I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 281 Completed new product design by accident

Iris Clinic has not had a team building for a long time, so after Zhou Qiao came back this time, he took everyone to have a meal again.

What's more enjoyable than a free meal?If so, that’s two meals.

At three hundred US dollars per person, this standard meal is definitely OK!Park Yoona and Ariel were also called.

Murphy's mother came with him for the first time.She was not very familiar with the others, but Ariel was definitely her great savior, so she and Ariel sat together, and they talked and laughed from time to time, as if they had been close friends for many years.

Recalling that time, Ariel drove an off-road vehicle and braved a hail of bullets to pick her up. Thinking about the current security level in San Francisco, it seems like it was a lifetime ago.

Especially recently, it is said that many big shots are coming, and the streets in San Francisco are being flushed and sanitation carried out, and the environmental sanitation has been greatly improved.

Among the dishes this time, there is a purple potato pancake, which is relatively rare in San Francisco. Murphy, Elena and Park Yoona especially love it, especially little Yoona. By the end of the meal, she couldn't help but lick her fingers.

Park Xiuzhu was shocked and immediately stopped her bad habit.I was really scared because Yoona had eaten her hair before.

Everyone just laughed and said, "It's okay. It's very common to lick your fingers."

Elena and Ava looked at each other and laughed secretly.Because they also licked it.Still very intoxicated.

Rachel's piriformis syndrome has been greatly relieved by taking medicine and practicing the [-]-position aerobics taught by Zhou Qiao. It is estimated that it will not take long, as long as she persists for a few more days, she will completely recover.

"It feels so good to be healthy!" Rachel was in a very happy mood, saying that she would no longer sit and watch TV dramas as before, but would continue to devote herself to fitness.

She used to go to Chinatown and dance square dances with Chinese aunts, but later she stopped because of those short plays. Now she has picked up this hobby again.

Stephanie is also in a very good mood, because her mother's condition is getting better day by day, and now she can occasionally go downstairs for a walk and chat with the neighbors.

The neighbors didn't think there was anything unusual.

The next day, the community hospital referred a complicated patient with aortic dissection, but the condition was somewhat special and not an ordinary aortic dissection.

The aorta, originating from the heart, is arguably the largest artery in the human body and is equivalent to a tubular highway that supplies blood to the entire body.

If the "pavement" of this highway cracks, then blood is pumped into the aortic wall and an aortic dissection can occur.

If there is a problem on the "highway", you can imagine how dangerous it is. "Large-scale car accidents" occur every minute.Once an aortic rupture occurs, the mortality rate is quite high.

Aortic dissection is also graded.

This patient is the most difficult and most difficult "surgery restricted area".

He had lesions in the aortic arch, an area connected to three arteries that supply blood to the brain and upper limbs - the innominate artery, the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery.

In other words, the intersection of the "main road" and three important "branch roads", such an important hub, has become diseased.Can it be compared to aortic dissection in other places?
In this case, if conventional covered stent implantation is used, it is impossible to seal and repair the "cracked road surface" while maintaining the smooth flow of the three branch "main roads".

And that's just one of them.

Secondly, the patient's "highway cracking problem" is located in the descending part of the aortic arch, and one end involves the distal end of the aorta, while the other end is progressing to the proximal end of the aorta, getting closer and closer to the heart.Conservative treatment may not last long.Once it progresses to the heart area, there is no way to recover.

Third, the aorta is protected by three layers of inner, middle and outer membranes. A tear appears on the intima-media, and high-pressure blood flow rushes into it, just like splitting sugar cane, forcibly tearing the aortic wall open, forming a A new "wild road", blood flowed on the "highway" and the "wild road" divided into two directions.However, the outermost structure of this "wild road" is very thin and has a very low tolerance to arterial pressure. It is very easy to rupture. Once it ruptures, the consequences will be disastrous.

Fourth, based on the medical history and CTA imaging examination, the patient had undergone liver cancer resection four years ago. Open surgery at this time would be too invasive and the risk of surgery was very high.In other words, his body does not allow for open surgery anymore.This kind of blow is too great, and most patients cannot bear it.

Fifth, the vascular surgery department of community hospitals currently has not found an ideal intraluminal instrument that can solve this problem under "minimally invasive" surgery.

The five major difficulties worried the doctors at the community hospital to death. After careful consideration, after a few days of conservative treatment for the patient, the community hospital heard that Zhou Qiao was back, so it couldn't wait to transfer the patient.

Of course, since Iris Clinic is affiliated with a community hospital and does not have a ward, patients still stay in the community hospital.

However, after the transfer, everything was taken over by Iris Clinic.Then Iris Clinic will issue bills for the expenses incurred by the other party.

Zhou Qiao's temperament has always been to face difficulties. When he saw such a difficult case, he immediately became very interested. He immediately took Murphy and Stephanie together for a consultation in the small conference room, and discussed the condition in full swing. .

If this order is successful, the profit will be quite generous.

One person is weak, two people are strong, let alone three medical geniuses now.

Only when discussing such professional problems can Murphy and Stephanie put aside their prejudices and collaborate together.

Soon, they came up with a plan and divided their forces into two groups based on the patient's condition!
First, an individualized conservative drug treatment plan was drawn up, and Stephanie was responsible for paying close attention to it. At the same time, Park Xiuzhu, an effective man, was sent there to monitor closely in the ward of the community hospital.As soon as something happens, Murphy and Stephanie will be notified immediately.Anyway, they are close enough that they can rush over for rescue at any time.

Second, the three of them worked together to design and perfect a new stent. Compared with other stents on the market, this stent has three holes and corresponding branch stents to target the three "main roads" connected to the aortic arch.

Combined with the pre-bent design and adjustable bending design of the stent, it can adapt to most patients' anatomy and complex arch shapes.

Looking at the sketches on the table, Zhou Qiao fell into deep thought: "Let me go and innovate and design a new bracket product in one afternoon?"

You know, this time, the three of them expressed their own opinions and kept thinking of ways to improve the patient's condition. What they drew did not rely on the system.

Looking at this stent, Zhou Qiao liked it no matter how much he liked it. He felt that it was great and could definitely meet the needs of this patient.

Not only that, many other patients of the same type can use it.

This kind of stent has a mesh structure and is "soft". The curvature can be adjusted according to the patient's specific blood vessel shape to make it fit perfectly.

There is no such product on the market.If there was one, they would just buy it and use it.It was precisely because I couldn't buy the right one that I designed it myself and planned to customize it.

Soon, Murphy and Stephanie also reacted.

"Joe, should we apply for a patent?"

"That's right, if you want to find a manufacturer for customization, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement in advance."

This stent looks simple, the result of an afternoon by Zhou Qiao and the others. However, it integrates many advanced medical concepts. If it were another R&D team, it would not be possible for them to design it as perfectly as they did after half a year.

Because this requires very superb medical skills and clinical experience as a basis.

"Okay, let me figure it out. Murphy, can you produce an electronic version of the drawings?" Zhou Qiao said.

Murphy snapped his fingers: "No problem."

She can do 3D modeling in her head, and she can also use some modeling software. Combined with the 3D modeling in her head, she can express what is in her mind very well on the computer.

Because software is just a tool and it is not difficult to learn it.However, knowing how to design and whether the design is good or not is the most important thing.On the contrary, drawing skills are on the sidelines.

Soon, Murphy got to work and finished it perfectly in less than two hours.

Zhou Qiao called the person in charge of Joya Biomedical Company in San Francisco.This kind of large company has branches in many big cities in North America, and its main function is marketing and sales.

Not only in North America, but now branches have been set up in South America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and other regions, and the business is snowballing, getting bigger and bigger.

Because that kind of medicine has so many uses.The application marketing department has developed many application scenarios. They not only sell medicines, but also sell various advanced and high-end solutions.

Simply selling physical products is not making money. Only by being refined and segmented, and providing customers with specific and detailed solutions while selling medicines, can we truly develop the market.These solutions are all chargeable and are a "super gift package" that organically links services and products.

San Francisco is Zhou Qiao's "home base" and it is an international metropolis, so it is natural to set up a location.

The person in charge, Jess Sheppard, received a call from Zhou Qiao and learned about the demand. Although this was not his business, he still said he was happy to help and would get it done as quickly as possible.

After all, Zhou Qiao is the company's major shareholder, and the other big boss, Luo Ya, is in a relationship with Zhou Qiao. I heard that they are now preparing for pregnancy.

Luo Ya's preparation for pregnancy could not be hidden at all, and Luo Ya did not want to hide it, so this kind of "gossip" from the big boss was like a spring breeze blowing across the earth and spread to all the companies under Luo Ya's ownership.

The person who "sowed the seeds" was Zhou Qiao, and everyone naturally knew it.That was witnessed by hundreds of Sequoia Hospital employees.Even the news that Zhou Qiao and Luo Ya had a fight in the luxury restaurant of the winery spread widely.

It is said that the sound of explosions in chemical plants at that time could not cover up the endless sound of spring at the peak of sowing.

Of course, everyone only dared to discuss it secretly in private, but they did not dare to discuss this in front of others, especially leaders at all levels.Isn't that seeking death?
Seeing Jess's enthusiasm, Zhou Qiao nodded with satisfaction, and then sent the finished drawing drawn by Murphy to the other party's mailbox.Of course, I also told the other party to keep it confidential and not to send the drawings of the bracket to the other party before signing an agreement.

This needs to be applied for a patent.The matter of patent application will also be left to Joya Biomedicine.

Jess is very excited. This can completely set up a subsidiary. If he can do things well and be appreciated by Boss Zhou, he might be able to join the senior management of the subsidiary company, maybe CEO?

Early the next morning, Jess sent rough quotations from several medical device companies, and listed the advantages and disadvantages of each company. He compared and scored them from various angles in a very detailed manner, allowing Zhou Qiao to make a decision. .

"What's your suggestion?" Zhou Qiao asked.

Jess said: "I suggest choosing Boston Medical Company. Their technology is far ahead, the quality is excellent, and the overall score is the highest. However, the price is also the most expensive."

"Can we negotiate the price?" Zhou Qiao asked.

"It's not easy to talk. I tried, but the other party declined." Jess said regretfully.

"Why is this company so familiar to me?" Zhou Qiao muttered and asked, "Jace, do you know the background of this company?"

"Ah? I didn't pay attention to this. After all, I have never been involved in medical equipment before." Jess said very ashamed.

"Hurry up and check." Zhou Qiao said.He always felt that he had heard it somewhere, but for a while, he couldn't remember it.

Jess' work efficiency was quite good. He quickly called and said very excitedly: "Boss, I asked you carefully. Speaking of which, this company should have some connection with you."

"Oh? What do you say?" Zhou Qiao asked.Jess said: "The big boss behind this company is Academician Domitri. Isn't that your teacher?"

"Oh, that's it." Zhou Qiao suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard Lizzie Meyer talk about it before when he was in Boston.But I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

"Then I'll ask. We may have long-term cooperation in the future." Zhou Qiao said and hung up the phone.

He was thinking that if Mr. Domitri had a strong medical device company under his name, then Joya Biomedical Group would not need to set up a special production department. At most, it would establish a subsidiary company specifically responsible for trade.

As for production, it is left to the medical device company owned by Mr. Domitri.

We can talk about business.What's more, there is still this relationship.

Of course, in the future, there will not only be this stent product, but also many other medical device products.

Through this experience, Zhou Qiao seems to have found a new profit point, which is to design novel and practical medical device products.They are front-line users, and they all have superb medical skills and profound medical theoretical knowledge, so they can fully develop their potential.

Murphy is also good at drawing, and he doesn't need to rely on others.

So, Zhou Qiao immediately made a call to Academician Domitri. Firstly, he wanted to catch up with the past and enhance his relationship. Secondly, he wanted to trouble him about this matter.

After hearing this, Academician Domitri laughed and scolded: "You still need to trouble me with such a trivial matter? Just tell me your name."

Zhou Qiao was stunned: "My name is so easy to use?"

"I'll give you a contact information. You can just contact the other person directly."

Academician Domitri sent it, and Zhou Qiao called him doubtfully.

He said: "I am Zhou Qiao from Iris Clinic in San Francisco..."

Before he explained his purpose, the other party immediately shouted in surprise: "I know, I know, you are the most friendly student of the big boss, right? Is there anything I can do for you? Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. , I’m Amuro Friedrich, CEO of Boston Medical Corporation.”

Zhou Qiao: "...Hello Amuro, nice to meet you."

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Academician Domitri really treated me well.Have you mentioned yourself to your subordinates?Have you confessed it more than once?
Zhou Qiao explained the needs again.

After listening, the other party was very apologetic and said with a smile: "I'm not very clear about this. But don't worry, Dr. Zhou, I will go find out the situation later. I will take care of this matter and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." reply."

Zhou Qiao nodded and hung up the phone.The contact person given by Mr. Domitri is too high-level.CEO of Boston Medical Company, for a small business like customizing a stent, it is quite normal for the other party not to know about it.

Of course, because of Academician Domitri's relationship, it is not just about customizing a bracket, but also involves future OEM production, which needs to be discussed in detail.

Then, half an hour later, the other party called and said that this was indeed the case and that the bracket had been explained and provided free of charge as a sample.Then asked about future cooperation.

Zhou Qiao thought about it for a while and then said: "Qiaoya Biomedical Group will send a special team to take charge of this matter. I will ask them to contact you then."

"Okay, okay, if possible, we very much welcome the team of Qiaoya Biotech to come for an on-site inspection." In fact, Boston Medical Company does not lack this business, but Naihe is a student of the big boss, an employee of Academician Domitri, especially Those senior executives who are close to the boss know deeply what Academician Domitri is thinking.

Zhou Qiao, Murphy, and Stephanie are very likely to be the successors in the future.The other two are girls, and Zhou Qiao is a man. Zhou Qiao is expected to have the most shares in the future.

In fact, 20 years ago, there was a prominent figure in the Academician Domitri Foundation, and at that time it was widely rumored that he would be the successor.Unfortunately, that person suddenly disappeared and never appeared again.

Zhou Qiao had a conversation with Luo Ya and discussed the matter. Luo Ya asked Zhou Qiao for his opinion.Zhou Qiao asked, "What's Jace's ability like?"

"She should be able to do the job." Luo Ya smiled.

"Then let him take the lead." Zhou Qiao said.

"Okay, Boss Zhou, you decide." Luo Ya suddenly hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong, baby?" Zhou Qiao's heart skipped a beat. Luo Ya had always been straightforward and seemed to have never stopped talking.Did something happen?
Luo Ya said: "There is good news. Guess what it is?"

"Uh... I can't guess." Zhou Qiao thought for a while, then an idea came to his mind and said, "Could it be that she is pregnant with twins?"

"No, you guess again?"

"Triples?" Zhou Qiao had a bold idea.

"Be bolder!" Loya encouraged.

"It can't be quintuplets or sextuplets, right? How big is your belly? Oh my God!"

"Go away! It's quadruplets! Qiao, you are so awesome, you got quadruplets right away." Luo Ya couldn't help laughing and said, "The results just came out, and I was about to call you. Then you called me, do you think it was a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence!" Zhou Qiao was a little excited and trembled slightly, "Baby, our four little darlings...are they boys or girls?"

This is so exciting. Who would have thought that they were quadruplets? !
Generally speaking, at about six weeks of pregnancy, you can do a color ultrasound to confirm whether you have twins. At seven weeks of pregnancy, you can do a blood test to detect whether there is Y-DNA in the mother's body to determine the gender of the baby. Now is almost the time.

Of course, this is not allowed in China, but Luoya’s own hospital can test however they want.

Luo Ya whispered: "Boys, all four are boys. The doctor said the probability of identical quadruplets is high."

Because if they are fraternal, they will ovulate four at one time, which is usually not that large. Moreover, fraternal twins usually have a boy and a girl, four of the same sex, so the probability is relatively small.

"It's really great. I never thought that I would have four sons soon! Well, we didn't think of names last time. Let's put it all together and try to give them four domineering names."

Luo Ya shook her head and said, "Just a common name."

Zhou Qiao thought the same thing. The more common the name, the better. Although these four little things were born with silver spoons in their mouths, a common name would be fine. According to the Chinese, a common name is easy to support and will not rob the body. luck.

"You know, Joe, when the doctor told me that, I couldn't believe it. Joe, you're amazing!"

Zhou Qiao said humbly: "You are amazing. The birth of multiple twins actually depends entirely on your mother."

"Haha, if you don't have so much genetic material, I can't do anything." The two complimented each other.The joy was beyond words.

At that time, what the two "giants" Zhou Qiao and Luo Ya didn't know was that there were four top "innate spiritual seeds" entering the finals.

For the short life span of a "tadpole", combining with an egg and becoming a human is equivalent to immortality.

For the "innate spiritual species" or other microorganisms in the human body, several "epochs" have passed, and perhaps humans have only lived a month or two, or even a day or two.

Some scientists have proposed that the universe is a huge organism, and the planet is the numerous cells in this organism.

Because research shows that the "appearance" of the universe is actually very similar to the neurons of the human brain, and will continue to evolve.

If the universe is really a huge life form, then we humans are equivalent to living in the body of a huge creature.The universe is expanding because it is growing.

The earth, because of human beings, is being destroyed everywhere, which is equivalent to a "cancer cell".

When humans fly out of the solar system, or even out of the Milky Way, cancer cells will spread, and then the universe, this huge life form, may not be around for long.

Of course, for such a huge living body, even if the "cancer cells" spread, it can only live for "a few more months", but for short-lived humans, this time may be "hundreds of millions of years" or even "billions of years". Year".

……

Knowing that he was about to have quadruplets, Zhou Qiao was extremely excited. However, when he thought about it carefully, he was shocked to find that there was no one to share it with.

Tell Elena, Ava, Murphy, Stephanie and the others?Isn’t that asking for trouble?Are people willing to hear this?Maybe I won’t let you touch it after hearing this!
Tell your parents?Let me go, this marriage has not yet been completed. With the traditional temperament of my parents, how could I hear such news?I don’t know how to speak, either?

Think about it, let's wait until the time is right.

This is a matter between myself and Luo Ya, as long as the two of us are happy!

Jess called and shouted with great excitement: "Boss, you are so awesome. I received news from Boston Medical Company. The boss of the other party personally called and said that since Dr. Zhou asked for it, then this stent is Provided for free. Haha, it’s great, boss, you are great! So outstanding!”

Originally, Jess only expected Zhou Qiao to use his relationship with Academician Domitri and his students to get a discount. Who would have expected that they would provide it for free.

This was beyond his expectation.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected was yet to come. Zhou Qiao said slowly, "Jace, I think you are quite diligent in your work. What do you think? Do you want to be the boss of a subsidiary company?"

"What?" Jess immediately jumped up with excitement. Not far away, his colleagues cast surprised looks.

However, Jace ignored it at all and rubbed his face fiercely, fearing that he would think too much and mishear. He took a deep breath and gave himself three seconds to calm down.

Then, he asked Zhou Qiao solemnly: "Boss, are you serious? You're not joking with me, are you?"

Zhou Qiao smiled and said: "Of course not. Your ability and attitude are not bad. This bracket needs to be patented. You can set up a sales company and be responsible for sales and looking for OEMs in the future. As for the OEM factory, I have already I have made an agreement with the boss of Boston Medical to let them help with production in the future. Boston Medical is a very strong company, and the quality should be guaranteed."

"Yeah, I know this. This company is one of the top five companies in the industry!" Jess said with admiration and excitement.

"Do you have the confidence to do this well? I strongly recommend you in front of Luo Ya." Zhou Qiao said with a smile.

Jess immediately patted his chest and said: "Boss, of course I have it. From now on, you will be my most respected boss. I will become the most powerful and obedient tool under your hands. You can let me do anything you want." .”

Zhou Qiao couldn't help but feel nauseous. The foreigner's flattery and show of loyalty really gave people goosebumps.However, everyone likes obedient and capable subordinates.

No one will like the kind of idiot who tries to argue with the leader.
