Chapter 362 Portable Monitor Hospital Tests the Waters

The upheaval in the intraocular lens industry also reached Wei Kang's ears, but he didn't care.

In his view, it is only natural that technology falls behind and is eliminated by new technologies.

The continuous advancement of human science and technology will always step on the bones of countless eliminated. This is the metabolism of technology itself and the general trend of social development.

Besides, although he affected some domestic low-end manufacturers, he also grabbed all the foreign mid-to-high-end markets.

Since low-end manufacturers have no way to achieve self-breakthrough, become bigger and stronger, and turn over high-end.

Then he doesn't mind those who are able to work harder, and extend his hand to help. Anyway, the meat is rotten in his own pot, and the money is earned by Huaxia Enterprises, so it is not a loss anyway.

Then came another piece of good news.

Early in the morning, Lu Tingfeng came to report with a freshly released medical version of the portable monitor.

Since the portable monitor appeared in the live broadcast of the space station and was a great success, he led the team to step up the production of the medical version.

Now, finally there is a finished product that has been tested, and I hurried to tell the boss the good news.

The aerospace version is made into a smart watch. Although the internal functions are not as fancy as Juwei's smart watch, it has basic functions and has been improved to make it more suitable for astronauts' usage habits.

The medical version is also made into a watch, which is very convenient to wear on the hand, but the dial is two times larger, and the materials are not so high-end.

After all, the environment inside the space station is complex, requiring the use of high-end materials such as high and low temperature resistance, anti-electromagnetic interference, etc., and the civilian version does not need it, as long as it is strong and durable.

As for the functions inside, it is more inclined to the health management of patients.

In short, the medical version looks a bit bulkier, not as small and exquisite as a smart watch, but the display can display more information, and it is more in line with doctors' usage habits.

At the same time, the operation is very simple, even uneducated patients can get started quickly, and the material has also become plastic, which is easy to clean and not easy to break.

In fact, there are portable monitors in the hospital, but the technological content is not so high, and it is impossible to monitor so many physiological parameters in such a small size.

Generally speaking, this kind of product is carried in the pocket and used for long-term monitoring of ECG.

Now, with portable monitors that have more functions and are more convenient to use, it is estimated that hospitals will be more willing to use them.

Especially in the emergency department, I will definitely like it, because I can follow the patient, and the surgeon will also love it, because there is no need to change the monitor after the operation, just take it directly to the ward.

There are also three interfaces on the monitor, which can be charged or connected with matching accessories, so as to expand new monitoring functions or provide more accurate body parameters, such as blood pressure cuffs, ECG lead wires and the like.

The built-in GPS can locate the patient's location in real time, and at the same time, a location range can be set. If it exceeds the range or encounters a dangerous situation, it can alarm the hospital and the predetermined contact person, and provide location information.

It also has a WIFI module, which can regularly send all body parameters to the client of the hospital for doctors to check. If there is a sudden change in parameters, it will also alarm and remind.

All these information can be viewed on the monitor, or put on a large display screen, which is convenient for doctors to view the above parameters.

The patient can also check his basic information and physical data on it by clicking it. If the patient takes it off, he can also call the police.

In this way, the patient is no longer afraid of unplugging the ECG monitor privately and leaving the hospital's monitoring, which will cause the disease to get out of control.

It can be said that this product will redefine the existence of monitors.

Weikang has no doubt that this will be a hit product.

After carefully checking the samples, he felt quite satisfied, and every aspect perfectly reached the vision in his mind.

After Lu Tingfeng reported, seeing the smile on the boss's face, he felt relieved, so he asked.

"Mr. Wei, the product is ready, how to set the price next?"

He handles the materials from the beginning to the end of this product, and the cost is very clear, one set will not exceed 500 yuan, and it will only be lower after mass production.

For such a product with powerful functions, it is not a big deal to sell for 20,000 yuan. If calculated according to the price of the most common monitor on the market, it will cost at least 70,000 to 8,000 yuan.

In this way, it is nearly 20 times the profit, which is simply a huge profit.

However, the medical device industry itself is hugely profitable, because a lot of money is spent on intermediate marketing links. If the profit is too low, it is very unreasonable.

In his mind, as long as the price does not exceed 8,000 yuan, it is already a conscientious product.

Wei Kang pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, at this price, let's sell it for 2999. If you buy more, you can get a discount."

"What?" Lu Tingfeng felt that there was something wrong with his ears: "2999?"

"This price is outrageous, let alone imported monitors. Even Mindray's domestic monitors cost 6,000 yuan a set. The functions are not as strong as ours? Not to mention the portability."

"Although the cost of our hardware is not high, the technical value is very high. Isn't the research and development cost considered money?"

He crackled and said a lot, expressing fierce opposition.

However, Wei Kang said with a straight face: "This price is outrageous, it is already more expensive than a smart bracelet."

Lu Tingfeng couldn't bear it immediately, and complained bitterly: "Mr. Wei, won't your conscience ache with your pricing?"

"Even if your conscience doesn't hurt, I will! I really can't bear such a low price. I feel like my hard work has been sold cheaply."

"I am also an expert. I know the market price of monitors. Our products are so good and have such powerful functions. If we still sell them at such a low price, we will be struck by lightning."

"What?" Wei Kang looked at him in surprise, what's going on, shouldn't it be sold cheaper? How could it be so serious?

"Mr. Wei, you can't have money and not make money, right? Seeing the company earn so little and so much money slipping through my fingers, my heart hurts so much."

Lu Tingfeng persuaded with a painful face, a person in his forties is about to cry.

He originally thought that the boss would set the price very high, so that the profit would be high, but it would definitely affect the sales, and he would not be able to sell too much, but after learning that the price was so low, he began to be reluctant again.

"Mr. Wei, this price will cut off the survival of other manufacturers. We will become the target of public criticism, and the whole industry will be hostile to us. Let's set the price a little higher. The price of 6999 is quite good. For its function, The price/performance ratio is already very high, and I won’t steal other people’s jobs.”

Lu Tingfeng persuaded again, this boss is good at everything, but sometimes he is stupid and has a lot of money, and he plays tricks.

Wei Kang looked at him and smiled slightly: "Mr. Lu, do you think the price of medical equipment in our country is high?"

Lu Tingfeng said without hesitation: "Of course it is high. I have compared it. In fact, our medical device prices are higher than the global average. But this is mainly because of different national conditions, fast-growing markets, and high profit margins."

"The high profit margin is mainly because there are many intermediate links, and they are all public hospitals, which require various relationships, and the sales expenses in this area are very high."

"The profit margin is so high, it must be passed on to the price of the equipment. But there is no way. The whole industry is like this. Besides, the country is already improving, and various centralized procurement of medicines have brought down the price a lot. Due to the relatively large amount of medical equipment, it may take some time."

"But that's not the reason why you sell it so cheaply?"

Lu Tingfeng was complaining in his heart, the boss didn't seem to be easy to persuade, it was already an industry practice for medical equipment to have high profits.

But there is no way, who let the hospital's purchasing power be in the hands of the directors of each department.

A department director with real power is often followed by medical representatives of various pharmaceutical companies and equipment companies, serving 24 hours like a servant, helping to solve any difficulties anytime, anywhere.

It’s as small as paying for meals, as big as giving away a house and a car, just to sell more products.

Some of the legendary Shuaibi doctors can even order takeaways to get a full banquet, and hitchhike to a Rolls-Royce.

With such a comprehensive service, I am afraid that the doctor will be dissatisfied and affect the order.

But is it something he can handle?

The boss only cares about making money, the product is too cheap to sell, and the profit will definitely be greatly reduced, so the sales expenses will definitely be slashed, the relationship will not be maintained in the future, and the product cannot be sold, isn't it still a loss for the company?

Wei Kang chuckled and said, "There's so much water in it, it's like a water-soaked sponge. This heavy sponge has all the water in it, but patients and medical insurance have to pay for it."

"Then what do you think?" Lu Tingfeng asked suspiciously, a little confused.

Wei Kang said leisurely: "There is so much water, what will happen if you say I squeezed it out?"

"Huh? Are you going to squeeze out the water from the medical equipment?" Lu Tingfeng was stunned, as if frightened, he stepped back and leaned on the back of the chair.

He never expected that his boss's ambitions would be so big.

This is a big problem. The various relationships in the medical device industry are intricate, and every single event affects the whole body. Every manufacturer that can gain a foothold has worked hard for many years and has a strong network of relationships in the medical industry to survive.

If you really want to squeeze out the water, no, let alone squeeze it out, even if you squeeze out a little water, you will probably offend the public and be besieged by the crowd.

"That's right," Wei Kang said categorically, "Let the market return to rationality, the price is no longer so outrageous, and rely on quality and performance instead of various relationships, so as to reduce medical expenses and greatly reduce the burden on patients. You Say?"

Lu Tingfeng couldn't help laughing bitterly. Is this going to fight against the entire industry with one person?

You can earn money while lying down, why stand up?

However, if Weikang's concept can be realized, it can indeed squeeze out the price of medical equipment, lower the cost of hospitals, and reduce the medical burden of ordinary people.

It can even be said that the burden of medical insurance will be greatly reduced. From this aspect, the state should strongly support it.

After all, every time a patient sees a doctor, if they have medical insurance, those expensive examination fees are all free. The lower and lower, sooner or later you will be unable to make ends meet.

From this point of view, Mr. Wei's behavior is far-sighted and for the country and the people, which is worthy of great praise.

"Mr. Wei, since you have such ideals, I have nothing to say." Lu Tingfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and forced out a smile: "Fortunately, we only have one product now, the impact is not big, and the consequences are affordable. If you continue to develop and squeeze out the moisture of other equipment, it will be hard to say."

But Wei Kang didn't answer, staring at him with sharp eyes and said: "Why, are you afraid? Do you think it's pointless to do so?"

"This..." Lu Tingfeng choked up suddenly.

Are you scared? Of course I was scared, how many people's cheese has been touched?

If he is in a small company, and he hears what the boss says, he probably thinks that the boss is going to launch a low-price offensive to sacrifice sales to the sky, and he will definitely be scared and run away overnight.

But this is the Sanqing Group, this is Mr. Wei, the indomitable and omnipotent Wei University scientist who has developed a series of breakthrough drugs such as anti-cancer drugs and Alzheimer's drugs, and saved countless patients.

The pharmaceutical giants in Eagle Country and Europa, the Broad Institute, and other industry giants could not make him retreat, and he was even slapped in the face to kill him.

Such a hero, with such grand plans and great wishes, the people will support him, the hospital will support him, and the country will support him!

He is not a person, but represents 1.4 billion people.

Then he is still afraid of a ghost?

Since the righteousness lies with me, in the final analysis, this is just a commercial war in modern society, and he will not be hunted down, so what is there to be afraid of?

He has been in the industry for 20 years. He has seen too many black-box operations in this industry. Anyone with a conscience would hope that the price of medical equipment can be reduced so that every patient can afford medical expenses and restore their health.

Is it meaningless that such a thing that will benefit thousands of years and benefit for generations can really be done and will benefit trillions of people?

Thinking of this, Lu Tingfeng's blood boiled instantly.

"Mr. Wei, don't worry, since your ideal is so great, although I am small, I am willing to contribute to it. I will definitely sell Sanqing's equipment to every hospital in the country."

"Haha, your pattern is still not big enough, how can it be enough in China? You can also sell it abroad, but the price can be relaxed, at least multiply it by ten. After all, they are not short of money, and we can earn more dollars. Money benefits the people in the country.”

Wei Kang laughed loudly, his expression immediately became amiable.

It is enough to reduce the moisture in the country, and those people abroad should continue to enjoy high-priced medical care, after all, the national conditions are different.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Let's test the water in a domestic hospital first, talk to our clinical trial cooperative hospital, sponsor a batch of patients first, and when they taste the benefits, they will definitely be hooked. It’s a small thing, it’s not expensive, and the hospital will buy it directly if it’s easy to use, so it’s probably not even available through bidding.”

Lu Tingfeng also laughed loudly: "Okay, I'm ready, I'll do it right away."
