Xindice, a manufacturer of AO internal fixation devices, was acquired by Johnson & Johnson.
Johnson & Johnson then integrated the acquired Depuy, greatly increasing its strength and becoming the world's largest player in the field of orthopedic devices, closely followed by Zimmer Biomet.
Zimmer Biomet was originally two companies, but after the merger, it became the second largest orthopedic device company in the world.
At this time, Syndis was in a scientific research institute in Switzerland, and a regular meeting was being held.
The Chinese branch of Johnson & Johnson submitted a document to the U.S. headquarters, which referred it to the Swiss Research Institute.
Among several scientific research institutes in the world, the Swiss one has the strongest technical strength.
The spinal external fixator mentioned in this document originates from the external fixator of orthopedic trauma. Xindice's strongest field is orthopedic trauma equipment, so it is naturally most appropriate to leave it to them for evaluation.
The headquarters hopes that they will evaluate the technology recorded in this document and see whether it has the value of investment cooperation.
"This set of equipment has not even been tested on animals at present, and there is no preliminary data. So we need to invest huge sums of money to cooperate? The proposer is simply crazy and is wasting our time."
Chandler, chief engineer of Sindis Swiss Research Institute, types out a thick piece of information.
"Who else is currently interested in participating?" Chandler asked.
"Besides us, there is also a very small Chinese company, I don't remember the name." The secretary replied.
"The CEO of the Chinese branch privately decided to cooperate with this Dr. Yang, which went against 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 from the China Scientific Research Institute agreed, and the rest were opposed.
." The secretary added.
"Are we reduced to a situation where we are competing for projects with an unknown small company?" Chandler was still angry.
"I have studied this information. It looks very beautiful, but many key things are not in line with biological and physical principles at all. There are not even animal experiments. It is just something on paper." Another engineer was also rude.
"Vote, they are waiting for our conclusion."
"We are all engineers, and have been focusing on orthopedic trauma devices for decades. We have never seen such humorous technical information, and there is no animal experiment. It is so clear and logical that it just makes sense."
"Do you have any comments? If not, we will move to the next step, voting. The gentlemen at the US headquarters are waiting for our report so that we can send the Chinese CEO away." Chandler knocked on the conference table.
A young bald engineer waited for everyone to stop the discussion and spoke slowly: "I don't agree with everyone's opinions. This information is disguised. I tell you rudely that no one here can
Writing such technical information allows you to see the outline of the technology and even see some details, but you cannot use it for production. All key technologies have been disguised. This is an extremely sophisticated technical information.
Disguise 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 the technology. If you want to copy, you must break through the many disguises and continue trial and error. If you are lucky, wait until the truth comes out.
In a few years, a new generation of technology will be available."
"Look, if I hadn't guessed, these one hundred and twenty drawings will soon appear on the patent protection document. The real drawings are some combination of these one hundred and twenty drawings. Think about it,
This is such a huge amount of information. It cleverly protects intellectual property rights, but it dismantles the technology, disrupts and reorganizes it, making it impossible for you to copy."
"If I say something rude, this young doctor's ability to design equipment exceeds that of all of us here, and his ability to realize technology is amazing."
The bald engineer's tone was lazy and a little arrogant.
"Siro, what is technical implementation capability?" someone asked.
"Ordinary people have to go through simulation experiments, animal experiments, and human experiments to design a product, improve it based on experimental data, and repeat it many times before it can mature. This set of products gives me the impression that it is mature as soon as it appears, or the designer has mastered computer simulation.
Experimental technology, or his amazing ability to bridge the theory and practice of technology, he can directly see the future evolution of technology, problems in the evolution process, and then directly solve the problems at the theoretical level." Faced with everyone's doubts, Bald Ciro couldn't help but
Don't be in a hurry.
"Are you serious talking to everyone?" Chandler has always disliked this guy, and after a short time here, he pretended to know everything.
"I am serious, very serious. My opinion is to take over the trial production business of this set of equipment and obtain priority and exclusive patent authorization. In the future, we can dominate spine surgery for at least twenty years. You see, the Chinese branch
The opinions of this young engineer are clearly written. His vision is better than most of us. I suggest that this Chinese engineer be transferred to the Swiss R&D headquarters, or that he be immediately promoted to the chief engineer of the China Research Institute."<
/p>
Silla shrugged: "I've finished my opinions, please do as you please."
"Your tone sounds like a chief engineer, but it's a pity that you're not?" the secretary laughed.
"That's right, I'm not. Therefore, we will soon fall behind our peers. The good news is that Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, Medtronic, Smith & Nephew, and even Medtronic have not made any move. I can only say that they are a bunch of idiots.
"Silla didn't mind the secretary's ridicule.
"Please pay attention to your words and deeds and maintain basic courtesy." Chandler knocked on the table.
"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is! This small Chinese company is called Ruixing. Remember its name. It will be your biggest enemy in the future." Siro warned in a tone.
"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 misappropriates our patents. As long as we are willing, we can make it never stand up again." The secretary looked happy and provided Siro with the latest information.
.
"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is! I reiterate this, I suggest you read this book, I read it three times, it was written by a Chinese, "The Three-Body Problem", you know what the dimensionality reduction attack is
Do you mean? In the near future, you will understand, oh, not understand, but experience." Silla took out a book.
This guy read novels in a meeting, and Chandler became even more angry.
"Panic maker, if I can, I hope to ban you from speaking, but I don't have the power. Your words will be recorded. You have one vote to oppose, but it can't change anything. We will not invest such a large amount of money in an inexplicable situation."
Technically, external fixators are used to treat scoliosis, do you know how difficult it is to implement?" Chandler remained graceful.
"I know, just because we can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it. That's your fixed mindset!" Silla said and started reading.
"This is a trap. They want to use this cooperation to obtain our key technologies and processes. We cannot fall into the trap of the Chinese."
"The project we currently need to invest in and cooperate with should be the project of Dr. Mitsui Sukesuke of the University of Tokyo Hospital in Japan."
"Looking at this thing gives me a headache. To be honest, I abstained because I didn't understand it."
"Okay, everyone votes!"
"One vote is in favor, one abstains, and the rest are against. If you have no objections, please check the record of your speech and sign it. The minutes of the meeting will be attached to the report. Our conclusions will be reported to the U.S. headquarters and become the basis for the headquarters' decision-making.
."
Mr. Chandler ended the meeting without forgetting to glare hard at Silla who was reading quietly.

Huang Jiacai bought a plane ticket to Chengdu, Sichuan, then rented a car and rushed to Gan Fengyi's hometown. Somehow, except for his sister, he had never worried about someone like this.
Something must have happened to Gan Fengyi. This strong woman shed tears on the spot in her office. It was not a trivial matter. What on earth happened? She would not answer calls or send messages.
Huang Jiacai, who has always been rational and calm, felt that it was very rash 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 was controlling Huang Jiacai's brain.
We rented a car from Chengdu and came to Pujiang County, then went down to the township and went straight to Gan Fengyi’s hometown village.
This is a small village. Huang Jiacai did not dare to stop for a moment based on the address he found. He urged the driver to hurry up. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, there happened to be a family. A woman in her fifties was washing vegetables at the door.
Huang Jiacai asked the driver to stop the car, claiming to be Gan Fengyi's colleague, and came forward to inquire. The old woman was very wary, but as soon as she inquired about Gan Fengyi, she immediately smiled, invited Huang Jiacai to sit in the house, and brought Huang Jiacai tea to drink.
The woman obviously respected Gan Fengyi's family very much. When she heard that Gan Fengyi was looking for her, she was enthusiastic and polite: "Are you a colleague of Xiaofeng, the Gan family's daughter?"
"Well, we are colleagues. I was passing through Chengdu on a business trip, and the company asked me to send her something. The phone couldn't be reached, so I sent it directly. Auntie, look, this is my ID card." Huang Jiacai was afraid that others would misunderstand. p>
The woman glanced at it but didn't take a closer look: "You look so polite and talented, and you don't look like a liar. Hey, Aunt Gan was sick and hospitalized a few days ago. I heard it was very serious. She is staying in the county hospital. Xiao
Feng heard the news and rushed back. She is so filial and such a good girl."
"Look, have you seen that school? It was built with money from Xiaofeng. Several college students in the village received money from Xiaofeng for their studies. Every year when she comes back, she comes to every household in the village to give gifts, and she also gives red envelopes to the elderly. This
Children are kind-hearted and never forget their roots."
"This girl's father died early. There was a flood in the village more than 20 years ago. Her father was the village party secretary. He was washed away by the water while trying to save people. Alas, most of the people in this village were saved by Secretary Gan. He was exhausted.
, had no strength, and was washed away by the water. The two siblings were brought up by Aunt Gan. 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 Mr. Gan to see Aunt Gan. I just haven't been able to contact Mr. Gan and I'm worried." Huang Jiacai followed the words.
"Oh, just in time, you come with me, I'm preparing to clean up the house and go to the county to take care of Aunt Gan."
The woman was busy on the phone, trying to order a car.
"Auntie, please don't call a car. I'll rent a car. Let's go together?"
"Okay, wait for me, I'll pack my things."
Upon hearing this, Huang Jiacai was inexplicably worried. Sure enough, something happened to this woman.
