Chapter 213: I can't even sell one of the cherry blossoms!
Japan's robotics industry began to focus on research after World War II. When Western countries focused on computer research, Japan's robotics industry also gradually took off.
After so many years of research, many effective products have indeed emerged. This exhibition hall was the venue for the robot exhibition conference from the beginning.
At this time, Anda Muyang took the microphone and said to everyone: "Next, I hope I can take a few minutes of everyone's time to introduce one of our new friends!"
As soon as Anda Muyang finished speaking, the curtain fell, and an instrument as tall as a person appeared in front of everyone. It had four arms and stood there with its teeth and claws spread out, like a strange robot without legs, with an operable machine on its back.
computer……
The people around me are not just dolls who have never seen the world. Everyone knows that this is a surgical robot. They can analyze it by seeing the mechanical arm and the various probes and scalpels in its hands.
Surgical robots have developed rapidly in recent years, and have even gradually become a symbol of high-precision medical industries. Whoever can produce more accurate, practical and safe surgical robots will definitely bring countless honors.
.
Could it be that... Huitian Group has also started producing robots?
However, the highlight of this robot cannot be seen just by looking at its appearance. So, people stared at Anda Muyang with curiosity.
Pan Xiangnian lowered his head and whispered to Bai Ye next to him: "This is a surgical robot. Our hospital also has one in the Department of Surgery. You can see it when you go."
Bai Ye nodded. He didn't know much about surgical robots, but this thing has developed very rapidly in recent years and is becoming more and more popular.
Medical surgical robots are a cutting-edge academic direction in the field of advanced robotics, which have greatly promoted the development of minimally invasive and intelligent surgeries.
The most popular robots on the market now are Zeus and Da Vinci. These two robots were approved by the US FDA as early as 2000 and were allowed to be used in medical clinical applications.
In fact, we have been researching in China. In 2003, China was developing stereotaxic robots. Bai Ye saw the news two days ago and said that endoscope-assisted robots were also being researched.
However... the current functions of domestic robots are very limited, and the da Vinci surgical robot has been used in clinical practice for nearly two decades. The gap is huge.
Anda Muyang introduced: "Have you seen this big guy? His name is Sakura, and it is a set of surgical robots that specialize in treating diseases of the anorectal system."
"He has four robotic arms, which are composed of endoscopes, surgical scissors...miniature cameras, joysticks and other components."
"And its working principle is to perform surgical operations through wireless operation. As long as the doctor sits in front of the computer display screen, carefully observes the lesions in the patient's body through the display screen and endoscope, and then accurately removes the lesions with the scalpel in the operator's hand.
Or repair it.”
…………
"The main feature of Sakura is that it can basically handle more than 90% of current anorectal system surgeries,"
As soon as Anda Muyang finished speaking, the people around him started to get agitated. After all, surgical robots are currently mainly used for minimally invasive surgeries on the urinary system, such as prostatectomy. Even though they have developed very rapidly in recent years, they are also used in cardiac surgery, gynecology, and so on.
As well as minimally invasive surgeries such as pediatric surgery.
Moreover, those large groups and companies have also invested a lot of energy in the research and development of robots. However, most of them are in high-yield surgeries such as orthopedics and vascular surgery, and there are few studies on the use of such robots in anorectal surgery.
After all, the advantage of this kind of surgical robot is that it has high accuracy and can provide three-dimensional precision vision. The same high return requires high cost to maintain, and the cost of a robot is millions of dollars!
This is only the cost of robots. A large amount of research and development and maintenance require a large amount of money to maintain. However, the cost of general anorectal surgeries is relatively low, so those large companies are unwilling to invest in development.
But Huitian Group boldly tried it!
Anda Muyang saw everyone's expressions and nodded with satisfaction: "Moreover, our robot can be effective in treating hemorrhoids, perianal abscess, anal fistula, anal prolapse, rectal cancer... and other surgeries... Next everyone
You can watch this video!”
At this time, a huge projection appeared on the wall of the exhibition hall. It was a surgeon operating this surgery to perform a hemorrhoidectomy.
Bai Ye could clearly see that after a robotic arm of this robot penetrated deeply, it perfectly presented the scene inside the rectum. An endoscope could clearly see every detail, and every lesion in the rectal folds could be felt with a touch.
.
Moreover, the operation was even more agile and fast. Next to the endoscope, a small and exquisite scalpel appeared...
The final suture uses a stapler instead of traditional suturing, which is faster and easier.
An operation takes just three minutes!
That's right, a hemorrhoid surgery only takes three minutes. It doesn't need to be performed in the operating room at all, it can be done in the treatment room.
After finishing the operation, Anda Muyang said: "This kind of surgical robot can greatly reduce the operation time and increase work efficiency, and the most important thing is that we do not need the patient to stay in the hospital for a few days for hemorrhoids, only three or four days. Now people
The pace of work is fast, and it is difficult to find time to be delayed for ten and a half days because of a hemorrhoid..."
After more than half an hour of introduction, everyone finally couldn't help but asked the question they wanted to ask the most:
"How much does this robot cost?"
Anda Muyang smiled with satisfaction, this is the core selling point! He said with a smile: "Only 300,000 US dollars!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. The price of a Da Vinci robot imported into the country is almost 20 million yuan, and the annual construction cost is about 800 yuan.
As soon as the price was released, everyone was in an uproar. Is it so cheap?
Pan Xiangnian also widened his eyes and said to Bai Ye: "It's so cheap!"
Bai Ye was dumbfounded, is this still cheap?
Pan Xiangnian noticed Bai Ye's confusion: "Do you know how much it costs to operate the Da Vinci robot once?"
Bai Ye shook his head: "I don't know, is it expensive?"
Pan Xiangnian clicked his tongue and said: "The construction cost of Da Vinci is more than 20 million, and the annual maintenance fee is 89 million. Do you know where this money is spent?"
Li Muyang took over the conversation and shook his head: "It's been spent on updating the robotic arm. The robotic arm of the surgical robot needs to be replaced regularly. The robotic arm of the Da Vinci robot can only be used ten times, so it must be replaced, otherwise it will
Affecting the accuracy and dexterity of the operation, a robotic arm costs about 100,000 yuan, not including maintenance."
Pan Xiangnian glared at Li Muyang, obviously he was worried about what just happened. Pan Xiangnian sighed: "To be honest, turning on the Da Vinci robot once costs the equivalent of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. You will know how expensive it is!"
Bai Ye was dumbfounded! "It's so expensive? Who can afford it?"
There are many people who know the market. At this time, a British man suddenly asked: "Robotic arms are consumable materials. What I want to ask is, how many times can each robotic arm be used, and how much does each robotic arm cost?"
Anda Muyang said: "You don't have to worry about this problem. Sakura's robotic arm is specially made for anorectal surgery, and the robotic arm was developed in cooperation with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The cost is very low, and it is very durable. Each robotic arm
The sales price is 20,000 yuan and can be used about 20 times."
This means that the minimum cost of an operation is more than one thousand, not including other costs.
However, this is already very cheap for the robot market. Considering that a simple PPH surgery now costs thousands, this price is undoubtedly very tempting.
On the first day of the exhibition, Huitian Group's Sakura anorectal surgery robot became the focus of the scene, and countless people began to pay attention to this robot.
This is indeed a monumental milestone for anorectal development.
And Pan Xiangnian looked at Anda Muyang's proud posture like a winner, his eyes filled with envy and...disappointment.
After all, why don't they hope that their country can also produce a robot that stands out from the rest and dwarf Fang Qiu in this era of technological supremacy?
If it hadn't happened at the beginning, no one would have been so unwilling. After all, Japan's technological development is faster than that of our country. This is a fact that we have to admit even if we are unwilling to do so.
But what happened in the morning made everyone a lot more annoyed, and the emergence of the Sakura anorectal surgical robot made people even more frustrated.
At the evening banquet, many people were chatting with each other, but Adachi Muyang and Kawano Shinji undoubtedly became the focus, and countless people were interested in this robot.
The market for surgical robots is growing, from 25,000 cases in 2005 to the latest statistics in 2016, exceeding 650,000!
Countless people have also begun to accept the benefits brought by surgical robots.
Li Muyang knew Pan Xiangnian's bad temper and apologized. In fact, he did not do so unintentionally today and did not think of stopping him. The two sat together again.
Pan Xiangnian sighed: "Damn it, I feel so bad when I see these little devils being so arrogant."
Li Muyang also shook his head: "Every time I attend such a meeting, I feel aggrieved, but there is nothing I can do about it. If you fall behind, you will be blamed. I went to Boston for half a year to study, and to be honest, I really feel deeply about it."
Pan Xiangnian suddenly stared at Bai Ye and said, "Xiao Ye, you have to work hard! See, these little devils are so arrogant and so damn infuriating, you have to work harder in the future!"
Having said this, Pan Xiangnian was suddenly speechless. He was also confused about how capable a person could be.
Bai Ye sighed when he saw Pan Xiangnian's appearance. How could he not feel aggrieved?
At this time, several men walked towards this table.
"Is it convenient?" Jia Li asked Bai Ye with a smile.
Bai Ye turned around and saw that it was the chairman of the Anorectal Association who was testifying for him today. He immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, chairman, please take a seat."
Li Muyang and Pan Xiangnian also saw Jiali, stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, Chairman, welcome, sit down quickly."
In fact, Adachi Muyang and Kawano Shinji were also accompanied, but Bai Ye and Pan Xiangnian were filtered out symbolically.
Jiali Quan pretended not to see it and said with a smile: "I came here because I want to be a peacemaker to you. There is an old saying in China that it is better to dissolve enemies than to marry them, right? I asked them to come over and apologize to you."
"And, to be honest, Chinese medicine has indeed made a lot of contributions to the development of the anorectal cause in the world. It even laid the foundation for the anorectal discipline for a period of time and accelerated the formation of this discipline."
Seeing that the chairman had said this, everyone didn't know what to say. Anda Muyang and Kawano Shinji also raised their glasses and said: "Today is really an oversight on our part. I apologize to everyone."
Jiali looked at Bai Ye approvingly: "Your name is Bai Ye, right? It's really amazing. Today we verified that what you said is indeed well-founded, and the history will be recorded in the development of anorectal medicine."
A brief history of history.”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. This was perhaps the happiest thing today.
Jiali was very busy. After sitting for a while, he stood up and left. Before leaving, he praised Bai Ye a few more words.
However, Kawano Shinji and Adachi Muyang did not leave, but started chatting with them.
Anda Muyang said with a smile: "Our cherry blossoms have passed the US FDA and can be listed in the United States and other countries. Moreover, we are also trying to cooperate with China. When the time comes, we will have many opportunities for cooperation."
Li Muyang smiled and agreed word by word, while Pan Xiangnian turned to chat with Bai Ye.
When Anda Muyang saw this, he was not angry. He stood up, glanced at Bai Ye, and said, "Actually, it is right to respect history, but what people should learn most is to advance with the times instead of dwelling on the past."
"Young man, you are very good. If you have the opportunity, you can come to the University of Tokyo School of Medicine to study. Our door is open to the whole world."
Bai Ye smiled: "I have a question I would like to ask."
Anda Muyang was stunned: "Oh? Excuse me."
Bai Ye: "How much did you spend on researching the robot?"
Anda Muyang was dumbfounded by Bai Ye's question, how much did it cost? Is this doubting our investment in scientific research?
"We have spent several years and a lot of manpower and material resources. If we have to say it, it should be equivalent to several billion yuan or close to tens of billions of yuan in investment, right?"
"But I believe these are not important, because what we have to do is to create miracles and open up a new era."
Bai Ye curled his lips: "It's really a lot. You have invested so much manpower and material resources for a meaningless thing. I have to admire your company's magnanimity."
Anda Muyang was not angry, but smiled: "Language is always used to persuade others, not to comfort yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Pan Xiangnian heard Bai Ye's words and asked with confusion: "Xiao Ye, what do you mean?"
Bai Ye smiled mysteriously: "I'm going to make sure they can't sell even one of their cherry blossoms! No matter how much you invest, you'll lose as much!"
