In the director's office of Ormond Hospital, only Director Eric, Lin Sanqi and Director Elliot were left.
Lin Sanqi picked up the coffee and took a sip, feeling completely relaxed.
Now he already knows that the foreigners are greedy, extremely greedy, and have no bottom line or professional ethics, and they sell out their bosses without any hesitation.
So what's the worry? It's simply a matter of how much kickbacks to give, not a fundamental question of whether the hospital will sell the drug.
Feel relaxed.
In fact, what Lin Sanqi didn't know was that if Director Elliot hadn't acted as a middleman, Dean Eric would definitely have rejected all temptations with a righteous look.
After all, he also had to be on guard against the group's top management stinging him, and he absolutely did not dare to express his attitude easily.
The foreigner was just greedy, not stupid. Besides, who wouldn't be a smart person to become the dean? His IQ was definitely higher than Lin Sanqi's.
Dean Eric was already briefing Lin Sanqi at this time:
"Lin, our hospital currently has over 500 employees, including approximately 300 registered doctors and nurses. If you really want to acquire our hospital, I estimate that many highly qualified doctors will leave."
Lin Sanqi expressed his understanding:
"Doctors in private hospitals are all like this. If they don't see a future, they'll leave. After all, there are so many hospitals in Hong Kong, and they'll go where the salary is highest. If they want to leave, they can leave. I don't mind."
Lin Sanqi really didn't care. He was ready to come up with advanced antibacterial drugs that had never appeared in this era. Even a mediocre doctor could become a miracle doctor.
Moreover, Lin Sanqi's plan is to take advantage of the fact that antibacterial drugs are still new and are not included in the antibiotic supervision, so there is no need to strictly control prescriptions.
Then we will open pharmacies all over Hong Kong and sell Lingnan Tang’s secret medicine, including cephalexin, moxifloxacin and azithromycin, three antibiotics. You can buy as much as you want, no limit.
This will attract patients from all over the world to buy the product, and he won't have to worry about not being able to enter foreign markets, and he won't have to give any concessions to foreign distributors.
As for the money earned by Xiangjiang Hospital and Pharmacy, except for the purchase money paid to Baoan Pharmaceutical Factory, all the profits belong to the Lin family.
Yes, Lin Sanqi is also prepared to be selfish for once. While he is still in this world, he will make more money for the Lin family and stop being a saint and hand over all the profits.
If they really have a lot of money, they can donate it to the mainland in the name of patriotic Hong Kong businessmen in the future, or wait until the reform and opening up to invest in the mainland first and open a White Swan Hotel in Huadu. This will be more beneficial to the Lin family.
For some people in China, they don’t cherish their own people at all, but they keep flattering foreigners or Hong Kong people.
Lin Sanqi has decided that the Lin family must firmly establish the brand of a patriotic Hong Kong businessman and can no longer consider themselves mainlanders, so as to avoid living in fear of being liquidated all day long.
This is also the best way to quickly escape from the storm in a few years.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heated, Director Elliot prepared to get to the point and asked bluntly:
"Lin, if you really want to buy Ormond Hospital, how much are you willing to give to Dean Eric and me as a thank you?"
Lin Sanqi understood that Westerners prioritized business over personal relationships, and that it was best to be direct with the quote to avoid misunderstandings.
But Lin Sanqi couldn't just ask for a price. He had seen how greedy the foreigners were, and they would not show any mercy when it came time to rip him off.
"Director Elliot, Dean Eric, we're all friends, so I'll be honest. How much benefit I can give you depends on how low the price the hospital sells to me.
The lower the transaction price, the more benefits I can give you. On the contrary, if I buy this hospital at the market price, then I think my contribution will be meaningless. What do you think? "
Director Elliot nodded and smiled:
"A very reasonable deal, Eric, don't you think?"
Dean Eric did not have the aloofness of a senior doctor at all. Instead, he started bargaining like a businessman:
"Lin, take a look at this. This is the asset appraisal of our hospital. The current market value of our hospital is 10 million pounds, including the permanent ownership of the land and buildings, as well as the advanced equipment within the hospital."
After saying that, Dean Eric asked his secretary to bring in two large boxes filled with detailed fixed asset valuations.
Lin Sanqi flipped through the book a few times, but since he couldn't understand it, he put it down and just calculated in his mind:
At this time, the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars to British pounds was 16:1, which is 160 million Hong Kong dollars.
HK$160 million is definitely too high for this hospital.
Lin Sanqi understands the evaluation routine. The more money you pay to the third-party evaluation company, the higher the asset evaluation will be; conversely, the less money you pay, the lower the evaluation will be.
So if you go by the appraisal price alone, you'll be getting ripped off.
But the price of assets depends on the market. If many people are interested in them and everyone scrambles for them, the transaction price will naturally be high.
But if the assets are not in demand and cannot be sold, they will naturally continue to depreciate and can be obtained at a lower price.
It's similar to stock trading.
Dean Eric saw that Lin Sanqi was silent and thought that he was dissatisfied with the offer, so he explained:
"But with a £10 million estimate, we've left plenty of room for negotiation. Since you, Lin, are Elliot's friend, you're also Eric's friend. Let me tell you, the group's reserve price is HK$100 million."
Buying a hospital for 100 million is actually still expensive.
You have to know that the 1960s was still dominated by British capital. At that time, Li Huanggua was still selling plastic flowers, Zheng Zhubao was still his son-in-law, and He Hunblood was still fighting in the underworld, and none of them had made a fortune.
The earnings are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
Therefore, one hundred million is a huge number for any Chinese-funded enterprise and it is difficult to bear.
No wonder the Ormond Hospital was not sold between British companies and was eventually forced to be acquired by a Chinese company. This was a very shameful thing for the noble white people.
Dean Akeley continued:
"But Lin, if the hospital is sold at the lowest price, it will put enormous pressure on me. The board of directors has ordered me to sell the hospital for as high a price as possible. That will be my credit, and my reputation as the last dean will be preserved.
But if the selling price is too low, the board of directors will not look favorably upon me, and it will be almost impossible for me to find a new job in Hong Kong. In your Chinese terms, I will be a defeated general.
So Lin, you have to compensate me, and I won’t ask for more. Just give me 500,000 pounds, and I promise to give you the lowest price.”
8 million Hong Kong dollars, this price can buy a high-end villa in Repulse Bay, where the wealthy gather in Hong Kong Island. The medicines sold by Lingnan Tang Pharmacy in a year are not enough to make this money, and you still say it is not enough?
But that's not how it works. Anyway, Lin Sanqi makes money quickly, and what he wants now is efficiency.
Quickly buy out the hospital and quickly promote antibiotics. How much money do you want to make then? There's no need to haggle over a small amount of money.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi reached out and shook Dean Eric's hand firmly:
"Five hundred thousand pounds is no problem, but I have one requirement, which is to complete the transaction and all the transfer procedures within half a month."
Commissioner Elliot shrugged.
"Lin, no problem here. I can get all the formalities done for you within a day."
Dean Eric was also very happy, so he came up with a clever idea:
"Lin, you want to get the lowest price, but it's definitely impossible within half a month. Don't forget that capital is greedy. The entire acquisition transaction cannot be completed without more than a dozen rounds of negotiations. The Bel Ormond Consortium will not give in easily.
But I have a solution. You send someone over here immediately and arrange for hospitalization under the name of appendicitis. I will arrange for my confidant to treat the patient personally, and I will be responsible for falsifying all the examination reports and hospitalization records.
Then we can have a serious medical accident, resulting in the patient's death during emergency surgery, and I will also be responsible for finding a fake corpse.
When the autopsy report comes, Elliot, the medical appraisal will be handed over to you. The responsibility will be determined to be the hospital's complete fault, and they will bear 100% responsibility.
Then, Lin, you arrange a group of people to pretend that the family members come to the hospital to make trouble, and ask for a compensation that the hospital cannot accept, 2 million, 5 million, you can name it. The bigger the fuss, the better. You can also invite reporters and media to come and report on it.
Our parent company, the Bel Ormond Group, was already impatient with the hospital business. Now that something has happened, they will definitely be eager to get rid of this non-performing asset so that they can quickly acquire the hospital."
Director Elliot was not at all surprised by this idea. It was obvious that he did this often.
"OK, leave the rest to me, you actors can handle it yourselves, haha."
Lin Sanqi couldn't help but give a thumbs up, thinking that there was a saying that was indeed true: any strong fortress must be breached from the inside.
"Okay, Dean Eric, let's have a pleasant cooperation."
"Happy cooperation!" (End of this chapter)
