Chapter 306: Placing an Order for Experimental Equipment
Buy or not?
Is there a choice?
He is not familiar with Xiangjiang, and he doesn't understand Cantonese, and he is a bit awesome in English. He goes out alone to look for it all over the world. I am afraid that when he goes to other companies, he will be slaughtered by them.
The price of this Far East company is definitely expensive, but fortunately, they have a good reputation and know that they want to do a long-term business, so they are not afraid of their money. If it is expensive, it is expensive, just take it as a safe buy.
"Well, that one..."
"Zoey, if Mr. Chen is not used to it, he can also call me Jiahui."
Chen Xia scratched her head awkwardly, "If I pay the full amount with US dollars, can I give me a discount? After all, my laboratory has just started to prepare, and there will be no shortage of instruments and consumables to purchase in the future."
It is estimated that this Far East company will not charge RMB, and he has no hands on the Hong Kong dollar. Now there is only the US dollar that Kanguojun plundered back then.
Don’t worry about whether the US imperialists print money all day long and flood the money, but their American money is just a hard currency and can be circulated all over the world.
Sure enough, zoey became interested as soon as he heard it, "OK, Mr. Chen, wait a moment, I'll ask the manager for instructions."
Manager Zhou did not follow the inspection team to the hospital. Of course, this kind of trivial matter was left to the business manager. He shouted when he heard a knock on the door:
"Come in."
"Manager, the Yankee outside wants to buy a batch of our experimental equipment, which is about 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars in total. He said he wanted to pay in US dollars. I asked if I could give a discount?"
"Ah? Is he going to pay cash? Or US dollars?"
"right."
Manager Zhou was full of doubts that even if the rich man came from the mainland these days, he could actually take out more than 100,000 US dollars in one breath?
He decided to meet this young man. The businessman's professional sensitivity made him feel that this young man was by no means simple, perhaps a super big fish.
The girl from Hong Kong Can invited Chen Xia to the manager's office. Zhou Anbei was very enthusiastic, and she was both tea and chatting.
As a businessman, he always has no shortage of topics and will not be in a bad situation. At the same time, he was also observing Chen Xia's words and behaviors, and found that he did not seem to have the temperament of a superior like a second-generation official. So where did his US dollar come from?
Although Chen Xia is a "dead salted fish", he can still brag basically.
"Manager Zhou, this batch of instruments is only the first batch purchased by our laboratory, and there will be the second batch of third batches, etc. Our laboratory is jointly organized by Lezhijiang Medical University to create a first-class nationally.
So, Manager Zhou, we have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. If your price is right, all the equipment and consumables in our laboratory will be imported from your company in the future. This business is quite large."
Manager Zhou was so fooled by Chen Xia that he was a little confused, so he asked tentatively:
"Mr. Chen, are you planning to trade in US dollars this time? Will you also use US dollars in the future?"
"Yes, I still have some energy in the mainland, and I don't lack US dollars."
Manager Zhou thought for a moment and seemed to have made up his mind, "Okay, I can give you a 20% discount, just like everyone to make friends."
When Chen Xia heard this, she felt good and had 20% less. That was 240,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was about 30,000 US dollars. This made her wife feel merciless in shopping.
"Okay, Manager Zhou is so happy, we have a long way to go."
In this way, before the CT machine was placed, Far East Pharmaceutical Company had reached an agreement with Chen Xia. The two parties signed a contract, Chen Xia took out a deposit of 10,000 US dollars, while Far East Company began to transfer the goods and prepare for delivery in 3 days.
After signing, Chen Xia said to Manager Zhou and Zoey: "Please keep it confidential for me. These instruments are my private orders. I don't want my superiors to know about it, as it will easily cause unnecessary trouble."
Manager Zhou smiled and said, "No problem, our businessmen are based on integrity and will not disclose it at will."
This is indeed not a big problem for Far East companies. Anyway, they want to make money. As for who bought it, why should they use it?
About two hours later, the Yuezhou delegation came back. Several leaders discussed for a long time and decided to buy Hitachi's CT machine.
This latest third-generation full-body CT adopts a rotation-rotation scanning method, with a fan-shaped range of scans, and up to hundreds of detectors are also arranged in a fan-shaped manner. It only performs a rotary scanning, with a scanning time of 1-5 seconds.
It has more functions such as reconstruction programs, local amplification scanning, dynamic scanning, scanning photography and gas imaging.
The first generation CT machine adopts translation + rotational motion, which limits the further improvement of scanning speed.
Now the third generation has reduced the movement time and eliminated the translational movement, which has further shortened the scanning time by rotating the X-ray tube and detector as a whole.
Chen Xia listened next to her for a long time and nodded to her father-in-law. Although there are still many shortcomings, it definitely has an irreplaceable effect on clinical applications. Moreover, this Hitachi CT is the most advanced machine at present.
Worth owning.
When he heard the offer was $600,000, Chen Xia almost sprayed out a mouthful of salt soda. This is so fucking expensive.
It is estimated that the existing medical devices in the Fourth Hospital of Yuezhou are only a fraction of this CT. It can be imagined that if this CT is transported back, it will definitely cause a sensation in the Zhijiang Provincial Health System.
After all, only the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhijiang Medical University has a CT machine, so Yuezhou People's Hospital will become the second hospital in the province to have CT.
By then, the diagnosis and treatment level of the New People's Hospital will be greatly improved. It also indicates that more patient resources are needed. If there are patients, there is money. If there are money, it means that the employee community can be built and benefits can be paid.
This is equivalent to a martial arts master who encounters a peerless sword, which can only be described as if he is like a fish in water.
There is no way to go when the price is expensive. Whoever says that the domestic skills are inferior to those of others can only accept the slaughter.
Only Chen Xia knew that even after 40 years, the country was still not doing well. Although domestic CT accounts for half of the market, the highest-end CT still depends on imports.
Even if it is a domestic CT, the key core parts still need to be imported, and billions of dollars are sent abroad every year.
Chinese people should be self-reliant, which is also a major goal for Chen Xia to come back from rebirth.
To make money, medical careers must develop in a great way.
At that time, take out the various advanced instruments in the space and split them up, study them yourself, and then apply for a lot of patents first. At that time, anyone who wants to produce the CT machine will have to pay him a protection fee.
What about GE, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Siemens, Feilupo, all of them cry, go their own way and leave them nowhere.
The two sides decided on the same day to cooperate, and they would continue negotiations the next day, including personnel training, maintenance, etc.
