Chapter 370 Asking for a sky-high price, bargaining slowly. Doctor Li, what do you think?
"Lao Liu, please tell me first, what's the matter?"
Dean Tan is very busy and his time is very precious. He doesn't have time to listen to Professor Liu and Vice Dean Min exchanging pleasantries.
He made the decision for the two of them directly.
"Director, thanks to the efforts of Li Quan and others, the TCM department has admitted 13 patients to date. The TCM department is seriously understaffed, and the five of them have been on night shift for the past two days. Working all day and then on night shift at night is too intensive and prone to safety accidents.
So I am going to apply for three medical staff to work the night shift."
Professor Liu said with a serious face.
At the same time, he handed the information sheet provided by Li Quan to Dean Tan for review.
"Three?" Li Quan was shocked. He had just told the teacher that he only needed to apply for one.
The teacher must have heard it wrong.
According to hospital regulations, a department can apply to add one more medical staff member for every ten additional inpatients.
This medical staff is usually a nurse.
Because if you want to add a doctor, the requirements will be higher.
After all, doctors' salaries are higher, which also means that the hospital's expenditure costs will increase.
"Old Liu, you also know that it is difficult to recruit people recently. Even if we recruit them, we cannot use them right away. Nurses need to be trained for at least half a year before they can do some basic nursing work. To really be familiar with the business, they need at least three years of training.
As soon as you asked to add three medical staff, I definitely agreed, because the diagnosis and treatment business of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department is developing rapidly, and I, as the dean, have seen all the outstanding achievements.
But you also know that our hospital has more than a hundred departments, big and small.
Many departments asked me for additional staff last year, but I haven't agreed yet this year.
The TCM department is doing well and has a promising development momentum. Plus, you, Old Liu, personally gave me the green light, so I can’t refuse. I’ll add two more medical staff, a doctor and a nurse. Is that okay with you?”
Dean Tan usually looks dignified and doesn't talk much.
I didn't expect that he could speak even more tactfully than Vice President Min.
Li Quan now understood why Professor Liu asked for such a high price, and he directly applied to the hospital to add three medical staff to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Negotiation, after all, is all about asking for a sky-high price, and then slowly waiting for the other party to counter-offer.
If you only apply to the hospital to add two people at the beginning, the hospital will probably only agree to give you one quota.
Now, I can get two places at once.
And he is also a doctor and a nurse.
Night shifts can be easily arranged in the future.
At the same time, it can flexibly mobilize manpower to help share the diagnosis and treatment business of the day shift.
"Xiao Li, are two enough?" Professor Liu turned to ask Li Quan.
He winked at Li Quan.
Li Quan understood what the teacher meant.
"Well...if the current business growth continues, it will definitely not be enough. But the dean also said that the hospital is short of staff, and I can understand. It's okay if it's a little harder."
Li Quan had a heroic expression as if he was willing to devote himself to the medical profession.
Professor Liu secretly gave Li Quan a thumbs up.
This apprentice is a talented person. Not only does he have an outstanding talent in medical skills, but even when he is fighting for benefits, his facial expressions when acting are extremely vivid and accurate.
I clearly got a lot of benefits, but it felt like I was eating a bitter melon.
"Old Liu, Little Li, let's follow the old rules. You can select your own people." Dean Tan gave the two of them enough power and freedom.
This is exactly where Dean Tan’s brilliance lies.
He makes the decisions on major issues, and delegates minor matters directly to his subordinates.
The matter of increasing staff for the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine was settled in this way.
Li Quan was very happy that the result was achieved beyond his expectation. He also learned a lot of useful things.
"Dean Min, you can tell me now."
Dean Tan breathed a sigh of relief after he managed to hire the two most sought-after doctors at Huier Hospital.
This master and apprentice, one is the leading figure of Huier Hospital, and the other is the future star. Neither of them can be offended, and both must be satisfied.
Because only when they are satisfied will they work hard for the hospital.
Vice President Min cleared his throat with a serious expression.
"This morning, two hooligans pretended to be patients and went to the orthopedic department of the Chinese medicine clinic. Fortunately, Doctor Li found out that the hooligans were not sick at all, so no big deal happened. Then Doctor Li asked Director Luo Heng of the General Affairs Office to track down the people behind the two hooligans.
It was actually discovered by Director Luo Heng.
Guess who did this?"
Vice President Min actually kept the secret at this critical moment.
"Ocean Hospital?" Dean Tan asked.
"No, this time it's not Yuanyang Hospital, but Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital." Vice President Min's tone gradually turned colder.
"What? Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital usually behaves like a gentleman, but I didn't expect that this time they would do something dirty to us. Damn it, it's really damned."
Dean Tan was extremely surprised and angry at the same time.
Because Huier Hospital and Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital had no grudges in the past and recently. Sometimes, orthopedic patients who could not be treated at Huier Hospital would be referred to Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital.
I didn't expect Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital to be so shameless.
Not only did he not remember the kindness of Huier Hospital, but he also secretly committed ruthless acts.
Sure enough, there is only interest in the adult world, everything else is false and fake.
"Director, even a place as impressive as Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital is beginning to get restless. This just shows that the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department of Huier Hospital has great potential and great development. Otherwise, why would Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital be so impatient and do such a despicable thing?"
There was a gleam of wisdom in Vice President Min's eyes.
In fact, all four people present had thought of this.
"President Min's analysis makes sense. Xiao Li is a valuable talent in our hospital. The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics must continue to grow and become stronger. The hospital will also provide support for the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and provide more resources for care."
Being framed by the enemy is not necessarily a bad thing.
For example, Li Quan’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Department is now more valued by the hospital.
It is impossible not to pay attention to it, because the top orthopedic hospital in the province has directly attacked this department of Huier Hospital. If Dean Tan and others do not pay attention to it, wouldn’t they be fools?
"The dean is wise!"
Vice President Min gave a thumbs up.
Li Quan was stunned. It seemed that Vice President Min had completely turned over a new leaf.
"Thank you, Dean!"
Professor Liu and Li Quan also immediately thanked Dean Tan.
The dean has spoken loudly, saying that he would provide all kinds of care and protection to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so we should just thank him quickly.
In this way, Dean Tan had no chance to take back his words.
"Dean, are you really willing to allocate more resources to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine?" Li Quan had a bold idea.
"You kid, how important is the dean? He is the head of our hospital, equivalent to the emperor of a country, he speaks with all his heart and never jokes."
Professor Liu glared at Li Quan and scolded him.
Of course, this is just an appearance. He is actually assisting Li Quan.
"Doctor Li, if you have any needs, please let me know!" Dean Tan was praised as the ' Supreme Emperor', and he would lose face if he didn't say anything.
"Director, the number of patients visiting our TCM department is increasing day by day. Today, the number of patients has exceeded 60. Can you see if we can set up a medical technology department in our TCM department? We don't need a lot of equipment. For now, we only need a Doppler ultrasound angiography machine and an X-ray machine. These two examinations are done more frequently.
Especially X-rays, which almost every orthopedic patient needs to have, and queuing up in other medical departments takes too long, and on the other hand, it does affect the speed of diagnosis of patients in other departments.”
Li Quan seized this opportunity and boldly asked the hospital for two inspection devices.
Build the medical technology department first, which can generate a large amount of income for the traditional Chinese medicine department without having to look at other people's opinions.
This morning, a patient complained to Li Quan that he had waited for nearly two hours but was still not examined.
Li Quan sent Hu Yue'er over there to help urge them, but Hu Yue'er came back scolded instead.
Li Quan was examining a patient at the time and didn't say much.
But I already felt very unhappy in my heart.
I gave the other party money, but he didn't say a single good word and instead gave me the cold shoulder.
Patients in the TCM department are treated differently.
This forced Li Quan to set up his own medical technology department.
I don’t dare to think about large-scale inspection equipment such as MRI and CT, so I’ll just get the small equipment first.
Especially X-ray examinations, every orthopedic patient has to have one.
If there are sixty patients a day, the income can be several thousand yuan.
"This..." Dean Tan hesitated.
But he had just said it, and it was difficult for him to take it back.
The cost of purchasing Doppler ultrasound imaging equipment and X-ray inspection equipment is not too much for the hospital. At least it is completely affordable.
However, two medical technicians are needed, which is another expense.
In addition, two more rooms have to be vacated, and there are also costs for the site.
"Xiao Li, I think the TCM department only has these two types of testing equipment, which is too simple. The dean just opened the door, so you can boldly ask for more."
Professor Liu started to assist again.
Dean Tan, who was originally struggling with his conscience and hesitating whether to agree, started to twitch his eyelids and his face changed drastically when he heard Professor Liu's words.
It’s better to agree to it quickly.
Otherwise, God knows what kind of requests Professor Liu and Li Quan will make.
"Okay, okay, I agree." Dean Tan quickly nodded in agreement.
Li Quan almost burst out laughing, but he forced himself to hold it back.
The teacher still has a solution.
It’s true, as long as your thinking doesn’t slip, there are always more solutions than problems.
The teacher's words scared Dean Tan into compromising.
"Director, I see that the TCM department is in a hurry to use these equipments. I wonder how long it will take to arrange them? If it takes too long, I think we can just move two sets of equipments and people from those unskilled departments to the TCM department."
When Professor Liu saw that the dean agreed, he did not give up.
Take advantage of the situation and set a deadline.
He is well aware of the leader's tactic of procrastination.
If you don't force your boss to give you a deadline, even if he agrees to give you a deadline, a month is considered very timely. A year is considered good. It is not uncommon for three to five years to be completed.
If it really doesn't work, then just drag it on indefinitely.
Li Quan stood by and secretly pondered the essence of it and learned from it.
He felt that he had gained a lot.
You can put what you have learned into practice when negotiating and dealing with others in the future.
"You can't move it to another department. The directors of those departments will come to me and turn the tables. Let's put it this way. I'll arrange it for you in a week. It takes time to purchase, empty the examination room, and staff it."
Dean Tan gave a pretty good deadline.
One week, absolutely full of sincerity.
When a hospital purchases equipment, it is not just a matter of saying something; it requires certain approvals.
In addition, the recruitment and deployment of medical and technical personnel also takes time.
As for moving the inspection equipment from other departments, Dean Tan really doesn't dare to do such a thing that would offend people to death.
After all, the dean is not the emperor.
If the emperor went to someone else's house and took possession of his ministers' wives and daughters, he would be criticized behind his back and reported by the ministers of remonstration.
Transferring the inspection equipment and personnel from other departments to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department is equivalent to stealing the wives of other departments. Even the department with the worst business will run to the dean's office and make a scene.
Because if you are really pushed to that point, it would be no different from persuading everyone in that department to resign.
"Okay, then we'll thank the dean for his care first."
Professor Liu was very satisfied with the result.
Li Quan would be even more satisfied.
Fortunately, he came with his teacher today, otherwise, as a rookie, he would not be a match for Dean Tan.
Originally I just wanted to add one more person to work on the night shift, but I never expected that so many things would be done at once.
The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics suddenly had four more staff members, and more importantly, it finally had its own medical technology department.
No need to be controlled by others anymore.
The department's revenue will also be significantly improved.
"Dean, are we just going to let it go of the Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital's attack on us?" Vice Dean Min is a very measured person and never speaks when he shouldn't.
Of course, when he was an enemy of Li Quan, he was the number one opposing minister.
He strongly opposed whatever Li Quan wanted to do.
Now, he and Li Quan have resolved their grievances, and they may not be considered friends, but he does not interfere when Li Quan strives for his own interests.
If he tried his best to stop it today, it would be difficult for Li Quan's TCM department to increase staff and equipment. At least it would be greatly reduced.
Li Quan finally understood his teacher's good intentions in advising him not to make enemies.
Because the hospital is a big family, no one person has the final say.
Many times we need to leverage our power.
"Doctor Li, what do you mean?"
Dean Tan did not answer Vice Dean Min immediately, but instead asked Li Quan for his opinion.
In addition to giving Li Quan enough face, it was probably also intended to test Li Quan's ability to handle affairs, strategy, and wisdom.
"I..." Li Quan wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
"Don't worry, but you can say it!"
Dean Tan looked at him gently and encouragingly.
Professor Liu also nodded slightly to Li Quan.
"Then I will show you my ugliness. If my plan is not well thought out, please correct me, teacher and the two deans."
Li Quan also knew that Dean Tan was considering him intentionally.
If he passes this exam, he will be given more power in the future and the burden on his shoulders will also increase.
If he fails to meet the standards, there will be people who will continue to check things in the TCM department for him to avoid any accidents.
"Now that the matter has been traced, there is no turning back. If the sword is already drawn and then withdrawn, the other party will not appreciate it, but will think that he is afraid of him. I think it is a good idea to be aggressive when necessary, impose a light punishment, and then make further plans based on the other party's reaction. "
Li Quan spoke freely and expressed his opinions.
