After 8:30 in the evening, Mr. Qin, Mr. Ye and others said goodbye and left the Yu family, and took the business minibus arranged by Gu Qingran out of Junshanfu Community.
Gu Qingran did not go with the car, but stayed behind.
Yu Zhiming waved his hand and watched the car drive away. After the minibus drove away for dozens of meters, he put down his hand and looked at Gu Qingran.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me!"
Gu Qingran imitated Yu Zhiming's habitual movement and rolled his eyelids, saying, "We can't talk about this standing on the street, right?"
"We should be in a comfortable environment, sitting on a comfortable sofa, sipping good tea, and talking about things."
Yu Zhiming said perfunctorily, "I'm just afraid of tiring you out. It would be tiring to make you run up and down for something that can be explained in a few words."
Gu Qingran hummed softly, "What I want to talk about cannot be explained in a few words. I am not afraid of hard work, I will just treat it as exercise."
After saying this, he took the lead and walked towards the stairwell.
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes, and Qingning, who was trying to hold back her laughter, grabbed his arm and dragged him back.
To be honest, Yu Zhiming would rather have a day of physical examination or surgery than entertain friends and relatives and chat with them.
This job is much more tiring than work.
But the guy in front of him is his brother-in-law, and there are many business relationships between the two parties. Even though Yu Zhiming is tired after a day, he can only force himself to deal with it.
The three of them returned to their home on the top floor again and saw that Yu Chaoxia had already cleaned up the living room.
Feeling tired, Yu's father and mother also went back to their room to rest.
Yu Zhiming sat down with Gu Qingran on the sofa in the living room, while Qingning was busy making tea again.
Gu Qingran suggested: "Zhiming, you should decorate a study room. That way, when you have something to discuss with others, it won't disturb your uncle, aunt, and eldest sister."
Yu Zhiming said nonchalantly, "No need. Unless they are uninvited guests, I usually don't bring people home to discuss matters."
Gu Qingran gritted his teeth and quickly got down to business.
"Do you remember that Mr. Ye once said that he wanted Gancaotang to be stationed in Huashan Second Hospital?"
Yu Zhiming nodded, but couldn't help asking, "Did the deal come to an agreement? Or did it fall through?"
Gu Qingran didn't answer directly, and continued, "Huashan Second Hospital has to face competition from Jingcheng Hospital. Jingcheng Hospital's Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine is its signature hospital."
"President Li and his colleagues also want the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Huashan Second Hospital to compete with the others. Given the weakness of their own Traditional Chinese Medicine department, they are quite welcoming of the initiative proposed by Gancaotang, led by Master Ye, the master of traditional Chinese medicine."
"The two sides had a very good discussion at the beginning and have already touched upon the specific details of the cooperation."
"But two days ago, someone showed up to disrupt the situation!"
Yu Zhiming asked with concern: "Who?"
Gu Qingran picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip, but the tea was too hot. After touching his lips, he had to put it down.
"Two came together, Tong Ren Tang and Guo Yi Tang!"
Yu Zhiming frowned and said, "Although Tong Ren Tang is a time-honored brand, isn't its main business selling medicine?"
"Who are the masters of traditional Chinese medicine who opened the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall?"
Gu Qingran explained to Yu Zhiming, who knew little about the company, "Tong Ren Tang has a top-tier, Class 3 Tong Ren Tang Chinese Medicine Hospital in Beijing. While Tong Ren Tang branches across China primarily sell medicine, most also have Chinese medicine clinics."
"As for the National Medical Hall, it is a medical unit established by the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine that integrates medical treatment, teaching, and scientific research."
After a pause, Gu Qingran said slowly: "There is a saying in the capital, go to the National Medical Hall for treatment and Tong Ren Tang for medicine."
Yu Zhiming uttered a soft "oh" and asked, "Why did these two companies decide to cooperate with Huashan Second Hospital?"
Gu Qingran explained: "I'm attracted by the positioning and development prospects of Huashan Second Hospital."
"With a medical expert like you, Zhiming, at the helm, backed by Huashan Hospital and our Ning'an Group, and with the strong support of the Binhai government, within a few years, this will become a world-renowned medical institution, a showcase for my country's medical strength to the world."
Gu Qingran further analyzed, "Tong Ren Tang is a time-honored brand of traditional Chinese medicine. Everyone in China knows it, and it's especially well-known abroad. They've even promised to send their best and brightest."
"As for the National Medical Hall, backed by the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a 211, 985, and Double First-Class university, one can imagine its strength."
"Compared to these two families, Ye Lao's Licorice Hall is much weaker. Moreover, Ye Lao is over seventy years old. Although he has trained many disciples, none of them have become famous."
Yu Zhiming uttered another "oh" and said, "So, Gancaotang is going to be out of business?"
Gu Qingran said softly: "Judging from the current situation, there is a high possibility of being eliminated."
"I understand that Tong Ren Tang and Guo Yi Tang also attach great importance to this cooperation. They said that heavyweights will come next week to hold formal negotiations with the leaders of Huashan Hospital."
"Of course, Licorice Hall is not without a chance!"
"Where is the opportunity?" Yu Zhiming asked.
Gu Qingran picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and said with a gentle smile: "The opportunity for Gancaotang lies in you."
"If you clearly support Gancaotang and even express your solidarity with it, then no one will be able to stop Gancaotang from moving into Huashan Second Hospital."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but grin and said, "Although I emotionally support Gancaotang's move into Huashan Second Hospital, it wouldn't be good if I got too involved in such a major cooperation, right?"
"I'm just a doctor, not the head of the hospital."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming asked again, "Why didn't Teacher Ye tell me about this matter himself, but asked you to convey it?"
Gu Qingran explained: "Mr. Ye didn't ask me to convey this, I just felt it was necessary to let you know."
"I guess Mr. Ye didn't tell you because he didn't want to embarrass you. After all, Mr. Ye is a master of traditional Chinese medicine and has backbone. He wants to win the competition with his real ability."
Yu Zhiming nodded slightly.
He thought for a moment and said slowly, "If the hospital asks for my opinion, I will express my support for Gancaotang."
"But I can't do it."
Gu Qingran chuckled and nodded, "Not bad, not bad. You haven't let your emotions cloud your mind. You know your limits and when to advance and retreat."
"If you use your position to interfere too much in matters beyond your job, and continue to force your ideas, you will become a medical tyrant."
Yu Zhiming snorted twice and said, "If I had made a different decision, I think you would have come up with a different excuse."
Gu Qingran said seriously, "Although I usually favor my relatives over reason in small matters, I will not compromise on major issues. I always stick to my principles and act rationally."
He smiled and said, "Even if Gancaotang is eliminated in the end, it doesn't matter. We can still choose to cooperate with Ning'an Hospital."
Yu Zhiming said sarcastically, "I guess Gancaotang wouldn't like it."
Gu Qingran snorted twice and said, "Zhiming, I have another important news to tell you. Ning'an Group has just approved the development plan of Ning'an Hospital."
"Over the next five years, on top of the existing funding, we will allocate an additional 100 million yuan each year, primarily for the introduction and training of talent."
Gu Qingran said ostentatiously, "Zhiming, don't forget that our Ning'an Hospital has already achieved profitability."
"This means that in addition to the 100 million yuan in new funding each year, we also have hundreds of millions of yuan in funds to purchase the latest medical equipment and devices to further improve medical conditions."
"The rapid development of Ning'an Hospital is just around the corner."
Qing Ning, standing by, couldn't help but expose the truth, saying, "What's there to be proud of in front of my Zhiming? It's Zhiming who's responsible for everything that's happened at Ning'an Hospital."
Gu Qingran felt a little uncomfortable because of being choked. Looking at his sister and Yu Zhiming who were exchanging glances, he had to endure it.
He then asked, "Are you all ready for the sworn brotherhood ceremony tomorrow?"
Qing Ning replied, "Everything is ready. New clothes to wear and gifts for Shui Su, I've prepared them all."
She then warned, "Brother, don't come too late with your parents tomorrow. Come early to support Zhiming."
Gu Qingran reached out and flicked Qing Ning's forehead, saying, "Do you really need to explain this kind of thing? Just take care of your own business."
Qing Ning covered her forehead and moved away, protesting, "Brother, I'm not a child anymore. Don't hit my head again. If you do it again, I won't be polite."
Gu Qingran snorted softly and said, "How can you be so rude? You speak as if you can beat me."
Yu Zhiming was a little surprised and asked, "Brother-in-law, have you also practiced fighting?"
"I was the one who first taught Qing Ning how to fight."
After saying this, Gu Qingran clenched his fists and swung them like the wind for more than ten times.
"I mainly practice boxing. During the years I was abroad, I was a frequent visitor to gyms and boxing gyms."
"I've even sparred with professional boxers."
"It's more like being a target for others." Qing Ning muttered.
Gu Qingran glanced at this guy, then said to Yu Zhiming: "There is one more small matter..."
He smiled and said, "Zhiming, as the content of your lecture on heart sound differentiation spreads, the sales of this high-end stethoscope are soaring."
"A well-known domestic stethoscope brand contacted me through my connections. I hope you can give it some publicity and support this national brand."
"In the field of high-end stethoscopes, their products are no worse than those of foreign companies."
Yu Zhiming said in a deep voice: "Whether it is good or not is not just a matter of words, it depends on the quality of the product."
"If they can produce a stethoscope that's comparable in quality to those of the major foreign brands but at a much more affordable price, I'll naturally be willing to speak well of them."
Gu Qingran smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will pass on your words to them."
The next moment, he stood up and said, "I've said everything I need to say. I'm leaving now. I won't stay and annoy anyone."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said goodbye with Qingning.
After they were escorted to the elevator, Qing Ning suddenly said, "Brother, you've seen that although Zhiming doesn't drink, the people he hangs out with tend to have quite high tastes."
"Would you like to support me with some of this fine wine?"
Gu Qingran glanced at her and said, "I'm still in need of some good wine. Go talk to our dad about this..."
