1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 207: Chain (3)

(Sure enough, I took a walk around the small dark room in the last chapter)
Feng Yuan smiled calmly, "In fact, there have been sporadic greenhouse vegetable plantings in Shandong since the early and mid-1980s. However, this technology, which was learned directly from the Northeast, is low and narrow, and can only grow leafy vegetables. Not only is it inefficient, but the most important thing is that it wastes energy. A greenhouse needs to burn more than 5 tons of coal in winter, which has a huge disadvantage in terms of cost performance... The people in the north do have a serious shortage of fresh fruits and vegetables in winter, but this does not mean that they can afford the price of fruits and vegetables, which can be dozens of yuan per kilogram."

"But after several years of experimentation, the secretary of Sanyuan Zhu Village has discovered a winter-warm vegetable greenhouse technology that does not require heating, which has solved this problem very well... Although the winter cucumbers grown in their 17 demonstration greenhouses were bought by buyers at high prices last winter, and the final selling price in some local markets even exceeded 10 yuan per kilogram, this price is already within the range that ordinary people can barely accept."

"So, as long as we can introduce this winter-warm greenhouse planting technology and plant winter vegetables on a large scale ahead of others, it will not only significantly increase the income of villagers, but also become a demonstrative star project of the vegetable basket project... You know, after planting winter vegetables on a large scale, these vegetables can no longer be sold at a high price of 10 yuan per catty. Although it will still be significantly higher than the price of seasonal vegetables, it is definitely a people-benefiting project in this special environment and season of winter in the north!"

Ma Yiqing nodded, agreeing with Feng Yuan's statement.

"Being one step ahead" is the only way to achieve results. Last year, the news that Sanyuan Zhu Village grew winter cucumbers was reported in the newspapers, which caused a stir. Although for various reasons, all places have maintained a wait-and-see attitude, according to occasional follow-up reports, it is a real fact that Sanyuan Zhu Village has expanded the number of greenhouses this year.

This kind of thing is actually very easy to distinguish in the eyes of their chief officers. If these additional greenhouses were built by the village secretary forcefully, then this so-called winter-warm vegetable greenhouse technology must be fishy, ​​and perhaps there are major flaws.
But if these additional greenhouses are requested by the villagers on their own initiative, then there is basically no doubt that this technology is a real treasure for generating income.

And if the reporter who interviewed him at the time had not been fooled, then the situation in Sanyuan Zhu Village should belong to the latter... In other words, the winter-warm vegetable greenhouse technology that Secretary Wang of Sanyuan Zhu Village spent several years exploring is indeed a relatively satisfactory cost-effectiveness ratio for winter vegetable cultivation technology.

Since the cost of cucumbers grown in 17 experimental greenhouses using this technology can be controlled within a range that is barely acceptable to the people, it is inevitable that the cost of growing vegetables will be cut in half if it is rolled out on a large scale... No, the area of ​​Linyi County is definitely not comparable to a small village. As long as we are willing to promote it vigorously, and with sufficient funds and materials, it will be easy to grow vegetables on a scale of thousands or even tens of thousands of acres. By then, the cost of growing vegetables for the winter will not be as simple as cutting them in half.

Oh, with just one county, we can produce enough winter fruits and vegetables for several city-level areas, and supply them at a relatively affordable price. At this stage, it would be strange if we didn’t get praised internally for such an achievement!

However, he also roughly understood what Feng Yuan meant by "resource complementarity".

As the saying goes, every stick has its own strengths and every inch has its own weaknesses. This kind of new large-scale planting model definitely requires the competent authorities to assign tasks and mobilize the masses. Even if the drilling company is rich, it is undoubtedly dreaming to convince so many people to try this new planting method without direct causal involvement!
Moreover, even if the drilling company is a state-owned enterprise, it is definitely not an easy task to obtain the winter-warm vegetable greenhouse technology from Sanyuan Zhu Village and the guidance of relevant experienced people.

This is not to say that Secretary Wang is stingy and unwilling to share his technology. Before 1994, most Chinese people, especially managers of state-owned enterprises and rural grassroots managers, had no awareness of technical patents... At that time, not only did they have no sense of confidentiality in this regard, but for many people, being able to spread the technology and experience of their own exploration and invention was an extremely honorable thing.

However, when it comes to income generation, there is a difference between close and distant parties. This year, Sanyuan Village is vigorously expanding the number of greenhouses in the village. With a limited number of experienced people, how can it be so easy to send the already tight manpower to provide technical guidance to an unrelated enterprise in another county?
However, if this matter was handled by the competent authorities of Linyi County, it would be a different matter. It is estimated that once the invitation is sent out, the people from Sanyuan Village will happily come over the next day to give work reports and technical guidance.

But let’s be clear, since it is a “resource exchange”, it is impossible for Linyi County to make unilateral contributions.

In fact, the county government has no shortage of administrative resources, but what they lack is other things.

Therefore, Ma Yiqing only thought for a few seconds, and then looked at Feng Yuan steadily: "This idea is feasible, but Mr. Feng, I want to know, how does your company plan to cooperate?"

Hearing the county magistrate's words so tactfully, Feng Yuan smiled gently, and then his eyes became sharp: "First, if the county's planned greenhouse planting area is not less than 3000 acres, the plastic-coated steel pipes, galvanized steel pipes, polyethylene films, grouting films, reflective films, top springs, U-shaped cards and other materials needed for the construction of the greenhouses can be paid for by us in advance;"

"But it should be noted that these materials will not be purchased locally, but will be transported from the southwest region by suppliers designated by our company."

Feng Yuan smiled apologetically and said, "Your Excellency, you know that the biggest initial cost of the winter vegetable planting project is the construction of greenhouses, and the cost of such greenhouses is not low. Even if we calculate it based on one greenhouse per acre, 3000 acres of planting area will require 3000 greenhouses. I can't come up with that much money all at once."

"So... I can only seek help from the brothers in the drilling company."

"But this matter should be viewed separately. Although these materials need to be transported from the southwest, and the costs and expenses are much higher than local procurement, it can get the work done in one go... You know, this kind of project is actually a race against time. The sooner the winter vegetables are planted, the better the benefits and the more outstanding the results."

"As far as I know, many regions are actually very interested in large-scale greenhouse winter vegetable cultivation and have plans to try it, but they are stuck in the infrastructure investment. Being able to do it in one step is actually a big advantage."

"Besides, these suppliers are either central enterprises or state-owned enterprises. Not only is the product quality guaranteed, but the installment amount and interest can also be negotiated... After all, we are contributing to the people-friendly project of the vegetable basket!"

Ma Yiqing looked at Feng Yuan with interest, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Boss Feng is very good at learning and summarizing advanced experience... In this way, we are actually taking advantage!"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Feng Yuan's approach was learned from the special working group's debt swap approach, but the difference was that although Feng Yuan also took the route of advance payment, the leverage effect in the middle was far less effective.

what?
Do you think that in this day and age where triangular debts have become a huge problem, a bunch of companies in Southwest China are being foolish by still writing IOUs?
Please, you have to understand that this kind of IOU between the competent authority and the IOU of the enterprise are two different things!
Not to mention that before the tax-sharing reform, the IOUs issued by local competent authorities were backed by the imperial court. Even after the tax-sharing reform, it was not difficult for the competent authorities to "flexibly redeem" the IOUs issued to state-owned enterprises. Otherwise, what do you think the local municipal investment companies do?
Of course, if you are a private enterprise, that’s a different matter.

Facing Ma Yiqing's slightly teasing words, Feng Yuan said without taking offense: "As a human being, we should always learn some advanced experiences that are worth learning from... Everyone has a different position and starting point, so some things are naturally impossible to copy."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan smiled at Ma Yiqing: "I know that if that's all, even if the county lord has made achievements, there will inevitably be people gossiping behind his back, and there will definitely be words like "disregarding the life and death of local companies for the sake of achievements";"

"But I want to say that Your Excellency the County Master does not need to worry too much about this. The advance payment of these materials is only the basis for our initial cooperation... I don't know much about business matters, but I guess it's just a matter of you buying and me selling, a give and take;"

"If the county magistrate is willing to accept the goodwill of our drilling company and a number of brother units in the southwest, with the enthusiasm of us southwestern people, I believe we will not disappoint the county magistrate too much."

Hearing the meaning behind Feng Yuan's words, Ma Yiqing immediately became interested: "Oh?"

Feng Yuan picked up the teacup on the tea table and took a sip. "According to the court's preliminary design, the vegetable basket project will be composed of four major systems, namely the production system, the supply system, the large circulation system, and the safety system;"

"The court's current focus is on the production system, supply system, and large-scale circulation system... Of course, these three systems are interdependent and affect each other. If any link goes wrong, it will cause a serious chain reaction. Therefore, even if a three-pronged approach will make the work more difficult, we have to fight on three fronts."

"In fact, this is also an important reason why the vegetable basket project in various places has been progressing slowly. After all, given the local fiscal budgets and the current economic environment, it is too difficult to roll out work on multiple fronts."

At this point, Feng Yuan smiled confidently: "So, if the county lord is interested in this cooperation, the second support that the drilling company and a number of southwestern brother units can provide is..."

"If some companies in Linyi County allow Momobai, which is affiliated to the drilling company, to invest in it, then whether it is fresh fruits and vegetables that are out of season, or canned fruits, pickles, local specialties and other products produced in Linyi County, we and our brother companies in the southwest are willing to purchase these products as much as possible within our capabilities."

At this point, Feng Yuan explained: "It should be noted that there are currently 106 brother units in the southwest that have reached a consensus... Although the number of units is not large, and these units are large and small, the number of employees directly covered is about 37."

"Although most of the products produced in Linyi County are unlikely to appear in the hands of these employees at a high frequency due to the complementarity and seasonality of the products, no matter what, the number of people is there, which can at least help Linyi County's products solve a very large sales volume, right?"

Feng Yuan smiled softly as he spoke: "The most valuable sentence I have learned from the special working group during this period is [demand leads to demand, and there is demand only when there is demand];"

"Although our drilling company cannot participate in the construction of the Linyi County Vegetable Basket Project's agricultural and sideline products market and the urban and rural trade market, we can help the county build a market that integrates consumption and distribution in another way... I forgot to mention that many of these brother companies have tertiary industry projects involving food processing and import and export trade. Therefore, there is room for further cooperation in some of the fruits and vegetables and fruit raw materials produced in Linyi County. Adding up all the bits and pieces, it is also a considerable number."

"In fact, if everything goes well, when the scale of this cross-provincial remote cooperation is further expanded, infrastructure including logistics transport fleets and cold chain warehousing will inevitably be put on the agenda... By then, with the feedback from the previous benefits, it will not be difficult to imagine that Linyi County will take the lead in initially building its own large-scale circulation system."

Hearing this, even though Ma Yiqing was very good at cultivating his Qi, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and his breathing became rapid.

A remote market of 37 people!

This already exceeds 60% of the total population of Linyi County!
Moreover, unlike the situation in Linyi County, these 37 people are all employees with good purchasing power... Although he guessed that those southwestern enterprises must be consuming the off-season vegetables and specialties produced in Linyi County in the name of welfare purchases and daily consumption, which is different from the daily consumption of local people, but considering the base number, this is really a large number.

It can be said that even if Linyi County built 37 acres of winter vegetable greenhouses, those high-priced fruits and vegetables would have no trouble selling... These people are enough to absorb most of the production capacity even if they purchase once a month.

The most important thing is that once the raw material supply route for the tertiary industry projects with the three southwestern provinces is opened up, your name will definitely be included in the credit book for revitalizing the local economy of Linyi County... Even if it is a long-term contribution, this credit will not be small.

You know, like most areas at present, Linyi County walks on two legs, and the output value of industry and agriculture are similar, each accounting for about 43%.

Among the three southwestern provinces, Bashu is the most populous province. Although more than 80% of its GDP is concentrated in the two cities of Chengdu and Chongqing, even so, as long as it can get a small piece of the pie, it is a very attractive number for a small northern county with a not very developed economy.

Southern Yunnan is a major foreign trade province that is not well known to the general public. Western Europe, Northeast Asia, and Southeast Asia all like to import products from here. Although their exports in this regard are still mainly minerals, metals, and agricultural raw materials, there are also many primary processed foods and small machinery. They even have the intention of developing Southeast Asia into their back garden... The most outrageous thing is that they have Shanghai, an all-round market, which has contracted their countless products and investment projects with an extremely ambiguous attitude.

It can be said that although China is about to face an export freeze period, as long as it can establish a real connection with southern Yunnan, whether it is the agricultural and sideline products of Linyi or some chemical raw materials or even electromechanical spare parts, they will all find valuable funnel markets and distribution channels... Although there is no such thing as the Lancang-Mekong Economic Zone at this time, it has a basic prototype, and everyone on earth knows that in the 1980s and 1990s, many Southeast Asian regions did not sell much to America.

However, there is absolutely no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The other party actually mobilized all resources to promote this project. Although everyone with a discerning eye knew that this was to compete with Wang Yinuo, they would definitely not be so selfless to help him.

After taking a deep breath, Ma Yiqing asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Feng, what are your conditions?"

Hearing this, Feng Yuan's expression also became serious: "First, I hope that the county lord will cooperate with Momo Baitou's cooperation at that time... When the time comes, we will communicate with you in advance about which company we want to invest in... At that time, the shares we will get may not be many, but we must have them. This is a status, and it is also related to the depth and breadth of the subsequent business cooperation with brother units in the southwest. Please support us, county lord!"

Ma Yiqing frowned and thought deeply for a while, then finally nodded: "Okay, I'll try my best."

Feng Yuan nodded: "Secondly, for all the invested companies, I hope that the county lord can help Momo Baitou to gain a certain say in management... I will not hide it from you, some of the equipment and means of production of these companies must be directed to those brother companies in the southwest. Only when they circulate between each other can the cooperation between the two sides go further and further!"

Ma Yiqing was not surprised by this. After all, this was a routine assistance operation between state-owned enterprises. He nodded and said, "No problem."

After making two requests that were not that sensitive, Feng Yuan's expression became serious: "The county magistrate may not be very clear. The reason why I insisted on involving Momo Baitou this time is not entirely because this third-level unit is under my charge;"

"In fact, we all know that if we want to successfully achieve results in the vegetable basket project within this year, in addition to the most important initial investment, how to properly divert these production capacities and how to gradually use this as an opportunity to build a good cooperative relationship with brother units in the southwest with positive feedback are also top priorities."

“And this requires a very professional and capable operator!”

"To put it mildly, I can help mobilize resources in the southwest, and I can also help solve the problem of start-up funds and materials for the greenhouse vegetables in Guixian County, but I don't think I have the ability to handle the following specific work... In fact, I have reservations about whether Guixian County can select a truly suitable talent!"

Ma Yiqing was silent for a while. Although Feng Yuan's words were a bit harsh, it was difficult for him to refute them.

Unlike later generations, today's top talents are basically concentrated in central enterprises, large state-owned enterprises with good benefits, and competent units/institutions above the county level, while county-level and below competent units are actually facing the dilemma of talent shortage. In the current economic winter, if you want to start the vegetable basket project as quickly as possible and make achievements, the difficulty can be imagined. Even senior executives of central enterprises like Vice President Feng do not have the confidence to be operators, let alone other people in the county government... Ma Yiqing has the ambition to try, but he is a county magistrate, and he has countless tasks to deal with and handle every day. It is impossible for him to have the time to act as the specific executor of this project.

However, he understood the implication of Feng Yuan's words and asked in surprise, "Boss Feng, do you mean... is there a suitable candidate at Momo Baitou?"

Feng Yuan nodded, then shook his head: "If everything goes well, it should be available in a month or two."

Ma Yiqing frowned: "Maybe?"

Feng Yuan smiled modestly: "So my third condition is... I hope that the county lord can help us convince the supply and marketing system of your county to establish a cooperative relationship with us."

! ! ! ? ? ?
Ma Yiqing frowned even deeper, looking at Feng Yuan with suspicion in his eyes.

The other party is a senior executive of a central enterprise. The cooperation they talk about cannot be a simple and ordinary cooperation. Moreover, at this point in time, the inside story cannot be simple.

However, although the county supply and marketing system is only a public institution, it is impossible for you not to know the actual situation in Linyi County. What are you planning on by suddenly bringing this up as a condition at this juncture?
After thinking for a while, Ma Yiqing said in a deep voice: "I can try to push it forward...but I need a reason."

Feng Yuan understood immediately and smiled softly: "The large-scale braised chicken processing factory jointly invested by Xinsheng Catering Management Company and Momo Baitou will be put into operation in a month at most... The employees of those brother companies in the southwest are very curious about the famous Dezhou Braised Chicken, and they all clamor to try it;"

"But the county lord also knows that although this braised chicken farm has reached a cooperative relationship with three local agricultural and livestock units, and these three units will be able to provide about 15 whole chicken raw materials in the first batch after the braised chicken farm is officially put into operation;"

"But it's not enough!"

At this point, Feng Yuan's eyes were full of smiles. "You know, even though I tried my best to dissuade them, more than 80 of the more than 47 brother companies in the three southwestern provinces still ordered roast chicken from us, and the first batch of orders was as high as ... It was said that the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival were coming soon, and they were worrying about how to arrange holiday benefits for their employees and their families. My roast chicken factory was like a pillow delivered just before going to bed."

Feng Yuan spread his hands helplessly, with a hint of sigh in his tone: "Although I know that it is the enthusiasm of those brother units, and they want to help each other out of their life-long friendship, but the problem is... the order of 47 roast chickens, the difference in raw materials is as much as 32!"

"We in the southwest are straightforward. If the first batch of orders can only deliver 15 roast chickens, those brother companies will not say anything, but they will probably think that this roast chicken factory has only this much production capacity, and they will probably be too embarrassed to place orders with us."

After sighing heavily, Feng Yuan showed a conflicted look on his face: "To be honest, according to my plan, this roast chicken factory was built in phases. Although the first phase only has an annual production capacity of 100 million chickens, after the third phase is completed, the production capacity will be increased to 350 million chickens per year;"

"I had planned to adopt the idea of ​​selling goods from the north to the south to contribute to the economic development of Linyi County. At the very least, it would be great to promote the local broiler breeding and roast chicken processing industries."

"But the problem is that we don't have much experience in operating large-scale commercial projects, and we didn't expect that those brother companies in the southwest would be so enthusiastic about this... So, we got stuck at the first stage."

"Although I don't have much business experience, I know that the first shot of opening a business is the most important. If the first order fails because of our own fault, how can we have the face to beg those brother companies to patronize our business in the future?"

"So... we can only ask the county lord for help?"

Hearing Feng Yuan's Versailles and slightly threatening request, Ma Yiqing's eyes twitched.

What does "mutual life-long friendship" mean?
Are you showing off your drilling company's strong influence and control over those southwestern enterprises?

What does "You didn't expect those southwestern brother units to be so enthusiastic" mean?
If you hadn't carefully planned and communicated about that order of 47 roast chickens, I would have swallowed this ashtray immediately!
Oh, are you showing me your strength?

However, it has to be admitted that Feng Yuan's trick was very effective.

Regardless of the nature of the cooperation, it is important to appropriately display your own strengths.

Since Feng Yuan was able to get those southwestern companies to place orders for 47 roast chickens before the roast chicken farm was built, then what he said before, whether it was off-season fruits and vegetables or the supply and delivery of other agricultural products and raw materials and accessories, were no longer just empty words... At least he proved that he had the energy to fulfill his contract.

Although the other party was a senior executive of a central enterprise and was unlikely to fool him, after seeing the other party show such a trick, Ma Yiqing attached more importance to this cooperation. He thought: "Mr. Feng, do you mean that you hope the county supply and marketing system can help you make up the supply of raw materials for these 32 roast chickens?"

Feng Yuan nodded: "That's right. Linyi County is not a traditional livestock county. Apart from those medium-sized livestock companies, there is no other suitable source of raw materials. Unfortunately, we don't have a very suitable channel for purchasing broiler chickens, and we can't guarantee the quality and price of the raw materials for roast chicken... So, we can only hope that the county supply and marketing system can help with this."

Ma Yiqing saw through his plan at a glance.

What does it mean that there is no suitable purchasing channel?

It's obvious that you're planning to take advantage of the county's supply and marketing system to buy up all the idle broiler chicken materials in the neighboring counties!
If Ma Yiqing still doesn't understand that this guy is actually targeting the star project of Momo Baizha, then all these years would have been wasted... He has naturally heard about the series of good things that have happened inside the drilling company during this period, and he can naturally see where the real lifeblood of Momo Baizha, which is famous for its affordable prices, is at this stage.

only……

What is the purpose of targeting Mo Mo Bai Bomb so much?
Logically speaking, the most important thing for Vice President Feng right now should be to arm wrestle with Wang Yinuo. Why is he so obsessed with a tertiary industry project that seems unrelated?
Ma Yiqing's mind started working at a very fast speed, and soon he vaguely grasped the key.

The only project that Vice President Feng has that could possibly surpass Wang Yinuo is the vegetable basket promotion project he mentioned today;

If the vegetable basket project is to achieve outstanding results by the end of this year, the selection of the subsequent operator is one of the two most important key factors;

The name that Vice President Feng kept mentioning today was Momo Baitou;

This third-level sub-unit was said to be established based on the opinion of a young man in their company;
It is said that the young man was forcibly recruited to the special working group by Wang Yinuo some time ago;
and……

It is said that the debt replacement model was also devised by that young man.

The key is……

There seems to be a rumor that this young man is not getting along very well with Wang Yinuo and is now recuperating in the hospital?
After feeling that he had understood the entire thread, Ma Yiqing suddenly felt refreshed.

After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said, "Since Mr. Feng has the ambition to expand the production capacity of this roast chicken factory to 350 million chickens, it will be a great thing for the animal husbandry industry in Linyi County... For the development of the county's industry, I naturally have no choice but to do my part. I'm sure the county's supply and marketing system will not object to such a good thing that benefits the country and the people, right?"

This statement undoubtedly gave Feng Yuan a positive response.

Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Although the third condition seems to be the simplest and easiest to accomplish, as if it can be implemented by holding a meeting, in fact, given Ma Yiqing's current situation, this is the most difficult thing to do.

Although he didn't know how the other party would eventually communicate with the county supply and marketing system, nor did he know what kind of concessions Ma Yiqing would make elsewhere in the process, this had nothing to do with him... He was now very pressed for time, and as long as the plan could be completed step by step at the pace he imagined, it would be fine.

Seeing Feng Yuan's body relax slightly, Ma Yiqing looked at him with a smile: "Boss Feng, I've heard that the units in the oil system are very daring and aggressive, and they are very ambitious, and there are many big moves that spend a lot of money... I was skeptical at first, but now that I see it, it's really as good as the reputation."

Feng Yuan had a strange expression on his face when he heard this. He didn't understand whether the other party was praising him sincerely or making sarcastic remarks... After all, in the past ten years, the oil system had been taken advantage of more than once or twice at home and abroad.

Seeing this, Ma Yiqing waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much, Mr. Feng. I really speak from the bottom of my heart. After all, your Mr. Wang raised 700 million yuan on his own and shouldered the heavy burden of solving the triangular debt problem of local enterprises. It is really admirable. "

"And Vice President Feng, you are not far behind. You are actually thinking of promoting the vegetable basket project in Linyi County by linking up with brother companies in the southwest. The actual investment scale may not be as grand as President Wang's, but in terms of benefiting the country and the people, it is not inferior to President Wang at all."

Seeing that Feng Yuan's face looked much better, Ma Yiqing smiled slightly: "Of course, what impressed me more was your decisiveness, Mr. Feng."

After sighing a little, Ma Yiqing looked at Feng Yuan with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "You've made so many big moves, but it's just to wait for the position to be vacant... Mr. Feng, your desire for and importance of talent is really beyond everyone's expectations!"

Hearing this, Feng Yuan glanced at Ma Yiqing meaningfully, and then burst into laughter.

However, he avoided the topic and did not give his own answer.

Is the position vacant waiting for you?
This cannot be said to be wrong.

If Yang Mo is sensible and comes over to express his stance, then there is nothing to say and both sides will put aside their past grudges. I will also delegate power to him to the greatest extent possible and let Wang Yinuo see what it means to find the person who tied the bell to untie it.

But if this guy doesn't have good eyesight, don't blame yourself for not giving him a chance.

Ah……

Locking down the source of broiler raw materials for Mo Mo Bai Fry as much as possible is only the first step. You have already personally taken action. Do you think that this is all the means you can use?

There are more links waiting to come!
Thinking of this, Feng Yuan's eyes sharpened and his gaze unconsciously drifted somewhere.

And that direction is exactly where the staff hospital is located...
