Extending the lifespan of an elderly person would bring at least 5 million in value.
At least 5 million in GDP.
And this would be the driving force for the future economic growth of the Z nation. It would be the guarantee of a comprehensive revival and maintenance of prosperity.
This was also the reason why Xie Linze could not wait.
Chen Jin nodded. "Old Ling's analysis is very reasonable. One elderly person would bring at least 5 million in benefits. If it were me, I would also hope that everyone's lifespan would be extended by 50 years, bringing huge benefits.
In this way, the economy will be saved, the consumer market will be saved, and the real estate market will be saved … All the problems will be easily solved. "
Of course, the sooner such a panacea was launched, the better.
Thinking of this, Chen Jin looked at Li Kang in the remote video and said, "Expert Li, with your efficiency, how many elderly people can you complete the life-prolonging treatment in a year? How many years will it take to complete a large sample of a million cases? "
"Uh …"
Li Kang thought for a while and said, "The treatment period for an elderly person is about three months. Our hospital only has more than 3,000 beds. We can only complete the treatment of 12,000 people a year at most. To complete an experiment on a million people, it will take eight to ten years.
But we can expand the scale of the hospital and strive to increase the number of beds to 10,000 within a year and 100,000 within three years.
Even so, we can only complete the treatment of about 500,000 people within three years.
So it is unlikely to complete a large sample of experiments in three years. Five years, at least five years … This cannot be rushed. "
Chen Jin came up with an idea. "If we only do a large sample of 500,000 cases and reduce the number by about half, won't we be able to officially promote it in the fourth year?"
"This can also be done. 500,000 is already quite representative. As long as the higher-ups agree, we can do less than half of the experiments."
After all, performing a life-prolonging treatment would consume at least 100,000 funds. The nature of the experiment also determined that only Xing Hai Technologies could pay for this. The entire process would burn at least tens of billions.
Doing less than 500,000 cases would save more than 50 billion.
It would also save more than a year.
…
The next day.
In the meeting room.
Chen Jin met Xie Linze again and gave his answer. "It is not a problem to launch the life-prolonging medical service within three years, but the sample size has to be cut by half. We can only do 500,000 cases of life-prolonging experiments. If we want to do all of them, we will need five years. "
"500,000? I'll call and ask. "
Xie Linze took out his phone and made a call. After getting a reply, he said to Chen Jin, "Although scientifically speaking, it would be safer to do a million cases, the current situation does not allow it. So, the higher-ups have allowed us to make an exception and only do half of it."
"Okay." Chen Jin nodded.
"Also, I have another question."
"Excuse me."
"How much does the life-prolonging treatment cost? How much does Xing Hai Hospital plan to charge per person? "Xie Linze asked.
"Uh … I haven't thought about it yet, but it shouldn't be less than 500,000. After all, it's 50 years of lifespan, so 10,000 a year isn't too much, right? Xing Hai Technologies has always been a kind company. Our pricing will not exceed the affordability of the average consumer. "
"500,000?"
Xie Linze frowned. "Can you tell me the cost of the treatment? How much does it cost to treat an old person? "
"This is our secret, but since you asked, I'll reveal it a little. I hope you can keep it a secret, Minister." Chen Jin stretched out two of his index fingers and crossed them in the shape of a cross. He said, "More than 100,000 yuan. The current cost of treating each elderly person is more than 100,000 yuan. In the future, when there are more sales, the cost will drop below 100,000 yuan. "
"That's too expensive."
Xie Linze shook his head. "Most elderly people can't afford such a high cost. Let's make it cheaper."
500,000 yuan. Among the hundreds of millions of elderly people in the country who could afford to pay 500,000 yuan, was there even 20% who could afford it?
"Minister Xie, this price is really not expensive. Any house in a first-tier or second-tier city is enough for 10 or 20 elderly people to receive life-prolonging treatment. It's affordable even if the whole family goes for life-prolonging treatment. A house can be exchanged for a few hundred years of life. Then, you can use another few hundred years of life to earn back a house. Isn't this possible? "
"If the housing prices in some places are not high and the house is not enough, you can mortgage your car, borrow money from relatives, get a bank loan, and so on … There are many ways to get money. A mere 500,000 yuan is not a problem for most families."
"The most precious thing in this world is time. Now, at Xing Hai Hospital, time is as cheap as 10,000 yuan a year. After you get the precious time, you can find a job to earn back the money for treatment. I believe it's a piece of cake."
In short, 500,000 yuan per person was really cheap.
"No!"
Xie Linze still shook his head. "It's too expensive. This price is too expensive. Many people can't afford it. The people at the bottom will be very dissatisfied! 300,000 yuan. It can't exceed 300,000 yuan. In the future, when the cost is reduced, you have to lower the price again. You can't reap too much profits. "
"Profits?"
Chen Jin's eyes widened. "Minister Xie, what profits do we have? Xing Hai Hospital has to pay all kinds of taxes, which are the highest among all hospitals. About 35% of our income has to go to the national treasury. The purchase of equipment and the salaries of experts and doctors account for 15%. After deducting the treatment cost of more than 100,000 yuan, even if the treatment cost of each elderly person is 500,000 yuan, Xing Hai Hospital can only earn a little more than 100,000 yuan. How can this be considered 'profits'? "
At best, it was just a small profit but quick turnover.
If the price was set at 300,000 yuan per person, Xing Hai Hospital could only earn 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. The gross profit margin was shocking.
If it were abroad, medical services that could extend life by 50 years would be considered cheap if the price was less than one million yuan. It would not be an exaggeration to ask for 5 or 10 million yuan. Time was priceless. Some people were willing to go bankrupt just to live a few more years, let alone 50 years.
Upon hearing Chen Jin's words.
"Ahem ~"
Xie Linze coughed awkwardly. He could hear the underlying meaning in Chen Jin's words. Chen Jin was complaining that the tax was a little high.
In fact, there was a reason for imposing heavy taxes on Xing Hai Technologies. In recent years, Xing Hai Technologies had been a little out of line. They had invested a huge amount of real money into the desert. They had even created a project worth tens of trillions in the Sahara Desert. This had caused a large amount of hot money to flow out of the country and affected the domestic economic growth. In short, all kinds of irresponsible activities were unbearable.
They could only add more taxes.
However, Xing Hai Technologies quickly took drastic measures.
At that time, the higher-ups were very angry. They immediately launched an anti-monopoly investigation and imposed a small punishment as a warning.
They did not expect Xing Hai Technologies to make another big move immediately.
After a few exchanges, Xie Linze could see Chen Jin's intention. It was to discuss the conditions and the distribution of benefits.
An elderly person could bring at least 5 million yuan in benefits.
There was no doubt that the country would benefit the most from this.
It was not too much for Xing Hai Hospital to earn 300,000 to 500,000 yuan from this.
It was just that not many elderly people could afford it. At most, they could only afford 50% to 60%. It could not bring the maximum benefits.
From the perspective of the country, of course, they hoped that all elderly people could regain their youthful vitality and increase their lifespan by 50 years.
But Xing Hai Technologies wanted to make money and obtain huge profits. This would affect the profits of the country.
After all, Xing Hai Technologies' potential loss was more than 100,000 yuan and the country's potential loss was a few million yuan.
So …
Both of them were silent for a moment. They were brewing solutions in their minds.
Chen Jin suddenly said,
"Director Xie, I have a plan for you to refer to."
"Tax exemption, that's it."
"If the country provides a tax exemption policy for the treatment of prolonging life, then Xing Hai Hospital will only charge 200,000 yuan for the treatment of each elderly person."
"200,000 yuan. This is definitely a price that anyone can afford. After deducting the cost, Xing Hai Technologies can earn at most 100,000 yuan."
"In addition, we will introduce a 'medical insurance plan.' For those elderly people who have pensions, they do not need to pay a penny for the treatment. The state will bear all the costs. The price is that after the treatment, the pension of the elderly will be cancelled or the amount and length of payment will be reduced."
"The state only needs to fork out 200,000 yuan to reduce the burden and increase the labor force."
"This is a very good deal!"
"Moreover, the state is not without profit. 200,000 yuan is only the price for the treatment of the elderly in the Z country. If there are elderly people from abroad who come to the Z country and request to extend their lifespan, the treatment cost will start from at least one million yuan. There is no upper limit."
"For foreign clients, Xing Hai Hospital wants to earn their money. The state can also earn money. For example, the net profit will be split 50-50. After deducting the various costs, Xing Hai Hospital will take half and the state will take the other half. We can earn money together."
"The foreign population is obviously much larger than the Z country. The scale of the market is also larger than the domestic market. If we earn one million yuan from each foreigner, multiplied by 100 million …"
Chen Jin heard an obvious sound of inhalation.
He spread his hands and said, "Director Xie, do you see this? Xing Hai Technologies has taken out a super big piece of cake. The medical service of prolonging life is also only launched in Xing Hai Hospital within the country. We did not go abroad to eat the cake alone. This solves the problem of ultra-aging in the country. I believe that the previous unhappiness should have vanished. Compared to the super cake in front of us, those are just small profits. "
Upon hearing this.
"Hmm …" Xie Linze nodded repeatedly.
His eyes became brighter and brighter.
