Song Wenlu said, "I’m talking about online defamation. In reality, it’s definitely not feasible. Even if you get a couple of goons to pretend to be patients and make a fuss, it won’t have much effect. But controlling public opinion online and spending money to hire internet trolls can be quite effective."
Lv Zhaoqun replied, "You want to limit outsiders from coming to them? That would be very limited, and might even accidentally bring them more traffic."
Song Wenlu said helplessly, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Truth be told, if money couldn’t solve it, he really couldn’t think of another way to target Lu Jiu TCM Hospital.
Lv Zhaoqun thought for a long ti and could only scratch his head.
"Let’s leave it at that for now. Try to find another opportunity to get in touch with him. If five hundred million doesn’t work, then we can only report to the organization."
...
Back ho, Lu Jiu dialed Huang Fusheng’s number.
He rembered during history class, his teacher once told him that a hundred years ago, Fusang sent many people to Huaxia to survey the geography with the intention of invasion. They spent decades doing this and their maps were more precise than Huaxia’s official ones.
He thought that after a hundred years, as Huaxia beca stronger, the enemies wouldn’t dare cause trouble in Huaxia openly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the hospital had just started, it got targeted.
It’s conceivable that in the other seven pilot cities, this group also had their informants.
These bastards have really long reach!
"Hello, Lu Jiu, what’s up?"
Lu Jiu said, "Teacher, a person from Fusang wants to buy our hospital for two billion."
Huang Fusheng imdiately beca serious upon hearing this. "Did you et with him?"
Lu Jiu replied, "Yes."
Huang Fusheng asked, "Did he introduce himself?"
Lu Jiu said, "No, but his intentions were very obvious, and a blogger previously warned that people from Fusang were contacting local TCM practitioners to buy prescriptions, so I was already on guard. This ti, when I t with him, sothing felt off."
"Of course, it might just be my imagination. After all, if he really wanted to buy, he shouldn’t act like a nouveau riche and just throw money at ."
Huang Fusheng said, "Not necessarily. Maybe they never expected you’d refuse two billion from the start."
"But being cautious is good. Actually, in recent decades, there have been quite a few collaborations with Fusang. Otherwise, a lot of good dicinal materials wouldn’t be sold to Fusang, and there’s even a jointly established Xiasang Friendly Hospital."
"You see, these comrcial transactions can’t be restricted by the authorities. Once you enter the market economy’s rules, this kind of phenonon can’t be stopped. I estimate he will approach you again, but as long as we ignore him, he’s virtually helpless. Jianghan, after all, is still our ho turf."
The market economy, when you get down to it, is all about money. But these people are up against soone who’s uninterested in money, and since Lu Jiu TCM Hospital isn’t a public company, financial tricks to bankrupt them don’t apply.
So, as long as Lu Jiu ignores these people, they are powerless.
Lu Jiu frowned, "During the poisonous textbook incident, there were shadows of Fusang scholars. Now they’re involved in healthcare, too. They truly never give up on trying to destroy us!"
Huang Fusheng laughed, "It’s just about creating chaos, so we fall into disorder, and they can take advantage. That’s how the island nation is — with survival pressure, aggression is their only choice. It’s weirder if they didn’t, but look at it another way, without them stirring trouble, would we face these issues?"
"Surely we would, just maybe a little later, like when you helped the People’s Hospital in advance. We need opponents to stimulate internal reform. As long as we can identify and solve problems, rather than cover them up, then enemies can beco our helpers."
"Whether it’s a country or an individual, fundantally they’re the sa. People die because their Five Viscera are damaged, and their Righteous Qi is gone. Countries collapse due to internal problems. Fix Righteous Qi and hold onto the right path, and these clowns can only jump around helplessly on the sidelines."
Lu Jiu couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you teaching state governance through dical diagnosis?"
Huang Fusheng burst into laughter, "Isn’t that what Traditional Chinese dicine aims for — reaching the state of Top Doctor governance? If your TCM health examination system works, you’ll achieve state governance in its true sense. In ancient tis, you’d be considered a sage, you know!"
A sage?
Lu Jiu laughed and sighed, "Teacher, stop joking, becoming a sage?"
Huang Fusheng seriously said, "This is no joke. In this era, if one person can beco a sage, it’s soone you know, Mr. Yuan Sr., who solved the problem of feeding billions with agriculture — calling him a sage wouldn’t be an exaggeration."
"And if the TCM health examination system becos a reality, it’ll elevate Huaxia’s preventive health care model, leveraging TCM’s advantages to the fullest, changing how billions perceive diseases. From ancient tis to now, no one has accomplished that."
"If you succeed, your contribution wouldn’t be any less than dical Saint Zhang Zhongjing’s. Isn’t that exciting?"
Indeed, it is.
Anyone who’s studied dicine knows dical Saint Zhang Zhongjing’s place in the TCM world.
His ’Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Warm Pathogenic Diseases’ has influenced the millennia, still working wonders today.
If ’Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor’ is the body’s manual, then the ’Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Warm Pathogenic Diseases’ is the treatnt guide.
TCM’s enduring legacy owes much to Zhang Zhongjing.
You could say Zhang Zhongjing is an absolute idol in every TCM practitioner’s heart.
To be on par with him?
Lu Jiu had thought about it.
But just in passing.
He knew it was practically impossible.
Anticipating improvents in dical skills might be feasible, but comparing dical contributions was almost out of the question.
Putting his na alongside Zhang Zhongjing would be an insult to Zhang Zhongjing.
However, as Huang Fusheng said, if his conceptualized TCM health examination system could be implented nationwide, serving billions of Huaxia people —
Then this contribution indeed seems unprecedented.
"Teacher, has anyone ever told you you’re good at painting grand visions?" Lu Jiu joked.
Huang Fusheng laughed, "Aren’t these grand visions you painted for ? I’m just building on them."
Uh... fine.
After chatting for a bit.
Lu Jiu hung up the phone as well.
He temporarily set aside today’s little incident.
As Huang Fusheng advised, there’s no need to bother with such people.
Not only must they be allowed to exist,
because no one understands you better than your opponent.
When they desperately want you gone, they’ll desperately study your weaknesses.
Having them around is like having a bug-detection tool.
Our task is to fix each bug as we discover them.
Going forward, the hospital may face so challenges.
But these challenges will only further prompt Lu Jiu to address the hospital’s systemic gaps.
The next morning, Lu Jiu arrived at the hospital.
As expected, the person blocked Lu Jiu again.
Again proposing to purchase the hospital, but this ti offering not two billion, but five billion.
To be honest, that’s quite a hefty offer.
But Lu Jiu still resolutely refused.
After Song Wenlu left in failure, Lu Jiu was on alert every day, wondering if any trouble would arise at the hospital.
Strangely, the guy did absolutely nothing.
The hospital remained as usual, with occasional minor doctor-patient disputes, but they were limited to re friction, not escalating into major conflicts.
For half a month, there was no commotion at the hospital.
This anticlimactic turn of events left Lu Jiu puzzled.
But it’s precisely these situations that demand the most vigilance.
Because these people either do nothing, or they do sothing big.
