The leaders of the Third Hospital were dumbfounded, each with a resentful expression.
Lin Sanqi, however, acted as if it was none of his business. It was actually he who took the initiative to propose the acquisition of the hospital, and he was covering for the dean.
Dean Xiang pointed to the hospital outpatient hall at this time and said earnestly:
"Xiao Yuan, look at our Third Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The number of patients is getting lower every year. The number of outpatient visits is only one-tenth of that of the First Hospital. Moreover, you don't have an inpatient department, which leads to a further decline in patient resources.
The hospital team has been together for five years now. Think about it: how have you fared in these five years? How much do you need from the school each year? We originally hoped you would earn some money to contribute back to the school, but instead, we've given it back to you.
Of course, I know that it’s not entirely your fault that the hospital has fallen into this state today, but I think it’s not a solution to let it continue to deteriorate year after year. We always need to make some changes, right? "
Yuan Chengji swallowed his saliva and raised his objection with difficulty:
"Director Xiang, our Third Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has a history of over 30 years. We currently have 267 employees. If we rashly change the system, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the employees. After all, it will be difficult to reassign them to new jobs."
What is the biggest difficulty in reforming state-owned enterprises? The problem lies in people.
Southwest Medical Equipment Company, which purchased the production line from Lin Sanqi, would rather build a new factory in Chengdu than renovate and upgrade the old factory.
It is because there are too many workers in the old factories, they are too prone to causing trouble and opposing any reforms and changes.
Several middle-level cadres nearby also complained:
"Director Xiang, the hospital's performance is currently poor, and the staff's income is already lower than that of other hospitals. If we restructure it, I'm afraid the staff will be uneasy."
"Yes, the difference between a public hospital and a private hospital is too big, and the medical staff may not be willing to stay."
"Dean Xiang, you have to think twice before doing anything about this."
Dean Xiang pursed his lips, said nothing more, and just waved his hand:
"Whether it will be converted or not is still uncertain. I want to sell the hospital, but Mr. Lin may not be willing to buy it. Building a new hospital isn't a big deal these days. I don't need to tell you how well the doctors at Lingnan Hospital earn, right? They're not worried about a lack of patients."
When the people from the Third Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine heard this, they agreed.
Lin Sanqi didn't have to go to the Third Hospital. As long as he had the money, buying a hospital wouldn't be a big deal. The school should be begging Lin Sanqi for this.
Lin Sanqi also tried to smooth things over:
"Don't worry, we'll definitely evaluate whether to acquire the hospital. If we do decide to acquire it, we'll definitely let those who don't want to stay go, and for those who do, we'll definitely not let them suffer a loss in terms of income."
In fact, Lin Sanqi was thinking that if the acquisition really happened, all administrative staff would be laid off, leaving no one behind. He would definitely have to hire more professional managers.
On the contrary, the front-line doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and medical technicians can stay. A hospital always needs people to work.
Yuan Chengji sighed softly, then extended his hand towards Dean Xiang and Lin Sanqi:
"Then let's take Director Lin on a tour, hehe."
The Third Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is not too big. It takes less than an hour to walk around the hospital inside and out.
Lin Sanqi is satisfied with the Third Hospital. From his point of view, the outpatient building on the south side has a total of 6 floors and more than 100 consulting rooms of various sizes, which is enough for use.
The hospital also has an inpatient building. Although there are no patients hospitalized now, at least the rooms are there and can be opened at any time.
There is a building at the northernmost end of the hospital that can be used as a scientific research building. When the time comes, we can place the drug research team here and assign more security guards. It will be perfect.
The key is that the Third Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is located on a small island in the Pearl River and the environment is excellent.
This was a disadvantage for the Third Hospital, as it caused inconvenience for patients in transportation, but for Lin Sanqi, it was definitely an advantage.
After all, those who go to Lingnantang Chinese Medicine Clinic for treatment are all wealthy people or powerful people from all over the country.
These wealthy and powerful people always pay attention to privileges in everything.
If the hospital is crowded with people, people have to wait in line for half a day to see a doctor, and they have to make an appointment in advance to do a CT scan, this does not meet the requirements of the rich and the powerful.
They are not afraid of spending money. The rich have plenty of money, while those in power almost always have others pay for their expenses.
What they need is the best service and they are not short of money.
It would be best if there were only a few people in the hospital. When they arrive at the hospital, they can go directly to the doctor for treatment, get their medicine and leave. In this way, they can enjoy the service, their privacy is protected and they are in a good mood.
Of course, Lin Sanqi was also happy. Rich people came to see him for treatment, and wives of officials came to him for conditioning. Charging hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan for a course of treatment was no big deal. If he charged less, the patients would be unhappy, feeling that they were not enjoying the best medicinal materials.
The profit is terrifying, because Lingnantang's Chinese medicine is essentially free to buy.
He doesn't need too many patients. He just needs to hold on to these powerful people and slaughter them like pigs.
In the dean's office, the staff made three cups of tea and left, leaving only Dean Xiang, Lin Sanqi and Yuan Chengji in the room.
Dean Xiang looked at Lin Sanqi hopefully:
"Xiao Qi, how is it? Are you satisfied with the environment and facilities of our Third Hospital?"
Lin Sanqi took a sip of water and nodded slightly.
"I am satisfied, very satisfied. I have even thought about how to renovate and rationalize the layout after acquiring the Third Hospital."
When Dean Xiang heard this, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and the smile on his face became even wider:
"Haha, good, Xiaoqi, you're definitely worthy of being a student of Huadu Medical University. You didn't pick and choose and try to lower the price. I'm very satisfied with that."
Lin Sanqi also laughed and said:
"I'll definitely bargain with others, but for our school, even if it means I suffer a little, I won't let the school suffer. I also don't want to give you, Dean Xiang, an excuse to accuse others of me."
Dean Xiang knew that Lin Sanqi would be of great use to him in the future, so he would naturally not be wasted on money.
Seeing the old man and the young man chatting happily, Yuan Chengji became anxious and his face turned red as if he was constipated.
This feeling is like when your wife is flirting with another man and you can only watch with your hat green.
"President Xiang, your school needs to consider the actual situation of our hospital. Although selling a hospital is not the first time in the country, what will be the future of our more than 200 employees?"
Dean Xiang saw through all of Yuan Chengji's thoughts, so he nodded at him:
"As for the ideological work of the staff, I'll leave it to you, the dean. If any group behavior such as imitation or gathering occurs, I will definitely hold you accountable."
Yuan Chengji was about to cry, thinking that he had seen people being bullied before, but he had never seen anyone bullied like this.
This is equivalent to you playing with my wife and asking me to persuade her not to resist and not to call the police?
"Dean Xiang, this, this, I am the dean after all, I..."
Lin Sanqi suddenly said at this time:
"Teacher Yuan, the school is now interested in selling the Third Hospital and divesting its non-performing assets, and I also want to expand the scale of our Lingnan Hall Chinese Medicine Clinic. This is a perfect match for us, and we are both happy about it.
Of course, I also understand that as the dean, you must protect the interests of the staff. Otherwise, you will be hard-pressed to live like a human being and easily criticized by the staff. We all have dignity and we wouldn't do such shameless things."
Yuan Chengji nodded like a kowtow machine:
"Director Lin, that's exactly what I mean. Most of our hospital's staff are on the payroll. How to accommodate those on the payroll is no small matter. If it gets out of hand, it will be embarrassing for both the school and your Lingnan Hall."
Don't underestimate the ability of intellectuals to cause trouble. They have many tricks and can definitely make their superiors extremely anxious.
Lin Sanqi smiled and comforted:
"I'm a businessman. Business is about making money. Even if I want to make money, it's from patients. I won't make money by exploiting medical staff. So, don't worry, Mr. Yuan, I won't harm the public interest for my own benefit.
As for the issue of employee diversion, I have two suggestions. Teacher Yuan, you and Dean Xiang can listen to them and see whether they are more beneficial to the employees.
One is for medical staff who want to be transferred. The school will be responsible for arranging them to go to the hospital's affiliated hospital, or directly return to the school to teach. Fortunately, the Third Hospital only has more than 200 employees, so this placement will not be too difficult. "
"That's fine. It's reasonable to arrange school arrangements for regular staff."
Dean Xiang had already been bribed by Lin Sanqi, so he naturally had no objection to this suggestion. At most, he could just cram a few more people into the First and Second Hospitals.
You should know that the Medical College now donates more than 50 million yuan to the Third Hospital every year. Such a large amount of money is more than enough to support several employees.
"The second option is for medical staff to stay voluntarily. As the owner of Lingnan Hall, I can guarantee that everyone's income will at least double, or even multiply several times, compared to before.
"Our Lingnan Hall isn't a state-owned enterprise, and we don't have a staffing structure. If we want to retain talent, I know one way: spend money. If they're exceptionally talented, their income could potentially increase tenfold. It all depends on whether those with a staffing structure are willing to break free from their iron rice bowl."
Yuan Chengji lamented in his heart, "You, the staff, have found a good job, but what about him, the dean?" (End of this chapter)
