During dinner, Li Shiqiang excitedly told his wife about his plans. They do not need to worry about setting up a hospital anymore. Now, they need to get the best equipment in China. They also need to hire some specialists and professors to set up the hospital.
Feng Yu told him that he can ask Fu Guangzheng for help to get the medical equipment. The Fu family does not only have the sales channels. They also have the purchasing channels. Although the Fu family does not deal in medicine, they can still contact the medical equipment companies in Europe and the US.
It was a pity that the former Soviet Union did not have any medical equipment companies, and Feng Yu could not take advantage of them. The former Soviet Union countries, like Russia, were still investing heavily in education, culture, health, etc. Naturally, they did not have any cheap and good second-hand equipment to sell to Feng Yu.
Feng Yu discussed with Li Shiqiang. It would be best to buy the most advanced equipment for the brain. No matter who, when it comes to the brain, they would be willing to spend money. Especially those rich people and government officials.
The second option was ultrasonography. Just identifying the gender of the fetus would be a lot of work. Of course, in another two years, this will be banned. But the higher-ups had their own policies. For example, when identifying the gender of the fetus, one could say: "Look, this is your child's head, this is his hand, and this is his penis." The other party would know it was a boy. If one said there was no penis, the other party would know it was a girl.
Feng Yu had to buy some expensive equipment that was rarely seen in China. As for the other normal equipment, the public hospitals or the affiliated hospitals of the medical universities also had them. Even if they bought it, they could not use it as a publicity stunt.
Another option was the sales of medicine. This was not referring to the commonly used medicine. Bing City had a big pharmaceutical company, and the prices of commonly used medicine could not be inflated.
Feng Yu wanted to sell health products or even health supplements. The profits from these products were high, and the people who were willing to buy these products were not short of money. As long as the products were effective, these people would not hesitate to spend money.
Of course, these were all just ideas. The City Government had to agree to change the Machinery Company's hospital to a shareholding commercial hospital.
Private hospitals had appeared since the beginning of the reforms. However, at that time, most of them appeared in the coastal areas of the south. At first, there were only a few individual clinics. Then, there were a few people working together to establish a specialized hospital. Later, there were general hospitals.
However, just like the problem Li Shiqiang encountered, it was very easy for a doctor from a public hospital to open a clinic, and the procedures would not be particularly complicated.
However, if it was a specialized hospital with more than ten beds, the audit would be very strict. This was because public hospitals were basically not making money at this time, and they still needed government subsidies. If there were more private hospitals, then the losses of public hospitals would be even more severe, and the government would have to spend even more money on them!
For this purpose, the Ministry of Health would be very strict in the examination and approval, which was equivalent to a kind of protection for public hospitals.
Since the government allowed private hospitals to be set up, then it should not be a problem for the Machinery Company's staff hospital to be changed to a shareholding hospital.
But when Feng Yu went to the City and looked for Zhang Ruiqiang to speed up the approval process, Zhang Ruiqiang rejected him!
"That is the Machinery Company's hospital. How can it be a private hospital? Also, what did you say? Hospitals can have a shareholding system? And for profit? Don't you feel guilty? "Zhang Ruiqiang rebuked.
"Why should I feel guilty? The doctors had to work hard to save lives, and the hospital had to pay for the medicines, equipment, wards, operating theatre, etc. Why can't they get paid for their hard work? Don't tell me those medical centers in the ancient times do not make money? Don't those doctors need to make money to support their families? "Feng Yu retorted.
"You are twisting words! This is to prevent those profit-oriented hospitals from appearing. That's why we set up public hospitals. The government even gives subsidies to these hospitals every year. This is to ensure that everyone can afford to see a doctor. You want to rely on this to make money? Do you lack money? "
Zhang Ruiqiang looked at Feng Yu with disdain. Others might not know, but how can I not know? You had invested more than 1 billion RMB into the Machinery Company. I don't know if you are the richest man in China, but you are definitely the richest man in Bing City and Longjiang Province!
Other than the Machinery Company, you still have the humidifiers, bladeless fans, pig farm, food processing factory, etc. All of these businesses are making money, and you still want to rely on a hospital to make money? You are too evil!
Feng Yu was speechless. Why is it that I do not lack money and I can continue to make money? Furthermore, what kind of service do those public hospitals have? The quality of the doctors is also not the same. If not, why do the citizens still need to choose which hospital to stay in when they are sick? You all are still choosing the best hospital in Bing City.
"I am running a hospital, and the fees I charge are in line with the industry standards and health regulations. What's wrong with this? Furthermore, I am still responsible for the Machinery Company. The Machinery Company's workers and their families, including the retired workers, can still enjoy the subsidies. We can open our hospitals to the public and earn some money. This way, we can provide more subsidies to our workers and their families. This will also increase the doctors' income. We will not be like those public hospitals that ask for red packets from the patients' families before the surgery! "
In this era, there were cases of doctors asking for red packets from the patients' families. Last month, Bing City's news had reported about this incident. Although that doctor was fired, but the public's impression of the hospital had dropped. Even the government was implicated.
Someone said that when you go to the government for work, you must also give red packets, gifts and treat your guests to meals. Someone said that this is called, "If you are polite, you can go anywhere. If you are not polite, you will not be able to do anything!"
"I don't understand. Didn't you say that you want to have a good reputation? You had donated so many schools. Why can't you do the same for the hospitals?" Zhang Ruiqiang was puzzled.
Feng Yu looked up at the ceiling: "How is that the same? I had donated so many school buildings in Bing City is to repay my hometown. This way, my parents will be able to go out with pride. Our country is promoting science and education, right? I am also responding to the call of the country. But the country did not say that private hospitals must be for the welfare of the people. Furthermore, I had started to donate to those universities. In the future, when my company wants to hire people, I just need to mention that the schools' Tai Hua Buildings were donated by my company. Those people will be willing to work for my company even if my competitor is a government agency! "
Zhang Ruiqiang had a look of disbelief on his face. He had never thought that Feng Yu had this motive for donating school buildings to the universities! All along, he had admired Feng Yu. But now, he realized that Feng Yu was a businessman. Every investment he made had a motive!
