One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty-Eight to Japan's Claws

Speaking of the field of medical devices, this is also a promising field.

And in this respect, we are even further behind the world, even bigger than the gap between our medicine and the world's medicine.

It is no exaggeration to say that the scalpels used by doctors in many tertiary hospitals are imported from abroad.

Maybe when it comes to this, many people will scold, can't even make a scalpel in China?

To be honest, we really can't make advanced scalpels well.

There is a gap in the material!

Especially for many special types of blades, we all rely on imports from Germany, Japan and the United States.

This is the bloody reality.

As for other medical consumables, let alone.

If you have relatives who go to the hospital for surgery, you will often hear from the doctor that when you need to use consumables, they will ask you if you want to import them?

For example, bone joints that need to be replaced, such as vascular stents for the heart.

Let’s talk about vascular stents. Obviously, the cost of one piece is only a few hundred yuan, but it can cost tens of thousands in the hospital.

The domestic ones are much cheaper, but why no one wants to use them?

Because the quality is really not good...

As for bone joints, let alone titanium alloy replacements for ankle joints and hip joints, basic doctors will recommend foreign-made replacements to patients...

On the one hand, it is because they are imported from abroad, which makes them profitable.

On the other hand, you have to admit that the quality made abroad is indeed better than domestic ones.

Some people may not be convinced. We can also make many medical devices domestically, so why do we have to use foreign ones.

You are worshiping foreigners...

But in fact, anyone who has been in contact with the medical industry will know that this is really not xenophobia.

In terms of quality, medical enterprises produced by large foreign companies are really better than domestic ones.

For example, the cardiovascular stent made in Japan can reduce adhesions.

However, domestic stents are likely to become vascular garbage collectors after a few years of use.

In a few years, thrombosis will form again, requiring a second operation for replacement.

As for the ones made in Japan, if you tell you how many years they can be used, they will really be used for how many years.

Speaking of the fundamentals, there is actually a gap between the materials and others.

People make brackets, scalpels, and metals for joint replacements, all of which are special metals.

And the smelting of this special metal is a unique skill of others, but in this respect, it is precisely what our country lacks the most.

So many times, when we see other people's medical equipment, we often only know what it is, but we don't know why.

Even if you imitate the cottage, you can only imitate the appearance of the cottage, but you can't imitate the essence of others.

So in this field, Xiao Feng told Mr. Wan that there is definitely a lot to do.

For example, during this period of time, due to the pandemic, the global economy has been shut down.

Many small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe, America and Japan cannot persist.

And Xiao Feng proposed to Mr. Wan that at this time, quietly acquire small and medium-sized medical equipment companies in these countries.

Especially Japanese ones.

In Europe and the United States, small and medium-sized medical device companies have almost been swallowed up by large companies.

There are also some in Germany, and it is Japan that really has a large number of such medical device companies.

Many of these SMEs were originally small workshops.

Later, after the rise of large Japanese medical device companies, they did not annex these small workshops.

Instead, they will be incorporated, and then in the form of subcontracting, let them help large companies produce.

In this way, these small and medium-sized enterprises can deeply cultivate in a certain field, even in a certain field for decades.

It is precisely these decades of technological accumulation that have allowed them to do more and more finely and finely in this field.

The most typical of these is Japan's Hadlock Company, a small business with only 30 to 40 employees, but it can earn billions of dollars every year just by selling fasteners.

That's right, it is the company that was scolded by countless people in our country, saying that it was completely blown out by Japan.

It is said that our country's fasteners have long been able to replace their products and have been used on high-speed rail and aircraft carriers.

It's a pity that the cruel truth will slap those pink faces hard.

If you go to the real investigation, you will know that we not only use many key parts of the high-speed rail, but also use other people's fasteners.

Even our aircraft mother, many parts are also purchasing other people's fasteners.

There is no way, even if we can do high-strength fastening, but in terms of rust prevention, we are far behind others.

Other people's fasteners can be used for several years without rusting, but domestic ones just can't do it.

It stands to reason that people have already put the drawings of the fasteners on the Internet, so they are not afraid of copycats.

But why can't you come out of the cottage?

It is because the material used for the screws and nuts is special steel, which guarantees the strength, toughness, and anti-rust function during smelting.

It can be achieved that it does not slip when it is subjected to huge torque.

And it's not just a matter of materials, even when smelting, other people's craftsmanship and procedures will leave you thousands of miles away.

And these are all people who spent a lot of energy to figure out.

And this kind of crazy investment in material research and development is exactly what we are most in short supply now.

The same is true for medical devices.

The price of a blade of other people's scalpels is several times that of domestic ones.

When it is available, the cutting feel is smoother than yours.

The most important thing is that theirs is also resistant to rust, we just can't do it, you are not angry...

But now, there are not many domestic companies willing to work hard in these fields.

There are too many debts owed, after all, we all know that doing this kind of scientific research is tough.

It is necessary to invest heavily and spend money every day. Not to mention the long cycle, it may not necessarily produce results.

Doing this kind of business, how can you build a house every day and get money quickly?

So now domestic businessmen and capital are frantically looking for the next outlet, and no one really settles down to start a business.

In Xiao Feng's view, this is very undesirable, but at the same time, in his view, this is also a very good opportunity.

The market here is really too big, Mr. Wan doesn't need to make any innovations at this time.

Just fill in the pits of ordinary medical equipment and replace the debts we owe in this field.

As long as he can master the skills of producing ordinary medical devices in Japan, the domestic market alone will be enough for him.

His Penglai Pavilion has so many doctor resources, you said that by then they will develop medical devices that are no worse than those abroad.

Still need to worry about selling it?

Why did no one in China want to touch the medical device industry in the past?

On the one hand, it is because the technology and quality of the same foreign products are much inferior, and the price cannot be bought, and they cannot compete with others.

The second aspect is because they have no channels, and the medical devices they produce are found in hospitals and doctors, but they are not willing to use them.

Even if you agree to use it, the dark night will require heavy bleeding.

In the end, not only did they not make money, but they also lost money. Do you think they are willing to do this?

But Mr. Wan is different from those companies. First of all, he has so many doctors in his hands.

This is equivalent to him having a channel.

As long as he can manufacture medical devices whose quality does not belong to foreign products, even ordinary scalpels, metal joint replacement parts, vascular stents and the like.

The price is a little cheaper than imported ones, and these doctors are also willing to use them.

On the one hand, it was because they took advantage of the Penglai Pavilion platform, so it was hard to refuse.

On the other hand, it was because they were also from H country.

The quality of domestically produced equipment is not inferior to that of foreign countries, so why not support domestic production?

This is the same as domestic mobile phones in recent years.

The price is cheap and the quality is not bad, why use apples?

What's more, Xiao Feng pointed out a clear path to Mr. Wan, and many of the Japanese companies he bought were very high-tech.

It's not the kind that can only make scalpels and heart stents.

For example, he asked Mr. Wan to acquire two companies that manufacture endoscopes.

Many people may have some associations when they hear endoscopy, but don't think wrongly.

In recent years, a variety of minimally invasive surgeries have emerged, and this is mainly due to the persistence and breakthroughs of the Japanese in this field.

That's right, although Japan's medical industry has developed rapidly in recent years, they have discovered that in the field of high-end medicine, European and American countries have always occupied the high-end market.

So from the end of the last century, the Japanese have found another way and began to specialize in laparoscopic surgery, which is now more and more popular minimally invasive surgery.

And soon a major breakthrough was made in this regard.

Up to now, in the field of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, Japan has become the number one power in the world.

In particular, the various laparoscopic lenses they produce are sold on five continents.

Almost all hospitals in the world that can perform minimally invasive surgery use 80% of the laparoscopes made in Japan.

Panasonic, Omron, Toshiba, etc., almost all major Japanese companies with medical divisions can produce this thing.

But there are many, and they are not produced by themselves.

Many of them are OEM products produced by suitable small and medium-sized enterprises they found in Japan.

And almost every one of these small and medium-sized enterprises has its own unique technology.

For example, the lens polishing of the cavity mirror, or the wires, etc., they all have unique skills in this regard.

But because of the sudden blow of the pandemic, Japan's economy has also come to a standstill.

Those big companies are desperately seeking to survive and seek self-protection, so how can they care about these small and medium-sized enterprises?

Some large companies have their own funds, and some have government support, and the living environment is not too difficult.

But these small and medium-sized enterprises that eat the last meal and wait for the next meal have nothing to rely on.

In this way, Mr. Wan stretched out his claws to Japan, and quietly settled many houses...

Of course, the cooperation of Japanese traitors must be indispensable here. After all, the Japanese are still quite sensitive to the acquisition of Japanese companies by H people, especially Japanese companies with technology.
