Chapter 1100 - 1062: Strategic Partnership
Lin Jie returned to the office and met over ten people led by President Nie Chuanyun and Vice President Ouyang Zhizhen.Due to limited office space, after a brief communication, Lin Jie stayed to discuss with Nie Chuanyun and Ouyang Zhizhen, while the others were taken by Jian Jia to the meeting room on this floor for tea and rest.
Lin Jie scrutinized President Nie in front of him.
He was about thirty-four or thirty-five years old, slightly shorter than Lin Jie, with a square face, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes.
What caught Lin Jie's attention most was Nie Chuanyun's eyes, focused and full of spirit, leaving a deep impression.
"President Nie, I'm delighted to meet you and even more surprised by how young you are!"
Nie Chuanyun was momentarily stunned, then laughed heartily, "Expert Lin, you saying I'm young somehow feels a bit odd to me."
Lin Jie replied earnestly, "President Nie, please don't misunderstand. I mean nothing else!"
"In the field of professional technology, it's not unusual due to talent or hobby to have someone of my age. But as the head of a large company, apart from inheriting the family business, it's rare to see someone as young as President Nie."
"After all, management experience and insight are accumulated over time, and there's no faking that."
Ouyang Zhizhen, with admiration, introduced, "Expert Lin, our President Nie has also worked his way up from the grassroots."
"President Nie first transitioned from a technical position to a management role, then made progress every couple of years with indisputable achievements, eventually appointed as the general manager by the board."
Lin Jie exclaimed, "Impressive, impressive, President Nie, you truly are a management genius."
Nie Chuanyun waved his hand modestly, "Compared to you, Expert Lin, my few achievements really mean nothing."
"Replacing someone like me as a manager would have minimal impact on the company's development, but your position, Expert Lin, is irreplaceable."
Lin Jie chuckled, "President Nie, let's not exchange these complimentary remarks."
"Did you come by convenience this time, or did you specifically come to discuss cooperation?"
Nie Chuanyun straightened up and said, "Expert Lin, we specifically came this time."
"The dozen or so colleagues who came with us are my negotiation team. Expert Lin, I come with the greatest sincerity regarding our cooperation."
"We want to become strategic collaborators in the smart medical system research and development project!"
Lin Jie was taken aback and asked in surprise, "President Nie, did you bring the entire negotiation team?"
Nie Chuanyun nodded with a serious expression, "After Vice President Ouyang proposed cooperation with Expert Lin and reported the relevant information, we haven't contacted you in these past half-month, but we have done quite a lot of work."
"To be honest with you, Expert Lin, over the past half month, our team of over a hundred people conducted in-depth research into domestic and international smart medical projects and into you as the project leader, Expert Lin."
He looked at Ouyang Zhizhen and said, "Yesterday, Vice President Ouyang, responsible for the project research, delivered a detailed report to the company management and the board."
"After an overnight discussion, we determined to deeply participate in the smart medical research project led by you, Expert Lin."
Lin Jie was a bit stunned by the straightforwardness and couldn't help but ask, "President Nie, now that I know your cooperative intention, aren't you worried that I might take the opportunity to lower your interest requirements?"
Nie Chuanyun laughed again, saying, "Expert Lin, I dislike deception in business negotiations."
"Besides, the smart medical research project led by you, Expert Lin, is not something that can be completed in one or two years. Even if we exploit some early benefits at the start of the cooperation, what does it lead to?"
"It would only cause dissatisfaction and targeting from partners, which is not conducive to the smooth operation of the entire project."
"Our goal is cooperative win-win outcomes, achieving results with speed, quality, and cost-effectiveness, pushing the project quickly forward, making it bigger and stronger so each partner can earn greater benefits."
Nie Chuanyun expressed his anticipation, "Expert Lin, I am very much looking forward to seeing the scenario you mentioned."
"That is, in the near future, medium and large hospitals across the country will be using the smart medical system hosted by our Langchao Company servers."
Lin Jie was quite satisfied with Nie Chuanyun's words and further asked, "President Nie, are you so confident about this project?"
"Since you've done detailed research, you must also know that the National Health Commission is not much optimistic about our project, and the support is very limited."
Nie Chuanyun looked into Lin Jie's eyes and slowly said, "Expert Lin, you might not believe it, but the most important reason why I insist on deeply engaging in this research project against many objections is because of you, Expert Lin!"
"Me?"
This made Lin Jie more puzzled and he said, "Before this project achieves predictable results, the initial investment might exceed one or two billion."
"Moreover, the research and development of this smart medical system is not my specialty field. I am merely a surgeon."
"Strictly speaking, I am just a titular supporter of this project."
Nie Chuanyun replied evasively, "Expert Lin, I like to collaborate with successful people."
"These successful people share a certain quality. When they succeed at one thing, the likelihood of succeeding at the next task is also very high."
"You, Expert Lin, are known as the Child of Miracles, and the surgeries you've handled have never failed."
"This is certainly related to your expertise and skills, but I know that no matter how skilled a programmer is, if they lack a rigorous work ethic and a passion for perfection, it's impossible to avoid mistakes."
"Even though the development of an intelligent medical system isn't your area of expertise, the cautious habits and success-driven work style you've developed in your expertise will be transplanted into this work."
"If you didn't have a certain degree of confidence or resources to rely on, I believe, Expert Lin, you wouldn't have initiated this project."
These words made Lin Jie see Nie Chuanyun in a new light.
Indeed, he had quite the skills to be in his current position.
The support in Lin Jie's heart was the data on those ten high-capacity hard drives.
The reason why he vigorously promoted this project was to let that data emerge legitimately and be widely applied.
Of course, if he could take the opportunity to develop the intelligent medical system, it would be all the better.
Even if, due to various factors and difficulties, he ultimately couldn't succeed, just developing a few simple application systems with that vast amount of human data and illness information would be enough to recover the initial investment.
Then he heard Nie Chuanyun continue, "We also value one other thing: Expert Lin, your extensive network and your reputation and influence in the medical field."
"As far as we know, besides the special-grade Binhai University Affiliated Hospital, the Anlin Hospital you lead, and several tertiary hospitals in Binhai City, also want to join in the development of this intelligent medical system..."
"The most renowned special-grade hospitals nationwide, with the strongest research capabilities, like Capital City's Xiehe Hospital, Jingcheng University Affiliated Hospital, the First Military Medical University's Affiliated Hospital, and Guangshen Baiyun Hospital also want to join this research project."
Nie Chuanyun chuckled, "With these hospitals joining, it greatly enhances the research capability of the project and undoubtedly plays a huge role in promoting the project's results nationwide later."
"As for another key point of the project at present, German Morris Industry's 3D Laser Stereoscopic Projector..."
He said meaningfully, "The princess of the Morris Clan, Miss Elenna, is currently under your treatment, Expert Lin."
"Even if for various reasons the collaboration doesn't work out..."
Nie Chuanyun confidently stated, "With the wisdom of our country's people, making up our minds to fully tackle replicating an instrumental device is not a difficult task."
"Moreover, Expert Lin, with your military identity, actively treating many researchers and engineers in the military, gaining support from military research departments isn't a difficult matter."
Lin Jie couldn't help but admire, "President Nie, your understanding of me is truly thorough."
Nie Chuanyun said apologetically, "Please forgive our presumptuousness, Expert Lin. This involves billions of investment and strategic adjustments for the company's development in the next few years. We cannot afford to be careless."
Lin Jie indifferently replied, "No need to apologize; you are just doing what you should do."
He then laughed, "Since you've investigated so meticulously, you must also know that we've also communicated with other supercomputer providers?"
Ouyang Zhizhen took over, smiling, "Know thyself and thine enemy."
"Expert Lin, as far as we know, those companies either rejected your collaboration proposals or only offered financing and loan plans for purchasing supercomputers."
"But none was as bold as our President Nie, wanting to establish a close collaboration with this research project."
Lin Jie stood up, extended his hand, smiling, "It seems, I can only choose to collaborate with you."
Nie Chuanyun also stood up, firmly shook Lin Jie's hand, and happily said, "Expert Lin, I look forward to creating another miracle with you."
"Together, let's pioneer the future of the national intelligent medical system..."
Lin Jie said with a smile, "Creating this future, you are the main force!"
He suddenly remembered the matter Song Zexing and Min Quan mentioned yesterday and said, "Regarding cooperation with German Morris Industry, we are developing an analytical application software as an entry point."
"Currently, the development of this software urgently requires a lot of software testers. I wonder if Langchao Company..."
Nie Chuanyun laughed, "That's easily arranged; we can urgently dispatch some technical staff to support."
"How many do you need, Expert Lin, fifty or one hundred?"
Lin Jie immediately felt the benefits of cooperating with a large company; such human resources could be provided with a mere wave of the hand.
"For these specifics, I'll have Song Zexing and Vice President Ouyang discuss them in detail!"
He glanced at the time and said, "Now, I'll take you to meet with some of the hospital directors to preliminarily discuss the details of the collaboration..."
