godfather of surgery

Chapter 435

Synthes, a manufacturer of AO internal fixation devices, was acquired by Johnson & Johnson.

Johnson & Johnson re-integrated the acquired Depuy, which greatly increased its strength and became the world's largest mobile device in the field of orthopedic devices, followed by Zimmer Biomet.

Zimmer Biomet was originally two companies, and after the merger, it became the second largest orthopedic device company in the world.

At this time, Synthes was in a scientific research institute in Switzerland, and a routine meeting was being held.

Johnson & Johnson's China branch submitted a document to the US headquarters, and the headquarters referred it to the Swiss research institute.

Among the several scientific research institutes of Syntheses around the world, the Swiss research institute has the strongest technical force.

The spinal external fixator mentioned in this document is derived from the external fixator of trauma orthopedics. Synthes's strongest field is trauma orthopedics equipment, so naturally it is most suitable for them to evaluate.

The headquarters hopes that they will evaluate the technology recorded in this document and whether it has the value of investment and cooperation.

"This set of equipment has not even entered animal experiments at present, and there is no preliminary data. It needs to invest a huge amount of money to cooperate? The proposer is simply crazy, wasting our time."

Chandler, the chief engineer of the Syndis Swiss Research Institute, typed a thick document.

"Who else is currently interested in participating?" Chandler asked.

"Besides us, there is also a very small Chinese company whose name I don't remember." The secretary replied.

"The CEO of the Chinese branch decided to cooperate with this Dr. Yang privately, which violated the company's procedures. Their Chinese company also strongly opposed it. It is said that this proposal came from a sales manager. Only one engineer in the Chinese research institute agreed, and the rest were opposed. .” The secretary added.

"Are we down to a situation where we're competing for a project with a small, unknown company?" Chandler was still angry.

"I have studied this information, it looks very beautiful, but many key things do not conform to the principles of biology and physics at all, and there is no animal experiment, it is something on paper." Another engineer was not polite.

"Let's vote, they wait for our conclusion."

"We are all engineers. We have been focusing on trauma and orthopedic devices for decades. We have never seen such humorous technical materials. There are no animal experiments, and we still speak clearly and logically, which is simply self-justified."

"Do you have any comments? If not, let's go to the next stage, vote. The gentlemen in the US headquarters are waiting for our report, so that we can get rid of the Chinese CEO." Chandler knocked on the conference table.

A young bald-headed engineer, after everyone stopped discussing, spoke slowly: "I disagree with everyone's opinion, this information is disguised, I tell you bluntly, everyone sitting here, no one can Writing such technical information allows you to see the outline of the technology and even some details, but it is impossible to use it for production. All key technologies have been disguised. This is an extremely clever technical information. Camouflage technology is often used in patent applications."

"It can clearly protect patents from infringement, and allow opponents to obtain detailed patent information. There is no way to copy technology. If you want to copy, you must break through numerous disguises and continue to trial and error. If you are lucky, wait until the truth is revealed. A few years later, a new generation of technology is already out."

"Look, if I haven't guessed, these 120 drawings will soon appear on the patent protection document. The real drawings are in a certain reorganization of these 120 drawings. Think about it, how much information is this , It cleverly protects intellectual property rights, but disassembles the technology, disrupts the reorganization, and prevents you from copying."

"If I say something impolite, this young doctor's ability to design devices surpasses all of us here, and his ability to realize technology is amazing."

The bald engineer's tone was lazy, with a hint of arrogance.

"Siro, what is technical realization capability?" someone asked.

"Generally people design a product to go through simulation experiments, animal experiments, human experiments, improve it based on the experimental data, and repeat it many times before it can mature. This product gives me the impression that it is mature when it appears, or the designer has mastered computer simulation. Experimental technology, or his ability to bridge the theory and practice of technology is amazing, he can directly see the future evolution of technology, the problems in the evolution process, and then directly solve the problem at the theoretical level." Take your time.

"Are you talking to everyone seriously?" Chandler has always disliked this guy, and he didn't come here for long, and put on a gesture of knowing everything.

"I'm serious, very serious, my opinion - to take over the trial production business of this set of equipment, and obtain priority exclusive patent authorization. In the future, in spinal surgery, we can dominate for at least 20 years. You see, the Chinese branch's The opinion of this young engineer is clearly written, and his vision surpasses most of us. I suggest that this Chinese engineer be transferred to the Swiss R&D headquarters, or immediately promote him as the chief engineer of the China Research Institute.”

Ciro shrugged: "My opinion is over, please go ahead."

"You sound like a chief engineer, but unfortunately you are not?" the secretary laughed.

"That's right, I'm not, so we will soon fall behind our peers. The good news is that Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, Medtronic, Smith & Nephew have not moved, and even Medtronic has not moved. I can only say, a bunch of idiots. Ciro didn't mind the secretary's ridicule.

"Please pay attention to your words and deeds, and maintain basic courtesy." Chandler tapped on the table.

"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, but arrogance is! This small Chinese company is called Ruixing, you remember its name, and it will be your worst enemy in the future." Xi Luo warned.

"Haha——" Someone couldn't help laughing.

"This company is being ravaged by Johnson & Johnson, don't you know? We can kill it at any time. It steals our patents. As long as we want, we can make it never turn around again." The secretary beamed and provided the latest information to Shiro .

"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is! I repeat this sentence, I suggest you read this book, I read it three times, it was written by a Chinese, "Three-Body", you know what dimensionality reduction strike is Do you mean? In the near future, you will understand, oh, not understand, but experience." Shiro took out a book.

The guy had a meeting to read novels, and Chandler got even angrier.

"Panic maker, if I can, I would like to ban you from speaking, but I don't have this power, your words will be recorded, you have one vote against, but nothing can be changed, we will not invest such a large amount of money in inexplicable Technically, do you know how difficult it is to treat scoliosis with external fixators?" Chandler maintained his demeanor.

"I know, we can't do it, but it doesn't mean others can't, it's your mindset!" Ciro finished reading and began to read.

"This is a trap. They want to cooperate and obtain our key technologies and processes. We cannot fall into the trap of the Chinese."

"The project we need to invest in and cooperate with should be the project of Dr. Mitsui Fusuke, Affiliated Hospital of the University of Tokyo, Japan."

"This thing gives me a headache just looking at it. To be honest, I abstained because I didn't understand it."

"Okay, everyone vote!"

"One vote is in favor, one vote is abstention, and the rest are against. If you have no objection, please check the minutes of your speeches and sign on them. The minutes of the meeting will be attached to the report. Our conclusions will be reported to the US headquarters and become the basis for decision-making at the headquarters. .”

After finishing the meeting, Mr. Chandler did not forget to cast a fierce glance at Ciro who was quietly reading a book.
-
Huang Jiacai bought a plane ticket to Chengdu, Sichuan, then rented a car and rushed to Gan Fengyi's hometown. For some reason, except for his own sister, he had never been so worried about anyone.

Something must have happened to Gan Fengyi. This strong woman was crying on the spot in her office.

Huang Jiacai, who has always been rational and calm, felt that it was very reckless for him to come to Gan Fengyi's hometown like this, and he would even be laughed at, but at this time he couldn't restrain himself, and now he felt that he had controlled Huang Jiacai's brain.

I rented a car from Chengdu and came to Pujiang County, then went down to the township, and went straight to Gan Fengyi's hometown.

This is a small village. According to the address he found out, Huang Jiacai did not dare to stop for a moment. He urged the driver to hurry up. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, there happened to be a family with a woman in her 50s pressing water to wash vegetables at the door.

Huang Jiacai asked the driver to stop, claiming to be Gan Fengyi's colleague, and went up to inquire. The old woman was very vigilant, but when she heard about Gan Fengyi, she immediately smiled, invited Huang Jiacai to sit in the room, and brought tea to Huang Jiacai.

The woman obviously respected Gan Fengyi's family very much. When she heard that she was looking for Gan Fengyi, she was warm and polite: "Are you a colleague of the daughter of the Gan family, Xiaofeng?"

"Well, we are colleagues. I passed by Chengdu on a business trip. The company asked me to send something to her, but the phone couldn't get through, so I sent it directly. Auntie, look, this is my ID card." Huang Jiacai was afraid of being misunderstood.

The woman glanced at it, but didn't take a closer look: "Look at you, you are gentle, you look like a talent, and you don't look like a liar. Hey, Mrs. Gan was hospitalized a few days ago. I heard it was very serious. She is living in the county hospital. Feng heard the news and rushed back, she is really filial, what a girl."

"Look, have you seen that school? It was built with money from Xiaofeng. There are several college students in the village who study with money from Xiaofeng. Every year when they come back, she will come to every household in the village to give gifts, and she will also give red envelopes to the elderly. The child has a good heart and never forgets his roots."

"The girl's father died early. More than 20 years ago, there was a flood in the village. Her father was the village party secretary. He was washed away by the water in order to save people. Hey, most of the people in this village were rescued by Secretary Gan. I was exhausted. The strength was washed away by the water, and the two of them, sister and brother, were brought up by Mrs. Gan, and this girl has been sensible since she was a child."

The woman's eyes got wet while chatting.

"Look, why am I telling you this?"

"To be honest, Auntie, I was sent by Gan's head office to see Mrs. Gan, but I have been unable to get in touch with Gan, and I am in a hurry." Huang Jiacai said along the way.

"Oh, just right, you come with me, I'm about to pack up the house and go to the county to take care of Aunt Gan."

The woman was busy on the phone, as if calling some car.

"Auntie, don't call the car. I rented a car. Let's go together?"

"Okay, wait for me, I'll pack my things."

Hearing this, Huang Jiacai was inexplicably worried again, something really happened, this woman.
