The patient was anesthetized during the operation and had no idea what was happening inside the operating room, so naturally there was no way for him to leak any information. But now that he is awake, he must be vigilant.
The three people came out of the ward and came to the operating room. At this time, the people from the infectious disease hospital had surrounded the operating room and prohibited outsiders from entering or leaving.
"President Lin, President Shen."
Lin Sanqi laughed and said, "Check the front and back doors, even the windows. Don't let a fly in."
Everyone laughed and said, "Don't worry, Dean, we all have our weapons with us."
Lin Sanqi nodded, and then led Dean Shen and his father into the operating room area.
After changing his clothes, Lin Sanqi was the first to enter the operating room. He turned off the disinfection equipment and ultraviolet light and turned on all the lights.
Dean Shen and Doctor Lao Lin were in the operating room together. They were both surprised to see a strange machine in front of them.
Dean Shen touched the surface of the machine, feeling the cold sense of technology on it and asked:
"Xiao Qi, I've never seen this machine before. Did you get it from your organization? It looks so impressive!"
Doctor Lin also showed a rare curiosity at this time, and circled around the milky white instrument with a bunch of cranes several times:
"Has foreign countries developed to this level now? This machine is obviously not an ordinary one."
Lin Sanqi thought that this machine only cost a few million yuan in 2014, which was not too expensive and basically all hospitals could afford it.
But in 1961, it was certainly not an ordinary item. It would be fine if it was just a machine, but the leak was a leak. With such a large laboratory there, it wouldn't be short of some surgical machines.
But this machine also requires a new technique, which Lin Sanqi doesn't want outsiders to know.
Once superiors or foreigners know that Lin Sanqi has this advanced black technology and a brand new surgical procedure, the advantages of laparoscopic surgery are so obvious.
Then he will be forced to become an emotionless surgical tool, performing surgery on various nobles every day.
How can he go out and do business? How can he monetize his traffic?
When performing surgery on foreigners, you can get red envelopes with a guilty conscience. Even if you can't get millions, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars will be fine.
But what if you're performing surgery on a prominent figure in China? Do you want a red envelope? A verbal compliment would be nice.
It is possible that the noble man's wife and children will think that you are a good dog, and that it is a great honor for you as a doctor to perform surgery on the noble man. They will want to become his person and listen to him in the future.
What is Lin Sanqi trying to achieve?
He traveled through time to make a fortune, not to be someone's dog.
After Lin Sanqi locked the operating room door, he turned on the laparoscope machine, and all the screens lit up at once.
"Uncle Shen, Dad, this is the case. My surgery this time is not a conventional open-heart surgery. I used a brand new method that is still in the laboratory stage, so I don't want outsiders to know.
The specific operation is actually the same as digging a tunnel in the mountains. I first make an incision near the lung lobe, then separate the tissue layer by layer, and slowly drill in like drilling a hole until I reach the lung.
Dean Shen squatted down and tried it:
"But how can you see clearly what's going on inside the incision? There are muscles, nerves, and so many blood vessels. If you make a mistake, it will be a serious accident."
Lin Sanqi opened the equipment box next to him, revealing the long tubes inside.
"First, I need to prepare a tube this long. You see, there's actually a miniature camera at the front end. The tube extends inside, and through the magnification of the television screen, you can see what's going on inside the human body."
After saying that, Lin Sanqi tried it out, and sure enough, wherever the tube pointed, an amplified "live broadcast" would appear on the screen, which again amazed the two old men.
"Then how do you make the hole? How do you do the surgery? Do you dig it out with your hands?"
"During surgery, I hold two tools in my hands. For example, when cutting tissue, I use an electrocautery knife in my right hand. However, blood and fluids in the human body can easily blur the lens, so I use a suction device in my left hand. That's it.
In addition, I also need to prepare different tools for different functions. Look in this box, there are needle holders, clamping forceps, surgical tweezers, angle scissors, reduction forceps, ligament forceps, foreign body forceps, surgical scissors, micro tweezers, vascular hooks, etc.
These tools essentially replace my hands, reaching into the lungs through the "tunnel." After I separate and cut off the arteries, veins, and bronchi connecting the lobes, I can remove the lobes intact through the tunnel and then close them layer by layer.
"Is it that simple?"
"It's easy to say, and it's easy to do. I'm just a novice. A skilled worker can complete an operation in half an hour."
"Miracle, what a miracle."
Dean Shen was amazed again after hearing this: "Xiao Qi, is it possible to promote this kind of laparoscopic surgery on a large scale?"
Lin Sanqi waved his hand:
"It will definitely be possible in the future, but not right now. After all, this kind of machine is extremely expensive and difficult to mass-produce. So, Uncle Shen, Dad, you have to keep this secret for me."
Dean Shen fiddled with a pair of surgical forceps and thought for a while:
"Xiao Qi, you're doing the right thing. If you can't mass-produce it and get it out to the outside world, then don't show off in front of others. If you're targeted, there are plenty of people who will use the interests of family and country to morally blackmail you. It will be difficult for you to hand it over, and even more difficult not to hand it over."
Lin Kucan also agreed:
"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; a pile that stands out on the shore will be swept away by the current; a person who stands out from others will be criticized by the crowd. Our Lin family has no power or influence, and we have no one to rely on. As a father, I am happy that you are outstanding. But you are too outstanding, and as a father, I am worried about you.
Remember, always have a way out and make self-preservation your top priority, especially if you're married and have children. As a father, I don't ask you to speak out, I just want you to be safe. It's necessary and imperative to keep your weaknesses under wraps.
Lin Sanqi thought that the readers of this novel wanted the protagonist to be a coward, but the protagonist ended up being high-profile all day long. On the contrary, these two old men were well versed in the art of cowardice.
"Uncle Shen, Dad, don't worry, I know what's going on."
Money has to be earned, you can't just hide away.
In a word, if you stand in the perspective of God, you will know in which years and months the wind and rain will start. You are not a fool, so won’t you run away in advance?
Not only will I have to run away, but I will also take my whole family with me. I already have a house and a car in Hong Kong, so why should I stay in China and suffer?
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi finally said what he had been holding in his heart for a long time:
"Dad, this is what I think. You and Mom are getting older. If something happens, you won't be able to hide or run away. As a son, I can't abandon my parents and run away, right?
Moreover, as my tuberculosis drug will be promoted around the world, this tuberculosis drug patent will be a treasure trove, and the profits involved may be hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.
In addition, I invested two million US dollars in Hong Kong, took out four secret recipes, and started organizing the production of medicines. This involved the issues of financial security and property preservation.
Now only my fifth and sixth uncles are left in Lingnan Hall in Hong Kong. They are loyal to our eldest wife, but our eldest wife has not been in Hong Kong for a long time. Who can guarantee that the children of my fifth and sixth uncles will not have any evil ideas and want to steal my patents and prescriptions?
So Dad, my suggestion is that you and Mom take advantage of this opportunity to go to Hong Kong first, manage the Hong Kong Lingnan Hall, continue to run your Chinese medicine clinic, and at the same time help me take care of the patents and secret recipes for tuberculosis drugs.
With a stabilizing force like you by our side, if there's any disturbance in the country in the future, the three of us brothers won't be left without help when we flee to Hong Kong. And to be honest, without you two old men, we might even be able to run away faster."
The operating room was completely silent, and Lin Kucan was shocked by what was said:
"Qizai, you're quite capable. It turns out you've been planning your affairs long before your death?"
Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "Dad, isn't that just learning from you? You asked Uncle Five and Uncle Six to go to Hong Kong early, wasn't it just to prepare for welcoming our family?"
The old man seems to care about nothing, but in fact he values his life the most. How could he leave no way out?
Even if he had come to Peking obediently, he would have known that the situation was stronger than him and he had to save his life first. Otherwise, if he had refused to come to Peking, he might not have been able to go to Hong Kong.
Of course, the most likely possibility is to send it directly to Qinghai...
Lin Kucan looked at Dean Shen next to him: "Brother Guoming, what do you think of Qizi's proposal?"
Dean Shen uttered four words from his mouth: "Prepare for a rainy day!"
"Old Lin, I think Xiao Qi's suggestion is a good one. First, his business in Hong Kong really needs someone he can trust to take care of it. Your tens of thousands of dollars might not be looked down upon by outsiders. But when it comes to hundreds of millions, the temptation is too great, and human nature cannot withstand the test.
But judging by the domestic situation, I don't think there will be any chaos in our country. It's just a natural disaster now, and I don't think this natural disaster will last forever, right? So Xiaoqi's worries are unnecessary, and you have your reasons for not leaving."
At this time, Lin Kucan found a stool to sit down and began to think about what his youngest son said.
"Qizi, if your mother and I go to Hong Kong, what will happen to your eldest brother's family and your second brother's family?"
Lin Sanqi had already prepared a plan in his mind, so he blurted out:
"My personal opinion is to bring my eldest brother's family to Hong Kong as well. As for my second brother's family, it depends on whether they are willing to go. If they are willing to go to Hong Kong, let them go. If they are not willing, then I will not persuade them too much.
And Dad, I think my second sister-in-law is a troublemaker. If our family is secretly discussing how to go to Hong Kong, and she reports it to the local authorities, then none of us will be able to escape."
Lin Kucan did not express his opinion. The old man’s principle was not to say a bad word about his wife.
"Tell me about your plan, when and how to get there?"
When Lin Sanqi saw that his father had no objection, he became interested:
"When will it be over? It should be delayed for a few years, but my personal opinion is the sooner the better. Now that the Americans and Japanese are here, I'm afraid the tuberculosis drugs will soon become famous all over the world. We urgently need someone to go to Hong Kong to take charge.
As for how to get there, that's simple. The third round of urban clearance has already begun this year, so let's reduce the task for Dean Shen. It's just the right time to clear you, your mother, your elder brother, your elder sister-in-law, and Jiageng back to our hometown in Huadu.
After you arrive in Huadu, it will be easy to go to Xiangjiang. Last time, it was you who introduced me to Director Pang Xingwen of Zhongshan County Hospital. He arranged for me to take the Zhuhai-Haojiang-Xiangjiang route, which is quite safe.
But if you left secretly, it would be difficult to return to the mainland before 1978. After 18 years, the world has changed so much. Who knows what will happen? Maybe you will never come back.
Therefore, I suggest that you go to Hong Kong in an open and aboveboard manner. I will then submit an application to Leaders Jing and Cheng for national approval. Once you arrive in Hong Kong, you can donate money and supplies to the country in the name of patriotic Hong Kong businessmen, which will also be helpful to the country.”
Dean Shen was amazed after hearing this:
"Xiao Qi, you're the bravest, but you can just apply directly. The leader likes people like you who are upright and honest. It just so happens that your family's loyalty has been tested before. I believe the leader should agree."
Lin Kucan obviously had another worry:
"Qizi, you suddenly told us to leave and said that the business in Hong Kong would be huge, but there is a serious problem here. With so much money pouring into our family all at once, can we protect it?
I used to have some friends in Hong Kong, but none of them could reach the top. If some capital really takes a fancy to your patent and wants to buy it at a low price, or if some local community comes to cause trouble for our family, how can I, an old man, and your eldest brother, a weak scholar, help you?
So, Qizi, if you want me to go to Hong Kong, I can go as your father, but after I get there, have you made any arrangements in advance? Do you have a security plan? You need to think about this in advance. Hong Kong is not like China. There are too many wolves and tigers. It's completely unreasonable.
Lin Sanqi touched his chin and thought that this was indeed a problem.
Originally, he planned to move his entire family to Hong Kong in a few years, so he could take his time making some arrangements.
But now he is planning to advance the plan and let his parents and his eldest brother's family (and perhaps his second brother's family) go to Hong Kong in advance, so some ideas must be implemented.
As I said, it's difficult for him, a time traveler, to not have his own team in this era.
Seeing his son's distress, Lin Kucan comforted him:
"So, Qizi, take it easy. Our family is doing pretty well in Peking now. Look, your mother and I live in Dongmianhua Hutong. We have air conditioning and a refrigerator, and we don't have to worry about food and drink. What's the difference between this life and back in Hong Kong?"
Lin Sanqi couldn't tell him that a peaceful life couldn't last. If he only thought about lying in the rain before the storm, what if it was too late?
Dean Shen coughed lightly at this time and came up with an idea:
"Xiao Qi, do you remember that when you went to Hong Kong to sell diamonds, the Xiangjiang Xinhua Society branch arranged 20 security guards for you? Perhaps you can think of a solution from this."
Lin Sanqi smiled bitterly and said:
"Those 20 men should all be active duty soldiers. They belong to the country, and protecting me is just their job. They can't possibly be my private soldiers, right? A country has its laws, and a family has its rules.
It's easy to recruit a group of desperate criminals in Hong Kong. Every year, so many mainland Chinese flee to Hong Kong, from all walks of life. However, these people are unreliable, and many of them turn against their masters. They will then kill their masters and abscond with the money, making it impossible to catch them.
For a personal bodyguard, loyalty is very important, and Lin Sanqi really doesn't dare to hire anyone casually.
Dean Shen rolled his eyes at Lin Sanqi and said speechlessly:
"Sometimes I think you're smart, and sometimes I think you're really stupid. Since you're planning to ask Leader Jing to send your parents to Hong Kong, why don't you apply for a group of veterans to go to Hong Kong as bodyguards?"
"Veteran?" Lin Sanqi said with a wry smile.
"Uncle Shen, I've actually had this idea in mind for a long time. Veterans are the most loyal and reliable, and their military qualities are the best. But I need hundreds or even thousands of veterans. Where can I find so many?"
Dean Shen clapped his hands and reminded:
"Hey, Xiao Qi, you've really hit the nail on the head. Think about it, every unit and every city is laying off personnel, even college students are on the layoff list. Do you think the military won't be laying off personnel?
Let me tell you, in the past, veterans could get jobs in public institutions after returning home, and at least they could make a living.
But the veterans in recent years have not received any preferential treatment at all. As the head of the General Logistics Department, Leader Jing is really worried.
So if you ask to be discharged from the army at this time, Leader Jing will definitely satisfy you and even give you as much as you want.
The key is that these veterans are given to your Lin family to support. If the country is in trouble, these people can be recruited back to fight again, right? So there is no reason for the leaders to disagree."
Lin Sanqi slapped his thigh and said, yes, as long as the army gives the green light, it will be a win-win situation.
Although the Lin family is from Huadu and can speak Cantonese, they are considered "cross-river dragons" when they go to Hong Kong.
To be frank, Hong Kong is a tiny country with limited resources. It is not even enough for the local forces to divide it up, so how can they allow outsiders to interfere?
So when the Lin family arrived in Hong Kong, if they had a few hundred thousand dollars in their hands and lived as a retired gentleman who never left the house, they might be able to live a peaceful life.
But as long as the Lin family wants to open a pharmaceutical factory, hold the secret recipe and patent, and can earn hundreds of millions a year, it will be a big piece of fat meat in the eyes of Hong Kong local capital and British capital.
At that time, it will not be a matter of being bitten, but a matter of swallowing the whole thing. If I say I will kill your whole family, then your whole family will be killed.
Lin Sanqi's original idea was to establish a "Big Circle Gang", similar to the 14K formed by the National Army. At its peak, it had about 200,000 followers, becoming the largest gang in Hong Kong. At its most arrogant, it directly went to war with the British army.
(Later it split into Heshenghe, Heanle, Hehetu, Heyi'an, etc.)
If Lin Sanqi also has such an organization, and it is composed of the most disciplined and combat-ready active-duty soldiers who can crush the US military, Lin Sanqi can use the golden finger to transport weapons in on a large scale.
We don't need a lot of people, just one or two thousand. Even if they are not enough to crush the British army and Hong Kong's local forces, self-preservation will definitely not be a problem.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi decided to have a good talk with the leaders when they came to observe the operation on the day, and try to gain their secret support! (End of this chapter)
