Chapter 843 Four Seasons Hospital Makes a Lot of Money



The number of outpatients has exploded, the number of inpatients has exploded, and Longfeng Pharmacy’s business has also exploded.

Currently, the busiest place in the northern part of Yuezhou City is the Four Seasons Hospital.

Every day from morning to night, at least half of the passengers leaving the train station and bus station are heading to Four Seasons Hospital.

Anyway, the train station square is full of tricycles, so there is no need to bargain. It costs 50 cents per person to go to the Four Seasons Hospital 2 kilometers away, and there is no bargaining.

The hospital not only boosted the prosperity of transportation, but also caused all the hotels and guesthouses, big and small, in Yuezhou city to be overcrowded.

The tertiary industry affiliated with Yuezhou Hospital, including the three guesthouses under the name of Yueyi Hotel, are always full every day, which contributes a considerable amount of funds to Yuezhou Hospital.

Chen Xia was in the conference room at this time, waiting with Dean Lin and others for the operating data for the first two months of opening to be released.

Fei Meilan, the former retired chief financial officer of Yuezhou People's Hospital, was transferred by Chen Xia from Four Seasons Textile Company to Four Seasons Hospital to serve as chief accountant.

The old lady has been dealing with hospital finances all her life. What tricks and sleights of hand can’t she see through?

Back then, Chen Xia used the space hospital's transportation of New Year's goods as welfare benefits to make a profit. The only person in the entire hospital who noticed the clue was Aunt Fei. Her vision was extremely sharp.

The door of the conference room opened and Fei Meilan led a group of young accountants into the conference room.

When Chen Xia and the others saw this, they sat up straight and pricked up their ears.

Chen Xia is particularly concerned about the financial situation. Although he is prepared for the hospital to make losses for 5 years, who would be willing to make losses if it is possible to avoid them?

The data for the first month should have been released, but Chen Xia required that "Four Seasons Hospital" and "Longfeng Pharmacy" be accounted for separately, so the financial statements were reorganized.

Fei Meilan smiled as she entered the meeting room:

"Hey, leaders, why do you look so serious? You look even more conservative than the staff in the Finance Department?"

Lin Jiahao also smiled and said, "Chief Fei, we all want to hear good news."

"Good news, don't worry, it's definitely good news."

After saying that, Fei Meilan excitedly opened the folder.

"Let me first report to you on the financial situation of the first two months. In the first month of our hospital's opening, the number of outpatient visits reached 260,000, and in the second month, the number of outpatient visits was 240,000.

But don't worry, the second month's decline isn't due to fewer patients, but rather our boss's requirement to limit the number of patients per day. Otherwise, according to the old rules of our Yuezhou Hospital, the number of patients would have exceeded 300,000."

Everyone chuckled and looked at Chen Xia who was sitting in the middle of the conference room.

Chen Xia also touched his nose: "Don't look at me, I'm not a landlord who can only exploit employees. In the future, as the hospital expands and the number of doctors increases, Dean Lin will arrange more outpatient appointments."

Fei Meilan continued to report:

"In the first month, the number of inpatients was [number of] people, and in the second month, 500 beds were added, bringing the number of inpatients to [number of] people."

The bed turnover rate at Four Seasons Hospital is very fast. One reason is that the treatment drugs are advanced and effective, which speeds up the course of the disease.

The second is that the surgical department of Four Seasons Hospital has widely adopted laparoscopic surgery, which has greatly shortened the length of hospital stay.

For surgeries like gallstones, patients are usually discharged from the hospital 3 days after the surgery, but it would take at least a week if they were to go to another hospital.

At this time, Vice President Kang Chengde suddenly asked, "Chief Fei, how is the hospital's revenue?"

President Kang just retired from Union Hospital. As the former president of a public hospital, he is very sensitive to how much money he makes, because it is related to the future healthy development of the hospital.

Fei Meilan nodded, then said with a smile:

"In the first month, Four Seasons Hospital's profit reached 20 million yuan, and Longfeng Pharmacy's profit was 26 million yuan. In the second month, Four Seasons Hospital had a surplus of 26 million yuan, and Longfeng Pharmacy's profit reached 40 million yuan."

hiss~~~~~

Everyone in the office gasped. Some of them had thought about losing money, some had thought about breaking even, and some of the more optimistic ones had thought about making a small profit, but they didn't expect the profit to be so exaggerated?

It's really exaggerated.

Chen Xia also clenched his fist, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground. Such a huge profit, and this was only in the first two months of opening. There will be more in the future.

By this calculation, the investment of more than 200 million US dollars in Four Seasons Hospital can be earned back in a few years.

Dean Lin Jiahao is better off because Xiangjiang Hospital has higher profits. This figure is not too exaggerated, it can only be said to exceed his expectations.

Kang Chengde, Xuan Yongda, Chen Chun, Ren Yuanfei and other hospital leaders, as well as mainland doctors, were all stunned.

Kang Chengde was ecstatic. It seemed that he had made the right move.

You have to know that he took a big risk by retiring from a top hospital in the mainland to work in a foreign-funded hospital outside the capital.

Now when I hear about the number of outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and business income, I feel relieved and I can feel at ease with my annual salary of HK$1 million.

Because he knew clearly that the annual surplus profit of Union Hospital would not exceed 10 million RMB, and would not even reach the monthly surplus of Four Seasons Hospital.

The profits of Longfeng Pharmacy are even more exaggerated.

Because Longfeng Pharmacy is not only the hospital's pharmacy, but also a retail pharmacy for all citizens, and it can sell medicines without prescriptions.

Moreover, Longfeng Pharmacy sells exclusive medicines, such as acarbose, metformin, nifedipine, amlodipine, atorvastatin, cephalexin, etc., which are all popular products.

Another example is "Sildenafil". It turns out that Pumpkin Vine has been sold under the name of "Ten-fold Kidney-Nourishing Wine".

When Longfeng Pharmacy opened, sildenafil was also put on the counter. Men, after all, know what it is like after using it.

Every day there are long queues of customers coming to buy sildenafil. Many of them come from other places and are probably second-hand dealers.

Of course, the high income of Four Seasons Hospital is also related to "high pricing".

Chen Xia wanted to operate the hospital in a different way, positioning Four Seasons Hospital as a mid- to high-end hospital, rather than competing with regional hospitals for ordinary patients.

To put it bluntly, for an ordinary patient, how much can you afford for medicine?

For example, Four Seasons Hospital is not very welcoming to appendicitis surgeries, so these patients are given to Yuezhou Hospital.

Four Seasons Hospital specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases, serious and critical illnesses, and rare diseases.

This will not only guarantee profits, but also rapidly improve the medical level of a hospital. It will then be easy for the hospital to conduct research projects and for doctors to write papers.

Now that the hospital is back on track, Chen Xia feels that he can let go.

Lin Jiahao is the former director of Prince of Hong Kong Hospital, Kang Chengde is the former director of Union Hospital, plus Xuan Yongda, his confidant, and Chen Chun, the "relative", this combination is the most appropriate and the most combat-effective.

He was about to prepare to welcome two distinguished guests.
