On the table.
Eating while talking.
Everyone’s gaze occasionally drifted toward Tang Qing. Previously, they hadn’t realized Tang Qing had accomplished so much. The daily scribblings turned into projects that left them stunned.
What a mind.
Tsk tsk.
Still, our genes must be good.
Father Tang and Mother Tang thought proudly.
While eating.
On one wall of the restaurant.
The host of the News Broadcast revealed an explosive piece of news.
"A message from the Ministry of Health: Following months of intense preparation, the cancer treatment devices purchased from Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group have completed installation and testing. Corresponding medical personnel have also returned from training overseas."
"Starting from the sixth day of the New Year, Beijing Concorde Hospital, Beijing General Hospital (301 Hospital), Beijing University First Hospital, Beijing University People’s Hospital... These six hospitals will begin accepting appointments from cancer patients."
"Tomorrow morning at 8 o’clock, everyone can log onto the Ministry of Health’s appointment website to make reservations. This time, real-name registration is required, and only those who have undergone cancer diagnosis in Level 3 or higher hospitals are eligible for booking."
"Currently, nationwide data of cancer patients from Level 3 or higher hospitals has been synchronized."
"Considering potential data losses, if your diagnosis records cannot be found post-registration, please promptly bring your original examination report to the hospital. If the report is lost, a re-diagnosis can be done at a nearby Level 3 or higher hospital."
"Appointment registration incurs no fees."
"Tonight after 10 o’clock, you can carry out real-name registration on the official website to check your diagnosis information. At 8 o’clock sharp tomorrow morning, the Ministry of Health will officially activate the scheduling function."
"This round of appointments will not prioritize based on time but rather on the severity of each case. Within one hour after opening appointments, treatment times will be sorted accordingly based on this criteria. We appreciate everyone’s understanding."
"..."
The host then spent a full three minutes explaining which individuals and which types of cancer could book an appointment, alternative booking methods besides online, and the Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group’s policy of prioritizing severe cases.
Everyone understood.
And supported it.
Prioritize the dying.
Additionally.
Treatment costs.
Medical loans.
Insurance reimbursement.
Each item was explained in detail.
In the final calculation, overall treatment costs were about the same as those in Myanmar. The difference was that Myanmar accepts global patients while Huaxia temporarily limited treatment to patients with Huaxia residency.
No choice.
Huaxia only has these six hospitals equipped with the devices. The total number of devices together is less than one-fifth of what Myanmar’s first hospital has, and given the size of the population, they can only prioritize their own citizens for now.
Once operational processes stabilize.
And no major issues arise.
Huaxia will gradually expand implementation to Level 3 hospitals in every province. Opening doors to foreign patients can come later. The consumer power driven by Myanmar’s treatment facilities has certainly piqued Huaxia’s interest.
"Dad, when will Province City get it?" Qin Shiqi asked.
Qin Yugang thought for a moment.
Analyzed:
"This year seems unlikely. Strictly speaking, the transcription fluid is still in clinical trials in Huaxia. I’d estimate about a year, and in three years, it should cover one-fifth of the Level 3 hospitals."
"That long?"
"Lives are at stake—there’s no room for carelessness. Plus, do you know how expensive these devices are? Just those six hospitals, along with consumables and training costs, Huaxia has already spent close to RMB 10 billion."
"That expensive?"
Qin Shiqi exclaimed, covering her mouth.
"What did you expect!"
Qin Yugang chuckled bitterly.
On average, each hospital costs about RMB 1.5 billion, and that’s not even accounting for consumables.
How many Level 3 hospitals are there nationwide?
Over 700.
Using this procurement standard.
Spending could exceed RMB 1 trillion. Some people claim Huaxia doesn’t need that many devices—after all, not every patient suffers from cancer. But don’t forget, the devices aren’t just for cancer treatment.
They can also perform surgeries.
Therefore.
In the near future.
The procurement quantity definitely won’t be low. Conservative estimates place total costs between RMB 300 billion and RMB 500 billion, adding consumables to the mix makes the final figure unpredictable. If Huaxia can’t crack the technology, they’ll have to keep buying.
"The devices cost billions, and consumables follow standard modularization; currently, everything has to be imported. I’m just curious—what’s the profit margin for those hospitals?" Qin Yugang said.
"Twenty percent," Tang Kai interjected. He actually knew this detail.
"Twenty? That’s pretty high." Qin Yugang said.
"High?"
Tang Kai shook his head.
"Charging tens of thousands for a single patient would indeed be considered high, but they’re only charging a few thousand. Each patient generates about RMB 10,000 in profit. Think about it—how long will it take to recoup the initial RMB 10 billion investment?"
Upon hearing this.
Qin Yugang did some quick mental math.
RMB 10,000 per patient.
One million patients.
"..."
Curing a million cancer patients, based on the announced reception standards... recovering costs truly seems like a long road. Windfall profits? The Group forcibly drove treatment prices down.
There’s really no room to increase them.
"The Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group has done a genuinely good deed."
"Indeed."
"Brother, why don’t you make your own medical device to beat them?"
Tang Qing rolled his eyes.
"They’ve turned an incurable disease into a treatable one and lowered costs by several times, even dozens of times. They didn’t exploit patients with exorbitant fees of hundreds of thousands—how could you possibly go after a company like that?"
"... I couldn’t."
Qin Shiqi conceded.
This company is earning the profits everyone deems reasonable.
...
The News Broadcast.
As the highest-viewed program nationwide.
In an instant.
The news spread across Huaxia like wildfire. On New Year’s Day, a day the nation celebrates together, the TV announcement made many people happy. Now, they could receive treatment domestically without needing to go abroad.
The costs were comparable.
Medical loans were also available, so within two minutes of the announcement, the Ministry of Health’s official website was flooded with traffic for real-name registration. Seeing confirmed records for themselves or loved ones reassured people.
Those without records weren’t worried either.
As long as treatment was possible, it was good enough.
A quick re-diagnosis would suffice.
Most people weren’t on the brink of death anyway. The real-name registration + confirmed diagnosis system also deterred opportunistic scalpers, although the thought of profiting from domestic treatment appointments had stirred some schemes.
...
On the outskirts of Beijing.
Inside a civilian house.
Xie Wei was having dinner with his family. Since returning from training in Myanmar, he had been focusing on writing internship reports, familiarizing himself with the installed devices, conducting acceptance tests, and so forth.
The results were naturally good.
Acceptance complete.
Payment processed.
This equipment procurement alone cost nearly RMB 8 billion, causing a financial strain on major hospitals. Coupled with the continued need to import consumables, many felt like their hands were tied.
What could they do?
Surpass expectations.
Strive to quickly crack the transcription fluid, along with those medical devices that cost billions. As a trainee, Xie Wei only had three days off for Spring Festival. By the third day, he had to return for final procedure rehearsals.
On the sixth day, patients would officially be received.
After watching the news.
"Xiao Wei, your medical studies were a waste."
"Not a waste."
"With big data diagnostics, why do they even need you? A high school student could manage that. That Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group really isn’t playing fair—they’ve stolen so many jobs."
At the mention of this.
Xie Wei’s uncle became visibly annoyed.
His nephew had worked tirelessly to study medicine, earning a Ph.D. in the field, only to find machines replacing doctors for prescribing drugs and diagnosing patients.
What was this?
Twenty years of hard work wasted?
"That won’t happen. Hospitals will still need doctors, and society will always require professional physicians," Xie Wei replied with a smile. When he first arrived there, he had thought the same way, but later he discovered their standards were harsher than those in Huaxia.
That brought some balance.
