Chapter 1102 - 1064: Negotiation Framework

Lin Jie's "joint development idea" received unanimous approval from everyone present.Dean Lu of the Capital City Union Hospital nodded in agreement and said, "I very much agree with Expert Lin's idea."

"In the past, our collaborations with foreign companies mostly involved importing their outdated and obsolete technology, taking on their surplus production capacities. At the time, because we were truly lagging behind, we had no other choice."

"Now, our overall level in various aspects has significantly improved."

"Although in the field of high-tech medical equipment, there is still a considerable gap compared to foreign countries, we have the capability to bridge this gap and are also capable of complementing with Morrison Industries."

Wang Yuansen then asked, "Expert Lin, you mentioned Morrison Industries as the first choice for cooperation, does that mean there are alternatives?"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "The alternative is a smart medical equipment company from the United States, Hassor Company, which is the producer of... the Lin Jie Treatment Device. Its major shareholder is Dr. Maxwell from Massachusetts General Hospital."

"However, this company mainly focuses on medical robots, boasting rather advanced technology. Collaborating with them might very likely turn into us simply purchasing their smart medical equipment as a package."

"Therefore, I have made this company our alternative partner."

Everyone let out an understanding "oh."

Wang Yuansen chuckled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Expert Lin not only has extensive connections domestically but also internationally."

"It is foreseeable that, as time progresses, Expert Lin's network of relationships will expand more and more widely, ensuring that our research project will not lack partners."

Lin Jie chuckled lightly, "Please don't place all your hopes on me. I just happen to know some people who coincidentally have some association with the research and development of smart medical systems."

"Moreover, what I'm saying is also just my wishful thinking."

"Whether they agree or not is still uncertain..."

At this moment, the waiter began serving dishes, and everyone transitioned into a mode of eating while discussing.

However, as the topic deepened, the words of the deans became more and more sharp, with discussions showing signs of turning into arguments.

With the strong entry of Langchao Company, coupled with witnessing Lin Jie's rather formidable network of connections, some of the deans had a change of heart.

Initially, they only intended to support the smart medical system casually, but now they saw the immense potential for success in this research project.

With their wisdom, they naturally understood how much benefit this system could bring if successfully developed.

Therefore, they all wanted to expand their influence in the project's research and development to obtain more shares.

Lin Jie observed that the deans suddenly shed their polished manners and turned into verbal confrontations, especially seeing the usually polite Cheng Xingguang rolling up his sleeves and incessantly pounding the table, which left him somewhat astounded.

"Ah Jie, this is how business negotiations are."

An Kexin chuckled as she explained, "Don't be fooled by the back-and-forth harmony at the dinner table. When it comes to the negotiation table, forgetting former cordiality and harshly exchanging curses is commonplace."

"Let me tell you, there have been instances where disputes over a condition on the negotiation table lead to an agreement where both parties decide the winner by force."

Seeing the deans sputtering with spit, Lin Jie also lost his appetite.

He covered his face and said, "How is it that despite being the head of an institution, all holding doctoral degrees, their demeanor resembles street brawlers?"

An Kexin laughed and said, "Such substantial investments of tens of millions, with returns in the hundreds of millions to billions, who can keep calm?"

"The fact that they are so invested in the debate shows they are truly concerned about the project and have sufficient confidence. This is indeed a good thing."

"Oh, how's Nannan's situation?"

Lin Jie sighed lightly and said, "Nannan still needs to wear a knee brace."

"Overall, although the recovery is not perfect, it is quite good."

"Except for avoiding overly strenuous activities, sitting, standing, walking, light jogging, hiking, fitness exercises, and dancing are all fine."

An Kexin held Lin Jie's hand and said, "Nannan being able to recover to this extent is already perfect, plus you've already given your all."

"Ah Jie, let me tell you another good news."

She smiled brightly and said, "The number of orders for the Life Healing Box has exceeded five hundred."

"From the feedback of various hospitals, they are very satisfied with the Life Healing Box's role in caring for severely injured patients."

An Kexin laughed again, "Ah Jie, let me tell you something funny!"

"A chain beauty salon came to the company saying they wanted to order twenty Life Healing Boxes. They claimed that by adding their specially formulated beauty detox solution to the liquid, they can provide full-body skin detoxification and care."

Lin Jie just snorted, "This is likely them using a novel approach to hype a concept and trick customers into spending money."

"Still, the thinking of the beauty salon owner is quite dynamic..."

"Expert Lin... Expert Lin..."

Hearing these shouts, Lin Jie finally noticed that everyone had stopped arguing and was looking at him intently.

Fang Lianggong from Limin Hospital spoke up: "Expert Lin, we've been arguing back and forth, each holding our own opinions, without reaching a conclusion. What do you think about establishing some kind of framework for the cooperation among our many hospitals and other institutions?"

"In this way, we can negotiate within a certain framework, rather than arguing aimlessly as we are doing now."

Lin Jie chuckled and said: "I'm just a doctor; when it comes to stock distribution, project operation, and the like..."

"What could I possibly…"

At this point, he paused, glanced at Nie Chuanyun and Ouyang Zhizhen, who had remained silent throughout the process, and after a brief consideration, said: "President Nie has come with the negotiation team this time."

"The various deans and we have only reached a preliminary intention to cooperate, and the specific details of the cooperation have not yet been determined."

"Judging from the earlier arguments, for our hospitals to agree on a cooperation framework, negotiations might take a long time…"

"You ask me about a framework…"

Lin Jie looked at Cheng Xingguang and continued: "I actually do have a not-so-mature idea."

"Since you're asking me, I'll just offer a starting point to stimulate discussion. Let's have a discussion about it."

"My idea is that our several hospitals, as a whole, hold a fifty-one percent stake in this project."

"Regarding the specific allocation of shares among each hospital, my suggestion is that each hospital holds, say, a three or four percent basic stake, based on the amount of annual research funding they pledge."

"Leave twenty to thirty percent of the shares unallocated for now."

"After three to five years, once this research project has developed a self-sustaining capability for growth, we will allocate these twenty to thirty percent shares based on the research achievements and specific contributions made by each hospital."

Lin Jie again turned his gaze to Nie Chuanyun and said: "Langchao Company, as well as Zhengda Pharmaceutical, which has already invested five hundred million, along with Morrison Industries that has yet to be determined, and other investors..."

"Will distribute forty-nine percent of the shares based on your respective investments and contributions…"

As soon as Lin Jie finished speaking, the people at the dining table immediately fell into contemplation.

Nie Chuanyun could not help but glance at Lin Jie in surprise.

This share distribution plan undoubtedly ensures the hospitals' controlling stake.

Given Lin Jie's reputation and status in the medical field, coupled with his role as the project leader and advocate, even if Anlin Hospital makes a minor investment, this controlling power is firmly within his grasp.

Moreover, this plan greatly incentivizes the proactive participation of each hospital.

Judging solely by this plan, anyone who says Lin Jie is merely a world-renowned doctor solely focused on medical research, Nie Chuanyun would definitely dismiss with indignation.

Fighting for controlling power is not Nie Chuanyun's intention.

What he desires is to integrate the intelligent medical system.

Once the research is successful and widely adopted nationwide, all hospitals will use the software and hardware provided by Langchao Company.

Nie Chuanyun was the first to affirm: "I agree with Expert Lin's plan!"

Wang Yuansen glanced sideways at the several deans around him and also nodded: "I agree as well."

"This is the principle of rewarding based on workload; whichever hospital ultimately contributes more should naturally hold the most shares."

Dean Lu snorted lightly and said: "On behalf of Capital City Union Hospital, I also express agreement."

"When it comes to medical research capability, Union Hospital has never shied away."

The deans from Guangshen Baiyun Hospital, Cheng Xingguang, Fang Lianggong, as well as deans from Tongren, Donghua, and other hospitals also expressed their approval of Lin Jie's plan.

Lin Jie smiled and said: "Since that's the case, let's negotiate according to this framework."

"Each will send a negotiation team to start negotiating from tomorrow. If there's going to be arguing, let them do it. Today, let's not discuss this any further; it's important for the deans to maintain a friendly atmosphere."

Lin Jie's words instantly elicited a round of laughter...

After lunch ended, as each prepared for negotiation matters, everyone said their goodbyes and left.

Lin Jie also made a call to Cai Jinqiang, informing him that the research and development of the intelligent medical system will be conducted as a commercial project.

The five hundred million he previously sponsored will be converted into project shares, and he requested him to send a negotiation team to participate in tomorrow's discussions.

After hanging up, Lin Jie apologized and said: "Kexin, I originally thought after the training ended, I could let you relax for a few days. But now, I have to ask you to represent the project in negotiations with Langchao Company and Zhengda Pharmaceutical."

An Kexin interlocked her arm with Lin Jie's, and smiled softly: "Between us, there's no need for such polite words."

"Langchao Company is a renowned international company; their negotiation team is bound to be formidable. It's exhilarating to spar with experts…"

In the afternoon, Lin Jie received a report from Tian Xiangyu.

After nearly half a month of guidance, a section of that Felix's cranial tumor, akin to a tentacle, finally penetrated through the pathway Lin Jie had created…
