Lingnan Hospital, Hong Kong.
Lin Sanqi hummed a little tune as he walked into his chairman's office. Just as he was about to sit down, he wiped the table worriedly.
Only after finding that there was no dust on the table did he sit down.
I thought it was great to be rich. Look, I haven’t had my period for several months, but there is still someone cleaning the house every day.
Before he could even have a sip of tea, Dean Feng Shiqi came to his door.
"Boss, do you still remember that you own a hospital?"
Lin Sanqi's face turned slightly red, thinking that if he was not a time traveler with the aura of a protagonist, otherwise with his attitude of fishing for two days and drying the net for three days, and not coming to the company for several months, the company would have gone bankrupt long ago.
"Old Feng, aren't you and my father watching over us? I don't trust others, so why should I trust you?"
Lin Sanqi had already authorized that all important documents and financial expenditures of Lingnan Hospital would be effective as long as they were signed by the boss's father, Dr. Lin Kushen, and the hospital director Feng Shiqi.
So in fact, it doesn’t matter whether the boss Lin Sanqi is here or not.
Even if he is there, it will not have any positive impact on Lingnan Hospital. A good company can still operate smoothly even if the boss is not there.
"By the way, Old Feng, how is the business at Lingnan Hospital after the Spring Festival?"
After Feng Shiqi sat down, his secretary brought him a cup of coffee. He took a sip and then said worriedly:
"Boss, let me put it this way. Other hospitals worry about having too few patients, but our Lingnan Hospital worries about having too many patients.
At present, all our outpatient clinics are full. If we did not give kickbacks to clinical doctors, they would be too tired to work. The number of outpatient visits per person per day exceeds 100.
The most terrifying thing is the emergency room. Our emergency room has actually become a 'night clinic'. Even patients from Hong Kong Island would rather take a boat across the sea to come to our Lingnan Hospital for treatment."
Lin Sanqi thought that when Lingnan Hospital opened, it displayed brand new rescue equipment.
Apart from anything else, the ventilator alone is something that other hospitals cannot match. It is a life-saving weapon.
"The patient population is overflowing?"
Lin Sanqi touched his chin and asked again:
"With so many patients, it's a good time for us to expand. Lingnan Hospital has run out of room for expansion, so our best option is to acquire other hospitals. You should keep a close eye on them and buy them when you get a chance. It doesn't matter if they're a bit expensive.
By the way, how is the recruitment plan going? My Baoan International Hospital in mainland China is about to open and needs a large number of clinical doctors.
Feng Shiqi smiled and said:
“We have no problem poaching people. With the salary at Lingnan Hospital doubled, all the doctors in Hong Kong want to work at Lingnan Hospital. If I wasn’t afraid of looking bad, I would have poached all the people long ago.
Also, boss, there's good news. We've received thousands of internship or training applications from students at prestigious medical schools around the world. You'll need to make the final decision."
Lin Sanqi became interested now.
It is different in foreign countries than in China. Medical students are free to do internships and doctors are free to do further studies. Schools or hospitals do not have any mandatory regulations.
Therefore, internationally renowned hospitals receive numerous applications every year from people who want to come for further studies or internships.
Students from small medical universities go to small hospitals, while students from top medical universities often apply for internships or further studies in the top hospitals.
The biggest benefit of this to the hospital is that it can select the best from this group of top medical students and keep them.
A hospital, after all, is a people-oriented workplace that constantly needs top talent to join it so that the hospital's strength can continue to flourish.
In the past, only top hospitals such as Massachusetts General Hospital, Mayo Clinic, and Cliff Clinic were eligible for such treatment.
Now Xiangjiang Lingnan Hospital can also enjoy the qualification of "looking at the menu and choosing dishes".
"Okay, Old Feng, this is great. It means our Lingnan Hospital has been recognized by the international mainstream medical community, haha."
Feng Shiqi also laughed and said:
"That's not recognition. If nothing else, just the development of several antibiotics has already surpassed all hospitals in the world.
And according to your instructions, we have stipulated that every clinician must write a paper related to antibiotics. We have already started publishing them one after another, which is why our Lingnan Hospital is so famous. "
Plant a paulownia tree and attract the phoenix.
Lin Sanqi thought for a moment before speaking:
"In this way, we can open internships or further studies, and we also welcome visiting scholars from all over the world. However, we have one requirement: medical students must sign at least a five-year work contract with us before they can come for internships.
We can co-create research projects for visiting scholars, but the research team must include one of our people and produce research results or patents, of which Lingnan Hospital must own half. If they agree, they can come; if they don't, we will reject them."
When Feng Shiqi heard this, he felt like breathing a lot better.
In the past, it was extremely difficult for Chinese people to enter the mainstream international medical circle.
Even if a doctor who studies abroad stays abroad, he can become an ordinary clinician, but once it comes to core innovative topics, Chinese people are excluded.
The white people are just guarding against you. They want to make you a beast of burden, not a chess player.
The sudden rise of Lingnan Hospital is apparently the pride of Hong Kong people, but in fact, beneath its white skin lies a heart that will never turn yellow.
Lin Sanqi continued at this time:
"Also, I came back this time to prepare for the opening of the pharmacy. Once all 35 pharmacies in Hong Kong open simultaneously and provide unlimited supply of antibiotics and other fever-reducing and analgesic drugs, the pressure on your outpatient clinic will be greatly reduced."
Feng Shiqi frowned and expressed his concerns.
"Boss, the reason our hospital is so full right now is actually because of our unique antibiotics. If these drugs could be purchased at pharmacies, then our advantage over other hospitals would no longer exist."
Lin Sanqi took a sip of ice cola and waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
"Don't worry, how many antibiotics are there? I only sold one cephalexin in the pharmacy. As for azithromycin, moxifloxacin and other antibacterial drugs, they are still our secret weapons.
In addition, this time I also brought three more advanced and more effective antibiotics: imipenem, vancomycin, and ceftazidime.
Let me put it this way: there are almost no infections that cannot be cured by these three antibiotics. If these three drugs are ineffective, then the patient is doomed to die and there is absolutely no chance of survival.”
Feng Shiqi took a deep breath and thought to himself, Boss, this is a bit of a boast.
Of course, he also has emotional intelligence, so he wouldn't directly question it. Instead, he smiled relaxedly:
"Since you, boss, have a secret weapon, I feel relieved."
The next day, Tsim Sha Tsui, Nathan Road South.
Dongdongqiang, Dongdongqiang~~~
There was already a huge crowd of people in front of the Lingnantang Pharmacy flagship store, and several lion dance teams were performing non-stop to the sound of gongs and drums.
Elliott, Director of the Hong Kong Department of Health, Lin Sanqi, Chairman of Lingnan Group, and Lin Xuanshen, General Manager of Lingnan Tang Pharmacy, began the ribbon-cutting ceremony surrounded by a group of etiquette ladies.
Today is the day when all 35 Lingnan Tang pharmacies in Hong Kong open simultaneously.
Lin Sanqi's colleagues, smugglers from all over the world gathered in Hong Kong, waiting in front of every pharmacy, waiting for the pharmacies to open so that they could buy drugs.
Let’s put it this way, these smugglers are both happy and miserable now.
The good news is that these smugglers made a lot of money by smuggling cefuroxime and other drugs, and everyone became rich.
But the painful thing is that because the medicine is only sold in Lingnan Hospital and the quantity is limited, their sales have not been able to expand much.
On the one hand, there is a severe shortage of cephalexin in the market, and on the other hand, Lingnan Group has been reluctant to open up.
The direct consequence is that on the international black market, a box of cefuroxime that costs HK$20 has been sold for US$500 a box.
Even so, there is still no demand for it.
Pharmaceutical companies from various countries have also repeatedly contacted Lingnan Group to purchase agency rights, but the Lingtang Group has always been ambiguous, neither agreeing nor rejecting.
Lin Sanqi just wanted to keep them hanging.
It is not a good business to be in a hurry to do business. If Lin Sanqi takes the initiative to seek distributors from various countries to help promote cephalexin, he will definitely be severely ripped off.
I didn't see any anti-tuberculosis drugs. The retail price in the United States and Europe is 10 times the wholesale price.
Lin Sanqi didn't think about having the meal alone, but he hoped to get a bigger piece of the pie. After all, he was now one of the people eating at the table, so naturally he wanted to have control over pricing.
It was bustling outside, but inside the pharmacy, the sales clerks who were recruited from the Tiu Keng Leng refugee camp were all extremely nervous.
After all, these people all came from the mainland. In the 1960s, the mainland and Hong Kong were simply like heaven and earth.
Just like a farmer who has just moved to the city and arrived at a new environment, he will inevitably feel uneasy.
Zhou Hanzhang, the female college student who swam to the Hong Kong River with her husband holding a tire during the typhoon, was looking outside the door at this time.
Both hands kept twisting the corners of his clothes.
Qi Kezhi knew that this was a small gesture made by his wife when she was nervous, so he walked over and gently shook her hand, saying softly:
"Don't worry, the boss said we are different from the salespeople in other stores. We have an exclusive monopoly on medicines, so customers have to look at our faces.
If a customer dares to pick a fight with us, we can respond harshly and don’t be afraid of complaints.”
Zhou Hanzhang was still a little worried:
"But some Hong Kong people are very aggressive. If they're not satisfied, they'll curse and complain. And those foreigners are even more yelling and very scary. What if I don't do well, will I be fired?"
When Liu Mengxiong heard this, he burst into laughter:
"Xiao Zhou, take a look at the slogan hanging in the middle of our store. What's that?"
All the salespeople turned around and saw a red slogan on the lobby wall with the following words in large letters:
"Don't beat or scold innocent customers."
At this time, Zhang Danfeng burst out laughing:
"How come this slogan is the same as the ones we see in the supply and marketing cooperatives and restaurants in mainland China? Even the font and color are exactly the same."
Liu Mengxiong laughed and said:
"It must be the same. The boss said that you are not allowed to hit or scold customers if they are innocent, but you can do so if there is a sufficient reason.
The boss also said that these foreigners are all mean-spirited people. The more aggressive you are to them, the more cowardly they will become. If you show any sign of timidity, they will pounce on you like hungry wolves.
Finally, the boss said, if anyone complains, let them buy if they want, and leave if they don’t. If anyone starts a disturbance, they will be blacklisted and no longer sold to them.
When Zhou Hanzhang heard this, he slammed his hand on the counter.
"Okay, that's a relief!"
The other salespeople applauded after hearing this.
Since fleeing to Hong Kong, they have been living in fear. Not only do they have poor food and clothing, but they are also under great mental pressure.
Now that the boss Lin Sanqi is openly supporting our mainland compatriots who have fled to Hong Kong, everyone feels much more confident.
Qi Kezhi coughed lightly at this time:
"Everyone, pay attention. The gate is about to open. Everyone, be prepared for battle."
"good!"
"receive!"
Every young person fleeing to Hong Kong has a determined look in their eyes, ready to face the surging passenger flow.
Director Elliot couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that there were at least thousands of customers trying to rush to the pharmacy.
"Lin, it looks like you're going to make a fortune."
Lin Sanqi laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Director, we are all making money together. Don't worry, your share will never be less."
After Director Elliot laughed, he pulled Lin Sanqi to a corner.
"Lin, there's something I need to tell you. Your identity has been exposed. Do you hold dual citizenship? Are you also a high-ranking official in mainland China?"
Lin Sanqi knew that his identity could not be concealed at all.
When he was a small cadre in the mainland, the Hong Kong Eagle government didn't care even if it knew about it and turned a blind eye.
But now Lin Sanqi's rank has been raised. Although domestic newspapers have not disclosed his position and identity, with so many hidden spies in the mainland, this matter is not difficult to investigate.
Lin Sanqi knew that Director Elliot came to tip off the police, and it might be that he had some testing intentions.
Fortunately, among all developed countries, the Eagle Country has always had good relations with the mainland because of the Hong Kong issue, and the two sides have a tacit understanding.
Otherwise, based on what Huo Daheng did, he would have been shot down countless times without even knowing it. His smuggling was actually a tacit agreement between the two parties.
The same goes for Lin Sanqi. The Hong Kong Eagle Group did not touch him because they were afraid that he was a spokesperson for the mainland.
"Director Elliot, you can rest assured. As you can see, my business is mainly concentrated in hospitals and pharmacies, and it won't pose any threat to you."
Director Elliot nodded, thinking that if you were to do other sensitive business, Hong Kong Eagle would have turned against you long ago.
"Also, my business only represents me and the people behind me, not the country. This is the same as China Resources and Yindu. I just want to make some money. You can rest assured about this as well."
In the 1960s, there were actually quite a few public companies from the mainland in Hong Kong.
For example, China Resources is engaged in import and export business in the mainland, including the import of grain, which was most urgently needed in the country during this period, and it was also through China Resources, which was equivalent to the mainland's money bag.
Yindu is a left-wing entertainment company involved in film, newspaper, radio and other businesses. On the one hand, it does publicity work, and on the other hand, it is also a small money bag.
Director Elliot understood immediately and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lin, I understand if you say that, but you have to promise not to do anything out of line, because since you started to grow bigger and stronger, you've been targeted and it's easy to be investigated.
As long as you promise to only engage in the pharmaceutical business, that will be within our tolerance. In the spirit of friendship, we will turn a blind eye. Do you understand me?"
Lin Sanqi certainly knew where Hong Kong Eagle's bottom line was, which was that you can make money, but don't get involved in politics.
Lin Sanqi's lie was actually a pretext to deceive them that he was the mainland's money bag and had someone behind him.
If it is just the Lin family's own business, I am afraid there are many people in the corrupt Hong Kong Eagle government who want to take action.
At this time, Lin Sanqi took out a check from his pocket and put it into Director Elliot's hand.
"Mr. Director, here's £200,000. I know you must be under a lot of pressure, so this is my personal thank you. We are friends and we will always be friends.
In addition, here is a check for 500,000 pounds. Please pass it to the new boss Murray MacLehose and tell him that we can all make money together through harmony.
Finally, please tell Murray MacLehose that Xiangjiang is also my friend. As we say in Chinese, I will not do anything that would destroy the pot while I am eating."
In fact, what Lin Sanqi was thinking in his heart was that Hong Kong is also a part of our motherland, and Hong Kong people are also our compatriots.
As long as we wait until Hong Kong returns after 1997, we will all be one family.
Then Lin Sanqi would not do anything to destroy the prosperity of Hong Kong. After all, Hong Kong's stability is beneficial to the mainland, whether in the 1960s or after 1997.
As for the minority of Hong Kong people who do not recognize their Chinese identity, or those white-skinned foreigners, they should be killed, buried, and sunk into the sea. He will not show any mercy to them.
More importantly, Lin Sanqi will not tell anyone.
When the wind blows, he needs to find a safe haven to ensure the safety of himself and his family.
Hong Kong is the best choice because he has a certain ability to protect himself here.
He has money and connections with senior executives at Hong Kong Eagle. If all else fails, he still has thousands of veterans. If he's really pushed to the limit, he can definitely stir up trouble.
But if he goes to the United States or the United States, Lin Sanqi will definitely not consider it.
First of all, the top politicians and business leaders in these developed countries in Europe and the United States have no bottom line at all.
Lin Sanqi's status in the mainland, coupled with his immense wealth, would definitely make him a fat pig in the eyes of the other party. Someone would definitely want to seize the Lin family's assets, patents, and so on.
The best way to rob you is to fabricate a false charge to arrest you, and then have you die in prison for no apparent reason, or even to kill the entire Lin family.
By then, Lin Sanqi will have the golden finger of time travel and can just leave.
What about his wife, children, parents, etc.? These are things he cannot give up.
Another thing is that if Lin Sanqi took his entire family and fled to the United States, he would not be able to explain himself even if he had ten mouths, and would be regarded as a traitor by the mainland.
If we were able to come back to invest after the reform and opening up, it would have been in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
Twenty years later, Lin Sanqi is theoretically middle-aged, and his parents in this life, Lin Kushen and Jin Caifeng, may not be able to return to their hometown.
Therefore, Lin Sanqi’s best choice is to stay in Hong Kong, which is also the territory of our country.
He must earn money well and strive to become a qualified money bag, and then he will have the chance to return home in glory. (End of this chapter)
