Chapter 1281: Chapter 976: Toys Worth Over Ten Million

Surgery was somehow linked to gaming, something neither Director Fang nor Director He had anticipated, especially since Director Fang didn’t play games. He now felt at a distinct disadvantage and couldn’t help feeling panicked, regretting why he hadn’t played games during his school years. Indeed, one only misses the game when the time comes to need it.

Director Fang carefully pondered the conversation he had just had with Yang Ping, feeling as if Professor Yang was hinting that playing "King" was the only way forward, the only way to lay a solid foundation for robotic surgery, whereas playing Tetris was a dead-end, merely a temporary solution when there was no other choice.

He wasn’t inferior to He Xiangjun. If he could play "King," why couldn’t Director Fang? After debating back and forth in his office at the General Surgery Department, Director Fang suddenly remembered that his son liked to play "King." Not long ago, he had severely scolded him for playing games too much. It seemed that it was time to change his perspective. Tonight, Director Fang decided to have a serious talk with his son and let his son guide him in playing "King."

Meanwhile, Director He immediately phoned his graduate student, Xiao Yu, "Tonight, I’m treating you to dinner after work, and then we’ll play ’King’ to rank up."

Having received the call, Xiao Yu was utterly baffled. What was happening? His mentor wanted him to help him rank up? Could this be true? Yet, gaming was only something he did occasionally to destress. Now, what was his mentor’s intention? Xiao Yu couldn’t decipher his mentor’s thoughts, finding him more eccentric by the day.

After completing the surgery on Ou Lianfeng, Yang Ping had also reflected on surgical robots. He gathered his thoughts from the perspective of a chief surgeon and came up with many innovative ideas concerning surgical robots. He then organized these ideas into an article and handed it over to Chen Zhi, an engineer at Ruixing Medical.

As of now, Ruixing’s surgical robots hadn’t hit the market, still under development, so Yang Ping had no choice but to use other brands of surgical robots. Among these, Da Vinci was the most mature, holding the largest market share. Other brands, whether international or domestic, were still in their infancy, lagging far behind Da Vinci in both technology and market share.

Robotic surgery was acknowledged as the future direction of surgery, a consensus within the surgical community, so mastery of robotic surgery was essential. As a more advanced surgical tool, many operations that were challenging or impossible under traditional methods became much easier with surgical robots.

If traditional surgery could be likened to manual labor, robotic surgery was about to usher in the industrial age of surgery.

The news that Professor Yang’s Surgical Research Institute needed a surgical robot leaked somehow, prompting various surgical robot manufacturers immediately to take action and eagerly contact the Surgical Research Institute at the Sanbo Hospital. They strongly requested to donate a surgical robot to the Institute to support its training program for surgical robots.

It wasn’t that they were especially generous. These companies understood that donating a surgical robot to the Surgical Research Institute meant their surgical robot could possibly become the de facto global standard for new surgeries. This position could consolidate and expand their market share for already dominant brands or allow emerging brands to rise and overtake leading brands.

So, whether a leading or a new brand, they received the news without a moment’s delay, quickly making their way to the Surgical Research Institute, presenting their sincerity.

Thus, only a day after Ou Lianfeng’s surgery, several business managers from robot manufacturers had rushed to the Institute. Everyone was afraid of missing out on this opportunity. The managers were not ordinary ones; they were regional managers who had personally come to show their serious commitment.

Returning from checking the ICU, Yang Ping saw Tang Shun in the doctors’ office surrounded by several men and women discussing something important.

Normally, Tang Shun spent most of his time in the laboratory. What was he doing in the doctors’ office today, and why was he surrounded by a crowd? While Yang Ping was pondering this, Tang Shun saw him and immediately greeted, "Professor, all these people are business managers from surgical robot manufacturers—"

The group around Tang Shun immediately stood up straight and respectfully bowed slightly, saying, "Professor Yang!"

Yang Ping nodded in response and said to Tang Shun with a brief sentence, "You take full charge of this; we have surgeries to attend to."

When it came to business talks, Tang Shun was adept; Song Zimo couldn’t hold a candle to him, so having a capable individual like Tang Shun saved Yang Ping a lot of hassle.

The business managers were very proactive. They asked Tang Shun to show them the room where the surgical robot would be set up so they could quickly come up with installation plans. Each company was determined to secure this opportunity.

"Where is the installation room? Let’s see the room first; the machines will be delivered at the fastest speed."

Manager Wang from Da Vinci’s surgical robots was in a hurry because such large items weren’t readily available off-the-shelf but required pre-ordering. Depending on the nature of the order, it could take several months to over a year to receive the goods.

However, Manager Wang had a significant advantage in that he could set up immediately. He had contacted the headquarters, and coincidentally, a hospital in the area had ordered a machine that was due to arrive in a few days. He requested the headquarters to reroute this machine to him to give to Professor Yang at Sanbo Hospital. The headquarters approved immediately and expressed their full cooperation.

"Doctor Tang, it’s for training purposes, right?" another manager, Manager Cao, asked.

"Yes, Professor Yang said to use it as a teaching tool for the department’s doctors," Tang Shun explained.

Manager Cao immediately nodded, "We are a domestic brand and currently the best domestic surgical robot. It’s not inferior to major international brands. Supporting domestic products, we not only provide the surgical robot but also offer long-term, unlimited free supply of supporting robotic arm equipment, ensuring that your training can proceed smoothly."

Hearing Manager Cao play the patriotism card, another female manager said, "Although they are a domestic brand, actually, their core parts are all imported, just assembled machines with no real advantage. Although we are a newer brand, our innovative design approaches make our performance superior to Da Vinci’s. Moreover, we handle your renovation by helping you set up a world-class training center based on our company’s standards. Rest assured, we impose no additional conditions, and of course, we also provide training with robotic arms and other associated equipment."

This manager, Mo, was a beautiful woman, delicately beautiful with an elegant demeanor and a tall, graceful figure, well-defined. The perfume she wore was also very tasteful; she tried to stay close to Tang Shun.

Seeing this, the other male managers internally groaned. They had rushed out too hastily and clearly miscalculated, so they immediately sent secretive WeChat messages to urgently call the top beauties from their company. They absolutely could not lose here.

"One unit is not enough; there are so many people in your department, at least two, and if there’s space, several wouldn’t be a problem," Manager Cao of the domestic brand immediately threw out a bigger commitment.

Offering multiple units made the other brands hesitant and a bit panicked; they had not planned for this as they had only prepared for a single-unit plan.

Tang Shun led everyone upstairs to see the room prepared for the surgical robots, finally reaching the destination surrounded by the crowd.

"We can dispatch engineers to stay onsite 24 hours, offering round-the-clock technical support to assist with the training. Any problems with the machines can be urgently fixed. After all, it’s for training. Everyone is unfamiliar with the machines and might not handle them with care, so minor issues are likely," a manager from another brand immediately said.

"Do you still have a shortfall of robots in clinical applications? We can include them in this shipment. Doctor Tang, name a number, I can make that decision," Manager Cao said, having arrived with high-level authorization from the domestic brand.

"I think this entire floor can be transformed into a surgical robot training center. Installing several is no problem," Manager Cao casually remarked upon scanning the floor.

"If it’s for training, our robots are the best. They are very user-friendly by design, perfect for training purposes. If you need other services, we fully support you, all free of charge," Manager Mo trying to stay close to Tang Shun, spoke while edging closer to him, presenting her advantages in full display.

"Doctor Tang, give a junior a chance. I’ve just joined the job and have no performance metrics yet. Although this machine is provided for free, it counts as my performance. If I don’t have any performance, I might lose my job," Manager Mo said, looking pitifully vulnerable.

My goodness, a miscalculation.

The other male managers were clearly distanced by Tang Shun, and they continuously urged the beauties they had brought in to speed up, not to wait until everything was settled before they arrived.

"Let me see your documents, let’s all sit down."

Tang Shun led everyone around, then found a room to sit down.

Manager Mo immediately offered the documents, not forgetting to stroke her hair and leaned over with her delicate fingers to help Tang Shun flip through the documents.

At this moment, the other male managers were completely unable to approach, letting this female manager take full advantage.

Actually, Tang Shun wanted to see their documents as well, but since Manager Mo was closest to him, he naturally got to see her documents first.
