Fortunately, the office was only 50 meters away from the ward, and I got there in a blink of an eye.
After arriving at the ward, Mr. Ramiz was not unconscious or in pain as expected. Instead, he greeted everyone with a smile:
"Hey, Lin, I feel great right now."
Lin Sanqi really thought that this was the patient's last breath, and thought to himself that it was impossible. The patient was clearly not terminally ill, so how could he suddenly bleed profusely?
Then all I could think about was that I should use an ECG monitor, take emergency biochemistry and blood tests, do emergency B-ultrasound and CT scans. In short, I needed to do a lot of tests, and if necessary, send him to the ICU to see what the problem was.
After Dean Shen and Lin Kucan ran to the ward, they observed that the patient's complexion was normal, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
For traditional Chinese medicine, it is very easy to distinguish between a dying face, an acute illness face, and a normal face.
The death face, also known as the "death face", is characterized by sunken eye sockets, dull eyes, dilated and dull pupils, pointed nose tip, flaring nostrils, lead-gray face, and almost expressionless face. It is often a sign of death in critically ill patients.
If it is an acute illness, the symptoms include flushed face, restlessness, flaring nostrils, and painful expression. Chinese medicine diagnosis mostly classifies it as a heat syndrome or a solid syndrome.
If it is a chronic disease, it will manifest as pale face, pale gums and tongue, haggard appearance, fatigue, shortness of breath, and Chinese medicine diagnosis is mostly deficiency syndrome due to insufficient Qi and blood.
Therefore, Chinese medicine practitioners can easily identify the patient's condition from the face.
Of course, Western doctors can also see it, but Western doctors trust auxiliary examination data more, and they just need to look at the patient's face to see if there is shock.
When the two big bosses, Dean Shen and Lin Kucan, saw Ramiz's face, they thought that this little face was even more flushed than in the morning, and it didn't look like she was dying.
So the two of them started taking his pulse, one on the left and one on the right.
Lin Sanqi, Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli were busy measuring blood pressure, temperature, listening to heart and lung sounds.
"How about we go and film another one?"
Dean Shen put down the patient's wrist and smiled:
"Don't be nervous. It's a good thing that the patient is coughing up blood. It's because they're coughing up all the blood clots that are blocking the trachea. If you don't believe me, go to the bathroom and check. It shouldn't be fresh blood, but dark red or black old blood."
Lin Sanqi nodded. The color of blood can often determine its source, which is an important reference standard for determining the severity of the disease.
Doctors Lin Sanqi and Bi Ma didn't mind the stench in the toilet and ran over to take a look. Sure enough, they saw a pool of dark blood.
But as a Western doctor, in order to "obtain evidence", Mr. Ramiz was pushed into the temporary radiology department, and Lin Sanqi took out the bedside CT scan again...
The results came out quickly, and sure enough, the plaintiff Ramiz's blocked bronchus was completely cleared, and it was a false alarm.
A week later, the Nordic Snow Country ambassador was discharged from the hospital after recovery.
When they were discharged from the hospital, the enthusiastic Ambassador Ramiz and his wife gave each attending physician a precious high-end Swedish-made "radio" to express their gratitude.
Lin Sanqi was holding the radio in his hand, feeling really amused and helpless. He had a lot of these things in his channel space, so what was the use of using it?
Leader Jing came over in person and gave Lin Sanqi a thumbs up:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, you've done a great job and brought honor to the country. The higher-ups are very pleased with your work. Don't worry, the awards for your hospital and for you personally will be forthcoming soon. However, I came here this time to talk to you about the X-ray machine.
This is the second time that Leader Jing has met Lin Sanqi face to face.
The first time the two met was at Fengtai Railway Station. At that time, in order to grab the food in the warehouse, the Chinese Hospital and the Digital Hospital fought directly, and then Jing Qisheng rushed to calm the situation.
However, Jing Qisheng did not speak to Lin Sanqi at that time, and Lin Sanqi was not qualified to get close to his boss's boss.
As a result, after a few months, Lin Sanqi became the biggest "smuggler" in the health system and was qualified to be the focus of attention of higher authorities.
In the dean's office.
Jing Qisheng, with a head full of white hair, sat behind the desk, smoking and tapping the table with his fingers. If you didn't know, you would think he was the owner.
The real owner, Dean Shen, and Lin Sanqi sat obediently on the wooden chairs opposite.
Dean Shen sat halfway down, and when he saw Lin Sanqi leaning on the back of the chair next to him, he quickly kicked him and whispered a reminder:
"Pay attention to your image in front of the leader and sit properly."
Lin Sanqi felt quite aggrieved, thinking to himself, I was just sitting there quietly, leaning against the chair at most, without shaking my legs or crossing them on the table, so how could I lose my image?
When Leader Jing saw Lin Sanqi's angry but unconvinced expression, he made his first assessment of Lin Sanqi in his heart:
This is a young man who is not very smart.
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, right? You don't have to be so reserved in front of me. Today we're just chatting casually. Don't feel any psychological burden, haha."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, leaders like to pretend to be friendly, but if you really try to be friendly with your leader, you will definitely be seen as frivolous and disrespectful to your boss.
So he quickly stood up and saluted: "Yes, Chief!"
Leader Jing's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Oh, so you see yourself as a soldier? Not just an ordinary medical worker?"
Lin Sanqi flattered:
"I always hold myself to the standards of a soldier. As long as the motherland needs me, I can dedicate everything I have. At the command of the motherland, I will go to the ends of the earth, no matter where I am."
Dean Shen curled his lips and thought to himself, if I hadn't known that you were planning to escape to Hong Kong in a few years, I would have really believed your lies.
Upon hearing this, Leader Jing burst into laughter again:
"Okay, that's straightforward. We soldiers should speak our mind directly, unlike those intellectuals who beat around the bush. Isn't that tiring? In that case, I won't be polite. Comrade Lin Sanqi, do you know why I'm looking for you?"
"Report, the boss has already told me about the X-ray machine."
Leader Jing nodded and confirmed again, "A total of 200 750 mAh large X-ray machines, can they complete the task?"
Lin Sanqi replied firmly: "Yes!"
Then Lin Sanqi scratched his head again: "But leader, the premise for me to complete the mission is that you can provide me with sufficient bullets. Otherwise, I can't do anything. After all, I am not the maker of the machine."
Leader Jing pushed a piece of letter paper in front of him towards Lin Sanqi:
"This is the list. The transaction amount this time is very large. We have temporarily collected 500 kilograms of musk, 800 kilograms of bezoar, and 6,000 pieces of Northeast wild ginseng, in addition to 50 tons of various common medicinal materials.
As for the remaining shortage, we urgently dispatched 5 tons of Hetian jade via military aircraft, according to your request. These are top-grade white jade—mutton-fat jade. All of these medicinal herbs and jade are now stored at the Tianjin Port, and you can take them away at any time."
When Lin Sanqi got the list, he shouted in his heart, I'm going to get rich again.
The value of wild musk and wild ginseng has been repeatedly emphasized. The transaction volume today alone would be worth billions in 2013.
Another valuable item in this transaction is the 5 tons of mutton-fat white jade.
In 1960, almost no one was interested in mutton-fat jade. It could not be eaten, nor could it be exported to earn foreign exchange. The local people in Hotan picked it up in piles and put it in warehouses to gather dust.
However, in 2013, one gram of mutton-fat jade could be sold for at least 10,000 yuan. If it was top-grade mutton-fat jade, 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per gram would be no problem.
Yes, you read it right, the seed material is sold by the gram and is much more valuable than gold.
So even though 5 tons of mutton-fat jade doesn't sound like a lot, the C-46 transport plane seized from the Guo army can transport it all in one go.
But if you get it in 2013, it is worth that 5 tons of mutton-fat jade is worth four or five hundred small goals.
Of course, if so much mutton-fat jade is sold at once, the entire jade market will collapse directly, but it can be released slowly, just like ginseng. Then wealth will flow into Lin Sanqi's bank account every day like tap water.
When others open their eyes every morning, they think about having to pay back hundreds of dollars in mortgage and car loans.
When Lin Sanqi opened his eyes, all he could think about was that he had made millions again today. Is there anything more satisfying than this?
Leader Jing had been observing Lin Sanqi's expression. Seeing Lin Sanqi staring blankly at the list, he thought he was dissatisfied with the quantity, so he explained:
"Comrade Sanqi, ahem, you know that the current situation in our country is not very good. We don't have many good things to offer. This is the best we can do in a short period of time."
Lin Sanqi came to his senses and immediately realized that he must not show too much happiness.
Although he was still too green in front of the old foxes, he knew that if he acted cheerful, it would be a clear signal to others that he had made a fortune.
Then the other party will definitely lower the price next time you trade, and will doubt your sincerity in the transaction. By then, Lin Sanqi won't even receive gratitude from the country.
Therefore, you must cry poor and pretend to be wronged to maximize your benefits.
Hold back and act extremely regretful and conflicted...
"Boss, this number is indeed a little small... Alas, you also know that I am just a patriotic smuggler, ah, a patriotic young man... Then I will try my best to contact the upper party."
Leader Jing laughed:
"It's not about trying your best, but about completing the mission. Just like the military order you signed at the Union Hospital, promising to cure Ambassador Ramiz's illness, you must be decisive, brave, and leave no room for retreat!"
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that leaders are too cunning and like to play with people's hearts.
But as a subordinate, Lin Sanqi couldn't be passive now. It was time to perform:
"Okay! Please rest assured, Chief. I promise to complete the task and obtain 200 of the most advanced X-ray machines for our country."
Leader Jing nodded with satisfaction. Now it was time to give him a carrot:
"I won't let you suffer any loss. Although I can't reward you materially, I know you don't lack food. So, if you can help the country complete another task, I promise to make you a two-bar, two-star rank."
Lin Sanqi rolled his eyes in his heart. Leader, huh, a genius at making empty promises.
But he still had to pretend to be excited: "Ah, what mission?"
Leader Jing waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the X-ray room."
Dean Shen and Lin Sanqi were confused and could only follow Leader Jing towards the X-ray room.
Leader Jing was just about to go to the toilet to pee, when Dean Shen pulled Lin Sanqi over and whispered:
"If your boss asks you anything later, answer if you can help. If it's difficult, don't agree. The tasks your boss easily promises you to get a promotion are often not easy, so don't agree on a whim."
Lin Sanqi nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Uncle Shen, I will do what I can. You know, I'm not very interested in being an official or making money."
"Okay, just keep it in mind."
Dean Shen is still very worried. If it is a trouble in the hospital, he has the ability to help.
But now Lin Sanqi is involved in higher and higher levels, and has made deals with relevant departments. This is too terrible. He is afraid that if he is not careful, he will be eaten up and wiped out. By then, Shen Guoming will be powerless.
In the X-ray room, Leader Jing walked around the brand new X-ray machine several times, extremely happy.
"Lin Sanqi, how much did you pay for this X-ray machine?"
Lin Sanqi said unconscionably, "150,000 yuan per unit. This might seem a bit expensive back home. After all, this isn't imported through normal channels..."
“Not expensive!”
"ah?"
"150,000 yuan a unit, not expensive at all."
Leader Jing smiled as he looked at the X-ray machine:
"These 750 mAh X-ray machines can be used not only in medicine but also in the military. That's why they're currently embargoed abroad. Without your help, Lin Sanqi, we wouldn't be able to buy them even if we had the money. 150,000 is really not expensive."
In fact, there is another important reason why Leader Jing said it is not expensive.
Because Lin Sanqi did not ask for cash or gold, he simply used medicinal materials and jade as a substitute, and he still charged the market price instead of the wholesale price.
So it is said that the price is 150,000 yuan per unit, but for domestic users, it is just a matter of a few herbs and a few pieces of jade. There is just some transportation fee. What is the difference between that and buying it for free?
Is there any cheaper and more cost-effective deal in the world than this?
Since Lin Sanqi could get such a cheap machine, the leaders came up with a good idea to export and earn foreign exchange for our country as soon as they met. This is also what Leader Jing wanted to ask Lin Sanqi to do this time.
The leader has his own calculations, and Lin Sanqi also has his own calculations. An X-ray machine is said to cost 150,000 yuan, but in fact the value it creates for him is more than 150 million yuan. He has made a fortune.
Again, the boss felt he hadn't lost anything, but Lin Sanqi had definitely made a killing. That's a win-win situation! He won twice.
"Oh, haha, as long as the boss thinks it's not expensive, then I'm relieved. Everyone knows that I'm not interested in money, haha~~~"
If psychologists were around, they would definitely know that the more some people lack something, the more they like to shout about it...
Leader Jing suddenly lowered his head and looked around the corner of the X-ray before asking in confusion:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, why don't I see a nameplate on the machine? Which country is your machine from?"
Lin Sanqi was extremely brave at this time, not afraid of being shot at at all, so he said with his neck stiff:
"Boss, you don't know, I customized this machine. I specifically requested that it not have any trademarks or place of origin. I even requested that every button be labeled in Chinese, not foreign characters."
It was then that Leader Jing noticed the words "on", "off", "rotate up", "rotate down", "move left" written on the X-ray console...
Lin Sanqi's machines are all customized from an underground factory in Dongguan. Of course, they only have Chinese characters and no foreign languages.
It doesn't stop him from bragging and playing the patriotism card now.
Everyone was chatting casually when Leader Jing suddenly asked another strange question:
"Comrade Sanqi, do you know the current level of domestic production of medical equipment, especially X-rays, in our country?"
Lin Sanqi nodded:
"I heard from President Tu of Union Hospital and President Liu of Digital Hospital that we invented a 400 mAh X-ray machine last year, but we only made a few experimental machines and didn't go into mass production. Even Union Hospital can't get a 400 mAh domestic model."
"Then do you know why we haven't mass-produced it?"
“This, this…”
Lin Sanqi could guess some of the reasons, but it would be too embarrassing to directly tell the big boss that you are not strong enough and not capable enough, so he had to pretend to be ignorant.
"Is there a component we haven't completely mastered that's preventing us from mass production?"
Leader Jing found a chair and a group of people sat on it:
"I'm too old to stand. You two should sit down too. Comrade Sanqi, you don't know much about this, but Xiao Shen should know something."
Dean Shen nodded slightly, but thought to himself, "What do I know? I'm from a traditional Chinese medicine hospital."
"In fact, in 1952, the Shanghai Precision Medical Machinery Factory produced the first X-ray machine in China. Although it only had a 200 mAh capacity, it filled a gap in the country.
Of course, let's be honest now. 90% of the parts for this batch of X-ray machines were imported from the Russians, and the remaining 10% were manually filed by our eighth-level fitters, which was not easy.
At that time, we had just founded our country and the conditions were difficult, but everyone believed that as long as we overcame the first difficulty, then imitated Soviet-made machines and then achieved domestic production, this goal should be achieved soon.
As a result, there have been constant conflicts between China and the Russians in recent years. It took us eight years to upgrade from 200 mAh to 400 mAh. Damn it, we even defeated the Japanese in the eight-year war of resistance. It is so difficult to build a machine.
In the second half of last year, in November 1950, the Shanghai Precision Medical Machinery Factory finally succeeded in trial-producing a 400 mAh large-scale X-ray machine. Unfortunately, it was too late. Foreign countries were already using 750 mAh models, so how could we publicize our 400 mAh model and win glory?
Lin Sanqi thought so too. It's like you finally invented the pager, but then you find out that everyone in foreign countries already has a smartphone. What's the point of bragging then? All your previous investment has been wasted.
Technology is changing so rapidly.
Leader Jing was still recounting some past events:
"Even if we successfully develop the 400 mAh model, unfortunately, our core components, such as detectors, X-ray tubes, high-voltage generators, etc., are all imported and we cannot manufacture them ourselves.
As a result, Europe and the United States have now imposed an embargo on us, and our northern neighbors are probably going to turn hostile too. They won’t sell us anything anyway. Lacking key core components, how can we mass-produce this X-machine?..."
At this point, Dean Shen already understood what Leader Jing was up to.
Lin Sanqi, however, hadn't caught the hidden meaning yet and pretended to be a good student listening to the teacher's lecture:
"Hmm... Hmm... Hmm?" (End of this chapter)
