When Minister Li heard this, he slapped his thigh:
"Okay, Lao Shen, Xiao Lin, your help is so timely and great. To be honest, I was lying in bed last night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. All I could think about was how to make money and get machines.
Now that Bao'an County is willing to help us, my job will be much easier. Don't worry, I'll risk my life to ensure that every region has an infectious disease hospital within two years."
The old lady couldn't help but get excited. It was true that nowadays, whenever money was involved, it would not be a simple problem.
Shen Guoming continued:
"In addition, the new model I mentioned earlier is that Bao'an County is only a county after all. There may be a few pharmaceutical companies in the county, but how much money can Bao'an County make? This is really uncertain.
Money can definitely be made, but the problem is that this money is used to support various industries in the country, just like sprinkling sesame seeds on a sesame bun, which will not make any splash at all.
Instead of dispersing it, we should concentrate our money and efforts and invest all funds in health.
This is also derived from medicine and used in medicine, which is a perfect match for our profession. Minister Li, what do you think?"
Lin Sanqi understood as soon as he heard it, and thought that old ginger is indeed spicy.
The godfather was afraid that after the first $300 million was handed over, it would attract the attention of major domestic departments and systems, and then they would come one after another to extort money.
Don't doubt it, this is entirely possible. You can look at the IOUs from decades later for details.
Therefore, Shen Guoming's meaning is very clear, that is, the money earned by Bao'an County must be used exclusively for the development of medical and health services.
Minister Li's brain wasn't as quick as Lin Sanqi's, and he was a little slow to react:
"Wait, Old Shen, what you're saying is that from now on, Bao'an County will be the money bag for our Ministry of Health, and the profits you earn can only be used to develop domestic medical and health services. Which ones?"
Secretary Zhao Yuling's eyes flickered, she already understood the meaning of Shen Guoming's words.
But secretaries all know that they have to keep their mouths shut, so they prick up their ears and carefully take notes of the meeting.
Shen Guoming counted on his fingers and said:
"Generally speaking, anything that the Ministry of Health can manage is fine, such as the construction of new hospitals, the purchase of medical equipment, the training of medical staff, and the expenses of medical staff going abroad for study and inspection.
Another important part is the teaching funds of major technical secondary medical schools across the country.
Now, except for a few colleges and universities affiliated to the Ministry of Health, most of them are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, and a few are under the jurisdiction of the military, so these schools should still be funded by the government.
However, if a new hospital is to be built, Bao'an County can provide interest-free loans to help local governments build it, including the necessary training costs. For example, the current plan to build a new infectious disease hospital is underway."
Minister Li asked in confusion, "Why not just pay for the hospital construction? Do we have to stick to the loan model?"
Shen Guoming laughed and waved his hand:
"Give the money to the local government, Minister Li. Can you guarantee that this money will be used to build a new hospital? And not diverted to other uses?
Even if the funds are not diverted for other purposes, the money for building the new hospital is paid by Bao'an County. The original plan was to build one hospital, but now the plan has been changed directly to 50 hospitals. Anyway, the money is not paid by themselves.
Minister Li, don't doubt the local tricks. No one will care about money that is not their own. This will only result in huge waste and will also drag down the finances of our Bao'an County.
So when we lend money to local governments, at most we don't charge interest, but the principal must be repaid. This will give local governments some consideration and encourage them to plan hospitals from a realistic perspective, rather than acting haphazardly.
Minister Li chuckled:
"Aren't you afraid you won't get the money back? Speaking of locals, they're quite good at cheating."
Lin Sanqi also laughed:
"If the local government does this, the only ones who will suffer are the local government. You can cheat me once, but I will never give you a second chance.
As long as there is a place that has harmed us, we will refuse all support in the future and will never recover.
We must make this clear in advance, and there are limits on the number and amount of loans that can be made at one time, and it won't be left to the discretion of the local authorities."
Minister Li nodded, feeling very happy.
If we follow the "counterpart model" of Lin Sanqi and Shen Guoming, then the only one in the country that will get the meat is the Ministry of Health.
This is absolutely a great opportunity for the Ministry of Health. If Minister Li does not seize the opportunity, she will be the eternal sinner of the health system.
"Lao Shen, Xiao Lin, this model is great, I fully agree with it, haha.
Rest assured, our Ministry of Health will be your Bao'an County's backer in the future. As long as it's a matter related to the Ministry, we will definitely give you the green light and will not hold you back."
Shen Guoming reminded:
"Minister Li, the biggest challenge here is convincing your superiors to agree to this 'matching model.' After all, Bao'an County's annual profits are estimated to be over $1 billion, and they may not be willing to give all of it to the health system."
The old lady narrowed her eyes, already having a plan in mind:
"I wouldn't dare to think about giving all $1 billion to the Ministry of Health, but my bottom line is that at least half should be kept there. I will complain to the leadership about this, and you should also submit a report to the leadership. We will work on both fronts.
But the most important thing right now is to do a good job in this national tuberculosis training. I will then formally invite leaders to visit and we will show them firsthand the importance and irreplaceable nature of this model."
Lin Sanqi estimated that medical and health care and education investment have always been a heavy burden on the finances at all levels. If Bao'an County is willing to bear the national medical expenses, the higher-level leaders should not object.
Moreover, it is still unknown how much money Bao'an County can make in a year.
After all, the pharmaceutical factory has only built the first phase, and there are still second and third phases to be built, and the turnover has to be used to repay the loan (fake loan), which costs a huge amount of money.
So taking all these factors into consideration, Lin Sanqi felt that the "counterpart model" was very likely to be passed.
As for whether the leader will change his mind in the future and whether it will arouse jealousy from other departments, this is also easy to deal with.
Lin Sanqi controlled the finances of Bao'an County. He would make the financial statements look ugly and show very little profit on the books, and save the money for future emergencies.
Of course, Lin Sanqi would not embezzle the money.
He only takes one tenth, and that is one tenth. He must keep his word, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future.
This country will be in turmoil for the next ten years or so, and there will be many places where money needs to be spent. He has to help save some money, and Lin Sanqi is also worried about it.
The Hong Kong Lin family is invincible in the sand and gravel business. In the future, they can even directly enter the real estate industry, produce and sell their own products, which is the most profitable business.
Minister Li returned satisfied, but of course there was still a tough battle to fight in the capital.
Bao'an County Pharmaceutical Factory also began mass production of drugs step by step.
USA, Boston, 9:00 PM
Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard University, Infectious Diseases Division.
Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore are doing the final check.
Assistant Blake reported from the side:
"Professors, after coordinating with the hospital, we have now occupied the entire A5 building. We have prepared 10 wards with a total of 500 beds. All equipment and medical staff are in place.
In addition, we have drawn relevant medical personnel from the infectious disease department, respiratory department and other departments to re-establish a new "Tuberculosis Department", with Professor Theodore as the director of the department.
In addition, the renovation of the outpatient clinic has been arranged, and we plan to open a total of 20 clinics and start work at the same time tomorrow.
At the same time, I have also informed all doctors that starting tomorrow each doctor will be allowed to book 50 appointments. If there are too many patients, we will give them triple overtime pay."
Outpatient doctors in the United States can only see an average of four patients per hour.
This is because American medical tradition requires that each patient's appointment be booked for at least 15 minutes.
In addition to basic medical examinations and treatments, doctors also need to take the time to answer all of the patient's questions and provide scientific education.
Even just sitting with a patient and drinking coffee and chatting counts as working time.
Therefore, American doctors can only see about 20 patients in an 8-hour work day, including morning outpatient clinics and afternoon outpatient clinics.
Generally speaking, if an American can see 15 patients a day, he is considered a model worker. Most of the time, the number of patients a day is only in the single digits.
To put it nicely, it means that the doctor is careful in treating patients. To put it bluntly, the doctor is just lazy.
For example, when Professor Anthony was working in the outpatient clinic in Beijing, China, the number of outpatients he saw in a single day exceeded 150.
But at Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States, high-level specialists like him only have five outpatient clinics a day.
Therefore, the efficiency of seeing a doctor in the United States is very low. It usually takes more than a week to make an appointment, and if it is a specialist, the waiting time may take several months.
This time, Massachusetts General Hospital, in order to become famous, required 50 outpatients per day, which was definitely breaking the rules. (End of this chapter)
