"Yuezhou Hospital?"
Chen Xia was shocked. Although Yuezhou Hospital had been removed from Zhijiang Medical University, it was still a municipal-level public hospital.
Even if the city wanted to sell it, he wouldn't dare buy it.
What a joke! A Jiangsu provincial official named Qiu sold all the hospitals in the city, and so many years later he is still being criticized and cursed?
"Dad, I don't dare take Yuezhou Hospital. It's a public hospital. If I buy it, people will misunderstand me as taking advantage of the country. This kind of thankless task will not benefit me in terms of reputation or profit."
Gu Wei rolled his eyes at his son-in-law:
"You're a pig! How could I possibly sell a state-owned hospital to you? Even if you want to buy it, I don't dare sell it to you. I'm asking you, are you interested in the new campus of Yuezhou Hospital?"
"Hmm? The new campus?"
This Chen Xia Ke is very familiar. The construction of the new Yuezhou Hospital was before the Four Seasons Group. It was a project initiated by him personally, and he even went to find the funds for the construction of the hospital personally.
It can be said that he deserves half the credit for the completion of this new hospital.
However, after the Li Jun incident, Yuezhou Hospital fell into a slump and even Zhijiang Medical University withdrew the name of its affiliated hospital.
Coupled with the fact that Four Seasons Hospital opened earlier, Yuezhou Hospital is now having a very difficult time.
Basically, they rely on some minor illnesses and public medical care. The highest-end patients and the most profitable patients all go to the Four Seasons Hospital with higher standards and better services.
Chen Xia asked curiously:
"Dad, what's going on at Yuezhou People's Hospital? When I left six months ago, I saw the interior renovations weren't finished yet. It was dragging on. What happened?"
Gu Wei said helplessly, "What else could it be? The hundreds of millions of dollars in special funds for the hospital you left behind are gone."
"So much money, and it's gone?"
Chen Xia jumped up excitedly. He had painstakingly obtained that money from the government. Even at the exchange rate of that year, it must have been at least 400 million, right? Plus, the ministry had provided 100 million in matching funds.
Looking across the country, which hospital is as luxurious as Yuezhou Hospital?
Now tell him that the money is gone? The new hospital hasn't even been built yet and the money is gone?
This was hard for Chen Xia to accept.
Gu Wei was also very angry:
"Li Jun is to blame for this. Before you left, you stipulated that these hundreds of millions of dollars must be used exclusively for the hardware and software construction of the new hospital and cannot be used for other purposes.
But after you left, Yuezhou Hospital's business plummeted. After your Four Seasons Hospital opened, Yuezhou Hospital became even less visited. But such a large hospital needs to be maintained. On the one hand, the new hospital's infrastructure costs are flowing like water, and on the other hand, Li Jun wants to work hard to maintain high welfare and high income for employees.
So he could only borrow money for the construction of the new hospital. As a result, when he borrowed money, his superiors found out and borrowed a lot of it under various pretexts. So, after a while, the money was..."
Chen Xia retorted unhappily, "Dad, I'm afraid you guys get a lot of money from the city, right?"
Gu Wei blushed and said:
"The city is also in trouble. Besides, if we don't take the money, the higher-ups will take it all. So we have no choice but to take action. After all, the meat is rotten in our pot, right?"
Chen Xia could fully imagine that these hundreds of millions of dollars would be divided up like a cake.
It enriched his immediate superior and Yuezhou City, but harmed Yuezhou Hospital. No wonder the construction of the new hospital was later stopped. It turned out that this was the problem.
As a former "Vietnamese doctor", Chen Xia felt a little uncomfortable about this.
The new site of Yuezhou People's Hospital is just opposite the Four Seasons Hospital, with the gates of the two institutions facing each other. Chen Xia's design at that time was very magnificent, and was designed entirely in accordance with the standards of a world-class international hospital.
So when outsiders look at the north of Yuezhou City, they can see two groups of high-rise buildings facing each other.
The Four Seasons Hospital building in the east looks like a blooming lotus, while the Yuezhou Hospital building in the west looks more like dominoes, with several tall buildings standing side by side.
It is also a new city landmark of Yuezhou.
The only drawback is that it is an unfinished building, which is very detrimental to the cityscape.
If Yuezhou Hospital were to pay for the renovation itself, it would probably take a lifetime to make back the money from this project worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Currently, the only company in Yuezhou City that has the ability to take over is the Four Seasons Group, and no one else can be relied upon.
"Dad, how are you going to sell it in the city? How much do you want?"
Gu Wei once again shyly extended two fingers:
"Two hundred million. This is the city's decision. It's also the cost of the land and buildings for Yuezhou Hospital's new campus. The city isn't losing money, nor is it making any profit. It's completely at cost."
Chen Xia was about to roll his eyes when Gu Wei slapped him hard on the back of his head. "Roll your eyes, what the hell? Just tell me whether you agree or not."
Chen Xia was really angry and amused:
"Hey, hey, hey, Mayor Gu, this is unreasonable. What's the point of spending 200 million on an unfinished building? We still have two vacant high-rise buildings at Four Seasons Hospital, which is more than enough.
Besides, your city's idea is a good one. Now that Yuezhou Hospital is yours, if you sell the new campus, the 200 million in cash will go entirely to your city, and Zhijiang Medical University won't get a penny."
After hearing this, Gu Wei said earnestly:
"I've thought about this, and it's for your own good. This time back in the mainland, you gave the higher-ups a consolation prize, so you should also give the locals some benefits. In business, it's better to gamble with anger than with money. You won't lose money by spending these 200 million."
Well, now that his father-in-law and the mayor have said so, what else can Chen Xia do? Just buy it.
It’s a pity for Yuezhou Hospital. It really seems like a dream.
It was founded by Gu Wei and then prospered in Chen Xia's hands. However, when it was about to reach its peak, it was artificially interrupted by Li Jun and has since declined.
From a top domestic hospital to an ordinary municipal hospital, how can this be described with just one word: tragic?
Now he is so miserable that he has to sell all his property. I wonder how disappointed his old colleagues who are still staying in Yuezhou Hospital are.
This is truly "I saw him build a tall building, I saw him entertain guests, and I saw his building collapse."
Chen Xia was also very generous in paying the money. How could it be considered a loss to spend 200 million yuan to acquire a ready-made hospital with modern design?
Can 200 million five years ago be equated with 200 million five years later? Don't forget that this is an era of soaring prices.
So although Chen Xia bought it at the original price, he actually got a great bargain. It is now worth 300 or 400 million yuan without any problem.
Moreover, Chen Xia had carefully selected the new site of Yuezhou Hospital. It is located on the main road of the city, directly connected to the highway and the railway station. The geographical location is very advantageous, and there is huge potential for land appreciation in the future.
This is more than 700 acres of land in the main urban area. In a few decades, the value of this land alone will be hundreds of billions of RMB.
