Chapter 114 The Stepping Stone in the Field of Medicine

Liu Xiaodong was initially impatient when he heard his father's words. After all, he had heard similar words too many times in the past twenty years.

but.

When he thought of Su Xin's fame and status, as well as his rich second-generation friends, and the way so many netizens at home and abroad admired Su Xin so much, he felt envious in his heart.

Who wouldn’t envy such a life that seems to be shining brightly?

Thinking about the scene where many people secretly pointed at him and mocked him as a waste, he even envied Su Xin's treatment.

If I could really be half as good as Su Xin...

No, even if I only achieve 10% of my achievements, I can become a successful person in everyone's eyes, rather than an incompetent rich second generation who only relies on my parents.

With a successful case like Su Xin in front of him, Liu Xiaodong didn't resent his father's preaching for the first time and began to have the idea of ​​​​working hard.

He nodded seriously:

"Okay, Dad, I will try my best!"

Seeing his unusual behavior, the three Liu family members all looked at him in surprise.

Liu Guosong asked even more hesitantly:

"Really? You're not deliberately trying to please me just to buy some luxury car, are you?"

Liu Xiaodong's face froze, as if he felt a little embarrassed to be said like this by his father in front of Su Xin, and he immediately said dissatisfied: "Dad, how could I be such a person! I really want to learn from Su Xin, and I want to have my own Achievement."

Liu Guosong still didn't believe it, but he didn't question it anymore. He just said, "Then I will take a closer look at your performance."

Su Xin quickly changed the topic and toasted Liu Xiaodong a glass of wine:

"Brother Xiaodong is so polite. I'm just an ordinary person. There's nothing worth learning from. Let's just communicate with each other when we have time in the future. Come on, Brother Xiaodong, I'll toast you!"

Liu Xiaodong put away the dissatisfaction on his face, put on a bright smile, raised his glass and said:

"Come on, cheers!"

Several people drank and drank together, ending today's lunch in a friendly and pleasant atmosphere.

after dinner.

A few people sat in the living room and chatted for a while, and then Su Xin and Liu Guosong came to the study room to exchange their opinions on their careers.

Su Xin's wealth of knowledge in biomedicine and his profound understanding of biomedical technology shocked Liu Guosong's heart.

Liu Guosong’s overall understanding of the biopharmaceutical industry has also benefited Su Xin a lot.

"Uncle, I've been studying biomedical technology a lot recently, and it's quite complex. I'm a little undecided at the moment. If I want to enter the biomedical field, I don't know where to start?"

Liu Guosong thought seriously for a moment.

Then he said: "There are many promising technologies in the field of biomedicine, but the barriers to entry for most of them are very high. Whether it is qualification review, technical approval, product launch, or public trust, it takes a long time to establish."

"After all, biomedicine belongs to the medical industry and is related to human health and safety. Even if you can develop a top-notch technology, it is not that easy to put it into use."

“If you want to quickly open up the situation, I suggest starting with myopia correction technology.”

"According to statistics from the National Health Commission last year, the total number of people with myopia in Longguo has exceeded 600 million, which is close to half of the country's total population. Among them, the myopia rate among teenagers is particularly serious, and it is increasingly showing a trend of becoming younger, and people start wearing it in elementary school. Glasses abound.”

"The WHO research report shows that the myopia rate among teenagers in Dragon Kingdom ranks first in the world."

"To some extent, myopia has become a national disease of the Dragon Kingdom. Not only is it related to the health of a large number of Chinese people, especially teenagers, but the country's future supply of high-quality soldiers may also become a big problem, thus indirectly affecting national security."

"If non-destructive myopia correction technology can be developed from the biomedical aspect, it will not only benefit the people, but also earn extremely considerable profits."

"Furthermore, this technology is relatively easy to verify the actual effect and whether there are any sequelae, so it is very suitable as a stepping stone in the medical field."

Su Xin nodded thoughtfully:

"It is true that the problem of myopia is getting more and more serious in the Dragon Kingdom. It may be just inconvenient for individuals, but looking at the country, the number of people with myopia, coupled with the increasingly obvious trend of younger people, is indeed quite serious."

Liu Guosong said solemnly:

"According to last year's World Vision Report, the total number of people with myopia in the world is about 2.5 billion. It is predicted that by 2050, the number of people with myopia in the world will reach about 4.9 billion!"

"This is an extremely terrible social problem, and it also means that non-destructive myopia correction technology has extremely huge market prospects."

"If nothing else, due to the widespread and obvious sequelae of current myopia technology, most myopia patients choose to wear glasses."

"The total size of the global glasses market will reach one trillion dragon coins by 2022!"

"If we can master non-destructive myopia correction technology, even if we only capture half of the market, we can bring extremely exaggerated profits."

"If the cost of this technology can be lowered to the point that most people can afford it, it can completely capture the global myopia glasses market."

Su Xin began to think seriously about this direction.

Although he had not paid attention to the problem of myopia before, he also learned a lot about the biology of the eyes while reading biology books.

Now when he talks about myopia correction technology, several feasible solutions immediately come to mind.

After a while, he asked again:

"Uncle, what are the current mainstream myopia correction technologies?"

Liu Guosong explained carefully: "According to technical principles, it can be divided into two types, namely corneal refractive surgery and intraocular refractive surgery."

"The former uses excimer laser or femtosecond laser to cut the corneal stroma layer and change the radius of curvature of the cornea, thereby correcting refractive errors and improving corrected vision."

“The latter is to treat myopia through phakic intraocular lens implantation, etc.”

"Based on the principles of these two technologies, a variety of different myopia correction technologies have been derived. Let alone ordinary people who cannot study clearly, even I, who is half an industry insider, do not understand the specific differences."

"But one thing everyone knows is that these myopia surgeries have safety risks to some extent, and the surgeries are complex and expensive."

"The most important thing is that there are sequelae."

"This is an unavoidable disadvantage of all myopia correction surgeries."

"So, the vast majority of myopic people choose to wear glasses. The richer the people, the more they resist these surgeries."

"Many people say that myopia is irreversible, and no matter what technology, it is impossible to repair myopia without damage."

"But many people in the industry are looking to the future and believe that there is a way to correct vision without damage, and that is to allow the eyeballs to actively adjust and repair themselves from a biological perspective."
