Chapter 21

"Really, just by analyzing the ECG signals, it can smartly assess the patient's physical condition and even make predictions?" When Zhuo Chuan introduced the functions of his software to the three people again, the young Deputy Engineer Xie jumped up first. As a specially appointed deputy chief engineer of the company, he was technically superior to Chief Engineer Liu.

"This can't be possible. I often read about the latest developments from foreign peers, and even the most advanced ECG monitor manufacturers and health app providers haven't achieved this. There are related research topics, but they are still theoretical. As far as I know, Mr. Zhuo has only five years of development experience, and in the past two years, he has mainly been doing management work. How can he surpass those old engineers who have dedicated their lives to research?" Deputy Engineer Xie looked disbelieving and repeatedly denied it.

"Deputy Engineer Xie, please be polite. Manager Zhuo has been a developer for many years and has a certain level of expertise. He wouldn't say such things without confidence," Xu Yan tapped the table.

"Chief Engineer Liu has over twenty years of R&D experience. Ask him if he has ever heard of such technology." Deputy Engineer Xie felt even more uncomfortable when the beautiful Xu Yan, his fantasy object, spoke up for Zhuo Chuan. He pulled Chief Engineer Liu over to be a witness.

Xu Yan looked at Chief Engineer Liu, hoping the company's veteran could offer some suggestions.

Chief Engineer Liu, a straightforward and hardworking man, had reached his position due to his seniority and good relationships. He was not a strong communicator, especially in such situations. Zhuo Chuan and he had a good relationship, and he couldn't directly deny Zhuo Chuan's achievements, but lying was not his habit.

"The predictive function of that software, I indeed haven't heard of any product in the industry that can provide such a function. However, Manager Zhuo gives me the impression of being a very innovative person. In the past, when we worked together, he always came up with excellent solutions after thorough research. Since he has come to our company to discuss cooperation, I believe he has some confidence." After some thought, Chief Engineer Liu still supported Zhuo Chuan, showing his honesty. A more flexible person would have definitely stood by their own company's colleague, regardless of right or wrong.

"Fine, since Chief Engineer Liu also says so, let's see what Mr. Zhuo has brought. Is it really as impressive as he claims?" Deputy Engineer Xie was still unconvinced. As a technical engineer, although he had the common flaws of young people, he knew the true difficulty of research and development.

Generally, existing technologies can be learned with some time, but unprecedented technologies require enormous human resources, a long time, and significant risks. Few companies in China are willing to invest, and those that can and dare to invest are usually industry leaders.

The software functions Zhuo Chuan described might not sound very impressive, but as an insider, he knew the difficulty. The human body is complex and ever-changing. Even experienced senior doctors can only make rough estimates, such as predicting how many months a patient has left. No one dares to predict specific conditions within a few days. They can only say vague things like the situation is very dangerous and needs attention. Only fortune-tellers would dare to say you will die in a few days. Zhuo Chuan's claim to predict such conditions based solely on ECG signals seemed to him like a gimmick to create fake data and make money.

After Deputy Engineer Xie finished speaking, he stared at Zhuo Chuan, waiting for him to prove it.

Zhuo Chuan had anticipated such skepticism. This was a familiar company with a long-term cooperative relationship. If it were a company that had never heard of him, he might not even be received by the general manager, let alone be kicked out.

After all, the proposal of a top-tier advanced technology, under the current market economy, usually goes through a long period of development and maturation. First, there is theory, then investment, and finally, after many trials and errors, it becomes mature.

In the software field, there are some geniuses who, through their own efforts, have improved certain algorithms and technologies, causing a sensation in the world and making it understandable.

Zhuo Chuan spoke up, looking around at the three people, and said slowly, "Alright, to satisfy Deputy Engineer Xie and to reassure everyone, since your company deals with medical devices and has accumulated a lot of patient data, especially ECG data, I would like you to find some historical patient records with complete ECG data. I can use my software to test and inform you of the subsequent changes in the patient's condition. You can compare this with the historical diagnoses to see the accuracy of my software."

Deputy Engineer Xie felt uneasy when he heard this. The test method proposed by the other party showed a lot of confidence. If it weren't genuine, he wouldn't dare to do this. However, he wasn't truly panicked. He decided to find some complex patient records.

"Good, good, Manager Zhuo seems very confident. I hope you can prove yourself. This would be a great opportunity for our company to have an excellent partner," Xu Yan's eyes lit up. Zhuo Chuan's confidence deeply attracted her. Of course, this attraction was not due to his charm but the potential financial benefits he could bring.

Zhuo Chuan opened his laptop and placed it on the desk.

Deputy Engineer Xie and Chief Engineer Liu went back to the office to find patient records, which would take some time.

Zhuo Chuan started talking to Xu Yan.

"When did Manager Zhuo start working on this software?" Xu Yan asked, although Deputy Engineer Xie had been difficult, this difficulty made her realize the value of the software Zhuo Chuan had brought. If it were real, it would mean her company had an internationally leading product. In the medical device market, especially the international market, being a step ahead means a huge market share and even more reputation.

"Oh, quite early. When I was in college, I started researching signal processing algorithms," to make it more realistic, Zhuo Chuan extended the timeline, which would mean nearly ten years of research.

"That's about ten years. It seems Manager Zhuo has put in a lot of effort," Xu Yan praised, but then her brow furrowed, "But there is still one issue."

"Please go on, Manager Xu."

"If the software provided by Manager Zhuo is indeed effective, and I believe it is," Xu Yan said with a playful tone, crossing her legs, "once it is promoted and publicized, and you are the author of the software, since you just resigned from your old company, if the old company raises objections to the software copyright, it would be difficult to prove. After all, software developed during employment generally belongs to the original company."

Zhuo Chuan nodded. He had thought about this issue, and it was indeed a problem. He had a rough idea of how to solve it, but it was not complete. However, with only two months left, he had brought this incomplete intelligent analysis version not for commercial promotion but to facilitate his collection of the soul power of the dying. As for commercial matters, he would consider them after the duel in the new world.

"This issue is indeed not easy to resolve. I'm sure Manager Xu has some suggestions?" Zhuo Chuan asked, having a vague idea of what she might suggest. Since absorbing the soul power of two people, he not only had a photographic memory but also improved his thinking ability.

"It's actually quite simple. As long as Manager Zhuo sells us the source code, and we keep it confidential, we can claim it as our own development. Your old company would have no grounds for objection, as they wouldn't even think you developed this software," Xu Yan proposed her plan.

Zhuo Chuan smiled. Her words matched his thoughts exactly, confirming that his mind had indeed become sharper. Women are women, no matter how capable, their vision is still short-sighted. The method she proposed could indeed solve the problem, but it was too hasty. He had his own way to handle it and definitely wouldn't sell the source code.
