Bao Yuren presided over the meeting. In order to take care of Chen Xia, he used English instead of Cantonese throughout.
For the doctors and nurses at Margaret Hospital, English is almost their mother tongue and they are used to it.
The only one who felt awkward at the scene was Xuan Yongda. No matter how hard he tried to improve his English, he was only okay at reading texts but completely unfit for conversation.
Bao Yuren first introduced the people on the stage: "Dear colleagues, let me introduce the lady in the middle of the stage, Ms. Chen Shuqin, she is the new chairman of our hospital."
There was applause from the audience.
Chairman, boss, who had the guts to go against a female capitalist and embarrass her? Just kidding, workplace etiquette is of course to give her a warm welcome.
Chen Shuqin stood up with a smile, nodded to everyone, and acted very friendly.
Bao Yuren continued to introduce that this young gentleman is a representative of the capital and an internationally renowned gastroenterologist. He is currently managing an international laboratory specializing in Helicobacter pylori research.
There was a round of lukewarm applause at first, and then the audience started talking:
Where did this mysterious young man come from? He's an internationally renowned expert. Is he just bragging?
Bao Yuren was very cunning. He did not point out Chen Xia's mainland background, but only mentioned his current medical achievements.
"Another person I believe many of us here are familiar with is Mr. Zeng Lizhibai, the director of the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital."
When it comes to which is the best hospital in Hong Kong, there is actually some controversy, especially in 1985.
If you are talking about the largest hospital, Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital will definitely not be ranked, but if you are talking about the strongest private hospital, Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital can definitely be ranked first.
This is a small but strong hospital. Its specialty departments are all very capable. Hong Kong's richest people and even top celebrities like to go to this hospital for medical treatment.
The person who contributed the most here is President Li Zhibai. He transformed a mid-level hospital into one of the top hospitals in Hong Kong. His management ability is unquestionable.
Hong Kong people worship the strong. If you have money, you are the boss. If you have ability, you are also the boss.
So when Vice President Bao introduced Li Zhibai, everyone's applause was noticeably louder. He was a great figure in the medical field. I wonder why he was at Margaret Hospital today? And he was sitting on the podium.
The smarter ones kept their eyes wandering between Stephen and Li Zhibai.
Everyone had some doubts, but when it came to the news that Li Zhibai came to Margaret Hospital to be a doctor, no one believed it. After all, the medical level and income and benefits of the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital were not comparable to those of Margaret Hospital.
In fact, Margaret Hospital is also a private hospital, but when England was colonizing Hong Kong, in order to maintain the stability of Hong Kong, Margaret Hospital made certain sacrifices for the national interests of England. It is a bit like a non-profit public hospital.
Once a hospital leans towards public welfare and welfare, one can imagine the income of its employees.
Not to mention how much money the patients can make, at least the top wealthy people are unwilling to come, so naturally there will be less donations.
Don't underestimate this donation. Rich people often donate tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.
Li Zhibai also stood up, waved to everyone with a smile, and then sat back down again, with no sign of anything happening on the surface.
After the introductions, Chen Shuqin, as the chairman, began her policy speech.
This was the new owner's second official appearance. The last appearance was at the handover ceremony. Because she did not understand the hospital's operations, Chen Shuqin did not make any public speeches.
This time, after more than two months, Chen Shuqin finally stepped out from behind the scenes, although she might have been forced to do so.
"Good afternoon, colleagues. My name is Chen Shuqin. I am currently the chairman of Xiangjiang Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company and will also serve as the chairman of Margaret Hospital. It is a great honor to work with you all."
Stephen looked at the woman on the stage, his mind already drifting elsewhere.
He is a white British man and an expert in urology. After becoming the dean, his management level is just average and can only be considered qualified.
The transfer of Margaret Hospital will obviously involve a period of turbulence, and the new boss will also need some time to adapt.
It is the nature of capital to take advantage of your illness to kill you.
So another hospital in Hong Kong, Prince's Hospital, came to poach people.
The boss behind this hospital promised him that as long as he could recruit Margaret's strongest gastroenterology and urology teams, he would be able to continue to serve as the director of Prince Hospital.
The key point is that his annual salary increased by 35%. His original annual income was 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. After going to Prince's Hospital, his annual salary will increase to 400,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Similarly, the promise given to doctors who change jobs is a 30% annual salary increase.
Don't underestimate this increase. In our hospital, salaries usually increase every few years, and the increase rarely exceeds 10%.
That is to say, Stephen and the medical team he will take with him will earn far more than their old colleagues, at least in the short term.
The systems in the mainland and Hong Kong are different. Doctors in public hospitals in the mainland rarely change jobs in their lifetime, and it is difficult for them to move for the sake of a regular position.
Being a doctor in Hong Kong is actually a profession. Doctors work part-time and will go wherever the salary is higher. There is a lot of job mobility, which is understandable.
But what was unkind of Stephen was that he couldn't wait to publicly resign when the hospital was just in the handover period. This was actually a public humiliation to the new employer and also affected the trust of other employees.
Another unfair thing is that if he wants to leave, he can leave alone. No one can force him to stay, but he poached two medical teams, which broke the rules of the game.
Today you poach my team, tomorrow I poach your team, just like the financial industry. How can the medical industry in Hong Kong maintain its quality and stability?
So what's hateful about Stephen is not that he wants to change jobs, but that he wants to poach people, and the one he takes away is the strongest department of his old club.
Chen Shufen was holding the microphone and had already finished a bunch of polite words, when she changed the subject.
"So, after deliberation by the board of directors, we've decided that, starting next month, all Margaret employees' salaries will increase by 50%. We've also pledged to provide an annual reward of no less than HK$1 million to departments with outstanding performance, and no less than HK$300,000 to individual doctors with outstanding performance."
The scene was quiet at first, and then suddenly exploded. At this time, who could care about gentlemanly manners and upbringing?
This is all money. A 50% salary increase at once definitely sets a record in the medical field in Hong Kong.
There was a trace of confusion in Stephen's eyes...
