I can extract side effects

Zhao Xiaojie was clearly prepared for this question. He said cautiously: "Mr. Wei, you are right. I am too stupid to be tricked by them. For the current plan, I have to find another way."

"I thought about it carefully. There are currently two ways that should be able to temporarily solve this problem."

"The first way is that if we don't want to give up the machines and platforms of Illumina, we can buy second-hand gene sequencers from domestic enterprises and institutions. Illumina's market share has always been high, and there are a large number of second-hand stocks in China. It must be able to solve the urgent need."

"The only disadvantage is that the model of the machine will be relatively old, and if the machine breaks down in the future, you still have to find Immana for repairs."

"Now the new machine is stuck in our necks. If the machine breaks down in the future, they will definitely find excuses and refuse to maintain it. Besides, the supply of supporting reagents may also be cut off or the price will increase. In short, there are still great hidden dangers."

Wei Kang praised: "You are right, this is really necessary. Not only can we not buy new machines now, but the old machines will not be easy to repair after they break down. There is also a problem with supporting reagents."

"This method won't work, it can only be regarded as drinking poison to quench thirst."

"What about the second method?"

Zhao Xiaojie seemed to have a plan in mind, and talked eloquently.

"Another way is to choose a domestic machine. Although the technology is not so advanced, it can be used and has all the functions that it should have. At present, several domestic manufacturers are continuously investing in the field of sequencers and have made some good progress. , but so far, only one company has achieved mass production of a clinical-grade gene sequencer."

"This company is called Daxia Zhizao. It currently accounts for 30% of the domestic sequencer market and nearly 3% of the global market. In recent years, Immena has been forced to cut prices continuously, which is considered to have broken the market share of Western companies. It also greatly reduces the procurement costs of medical institutions and enterprises."

"In fact, Daxia Zhizao was forced to take this road just like us. Its parent company, Daxia Group, is the leader in the field of gene sequencing in China. Once very close."

"However, the good times don't last long. Turning your face against a foreigner is really like turning over a book. Seeing that you are awesome and threaten him, I will immediately give you a wave of denial."

"Immina suddenly cut off the supply to Daxia Group. Not only did it refuse to sell new products to China, but it also stopped providing maintenance services for old products. It also raised the price of the matching sequencing reagents to an unbearable price. The posture of being fattened to be slaughtered."

He gritted his teeth and said, "This is exactly the same as the method used to deal with us."

"This is an old trick of Western companies. They have done this kind of dirty trick not once or twice. They are simply despicable and shameless, with the true nature of robbers."

"In short, this supply cutoff is a head-on blow to Daxia Group."

"The reason for engaging them is also very simple. Relying on the domestic market, Daxia Group has almost become the world's largest gene sequencing company, posing a threat to Western companies, so Immena directly chose to cut off their upstream supply."

"Daxia Group also made a decisive decision and quickly made a decision to develop a gene sequencer by itself."

"Since you can't buy it, you can build it yourself. Originally, it would be very difficult to develop a gene sequencer from scratch. But they were lucky. Eight years ago, a gene sequencer company in Eagle Country was on the verge of bankruptcy. They saw the opportunity and made a decisive move. Acquired it, and quickly transferred the core technology to the country.”

"Immina also obstructed the acquisition in every possible way at the time, but Daxia Group tried every means to deal with it."

"In this way, Daxia Group quickly got the key to open the door of the gene sequencer, and Daxia Zhizao was born."

"After the acquisition, they absorbed technology, innovated rapidly, and successfully developed a clinical sequencer that can be put into industrial application, completely ending the monopoly history of Eagle Country Enterprises."

"Later, Daxia Zhizao continued to improve its own technology, enhance product competitiveness, and develop powerful new machines. At the same time, it also achieved breakthroughs in test paper and other consumables."

"This series of breakthroughs, while breaking the foreign monopoly, has also lowered the cost of the sequencing industry, so that the public can enjoy lower-cost genetic testing."

"Daxia Genomics now uses its own sequencer, which is low in cost and fast in speed. For example, pre-pregnancy genetic testing, which is very popular now, is their main C-end business. In addition, on the B-end, many hospitals and institutions are also using it. their machines."

"Moreover, more and more domestic companies are beginning to pour into the track of gene sequencers, and some companies are also following the old path of Daxia Zhizao, acquiring some foreign sequencer companies that are not doing well, and then developing on the basis of core technologies. Renovate and upgrade, and launch a sequencer of its own brand. Anyway, it has potential."

Wei Kang pondered for a moment, and couldn't help wondering: "Isn't the technical threshold for sequencers very high? If they only rely on acquiring foreign companies, the technology they bought doesn't belong to them. Can they make competitive products? "

"And these bankrupt foreign companies are also losers in market competition. They must have some disadvantages in terms of technology."

"The original version can't beat Illumina. If they just acquire some outdated technology, and then only rely on full-scale copying, or make some technical transformations in the details, can they be comparable to Illumina?"

This soul torture, which pointed to the essence of the problem, made Zhao Xiaojie speechless in an instant.

After a while, he smiled wryly and said, "Boss Wei, you've asked this sharp question, and you've overwhelmed me."

"To be honest, I don't know either. I just heard that the domestic machines made by Daxia Zhizhi are not bad, and I can't give a real answer."

"It's ashamed to say that when I purchased the sequencer, I didn't send out a tender to Daxia. This is indeed my fault."

"If you agree to use domestic machines, I will definitely carefully consider their functions and quality, and I will definitely not hold back the R\u0026D department."

Wei Kang chuckled and said: "It's okay, I just asked casually. Daxia Zhizao can occupy 30% of the domestic market share, and it must have certain strength, which should not be underestimated. Although it may be mainly their own Daxia Gene. use, but we can also try."

His voice suddenly became serious: "Remember, we must not let Immener and his like get stuck again."

"Their method now is to withdraw the confession. With their despicability and shamelessness, I can't even think about what method they will use next."

"We can draw a conclusion from the experience of the mobile phone industry and the semiconductor industry."

"Only by supporting domestic sequencers and realizing true autonomy and control can we truly break the monopoly of the West."

"Sanqing is about to start the de-Westernization plan in terms of equipment, production lines, and consumables. It is imperative to realize full localization as soon as possible."

"You have to write a report and make a list of everything that can and cannot be made in China, and show it to me next Friday."

"Also, we need to place an order for a domestic sequencer as soon as possible. The first step of comprehensive localization should start with Daxia Zhizao."

"Allocate a batch of Illumina machines from the R\u0026D department and install them in the State Key Laboratory. The new domestic machines are installed in the R\u0026D department, just for comparison and testing. I want to see whether the domestic and Illumina machines are the same. How big is the difference."

Zhao Xiaojie quickly nodded and said yes, and ended the call.

Wei Kang raised his head and looked at the high night sky, heaved a long sigh, feeling very speechless.

I really didn't expect that these dirty methods would come so early.

You know, Sanqing is only a two-year-old child.

He hasn't done anything yet!

Have you made others feel threatened?

"I just want to simply sell the medicine to the whole world, isn't that okay?"

He couldn't help muttering to himself.
