Chapter 1043: Compared to Chen Cang, Everyone Else is Nothing! (Extra 3 for Alliance Hierarch Huowu Chifeng)
The da Vinci system was not developed solely by ISI Company; it was developed in collaboration with institutions such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a clinical application system.
However, schools abroad are different from those at home; they have shareholders and can be considered businesses.
These prestigious American institutions are also among the most profitable enterprises in the United States. Why do I say this?
Essentially, American college students take on loans to fund their education, and the better the university, the more expensive the tuition!
Moreover, capitalists are clever; to make the tuition seem worthwhile, they ensure the school infrastructure is impressive, including amenities for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, all providing a high-end impression.
Even so, foreign countries are willing to lend to these college students because once they graduate, they have the capacity to repay, especially those from more prestigious schools.
To put it bluntly, these individuals are viewed as "cash crops" from the perspective of capitalism.
From the day you are born, they have your life calculated clearly and planned out precisely.
Therefore, never compare foreign universities with public universities at home, because the difference in tuition might be nearly ten times; you're essentially paying for services with money.
The aim of capitalism is simple, to make money.
This includes the da Vinci system as well!
The growth of America is actually the development of capitalists, whether it was Vanderbilt laying railroads across America, Carnegie laying the steel foundations for modern America, Rockefeller evolving from kerosene to oil, or even Morgan investing in Edison and Tesla to develop electricity...
The US government has always just been an observer.
Really, the value you can contribute to this era determines the wealth you can accumulate.
The emergence of the da Vinci surgical robot changed the traditional surgery industry, but one should never overly glorify a company.
...
Professor Kanet is the chief engineer of da Vinci and a fellow of the Physics Department at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, responsible for the application of the robotic arm.
As a designer and engineer, his heart holds a fantasy towards the robotic operation!
In his eyes, even Jim Lawrence, who might have conducted thousands of da Vinci robotic surgeries, never met Kanet's expectations.
However, after seeing Chen Cang's surgery, Kanet truly became excited.
Regardless of the operation being on a pig, his excitement was palpable as he pointed at Chen Cang and exclaimed, "It's incredible, this man's operation of the da Vinci robot is the most impressive I've ever seen, I guarantee you won't find anyone better!"
"Jim Lawrence is nothing compared to him!"
"Believe me, it's him! We need him."
Seeing the chief engineer so excited, everyone else was somewhat stunned.
Including the vice-president Hillbo who came to observe the evaluation today.
What's gotten into this usually reticent and strange old man today?
Strange… that's right.
But isn't he a bit too excited?
Everyone continued to watch the surgery, every detail of Chen Cang's was handled perfectly, seemingly maximizing the advantages of the robot, and with Chen Cang's precise control, the entire operation was completed smoothly!
The surgery was over!
Everyone applauded; it was truly a spectacular surgery.
The chief person in charge of the evaluation was engineer Kanet, who had been searching for someone, and today he finally found him.
Chen Cang was also very satisfied with the surgery he just performed; speaking to the video on the other side, he said, "My surgery is done, thank you everyone."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Cang saw a man stand up: "No! Professor Chen, thank you. Thank you for showing me the true capabilities of the da Vinci robot; you are the best I've seen, and you've passed the evaluation. We'll make your certificate right now."
"Oh! By the way, I'm Kanet, the chief engineer of the da Vinci robotic arm. We'll meet again, believe me."
Hearing that this nearly sixty-year-old man was chief designer Kanet and praised Chen Cang so highly, the two directors and a student observing also felt quite moved.
Perhaps, this man really is different.
Even Zhao Lixin felt that in the future, he should keep a distance from this Chen Cang; it was somewhat too hurtful.
How do we cope with someone as outstanding as you?
I've studied robotics for many years, and yet I'm not even close to you in one afternoon…
After exchanging a few polite words and getting Chen Cang's contact information, they ended the call.
He Zhiqian looked at Chen Cang helplessly, "Team leader Chen, this is... outrageously shocking!"
Chen Cang smiled and remained silent, but seeing Kanet's reaction, the effect must have been good.
What's next will be refining the consensus and guidelines among experts.
Then, patiently waiting for the good news from the other side.
Chen Cang believed that ISI Company would definitely consider it carefully.
Choosing whether to vote for Jim Lawrence or himself must be very difficult.
Indeed!
At this moment, ISI began a meeting right after the evaluation ended the next day, not many attended, but they were all from the core management.
Vice-president Hillbo played yesterday's surgery video: "This was Chen Cang's surgery."
One director insisted, "Jim Lawrence has been our long-term partner, his recently published guidelines received great feedback; I still stand by choosing Jim Lawrence as our spokesperson."
The others echoed, "Indeed, Jim Lawrence has a much greater impact globally compared to Chen Cang, and being the vice president of the American Medical Association, his international clout is much larger than Chen Cang's."
Hearing what several directors said, Kanet suddenly slammed the table and stood up, "You are truly foolish; you don't understand what the da Vinci robot is, even Jim Lawrence doesn't understand."
"Your vision is too narrow! In terms of understanding da Vinci, Jim Lawrence is far behind Chen Cang!"
"I choose Chen Cang, only Chen Cang can bring out the potential of the da Vinci robot, a point I never saw in Jim Lawrence. Frankly speaking, Chen Cang is irreplaceable, but Jim Lawrence, anyone could replace him!"
"The best person to maximize the capability of our product is the most suitable!"
Hillbo nodded, "I also agree with Kanet's perspective."
At that moment, Hadibude suddenly said, "Actually, if we really need to make a choice, I think choosing Chen Cang is the best option, but… I'm a little worried, will Chen Cang agree to collaborate with us?"
His statement stunned everyone.
Why wouldn't he collaborate?
Looking at the attendees, Hadibude always felt Chen Cang was not so simple; market sensitivity told him Chen Cang might really have other plans.
The chairman looked at the people below and after thinking it over, he said, "Wait a bit longer."
