Don’t think that Yuan Chengji is not well-aware. Everyone has selfish desires. If you don’t admit selfishness, then the only thing left is the Leshan Giant Buddha.
At this time, Dean Xiang suddenly said to Yuan Chengji:
"Old Li from the Second Hospital will retire in six months..."
When Yuan Chengji heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.
The so-called Old Li from the Second Hospital refers to Li Wenyong, the director of the Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
It is impossible for a leader to say such a thing suddenly for no reason. There must be a deeper meaning behind it.
Yuan Chengji is also a smart man. He understands that this is his superior who is appointing him. As long as Lingnan Hall successfully completes the task of acquiring the Third Hospital, the position of the director of the Second Hospital will belong to him, Yuan Chengji.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chengjie, who was originally hesitant, instantly became energetic:
"Director Lin, I understand your intentions. I'll take care of the employees. If anything unexpected happens, you can ask me, the dean."
Lin Sanqi stood up after hearing this and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Yuan."
Yuan Chengji was also very happy at this time: "No trouble, no trouble."
Although the Second Hospital is not as good as the First Hospital, the number of outpatient visits a year exceeds 2.5 million. Being the director here is much more glorious than being in the Third Hospital.
After leaving Ersha Island, Dean Xiang and Lin Sanqi sat in the back seat of the car and began to talk about sensitive issues.
"Dean Xiang, if I want to acquire the Third Hospital, give me a red line. What's the lowest price I'd have to pay?"
Someone said that he would not bargain for the benefit of the school, but turned around and wanted to get it at the lowest price. As expected, there was no need to bargain.
Dean Xiang is not sad about selling his father's land to his son, after all, the Third Hospital is not his personal property.
"The hospital's land cannot be moved. Regulations stipulate that it must be used for medical purposes and cannot be diverted for other purposes. So, apart from the land, the buildings above ground are not very valuable. 480 million is the assessed value in the school's archives."
Chinese medicine hospitals are different from Western medicine hospitals. They don't have any top-notch medical equipment, just some simple blood tests, CT machines, etc. They don't even have MRIs. There are almost no valuable things in the entire hospital.
480 million is a small amount for Lin Sanqi now.
But if he really gets it for 480 million, it would be disrespecting the school and the dean, so Lin Sanqi would definitely have to add other conditions.
"Dean, please ask Principal Su for me to pay the assessed price. Don't ask for more. I can take over the Third Hospital. As for the staff placement, I don't want any administrative staff, but I will take over all the medical staff who are willing to stay."
Dean Xiang nodded thoughtfully without saying anything more.
"Also, I'm prepared to put up $200 million in cash upfront and fully cooperate with your College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Just as we agreed before, I'll provide the funding, and you'll provide the talent. If there are any results, the credit will belong to the school and the professors, and the patents will belong to me. How's that?"
“200 million… dollars???”
Dean Xiang jumped up from his seat in shock when he heard this:
"Xiao Qi, don't lie to me, old man. With $200 million in research funding, our College of Traditional Chinese Medicine will instantly become the university with the largest single grant of funding in the country."
Lin Sanqi is planning to test the waters with $200 million.
By then, as long as we can successfully develop a few drugs, obtain a few patents, and research a few effective drugs, the $200 million investment will be just a drop in the bucket.
Even if the experiment fails and the money invested is wasted, it won't hurt him too much. He can just take it as a lesson learned and stop messing around in the future. He can just be a middleman.
"Dean Xiang, if you can show me that $200 million is well spent, then $500 million, $1 billion, and I'm not bragging. I can always take out this money and I won't go back on my word."
Dean Xiang's face was already red and warm, and his blood pressure was probably at least 200/100 at this time.
"Okay, okay, okay, Xiao Qi, I wasn't wrong about you. Let's go to school now. I'll report to Principal Su right away. In any case, we'll finalize these two matters tonight."
Lin Sanqi didn't expect that Dean Xiang was more anxious than himself, but this was a good thing. He also hoped that it would be implemented as soon as possible, so he said to the driver:
"Myna, go to Huadu Medical University."
"Okay!"
The driver was Lin Sanqi's cousin Lin Yaliang, the eighth child. He used to be a special forces soldier in a certain Tiger Commando Team. After retiring from the army, he went to work in the village property company. Later, he was recruited by Lin Sanqi to be his personal bodyguard.
Lin Sanqi was planning to have Lin Yaliang become the future head of Lingnan Hall's security department. For now, he would be the boss's driver and bodyguard, with an annual salary of 2 million...
After all, you have to take the bullet for your boss.
The car quickly arrived at Huadu Medical University and stopped directly downstairs of the administrative building.
In the principal's office.
Principal Su looked at Lin Sanqi as if he were looking at a moving gold ingot, completely forgetting how he had withheld his diploma last year.
"Student Lin Sanqi, haha, thank you so much. When good things happen, you think of your alma mater. As the principal, I am very pleased and happy."
I asked the dean anxiously:
"Principal, what about the Third Academy?"
Principal Su's smile remained unchanged:
"The Third Hospital's matter is easy to deal with. Before you came, I asked my secretary to pull out the financial data of the Third Hospital in recent years. It is completely a loss-making subsidiary. It lost 50 million last year alone.
If you hadn't forced the experts from the First and Second Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospitals to work at the Third Hospital, I'm afraid the Third Hospital would have closed down by now. Regarding non-performing assets, our school's stance is clear: we should close them down and sell them off.
Um, what was the appraisal price of the Third Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Dean Xiang blurted out: "480 million."
Principal Su tapped the table with his fingers:
"Student Sanqi, I'll make the decision. I'll give you half of the 240 million yuan for the Third Hospital. But you have to help the school improve its reputation.
Regarding your cooperation with the school, I certainly fully agree. This will greatly enhance the reputation of both your Lingnantang Company and our Huadu Medical University.
But in order to maximize your fame, Mr. Sanqi, can you announce to the public that you will invest 500 million US dollars to cooperate with our Huadu Medical University to start a scientific research project?
Of course, I don't mean you have to come up with 500 million in cash all at once. You can start with 200 million as planned, and then gradually increase the capital later. Anyway, that's how it works in society now, so we'll just...haha..."
Lin Sanqi understood. It seemed that Principal Su was desperate to gain political capital.
A $200 million collaboration is definitely a huge project among domestic universities, but it is not eye-catching.
But if this figure becomes 500 million US dollars, more than 3 billion RMB, it will definitely set a record for the largest single sponsorship amount for a domestic university, and it will definitely set the whole country on fire.
Not only will Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company become famous overnight, but Huadu Medical University will also be able to show itself in front of leaders and people across the country.
But is it really a good thing for Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company to become famous?
Lin Sanqi was a little conflicted again. His current policy was that Lingnan Hall did not advertise and made money through word of mouth. Because it was too famous, it would be easy for some red boys to target it.
what to do?
Lin Sanqi touched his chin, while Principal Su and Dean Xiang looked at Lin Sanqi nervously, who looked thoughtful, waiting for his final answer.
200 million US dollars is not a small amount. 500 million US dollars is a sky-high price, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.
At this time, Lin Sanqi thought of what he thought was a good idea.
Lingnan Tang is divided into several companies, and the main body cooperating with Huadu Medical University can be identified as "Lingnan Tang Chinese Medicine Clinic".
Because if Lingnan Hall acquires the Third Hospital, it will definitely have to expand its scale, and then it will need to serve the wealthy and powerful patients across the country, so the more famous it is, the better.
Just like the Mayo Clinic, it has become a deified hospital in the American medical community. Everyone knows that Mayo is the best hospital in the world, and it has attracted wealthy people from all over the world to seek medical treatment.
If Lingnantang Chinese Medicine Clinic becomes famous throughout the country and becomes the best Chinese medicine hospital in the country, its patients will probably not be limited to the south or Hong Kong and Macau.
If all the patients in the country rush to Ersha Island, then all the money in the country will flow into Lin Sanqi's pocket like water.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi came back to his senses and said to the two commanders with a smile:
"Principal Su, I agree to the $500 million you mentioned, but I'll deposit $200 million into the account first, and the subsequent $300 million will depend on the progress of the project.
If there are no patents or results, I will withdraw my investment. If the project meets my expectations, I can invest not only $300 million but also $3 billion.”
Principal Su was delighted to hear this: "Great, great, Sanqi, on behalf of the school, I thank you." (End of this chapter)
