Chapter 1641: Chapter 1645: Equity Shares!
Gong Daizhen was never just a simple doctor.
After all, taking the hospital route to engage in medical aesthetics is simply unworkable.
Therefore, she already has a plastic surgery hospital in the capital, as well as high-end plastic surgery facilities, and even her students have established their own plastic surgery organizations.
Chen Cang clearly remembers that in Annie’s Plastic Surgery, both Annie and An Jing were students of Gong Daizhen.
Speaking of which, he and Gong Daizhen became acquainted through some friction.
Gong Daizhen has her own unique perspective on the market and medical aesthetics.
She earnestly said, “Teacher, right now, the domestic plastic surgery institutions are mostly following the Korean wave. I think it’s time for us to independently establish our own brands.”
“Whether it’s top-level design or penetrating lower-tier markets, we have great potential to explore!”
At this point, Gong Daizhen suddenly said:
“Recently, Director Xiao mentioned to me that the state has also realized the impracticality of integrating medical aesthetics within hospitals.”
“Starting next year, the state will begin a rigorous review of plastic surgery institutions. By that time… what’s needed is a standardized, market-oriented institution, one that can even have some special diseases covered by medical insurance.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Cang’s face suddenly changed!
Plastic surgery institutions are about to be reformed?
Moreover, some diseases in medical aesthetics will be included under the medical insurance scope!
That’s quite impressive!
Now, plastic surgery institutions are really a mix of good and bad. Since 2010, plastic surgery hospitals have sprung up everywhere with many people trying their hand at it.
But most are performing surgeries without certification!
It’s high time for reform. Actually, it’s not just in fourth- and fifth-tier cities, even in first- and second-tier cities, less than one-third of the personnel in plastic surgery institutions have practice certificates!
These figures are scary.
This is also why there are so many incidents resulting from cosmetic surgery accidents.
So much so that cosmetic surgery has become more of a sales operation than a treatment institution.
Many are just shell companies.
Take an example: Zhang San sees a plastic surgery institution in the province, and he doesn’t even need to understand this industry; he just collaborates with the internal plastic surgeons.
He has some resources and contacts some investment bosses in the surrounding counties and cities, opening a store in the city or county without hiring doctors.
All he needs are the pieces of equipment.
Then, these bosses are responsible for finding clients. During surgeries, Zhang San sends someone down to perform them, taking a cut for each person operated on.
Is it possible for the risks not to be high?
The responsibilities are far from thorough.
Gong Daizhen said, “So, I’m thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to establish a medical aesthetics institution that the common people can trust.”
Chen Cang nodded; the idea is good, and it’s really quite feasible.
First of all, Gong Daizhen has a good reputation, being the first academician in domestic medical aesthetics.
Plus, she is capable, has management and business experience, and a wide network of contacts. If she wants to do it, she really could do a good job.
Chen Cang smiled: “Hmm, I think this idea is good.”
Gong Daizhen said, “I want to invite you to become our technical consultant.”
“I’ve already contacted a lot of capital here, and they are willing to invest in us. Of course… if you can join us, I believe their investment will be even more substantial!”
“I will work hard to convince the other shareholders to secure some dry shares for you! I can’t promise much, but I can guarantee at least ten percent!”
These dry shares are no joke.
Moreover, with such a large chain of medical aesthetics institutions, the investment would certainly be substantial.
Even Gong Daizhen herself might not be able to secure much of a stake for herself.
But!
She’s willing to fight for at least ten percent for Chen Cang.
Because she knows that after the market becomes regulated, core technology will be the greatest competitive advantage.
This will be the case even with opportunities to enter the international market in the future!
Not to mention other things, just the surgery Chen Cang did yesterday, which could optimize the effective rate of 20% skin to the highest, how much is such an optimized treatment plan worth?
It’s hard to say!
To maximize the value of such technology, it must venture into the capital market.
Ten percent of dry shares!
It would be deceitful to say Chen Cang isn’t tempted.
Besides, cosmetic surgery…
Chen Cang has always had a preference for it, as it brings quick earnings.
To be honest, he still enjoys the feeling of earning a million yuan from a single breast augmentation surgery!
That was earned purely!
A million per surgery, payment on one hand, and augmentation on the other.
No risks involved.
Although he handed the money to Zheng Guotan and the others to handle the business.
However…
This type of money involves risks.
And it lacks the thrill of counting money.
Nonetheless, he now has limited energy and can’t personally perform every surgery, and although there are many wealthy people, there aren’t as many willing to spend that much on plastic surgery as one might imagine.
Now, the idea from Gong Daizhen actually makes Chen Cang very excited.
Even though Chen Cang now appears to be a billionaire with assets worth around 2 billion yuan.
However…
He still couldn’t even afford a single courtyard home in the capital.
Research is very costly.
Chen Cang actually has many ideas he wants to turn into products, but he simply doesn’t have that much money.
For instance, the newly acquired stereotactic device.
Currently, Wanhe Pharmaceutical doesn’t have enough capacity to integrate this technology.
The X-pri plan is now being prepared.
After Chen Cang returns from the capital, the first batch of clinical trials is scheduled for 2021.
Meanwhile, the elephant trunk stent technology is currently in the process of gaining certification from various countries’ medical device regulatory authorities.
The entire Wanhe Group is now advancing at full steam.
With this in mind, Chen Cang doesn’t want to place this technology with Wanhe.
The role of the new stereotactic device is something Chen Cang places a lot of importance on.
It is an essential tool for future neurosurgery, and actually, Chen Cang isn’t satisfied with this device; he wants Google’s micro-imaging technology.
When the two are combined, it will certainly become a groundbreaking product.
So, now Chen Cang really needs to settle down!
This settling involves not only consolidating abilities.
It involves consolidating money, resources, and connections!
After stating these points, Gong Daizhen felt a bit uneasy.
He was worried about what Chen Cang might say about her.
After all, not every academician and expert thinks like Gong Daizhen.
At this moment, Chen Cang smiled and said, “Sure!”
“This is a good thing!”
“I’ll support you.”
Upon hearing this, Gong Daizhen was suddenly stunned and looked at Chen Cang in disbelief: “Teacher… I thought you would oppose.”
Chen Cang smiled.
He wouldn’t.
But some people would.
In fact, Chen Cang thinks Ji Jianye is quite impressive.
As an academician, he has the Jianye Group, possesses resources, and has the capability; combining these can turn abilities into productivity.
This society has too many capable people, but they lack power.
