Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 907 Recommended Equipment!

When Vice President Xue heard Wu Aiguo's reminder and thought about the funds they currently had, he immediately asked Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! According to this purchase list, if we want to purchase these equipment, how much money do we need?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Vice President Xue's question, he roughly calculated it in his mind and answered seriously: "According to the equipment on this list, if you want to purchase all of them, you will need to prepare at least hundreds of millions of funds."

When Vice President Xue heard the amount of funds Wu Aiguo reported, he was stunned for a moment and quickly asked Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! The equipment you purchased for the Ministry of Industry is not expensive. Why does the equipment we need cost so much money?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Vice President Xue's question, he replied seriously, "Vice President Xue! Medical equipment is all precision instruments, which is very different from industrial equipment. Naturally, the price is very expensive."

"Moreover, some of the equipment you purchased are already obsolete overseas. I personally do not recommend that you spend a lot of money to purchase these obsolete medical devices."

"Director Wu! What did you say? Some of the equipment in our list are medical devices that have been eliminated abroad, and you can help us purchase more advanced equipment. Is this true?" Vice President Xue, who had just been having a headache about purchasing funds, showed an incredible expression on his face when he heard the news Wu Aiguo told him, and hurried to confirm the news with Wu Aiguo.

When Wu Aiguo heard Vice President Xue's question, he nodded affirmatively and replied, "Vice President Xue! This is absolutely true. There is a heart rate monitor abroad that can monitor the patient's heart rate and blood pressure 24 hours a day, and assist doctors in making preliminary diagnoses. It is very accurate and reliable."

When Guo Hua heard the heartbeat monitor Wu Aiguo introduced, his eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly asked Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! How much does a heartbeat monitor like the one you just mentioned cost?"

After hearing Guo Hua's introduction, Wu Aiguo immediately introduced it to Guo Hua: "Director Guo! This heart monitor costs 1,300 yuan. I suggest you purchase 10 units first to test the results, and then decide whether to continue purchasing."

When Guo Hua heard the price Wu Aiguo quoted, he nodded subconsciously and quickly said to Vice President Xue, "President Xue! I think we can buy a few heart monitors that Director Wu suggested and try them out. If they work well, we can increase the purchase quantity later."

When Vice President Xue learned about the use of the heart monitor, he immediately thought of the elderly people living in the main hospital and made the decision, "We will purchase 30 of these heart monitors, 20 for the main hospital, and two for each of the other hospitals."

Vice President Xue said this and turned to Wu Aiguo and asked, "Director Wu! Can you purchase more advanced equipment for that human imaging scanner?"

Wu Aiguo nodded affirmatively when he heard Vice President Xue's question and replied, "Yes! But it's very expensive. One unit costs at least tens of millions. This kind of human imaging scanner can not only scan human bones, but also scan tumors, vascular lesions, trauma and infection in the human body."

"My goodness! It can detect tumors and vascular lesions in the human body through scanning. What kind of equipment is this? It is so advanced." After hearing what Wu Aiguo introduced, Liang Dehua couldn't help but sigh and asked Wu Aiguo quickly.

CT was first proposed by American physicist Allen Cormack in 1963, which showed that different tissues have different X-ray transmittances. However, it was not invented until 1971. Wu Aiguo planned to bring out CT in advance because he had Wang Zhe's endorsement, which was considered a contribution to China's medical industry.

Wu Aiguo heard Liang Dehua's sigh and smiled as he introduced to Liang Dehua: "Dad! The device I'm talking about is invented based on the theory of differences in X-ray transmittance between different tissues. As early as 63, American physicists had already proposed this concept."

"This equipment can be used for brain examinations, as well as examinations of various parts of the body. The only drawback is that X-rays have a certain amount of radiation exposure, so it is necessary to be especially cautious for sensitive groups such as pregnant women and children."

After hearing what Wu Aiguo said, Liang Dehua immediately asked him, "Aiguo! How much does the cheapest unit of the equipment you just mentioned cost? If the price is right, our People's Hospital will buy one even if we have to sell everything we have."

When Wu Aiguo heard Liang Dehua's question, considering that there were other people present, he did not answer Liang Dehua's question immediately, but replied with a smile: "Dad! I don't know the lowest price. I need to contact foreign countries before I can give a specific quotation."

Vice President Xue heard the conversation between Wu Aiguo and Liang Dehua and immediately said to Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! When you contact foreign countries, ask them what the lowest price is. If the price is right, we will purchase a few units."

Wu Aiguo nodded immediately after hearing what Vice President Xue said, and replied, "Yes! Vice President Xue! I understand. When I get in touch with foreign countries, I will ask for you. In addition, I can tell you clearly that this kind of equipment is still under development even in the United States. If we can crack the technology, then our country's medical level can surpass that of the United States in no time."

When Vice President Xue heard what Wu Aiguo said, he showed an incredible expression on his face and quickly asked Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! Are you serious? Even the United States is developing this kind of equipment."

When Wu Aiguo heard what Vice President Xue said and saw the half-believing and half-doubting expressions of the crowd, he did not feel dissatisfied because of the crowd's doubts. Instead, he nodded very affirmatively and replied in a serious tone: "Vice President Xue! To be honest, our suppliers have mastered the most advanced technology in the world. Many of the industrial equipment we have purchased in recent years are not even available in the United States now."

When Vice President Xue heard what Wu Aiguo said, he thought of some rumors he had heard and believed what Wu Aiguo said. He quickly told the secretary beside him, "Xiao Liu! Tell the kitchen staff to serve the food. I want to have a few drinks with Director Wu today."

When the secretary heard Vice President Xue's instructions, he immediately walked out of the private room and notified the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Soon the dishes were brought into the box. After everyone had poured the wine, Vice President Xue was the first to raise his glass and said to everyone with a smile: "Comrades, let's toast to Director Wu with this first glass of wine tonight!"
