Nowadays, medical devices are concentrated in the United States. Qiao Shanshan also bought a plane ticket to the United States. She had heard about this company from her colleagues in her previous life. Although Qiao Shanshan did not know where the company was, she knew that many large American companies wanted to cooperate with China these days.
Qiao Shanshan has already established a medical device company in China and has also obtained a Class II medical device license through Wei Mingyuan's connections. She now has everything she needs, and is just waiting for the right opportunity!
When Qiao Shanshan arrived in the United States, she knew nothing about it. Looking at the unfamiliar faces in front of her, she felt a little panicked, but also a kind of excitement she had never felt before.
She suddenly understood why men were reluctant to let women see the world, and why men would say sarcastic things to belittle women after they achieved success in their careers.
Once a woman has seen the world, it's hard for her to go back to where she was before. Qiao Shanshan had only just arrived in America when she was already unwilling to go back to be with Wei Mingyuan.
Qiao Shanshan called American Radio to ask if people could call TV stations to help them find phone numbers and addresses these days.
Zhou Jian'an used the same method to inquire about local companies when he went to South America.
Qiao Shanshan was the same. Although she had no social experience, she had inquired and consulted relevant books before coming, so she roughly knew how to contact these medical device companies.
After calling the radio station, Qiao Shanshan stayed by the phone.
Fortunately, the TV station was quite reliable; they helped me find the contact information for the medical device company.
After finding the addresses, Qiao Shanshan went door-to-door to visit each family. This was not an easy task for her, as it was her first time in the United States, she didn't speak the language, and she didn't know any of the customs.
Fortunately, there are very few Chinese people in the United States these days.
Many American companies want to cooperate with China but have no opportunity. Qiao Shanshan's appearance has provided them with this bridge.
However, the negotiations with the first few companies did not go smoothly. Qiao Shanshan's language skills were not very good, and the other party could not understand what she was saying. Qiao Shanshan herself was also a little frustrated. She could only go to the fifth company, which was a medical device company located in the central area of the United States.
"Qiao Shanshan?"
A director from the United States named David called out to Qiao Shanshan in a slightly accented voice. Qiao Shanshan quickly stood up, nervously fiddling with her bangs. She was wearing a white shirt and black suit pants. She didn't realize how unfashionable she was back in China, but after coming to the United States, she realized just how unsophisticated she was.
David was wearing a gray suit, and he looked very presentable.
"Hello, Mr. David, I am Qiao Shanshan."
"Hello, we are very interested in the medical device distribution you mentioned. Could you come in with us so we can discuss it in detail?" However, they soon discovered that Qiao Shanshan only knew how to give simple greetings.
She couldn't communicate with them about equipment.
Qiao Shanshan was also a little frustrated. She had studied English for several months and thought she was doing well, but when she came out, she found that she couldn't speak a single word. Even if she could, she would stumble and stutter, and couldn't speak fluently at all.
David found a tomato for Qiao Shanshan. The other person was an ABC (American-born Chinese), and although his pronunciation wasn't perfect, he could understand what Qiao Shanshan was saying. After learning that she wasn't from Hong Kong but from a mainland company, the other person told Qiao Shanshan that this was great, as they hadn't yet established an agency in mainland China.
“Mr. David said that Luxembourg only has a partner company in Hong Kong, which does not affect its cooperation with mainland China, since Hong Kong has not yet returned to China.”
Qiao Shanshan nodded hurriedly. She didn't understand anything and was afraid that she would say the wrong thing and ruin the cooperation.
Coming to Hong Kong was a rare opportunity for Qiao Shanshan. The plane ticket was funded by Wei Mingyuan. She didn't know why she insisted on coming to the United States. Maybe it was to prove something to Wei Mingyuan, maybe it was a momentary impulse, or maybe it was to get away and relax.
In short, Qiao Shanshan insisted on coming.
She didn't even know what the situation was like in the United States. If she couldn't reach any cooperation agreements and couldn't bring anything back, her and Wei Mingyuan's airfare money would be wasted, which would be a significant blow to them.
Fortunately, Mr. David was unaware of the situation in mainland China, nor did he know what level Qiao Shanshan's attire would be considered in mainland China.
David didn't judge a book by its cover. He agreed to the collaboration with Qiao Shanshan and wanted to sign a two-year contract with her, hoping that she could really sell their instruments and catheters in mainland China as she said.
The catheter was an add-on for Mr. David. This type of catheter is highly competitive in the United States. David felt that with a population of one billion in China, if medical consumables could be sold to China, the catheter might find a way out.
David also asked the translator to give Qiao Shanshan two samples.
What Qiao Shanshan saw was a new type of catheter and monitor.
Catheters are a type of consumable. Qiao Shanshan only knew that medical consumables sold very well. After all, she was a nurse who usually gave injections. Many items could only be used once. If catheters were sold to the mainland, a hospital's annual sales would be very considerable.
Another type is a patient monitor. This type of monitor is small and can monitor various data very well. The medical room where Qiao Shanshan works does not have this type of monitor because the equipment is not advanced enough.
Qiao Shanshan looked on with curiosity, and David taught her how to use the monitor and how to detect data.
“We have our own distributor in Gangcheng. To be frank, if you don’t come to us directly but instead go to the Gangcheng company, you can only become a second-level distributor for that company.”
Qiao Shanshan roughly understood what a second-level agent meant.
She gets her goods from Gangcheng and collaborates with Gangcheng. Although the goods she gets are from this company, the price she gets is higher, and the quantity of goods is unstable.
