"Quan Zi, why do you have time to return to Shashi? Have you stabilized in the magic city?" Zhou Cheng asked Zhang Zhengquan when he got off the plane and rushed to the hospital.
However, at this moment, Zhang Zhengquan was sitting in the driver's seat, and Zhou Cheng was sitting in the passenger seat...
"No, I have to come with you, the God of Wealth, to accompany you."
"Oh, by the way, have you read the information I sent you before? That's why I'm here."
Zhou Cheng nodded: "Of course I have seen it. You are doing well now. Are you being noticed by the higher authorities?"
What Zhang Zhengquan sent to Zhou Cheng was a report on the market and share of medical devices and medical drugs in China.
That's probably the content.
China's medical device and pharmaceutical market is a very huge market. With the aging of the population and continued concern about health, market demand continues to grow.
At present, China's medical device and drug market is mainly monopolized by large domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies and medical device companies, including domestic companies such as Fosun Pharma, Hengrui Medicine, Mindray, and Zhongzheng Group Medical, as well as foreign companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Bayer.
, Novartis, Pfizer and other companies.
In addition, according to this report, there are still some small pharmaceutical companies and medical device companies in China's medical device and drug market. Their positions in the market are relatively weak, but through their own innovation capabilities and flexibility, they have established a strong presence in the market.
It has gained good market share in some market segments.
However, in the field of relatively high-end equipment and pharmaceuticals, domestic companies occupy too little share.
"Hey, I'm just making a living. What I want to talk to you about is the problem in this report. I feel that a lot of our country's money has been unjustly earned by others."
"Although, judging from the overall data, due to the protection of the state, the share of domestic pharmaceutical companies in China's pharmaceutical market has reached about 70%, of which the pharmaceutical market share is even higher, reaching more than 80%."
"And in the medical device market, the market share of domestic enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises is relatively balanced, with the share of domestic enterprises being about 50%."
"But you have to know that these are basic medicines. To a certain extent, they are shoddy and insignificant substitutes. What is truly competitive are high-end equipment, high-end equipment, and high-end drugs."
Zhang Zhengquan seems to be very sensitive to money, so he remembers data deeply.
"Medical insurance expenditure: According to data released by the National Medical Insurance Administration, the total expenditure budget of China's national medical insurance fund last year was 2.2 trillion yuan."
"This is a trillion, brother!"
"Among them, according to data released by the China Medical Device Association, the size of China's medical device market is approximately 798.8 billion yuan, and the sales volume of imported medical devices is 249.2 billion yuan, accounting for 31%."
"The market size of Western medicine is 981.6 billion yuan, and the market size of traditional Chinese medicine is 1,006.5 billion yuan."
"You think it's cool or not..."
"Ah?" Zhou Cheng was stunned when he heard this.
"Chinese medicine costs more than Western medicine? Is this impossible?"
Zhang Zhengquan rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Impossible? Can objective data deceive you?"
"The water is deep in here!"
"There are many people who are trying to make money in the name of patriotism and tradition. There is no chaos here!" Zhang Zhengquan's expression was exaggerated and serious.
"Of course, we don't care about this for now, we just take care of ourselves."
"According to data, in the current domestic high-end pharmaceutical market, the market shares of domestic companies and foreign companies are roughly equal. Among them, the share of local pharmaceutical companies in the high-end chemical drug market is slightly higher than that of imported drugs, while in the high-end biological products market,
Imported drugs occupy a larger market share."
"So, this is definitely what we have to strive for. It would be a bit embarrassing for our company to compete with other local companies for basic drugs."
"We want high-end. For example, I will arrange some top-quality peripherals for you tonight."
"Tsk, tsk." Zhang Zhengquan smiled and winked at Zhou Cheng.
"Fuck you, please say something more serious!" Zhou Cheng rolled his eyes at Zhang Zhengquan.
"Well, I don't dare to get involved in chemotherapy drugs for tumors now. This market is relatively high-end, but as for medical devices, excluding minimally invasive fracture devices, there are still some commonly used ones. The market share of this market is 2019.
The average amount is probably more than 20 billion."
"To be specific, according to the "In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Analysis Report on China's Orthopedic Medical Device Industry" released this year, the total size of the orthopedic medical device market is approximately 24 billion yuan!"
"Among them, domestic companies occupy about 60% of the market share, and foreign companies occupy about 40% of the market share. However, in terms of high-end products, foreign companies still occupy a relatively advantageous position."
"The artificial joint market is a major component of China's orthopedic medical device market. Domestic companies are mainly concentrated in the low-end market, while the high-end market is still monopolized by foreign companies..."
"This is the data after the intervention of our company's minimally invasive fracture device. If not included, the ratio is 50-50 at home and abroad. It is just that we are not high-end enough. I want to make preliminary preparations in this aspect."
"Don't worry about this!"
"Are you planning to study diabetic foot now? I happened to have done some research on this aspect. The products currently launched in China include special testing equipment for diabetic foot, foot ulcer treatment equipment, pressure distribution measurement system, etc."
"Abroad, some multinational medical device companies provide products including diabetic foot protective pads, foot ulcer dressings, diabetic foot special shoes, etc."
"Did you notice that all we can provide is equipment and instruments, not any external materials?"
"Brother Zhou Cheng, do you have any ideas in this area? If we want to do it, we can do it more high-end. I told the people in the company that even if I invest one billion, I will only get back 111 billion in the end. I will do it
Already."
"But in fact, the total share of this market is not that large, so let's start small. The main reason is that the current medical market share is too fixed, and we dare not easily get involved in unfamiliar fields for fear of losing our crotch." Zhang Zhengquan
A little depressed.
Zhou Chengze said: "That means that the projects you invested in before are now on hold?"
"Absolutely. The treatment effects are similar. Every doctor has his own medication habits, so it's difficult to get involved. But fortunately, there are many causes of diabetic foot disease, and there are not many mature diagnosis and treatment centers. This is a relatively large market gap.
.”
"If there are enough patients to take care of it, I won't care about the price but the sales volume, and I will eat a lot of them."
"Last year's profit was mainly from minimally invasive fracture equipment. In other areas, I'm really going to lose money. It's better to follow you, the God of Wealth, to make a living."
"Now in most prefecture-level hospitals in our country, minimally invasive fracture devices occupy the top share, but last year, Pfizer Group and Johnson & Johnson also released imitations. Because they have a market base, I only grabbed a quarter.
Once it arrives.”
"Then you're not satisfied?" Zhou Cheng smiled.
"At least you lowered the price?"
"But I didn't make any money."
"Let me tell you, Brother Zhou Cheng, the goal I set for myself is to take one thousandth of the profit as salary. Now I can barely earn around 100,000 per month. That is the level of Yang Yifeng."
"It's not as good as interest." Zhang Zhengquan didn't speak human words.
The return on investment is a bit lower than he feels.
Of course, if you pay yourself a salary at Zhang Zhengquan's rate, it would be better if he didn't bother, but looking at Zhang Zhengquan's cheerfulness, he must be enjoying it.
It’s just that business is not easy to do, and Zhang Zhengquan’s opponents are still so many multinational companies.
Zhou Cheng then asked: "So now the market has been liberalized again? Can those large companies come in again?"
"That's natural. It's just that the price is still much lower than before. However, those foreign companies control the market and are dealing with more serious diseases. Once they really fall off the original track."
"The harm still outweighs the benefit, so the sinking of medical technology is a long-term solution and will not be directly effective in the short term."
"It can be clearly seen now that the proportion of drugs and devices is much smaller than before, so the market share has also shrunk slightly!" Zhang Zhengquan said calmly.
Although these operations ruined part of his job, at least he still made money, and it was fine if he didn't lose money and make a fuss.
Zhang Zhengquan really can't take care of the affairs of one person and one family. But judging from the current situation, if all diseases are covered by medical insurance, it will be difficult to maintain it.
Zhou Cheng actually feels that it is only a matter of time before the market is liberalized. Medical technology is sinking and technological treatment methods are only temporary measures and cannot be solved once and for all.
Some diseases can be treated solely with technology, but some require appropriate pharmaceutical assistance.
Unless China learns from the Asan countries and completely eliminates drug patents, then the dividends will no longer be available to the world. In other words, if your country does not engage in development, it will just imitate and lose corresponding credibility.
In related industries, it is naturally impossible for you to gain international recognition.
In a country that does not even recognize patent rights, it is absolutely impossible for others to recognize you. If you want to develop related industries in your country, you are just trying to make a fool of yourself. Others will definitely not take your patents seriously.
This is equivalent to locking yourself away.
And in today's fierce environment, such extreme measures will definitely hurt both sides.
Because you can imitate what you can imitate, but what you can’t imitate, if you want to create, you have to cross many levels!
“Where are we going to eat later?”
"I happen to be free today, so I'd like to introduce you to a friend, the young man named Fang Yun." Zhou Cheng changed the subject.
"It's up to you, anywhere. I'm not picky about what I eat."
"Didn't this guy go to Kyoto? Why did he come to Shashi? Did you pry him here?" Zhang Zhengquan asked.
"No, he came here on his own. Why would I offend someone if I just pick him up?"
"Maybe it has something to do with his teacher. As you know, his teacher is a doctor from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Kyoto University. He is currently working in Jishuitan. I don't know why he is not staying in the hospital, and I am too lazy to ask."
"Oh, has the laboratory building here been built? I'm going to conduct experiments there." Zhou Cheng asked.
Since diabetic foot is to be treated as a subject, it is necessary to have a formal experimental base, and then make better products one by one, publish the mechanism of action to the public, and then seize the so-called market.
It's the normal way.
"It's almost over. The decoration is coming to an end. It's all good materials. I told Party B that if anything is not up to standard, I'll have to pay the balance. As you know, I have a lot of balance and they don't dare to deal with it."
"Oh, by the way, Brother Zhou Cheng, you asked me before about building a more suitable learning and communication platform, and I am slowly exploring it."
"But you really have to use the nature of the game to develop this app. Doctors nowadays don't dare to play these games. If patients find out, that's not GG?" Zhang Zhengquan stopped and started waiting for the traffic light.
"I think it's okay, mainly because it can be used for leisure. Doctors' study time is relatively fragmented, and there is too little that can be learned through traditional fragmented reading."
"The reason why this app has a hierarchy is that it is interesting, rigorous and objective."
"This is also a small goal of mine in the early stage."
"Oh, by the way, when the time comes, you can charge a little less for membership registration. As you know, students basically don't have much money. But for those who are working, you can charge ten times more or something." Zhou Cheng was a little confused.
This is a humane suggestion.
"Then you definitely can't lose money. You have to make some money. You charge for knowledge."
"Oh, by the way, Yang Yifeng also asked me to take away the underlying logic of your app and write it as an upgrade material for a novel."
"Should we ask him for a writing fee?" Zhang Zhengquan laughed mischievously.
Zhou Cheng scolded: "Come on, Yang Yifeng told me about this. Novels are actually a form of communication. He also wanted to use an easy-to-understand method to let others understand this hierarchical system."
"It's also an attempt!" Zhou Cheng took a deep breath.
After more than a year of simulation, Zhou Cheng finally clearly classified the levels of doctors, medical skills, and medical knowledge reserves, and established a rough dividing line.
Then, Zhou Cheng also divided some existing diseases into corresponding levels, which are mainly similar to monster hunting and upgrading. It mainly depends on the level of knowledge and skill reserves of the players who play the game.
Then in the process of fighting monsters, he slowly activates it, and also refines what the next level of each skill is, whether he can figure it out himself, and then what the final overall level and level will be.
Go fight monsters and have a look. This can intuitively digitize a person's level...
This definitely still has some flaws, but in the simulation world, its direction is very impressive.
And if this is successful, it will be a particularly good resource that can improve the overall medical level of China, benefit the country and the people, and be enough to leave a name in history.
This is the great significance of teaching!
Of course, it may also hurt some people, and there are both pros and cons...
