"How much does a liver transplant cost?" Asked the woman.

"Ten or twenty thousand." Song tingshen said.

"So expensive?" Women were surprised that the monthly salary in this period was only more than 100 yuan at most. What is the concept of 10000 or 20000? The salary for more than ten years.

Of course, they don't know that wages will rise sharply in the next two years to the 1990s. But when wages rise, prices will rise, all the same.

However, one or two thousand ordinary families in this period can't afford it, which is no different from hundreds of thousands in later generations.

"Because liver transplantation requires very high technology, ordinary people can't do it, and the corresponding medical equipment and related drugs are very expensive, as well as hospitalization expenses." Guo Xiang explained.

"What about liver transplantation?" Asked the woman.

"Usually use the mother's liver. Of course, this still needs to be checked to see if it can be used. Most of them use the mother's liver." Song tingshen said, "if the child is small, cutting a quarter of the mother's liver is almost enough, then remove the child's bad liver and transplant the mother's liver into the baby..."

"Why is it so expensive to use my own liver?" Women still don't understand.

"If you use someone else's liver, it's even more expensive, twenty or thirty thousand." Guo Xiang said, and other people's liver can't be used, only corpse liver, it's not so easy. Maybe it can't wait for a few years, but the child can't wait so long.

"Well, I'll go back and ask my family and find a way to raise money..." the woman said timidly. Naturally, she wanted to save the child, but she really didn't have so much money at home.

"All right, come back after you have discussed it." Song tingshen nodded and decided that the patient had to do it at home.

Two days later, the woman and her husband came with the children. They said they had raised 10000 yuan. If they could not see it, they would be hospitalized for surgery, and then they would continue to borrow if they were not enough.

Song tingshen nodded. The initial expenses are enough. Take your time in the future. The hospital does not require a lump sum payment.

For children, most families are more willing to spend money than the elderly. Many people think that the elderly can't live for a few years, and the money is wasted. But children are different. They still have a long life and hope. Even if they smash the pot and sell iron, they have to be cured.

After going through the hospitalization procedures, there is a series of examinations.

The result is that the mother's liver can be used for the child. After a few days of preparation, the operation can begin.

Guo Xiang and an Zehan are a little excited. They haven't had a chance to have a liver transplant since the first time. Although Mr. Song is still the master this time, they can help each other this time.

But this is a baby liver transplantation, which is more difficult. The baby's liver is small, the blood vessels are smaller, and so many arteries and veins have to be anastomosed. Isn't the operation generally large.

Song tingshen did it once and had experience. An Zehan was very nervous for fear that his bad work would drag down his uncle and Guo Xiang.

"Don't be afraid. Mr. Song has experience. He said you can do it as you like. Just do it a few more times." Guo Xiang encouraged an Zehan.

The opportunity is rare, especially liver transplantation, which few people in the country can do.

Now I'll do more with Mr. Song. In the future, he can stand alone and become an excellent surgeon.

"Yes!" Anzehan nodded and knew that his uncle and Guo Xiang would teach themselves unconditionally. He was very lucky and had to study hard.

From cutting off a quarter of the liver from the mother's body to transplanting the baby for seven hours, the three people focused on the whole process, including anesthesiologists and surgical nurses. All of them were very serious and the operation was also very successful.

After the operation, everyone was paralyzed.

But they were also very happy. The operation was successful.

Of course, it also depends on the next care. It is very important for children to be young and not careless at all.

On the other hand, Gu Zhennan arrived in the northeast. The machinery factory is loading and preparing to send offshore pumping equipment to Dongshan province.

Although he is the general manager, he studies technology, so he is going to go there in person. After all, it is also the first production in the offshore pumping unit factory.

This time, Minister Zhang also came to the northeast from the capital.

"How about the oil pumping equipment in your factory this time?" Minister Zhang asked.

"It shouldn't be bad." Gu Zhennan said, "our factory now has its own research institute, which are experts and professors invited by the University of petroleum and college students majoring in machinery in some universities. There is still no problem in technology."

"What do you think of CNOOC development in Dongshan province?" Minister Zhang asked.

Gu Zhennan was a little surprised. Why did he ask himself this?

"I am not a petroleum exploration major. Although I have studied in school, I have no experience and do not understand marine exploration." Gu Zhennan said truthfully.

"But I think you did a good job. The waste oil wells you chose and the oil wells for polymer flooding are not all very good. They look experienced." Zhang smiled.

It's all the credit of his daughter-in-law. Gu Zhennan thought to himself, of course it's hard to say, "that's different from offshore oil fields."

"That also shows that you have vision and technology." Minister Zhang said, "if you were given a team to do offshore oil exploration, would you dare?"

"This..." Gu Zhennan hesitated. He was really not sure. Although he had been self-taught in oil exploration, the ocean and land were different.

"The marine exploration conference over Dongshan happens to be where you want to send machinery. You can also participate in it." Minister Zhang said.

"Can I?" Gu Zhennan asked.

"Of course, you forgot that you also took a stake in our oil group. Although it is not many, it is also an 'independent director'." Minister Zhang smiled.

Gu Zhennan suddenly forgot that he was still an independent director of the oil group. He almost forgot his identity when the group didn't let him go.

"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded. Since minister Zhang said he could go, go.

Before leaving, Gu Zhennan called Guo Xiang, "daughter-in-law, I'm going to Dongshan province right away. I won't be able to find me here at that time. When I arrive, I'll call you again and tell you the new phone there. Don't call the factory."

"Oh!" Guo Xiang nodded.

"By the way, Minister Zhang also came today and told me to attend the offshore oil production conference there. I forgot that I was still an independent director of the group." Gu Zhennan smiled.

"Let you attend the meeting?" Guo Xiang was also a little surprised. "Is it shallow water oil production in Bohai Bay over Dongshan?"

Guo Xiang remembered that in the 1990s, he seemed to have discovered a shallow sea oil field with an annual output of more than 2 million tons in the shallow sea area of the Bohai Sea, which was the largest shallow sea oil field that could be directly developed 2000 years ago.

His former father was a professor at the University of petroleum. At that time, he was very excited when he got the news. He said it many times not only in class, but also at home. There were TV news reports, so Guo Xiang was very impressed.
