Chapter 582 The artificial heart is on the market, and the price breaks the bottom line
"Follow-up results showed that 51 patients with advanced heart failure had a survival rate of 3% within 100 months after the artificial heart was implanted."

In the spacious and luxurious president's office, Wei Kang carefully browsed the artificial heart clinical experiment report in front of him, with a satisfied smile on his face.

However, as he glanced down, a smile suddenly froze on his face.

"The six-month survival rate is as high as 96%. Uh, why are there two dead?"

"Impossible, such a good product, how could the patient die?"

He quickly scrolled down, and finally found the cause of death of the two patients on the second page.

"Wang, 59 years old, used to be a truck driver. He was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment due to end-stage heart failure. He was transplanted with an artificial heart. The prognosis of the operation was good. He resumed work 4 months later. Due to fatigue driving, he died in a car accident on the highway. Fortunately, he was Driving in the middle of the night, there were no casualties."

When Wei Kang saw the cause of death, the corner of his mouth twitched.

If it weren't for the fact that death is the most important thing, he would have wanted to scold people.

You are an old man who is almost 60 years old. If you don’t drive Didi, you will drive a big truck.

Even if you want to make money, you don't look at your body, and you still run long distances?
That's all, what the hell is driving tired.

Do you think your life is too long?

"Well, anyway, he is running around for a living, so let's treat him as having difficulties and see the next case."

Wei Kang rubbed his eyebrows and looked at the next death case.

Seeing this, he almost jumped up against the case and started yelling.

"Xie, 68 years old, a retiree, a patient with end-stage heart failure, had a good prognosis after transplanting an artificial heart. The patient had long-term alcoholism, and relapsed after surgery. He died of acute liver failure due to alcoholism."

"I'm going, I really don't want to die. It was originally dilated cardiomyopathy caused by long-term alcoholism. The heart failure was sent to the hospital, and an artificial heart was replaced for you. It turned out that you were fine. The scars healed and you forgot the pain. Drinking too much alcohol is simply asking for death."

He was numb all over, and he was completely speechless to this old troublemaker, and really didn't know what to say.

Why doesn't this person know how to be good? I have worked hard to develop an artificial heart, which saved his life. In the end, he gave it away with another stud.

"I won't stop you if you want to die, please don't mess with my data!"

"Nimma, this is the data of 100% survival rate, it's very difficult, okay?"

Wei Kang instantly felt like crying without tears.

If time could be turned back, he would definitely not give these two people any artificial hearts for nothing.

He will give the artificial heart to those who need it more and are more willing to save their lives.

"No wonder some people say that the worst enemy of a doctor is not all kinds of diseases, but disobedient patients. They are absolutely right."

"Some people are like a stubborn donkey whose head has been mature for 500 years. If you tell him to go west, he will go east. Even if you put a knife on his neck, you won't be able to pull him back."

"When you were young, you told him to have a regular schedule, eat less unhealthy food, and stop drinking and smoking. He wouldn't listen. When he was older, you told him to take medicine on time, exercise, and not to die, and he wouldn't listen either."

"What I'm looking for is someone who can do whatever he wants, love to death."

"Maybe this is nature's metabolism."

Wei Kang shook his head, let out a long sigh, and decided not to think about it anymore.

He is a pharmaceutical company, not a Bodhisattva. He only has medicine for curing diseases, and he has no order of re-opening.

You are given a chance to continue your life, and if you don't cherish it, it will be in vain.

However, apart from these two miserable patients, everything else is good news.

"The clinical trial of the artificial heart has been successfully concluded."

"The clinical data of these 51 patients not only meet the 3-month survival rate requirement of more than 80%, but also greatly exceed it."

"The listing application has been submitted, and it should be approved in the next two days."

Thinking of this, Wei Kang couldn't help cheering up.

Then comes another problem, and that is the pricing of the artificial heart.

This is related to product sales and must be taken seriously.

Although Sanqing's artificial heart is very capable, and he is in the position of seeking defeat alone, he also faces a series of competitors.

There are already monopoly manufacturers in the artificial heart market. Although there are various problems, it is not impossible for patients to use them.

Latecomers want to challenge. Not only must the product be strong, but the price must also be affordable, so that users cannot be unattainable.

"Currently, the price of an artificial heart is quite high. An imported one costs 100 million yuan, and a domestically produced ventricular assist device costs at least several hundred thousand yuan, which is not something ordinary people can afford."

"The artificial heart itself is expensive, plus the cost of the transplant operation, it's 80 yuan, which is simply not worth it."

"Even for free organ transplants, the operation fee plus the cost of rejection drugs in the later stage will add up to 60 to [-]."

"These expenses can be reimbursed by medical insurance in some places, but they are not universal."

"Even after reimbursement, the patient's own expenses will be nearly 20."

"It can be seen that no matter what kind of organ, it is very expensive, which also proves the preciousness of life."

"The main difficulty in transplanting organs is scarcity and maintenance costs, which can be supplemented by artificial hearts."

"Sanqing's artificial heart basically doesn't need much money for later maintenance, and the cost of rejection drugs can save a lot, mainly the cost of surgery and the cost of the heart itself."

"Most of the surgery expenses can be reimbursed by medical insurance now. It mainly depends on how much the artificial heart costs."

"The cheaper it is sold, the faster it will be popularized and save millions of heart failure patients."

Wei Kang kept weighing in his heart, trying to figure out the most suitable price.

Organ transplantation seems to be free, but in fact there are unspoken rules, that is, the young and healthy people are generally given priority, while the elderly and people with major underlying diseases are basically excluded.

At the same time, for patients with poor economic conditions, this is also a distant dream.

If a patient wants to obtain a matching organ for transplantation, luck, money, and health are indispensable.

For the same patient, one has viral hepatitis and the other does not, the queue priority of a healthy liver must belong to the latter.

After all, a healthy organ, transplanted into a dilapidated body, will wither quickly.

No one wants to see such a result.

For such patients, only artificial organs can save them.

They have no choice.

After thinking hard for a long time, Wei Kang finally made a difficult decision.

Pressing the psychological bottom line, the listed price is given.

"I can't decide on medical insurance, so I can only give a listing price first, and then discount or do activities depending on the situation."

"29.9, this is the final listing price, and the future price will only be lower, not higher."

"The operating cost of an artificial heart is lower than that of an organ transplant. In addition to medical expenses, intensive care unit, hospitalization and other treatment costs, it is estimated to cost more than one hundred thousand yuan. Fortunately, this part of the cost can be reimbursed."

"In this way, the total cost of the artificial heart should be in the early 30. If the medical insurance can reimburse part of the cost of the organ, even if it is only 30%, the overall price can be lowered to the early 20."

"The proportion of reimbursement may be higher in economically rich areas. If it reaches 50%, the cost can be reduced to 10,000+."

"Combined with support policies for the poor and moderate charitable donations, most patients should be covered."

"Of course, the centralized procurement of medical insurance will definitely lower the price. I am also psychologically prepared for this."

After making a decision, Wei Kang breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly thought of another question.

"How to set prices in overseas markets?"

"It's business as usual, let's set it according to their market price."

"Patients overseas who can afford an artificial heart are either rich or have medical insurance. They certainly don't care about the price, but only about the efficacy."

"Sanqing's artificial heart is a wireless model. When it's overseas, isn't it killing people?"

"There's no need to worry about sales, and let's leave room for competitors to cut prices, lest they jump the wall in a hurry."

He chuckled and continued the overseas high price policy without hesitation.

"With such a good product and such a favorable price, we must hold a press conference to publicize it so that every patient can know the good news."

"By the way, the brain-computer interface project has also made staged progress. Although it hasn't been launched yet, it can be warmed up."

A few days later, the marketing approval of the artificial heart came down.

Sanqing officials also made this news public and announced that they would hold a grand press conference.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens.

"My dear, Sanqing has come up with another artificial heart?"

"Mr. Wei doesn't even have a bottleneck?"

"Everyone can use this thing. Who doesn't have any cardiovascular disease when they are old? When they are seventy or eighty, they may have heart failure or something."

"Upstairs, don't curse me. I'm as healthy as a cow, but my old man is in his early 60s. His heart is really not very good. I decided to pay attention."

"Don't be too happy, artificial hearts are very expensive, much more expensive than free organs for transplantation."

"Hehe, I remember a cross talk actor who had a congenital heart disease, so he installed an artificial heart. It is said that it is the most advanced imported product in the world, and there are 100 million of them."

"Hiss, so it's so expensive, I can't afford it, please leave."

"Are you stupid? Imported goods are of course expensive, but which imported goods are cheaper? We are domestically produced, so it is impossible for them to be so expensive."

"Come on, let's cast a vote to see what price an artificial heart should be in your mind."

A certain big V opened a poll, and people entered curiously, and saw that the votes were divided into five levels: 10, 30, 50, 70, and 100 million.

Netizens burst out laughing instantly.

"Aren't you funny? How could it be less than 50?"

"That's right, there are still 10 and 30. It's simply a fantasy."

"Dream. I bet, Sanqing's minimum will be reduced to 50, and it can't be lowered."

"Who do you look down on? Who doesn't have an annual salary of one million online? Is 50 enough to buy my life?"

"Hehe, 50 yuan is not enough for my car, so everyone's life is so cheap?"

"Upstairs, Brother Fu, don't leave, V me 50 depends on strength."

Netizens were cursing and cast their votes one after another.

70 and 50 are ideal price ranges in the minds of netizens.

As for less than 50, they dare not even think about it.

This is the heart, it can't be cheaper than a luxury car.

Everyone thought so.

Within two days, Sanqing's press conference was broadcast live on major platforms, attracting a large number of onlookers.

Standing on the stage, Wei Kang spoke with great eloquence, throwing out one technical parameter after another of the artificial heart with a calm expression.

Netizens were shocked and offered their knees one after another.

"I'll go, the wireless charging mode, the weight is only 80 grams, it's simply too awesome."

"It makes me want to get one for myself."

"Is this year the first year of Cyberspace?"

"Kneel down. At this moment, I announce that Mr. Wei is officially a god. He is the new god of the cyber age."

"Don't wait until Mr. Wei develops some artificial liver, kidney and lung. A heart alone is not enough."

"I can't even imagine what kind of artificial organs I can create in the future if I create an artificial heart now."

"It would be great if this wireless mode could be used on mobile phones."

"Where are the mobile phone factories that talk about it every day? A few years ago, Dami said that wireless charging has been developed. Now? I can't see a ghost, and let other pharmaceutical companies take the lead."

"To be honest, what shocked me the most was the wireless charging function. Let's not talk about the convenience it brings to artificial heart patients. Let's talk about ourselves. This function is also very urgently needed."

"That's right. I play games every day, and I can't leave my phone. I urgently need a mobile phone that can be charged wirelessly."

"Won't Sanqing consider decentralizing technology?"

"Have you seen it clearly? The wireless charging power of Sanqing is only 5w. Can you bear such a slow charging speed?"

"5w charging head, if the fruit is passed down from generation to generation, everyone will definitely be sprayed to death, but if it is replaced with wireless charging, it will be really fragrant in an instant."

"This is easy, as long as it can be charged uninterrupted, 5w is not unusable."

"The heat dissipation must not explode? It is really born for fever."

"Is this something you should consider? Leave it to the manufacturer to worry about it, and you just have to prepare the money."

"If wireless charging is really mass-produced, all I can say is awesome, tell him to shut up and take the money away immediately. I don't want to wait for a moment."

Netizens chattered about it.

There are also some anxious family members, whose family members all have heart diseases, and are eagerly waiting for the announcement of the price.

"What's the price? How much?"

"God bless, I hope it's not too expensive."

"My father waited for eight years, but he couldn't wait for a matching heart. He was already desperate. Unexpectedly, Sanqing had an artificial heart. Now he is finally saved."

"Don't talk about the technical parameters, Mr. Wei. I know you are awesome, so just jump to the price."

It didn't take long before they finally got the price.

The moment Wei Kang waved his hand, the price was announced on the screen.

The entire Huaxia Internet is boiling.

"29.9? I'm not mistaken." A family member rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and lost his voice when he saw the number.

"Ah, I can't do it anymore, get me the medicine quickly."

A patient saw this number in front of the screen, his face was deformed with excitement, he suddenly clutched his chest, leaned on the sofa, and fell down slowly.

As for other netizens, they frantically sent barrage.

"Crazy, what is this not doing charity?"

"I've always had a question, does Mr. Wei have a grudge against Qian?"

"I knew that Mr. Wei has a bodhisattva heart. He couldn't bear to see us poor people suffer so much. That's why he was so generous and set such a low price."

"Not 99, not 59, just 29.9, a heart to take home."

"The word awesome, I only say it once."

"Sanqing, hurry up and develop other artificial organs. Let me calculate how much it will cost to replace the whole body."

"Weakly ask, can this be covered by medical insurance?"

"How could it be so fast when it was just listed, and it would have to wait for three to five years."

"People say they don't make money, but you really want to make them not make money."

Amidst the noise of the Internet.

The artificial heart manufacturers all looked pale, as if mourning.

"This is the end of the day, except for price cuts, there is only bankruptcy!"

They wailed one by one, and quickly made a decision in their hearts.

At the same time, manufacturers in the consumer electronics industry also paid attention to this conference in the ubiquitous news.

In addition to mobile phone manufacturers such as Juwei and Rice, there are also some manufacturers of small electronic products.

They all brightened their eyes and noticed this unique wireless charging function.

"The 5w wireless charging function, in addition to the artificial heart, it seems that our products can also be used."
