Chapter 4 Sharpening the Knife and Chopping Wood
Since he had decided to produce fish skin collagen sutures, Chen Changan's first thing was to record the production method in his mind on the computer.
Actually, it seems that this technology is very cutting-edge and no one can do it all around the world, but the production method is actually quite simple, and the only difficulty is the preparation of chemical agents.
This is like making alloys, like stainless steel. Before it was invented, people could not imagine that when smelting steel, they only need to add a certain amount of chromium and nickel to smel out steel that will not rust.
Similarly, it is actually very simple to extract collagen sutures. Just use protease for enzymatic decomposition, and high school students understand it.
The only difficult thing is how to make the extracted collagen into lines, and it is necessary to ensure that the lines have strong enough tension to not be broken once they are pulled, and their length, thickness and thickness cannot be limited.
Chen Changan mastered a very simple method. When the collagen extracted from the fish skin is decolorized and heavy metals is removed, it only needs to be soaked with a configured mixed chemical preparation. After special chemical cooperation, the collagen liquid can coagulate and fix the body.
Then the solidified collagen is then divided and cut to obtain the finished collagen suture.
Moreover, the tension resistance of this suture is very strong. Even if it is cut into the thinnest size of medical sutures, it can ensure a strong enough tension. After the suture is naturally absorbed by the human body by 50%, it can still maintain more than 70% of the tension resistance, which is enough to persist until the wound heals.
Generally, the resistance to tension is only 55% after one week of suture of natural collagen suture, which is very inferior.
Therefore, the entire production process is not difficult. The cutting part is just a machine that makes general suture threads. It only requires training workers to extract collagen.
Although the configuration of chemical preparations requires talents from biomedical engineering or chemistry to produce them, Ruikang is a large local medical device company in Gusu. Almost all the technicians recruited are graduates from biomedical engineering or medical device engineering, and all have undergraduate and master's students. A simple chemical process can be done.
The chemicals needed are also very easy to buy, and can be purchased by local companies in Gusu, including most of them, including common aldehydes, halogens and some alcohols.
If Chen Changan had these chemicals in his hand now, he could configure them himself, not to mention the company's researchers, it was all small problems.
However, the formula must be kept confidential. In order to ensure that the production method of chemical preparations is not leaked, Chen Changan will divide the specific configuration method into several different processes and into several different groups of assembly line production.
In this way, every employee is exposed to part of the process of making chemical preparations, and they do not know whether it is the intermediate process or the initial process, and the specific allocation amount is not clear. In this way, even if all employees involved in the production are poached together, they have to try in groups for a year and a half before the possibility of restoration is possible.
And such a long time is enough for Chen Changan to make a response plan.
While thinking about these production problems, Chen Changan recorded the specific production methods and chemical formulas on his computer.
"No, if you want to divide the chemical preparation into several different groups, there will be insufficient employees and you will have to recruit people!"
Chen Changan leaned back, leaned on the boss's chair, and carefully recalled the company's employee composition.
There are currently less than twenty researchers in the company, of which 14 are assigned to three factories under the company to be responsible for product quality inspection and maintenance of assembly line equipment.
Only 5 researchers work at the headquarters, but they are responsible for purchasing and inspecting the production consumables in the factory, such as non-woven fabrics for masks, nose bridge strips, threads for making sutures, etc.
All the company's consumables procurement is under their responsibility for the procurement department, and the five people alone are a little overwhelmed.
Therefore, if we want to open a production line for collagen sutures, Chen Changan needs to expand recruitment of some researchers in medical engineering or medical device engineering.
The fastest and most convenient way at present is to participate in the campus recruitment!
As for social recruitment?
Don’t think about it. Although the major in biomedical engineering is not very famous, the employment rate is still quite high.
Now domestic medical companies and some medical IT companies are rushing to recruit, and fresh undergraduates can generally get monthly salary of 8,000 to 12,000 yuan! Generally, they start directly after graduation, and their jobs are very stable and they don’t often change jobs.
If you don’t recruit fresh graduates in this kind of unpopular subject, you can only poach them.
Moreover, the price is usually not low and the efficiency is slow, and the salary expenditure is also a large amount. At least it must be increased by at least 20% on the basis of the original salary, otherwise it will not be able to dig.
Chen Changan is not missing one or two people. He has to recruit at least twenty people at one time!
If 20 people rely solely on poaching, they will have to pay at least 300,000 or 400,000 yuan a month, at least 500,000 yuan a year!
He can't dig it up!
So it's more reliable to go to school to recruit.
Don’t forget, it’s the graduation season now!
There are a lot of autumn recruitment organized by major universities. Chen Changan’s alma mater, South University of Science and Technology, is doing campus recruitment activities this month.
If he had followed the original plan and had a XC tour with his classmates, he would have been preparing to participate in the school's campus recruitment activity!
Calculate the days, which is what happened in the past few days!
Thinking of this, Chen Changan grabbed the inside phone on his desk.
"Hey, Secretary Guan, you call South University of Science and Technology in the name of our Ruikang Biomedical Company and ask them for a location for a campus job fair, yes, this Saturday."
"Well, I will go to recruit people myself at that time. Let me tell you about South China University of Science and Technology. We are expected to recruit twenty employees, all of whom need to be majored in biomedical engineering."
"The salary will be based on the industry average. The three-month internship period will be 4,500 yuan per month. After the transfer to a regular employee, the basic salary will be 8,000 to 10,000 yuan. Meal subsidies, transportation subsidies and housing subsidies will be provided every month, as well as performance bonuses and year-end bonuses!"
"Okay, you can arrange it as soon as possible."
After a phone call, Chen Changan arranged the school recruitment meeting this Saturday.
This is the best thing to be a boss. Just ask the secretary to help him with anything.
Chen Changan has a whole secretary under his command, with an administrative secretary, an assistant secretary, a life secretary, and a secretary-general.
When Chen Changan took over the company, his first thought was that his father was too corrupt and he had to do four of his secretary.
But when he really used it, he realized it.
Chapter completed!
