Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 337 - 321: People Are the Greatest Asset

"Zishan China? Such a big venture capital company, why would they invest in our project?"

Zhao Heng said with some confusion. Although he isn’t in finance, he’s heard of the famous venture capital company, Zishan China.

After all, the projects invested by Zishan China are all big names like Jindong Mall, Alibaba Brother, cockroach gold service, Jindo Finance, Today’s Headlines, Bye-Bye Bike, Hunger Station, Dada Travel, Love Ride Art, Future Auto, New Wolf, 350, The Only Meeting, How Many Fight, Slow Hand, etc.

For a highly specialized medical software like Anesthesia Assistant, though it can be said that once the market is opened, it’s guaranteed to profit, the speed of making money may not be something that a venture capital giant like Zishan China would be interested in.

To be blunt, in the eyes of real capital giants, a specialized medical software like Anesthesia Assistant is trivial and wouldn’t even be considered.

"Maybe they also see the potential in our project. After all, a professional medical software like Anesthesia Assistant, once it breaks into the hospital market, it’s basically a guaranteed profit."

Wang Yaoqing said with great confidence. If the market potential wasn’t so good, he wouldn’t have been so decisive in collaborating with Zhao Heng.

Although the speed of making money after the software is developed isn’t fast, it’s a long-term project, one that can last more than ten years.

Wang Yaoqing couldn’t possibly pass up on such a long-term beneficial project.

"Having someone invest is always a good thing. Besides, Dr. Zhao, Zishan China is probably the most reputable in domestic venture capital. With Zishan China’s investment, when I go out to network with hospitals and secure business, it serves as a great talking point."

Wang Yaoqing smiled happily as he spoke.

Now when he introduces the Anesthesia Assistant project, he can boast that it’s a project Zishan China has invested in. When others hear that even Zishan China, the biggest venture capital company in the country, has invested, they’ll be convinced this project is a surefire profit. These advantages are implicit.

Otherwise, why do so many entrepreneurs strive for investment from big companies and groups?

"Alright, having someone value this project is always a good thing."

Zhao Heng instinctively felt that the specialized medical software he and Wang Yaoqing developed might not easily attract the attention of a venture capital giant like Zishan China. But Zishan China is indeed a behemoth in the venture capital industry, operating in a very standardized manner, so he was reassured.

"Dr. Zhao, with this twenty million, our project’s development speed can be greatly accelerated."

Wang Yaoqing added.

For this project, he had practically used up all his savings. Now with more funding, the development speed will greatly increase. At least he can hire more programmers and engineers, and after the software is developed, there will be funds for more promotion.

Previously, he calculated that once this software hits the market, the usage fee would be at least a hundred thousand. Even if it’s only provided to tertiary hospitals, based on the data released by the Ministry of Health this year, there are 2501 tertiary hospitals nationwide, including 1479 A-level hospitals, 603 B-level hospitals, and 419 undefined tertiary hospitals.

Calculating at ten thousand per hospital, that’s a market of nearly two billion. Of course, the usage rate wouldn’t reach one hundred percent. But even if it’s just fifty percent, it’s still a market of nearly one billion.

A two billion market, Zishan China has invested twenty million, Wang Yaoqing himself invested ten million, totaling thirty million. If they could capture the entire two billion market, the capital return rate would still be quite decent.

However, Zhao Heng thought of the national laboratory led by Professor Li Hongwei, which received ten billion in investment, and that’s a whole different level.

But for a national laboratory to receive ten billion in investment isn’t surprising.

Some national projects, such as the particle collider, which this year, the Institute of High Energy Physics in our country will begin constructing a 100-kilometer-long particle collider with a ten-year lifespan, to date, the world’s largest particle collider, costing 30 billion RMB.

In comparison, the nano and bio laboratory led by Professor Li Hongwei, also national level, receiving only ten billion in investment, is actually considered little.

"Alright, I will sort out the clinical data as soon as possible."

Zhao Heng nodded. As a partner, with Wang Yaoqing so driven, he couldn’t slack off either. Though he has a task for developing siRNA micelles, he can still squeeze in some time to work on the clinical database for Anesthesia Assistant.

Recently, Zhao Heng has been sleeping only about five hours a night. For the average person, five hours of sleep is naturally insufficient, but Zhao Heng has a robust body modified by the system, so five hours of sleep is enough.

"Dr. Zhao, what exactly is the project you are working on with Professor Li Hongwei, can you talk about it?

Of course, if it’s inconvenient, that’s fine."

Wang Yaoqing asked Zhao Heng with great curiosity.

He had heard of Li Hongwei, who is known to be the hottest figure in the biotechnology circle recently. Being able to work on a project with Professor Li Hongwei, Wang Yaoqing couldn’t even imagine the level of technical prowess Zhao Heng possessed.
