Chapter 485 The Real Boss Fang (Please Subscribe)
Upon hearing Fang Ziye's words, no one thought it was just empty promises.

Many members of both the medical and nursing teams lowered their heads and chuckled softly.

In fact, it is inappropriate to discuss such substantive issues of interest during shift handover. In clinical work, the primary consideration should be the quality of patient care, not how much you, as a doctor, will gain.

The truth is that Fang Ziye has completely handed over the surgery for lower limb damage and functional reconstruction, meaning that the preliminary 'small-scale' clinical trials of the two major projects have been very successful.

In September, we can start to follow up on the lower limb function reconstruction cases from June and July and publish articles.

The articles related to cases can be considered as cluster-based case reports, which can lead to corresponding theoretical analyses; big data-related reports and many other articles.

This can even lead to the publication of articles about many operational details and new interpretations.

Although these short articles are of little use to Fang Ziye, his junior colleagues can pick them up to strengthen their own scientific research foundation.

"Of course, these gains are not the most important thing. More importantly, we will have more learning opportunities."

Fang Ziye chuckled as he said this, "Every learning opportunity is hard-won. I hope that all the students in our department, whether they are pursuing a master's degree, a residency, or a doctorate, can learn as much as possible."

"In that case, you might become highly sought-after after graduation..."

"I don't have much else to say. Everyone has worked hard, so please remember to balance work and rest. Do your work when you need to, and relax properly when you need to."

"That's settled then, thank you, Teacher Liu." In front of everyone, Fang Ziye still didn't call Liu Huanglong "Director Liu," but instead addressed him as "Teacher Liu."

……

Monday was the surgery day for Associate Professor Chen Fang's group, and Fang Ziye was supposed to go on rounds immediately after handing over his shift.

Fang Ziye had just finished his shift and was leaving the office when he was stopped by a phone call—

Chen Fang was used to this. Even without Fang Ziye, Liu Huanglong led the ward rounds, and the team continued to move forward.

Both Liu Huanglong and Fang Ziye work across three groups, but one is a director and the other is a chief resident.

"Teacher Qi, what's the matter that you're calling so early?" Fang Ziye replied politely after answering the phone.

Teacher Qi is the head of the animal experiment training center at Zhongnan Hospital. The operating rooms in the animal experiment center are often full.

Fang Ziye's destruction of the domestic rabbit model was of great merit, and Fang Ziye was able to receive a certain percentage of the profits, which can be considered as patent royalties.

"Dr. Fang, there is indeed something we need to discuss. The head of one of the larger animal testing centers in Hubei Province wants to talk to you about a potential collaboration."

“In teaching, one should be broad-minded rather than hiding one’s shortcomings. He also wants your authorization to use animal testing models so that more surgeons can be accommodated for training and practice,” Qi Honghai explained.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye bluntly stated, "Director Qi, are they here to make money, or to promote their teaching methods and make money on the side?"

These are two different things.

If the goal was to make money, Fang Ziye wouldn't want to get involved in such a dirty business and wouldn't bother with the subsequent quality management.

However, if the other party wants to promote their teaching while also making a little money, that's fine. As long as they accept the unified pricing with Fang Ziye and focus on volume rather than price, everything is negotiable.

Fang Ziye didn't want the money he earned to end up in someone else's pocket, or for him to take the blame for something he didn't do.

Therefore, when negotiating contracts with animal testing centers, Deng Yong specifically consulted with lawyers from a law firm to handle these matters.

"Dr. Fang, I'm not too sure about that! When it comes to business, making money is definitely the goal."

"The other side is very strong and has a much greater ability to promote teaching. They are far superior to our experimental center," Qi Honghai replied.

"Dr. Fang, didn't you tell me before that if we wanted all the doctors in the country to be able to perform surgery related to trauma?"

"Then I think this company is the most suitable..."

After hearing this, Fang Ziye felt a slight chill run down his spine. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Has the other party arrived at the animal testing center yet?"

"Dr. Fang, actually, we're waiting for you downstairs in the orthopedic building. Where's convenient for you?" Qi Honghai showed Fang Ziye exceptional respect.

Although the rabbit models provided by Fang Ziye are not the most profitable items, they are unique and unparalleled 'top-tier animal models'.

What does this mean? This is the concept of 'becoming famous'. In the future, if other laboratories want to develop such animal models, they will have to mention the animal testing center of Zhongnan Hospital.

Fang Ziye is the patent holder, but the animal testing center where he works is a real, tangible testing center that is being relied upon.

The hospital has already expanded its animal testing center for this purpose. Although some specialized operating rooms have been allocated to the orthopedics department, it is still a form of recognition from the hospital for the animal testing center.

……

After Fang Ziye went downstairs and saw Qi Honghai and the other two people from the so-called company, he smiled and shook hands with them before heading towards the Functional Science Laboratory Building.

After everyone was seated, Qi Honghai had already arranged for tea to be prepared, and Wang Qun, the deputy director of the animal testing center, was also present.

With a slightly chubby build, he smiled like a Buddha: "Dr. Fang, these two are the technical engineer and general manager of Bailin Biotechnology, a subsidiary of Guangbai Group."

“Director Wang, I’ve already introduced him. We’ve just had a chat with Dr. Fang,” replied Han Qiong, the technical engineer.

What are you doing? This is the time to discuss the main topic, not to show off your presence.

The other general manager, Huang Liuyuan, was upright and more shrewd: "Engineer Han, Director Wang just arrived, so he doesn't know. We're just chatting casually."

"Dr. Fang, what do you think of our proposal? We came here in good faith."

"Our main hope is that Dr. Fang can transfer the patent. Our company will offer it to you at a very satisfactory price."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye looked at Huang Liuyuan and asked, "Mr. Huang, if your company obtains this patent transfer, how will you set the price?"

"I'm not short of money right now," Fang Ziye emphasized.

Fang Ziye's patents are sometimes more like a child; they're not something he'd easily sell. Unless he's desperately short of money and the price offered isn't high enough, he'd rather not sell them.

"Dr. Fang, you don't need to worry about sales-related issues. You're a technical person, and our company has a well-established set of rules and regulations for business-related matters."

"As for the patent transfer fee, it will definitely satisfy you, Dr. Fang. Our company has discussed it, and we plan to offer 500,000..."

"Dr. Fang!" Huang Liuyuan was stunned. He had only quoted a price, but he did not expect Fang Ziye to stand up and leave so decisively and without any hesitation.

Huang Liuyuan quickly caught up: "Dr. Fang, please don't be angry. If the price isn't right, we can discuss it again!"

Fang Ziye turned around and said, "No talk! I don't lack money, I'm very rich now."

"I have enough for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. I'm just an ordinary person, and if I'm frugal, I'll have enough for the rest of my life."

Fang Ziye tilted his head and explained briefly before continuing towards the elevator lobby. "Dr. Fang, don't be angry. Business is about give and take; the price is negotiable," Huang Liuyuan said.

Fang Ziye pressed the button for the elevator to go down and said solemnly, "Mr. Huang, but you may not understand. I'm not in business, and I don't understand your ways."

All I know is that you're treating me like a fool.

"Respect is mutual; those who respect others will be respected in return."

"Don't talk to me anymore, including your company. If we absolutely have to talk, I'll probably go directly to General Manager Chen."

Before Huang Liuyuan could say anything more, Fang Ziye replied directly, "You don't need to preach to me. There are plenty of people in this world who keep their secrets to themselves. I'm not afraid of adding one more person like me."

"Excuse me, I have to go do my ward rounds. I have a lot of surgeries to perform after that!"

The elevator happened to come down, and Fang Ziye squeezed in.

Huang Liuyuan and Han Qiong squeezed in, looking flustered. Han Qiong looked at Huang Liuyuan as if he were an idiot.

It wasn't until the elevator reached the first floor that Han Qiong said, "Dr. Fang, don't be angry. I'm also a technician. I just feel that your animal testing model should benefit more medical staff and patients."

"How about this, Dr. Fang? I don't know either. You can suggest a price, and then we'll go back and report."

"Manager Huang may have misremembered the number, which is why he made a slip of the tongue. 500,000 is indeed a bit inappropriate."

Fang Ziye continued walking towards the orthopedic building, glancing at Han Qiong as he went, and then said, "No need to talk anymore. I'll talk to your leader directly later. Really, don't follow me anymore."

"Once I've made a decision, there's no room for further discussion."

"As the saying goes, those who respect themselves will be respected by others."

"Five hundred thousand? Do you even consider me a human being?"

"You can't fool a fool like that!" Fang Ziye looked at Huang Liuyuan and quickly headed towards the orthopedic building.

This is Zhongnan Hospital, Fang Ziye's home turf. Whether it's a one-on-one fight or a group brawl, Fang Ziye is not afraid of Huang Liuyuan at all, and he is not afraid of anything else either.

There's no other reason than the confidence I gained from my two mentors, because this is Zhongnan Hospital, backed by Wuhan University!

If Huang Liuyuan had the ability to "overthrow" Zhongnan Hospital, he wouldn't need to talk to me; a single sentence would probably suffice, and countless people would rally around for him.

After Fang Ziye left, Han Qiong looked at Huang Liuyuan and complained, "I don't know what you were thinking just now, Mr. Huang. I just don't understand!"

Han Qiong walked away.

Huang Liuyuan glanced at Fang Ziye, then at Han Qiong who had left, and began to mutter curses under his breath…

"What the hell is wrong with this guy? He's so damn hard to please."

Huang Liuyuan was simply after performance. If he could get the patent transfer fee at a low price, he could pocket a large portion of it by making a midway price increase, which would also be a great achievement for the company.

He could have easily been promoted to the position of general manager of the sales department. However, Fang Ziye's reaction exceeded his expectations of most people; he completely ignored any simple principles...

If you dare to mess with me, he'll just flip the table.

When Fang Ziye returned to the chief inpatient office to rest, he watched as his basic knowledge points income increased from about 1,000 per day to 1,700 or 1,800 per day, and was trending toward 2,000.

Fang Ziye increasingly felt that he might really need to cooperate with Chen Guangbai.

If Fang Ziye could extend the teaching of destructive methods to more people, he would be able to achieve a certain degree of freedom in terms of 'knowledge points'.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to add points however you want?

The timing is relatively ripe.

After hesitating for about five minutes, Fang Ziye dialed Chen Guangbai's WeChat number.

When Fang Ziye was in Enshi, he added Chen Guangbai's personal WeChat account. At that time, it was Dr. Chen who was helping Chen Guangbai with his affairs.

They knew that Fang Ziye was a local from Enshi and very capable, so they added him on WeChat.

Personal WeChat messages are quite private, so Fang Ziye's WeChat call was answered very quickly.

"Dr. Fang, what brings you to call me?" Mr. Chen's hearty laughter came back, and it was clear that he was in a very good mood.

Fang Ziye then explained what had happened that morning, and then said, "President Chen, I know it's not appropriate for me to bother you personally about this matter, but I think that if we want more colleagues to come into contact with the Destruction Technique as soon as possible..."

"We can only turn to you, Mr. Chen, because you said before that you have your own animal testing centers in major cities across the country."

"If there is a mature technical design, it can be put into use immediately, benefiting colleagues in the city, such as Shanghai, Chengdu, Beijing, and Shashi."

"Mr. Chen, my suggestion is just my personal opinion, and I hope it is not just reckless talk without knowing right from wrong."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guangbai immediately replied, "No, no, Dr. Fang, the fact that you called me directly shows that you think highly of me, Chen Guangbai."

"I still have a passion for the medical field. Since you, the patent holder, are not afraid of not making money, why should I be afraid?"

"However, in order to avoid losing money, I can guarantee you that even in Kyoto and Shanghai, the price increase of each animal model will not exceed 10%. This is my limit."

“Dr. Fang, as you know, after the incident in Enshi, I felt that people are inherently selfish. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish; people always need something to strive for…”

Sometimes, what you do well may seem great to others at first, but they may not always feel that way.

There is a possibility of backlash.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. You've really gone to a lot of trouble," Fang Ziye replied with a smile.

This feeling is actually quite unpleasant; you give someone else their patent to use, but you still have to thank them. However, Fang Ziye needs such a platform now.

"Dr. Fang, you're too kind!"

"Actually, I've wanted to ask you, Dr. Fang, to have a chat many times, but nothing has come of it. Since this is the case, I'll contact you directly."

"Why not meet by chance? Let's have afternoon tea together today, just the two of us, Dr. Fang, near your workplace?"

"I only have one afternoon tea time left today," Chen Guangbai asked.

"Then I'll wait for your call, Mr. Chen? I only have one surgery today, which should be completed before 1 p.m.," Fang Ziye replied.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ziye let his hands hang down, closed his eyes, and felt that he had bravely taken his first big step forward...
