Zhang Fan opened it, and eighteen needles were neatly arranged on the black velvet satin surface.
It's not silver, it's gold.
Eighteen golden needles.
Gold is more inert than silver, so it is more effective for acupuncture.
However, it is quite soft and easily bends when cut into thinner pieces, so only highly skilled medical professionals can use it.
Xie Can, knowing that Xiang Zhi had caused trouble for Zhang Fan, stormed over angrily: "Xiang Zhi, you're being completely unreasonable!"
Xiang Zhi pointed incredulously at his own nose: "Are you talking about me?"
"Several patients who were on the verge of death were saved by Dr. Zhang. What difference does it make whether he has a medical license or not? In the past, people didn't have licenses, but they still treated patients, didn't they?"
"Foolish! Thank goodness I left, that hospital was doomed sooner or later!"
Xiang Zhi gritted his teeth, raised his chin, and left.
If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will.
Reality dealt him a heavy blow.
He called the hospitals that had previously tried to poach him, and those hospitals agreed almost without hesitation. However, not long after, he received a call saying he had been rejected.
Xiang Zhi sensed something was wrong and immediately pressed for the reason. After asking several people, someone finally told him that a background check had been conducted and they felt he was unsuitable.
He had no choice but to go to a less reputable hospital.
Xiang Zhi was unconvinced, feeling that as a medical doctor who had returned from the United States, he was sure he could find a job.
When Zhang Fan returned home, he neatly stacked the gold needles into a cloth bag. Just as he finished, he saw Li Chunyan return.
Li Chunyan was in a hurry, her face full of worry. When she saw Zhang Fan, she was surprised: "You... why are you back?"
Zhang Fan frowned slightly: "What happened?"
"It's nothing. I just thought you weren't coming home today either. Go take a shower and get some sleep."
"Um."
Seeing that Li Chunyan was in a hurry to get rid of him, Zhang Fan obediently went to the toilet to take a shower.
Although he was far away, he had exceptional hearing and could clearly hear Li Chunyan's voice.
Li Chunyan was on the phone: "I have 500,000 yuan left in my bank account. I'll use it for emergencies."
Zhang Fan thought Li Chunyan had been scammed, so he stopped her as she was leaving the house and asked, "Sister-in-law, where are you going?"
Li Chunyan hid the bankbook behind her back and said evasively, "No...it's nothing."
Zhang Fan: "Sister-in-law, don't be fooled."
"Impossible, we're all from the same village, how could they lie to me?"
Li Chunyan realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly shut her mouth.
Zhang Fan: "Has something happened in the village? I'm a villager too, tell me about it."
Li Chunyan: "Last time there was an earthquake in my area, many houses were no longer habitable. The authorities investigated and said that the area was an earthquake zone and not suitable for living, so they told us to move to another place."
"It cost a lot to repair the house."
Building a house costs at least tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is unaffordable for most villagers.
"The higher-ups have fenced off a piece of land, which is a wasteland. They say they're leveling the road so that houses can be built there."
Li Chunyan sighed: "But I don't know if the land there is good for growing crops. If we go there, we'll have to start all over again. Most of the people in the village are elderly and they don't want to leave their homes. I'm afraid the land there won't be fertile and won't produce anything."
"Moreover, I heard that it's even further from the county seat, making it difficult to find work there."
Zhang Fan understood and calmly said, "Sister-in-law, have you ever heard the saying, 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime'?"
“I’ve heard of it, but I’m making kimchi. You want me to teach kimchi making skills? We haven’t even sold all of our own kimchi yet, and anyone can make kimchi, so it’s not realistic.”
Zhang Fan: "When I was in school, I knew a professor who was doing research on farming rockfish. I heard that he was almost successful and was looking for people to farm them."
Li Chunyan's eyes lit up, and she asked in a high-pitched voice, "Are you talking about the rockfish that sold for 10,000 yuan a piece before?"
Zhang Fan nodded: "Yes."
“But,” Li Chunyan sighed, “Stone rock fish must be very expensive. What if the fish dies? Wouldn’t that wipe out our entire savings?”
Zhang Fan: "I'll figure something out."
He didn't understand business, so he went outside the courtyard, found a place where Li Chunyan couldn't hear him, and called Bai Rou'er.
When it comes to business matters, you can't go wrong asking Bai Rou'er.
"You can use a loan to cover the cost of raising the rockfish. If the fish is successfully raised, the cost will be deducted directly from the proceeds of the sale. And the rule is that it can only be sold to you."
"If we find that someone is not raising fish properly, causing the fish to die, or selling the fish to someone else, we will never cooperate with them again."
Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh, Bai Rou'er was indeed a natural at business.
If the villager doesn't follow the contract, he'll lose his chance to get rich quick, since raising a rockfish can make a lot of money.
Without hesitation, Zhang Fan immediately called Jiang Tao, who was very excited because he had published a paper on raising rockfish and had become a top expert in aquaculture in the country.
Moreover, Zhang Fan decided to give him a portion of the profits from raising rockfish. According to his estimate, he could earn 500,000 yuan a year.
He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night and went straight to Tianci Hospital to talk to Zhang Youde about it.
Concerned about Zhang Youde's health, the villagers kept quiet about everything that happened in the village, only reporting good news and not bad.
Zhang Fan knew Zhang Youde's health condition; only Zhang Youde's reputation could secure this deal.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Youde was so moved that tears streamed down his face. Wiping away his tears, he said, "Zhang Fan, I knew you were the most promising one."
He needed to go back and discuss the matter with the villagers, worried that something might happen to Zhang Youde, so Zhang Fan went back with him.
