The medical school's enrollment work can only be described as a successful conclusion.
That evening, the 500 admitted candidates and their parents were gathered in the auditorium of Four Seasons Hospital, where the Dean of the Medical School, Kang Hesong, explained to them the future teaching plans of the medical school.
Each parent opened their little notebook and took notes with their heads down.
It is very regrettable that among the final 500 people, only 10 of them were from rural areas, and the city kids took advantage of those in the industry.
But Chen Xia never thought that maybe the children from farmers' families knew there were opportunities here, but couldn't come because they didn't have the money for the trip?
Because I was not sure if I could pass the exam even if I came to Yuezhou, I traveled thousands of miles to Yuezhou but was not admitted in the end, and I spent hundreds of yuan on travel expenses and accommodation.
This is unacceptable to some peasant families. For example, Zhan Aiju and Shen Huishan did not even go back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year in order to save travel expenses. This is unimaginable for ordinary people.
However, this also has an advantage. Children from rural areas often do not have a solid foundation in foreign language education. Many medical school teachers are foreigners and teach entirely in English. If you cannot understand what they are saying, you will be in big trouble.
Among the 500 people, 450 have a medical background in their families and can be called the "second generation of doctors" or "third generation of doctors".
Chen Xia is optimistic about this. The fact that so many children of outstanding medical workers enter the Margaret School of Medicine and will work in Four Seasons Hospital in the future will greatly enhance the reputation and level of the entire hospital.
For example, a patient went to Su Provincial Hospital for treatment. After Dr. Huang diagnosed the disease, he said that their hospital could not cure it.
The patient must be anxious and will definitely ask the doctor which hospital is best for treatment?
Dr. Huang knew that his son Huang Bo's workplace had a specialty in this area, so he would definitely introduce:
"You guys go to Four Seasons Hospital."
Well, this is considered a successful introduction of a patient, and this type of patient is often a "difficult and complicated disease" or a "severely ill patient"
These are exactly the patients that senior doctors like most because they have research value. They can write papers and do projects on them, and the money and fame will come in like a ton of cash.
If one is lucky enough, the world's first rare disease may be discovered and named after the doctor, which would bring honor to the family.
Top hospitals have little interest in common diseases. One reason is that the medical expenses are low, and the other is that they have no scientific research value.
So many people complain that when they are hospitalized in big hospitals, they don’t see any chief experts to see them from beginning to end, and they feel that this shows a lack of attention.
But you have to know that when a group of white-haired old men surround you, there will be a new grave in your family's ancestral cemetery.
Chen Xia did not go on stage, but sat quietly in the back row, looking at the lively venue and the outstanding students, his heart filled with joy.
This group of people will become the core technical team of Four Seasons Hospital and even the entire Four Seasons Group’s medical division in the future.
Chen Xia is a little petty and trusts the talents he has trained the most. This is just the first batch and there will be more students enrolled every year in the future.
The number of students admitted to each class of Margaret Medical College will not be too large, and Chen Xia does not plan to exceed 1,000 people. Perhaps in the future, the majors will focus on clinical practice and expand to the entire medical profession.
But the number of people doesn’t mean anything. What Chen Xia wants to cultivate is the elite class.
In a hospital, a department, among more than ten doctors, only one or two are elites from Margaret Medical College.
If one or two people have good skills, excellent qualities and high level, they can become the core of the entire department.
If one soldier is a coward, the whole general will be a coward.
The quality of a department's clinical and scientific research depends entirely on the discipline leader.
After finishing the preparation and enrollment work for the medical school, Chen Xia was able to get away again. What remained was the responsibility of the medical school leadership headed by Dean Tang Hesong.
Anyway, as the boss, all he has to do is pay the money.
As for teaching work, there are so many ready-made experts and professors at Four Seasons Hospital, you can choose any one you want.
It’s really hard to pick out anyone. Just go ahead and recruit whoever you want. As the boss, he fully supports you anyway.
Chen Xia left for Shanghai the next day, where he encountered some problems in selecting a location for the one-stop shopping mall "Four Seasons Center".
He was thinking too simply. Large commercial entities like Wanda Plaza in later generations are generally located on the edge of the city or in new areas with relatively cheap land prices, and rarely move to the city center.
Therefore, Chen Xia's original instructions to Xiangjiang Property Company were to find such a cheap piece of land, the larger the better.
But the Shanghai Stock Exchange in July 1992 is not the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2020. At that time, even the Pudong New Area had not been established.
The scale and wealth of the entire city are far from as perfect as Chen Xia imagined, which means that the place with the best business environment, or the place with the largest flow of customers, is definitely not the suburbs or new areas.
When the Xiangjiang team toured the suburbs of Shanghai, based on their experience, they found that the boss's instructions seemed a bit inappropriate.
What was the suburbs of Shanghai like at that time? Let's talk about Putuo District.
Putuo District, the central urban area in later generations, was still a typical suburb in 1992. It was a little lively along the Suzhou River, but after Caoyang New Village, there were vast tracts of farmland and rural areas.
Later, Minhang, where housing prices soared to the sky, was considered a rural area in the eyes of Shanghai people, at most a suburban area.
If you were to open a large-scale shopping mall in a place like this, who would come to buy things? How would you manage the customer flow? Remember, at that time, people relied entirely on public transportation for transportation.
Just like the movie "Stock Crazy" starring Pan Hong, the heroine is a bus conductor, the kind of caterpillar-like two-carriage
The colors of buses are usually orange and white, and people are so crowded that people are squeezed to death.
Nowadays, few families can afford a private car, so transportation is a problem for getting from the city center to the suburbs to go shopping.
People might come once or twice to see the excitement, but after a long time, they definitely wouldn't want to go to the suburbs. Squeezing into a bus was definitely a physically demanding activity in the 1990s.
When Chen Xia heard the report from Lu Yuankai, general manager of Four Seasons Property Company, he slapped his forehead.
It has been more than ten years since I was reborn, but the inertial thinking of my previous life still lingers. I still imagine Shanghai to be a giant city, and any piece of land I can find is a prime location.
"Alas, Mr. Lu, thank goodness you reminded me, otherwise I, an amateur, would have made a mistake."
Lu Yuankai, who is in his 40s, used to be the vice president of operations of Harbour City, the largest shopping mall in Hong Kong. He has extensive experience in the industry.
He actually made the greatest contribution to the development of Harbour City from the Wharf to the largest shopping mall in Asia at that time. However, he was never promoted because the general manager was a relative of the boss.
Then he was poached by a headhunting company and became the general manager of Four Seasons Property Company. Chen Xia gave him a lot of power.
Chen Xia has a creed: everyone has their own expertise, trust professional practitioners, and don't let laymen lead professionals.
