Chapter 565: Stopped Buying One of the Drugs

“Doctor Zhou, do take a look. These are the conferences that our company have been sponsoring lately.” Gao ng retrieved a box filled with pamphlets and laid the pamphlets out in front of Doctor Zhou. He then introduced them one by one. “The next conference in Yun Hua City will be held next month. But it’s a cardiology conference, so it might not be suitable.”

“A conference selling stents isn’t suitable indeed.” Like many other doctors, Doctor Zhou had always felt that those specializing in interventional cardiology get to earn a lot even though they did not actually do much work. And stents were very often used in a manner where the surgeons did not adhere to standards when they gave them to patients.

Gao ng did not refute what Doctor Zhou said. He chuckled a few tis and said, “There will be a dical conference focusing on the field of surgery two months later. It’s a conference that promotes the use of laparoscopy in general surgery.”

“Will they be promoting laparoscopes?”

“They’ll mainly be promoting titanium clips and stuff like that,” Gao ng said in a humble tone. “We don’t earn much from selling laparoscopes alone. We need to make a living too, you know.

Doctor Zhou humd in acknowledgent. He thought about it and said, “Ling Ran carries out laparoscopy too, but the only laparoscopy he performs is cholecystectomy. It wouldn’t make an interesting demonstration.”

“Oh, if he wants to carry out a demonstration, this laparoscopy conference wouldn’t be suitable,” Gao ng quickly said. “The slots are already taken up.”

“Did you give them to the doctors from the General Surgery Departnt?” Doctor Zhou snorted. “Why? Do you think that doctors from the Ergency Departnt are inferior to those from the General Surgery Departnt?”

Gao ng imdiately flashed an apologetic smile. ‘If you want to operate at the level of the doctors from the General Surgery Departnt, you would even have to adjust the concentration of the heparin saline you use.’

“Hepatectomy, then. We’ll stick with a hepatectomy conference. Is any coming up soon?”

Gao ng flashed a wan smile. “You have already ntioned that you want a hepatectomy conference. If there were to be one, we would have notified you and tried our best to reserve one of the best seats for Ling Ran. There really isn’t any.”

Doctor Zhou humd in acknowledgent.

He knew that there was not any hepatectomy conference. Gao ng’s company was not the only one not doing any, but other companies did not organize one as well.

This was mainly because hepatectomy was an extrely major surgery. Even though so drugs and dical consumables were used during the process of the surgery, because hepatectomy was not carried out as often as many other surgeries, they would not be able to profit much from it. It was unlike angioplasty, where each case brought them a profit of around 10,000 RMB. And associate chief physicians in the Cardiology Departnt who did well got to perform more than twenty angioplasties a day.

This was why nowadays, in the field of dicine, cardiology and interventional cardiology conferences were held all the ti.

And only dical companies related to liver cancer were interested in holding hepatectomy conferences. It had nothing to do with hepatectomy itself.

“Try finding one,” Doctor Zhou said to Gao ng with a smile, “Departnt Director Huo specifically asked for one, so your company should put in more effort.”

Gao ng opened his mouth a few tis and said carefully, “We are putting in a lot of effort, but we really have no way of finding one.”

“Why don’t you go back and co out with sothing?” Doctor Zhou flashed a smile and said, “From what I can see, you guys have the ability to do so.”

Gao ng had goosebumps all over his body from the complint.

He understood what Doctor Zhou ant. The latter was talking about none other than asking their company to hold a hepatectomy-related conference specifically for Ling Ran. Their company definitely had the capacity to do so, and often organized conferences for the Cardiology Departnt.

However, the Cardiology Departnt brought in a lot of money. It was one of the most profitable departnts to work with, and the cardiology field was one of the most competitive ones. Compared to working with the Cardiology Departnt, working with the Ergency Departnt was a lot less profitable.

Gao ng was very worried that by making such a proposal to his company, he would receive all kinds of criticism.

Gao ng sprinted out of the hospital as soon as the eting ended. Only when he arrived at the parking lot outside the building of Yun Hua Hospital did he stretch comfortably while basking under the sunlight.

He found the conversation just now even harder than drinking alcohol.

“Old Gao?”

A head craned out from behind a Honda Accord which was parked at the corner of the parking lot.

“Old Tang, didn’t you go and walk around?”

“There’s nothing around the hospital.” Old Tang was a few years older than Gao ng. He was not like Gao ng, who would vomit imdiately after drinking fake alcohol. But because his alcohol tolerance was super low, these few years, he was slowly relegated to running errands together with Gao ng even though both of them held high positions.

Gao ng humd in acknowledgent. “Indeed, the hospital is a very complicated place.”

Old Tang saw the look on Gao ng’s face and asked, “Things didn’t go well?”

“Yeah. An attending physician from the Ergency dical Center, Doctor Zhou, wants us to organize a hepatectomy-related conference.” Gao ng pouted.

Old Tang laughed out loud. “This is no small feat. He was kidding, wasn’t he?”

“Apparently, it’s what Old Huo wanted.”

“Oh.” Old Tang imdiately went silent. He did not dare to continue speaking.

A specialized conference took at least a few hundred RMB to organize. And if you wanted it to look good, you would have to spend more than 1,000,000 RMB to organize one.

Besides, if you were to organize this kind of conference, you would have to invite plenty of renowned and not-so-renowned doctors who were involved in the specialization. It was a lot of work, and if the conference was not in line with the marketing plan of the company, the administrative cost involved would be pretty high.

Gao ng furrowed his eyebrows. He had no choice but to take another deep breath before tapping the car door and saying, “Let’s talk about it when we get back. I’m getting chills just by staying in Yun Hua Hospital.”

“The icy cold rain…”

Before Gao ng could enter the car, his phone started ringing.

“Manager Gao, soone from Yun Hua Hospital called us just now to inform us that they no longer need us to supply hormones to them.” The person on the other end yelled anxiously.

Old Tang trembled violently and straightened up. The fact that a hospital told them to stop supplying one of their drugs was no small matter.

“Who did it?”

“Associate Hospital Director Zhou from Yun Hua Hospital.”

“Is he even in a position to do so?” Gao ng was rather angry and anxious.

When a hospital stopped buying one of the drugs supplied by their dical company, loss of revenue was not the only problem. It also ant that the pharmaceutical sales representative involved failed to carry out his task well. Most importantly, since the hospital was no longer getting that drug from their dical company, they would naturally need to get the drug from another company. Because of this, it would be very hard for the pharmaceutical sales representative to maintain a good relationship with the hospital.

Old Tang looked at Gao ng with sympathy.

“Give so ti. I’ll find out what’s going on.” Gao ng ca back to his senses. After he hung up, he said to Old Tang, “Right after my eting with Doctor Zhou ended, I received news that Associate Hospital Director Zhou no longer wants the hospital to get their supply of hormones from us. What’s the relationship between these two incidents?”

“I have no idea, but it’s better if you do as Doctor Zhou said.” Old Tang gave Gao ng a aningful look and continued, “You know, Doctor Zhou was speaking on behalf of Departnt Director Huo.”

Gao ng could not help but tremble violently. “Now that I think about it, even though organizing a conference is quite expensive, the funds have to be channeled sowhere anyway.”

“Yup.”

“It’s relatively hard to organize a hepatectomy conference. But I think it should be manageable if we organize a general surgery conference or hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery conference, and then include hepatectomy as one of the main topics,” Gao ng said after thinking long and hard.

“Yup.”

“I know what to do. Let’s collaborate with another company. We can check if there are any upcoming general surgery conference or hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery conference. We’ll probably be allowed to sponsor one of those conferences. Can you think of any dical company within Changxi Province who’s doing this?” Since Gao ng had already made a decision, he started putting his plan into execution.

Old Tang arched an eyebrow when he heard that. “This makes sense. They just want to be in the spotlight, right? And it doesn’t even have to be the center spot. The remaining spots are also pretty valuable, aren’t they?”

“We’ll try to spend as little money as possible. At the end of the day, we might not even suffer any losses. We have a plan, then. Why don’t you let report things to our boss first. Old Tang, do you mind giving so space?”

Old Tang froze for a mont. He then nodded and got out of the car.

Gao ng locked the car and made a call.

Old Tang got bored after walking around the car a few tis. He then started wandering around the open-air parking lot in front of the building of Yun Hua Hospital.

“It’s the Volkswagen Jetta in front of us, right?”

“Yup.”

“Now that I’m taking a good look at it, the car’s pretty cute.”

Old Tang glanced at the three young won who were beautiful and adorable, and then at the old Volkswagen Jetta in front of them. He suddenly felt that the world was not so bad, and that it did not just revolve around people like Huo Congjun and Ling Ran. There were so beautiful people who did not prioritize money and power, after all.

Old Tang felt that he was at least three tis “cuter” than the tiny Volkswagen Jetta which cost less than a few hundred thousand RMB.

“Hello.” Old Tang could not help but walk forward and greet those young won.

“Hey, Doctor Ling is walking over. Quick, put the letters on his car.” The three beautiful young won put a colorful envelope respectively on the windshield of the car before hopping away like little bunnies.
