I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 55 High-Quality Enterprises
Everyone knows that "Zhang An Education" has entered the exam-cramming mode, so the other high schools in Shazhou City are quite nervous and have sent people to exchange information and inquire. However, at this time, Xindongwei Port Middle School has already entered closed management.

Although it's described as a closed-off area, it's not completely isolated. They even organized a social event and a spring e-sports competition. The sports activities weren't competitive; they were integrated into the social events, focusing on fun rather than competition—just enough to get some exercise and break a sweat.

It's mainly to prevent spring colds.

The health center in Binjiang Town officially demolished a permanent clinic on Zhuangyuan Street, which also paid a proper rent of 20,000 yuan a year, of course, this money was paid by the health bureau.

And believe it or not, we broke even that month.

There's no other way. With so many people accompanying their children to school and so many people from the surrounding villages, the total size is equivalent to the central street of a regular town.

Binjiang Town also separated a "Zhuangyuan Farmers Market" from the town's vegetable market. The management unit is still Binjiang Town, but the stall fees are paid to "Zhuangyuan Street".

There is now a "Zhuangyuan Street Management Office" that manages a lot of things, but its main function is actually similar to property management, since it is not a law enforcement agency or department.

Once the Binjiang Urban Management Office set up an office here, everything was complete.

Traffic lights were installed at both ends of Zhuangyuan Road last year, and they even have countdown timers.

Traffic police are on duty at the intersection every day, mainly checking tractors to enter, as agricultural tractors are too noisy. The area around Xindongwei Port Middle School has been designated as a no-honking zone.

The Shazhou City Education Bureau consulted Zhang Da'an about whether to include Binjiang Middle School in this year's high school entrance examination venues. After being rejected, the examination venue will remain Binjiang Middle School this year.

In fact, in terms of the scale and quality of the school's hardware facilities, Xindongweigang Middle School has far surpassed Binjiang Middle School and is comparable to the key high schools in the city.

These days, not many schools can afford to put together a synthetic running track, and even fewer have basketball courts like this.

Meanwhile, Xindongwei Port Middle School renovated the east-west inland waterway, and the city planned a sluice gate at the confluence of the canal. As a result, the water in the inland waterway became much cleaner. Zhang Da'an threw more than twenty boats there for the students to use for relaxation and fun.

Similar facilities include a planned swimming pool, while a table tennis and badminton hall already exists.

Swimming is basically the best sport for clearing your mind and releasing stress. However, as mentioned before, most schools do not have such facilities. Even if a school has a swimming pool, its function is not for students to clear their minds.

Each of these facilities costs at least several million, and Zhang Da'an spends them without batting an eye. But he has the confidence to do so because, even though it's only March or April, students and parents from various districts and counties in Wudu City have come to visit him.

Last year's fame and reputation, after more than half a year of word-of-mouth and fermentation in the public market, have been exaggerated to some extent.

However, many of them were just praying to gods and Buddhas, hoping that Zhang Da'an would take in their sons, even if they were scumbags or mentally challenged.

Unlike the college entrance exam retake, where the final results are yet to be seen, in the Wudu city area, "Zhang An Education" is already a well-known brand for middle school retakes. It doesn't need much advertising; among parents in rural middle schools, whether they are rich or poor, everyone knows about this company that can turn the impossible into the possible.

This positive word-of-mouth translates into high market conversion rates, which is Zhang Da'an's confidence to continue spending money lavishly. He dares not say anything else this year, but doubling the size of his middle school entrance exam retake classes is no problem, and breaking 20 million in revenue is a certainty. Whether he can reach the 30 million mark depends on how explosive the results of this year's middle school entrance exams are.

Last year was quite successful in Shazhou City; they "washed" the entire city in blood. Whether they can stir up a similar "bloodbath" in the entire Wudu City remains to be seen this year. By adopting a two-pronged approach, even if college entrance exam retake classes are suspended, middle school entrance exam retake classes can still operate in Wudu City. Allowing them to operate freely and reaching a volume of over 50 million students isn't impossible. However, at that point, they will have to take on some of the teaching duties previously assigned to compulsory education.

There are advantages and disadvantages. For example, the advantage is that the government pays for the physical examinations of students in public schools, but Zhang Da'an pays for them himself. The expenditure on the physical examination fee alone is several million yuan a year. Even with the discount at the township hospital, it is still no less than 1.5 million yuan.

When Zhang Da'an had his physical examination last year, he wanted to take over the town hospital in Binjiang Town.

Unfortunately, it requires ten million, but I regret that I don't have enough money.

Bank loans have designated uses; no matter how you try to disguise them, you can't disguise them as buying a town hospital.

Although township hospitals are all operating at a loss these days, and some small public hospitals are indeed being privatized in various places, it depends on the location. In economically underdeveloped counties and cities, a few million yuan can solve the problem, and even a few hundred thousand yuan is not impossible. Although Shazhou City cannot compare with big cities, it is still better than some but not as good as others. Township hospitals are generally at the second-class level, and a few hundred thousand yuan is definitely not enough to solve the problem.

Need to pay more.

Given the current situation, Zhang Da'an has to spend millions of yuan on medical check-up fees every year, which is really a bit painful. He might as well just buy a hospital and make do with it.

It doesn't matter if we can't make money externally, as long as we can play a role internally.

Consider the medical examination fee as an allowance for the doctors and nurses.

Believe it or not, because of this idea, the city actually came up with a plan for him. Private hospitals are far from the city center, so this is a viable option. The town hospital in Binjiang Town may be a bit lacking, but it has all the necessary beds and facilities. It could be used specifically for physical examinations, which wouldn't be a bad idea.

If it were any other entrepreneur, the city might not necessarily recommend them, but Zhang Da'an is completely different.

This brings us to the parents who pay the enrollment fee at "Zhang An Education." They are generally from rural areas and are either rich or powerful. They may be a bit rustic, but they are dozens or even hundreds of small business owners, each with their own factory and a dozen or twenty workers. That adds up to thousands of people.

A routine physical examination once a year, with a discount and a little subsidy from the local government, costs about 200 yuan per person, which is enough to support a physical examination center.

The favors that Zhang Da'anla students' parents do are completely different in scale from the favors others seek.

Each year, as many students are sent to key provincial universities, local business owners are willing to offer a small favor, or even add a package deal, upgrading the medical examination from basic to comprehensive.

From a preventative screening perspective, Zhang Da'an is also a very high-quality potential buyer, far superior to those shady and unscrupulous private medical groups.

Therefore, in order to make our stance clear and prevent Zhang Da'an from thinking that the Health Bureau was "closing the door to beat the dog," in May, we partnered with Xindongweigang Middle School to set up a school hospital, based on the existing clinic on Zhuangyuan Street.

Unlike traditional middle school hospitals, the hospital at Xindongweigang Middle School is a little over 100 million square meters, covering an area of ​​more than 900 square meters. Zhang Da'an was completely baffled and couldn't understand what the city was doing.
