Surgery Godfather-Chapter 620 - 563: Father-In-Law’s Fury, The Wind Rises and The Cloud Surges

Chapter 620: Chapter 563: Father-In-Law’s Fury, The Wind Rises and The Cloud Surges

On the third day of the boycott order, Ruixing still showed no moves.

This was the normal result that Hans wanted: to cut off the supply chain and strike the market. If you cut off their support, they’re left with no way out.

There’s only one way left, and it leads to demise.

No matter how big the corporate giant is, it’s just a company. The main reason why Ruixing’s suppliers obey its orders is due to the weapon of intellectual property. The giant tightly grasps the core technology and has a complete intellectual property system.

In the country, there is almost no real intellectual property in the entire industry chain; they rely on patents authorized by these giants to survive.

Once the giant terminates the patent authorization, these companies can’t survive.

Therefore, it tightly grasps the lifeline of these companies, and all companies dependent on it have no choice but to submit and bow their heads.

This is why a giant can issue a boycott order. If an ordinary company issues a boycott order, who would it boycott? It would only make people laugh.

However, the boycott order also has a weak link, the hospital. The hospital is the market terminal for orthopedic consumables. In other words, any orthopedic consumable must pass through the hospital to be sold and used on patients, otherwise, it cannot generate profit.

For a company, if the product can’t generate profit, it’s just a pile of rubbish.

As the terminal, the hospital has enough choice. It can freely choose from several companies.

In a buyer’s market, it is dozens of times more difficult for a giant to get a hospital to terminate its cooperation with Ruixing than to cut off its supply chain.

Companies are restricted by intellectual property and must obey it, but hospitals don’t have to take it into account.

To separate the hospital from Ruixing, it relies on a complex network of relationships, which is not solid.

But Hans didn’t care because as long as he could ensure that Ruixing had no goods to sell, he could achieve his goal.

No one would buy, he couldn’t do it. If a dozen hospitals decoupled from Ruixing, it would be a heavy blow but not a fatal blow. It’s just an assist.

Hans’ office.

Zhou Mengyun, the sales director for the China region of the giant company, was reporting work. This woman always felt a sense of crisis; she knew that her position would be taken by Gan Fengyi sooner or later.

Now that Hans has assumed the position of President of the Asian region, this sense of crisis is more intense.

"Mr. Hans, I have some news, I don’t know if I should report it to you?" Zhou Mengyun deliberately hesitated.

Hans didn’t like her: "If it’s related to work, say it. If it doesn’t, don’t mention it."

"Of course it’s related to work, and it’s hugely related to our company. It concerns the execution of this boycott order." Zhou Mengyun was not a pushover. Her workplace warfare skills were adept.

"Speak--" Hans was very interested.

Zhou Mengyun expression was serious: "Gan Fengyi, the South China regional manager, is very close to Huang Jiacai of Ruixing!"

"What do you mean?" Hans smirked.

He knew that Zhou Mengyun, as the sales director, would be replaced by Gan Fengyi. This was something Hans had planned in his mind.

"I’m not sure if they’re in a romantic relationship, but I know that her mother fell ill and was transferred from the western region to Nandu for surgery. The whole process was handled by Huang Jiacai, and they often have dinner together." Zhou Mengyun’s tone suggested there was more than what met the eye.

"How do you know?"

How could Zhou Mengyun, who has been in Shanghai all this time, know about Gan Fengyi’s affairs?

"Don’t forget, Ruixing’s headquarters used to be in Shanghai, and only recently it moved to G City in Nandu."

Zhou Mengyun’s words were irrefutable.

Hans felt a chill in his heart, as if something had pierced through it, yet he showed no emotion on his face: "Miss Zhou, in this special period, what is your purpose of saying this? I do not want any internal strife. Unity is the basic requirement I have for you."

Zhou Mengyun wasn’t alarmed: "If it wasn’t a special period, I wouldn’t say these things. It’s precisely because it’s a special period that this will be the biggest loophole in the boycott order."

Hans looked at Zhou Mengyun, hesitating a moment, "Thank you for your information, thank you very much. But for such an important matter, I will investigate and verify it, and I believe Manager Gan will handle the relationship between work and personal life well."

Although he said this, a chill was in Hans’ heart.

He just came back to China, heard about Gan Fengyi’s single status and his passion reignited. However, now this news was like a bucket of ice water poured on his head.

But how could Huang Jiacai from Ruixing, who only had a high school education, attract Gan Fengyi? It seemed unlikely!

Nandu Affiliated Hospital One, office of the dean.

Su Qingyun is signing documents, a pile of files waiting for his signature.

The knocking on the door is urgent.

"Come in!"

Professor Zou pushes half-opened door and rushes into the office, standing in front of Professor Su’s desk.

"What’s wrong? Sit down!"

Professor Zou looks grim, he takes out a formal business letter from Ruixing and hands it to Professor Su.

Professor Su stops flipping through the files, caps his pen, and takes a look at the business letter.

"What is happening? Everything was fine before, why is it suddenly so serious?"

Ruixing Company is responsible for the production of the new spinal external fixation device, Professor Su naturally understands the relationship between this company and Yang Ping.

He also knows the relationship between Huang Jiacai and Yang Ping, otherwise, how could Ruixing enter Affiliated Hospital One and compete with the giant companies?

"I’ve just asked around, and the rumor is that the giant company has issued a ban on Ruixing, cutting off its patent authorization, all suppliers in the industry chain have refused to supply Ruixing, seventeen large hospitals have temporarily suspended or removed Ruixing’s products, including our Provincial Second Hospital, even Fuer and Provincial Hospital are now considering removing Ruixing’s products. I think it mostly has to do with the spinal external fixation device. I heard that Johnson & Johnson wanted to acquire Ruixing, but Ruixing refused, which upset Johnson & Johnson, who then issued the ban, intending to drive it out of the market."

This is a big deal. Even though Professor Zou says this information is a "rumor," he has already confirmed it through numerous channels.

"Is this information reliable?" Professor Su needs to confirm.

Even with Professor Zou’s words, he couldn’t fully believe them. It’s often said that partial belief leads to confusion.

"Absolutely reliable. The person who organized this ban is an American-born Chinese man named Hans. He has a vicious modus operandi. He has reportedly used similar tactics to drive several other companies out of business, then economically ravage the companies for their new technologies. This strategy has been proved repeatedly successful. This man is very familiar with China, hence the points of his attack are all fatal."

Professor Zou is really anxious now.

If this continues, it would be strange if Ruixing really isn’t driven to bankruptcy. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"There’s more, it is very likely that someone is making covert moves around the spinal external fixation device."

If Professor Su doesn’t intervene at this point, Professor Zou feels that this new technology might die before it could fully develop. As heads of top hospitals, they have expansive connections and extensive experience, allowing them to see issues more profoundly.

Professor Su thinks for a moment, picks up the phone, and dials Yang Ping’s number directly: "Yang Ping, we received the business letter from Ruixing, saying that the company might go bankrupt and that the clinical trials could also be suspended. Are you experiencing any difficulties?"

Yang Ping, who is currently in the operating room, is talking through his Bluetooth headset: "Ruixing is being blacklisted by the giant company. We’re in a dangerous situation, and the spinal external fixation device might not make it!"

"Okay, I understand. Don’t worry. Our clinical trials will continue as planned. Stay in touch."

A question and an answer, a two-sentence conversation between father-in-law and son-in-law.

Combining what Professor Zou said and information from the business letter, the nature of the problem becomes clear.

A ban?

Stealing new technology?

This is too much!

"Damn it---" Professor Su slams his pen onto the table.

Ever since his student days, Zou has been following Professor Su, who has always been gentle and modest. He has never seen him swear before, even at his angriest times, he is always smiling. He has also never seen him throw his pen before.

Professor Zou doesn’t dare to make a sound, and Professor Su doesn’t speak either, as if he’s thinking about something.

Several minutes later, Professor Su says to Professor Zou: "Organize the sequence of events for me and investigate all of the giant company’s products in our hospital. Whether they’re on the shelves, in the declaration process, or just about to be declared, inventory them all. We’ll have a meeting immediately. Inform the heads of the sub-centers in the orthopedics department, Dean Pei who is in charge of medicaments, the department director of devices, also inform President Huang of Ruixing."

At this point, Professor Huang Zhong also hastily arrives at the office.

Professor Zou makes a hand gesture, implying that the boss is angry and not to be disturbed.

Professor Zou leaves the office and begins to gather staff according to Professor Su’s request.

PS: From this Chapter on, the Johnson & Johnson company will be referred to as the giant company. In future appearances, the name will be the giant company. Johnson & Johnson is just a borrowed term in this novel, just as Old Ma’s or Xiao Ma’s Company, they are only symbols, do not take it personally. Also, this novel is purely fictional, please avoid taking it personally. Only today did I learn that I can include such a postscript at the end of each Chapter.
