During dinner, Li Shiqiang excitedly told his wife about what he was about to do. He does not need to worry about the issue of setting up the hospital. He only needs to purchase the most advanced dical equipnt which was not available in China. He also needs to hire so specialists and professors for the hospital.
Feng Yu told Li Shiqiang that Fu Guangzheng could help to purchase the dical equipnt. The Fu family does not only have sales distribution channels. They also have avenues to get all sort of goods. Although the Fu family does not do dical equipnt business, they could still contact the dical equipnt companies in the US and Europe.
It was a pity that the Soviet Union does not have any dical equipnt companies and Feng Yu could not take advantage of it. Now, the forr Soviet Union countries, like Russia, were investing in their basic infrastructures like education, culture, and health. These countries no longer have cheap 2nd hand equipnt for sales.
Feng Yu discussed with Li Shiqiang and decided that they would buy the most advanced brain-related dical equipnt. No matter who was it, as long as the illness concerns brains, they would be willing to spend a lot of money. This was especially so for those governnt officials and the wealthy people.
Next, they will be getting the ultrasound machines. The hospital will be busy just by telling the parents about the sex of the unborn babies. Of course, in another 2 years, this would be banned. But every policy will have loopholes. At that ti, when doing the checks for pregnant won, the doctor can tell the won: “Look, this is your baby’s head, this is the hand, and this is the penis.” The mother would know that the baby in her womb is a boy. If the doctor did not ntion about the penis, that ans the baby is a girl.
In conclusion, they just need to buy costly and rare equipnt for the hospital. They would not need other ordinary equipnt as other governnt hospitals were also equipped with that equipnt. They cannot use this equipnt as a selling point for their hospital.
Also, there was the issue of selling dication. This was not those common dications. Bing City also have a huge pharmaceutical factory. The profits for the common dications were too low.
Feng Yu wanted to sell those health supplents dications or health products. There were lots of profits in this industry. Those that were willing to buy these products or dicines were all wealthy people. Even if these products were slightly effective, these people were willing to buy.
Of course, these were all that they planned. The most important thing was that the City Governnt gave them approval to convert the Machinery Company’s hospital into a private shareholding hospital.
Private hospitals had already appeared since the reforms started. But that private hospital was mostly located along the coastal regions. At first, there were private clinics. Then a few people decided to pool their money together to set up a private specialist hospital. After that, private general hospitals appeared.
Just like the problems Li Shiqiang was facing, it was easy for doctors from the governnt hospitals to set up private clinics.
But if they were to set up a specialist hospital with more than 10 beds, they would face strict restrictions. It was because governnt hospitals were not making money. In fact, these governnt hospitals still needed financial assistance from the governnt. If there were more private hospitals, then those governnt hospitals will face more losses and needed more financial aid from the governnt!
Because of this reason, the Health Ministry made it hard for private hospitals to get approvals. This was also to protect the interest of the governnt hospitals.
So policies allow private hospitals. That ans the Machinery Company’s hospital can be converted into a shareholding private hospital.
But when Feng Yu arrived at the City Governnt to look for Zhang Ruiqiang’s help in getting the approvals, he was rejected!
“That is the Machinery Company employees’ hospital, how can you privatize it? Also, how can a hospital be converted into a shareholding and its purpose was to generate profits? Do you still have a conscience?!” Zhang Ruiqiang reprimanded.
“Why should I have a conscience? The doctors are using their expertise, and the hospital needs dications and must provide facilities like operating theatres, wards, etc. to treat patients. Why they should not get paid for the efforts they put in? Since the olden days, which clinic does not make money? Are you telling that those doctors do not need to earn money for their families?” Feng Yu retorted.
“You are unreasonable! To prevent those private hospitals who was out to earn money, the governnt set up governnt hospitals. The governnt even provide financial assistance to these hospitals. This was to make sure everyone can afford to see doctors. Now you are telling that you want to make use of this to make money? Are you really that poor?”
Zhang Ruiqiang looked at Feng Yu in despise. Others might not know, but Zhang Ruiqiang was clear. The Machinery Company was worth more than 1 billion RMB. He was not sure if Feng Yu was the wealthiest man in China, but he was sure that Feng Yu was the wealthiest person in Bing City and Longjiang Province!
Other than the Machinery Company, Feng Yu still have the humidifiers and bladeless fan businesses. His family still owns pig farms and food processing factories. Which one of these businesses were not making high profits? Yet Feng Yu was thinking of making use of a hospital to earn money? This was too evil!
Feng Yu was speechless. Why should I stop making money when I am not short of money? Furthermore, those governnt hospitals had terrible services. The quality of the doctors was not good. When the citizens fall sick, they also chose the hospitals for treatnts. Even the governnt officials also decide to go to the best hospital in Bing City when they fall ill.
“The hospital I am setting up will charge the patients according to the regulations. It will also adhere to the Health Ministry’s regulations. What’s wrong with that? Furthermore, I will also be responsible for the Machinery Company’s employees and their families. Those employees and their families, including those retired workers, will still enjoy subsidies when they visit the hospital. We will open the hospital to the public and earn so money from them. The money earned will help to subsidize the employees and their families, and also make so profits for the hospitals. It will not be like those governnt hospitals where the doctors asked the patients’ families for red packets before operations!”
In this era, doctors will give hints to the patients’ family mbers for red packets. Last month, Bing City news also reported a series of incidents about this. Even though that doctor was fired from the hospital, but the governnt hospitals’ reputation among the citizens had fallen to the lowest point. Even the governnt was affected.
So people had said that red packets were a must if you are asking the governnt for assistance. One must also treat governnt officials for als. This was the so-called “give and take”!
“I just don’t get it. You said that you wanted a good reputation and had donated so much money to the schools. Why can’t you do the sa for this hospital?” Zhang Ruiqiang asked.
Feng Yu looked up to the ceiling: “How can this be the sa? I had donated so much to the schools in Bing City was to repay to my hotown. This was also for my parents. They can hold their heads up high proudly when they go out. Our country also emphasized a lot on education. I am also following the nation’s calls. But our country did not say that private hospitals must benefit the citizens and give welfare to them.
Furthermore, I had donated to the universities was for the future recruitnt of my companies. When my companies need to do hiring, all I need to do is to ntion that my companies had donated the school buildings in their universities. With the sa offers, these people will choose to join my companies even when our competitors are the governnt agencies!”
Zhang Ruiqiang was at a loss of words. He had never thought that Feng Yu had donated to the school for this motive! All this while, he had full of respect for Feng Yu. But now, he realized that Feng Yu was a real businessman. Every cent that cos out of his pocket had a motive!
