The first lobbyist was unsuccessful, and Principal Ma returned with infinite melancholy.
The old man had selfish motives and wanted to rely closely on the big tree of Siji University, which would not only provide him with a large amount of sponsorship fees every year, but also provide him with a large number of scientific research projects.
These resources are too precious for a university, so the old man wants to keep them for himself.
But Four Seasons Group is a foreign-funded enterprise after all, and it is not like Yuezhou Hospital which can be swallowed up easily. There is a natural gap between them.
Even if Four Seasons Hospital agrees, it is estimated that the higher authorities will not approve Zhijiang Medical University to become a supporting school of Four Seasons Hospital.
Unless Chen Xia buys out the entire Zhijiang Medical University, but is that possible?
However, the old man also wanted to make the most of his opportunity, so he asked Chen Xia to repeatedly guarantee that he would accept no less than 200 graduates this year. Only then did he leave Yuezhou unhappily.
It wasn't just Zhijiang Medical University that smelled the scent; even the Second Military Medical University was ready to make a move.
Let Professor Wu Mengchao ask if there is any opportunity for cooperation between the two units?
At the beginning, the leaders of the Four Seasons Group and the Second Military Medical University were flirting with each other, and they even wanted to hang a sign of the Second Military Medical University Affiliated Hospital.
Unfortunately, the nature of the Second Military Medical College was too special and was not approved by the superiors, so it ended up becoming just an "internship hospital."
It is almost impossible to make such a university become the medical school of Four Seasons Group. Poaching a few professors would be the better option.
Several other medical schools in Zhijiang Province had connections with the Four Seasons Group. Unfortunately, cooperation between public universities and foreign-funded hospitals was still a very sensitive issue in 1992.
This kind of cooperation, in particular, was the way in which the Four Seasons Group acquired a public medical school, which was absolutely a groundbreaking event at the time.
Selling the school? Crazy?
The result disappointed Chen Xia. After careful study, the higher-ups rejected the application to establish the "Four Seasons Medical College".
The reasons are quite valid. The first is how can private universities guarantee the quality of teaching? Will the diplomas be recognized by the government?
Second, who is leading the university? Letting foreign capital manage a university? Are you kidding?
However, the above did not impose a one-size-fits-all decision. It just suggested that Four Seasons Group choose any medical school in China to cooperate with, and even adopt the nature of "commissioned training" to train talents.
But all this was not the result Chen Xia wanted.
As I said, if you can't control things in your own hands, there will be too many unexpected problems in the future.
West Garden
Chen Xia was sighing, and his father-in-law was also sighing.
Gu Wei is reaching the age limit, 65 years old, and is about to retire.
The old man’s work experience is also a legend. He went from being the director of a hospital to being the mayor, which is a rare situation in China.
Historically, there have been very few officials coming from the health system, but a large number of them coming from the education system.
Old man Gu has worked hard for most of his life, and now he is about to retire. He feels very bad.
He is not greedy for power, but he is just a person who cannot sit still. If he stays at home every day, he will definitely get bored and become sick.
Seeing the father-in-law and son-in-law sitting on the sofa, sighing and groaning, Mother Gu was furious.
"Don't you two have anything to do? Go help the kids with their homework. It's not right for grown men to sit around and sigh all day."
Gu Lin nodded vigorously while watching TV: "That's right!"
"That's what? You're no better. What other mother is like you? You don't help your own child with homework, but just let him watch TV. Why don't you just get inside the TV?"
Well, my mother-in-law is angry, no one is allowed in.
Gu Lin quickly turned off the TV and went to the second floor to urge the triplets to do their homework, but Chen Xia knew that these guys must have gone to the bedroom on the second floor to watch TV.
Gu Wei took a look at the atmosphere and said to his son-in-law, "Let's go for a walk in the garden."
The West Garden has been completely renovated, with the walls alone being reinforced and raised to 6 meters.
In addition, power grids and monitoring equipment are installed on it. There are at least 10 security guards on duty 24 hours a day, and one shift is responsible for the security of Xiyuan.
It has to be said that the incident of the Zhou family attacking the Chen family's villa left a psychological shadow on Chen Xia, and he was particularly concerned about the safety of his family.
So if we talk about the safest private residence in Yuezhou now, it must be Xiyuan.
"Xiao Xia, tell your dad about any difficulties you've encountered recently, and I'll give you some advice."
"Dad, I'm bummed about Four Seasons Medical College. They gave us a response today, rejecting our application. The mainland is still too conservative. The economy can have multiple ownership structures, so why can't schools?"
"Establishing a university in the country?"
Gu Wei was a little surprised by his son-in-law's boldness. He was the first person to try something new.
"It's normal for the higher-ups to refuse. After all, there's no precedent for this. You shouldn't complain. But if you really want to open a medical school, there's no need to focus on the mainland. Why don't you take advantage of your current status?"
Chen Xia had a carrot on his head and was a little confused. "What advantages does my identity have?"
Gu Wei rolled his eyes at his son-in-law:
"You might say you're smart, but sometimes you're actually quite stupid. You're a Hong Kong native, a foreign investor. It's not very likely that a foreigner like you will be able to start a university in China. Your status limits you." (Note 1)
Since it's not possible in China, it's possible in Hong Kong. You're from Hong Kong. As long as you have the money and the resources, you can definitely open a private medical school in Hong Kong. That way, you can have a legitimate background."
Chen Xia half understood and half didn't understand, "Dad, please be more specific, I still don't understand!"
When Gu Wei heard this, he felt very happy. Look, he is the one who is spicy after all, young man, haha.
"You do it this way. You first register a university in Hong Kong, then go to the mainland to recruit students independently. The requirement is that they must be high school graduates with top scores in the college entrance examination. Then you go through a round of interviews and select the best candidates."
"But Dad, why would they choose to go to a good public university instead of our private university in Hong Kong?"
"You're wrong. The mere mention of 'Hong Kong University' is incredibly tempting for mainland students. It's a great opportunity to study abroad. How many people dream of going abroad these days?"
What's more, you can be exempted from tuition and fees for 5 years and study for free. This is a fatal temptation for poor students. You should know that you are in the same group with poor students in Yuezhou No. 1 Middle School. They have a very hard time.
The key point is that Four Seasons Group, or Four Seasons Hospital, is a well-known name in the domestic health system. How many medical graduates want to work at Four Seasons Hospital every year? It's almost like everyone is vying for a spot.
At that time, you should publicly announce that five years later, Four Seasons Hospital will, in principle, only recruit graduates from Four Seasons Medical College. If you want to work in Four Seasons Hospital, get a high salary, or study abroad, you must first be admitted to Four Seasons Medical College.
Then you’ll see, will everyone be scrambling for it? Will they still care about whether one has a mainland diploma or not?
(Note 1: At that time, Chinese people were accustomed to viewing Hong Kong as a "foreign country." The author refused to report the article, arguing that he was unpatriotic.)
