Those Years When I Was Forced to Top the Forbes List

Chapter 208 News from Chongqing

The First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China.

The hospital is very large and divided into several sections.

When Chen Xuebing accompanied the Cheng family to the hospital, Dean Ma from the South District came over in person.

After reviewing the footage taken previously, a comprehensive check-up was arranged.

"The patient's blood vessels are stenotic to the point of 60%, with blood deposits in the left atrial appendage. Since the patient is relatively young, at 49 years old, our suggestion is to postpone the stent procedure and opt for interventional therapy. If the blood vessels become severely lesioned and the stenosis exceeds 70%, we will promptly use other treatment methods. The family members will come to sign the consent form in a moment."

The director's voice was like a judge of fate, announcing Cheng's mother's new destiny.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Danting said with some excitement:
"Doctor, does my mom really not need a stent?"

Stents can save lives, but once they are placed, they cannot be removed. The five-year survival rate after surgery is relatively high, but it is hard to say what the survival rate will be after ten or twenty years.

"Don't worry, there's a high chance."

With General Manager Chen present, the director made a rare remark.

These words almost brought tears to the eyes of both father and daughter.

During this period, all they heard was "the risk is very high".

"Mr. Chen, the city has already informed us to arrange a single room, but the rooms upstairs are currently occupied. Could you wait a day?"

Dean Ma said with some difficulty.

Chen Xuebing looked at Cheng's father: "Uncle, since the patient will be transferred to the ICU after the intervention, and the hospital has many patients to take care of, let's not give them special treatment. What do you think?"

Mr. Cheng immediately nodded: "Yes! We are already very grateful!"

Seeing that General Manager Chen was so understanding, Dean Ma smiled and said, "Director Hu, take good care of the patient. If a consultation is needed, arrange it promptly."

"rest assured!"

After waiting a while, Chen Xuebing helped call a caregiver, and only then did the father and daughter feel relieved enough to leave the ward.

“Uncle Cheng, let’s treat this illness in Hefei. You’ll need to have follow-up appointments later. I’ve asked the city to arrange a guesthouse for you. It’s not far from here. Treatment will cost money, so let’s save money.”

This time, Chen Xuebing considered things much more comprehensively.

Mr. Cheng looked at Chen Xuebing again, deeply moved, and was about to say something to express his gratitude when a discordant voice appeared.

"Brother-in-law! The mayor really came just now?"

Cheng Danting's second aunt came over sleepily, but her eyes lit up when the mayor was mentioned.

Mr. Cheng's face fell, and all his emotions were released at that moment.

"You sleep like a log, you can't be woken up even by thunder!"

Chen Xuebing and Cheng Danting stifled their laughter as they strolled out.

……

The First Affiliated Hospital was even more overcrowded.

Cheng Danting looked down at the anxious crowd queuing up below. Not long ago, she had been one of them.

"Thank you so much... never mind, I'm too embarrassed to say thank you, it feels too frivolous."

Chen Xuebing turned his head and smiled: "That's good, I won't thank you for such a great kindness."

Cheng Danting glanced sideways, her eyes flashing: "President Chen is a capitalist. How can I ever repay such a great favor?"

"Hehe, the capitalist's favor is of course to keep it with interest compounding, and if you can't pay it back, you sell yourself to me."

Cheng Danting crossed her arms over her chest in a defensive stance.

Chen Xuebing grinned: "Don't overthink it. You're not selling yourself to me as a concubine, you're just working for me."

After saying that, he pointed to the crowd queuing in the lobby downstairs and said, "Look at them, their relatives are sick, and they still have to waste their time here. Aren't they pitiful?"

Cheng Danting then lowered her hands and slowly nodded.

Chen Xuebing then asked, "Can you empathize with them?"

This time, Cheng Danting nodded immediately.

"Then I'll give you a project: a website where you can book hospital appointments online. I'll invest in it, and once it's done, I'll help you get pilot programs in Hefei and even Anhui. How about that?"

That morning, Chen Xuebing lost all interest in picking up girls.

He is indeed a lustful man, but his ambition is even stronger.

Ever since he saw the medical privileges of green card holders, he has been thinking: these things that are considered privileges will be something that can be done by simply making an online appointment in the future.
You can also see the doctor's resume, education, qualifications, etc. for the appointment. Although targeted appointments cannot guarantee an appointment with an associate chief physician, as long as you are willing to wait, you can definitely get an appointment with a specialist.

Back then, there were fewer people in the hospital, not because there were fewer patients, but because there was no longer a waiting period.

This is the significance of technological equality.

This is not an easy task. But with the support of Hefei, he has secured a pilot program involving tens of millions of people, making it much easier for him to promote the program than others.

In other words, if you don't do it, you'll be wasting this opportunity.

"How do I do it? I don't know much about the internet," Cheng Danting asked hesitantly.

“How to do it is up to you to figure out. Put yourself in the shoes of a patient's family member. You happen to be in a very busy hospital right now. Besides addressing the patients' emotional needs, you can also talk to the nurses, doctors, and even the leaders about any difficulties the hospital is facing. I can ask the city to put in a good word for you; they won't ignore you. In fact, once your ideas are fully developed, I can even arrange for you to visit and investigate with leaders at the hospital director level. You have good abilities; you were already helping the Youth League teachers in your freshman year. The first thing in doing this is to integrate emotions into the product and become a spokesperson for the vast number of patients. As for the network construction, I will find someone to help you.” In Chen Xuebing's view, to create an internet product, an entrepreneur must first have a strong desire to climb the ladder, secondly, have experience and be able to empathize with the product's client-side, and finally, have strong organizational skills, etc.

Cheng Danting actually possesses all three of these qualities.

Of course, the most important thing was his help.

"Will you make money from this investment? Will it cost a lot of money?" Cheng Danting was worried that Chen Xuebing would lose money; it didn't seem like a profitable venture.

"Thinking about monetization channels first is a good idea," Chen Xuebing said with a smile. "Don't worry, the government invests a lot in healthcare and provides many subsidies. If you do well, you'll receive subsidies. You can also do advertising, online consultations, drug sales, and other value-added services. The healthcare market is huge. As long as you grasp even a small part of it, you can make a lot of money, and you can also raise funds through capitalization."

The most crucial point is actually traffic transfer.

This is a genuine necessity, and it's difficult to replicate in a short time. Unlike other internet products, it has barriers to entry and support, and it's not something you can quickly achieve by simply burning money.

Finding the right angle to approach him will become his most powerful weapon.

Cheng Danting has always been dissatisfied with the status quo. When she heard that she could make money and raise funds, she became excited and her mind gradually became clear.

"I need to find someone with medical knowledge to collaborate with. At the very least, they should be a medical student."

Chen Xuebing waved his hand: "Just don't look for that Ye Feng, he's lecherous, I don't like him."

Cheng Danting's pretty face immediately turned red, and she slapped his arm: "I won't look for him!"

Chen Xuebing loosened his elbow, creating an opening.

Realizing something, Cheng Danting put her hand, which had been on Chen Xuebing's arm, into the crook of his arm and took his arm.

The two walked outside the building, admiring the greenery and pavilions along the hospital road. They stopped talking, but their hands remained linked.

it is more than words.

With things to do during the Chinese New Year, time starts to fly by again.

The team from Gu'an Group is working intensively to collect information about the panel industry and conduct research and investigation in the Economic Development Zone. They are drafting a series of favorable conditions for BOE and Hefei, which have not yet reached an agreement, to save time for a negotiation that may not even take place.

Long March Capital, located in Chongqing, is also involved in collecting data on BOE and compiling it here.

The office is located in the city government building.

Cheng Danting lived next door and would sometimes come to Chen Xuebing with questions. She would then unconsciously observe Mr. Chen's work, staying for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Sharp's representatives did not come to Hefei. According to Kan Zhidong's intelligence, they temporarily left the negotiations in Shenzhen and returned to China, leaving the Shenzhen negotiation team, who were originally scheduled to work overtime, idle. The negotiations for the 7.5-generation line were temporarily shelved.

If it were the Chen Xuebing of the past, he would probably have speculated wildly about the conspiracy theories behind it.

But now that he understands Sharp's sluggish decision-making system, he simply said calmly that these people should have gone back to their home countries to receive new instructions from headquarters.

Sharp headquarters was probably a bit confused, wondering how a Hefei government had suddenly appeared, and was cautiously observing the situation.

Meanwhile, the million-plus yuan in funds remaining in the Gu'an Group's account was completely spent, and another million yuan was transferred from the construction labor company to the media reporters that Xu Jin, Wu Zisheng, and Li Xueling had helped contact.

Xu Jin used to be a fund manager at the Delong Group, so he naturally knew many financial journalists.

Wu Zisheng and Li Xueling originally worked in the media, especially Li Xueling, who is a troll and knows a lot of gossipy people.

A public opinion storm is quietly brewing.

February 6th, the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.

Monday is the first trading day for the stock market.

The government actually returned to work last Saturday and gave us two extra days off over the weekend.

On the Gu'an Group side, Administrative Director He Yue received an unexpected message: the CQ Municipal Office invited them to attend a financial conference on February 20th, which would be attended by representatives from 87 financial institutions in the city.

Including them, there are exactly 88 companies.

Chen Xuebing, however, was adamant about not participating in the lucky draw. He instructed He Yue to reply that Changzheng Capital would be relocating soon and therefore could not attend, but thanked the government for its attention.

As a result, before the market even opened this morning, Old Kan called, his tone earnest and earnest.

"Old Huang somehow found my number and called me. He was very nice and wanted you to cooperate with Yufu Capital. You could make money that way. Why don't you go and do it? Don't argue with the government."

Chen Xuebing sat in GuAn's private conference room, holding a teacup, casually staring at the stock market on the computer.

"I really don't have time. You know what's going on with BOE. It's a critical time right now. How can I possibly leave? If you really think I'm just being stubborn, I'll send a senior executive from Long March Capital to attend, just to add to their good fortune and wish them all the best, okay?"

"Have you ever thought about bringing in Chongqing capital as well? You promised the Hefei government 13 billion yuan. Even if Lu Xiaochun helps you raise 5 million yuan, what about the remaining 8 million yuan? Even if you can't get the Chongqing government funds, the attendees are all financial institutions. Find a few banks to partner with and help you issue products, wouldn't that solve some problems? Especially those ten or so insurance companies in Chongqing. With the stock market doing well now and the support of the share reform policy, with your profitability, go and tell them your story! I've already inquired for you. Several of them are also looking for stock market investment channels. Insurance funds are the highest quality money, with long-term investment and low annualized returns. They are typical patient capital. Which GP wouldn't want that?"

Kan Zhidong had clearly thought things through carefully for him and had even asked around for information, which touched him.

However, given the current situation with BOE, he didn't completely rule out any possibility of a definitive answer.

"We'll see when the time comes. I promise you I'll at least send Cai Zhijian, okay? He's a banker, he can talk to those people."

Two tables away, Cai Zhijian, who was concentrating on working on his negotiation plan, looked up with a puzzled expression.

Chen Xuebing waved his hand: "It's nothing, go do your work."

At 9:15, Xu Jin called to reconfirm BOE's stock purchase plan.

Chen Xuebing had already reviewed all the shares he held.

"According to the original plan, we will bid and sell 2000 million yuan worth of Moutai and China Shipbuilding stocks to prepare reserve funds, and help the old lady down the stairs."
