Ogilvy Pharmaceutical's original equipment was all from Japan's Toyoda, so Ye Qirong and others were more interested in Japan's industrial equipment.
The reason is simple. If all the equipment in the pharmaceutical factory is produced by the same company in the future, then they will all be skilled workers with production operation experience, and will not need additional training, which can also save a lot of money.
The production department can also perform simple maintenance and upkeep on the equipment, which can save a lot of money.
Everyone who has repaired a car has this experience: when the car breaks down, it is sent to a 4S shop or auto repair shop. Even a small problem can be repaired into a big one.
It's just a matter of changing a screw, but they dare to ask you to replace the entire set of parts.
In this way, a problem that could be solved with tens or hundreds of yuan may cost thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, but consumers have no choice. This thing is too professional, and you can only pay the money even though you know you are being ripped off.
The same is true for industrial machinery. The Japanese are very good at doing business. You want to buy machinery? Sure, sure, the price is negotiable.
Consumers think that the Japanese are so easy to talk to and the prices are so affordable, they are really great friends.
Then you are too naive. There are regulations for their after-sales service. If the machine breaks down, you can only ask the Japanese company to send someone to repair it. If you disassemble it without authorization, they will not be responsible in the future.
Well, you Japanese can come and repair it. Your manufacturer must reimburse the round-trip air tickets and provide free accommodation.
You may have a minor problem, maybe just a blown fuse or a faulty screw, but they will charge you tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Hey, are you going to give me this money? If not, it will just be a pile of scrap metal, but if I give it, I will feel depressed.
But there are some people who don't feel bad about selling their grandparents' land.
But decades have passed, you should have learned your lesson, right?
A bunch of prodigals who have never really thought about how to develop the domestic technology level.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Xia for the time being. At the trade show, he was very interested in medical equipment. Looking through the information, he found that the CT machines, MR machines, and automated testers in his own hospital were all decades ahead.
I was thinking about it in my mind.
Once we have money, we must set up a technical department as soon as possible to specialize in the research of certain core components and apply for patents for all of them, so that these foreign medical equipment manufacturers will have no way to bypass them and will pay the patent fees obediently.
Of course, he knew that the possibility of producing a complete machine was very small. At least he couldn't solve the problem of chips and materials. He couldn't be asked to research the wafer production line again, could he? His weak arms and legs would definitely not be able to handle it.
Therefore, as long as he masters the patents for core components, he will be able to make equipment manufacturers all over the world extremely happy.
What if someone dares to steal his patent without paying and acts like a hooligan?
That's easy. If that day really comes, Chen Xia will dare to open up all patents for free and lower the prices of all medical equipment and devices to a rock-bottom price to see who suffers the greater loss.
The production costs of these equipment and instruments, as well as imported drugs, are not high; the high cost lies in the R&D costs.
Once a product is developed, pharmaceutical companies still hope to make a fortune from their monopoly. If the price plummets to rock bottom, not only will they not be able to recover their R&D costs, but even their production costs, it would be a wonder these companies don't go bankrupt.
Others have high R&D costs, but Chen Xia just copies homework without spending much brain cells.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that no one in the world can defeat a patent troll like him.
The equipment from Japan Fengtian is the focus of Ye Shirong and his team this time. If nothing unexpected happens, they will probably continue to purchase their equipment.
Their exhibition is very large. In order to support its domestic enterprises, Japan has set up a special "Japan Pavilion", which is full of important domestic enterprises. The products on display range from aerospace technology to automobile industry, including medical equipment.
When Chen Xia and his group walked into the Fengtian booth, several salesmen came over immediately, bowing and nodding politely and asking questions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Fengtian exhibition area. Please tell us which equipment of our company you are most interested in. We are happy to provide you with a detailed introduction."
Business negotiation is not Chen Xia's strong point, so everyone agreed in advance that Chen Shuqin and Ye Shirong would be the main ones.
Chen Shuqin introduced herself: "Hello, we are from Xiangjiang Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company. We are looking to purchase a batch of pharmaceutical equipment, as well as some laboratory instruments."
As soon as they heard that we were going to purchase pharmaceutical equipment, they immediately replaced us with a medical equipment staff member to give a full introduction.
Seeing that his aunt and the others had already started selecting equipment, Chen Xia began to wander around the exhibition area out of boredom. He was just a doctor and didn't know much about business or pharmaceuticals.
Leave professional matters to professionals. Besides, it’s just purchasing some equipment, which is not a big deal.
He was still interested in a five-axis linkage machine tool from Fengtian in the exhibition hall.
This is a great treasure. This top-level machine tool can be used for efficient, precise and automated processing of complex surfaces. It is a key processing equipment urgently needed by civilian industries and military departments such as shipbuilding, aerospace, molds, and high-precision instruments.
Chen Xia knew about this thing from an old news story he saw on the Internet. The story happened in 1983, but it has not been leaked yet.
The thing is, Su Lian spent a whopping 3.7 billion yen, hiding it from everyone, and secretly bought a five-axis linkage machine tool from Japan's Toshiba company.
With this machine tool, the Soviet Union's military industry was immediately upgraded. For example, their nuclear submarines used to make a lot of noise. Even if they were hiding on the seabed, the American sonar could detect them from 200 nautical miles away.
However, since the Soviet Union had five-axis machine tools, the processing technology has undergone earth-shaking changes. It has become difficult for the American sonar to monitor the Soviet Union's nuclear submarines, and the American army is almost questioning their lives.
This is no joke. If Soviet submarines are lurking on the seabed around New York and a war breaks out between the two countries, nuclear submarines can directly destroy New York and Washington in the shortest time possible.
This is fatal. This shows the importance of five-axis linkage machine tools to military industry.
