Chapter 103 Yang Moli & Buying a Small Building & Recruiting Soldiers &…
Although this was called a seminar, it was more accurately Brian's special show. Before it even started, his colleagues in the audience were already discussing his situation and knew everything about it, from the hospital he worked in to his resume and technical expertise. This information had been written on the blackboard in the cafeteria a month ago. Shu Jinyue, who had not been to the provincial hospital recently, could recite it by heart, so you can imagine how widely it had been spread.
"This is the first time that our Shilan Province medical community has invited foreign experts. I heard that the hospital spent a lot of money on them."
"I heard that he is also very famous in the medical field of Country M. Such a great expert should at least be the director of the People's Hospital in New York City, right?"
Shu Jinyue couldn't help but burst out laughing, but the others were not so good at it and all laughed out loud: "Old Wang, you are still drunk from last night! Their country M is a capitalist country, unlike us, where only public welfare units can be named 'people', that is, now. If you said this before, you were..."
The old man Wang who was being made fun of was a well-known drunkard in the laboratory. He drank so much that he couldn't even remember to go to work, and all the hospital staff kept their distance from him.
Shu Jinyue took a closer look at his nose. It was red, swollen and large. His liver must be in bad condition. He is in the laboratory and must know about it. His colleagues must have reminded him, but he just didn't listen.
Jin Yue was not so bored as to tell everyone she saw that they were sick. She looked away and was about to talk to Lin Zhen when she suddenly saw someone waving at her.
"Qin Haiyang?"
Qin Haiyang, wearing a white coat from the Provincial Hospital, sat in the fourth row, diagonally behind them. “You are…”
Qin Haiyang said with a smile: "After Director Mo helped me to stay, my girlfriend also came with me."
Only then did Shu Jinyue notice that there was a curly-haired girl next to him. She had an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, slightly plump lips, and a very healthy wheat-colored complexion. She exuded a unique temperament. If I have to make an analogy, she should be a very popular Asian girl in Country M.
The girl showed off her big white teeth and even her smile was very cute. She was the first to greet Jin Yue: "Hello, my name is Yang Moli." But her voice was a little hoarse, with a frosted texture.
Jin Yue smiled and held out his hand, "Hello, my name is Shu Jin Yue."
"I know." Yang Moli said openly, without saying how she knew. It was obvious that both parties knew each other's identities. "I heard that you are doing an internship. Is that in our hospital?"
Jin Yue briefly explained her situation. Knowing that she was also introduced to the andrology department of the provincial hospital as a high-level talent, she couldn't help but admire Qin Haiyang. This guy is so lucky and his girlfriend is so beautiful.
Maybe everyone has a desire to admire the strong. This kind of woman who has a strong aura at first glance makes Jin Yue inexplicably like her and even wants to get closer to her!
Turning back, Lin Zhen carefully poked Jin Yue, "Who is this? Do you know him?"
"Yeah, she's my friend's girlfriend. I met her for the first time, too."
"Her eyes are so strong that I don't even dare to look her in the eye." Lin Zhen whispered, and then turned back to take a sneak peek, "I guarantee that they are definitely discussing you right now."
Shu Jinyue spread his hands and said, let's discuss it. These two handsome men and beautiful women are a perfect match. Qin Haiyang is really lucky to be able to pursue such a beautiful girl with such outstanding abilities.
"But I know her, Dr. Yang, the andrologist who just came back from Country M. Dr. Yang, I heard she has a lot of patients, even their director doesn't have as many as she does."
Jin Yue’s eyes widened. So powerful? ! It seems that my feeling was correct. This is a young doctor who is also excellent in his profession... It's another day of envying Qin Haiyang.
"She is very good at treating men's diseases, and... well, those things you know. Sometimes she even performs palpation on patients. For this reason, the hospital specially assigned the only male nurse in the hospital to work with her."
Just as regulations require that a female nurse must be present when a male doctor performs a gynecological examination, it is also best for a female doctor to be accompanied by a male nurse when performing a men's examination. This can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble and make the patient feel safe, and so does the doctor.
"Then the guy wearing glasses next to her must be the legendary new generation hospital idol, Dr. Qin?!" Lin Zhen pinched Jin Yue, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you knew such a handsome Dr. Qin?"
Shu Jinyue continued to spread his hands and said, "What's the big deal? He already has a girlfriend." However, Jin Yue had no objection to the title of "the new generation of college grass". Qin Haiyang was indeed handsome and elegant, and compared with the previous college grass, he had a more bookish air and looked like a good student.
Shu Jinyue couldn't help but look at Director Mo Shuyi, who was sitting in the second row and had just greeted her. Ever since he got married, everyone had gradually forgotten about his status as the most handsome man in the school. He was also a returned overseas PhD, but he went there in the 1950s and 1960s, so he was considered the previous generation.
Jin Yue and Lin Zhen were talking in a low voice when the dean came on stage to introduce today's protagonist, Dr. Brian. It was almost the same as what was written on the blackboard. After a very warm applause, a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes, 1.9 meters tall, walked onto the stage.
And the person who walked up with him was Yang Moli.
It turned out that Yang Moli was the translator that the hospital found for Brian. As soon as she went up, Brian hugged her.
Everyone was shocked, and then there was an uproar.
This etiquette seems too unrestrained and shocking for most people who have never been abroad or watched foreign movies and TV shows. Some elderly doctors have already started blowing their beards.
"Okay Brian, let's get back to the topic and tell me about your experience in Dragon Country this time." Yang Moli smiled and politely pushed him away, sounding quite familiar with the topic.
Perhaps she heard everyone's thoughts, so she introduced them to everyone: "You may be surprised, yes, Brian and I have known each other since we were in Country M. We once worked together briefly in the same hospital."
I see. It seems that they might be friends, so it's reasonable for them to be a little intimate. But... don't hug each other so easily next time. The old doctors and experts couldn't take it. They almost slammed the table and left.
Brian then began to praise Longguo's beautiful mountains, rivers, scenery and unique food. He said that he had eaten Peking duck in Jingshi, salted duck in Nanshi, eight-treasure duck in Haicheng, and sweet-skinned duck in Sichuan and Chongqing... With Yang Moli's translation, the people in the audience could no longer hold back their laughter.
It turns out that this old man is having a fight with the duck, eating it as he walks.
Yang Moli added humorously: "Our colleagues suggested that you try our local dry pot duck in Shilan, which is also very good."
"Oh my God, that's so wonderful, I can't think of anything better!"
After everyone started chatting over food, Brian quickly got into the topic of his speech - "The Latest Clinical Research Progress on Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS)".
When she first saw the name, Jin Yue thought it was a false reputation. After all, she had just heard not long ago that some so-called foreign experts were photographing and videotaping Longguo's most traditional rice paper craft under the guise of learning. Among these "experts" coming here now, there are many commercial spies who steal technology under the guise of learning and exchange. Even if they are not spies and have no political purposes, I am afraid that most of them are just doing it to make money.
So she didn't hold out much hope that others would seriously introduce them to the most advanced treatment techniques from abroad. However, as she listened, she found that this old man really had some knowledge and was giving a very thorough review.
She introduced almost all the most advanced technologies and viewpoints of several countries in the world that are currently conducting research on hepatorenal syndrome. She did not just briefly mention them in a cursory manner, but instead gave a detailed and well-reasoned introduction, including the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment method and the current difficulties. She also mentioned many drug names that the Chinese people had never heard of.
Fortunately, Yang Moli is a PhD student who not only has good English, but also has a very rich medical vocabulary. In order to take into account everyone's thinking speed and note-taking speed, when translating very new professional vocabulary, she will deliberately slow down and pick out a certain word to emphasize... She is very professional and seems to have a very high IQ.
As soon as she slowed down, Brian also slowed down, so what was originally going to be a long and eloquent speech turned into a patient teaching... While Shu Jinyue was taking notes, she secretly gave a thumbs up in her heart, Miss Jasmine was really great!
The speech was originally planned to last for one hour, but it ended up lasting two and a half hours, a full hour and a half longer. The medical staff in the audience listened very attentively and seriously. The Chinese people are very reserved and polite. Even if they had any doubts or didn't understand something during the speech, they would quietly write it down and plan to discuss it with their colleagues after the speech.
Brian was still a little uncomfortable, so he asked Yang Moli in English: "Yang, are your colleagues listening? Why doesn't anyone have any questions?"
Yang Moli smiled and said: "Our habit is to wait until the person who is speaking finishes speaking before asking questions, rather than interrupting in the middle of the conversation."
Brian had a look on his face that said, "So that's how polite you are." "Well, now that I've finished speaking, they can ask questions."
At the beginning, everyone was a little embarrassed because they didn't speak the language and were a little nervous. But after Mo Shuyi started speaking in Chinese, everyone gradually relaxed and raised their hands.
There were so many people who raised their hands. Some did not understand a certain drug name, some did not understand a certain treatment method, and some did not understand certain nouns. One after another, everyone saw that he patiently answered every question, and they became bolder. Someone asked directly: "Dr. Brian, have you encountered any problems that you cannot solve in your medical career?"
Brian thought for a moment, "Yes, I once met a patient with liver cirrhosis and ascites. He did not feel any relief after improving his blood pressure and volume expansion. Later, he underwent ascites puncture and fluid drainage. However, he was strangely allergic to all anesthetics. At the same time, after the ascites was drained, the amount of ascites did not decrease but increased. It would rebound and become more every time. Later... it was a pity."
The audience was silent. In the hospital, everyone was used to seeing life and death, but when it came to the real issue of life and death, any doctor with a conscience would feel sad.
When Shu Jinyue heard this, she suddenly remembered something. She had heard her master talk about a similar example.
Just as I was thinking, Lin Zhen beside me suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Dr. Brian, I have heard of such an example before. It was an old Chinese doctor in our Longguo. When he was young, he met a patient with unexplained pleural effusion. The pleural effusion had reached the level of severe pleural effusion. The puncture and extraction were ineffective. He was allergic to anesthetics and could not undergo thoracotomy. The hospital sentenced him to death. Later, the patient's family found the old Chinese doctor, and he only used three prescriptions to eliminate the patient's pleural effusion, and the patient never relapsed for life. What do you think of this?"
The properties of pleural effusion and ascites can be classified into the same category, but the locations where they stay are different. The example she gave corresponded exactly to Brian's "regret". Jin Yue's heart moved. She had told Lin Zhen this example in person, and this guy brought it up in public now...and if she remembered correctly, the male doctor who asked Brian the question just now was their college classmate, and he was interning in the same department as Lin Zhen, and they had a good relationship.
Lin Zhen winked at her quietly, meaning "let's wait and see."
Brian was stunned at first, and then he immediately asked, "How much pleural effusion does this patient have, and what caused it?"
"At least 2,000 milliliters, with unknown causes. There was no infection, tumor, hypoproteinemia, cirrhosis, heart failure or other diseases. It can be said that any primary disease was ruled out. The patient first presented with chest tightness and shortness of breath, and it was only after a period of time that it was found to be pleural effusion."
Brian was fascinated by what he heard and continued to ask, "Can you tell me what medicine the Dragon Country doctor used?"
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Then you may need to ask the old doctor's students, because the old doctor has been dead for more than ten years."
Everyone followed her gaze and looked at Shu Jinyue. Jinyue thought to herself, Lin Zhen, ah Lin Zhen, you really know how to cause trouble for me, but she likes this kind of thing! She does not reject Western medicine, but when Western medicine cannot solve a problem, she also wants to let the other party see what a treasure Chinese medicine actually is.
She stood up generously, "Hello, Dr. Brian, I am the apprentice of that old Chinese doctor. My master is Lei Qingyuan, an old Chinese doctor with 67 years of medical experience. He has unique insights in the treatment of many diseases, and this patient with severe pleural effusion is just one of his many medical experiences."
There are actually many such "strange" and "weird" cases. Logically speaking, if he were still alive, Jin Yue, as his disciple, should help him organize them, or even publish them for public distribution... But he passed away, and Jin Yue didn't fully understand his medical career, and had never heard of many cases. In addition, there were no parties involved to examine or trace, so if he published them himself, they would be labeled as "fabricated" by some people with ulterior motives.
It would be great if she could find the old master's medical notes, medical records, or outpatient diaries. If she could compile them into a book and publish them, she would be willing to publish it at her own expense. I'm sure many people would be interested.
Sure enough, Brian was very interested in this case and even forgot to continue sharing his own experience. Instead, he asked Jin Yue how her teacher treated this severe pleural effusion.
"There is a very famous but seldom used prescription in traditional Chinese medicine called Shizao Decoction."
Yang Moli looked at Jin Yue, "Ten-Date Decoration?"
Shu Jinyue confirmed with her remaining English: "Yes, you can translate it this way, or you can just follow the Chinese pronunciation, Shizao Decoction. It's better to follow our pronunciation."
It is necessary to let foreigners accept the transliteration of Chinese instead of asking Chinese people to accommodate their Western logic in everything. Yang Moli looked at her deeply, and then translated it phonetically. This puzzled Brian, as he had always felt that Chinese medicine was something similar to witchcraft. The most he could accept were physical therapies such as acupuncture and cupping.
"This decoction is mainly composed of ten jujubes and four Chinese medicinal herbs: Dahurian genkwa, Euphorbia dahurica and Licorice. It has the effect of expelling water retention and can treat edema and suspended fluid."
Yang Moli translated directly according to the Chinese pronunciation. She found that she liked Shu Jinyue. Later, she even added some of her own understanding based on Jinyue's words, "It can be used clinically to treat pleural effusion, ascites and generalized edema caused by various reasons."
Brian was shocked. "If my patient with liver cirrhosis and ascites had met your teacher, would he have been able to use this medicine? Would he not have died?"
Shu Jinyue nodded. She was sure that at least she would not die from ascites.
"Traditional Chinese medicine has great advantages in treating edema diseases, whether primary or secondary, and the effect is immediate for edema caused by hepatorenal syndrome."
Brian wished he could have a patient with hepatorenal syndrome right here and let Shu Jinyue see one for him, but this was in Long Country and he was here to give a speech. He always remembered to be polite and managed to suppress his urgency.
Afterwards, colleagues still had many questions to ask. The speech, which was originally planned to be one and a half hours, lasted more than five hours and missed the meal time. However, no one left early, and everyone's face was filled with desire for the world's advanced medical technology and knowledge.
Lin Zhen whispered to Jin Yue, "Since we paid for him, we have to make sure the money is worth it and squeeze every bit of surplus value out of him."
Shu Jinyue laughed: "What are you talking about? We are not capitalists."
It was half past two in the afternoon, and the hospital leaders were starving. Brian was so confused by the questions that his voice became hoarse. The translator changed from Yang Moli to Mo Shuyi, and then from Mo Shuyi to Qin Haiyang. It was really tiring!
The translator needs to translate everyone's questions into English, relay them to Brian, and then translate Brian's English answers into Chinese and tell everyone present. It would be strange if he wasn't tired!
"Fortunately, our hospital has three overseas returnees with PhDs. If one is missing, we will be at a loss."
"Director Mo is really good. He persuaded the dean to bring in Dr. Yang and Dr. Qin. How come his network is so wide? Are all the people he met while studying abroad high-level talents?"
"Director Mo will probably challenge the position of Vice President in a few years..."
"Shh, stop talking, I can't hear any questions."
…
Soon, the free question session was forced to pause. Everyone stood up and applauded Brian, but he was reluctant to leave. He looked in the direction of Shu Jinyue and said, "Shu, can you give me your contact information? This is my business card."
His business card is not just a simple piece of cardboard. It seems to be quite heavy and feels very textured when held in the hand.
Shu Jinyue wrote down his home phone number and mailing address in a notebook, then tore off the page and said, "Sorry, I don't have a business card."
Brian is not a man of detail. He is now very interested in Shu Jinyue's master, but unfortunately he has passed away. He can only learn about his life by asking Shu Jinyue.
Of course, at this moment he has not yet realized that the woman in front of him may not be worse than her master.
***
After the meeting, with the "honor" of being asked for their contact information, Shu Jinyue and Lin Zhen were surrounded by people as they went to the cafeteria of the Provincial Hospital to eat.
"Those employees who took the initiative to greet you just now usually never look at us interns straight in the eye."
"And the one who just walked past, he is usually quite impressive, with eyes on the top of his head."
Shu Jinyue was also helpless. By having connections with foreigners, it seemed that her "value" had visibly increased. It's not that she is aloof, she really thinks it's unnecessary and there's nothing wrong with just quietly focusing on her own profession.
The two of them went to the canteen and ordered a dry pot duck. There was no other way, since it had been mentioned at the seminar, and Lin Zhen, the little foodie, had been thinking about it for a long time.
The dry-pot duck was fried crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, spicy and fragrant, and the combination of meat and vegetables was very appetizing. Shu Jin ate so much that her belly was bulging. She had to loosen the belt of her skirt before she could stand up. In the end, she did not take the bus, but walked home.
If she didn't walk, she might vomit if she was bumped around in the car.
Lin Zhen, this guy with big eyes and a small stomach, actually ordered a whole pot! In fact, half a pot is enough for the two of them. They don't want to waste it if they can't finish it, so they just grit their teeth and eat it hard, until they are hungry... In the end, Jin Yue swore that she would never eat duck again in the next two months!
She is afraid of duck feathers!
As expected, just as they were walking to the entrance of the alley, they met Mrs. Zhao and Fan Qiuyue, who were carrying bags of things in with a few men. "Brother Wenming's duck down has arrived. Let's ask the men in the family to come and help."
Jin Yue took a closer look and found that the duck feathers were really good this time, clean, tidy and with less odor. It was difficult to completely eliminate any odor after the initial treatment, but being able to achieve this level was already very good... But Jin Yue felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit, the smell of duck shit was too strong!
She quickly ran away in three or two steps, and ran home holding her breath, and found that everyone was doing their own work. Even Xiao Ping'an was sitting on a small bench at the door with his two sisters doing his homework. The three kids are sitting upright together, looking very cute.
Jin Yue took a closer look and saw that they were just some simple Arabic numerals. He wrote better and more standardly than Meng Meng and Ya Ya. They should have been taught by Teacher Zhao before. On the contrary, Meng Meng and Ya Ya followed their grandfather around every day. Shu Wenyan and his wife were reluctant to let them suffer the hardship of studying too early. So far, they can only read but not write. The Arabic numerals they wrote were crooked like little insects.
Jin Yue looked for a while and said, "Ya Ya, where is your mother?"
"Let's go transport the goods. Grandpa is going home to see great-grandma."
"As soon as your sister-in-law bought the car, she went out to transport goods for someone else. She said that a township enterprise she had worked for before had a batch of goods to be transported to the neighboring province, and she was paid more than 400 yuan for each trip."
The round trip only took four days, and after deducting the cost of gas, food and lodging, there was still more than 200 yuan left. This money was really easy to make. She immediately sent the child to the old house and asked Teacher Shu to look after him while she drove the car.
"Haven't you found a driver yet?"
"She was hired. She said she was the master she hired to help her with long-distance driving. She just went to the Northeast a few days ago. She stayed near home and did short-distance driving so that she could take care of the children more conveniently." Shu Linong had to pick and wash vegetables while watching the children do their homework.
All of a sudden, he became the busiest one. Others could have a rest on Sundays, but he now worked without a break all month. Those old guys who played chess called him several times, but he didn't even have time to play a few games.
"By the way, the award certificate and thank-you letter on the table were sent by Public Security Long. They said you had made some contribution, but he was busy going back to work and didn't explain it clearly. He said you knew it yourself."
Shu Jinyue picked it up and took a look. The amount and prize were bigger than what his second brother won that year. It seemed that he had made a great contribution by saving Xiao Ping'an this time. The fact that he was able to deliver the things over must have meant that the case had been completely solved and the bad elements hidden among the masses had been caught. The salesperson was probably just a small part of it.
When she saw Public Security Long that day, how could she have imagined that there was such a deep connection behind it, and that her family would have a new family member?
It’s really hard to explain fate.
Shu Jinyue had just put away her things when Fan Qiuyue's child came over and shouted, "Aunt Jinyue, your phone is ringing."
It turned out to be Sun Aihong. Her voice was full of excitement. "Jin Yue, we have confirmed that the assets of the small building of the Third Department Store will be auctioned by the department stores next Friday. You will have one day tomorrow to submit the information. Are you ready?"
"My second brother has prepared everything." She and her mother were both busy, and Shu Wenming had experience in this, so he helped with the preparations.
"Okay, I've registered for you. Remember to go there in person tomorrow to hand in the information. You'll also need to sign in person to confirm. The auction will be on Friday, so don't forget to be there."
The information was submitted in such a short time, and filming started immediately after the review was completed. With such a speed, if you didn’t have some connections, you would miss it without knowing it. Jin Yue felt embarrassed for always bothering her like this, "Sister Aihong, when are you free? Let's get together?"
"Let's talk about it later. I've been busy lately. Little Tiger complained that I never accompanied him and asked me to take him out to play."
It turned out that she wanted to accompany the child first. Jin Yue could completely understand, "Okay, then you take care of him first, and we can get together another day."
The next day, Jin Yue took half a day off to go to the department store to submit documents. Only then did he find out that the assets to be sold were not only the building opposite the Third Department Store, but also department stores in several other districts, and some of them seemed to be in good locations.
You have to know that department stores were established a long time ago, and their locations are all in prosperous areas with developed transportation. Many of them are old department store buildings that have existed since the Republic of China period. If she can buy these buildings, it will be very important for her as she wants to expand the business area of her clinic in the future.
Jin Yue thought of this quickly without Xu Duan's reminder. As long as you sign up, you can participate in the auction of all assets, with no upper limit on the quantity. Jin Yue suddenly decided that she must cast a wide net and focus on fishing on Friday!
Sure enough, when Xu Duan came to pick her up from get off work that night, he agreed with her and said, "Okay, go ahead and take the photo. I just received a payment of 80,000 yuan. I'll give you the passbook later."
The more Shu Jin laughed, the more she had to accept it! He knew in his heart that he had left enough for her to spend, as this was the household allowance he had to hand over as a husband. Moreover, this is 80,000 yuan, not 8,000 yuan. He saved 80,000 yuan in just two years. In the future... I can't imagine how rich and happy she will be!
Thinking about the increasing amount of money in his hands, some of which he earned and some of which he handed over, Jin Yue couldn't help but sigh once again that life is really great if you work hard. The harder you work, the smoother your life will be, and the smoother it is, the more you want to work harder.
***
On Friday, not only Jin Yue and Xu Duan went, but Shu Wenming also said he wanted to go and see it, and followed them to the auction site. In the meeting room of the city department store, Jin Yue already knew the approximate number of bidders from Sun's father, but he was still shocked by the scene. The entire meeting room was packed with people.
"They're similar to us. They all come here to broaden their horizons." Shu Wenming started chatting with other people before he even had time to sit down. After a while, he came back to tell Jin Yue not to be nervous.
"But unlike us who are alone, many of them are township entrepreneurs, and one is a senior manager of a joint venture, which is actually a Japanese company. Those sitting against the wall on the right are them."
Shu Jinyue took a quick look at first and thought it was just an ordinary Dragon national costume, so he didn't think anything of it. But when he took another look, his eyelids suddenly twitched.
She actually saw an acquaintance in there!
"Did you see someone you know?" Xu Duan asked in a low voice beside him.
Jin Yue took a closer look, nodded and shook his head, "Remember the H countryman I told you about last time? The one who bought the fake bronze man?"
Xu Duan nodded and glanced at the group of people without leaving a trace. "The one sitting in the back row against the wall wearing a white shirt and a red tie?"
Jin Yue raised an eyebrow, "How did you know?"
He smiled. He knew at a glance that although the man was sitting at the back and the room was relatively quiet, he could see that several people around him were following his lead, either explicitly or implicitly, which meant that he had the highest position or status among the people present.
Jin Yue took another quick look and said, "I don't think it's Kim Hyun Joong. If it was him, he would have recognized me a long time ago."
"And his age isn't right, he's younger than Kim Hyun Joong." The appearance of people from country H is not very recognizable to most Asians, but Jin Yue has a good memory. She has already engraved the appearance of Kim Hyun Joong, a person who needs to be highly valued, in her mind. So when this person who looks very similar to him appears, the alarm in Jin Yue's heart goes off.
"This man looks like his younger brother to me." As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Duan went out and asked someone to bring back an auction registration form and a sign-in sheet. Everyone who arrived needed to sign in and have their ID verified before they could enter.
He quickly found a person named "Jin Xianjun" inside. The unit note was a Japanese daily chemical brand factory. The site was originally in Yangcheng. He didn't expect that he would come all the way to an inland city like Shucheng.
Shu Jinyue thought to himself: Something terrible is happening!
Are these foreign capitals now going to start acquiring Longguo’s high-quality state-owned assets? Did they plan this so early? She had never come into contact with or noticed before, but they not only coveted Dragon Country’s traditional crafts, intangible cultural heritage technologies, Chinese medicine secrets, and cultural relics, but also extended their tentacles to state-owned assets long ago!
Moreover, she had this relationship because she cured Sun Ailan. The Sun family informed her of the time and place, but how did these people know? Their information channels are wider and more accurate than those of us, the native Chinese. What does this mean?
Carrying a camera and recording the whole process is no longer a big deal.
Originally, Jin Yue only wanted to focus on catching some of the higher quality and more desirable ones, but now it seems that she wants to buy any assets that may have good development locations in the future.
But she wanted to buy it, and the other party was well prepared, and her financial resources were completely different from his. Under the same conditions, he definitely had a better chance of winning than her because he was rich.
Seeing that she was anxious, Xu Duan gently squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry, let me see what assets are on the list."
He took it and saw that Jin Yue had circled five buildings with a pencil. These were the ones she wanted to buy the most and thought had the greatest value.
"Wait, I'm going out for a while."
Shu Jinyue didn't know where he was going. She was very anxious and even had her palms sweating. If she competed with those township entrepreneurs, she still had a chance of winning because they all became rich in the past two years and the difference in strength would not be too big.
But Kim Hyun-jun, who knows how long he has been in Longguo, who knows how much money he has? Their Jin family had long become the running dogs of the chaebol. If he was determined to compete with her, she would be no match for him at all.
After a while, the auction began. As it was the first time for such an auction to be held in the province, it was held in a hurry, the procedures were not mature enough, and it was even a little chaotic, but everyone could understand it. After all, the first time was a time for everyone to make mistakes and learn at the same time.
Soon, the first building went up for auction. Jin Yue remembered that it was a three-story building on South Street with a usable area of nearly 1,000 square meters. Although the building was very old and the transportation was a little far compared to the current Goldfish Hutong, in the near future, it would also be within the first ring of Book City, and every inch of land would be worth a lot of money.
Based on this consideration, Jin Yue estimated that the bidding price for this building was the highest. She was drawing a red line for herself in her mind. If it exceeded this line, she would be powerless. Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard the host say that the starting price was 5,000 yuan.
Shu Jinyue: “???” She doubted her ears. Such a big building only cost 5,000 yuan?
Shu Wenming asked her, "It's the bungalow warehouse in the southern suburbs."
Shu Jinyue was stunned. Warehouse? And it’s from the southern suburbs? There is such a warehouse on the list, but it is ranked at the back, not at the front.
Shu Wenming whispered in his ear: "Xu Duan asked you to keep quiet for now."
Shu Jinyue was stunned. It turned out that this was not in the order on the table and was completely messed up? But it doesn’t matter, no one stipulates that we have to follow the order, right?
She didn't say anything. Some of the others were interested, while others were not optimistic. However, Kim Hyun-jun, seeing that there were not many competitors, directly bought it for 7,500 yuan.
The second building, Jin Yue was no longer distracted and listened attentively. It was still a very ordinary warehouse, and the location was not very good. However, it was introduced that the house was very new and was built in the last five years. Many people became interested in it in an instant, but ordinary township entrepreneurs could not compete with Jin Xianjun's wealth.
Seeing him take two photos in a row, some people became unhappy and whispered in his direction. Kim Hyun-jun seemed to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention, with a smug look on his face and the confidence that he was determined to win.
Shu Jinyue looked at Shu Wenming, and he shook his head at her, signaling her not to move.
Soon, the wealthy Jin Xianjun successfully bought the third place. This time, someone finally couldn't sit still and stood up to protest: "Boss, this won't work. We were originally competing fairly, but he bought them all. What are we still doing here?"
Another tall and thin guy who failed to buy after three attempts in a row was also unwilling to do it, "Exactly, are we supposed to be the ones carrying the sedan chair?"
"Yes, this is unreasonable! If it continues like this, let's all go home!"
In the past, no one would have dared to speak to the head of a department store like this, but things are different now. In the past two years, individual businesses and township enterprises have been encouraged and protected by policies. They have made money and become wealthy, and they dare to express their ideas.
Naturally, their opinions were heard by the higher-ups, and soon after discussion, the department store decided that each bidding unit could only purchase a maximum of three assets.
Now, everyone reluctantly agreed, but Kim Hyun-jun was confused. What kind of rule was this and when did it come out? If he could only buy three places, he had already used up all his opportunities!
However, everyone scoffed at his opinion, saying, "You are so good at taking advantage of others."
"You rushed to buy it, no one forced you to do it. Now you regret it, you deserve it!"
"Luckily there is this rule, otherwise you would have bought them all. We would have become your sedan bearers, ugh!"
Everyone was really pissed off by him. Those who came here with information channels all had some connections and face, and they boasted that they had some money, but he ended up slapping them in the face with even more money. Who could feel comfortable about that?
Therefore, without his lavish wealth to disrupt the situation, the subsequent auctions went much smoother and more harmoniously. Following the principle that harmony brings wealth, everyone raised the price reasonably, and gave up when the price reached a certain level. Even a few people like Shu Jinyue who wanted to buy more properties were restricted to two properties due to regulations, and they were satisfied with that.
Therefore, Shu Jinyue successfully picked out two properties that he was most satisfied with and bought them, namely the building of nearly 1,000 square meters on South Street and the building opposite the San Department Store where a clinic is now located. The prices were also within his psychological affordability. Maybe their bidding method may seem like a fight between weaklings in Kim Hyun-jun's eyes, but it is a healthy competition that is in line with the current economic level and consumption habits of the Dragon people. Jin Yue cast a grateful look at Xu Duan.
Others can buy good assets at reasonable prices, and that is what they deserve. As a compatriot, Shu Jinyue sincerely wishes them well and hopes that they can make good use of those houses and never let them fall into the hands of foreign capital.
After completing all the formalities, Shu Jinyue finally felt relieved. When she returned home and showed Zhao Wanqiu the property certificate, she was so excited that she burst into tears.
"It feels different to rent someone else's house to open a clinic and to open your own house to open a clinic."
"I'm thinking of saving some money in a year or two to renovate the other rooms. Then we can hire someone to do the work like your sister-in-law did."
She tickled her fingers and began to list the problems she had encountered since the clinic opened: "In addition to traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who prescribe herbal medicines, many patients also want to find Chinese medicine orthopedic doctors and professional acupuncture and massage doctors. Jin Yue and I are not professionals and do not have so much time to deal with them."
Acupuncture and massage are very time-consuming, but they have many patients waiting to see them and cannot spend too much time on physical therapy.
Shu Jinyue agreed, "I will go back to school someday to ask if there are any college classmates willing to come, preferably from the acupuncture department."
Many of her good friends in college have fellow villagers working in the acupuncture and massage department, so she asked if she could recruit a few of them. To be honest, compared with the traditional prescription of herbal medicines, acupuncture and massage basically does not require any consumables and costs, and the money earned depends entirely on the physical strength and skills of the acupuncture and massage doctors. Instead of working hard in public hospitals and only getting a fixed salary, acupuncture and massage doctors might as well go out and work harder and earn more.
"We have to hire another accountant. We are busy seeing patients, and your dad can't handle the accounts by himself." Teacher Shu has to cook and take care of the children. He is responsible for all the big and small things in the family. It is too much for him to be an accountant.
At the beginning, everyone thought that if their family members could do the job, they could do it together. After all, they didn't know whether it could make money, and it was not good to let the whole family invest in something with an uncertain future. But recently Zhao Wanqiu carefully counted the accounts and found that the clinic had started to make money, and a lot of it, so she wanted to gradually standardize the clinic.
Zhao Wanqiu looked at Jin Yue, then at Xu Wenli who was helping Xiao Ping'an count the matchsticks, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "Why don't we let Wenli do the accounting?"
Wenli is fast and accurate in calculating, which is recognized by the whole Liuye Hutong. Last year, she represented their unit in the district's abacus skills competition and won second place!
Not to mention, Zhao Wanqiu is becoming more and more courageous now. She even thinks that being a salesperson in the vegetable market is worse than working as an accountant in her clinic.
"First of all, I will definitely not treat her unfairly and will not offer her a low salary. Secondly, we can trust our family members to do the work. What do you think?"
Shu Jinyue nodded, and she also looked at Shu Wenming.
Shu Wenming saw Xu Wenli looking at him expectantly. He knew that everyone, including his wife, wanted Wenli to work at the clinic, but...
He hesitated for a moment, "Let's think about it, okay?"
The more Shu Jin listened to the tone, the more it seemed that his second brother was unwilling? Given his personality, he would have agreed on the spot if it was possible.
But this kind of thing requires the consent of both parties. My second sister-in-law and second brother are the parties involved, so they both need to agree. Xu Duan also nodded slightly at her, indicating that he should listen to his second brother's opinion first.
Jin Yue muttered to himself, not knowing what they were up to. Just as he was about to go out to work at the clinic, he suddenly heard Lin Zhen's voice coming from the door: "Jin Yue, go! It's time for you to fight for the reputation of our traditional Chinese medicine!"
Shu Jinyue was confused. What was she doing pushing him out like this?
"Dr. Brian is still here. He's been playing in Shilan for a week. He was supposed to go to the hospital for his final seminar today. Didn't he promise that we could keep the questions we didn't ask? He will come to our hospital again..."
Jin Yue: I thought he was just saying that for politeness, but who knew he would actually come back to me.
"Guess what happened today during the seminar?" Lin Zhen took the warm water from Xu Wenli and gulped it down. "Thank you, sister-in-law. They encountered another strange disease!"
Zhao Wanqiu asked quickly: "What strange disease?"
"A young patient was found to have elevated transaminase levels, which was very high. We suspected he had liver cancer or other serious liver diseases. We have been admitted to the provincial hospital for a week and spent a lot of money, but we still can't find out what the problem is."
