On the plane from the United States to Hong Kong, Chen Xia and Li Zhibai sat together to discuss things.
President Li Zhibai is indeed an outstanding management talent. In the few short years since he took over Margaret Hospital, he has developed the hospital into the number one comprehensive hospital in Hong Kong and one of the top ten in Asia.
Although Chen Xia's continuous "invention" of drugs has contributed to this, the investors not only did not withdraw the hospital's funds, but have continued to invest in them in recent years.
However, if there is no good and outstanding manager, no advanced medical system, and no management system adapted to Hong Kong, no matter how good the medicine is, it will be difficult for the hospital to develop if people's hearts are unstable.
Therefore, Chen Xia valued Dean Li Zhibai very much and raised his management level within the group to M4, with an annual salary of 5 million Hong Kong dollars. This is definitely the highest-paid dean since the founding of Hong Kong.
"Boss, do you have any instructions regarding this unexpected $50 million sponsorship?"
Chen Xia: "Does Dean Li have any ideas?"
"My idea is this: the hospital is not short of money right now, so I plan to invest all of the $50 million into the Hong Kong Organ Transplant Center project, aiming to build the world's largest transplant center.
I've already had my eye on the land next to the hospital. I'd like to build a completely new transplant center there, divided into outpatient, inpatient, auxiliary examination, and laboratory departments. I also plan to build 20 new operating rooms of the highest standards and reserve the land for future expansion."
Chen Xia said nothing and asked again:
"Building a new center is simple, but given the strength of our Margaret Hospital, I'm afraid we still lack a large number of surgeons, anesthesiologists, and other surgical teams. How do you plan to solve this problem?"
Li Zhibai said, "I've thought about this. Hong Kong's local doctors aren't strong enough to support an organ transplant center, so I plan to recruit from abroad. Senior doctors usually have their own teams, so we can recruit them together when the time comes."
Chen Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's do as you say. If $50 million isn't enough, the group will make additional investments. My request is simple: we must build the best organ transplant center in the world."
Li Zhibai nodded, still feeling some pressure.
Now that Pumpkin Vine has solved the problem of anti-rejection drugs, the center's biggest problem now is the source of organs.
"Boss, there's another problem. Hong Kong is only a city of a few million people, and the source of organs is too limited. This will become the biggest obstacle to the development of the center. How can this be solved?"
Chen Xia also scratched his head.
So how do we solve the problem of “donors” for organ transplants in Hong Kong?
This is not a medicine, which can be produced if it is no longer available. This is a human organ, such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidney, and pancreas, which needs to be removed from the human body. If you are not careful, it will become a "criminal case."
"President Li, this is what I think. We can start organ transplantation surgery at Margaret Hospital first. At the beginning, the number of surgeries will be small, so the organ supply should be sufficient.
There really aren't enough. If there are wealthy foreigners who need organ transplants, then tell them that we can perform the surgery, but they have to find the organ source themselves, whether they buy it or... ahem..."
Dean Li chuckled twice, and everything was said without words.
"As for the center's official opening, it will require a large number of organ donors..."
Chen Xia thought of the famous "kidney phone" meme in later generations, which means that when Apple launches a new mobile phone, those who have no money are ready to sell their kidneys to buy the phone.
But this is actually an idea.
Purchasing human organs at high prices is actually an unspoken rule in organ transplant surgeries in later generations. The good thing about this method is that it does not violate the law and everything is based on the principle of voluntariness.
The procedure is that a normal person goes to the hospital to register for testing first, and after registration, the information is entered into the hospital's database. When a patient suitable for implantation appears, the person will be contacted for surgery.
There are also other methods such as living transplants between close relatives, organ harvesting in a criminal manner, and volunteer organ donation.
In those European and American movies, especially those in Eastern Europe, a normal person is walking on the road, and then suddenly someone stuffs him into a car. When he wakes up again, he finds that one of his kidneys has been removed. This is not a coincidence.
Eastern Europe has become a center for illegal organ trafficking.
In addition, there is another unspeakable source of organs in countries around the world, which of course was strictly prohibited decades later.
But who knows whether it can be stopped or not, cough cough.
Chen Xia continued:
"Money talks. If we don't want to commit crime, the best way is to promote transplants between close relatives and voluntary organ donation. If that's not enough, we can only purchase them at a high price."
Once the Hong Kong Organ Transplant Center becomes famous, people all over the world will know that there is such a hospital that can be acquired at a high price. With the advertising effect, the source of organs will no longer be a problem.
As for whether the people who come to sell their organs are miserable or not, this is not a question of human ethics. Perhaps if they don’t sell their organs for money, their lives will be even more miserable?
Li Zhibai sighed: "That's all we can do. There might be some pressure from public opinion."
Chen Xia also sighed: "That's nothing we can do. We can't have all the good things happen to us."
"That's true."
When Chen Xia and his team's plane landed at Kai Tak Airport, there was already a patient waiting for them in Hong Kong.
Ye Xincheng, 65, is one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong and the chairman of Tai Guang Group. He owns properties, shipping, hotels and other industries, and his net worth is said to be more than HK$40 billion.
This wealthy man was the most romantic man in Hong Kong when he was young. It is said that he had hundreds of girlfriends, including female stars and Hong Kong beauties. Basically, he had slept with all the beautiful women.
But when he was old, retribution came. At the age of 55, he was diagnosed with kidney failure. He went to all the top hospitals in the world but could not be cured. After he was 60, he relied entirely on dialysis to survive.
It’s not like he hasn’t thought about kidney transplantation, but as a rich man, he always wants others to be guinea pigs first.
However, even with cyclosporine invented by Novo Pharmaceuticals, most patients still have obvious postoperative reactions and the survival rate is obviously not high.
Foreign doctors could only tell him to wait and not undergo a kidney transplant before the technology was mature. It would still be in time for surgery when the latest generation of anti-rejection drugs came out.
Everyone is afraid of death, especially the rich.
Old man Ye has been suffering from kidney failure for a full 10 years. His condition is getting worse and worse. He has lost hope in life and is just waiting to die.
Until one day, the assistant came running to him excitedly to tell him a good news.
