Chapter 183: The Crazy Domestic CT Machine

"Of course we have to fight back!"

Ren Xiaomin has always had a good temper, but this time he didn't hesitate at all and was very determined to fight back.

"Before, we didn't know who was behind this, so we couldn't fight back. If we don't fight back now that we know, then won't we be vulnerable to anyone in the future?"

Zhang Yang was a little surprised, but soon nodded with satisfaction. He had the same idea.

"but……"

Seeing Zhang Yang nod, Ren Xiaomin continued:
"However, although we know that Durex is behind this, we don't have any evidence or handle, so fighting back can only show an attitude and will not have any substantial impact on them!"

"My current idea is to return the favor by hiring some online trolls to attack them online. After Durex notices these troll attacks, they will definitely guess that it was us who did it. This can be regarded as a warning to them."

"what do you think?"

"Should we also ask the Internet trolls to attack them?"

Zhang Yang was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was really no other good way to counter it.

But after a moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a wonderful idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

"Brother Ren, your method is indeed simple and crude, but I still feel that itching from a distance is not very meaningful."

"I've come up with an idea. Isn't our 'Strong Sperm Oral Liquid' going to be approved for market launch soon? I think we might as well take advantage of this opportunity to arrange an interview and then take the opportunity to tell the public about the attacks we suffered from the Internet trolls when we were developing male contraceptives!"

"I believe netizens still have memories. If we only hinted that Durex was the mastermind during the interview, would Durex be able to escape?"

Ren Xiaomin's eyes lit up, what a great idea!

According to Zhang Yang's idea, once he publicly said in an interview that Qingshan Pharmaceutical was attacked by a troll army, it would inevitably cause strong indignation among the majority of netizens!
Especially now that Qingshan Pharmaceutical has just developed the world's first drug that can treat asthenozoospermia and is gaining popularity, it is conceivable that Durex will certainly be subjected to huge online bullying!
Haha, although this method is also a bit insidious, who asked Durex to start the Hei Qingshan Pharmaceutical first? Since you have done it, you have to pay the price!
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaomin took a deep breath:

"Zhang Yang, your idea is very good!"

"Also, don't we have a drug under development for treating severe teratozoospermia and azoospermia? We'll announce it during the interview!"

"Didn't they criticize us before that we shouldn't develop male contraceptives, but should develop infertility drugs?"

"We just want to tell everyone that we have not only developed the 'Strengthening Sperm and Strengthening the Body Oral Liquid', but will also completely solve the problem of severe male teratozoospermia in the future, allowing all men to return to reproductive health!"

"See what else they have to say!"

"Yes, that's it!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Ren Xiaomin stood up excitedly upon seeing this and prepared to arrange this matter. He needed to contact an influential news media as soon as possible...

But just after he stood up and took two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around:

"By the way, Zhang Yang, there is one last thing!"

"How do we deal with Liu Zhiyuan, the medical celebrity who has been slandering us on Weibo?"

Zhang Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip, not even raising his head when he heard it.

"He's just a clown. Brother Ren, you can handle it."

Ren Xiaomin was stunned, and suddenly an unprecedented feeling surged up in his mind.

Unconsciously, the level of Qingshan Pharmaceutical, or Zhangyang, seems to have changed drastically.

After dealing with the counterattack against Durex, Zhang Yang still paid special attention to the progress of drug development for the treatment of "severe sperm abnormalities" mentioned by Ren Xiaomin.

This drug was originally developed using a simulator to find the target that causes male sperm abnormalities. Zhang Yang still remembers the name of this target:
Sperm morphology regulatory protein, abbreviated as SMRP.

However, after discovering this target, since managed research and development still required a lot of energy, Zhang Yang simply transferred all subsequent research and development to Qingshan Pharmaceutical's Drug Research and Development Center and handed it over to the first project team that was responsible for the research and development of "Qiangjing Guben Oral Liquid".

Currently, SMRP target drugs are still in the "lead compound" screening stage, which is an acceptable progress and there is no need to rush.

In the following days, Zhang Yang paid close attention to the preliminary verification of lung cancer drugs carried out by the newly established Eighth Project Group, while waiting for the launch of the "Qiangjing Guben Oral Liquid".

About a month later, as the "Qiangjing Guben Oral Liquid" officially passed the clinical trial review of the Food and Drug Administration, Ren Xiaomin also accepted an exclusive interview with the well-known news media Beijing News.

As the news of the upcoming launch of "Qiangjing Guben Oral Liquid" appeared on the Internet, it immediately aroused strong attention from netizens.

In particular, Qingshan Pharmaceutical, which Ren Xiaomin mentioned in the interview, was attacked by hired trolls on the Internet immediately after it launched male contraceptives. This news quickly became a hot topic.

"Who hired the Internet trolls to discredit our Qingshan Pharmaceutical?"

"It must be dug out! It must be resisted!"

Zhang Yang's strategy was very effective. With the help of many media people and netizens, the mastermind behind the incident was pointed at Durex!
It was indeed true that only Durex had an obvious motive for committing the crime. Just a few days later, Durex was pushed to the forefront of public opinion and its online reputation plummeted rapidly.

Zhang Yang was also paying attention to public opinion on the Internet, but to be honest, after paying a little attention to it, he didn't even feel much pleasure in revenge. It was more of a strong warning to Durex and its group.

Gradually, he lost interest in this matter and slowly shifted his attention to another drug of Qingshan Pharmaceutical that was undergoing phase II clinical trials.

"Nano-nodule imaging agent."

Chengdu Third People's Hospital, Innovative Drug Clinical Trial Center.

Director Feng Gang has returned to his post after a short rest of a few days.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Feng Gang, who had some free time, finally sat down in the office. Just as he picked up the cup to drink some water, the office door was suddenly opened.

He couldn't help but frowned, but when he looked up and saw the person coming, the wrinkles on his face instantly disappeared. He quickly put down the cup of water that he hadn't had time to drink, and a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Hey, Zhang Yang, why are you here?"

"You didn't even call before coming here, it was a surprise attack!"

Zhang Yang laughed and said:

"Director Feng, I must have come here specially to see you. I haven't seen you since your last surgery, and I'm still very worried."

"How's it going? How's your recovery from surgery?"

Director Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Although he knew that Zhang Yang's purpose of coming this time was for the "nodule contrast agent" that was undergoing phase II clinical trials, he still felt warm and moved when he heard these words.

"Zhang Yang, thank you for your concern. I have almost recovered. Apart from the occasional cough, everything is fine."

"That's good!" The two said, and Feng Gang didn't stop working, quickly searching for the recent clinical trial data of Qingshan Pharmaceutical's "Nano-nodule Contrast Agent" on the computer.

"Zhang Yang, take a look at the recent clinical trial data of your 'Nano-nodule Contrast Agent'. It's simply shocking!"

Zhang Yang walked to the computer with a smile.

For this Phase II clinical trial of the "Nano-nodule Contrast Agent", the Drug Administration required a total of 300 valid clinical data sources.

An “effective clinical data source” is not just about taking a CT scan with contrast agent. If a malignant tumor is detected, surgery is still required, and only after obtaining the postoperative pathological results can an effective closed-loop data source be established.

Currently, the CT scans of 350 subjects were completed in less than ten days, but the key point is that the operation is relatively slow.

At this time, Feng Gang said:

"At present, the CT imaging results of 350 subjects have been taken. Now we are waiting for the hospital to send back the post-operative pathological results, and finally form a closed data loop."

"Zhang Yang, you really have to thank Director Dai of Xinqiao Hospital. Most of the more than 300 subjects he screened needed surgery, which reduced a lot of follow-up work for us."

Zhang Yang couldn't help but think of Director Dai and nodded heavily.

Feng Gang continued:
"So far, a total of 124 subjects have completed lung nodule surgeries, 104 of which were completed in our hospital and the remaining 20 were completed in other hospitals."

"What is shocking is that all the pathological results after the operation are completely consistent with the CT contrast agent. If the CT contrast agent indicates that it is a malignant tumor, it is true! The accuracy rate is as high as 100%!"

Even though he already knew the result in advance, Feng Gang still sounded surprised when he said it!

But he became more and more sad as he spoke, and when he said the last sentence, he couldn't help but look up at Zhang Yang and sighed:

"Zhang Yang, why didn't you develop this developer earlier?!"

"If I had had your 'contrast agent' when I had surgery last month, I wouldn't have had the surgery in vain."

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Yang laughed out loud to ease his embarrassment. He remembered that Feng Gang had obtained this developer technology after the operation!
Fortunately, Feng Gang was just saying it casually, and after sighing, he returned to the main topic.

"Based on your current 100% accuracy rate, Zhang Yang, I estimate that your Phase III clinical trial will be a 'boom'!"

"Not only will the participating subjects 'explode', but even major hospitals will 'explode'. With this kind of data, which hospital would not want to cooperate with you in clinical trial data?"

Zhang Yang laughed again.

"Lend your auspicious words!"

Feng Gang was right. When Zhang Yang published the clinical data of the first 100 subjects in the Phase II clinical trial of the "Nano-nodule Contrast Agent" on the official website of the "National Drug Review Center", it immediately attracted the attention of major hospitals across the country.

Just kidding, 100% accuracy rate, this is simply a magic weapon considering the huge demand from patients with lung nodules and lung cancer nowadays!
but.

After the shock, all hospitals realized that it was very simple to introduce Tsingshan Pharmaceutical's "nano-nodule contrast agent", and the key issue was actually - the contrast CT machine!
After all, traditional CT machines cannot recognize contrast agents at all, so we had to purchase a domestic brand CT machine called Elephant Medical!
At Union Hospital, Director Qiao was the first to find President Feng.

"Dean Feng, I must report something to you carefully!"

"It is very necessary for us to introduce a domestically produced CT machine right now. You must have known that it is the nodule-developing CT machine that is compatible with Qingshan Pharmaceutical's 'Nano-nodule Contrast Agent'!"

In the office, President Feng of Union Hospital nodded slightly. He had also heard about Qingshan Pharmaceutical's nano-nodule contrast agent and CT machine.

However, he wondered:
"Director Qiao, do we have to introduce new matching CT machines? Our hospital uses Siemens and GE machines. Can we modify them?"

"Dean Feng, as far as I know, that's not possible!"

Director Qiao shook his head and said:

"Qingshan Pharmaceutical has reached a cooperation agreement with a domestic brand called 'Elephant Medical'. Currently, only their CT machines can recognize Qingshan Pharmaceutical's contrast agent.
So... we can only choose to re-purchase this domestic brand of CT machine! "

“Domestic products, are they reliable?”

Director Qiao couldn't help but purse his lips.

Although he knew nothing about the domestic brand Elephant Medical, he had no choice at the moment!

"Dean Feng, that should be possible!"

"But no matter what, we have to purchase the products as soon as possible. We can't ask the patient to go to another hospital for a CT scan before the operation, right?!"

Dean Feng took a deep breath and realized that this was true:
"Okay, I'll send someone to negotiate."

The same thing happened in West China.

As West China Hospital is closer to Chengdu Third People's Hospital, it has a deeper understanding of the significant impact of "nano-nodule contrast agent".

So, while Union Medical College was still preparing to contact Elephant Medical, West China had already taken action.

"Dr. Gan, I have contacted Elephant Medical according to your request, and they are excited about our inquiry!"

"However, when I asked about the price, they said that it had not been fully determined yet and that I could make a reservation first, and they would notify us as soon as the price was confirmed!"

In the office, Dean Gan couldn't help but frowned.

"The price hasn't been decided yet?"

He couldn't help but snorted. If it was before, he wouldn't even look at this so-called domestic elephant medical brand, but now...

There is no choice but to hold on to his thigh.

"Well, since they said they haven't decided on a price yet, let's just wait!"

"By the way, what were their original selling prices?"

Director Li from Purchasing said hurriedly:
"Their previous basic model was 800 million yuan, but due to the pressure from Siemens, the price dropped to 700 million yuan!"

"But I estimate that the price of this CT machine that can develop images may reach 1000 million. After all, it is currently the only CT machine that can recognize Qingshan Pharmaceutical's developer!"

Dean Gan nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he frowned:
"Lao Li, you must keep in close contact with them. No matter what the price is, we must be the first to get the first batch!"

"Understand?"
