Demolition Earth

Chapter 59

Here I have to talk about the ownership structure of the company Blue Sky.

[-]% of the shares belonged to Yang Fan, which in name belonged to Lan Tian, ​​[-]% belonged to the European Union, and [-]% belonged to the opera troupe government.Of course, this is a share in Xi Banya's branch company, and Bolan's branch company has also started, but it will transfer [-]% of Xi Banya's shares to Bolan.

In other words, the combined shares of the EU and the country where the company is located will reach [-]%.

Although limited to the agreed conditions, Yang Fan is in charge of the company's operations. In theory, Lan Tian can be dictatorial, but in actual operation, this is not necessary. Yang Fan has no instructions in this regard. He started the company for two purposes, one is to make money, Because money is the best tool to deal with human beings, and the second is communication, so that people on earth gradually realize that he is kind.

Therefore, he also advocated that Lan Tian should respect the opinions of some "partners" more, and it is okay to make a little less money when necessary.

According to Lan Tian and his team's initial vision of the company's possible problems, they are not worried about other competitors in the market-for S Therapeutics, all existing medical technologies on the earth look like ancient Witch doctors are as backward and barbaric as modern medicine.

If you have cancer, you need to inject chemicals to kill the normal cells together; if you have abnormal tissues, you need to operate with a human to cut off or replace the corresponding tissues...Operating is like dismantling a machine, dismantling it. Come to replace the parts, blood is flowing everywhere like engine oil, doctors are like professional repairmen, all kinds of tools are used in turn, organs are cut and then stitched, and bad tissues are thrown away and replaced with new ones.

And S therapy, a cabinet, you lie in, the blood vessels will be connected to a syringe-like device, and then there is almost no sensation, no pathological pain, no surgical wounds and bleeding, the only trouble may feel a bit boring , and in surgery involving the brain, the patient is anesthetized.After the treatment is completed, the patient walks out of the cabinet. Many people still don't believe that the treatment has been completed, but they will not realize this fact until the physical examination is over-they are already normal and healthy people.

Once such technology is expanded and opened up to the entire market, it will be great news for both the government and ordinary people.

What Lan Tian was worried about at the beginning was that the European Union and the countries participating in the experiment would unite to drive down the company's profits.

After all, they deal with a group of officials, and the company does not belong to them. Even if they make money, the profits go into the pockets of the government, and this kind of money is all earned from patients.

When formulating a business plan, Lan Tian and his team naturally tended to formulate a profit-oriented plan, which included aggressive marketing strategies—after the agreed transition period, the company relied on its technological monopoly Substantial increases in treatment costs, rapid expansion of profits, squeezed existing quota transactions, and quickly transformed the company from an ambiguous government-enterprise partnership in the experimental stage to normal business logic.

But Lan Tian and the others also considered at the time that maybe the European Union and the troupe government would not agree, because in their opinion, these people are likely to be more inclined to implement the strategy of affordable medical care because of their political achievements and the needs of public opinion. Lan Tian thinks they may They don't pay much attention to the company's profits. It may be more important to them to use the blue sky to win some votes for their governance.

Lan Tian once specifically asked Yang Fan about this issue, and Yang Fan said that profit is not important for the time being, that is to say, it seems that the maximum compromise is acceptable to Yang Fan.

But Lan Tian seemed to guess wrong.

At the company's first board meeting, when Lan Tian presented his plan, all the representatives sent by the government seemed to have no objection to the plan. Compared with expensive medical expenses, and this kind of naked Monopoly profits, they are more concerned about another topic: the company's profits.

Later, Lan Tiancai found out that the Xipanya government and the European Union each had a team of actuaries. Before they came to the meeting, they had already made their own decisions.The core of their decision-making is not to say how much money Blue Sky's technology can save the country in medical care, but on the contrary, how much money Blue Sky can help the country earn.

The opera troupe is the first batch of experimental countries, and it is only natural that they feel that they can also get the sweetest first bite of cake in the monopoly market.

So they almost unreservedly support Lantian's pricing strategy.A big reason for their support is that the opera troupe can use the blue sky to make money from patients all over Europe and even the world.

Of course, they will use part of the money to feed back their own people, but for the most part, the current ruling party of Xibanya still hopes that it may be able to use this to carry out better structural transformation of Xibanya's economy.

And the European Union seems to have anticipated today even earlier, perhaps when they decided to cooperate with Yang Fan. They have foreseen that with the gradual expansion of the blue sky in Europe, these countries will be required to implement unification without reservation. The price parity strategy is obviously not feasible.Just because of one thing, ordinary people are too poor.

The total treatment quota is limited and controlled by Yang Fan. Before the establishment of Blue Sky, Yang Fan made it clear that there will be a small upper limit for the number of S treatment instruments. The positioning of S treatment instruments is " Only for diseases that cannot be solved by people on earth", that is to say, for highly difficult terminal diseases.

According to Blue Sky's plan, the number of therapeutic devices deployed throughout Europe may not exceed 1000 within a few years. According to the current efficiency of a therapeutic device that treats less than 6 people per day on average, one day is The quota for 6000 people is more than 200 million treatment quotas a year.

According to Blue Sky's plan, nearly one-third of the more than 1000 units may be used in "other fields", that is to say, there are only about 150 million places.

The number of new cancer patients around the world every year, plus other non-cancer major diseases, may exceed 3000 million.

Even if two-thirds are removed, assuming that these 2000 million people can be temporarily maintained by the existing medical technology on the earth, and only the 1000 million people most in need receive "necessary treatment", the gap will reach almost 80%. In other words, out of five to six people on average, only one can get a place.

Then, how to select the lucky one from five or six people?

Will the government issue quotas?There is no doubt that no matter how the government distributes, some people will question the unfairness.

Behind every patient, there will be a touching story, a happy family, a group of expecting family members, or other stories.

If these stories are carefully designed by a director, turned into movies and sold in movie theaters, they may be able to reap a lot of tears, banknotes and statuettes, but if these stories are crazily publicized by the media, it will be a disaster for everyone. .

The one who was saved might be grateful, but what about the five who were not saved?Will they be on the hospital bed, quietly waiting to die?Knowing that his illness can be cured?

As long as the government has made a choice, all the crimes after this will naturally be borne by the government.And what is the best option?The government does not intervene in it and leaves it to the market.

This is the most effective way for humans to allocate scarce resources so far—whoever has more money will naturally get the quota.

Compared with the lottery-style quota allocation, the bidding mechanism has another advantage, that is, if one rich person gets treatment, the money he spends can be used to appease the remaining five.Now the price of a quota on the market is as high as several million euros, and there is often a price but no market. If the millions of euros are shared equally with other patients, they may feel that there is nothing wrong with waiting at home to die, at least they can Change some money.Of course, how much money can be spent on patients depends entirely on the mood of the government.

To be honest, before the emergence of S therapy, a large part of medical methods were actually of this type.

Pharmaceutical companies have spent a high price to develop a certain drug, forming a temporary monopoly, so only the rich can afford the treatment.

In front of the price, most people are actually resigned to their fate.

But this time, no one knew why, and everyone suddenly refused to recognize it.

Thanks to "wewe88", "Fengliu", "Qingsijiu", "Lufala" and "Wuchou" for their rewards!
