Chapter 871 -872: Proof of Legendary Class Change (Extra 5 for the Tiger Walking Like a Cat)
Chen Cang hastily stood up, “Mr. Howard, you haven’t finished what you were saying!”
Howard paused in his steps, giving a wry smile, feeling that he didn’t need to say any more…
“Dr. Chen Cang, your mitral valve replacement surgery without stopping the heartbeat was the strongest I’ve ever seen, bar none!”
“Perhaps, with your efforts, our x-pri technology might seem superfluous…”
Howard felt that, after returning this time, he should prepare for bankruptcy and the liquidation of assets.
Chen Cang quickly shook his head; he actually felt that the x-pri technology indeed fell short compared to his own, because under the aid of equipment, any surgery could only reach an average level of performance.
But…
For the domestic situation, this was actually a good thing.
Because cutting-edge surgical techniques could not be popularized, and top doctors were rare!
With so many patients, there needed to be a universally applicable surgical method suitable for the majority of doctors.
And clearly, Chen Cang’s technique of surgery without stopping the heartbeat could not satisfy everyone.
At this point, the x-pri technology could fill that gap.
Chen Cang had been pondering this issue for some time.
Most of the patients who had been staying at the Capital Emergency Center Hospital during this period were wealthy, and many could afford treatment abroad, with a single patch costing 120,000 US dollars!
However, that was not the case for the majority.
They couldn’t even afford 120,000 yuan, let alone 120,000 US dollars for a patch.
Chen Cang had always been thinking about how to help ordinary people undergo such surgeries?
His own capabilities were ultimately limited!

How could the skills of doctors in grassroots hospitals be improved so that they could treat congenital mitral valve defects?
And now, Chen Cang had found the answer!
The x-pri technology could support it!
Firstly, compared to the technique of surgery without stopping the heartbeat, it was much less difficult!
Secondly, the hospital stay was shortened, indirectly reducing medical costs.
Finally, it was universally applicable—if after some time of study, everyone could master it, it would be widely applicable to the majority of patients.
Therefore, Chen Cang smiled and looked at Howard, “Since you’ve come, finish what you have to say before you leave!”
Howard thought for a moment, nodded, and couldn’t help but smile, “I’ve always been the lead in developing the x-pri technology, then later, the Johnson & Johnson Group bought the company…”
Howard told a story, which was about the bet agreement.
After finishing, Howard couldn’t help but say, “I hope to complete the clinical trials of x-pri technology this year and then promote it worldwide.”
Chen Cang nodded, “Right, what’s the price of such a surgery?”
Howard said, “We’ve set it at 60,000 US dollars, of course, the patch has to be chosen and purchased by oneself.”
“Each surgery is for one such device, for one-time use, and after using the suturing device, it will exhaust the equipment inside…”
“It’s like an airbag, the recycling cost is very high!”
Upon hearing 60,000 US dollars, Chen Cang involuntarily shook his head; converted to Chinese yuan, it was more than four hundred thousand—how many families could afford that!
“With such a price, for Chinese people, one could already undergo cardiac surgery without stopping the heartbeat in the capital.”
Howard could not help but shake his head!
Indeed, that was the case.
But, Chen Cang’s words suddenly enlightened him!
Right!
If they can’t do the high-end market, they could go for the mass market, couldn’t they?
Who says Johnson & Johnson must be expensive?
If the x-pri technology could be perfected, matured, and accepted by the general public…
In the future, it could be used for ventricular septal repair, and many other cardiac surgeries.
But now, the most crucial thing was to spread the market.
Guideline expansion needs to be time-bound, just like foreign technology taking three to five years or even longer to reach China, so… China’s technique of surgery without stopping the heartbeat would also take a long time…
With this in mind, the Johnson & Johnson Group could completely set up factories in China, lower the cost of x-pri, and create an affordable surgical tool suitable for the common people, then return to the United States!
First to seize the market, the rest could follow.
Thinking of that, Howard suddenly saw the light!
He was even a bit excited at this moment, “Mr. Chen Cang, if x-pri is reduced to 20,000 US Dollars in China, would you be willing to help make the guideline?”
Chen Cang smiled when he heard this, 140,000 yuan?
Acceptable!
But… Chen Cang was still not satisfied!
Howard looked at Chen Cang and suddenly said, “And, we are willing to sponsor 1,000 x-pri surgical guns for the production of the guideline, and every patient who meets the inclusion criteria will receive free treatment… And additionally, we will pay you a considerable technical consultation fee! Even a stake in technology!”
Chen Cang remained impassive, these were all standard norms for clinical trials.
As for the 1,000 surgical guns?
It was nothing more than expensive patent and R&D fees, how much could they be worth by themselves?
But if it’s a stake in technology…
Chen Cang couldn’t help falling silent.
Howard couldn’t wait and said, “Dr. Chen Cang, what are your requirements?”
Chen Cang slowly said, “If the surgery cost for each patient in China drops below 10,000 US Dollars, that is 70,000 yuan, I am willing to help create the guideline!”
Howard fell silent!
He carefully analyzed a lot, including the market, many figures, even R&D expenses…
“You must guarantee that the guideline will be completed within half a year!”
Chen Cang couldn’t help but smile, “That’s possible!”
Howard looked at Chen Cang, “Next is the issue of your compensation, we won’t do profit sharing or equity anymore, because the price is very low! A fee of one million US Dollars, but the transaction will be completed after the guideline is produced.”
Chen Cang was taken aback, to be honest, somewhat surprised.
One million US Dollars, that’s not a small sum!
“Deal!”
Howard rose to shake hands with Chen Cang, “You are a good doctor!”
“After some time, I will find a legal team to sign a detailed contract with you.”
After Howard left.
Chen Cang suddenly heard the system notification sound:
[Ding! Your actions have been regarded as benevolent and for the public good, completing the mission of a compassionate healer. Congratulations, you have obtained a Legendary Class Change Certificate.]
[Legendary Class Change Certificate: Once the class change mission is triggered, you can activate this certificate to successfully change class! Unlock a new skill tree. Reminder: The Legendary Class Change Certificate can help you gain even more rare surgical and clinical skills, including perfect level, as well as new surgical methods!]
Chen Cang was suddenly stunned!
He didn’t expect to have inadvertently completed the compassionate healer mission!
And… it was such a precious reward!
Having received such a Legendary Class Change Certificate.
Legendary… Legendary…
What is a legend?
Now, Chen Cang was looking forward to the class change mission even more…
When can the class change mission be triggered?
Could it be by choosing Qian Liang’s hepatobiliary surgery?
At this thought, Chen Cang shook his head.
He only had three professions now; he couldn’t waste them.
He needed to consider carefully.
At this moment, Wu Tongpu and Qin Yongyi were looking at Chen Cang; they were at the door. Naturally, they had overheard his conversation with Howard.
Chen Cang’s actions just now… perhaps they really did help those patients in need.
A mitral valve replacement surgery directly dropped to 70,000 yuan; this… perhaps more people could afford it?
For a while, everyone looked at Chen Cang and remained speechless.
This is a doctor!
Chen Cang turned around and looked at them: “Why are you all staring at me?”
The people smiled but didn’t say much more.
…
…
PS: I’ll return to clinical work soon… Showing off is so tiring.
