Lin Sanqi did have the idea of establishing a separate hospital.
There is no need to mention the benefits. The newly built hospital can get a large number of staff, and then his group of subordinate doctors and nurses can become regular employees and stay in the capital with good reason.
More importantly, with his ability to make things happen, he became the head of a hospital and had the final say in everything.
For a trader like him who travels between two worlds, nothing could be more convenient than this.
Anyway, these days there is no centralized drug procurement, no health finance center, no bidding system, etc. As long as you can pay wages on time and employees don't make trouble, your superiors basically won't bother you.
This level of freedom is not comparable to that of hospitals decades later.
Of course there are disadvantages as well, that is, will the old employer, the Chinese Hospital, be willing to let go?
He is very important to the Chinese medicine hospital now, not only because he can make money and invent, but more importantly, he can bring many benefits to the hospital staff.
Just like this Chinese New Year, the New Year benefits he got are unique in the country.
As soon as Minister Li finished speaking, Lin Sanqi's face lit up with joy, while Dean Shen's face darkened.
"Old Shen, you are a traditional Chinese medicine hospital after all. It is not legitimate for a traditional Chinese medicine hospital to conduct Western medicine research. Not only would the Chinese people not understand it, but foreigners would also not understand it. This is the biggest limitation of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals.
When we first established the Chinese Medicine Hospital, one reason was that our country needed a professional Chinese Medicine hospital, and the other was to accommodate renowned doctors from across the country and to maximize their potential. So you're just going back to your old ways."
Lin Sanqi thought that decades later, although it was called a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, it would actually be no different from a comprehensive Western medicine hospital.
Dean Shen glanced at Lin Sanqi next to him and sighed:
"A golden fish cannot stay in a pond. Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will become a dragon. I was mentally prepared. When Comrade Lin Sanqi can conquer tuberculosis, perhaps it will be the time for him to leave the Chinese Medicine Hospital. I didn't expect that day to come so soon."
Minister Li quickly comforted:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi's success is the result of the joint efforts of all the leaders and staff of the Chinese Medicine Hospital. The organization will never forget your contribution. Please go back and comfort the staff of the Chinese Medicine Hospital."
Dean Shen nodded and patted Lin Sanqi on the shoulder:
"It's good to establish an independent hospital. It will be beneficial to your growth and future work. I agree with this. If foreign guests come to visit and see that it is a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, I guess they will be full of questions and doubts.
It's an infectious disease hospital, a perfect fit. A national infectious disease hospital tackling an international medical challenge—that's the best explanation. Therefore, I agree with your Changping branch becoming independent, giving you a broader horizon."
What can Lin Sanqi say? Now is not the time to be happy. That would be a sign of a villain succeeding.
"Don't worry, Dean Shen. We're getting divorced but not leaving our family. In name, we're two hospitals, but in reality, we're still one family. Look at my parents and my two brothers, they're both in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Now that the country needs us to separate, let's respond to the country's call."
Hehehe~~~~
Everyone in the conference room chuckled.
Minister Li also laughed and said, "What a great person who didn't leave home after getting divorced. Comrade Xiaolin is young but has a lot of experience."
Every word the leader said had profound meaning. In fact, the old lady’s emphasis was on the last sentence. She was very experienced and shut up those potential opponents.
Of course, Lin Sanqi also had his own requirements and three rules.
"Minister Li, leaders, I fully agree with your proposal to build a new infectious disease hospital. In fact, our Changping branch has always been responsible for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, including last year's influenza epidemic, which we also eliminated.
But the leaders also understand that I'm young, and young people are inevitably impulsive, which can easily offend the older colleagues. At the Chinese Medicine Hospital, President Shen and Vice President Ji are very tolerant of me, so we have a pleasant working relationship.
Therefore, after the establishment of the Infectious Disease Hospital, a new team will definitely be established. I personally hope that my colleagues will not be too aggressive, but rather willing to work hard and show care for us young people. Together, we will build a strong hospital."
As soon as these words were spoken, the leaders in the conference room all looked thoughtful.
Hospitals during this period had a distinct characteristic, which was their strong military background.
For example, the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Shen Guoming, is a retired soldier. The director of the Digital Hospital, Liu Shengli, and the directors of Zhonghe Hospital, Friendship Hospital, and Puren Hospital all came from the military.
Even though Tu Bin of Union Hospital is not from the military, the three vice presidents of Union Hospital are also from the military.
Lin Sanqi was most afraid of having a rough and rude guy like Li Yunlong as his teammate, who was rude and unreasonable, otherwise the job would not be done well.
It would be fine if he couldn't do his job well, but Lin Sanqi was most afraid that if he tried to resell some supplies, people would stare at him like lanterns and not give him any chance. Then what was the point of him being the dean?
Again, Lin Sanqi's ultimate goal in traveling to the 1960s was to make a fortune and monetize his traffic. It would be best if he could make a small contribution to this era.
But he definitely didn't want to be confined to one hospital, that would be boring.
Vice Minister Zhang nodded in agreement.
"Young people are enterprising, which is why they were able to invent tuberculosis drugs and why they dared to go abroad to obtain the most advanced equipment. We old people don't dare to do this, let alone have the ability. So I think Comrade Lin Sanqi's concerns are justified."
Deputy Minister Zhang also serves as the Party Secretary and Discipline Officer of the Ministry and has a strong say in personnel matters.
Although Minister Li Dequan is a minister, she does not have much power in personnel matters. She has only been a member of the party for more than two years.
"Okay, since Comrade Lin Sanqi has made this request, our department will definitely give it serious consideration. My personal opinion is that Comrade Lin Sanqi can take on the roles of Dean and Secretary, and for the time being, there won't be a Vice Dean. He can run the Infectious Diseases Hospital however he wants. What do you all think?"
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, everyone in the meeting room started talking.
When a new hospital is established and there are so many vacant positions, everyone must want to place their own people there, even if it's just to take up a position.
Vice Minister Zhang also laughed and said:
"Alright, since this matter has already been decided and must be carried out, let's break the routine and let Comrade Lin Sanqi take on the responsibility alone. When the Infectious Disease Hospital is on the right track in the future, we will make adjustments to the team.
Another issue is the location of the new infectious disease hospital. Changping is no longer suitable; it's too far away and inconvenient for patients to see a doctor. If foreign visitors come in for inspections and have to travel more than two hours, it won't be suitable. We need to find a new location."
At that time, the urban scale of Beijing was within the current Second Ring Road. The Third Ring Road was already full of newly built factories, and the area outside the Third Ring Road was almost all farmland.
Needless to say, Changping is just like going on a business trip. If you don’t have a car, you can’t go back and forth within a day.
Vice Minister Xu, who was smoking, suggested:
"I know a good place, ready-made. Everyone knows the Dongyue Temple outside Chaoyangmen, right? A few years ago, the gunpowder factory next door exploded and destroyed it, so no one has lived there ever since. Last year, the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics took a fancy to it and planned to use it as an office space, and it's just been renovated."
The Dongyue Temple is quite large, easily accommodating several hundred patients. The former front hall could be used as an outpatient clinic. The key point is that there are no residents in the area where the gunpowder factory exploded, making it a perfect place to serve as an infectious disease hospital.
Dongyue Temple outside Chaoyangmen?
Lin Sanqi thought about it and knew where it was.
There is a Chaoyang Park outside Chaoyang Gate, where the largest black market in the east of the city is located. For a certain smuggler, the Chaoyang Gate area is very familiar and is a place he has to pass by every time.
The key is that Chaoyangmen is not far from Dongmianhua Hutong, only 4 kilometers away, so it is convenient to go home whether by bus or by bicycle.
At this time, someone in the meeting room raised concerns:
"Someone else chose this place first. They just renovated it, and now we've snatched it away. What if they don't want it?"
Minister Li then made the final decision:
"No matter what unit or individual you are in, you must obey the collective interests. Conquering tuberculosis is a major issue concerning the reputation of our country and a major issue for all mankind. Nothing is more important than this.
After the meeting is over, we'll go take a look together. If there's a suitable hospital, General Manager Zhou and I will personally go and ask for it. Oh, by the way, now that we have a location, Comrade Lin Sanqi, how many staff do you think the new infectious disease hospital should have?"
The issue of staffing is a sensitive one. When the whole country is clearing out urban staff, if you want to add additional staff, I'm afraid this will require special approval from the central government.
Lin Sanqi certainly hopes that there will be as many staff as possible so that he can recruit back all the doctors who have been laid off from all over the country, or at least from the capital, right?
Almost all of these doctors have studied abroad or graduated from the few medical schools in China. They are definitely elite talents in the medical field. It would be a sin for them to return to their hometown to farm without even being able to become a production team accountant or a rural primary school teacher.
"Leader, I think the more positions the better. Of course, the central government is concerned that the city's population will be too large and there won't be enough food. So, I want 300 positions in the first batch. We can find food ourselves. We still have the Changping Farm, and I will never let a single employee go hungry."
Minister Li was very happy to hear this:
"If you can find your own food supply, I'll approve you for 1,000, not to mention 300. The higher-ups don't seem to be unaware of the difficulties of repatriating workers. They don't want to lay them off, but there's nothing they can do. These past few years, alas, have been incredibly difficult..."
Dean Shen became anxious and quickly raised objections.
"That's not right. If the Changping branch is allocated to the Infectious Disease Hospital, the Infectious Disease Hospital will be well-fed, but the staff of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital will not be well-fed. Xiao Qi, you can't burn your bridges after crossing the river."
The friendship boat capsized at any time... (End of this chapter)
