domestic equipment to replace itself, the price of foreign equipment will immediately come down.
Such situations have emerged in many cases in the past.
So Scott is not unacceptable to price cuts.
But he is worried that others will directly make the price very cheap.
There will be no way to compete.
After all, Chinese manufacturers can often reduce costs to the point where others can't make a loss.
If Nanshan companies are ruthless, it will definitely make people feel scared.
"No matter what happens, we have to give it a try, otherwise there will be no way to report to the headquarters."
After Xiang Weimin said this, Scott couldn't help but nodded.
To some extent, their situations are similar.
However, the situation is definitely worse than they imagined.
Because there are many people who pay attention to the changes in Nanshan companies.
There are also many people in relevant departments and localities in China who want to attract investment and projects from Nanshan-related companies.
In order to have more and better projects in their jurisdictions, many places are trying to give the green light to Nanshan-related companies.
For example, Liu Tianwu is now bringing a delegation from Chang'an Province to Yangcheng to visit Nanshan Semiconductor and other companies.
At the same time, he also specifically mentioned the medical equipment of Nanshan Precision Instruments.
As he has always been concerned about the development of Nanshan-related companies, he naturally knows that Nanshan Precision Instruments has recently begun to enter the medical equipment market.
In this field, Liu Tianwu is definitely capable of helping Nanshan Precision Instruments.
After all, medical equipment is something that any hospital needs to use.
In Chang'an Province, let alone prefecture-level cities, every county and every township must have its own hospital.
This is definitely a very large market.
Although it is already 2014, many county-level hospitals actually do not have CT equipment.
Not to mention some more advanced equipment.
In order to change this situation, departments at all levels are constantly trying to find ways to make the equipment of county-level hospitals more complete.
For Nanshan Precision Instruments, this is definitely a market worth looking forward to.
"Mr. Cao, will Nanshan Precision Instruments' medical equipment be available this year?"
In a small-scale communication, Liu Tianwu directly threw out his ideas to communicate with Cao Yang.
Don't look at the other party's equipment has not yet been produced.
But Liu Tianwu is very confident, knowing that as long as the other party dares to take it out, it must be competitive.
Not to mention better than international giants such as Siemens and Philips, at least it will not be far behind.
This has been proven in all Nanshan companies.
Liu Tianwu doesn't think Cao Yang will fall here.
"This year should not be a big problem, but at the beginning only a part of the equipment will be launched, and then it will be gradually improved."
Although Cao Yang was a little surprised that the topic of Nanshan Precision Instruments would be brought up today.
But he soon guessed some of Liu Tianwu's ideas.
This kind of thing is very beneficial to the development of Nanshan Precision Instruments Medical Devices, so he naturally would not refuse.
In any country's medical device market, if a company wants to expand the market quickly, it is definitely difficult to rely solely on technology.
At this time, the support of relevant departments is very important.
"At that time, our Chang'an Province will consider some reforms in the bidding method of medical equipment. As long as the equipment can be produced domestically, we will give priority to purchasing domestic equipment."
"I will arrange someone to contact you later. As long as your equipment can meet the needs, it will definitely be given priority."
Everyone is familiar with each other.
After all, it was a public matter, and Liu Tianwu did not personally profit from it.
So he directly expressed his thoughts.
Cao Yang naturally accepted this good intention with a smile.
