A: Jack好久不见,最近好吗?
Jack hǎojiǔbùjiàn, zuìjìn hǎo ma?
Long time no see, Jack, how have you been?
B: 最近还行吧,互联网行业也就那样了。记得你是做医疗方面的是吗?
zuìjìn hái xíng ba, hùliánwǎng hángyè yě jiù nàyàng le. jìde nǐ shì zuò yīliáo fāngmiàn de shìma?
I've been battling on, par for the course in the internet industry. I seem to remember you're in healthcare?
A: 是啊,做了十年的医疗器材。对了,听说你最近在找合作项目?
shìa, zuò le shínián de yīliáo qìcái. duìle, tīngshuō nǐ zuìjìn zài zhǎo hézuò xiàngmù?
Yes, I've been making medical devices for a decade. Oh yes, I heard that you've been looking for cooperative projects lately.
B: 你消息挺灵通的。
nǐ xiāoxi tǐng língtōng de.
You seem to be very much in the loop.
A: 我觉得投资健康医疗领域是不错的选择。你想啊,随着医疗改革的发展,中国的医疗行业将面临更多的发展机遇,这个市场在向一个服务完善的方向过渡。
wǒ juéde tóuzī jiànkāng yīliáo lǐngyù shì bùcuò de xuǎnzé. nǐ xiǎng ā, suízhe yīliáo gǎigé de fāzhǎn, Zhōngguó de yīliáo hángyè jiāng miànlín gèngduō de fāzhǎn jīyù, zhè ge shìchǎng zài xiàng yī gè fúwù wánshàn de fāngxiàng guòdù.
I think that investing in healthcare is a good choice. Think about it, as health reform gathers steam, there will be so much opportunity for development for China's healthcare industry, with the transition towards a service-orientated market.
B: 是啊。而且人们的健康观念也在不断进步,从原来的有病治病转变为预防和治疗并重,这也为健康医疗的发展提供了更广阔的空间。
shì a. érqiě rénmen de jiànkāng guānniàn yě zài bùduàn jìnbù, cóng yuánlái de yǒubìng zhìbìng zhuǎnbiàn wéi yùfáng hé zhìliáo bìngzhòng, zhè yě wèi jiànkāng yīliáo de fāzhǎn tígōng le gèng guǎngkuò de kōngjiān.
Yes. People's awareness of health is continually advancing, from the original notion of getting treated for an illness when you get it, there's been a move towards treating preventative medicine and treatment with equal weight, which has provided more room for the development of health treatments.
A: 我是搞医药的,你是搞互联网的。我们要整合现有的资源。互联网对整个医疗行业的改革是必然的趋势。传统的医疗保健机构工作效率非常低,浪费了大量的时间和成本。
wǒ shì gǎo yīyào de, nǐ shì gǎo hùliánwǎng de. wǒmen yào zhěnghé xiànyǒu de zīyuán. hùliánwǎng duì zhěnggè yīliáo hángyè de gǎigé shì bìrán de qūshì. chuántǒng de yīliáo bǎojiàn jīgòu gōngzuò xiàolǜ fēicháng dī, làngfèi le dàliàng de shíjiān hé chéngběn.
I'm in pharmaceuticals and you work in the internet sector. We should pool our resources. Use of the internet in the reform of the healthcare industry is an inevitable trend. Traditional healthcare bodies are very inefficient and they waste a lot of time and money.
B: 我们可以考虑做一个手机APP,通过移动互联方式改变排队就医的问题。比如说开发一个产品,能实现线上挂号、缴费、查看检查报告等等功能。
wǒmen kěyǐ kǎolǜ zuò yī gè shǒujī APP, tōngguò Yídòng hùlián fāngshì gǎibiàn páiduì jiùyī de wèntí. bǐrúshuō kāifā yī gè chǎnpǐn, néng shíxiàn xiànshàng guàhào、 jiǎofèi、 chákàn jiǎnchá bàogào děngdeng gōngnéng.
We could think about making a mobile app, using mobile internet to resolve the issue of having to line up at the doctor's office. For example we could develop a product that could make an appointment online as well as allowing people to pay fees and see the results of the health checks online.
A: 这个主意不错!
zhège zhǔyi bùcuò!
That's a good idea!
B: 嗯,不过我们需要和医院达成合作意向,因为需要将医院的系统接入我们的产品。
ng4, bùguò wǒmen xūyào hé yīyuàn dáchéng hézuò yìxiàng, yīnwèi xūyào jiāng yīyuàn de xìtǒng jiērù wǒmen de chǎnpǐn.
Yes, but we'd have to get the hospitals to agree to it, because we'd have to connect the hospital system to our product.
A: 这个我来想办法,毕竟我在医药行业待了这么多年,还是有点关系的。
zhège wǒ lái xiǎng bànfǎ, bìjìng wǒ zài yīyào hángyè dài le zhème duō nián, háishì yǒudiǎnr guānxi de.
I can deal with that, given that I've been in the pharmaceuticals industry for so many years, I have a few contacts.
B: 好,那我就负责产品和吸引客户。
hǎo, nà wǒ jiù fùzé chǎnpǐn hé xīyǐn kèhù.
OK, then I'll take responsibility for the product and for attracting users to register.
