Chapter 623 How many people can you save in one day? Chinese herbal medicine decoction
"I……"
Just as Zhou Can opened his mouth to decline, Dean Zhu waved his hand to suppress him.
"It's not too late to listen to me first before making a decision. I know you only want to study medicine and save lives."
President Zhu has been in charge of Tuya Hospital for many years. He holds a high position, stands firm and steady as a mountain.
Nature has his extraordinary abilities and charm.
I don't have much contact with him, so I don't think there is anything wrong.
When I really talked to Dean Zhu about the matter, I realized why he was able to abide by the rules in the hospital.
That kind of powerful aura and just a glance are enough to make people unable to resist.
Zhou Can's net worth has long exceeded 100 million yuan, and he has been training as a department leader and a mid-level cadre in the hospital for more than a year. He thinks his aura is not weak. But when facing Dean Zhu, he can still feel that damn oppressive feeling.
"Even if you work hard to perform surgeries, how many can you do in a day? Take the level 3 surgeries that you do most now as an example. Five level 3 surgeries a day is enough, right? Then after work, you go to the cardiothoracic surgery department to do two more level 4 major surgeries, a total of seven. Even if the quality of your surgeries is very high and the success rate exceeds 95%, you can only save seven people a day at most. This does not include the joint efforts and contributions of other medical staff before and after the operation, and during the entire perioperative period."
Dean Zhu knows Zhou Can's background very well.
He even knew how many level-three surgeries he performed in a day and how many level-four surgeries he performed overtime in the cardiothoracic surgery department.
The four words "all-seeing" are suitable for every wise leader.
If he had not talked with Dean Zhu today, Zhou Can would have always thought that Dean Zhu was high and mighty and would not have the time and energy to care about a small person like him.
Now it seems that this was totally wrong.
His every move is being watched under people's eyes.
Complete seven level three and four operations in one day. This ability is considered to be top-notch not only in Tuya Hospital but also in the whole country.
Most chief physicians perform two level three or four operations a day and are exhausted.
Compared with Zhou Can, the difference is several times.
"In history, Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period was definitely a capable man who took care of everything himself, but what happened in the end? He worked himself to death but still failed to complete the unification of Shu. Many people say that it was because the later emperor Liu Chan was incompetent and a hopeless case. I have read official history and relatively reliable unofficial history, and they all say that Liu Chan was a wise monarch, and his ability was no worse than Liu Bei's."
In order to convince Zhou Can, President Zhu even cited historical figures as evidence.
There is no one else like him.
There has always been controversy about the last emperor Liu Chan.
Influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, most people in later generations believed that Liu Chan had a broken head and was a hopeless person.
In fact, it is not true. After Liu Bei's death, he was able to make people like Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei and Wei Yan willingly follow his orders and not dare to rebel. If they did not have some abilities, they would have been killed by these people.
At least he would be able to use the emperor to control the princes, just like Cao Cao did when he held Emperor Xian of Han hostage.
Also, after the Sima family took control of Wei, they achieved unification.
During the unification process, the army pressed on Shu.
The Kingdom of Shu had numerous natural fortifications, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack; one man could guard the pass against ten thousand.
If the last emperor Liu Chan wanted to resist to the end, it would be extremely difficult for Wei to unify. At least he would have to pay a heavy price and lose a large number of soldiers.
Liu Chan rejected all objections and led his people to surrender in order to prevent the people of Shu from being massacred.
If many people died when Wei attacked Shu, massacring the city to vent anger would be the least of the problems.
Liu Chan surrendered voluntarily and bore the infamy for thousands of years, but in fact he saved countless people and soldiers of Shu.
Of course, there are always two sides to everything. Most people call him a hopeless person, a synonym for cowardice and incompetence, and there is some truth to that.
Dean Zhu did not compare Liu Chan with Zhou Can, but compared him with Zhuge Liang.
The meaning is to tell Zhou Can that even if he works hard to perform surgery and treat patients every day, he won't be able to save many even if he dies of exhaustion.
"Let's talk about the pharmaceutical department of our Tuya Hospital."
The groundwork has been laid, so Dean Zhu gets straight to the point.
"You must know the predecessor of the Pharmaceutical Department. It was first an official pharmacy during the Ming and Qing dynasties and the largest pharmacy in the province. Later, it became a private pharmacy, and many pharmaceutical traditions have been passed down from generation to generation. The research on various Chinese medicinal materials has never been interrupted even in times of war. When plagues were rampant and wars spread across our country, it played an important role in saving lives and healing the wounded."
Inheritance is extremely important.
It is a symbol of historical heritage.
"Traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine have been weakening over the years, and have even nearly died out. Even today, traditional Chinese medicine still has a bad reputation."
When encountering an untreatable disease or a difficult patient, doctors will often recommend that the patient try Chinese medicine.
In the minds of most doctors, traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine treatment are equal to two words: haha.
It's just that few people dare to say such things.
After all, no doctor wants to be accused of being unpatriotic and pro-Western.
"It has been preserved from that war-torn era until now. It has many complete Chinese prescriptions and a lot of in-depth clinical verification of Chinese medicine research. It has even done in-depth research on the preparation of medicinal materials, when is the best time to collect them, how to preserve and prepare them, and which medicinal materials will produce serious toxic effects when combined with them. Not to mention that the pharmaceutical department of our Tuya Hospital is one of the best among Chinese medicine companies in the country, but it is at least ranked among the best."
"Our ancestors, generation after generation, paid countless costs, even their precious lives, to preserve these precious Chinese medicines. There is no reason for our generation to let them be lost."
Dean Zhu looked at him with extremely sincere eyes.
"Since I took over Tuya Hospital, the previous director has told me to protect the pharmaceutical department and develop it. If it is well developed, it may become an important foundation of traditional Chinese medicine in the future. And every generation of directors of Tuya Hospital has passed down this mission from generation to generation."
Hearing this, Zhou Can felt that this burden was heavier than a mountain.
So many predecessors, so many deans, and countless Chinese medicine practitioners have passed down this career and worked hard to carry it forward.
Whoever takes over will be under tremendous pressure.
If you mess up, you will be a sinner in history. You will be despised by the world and scolded for thousands of years just like Qin Hui.
"Xiao Zhou, I chose to entrust this important task to you not on a whim, nor was it a temporary decision because I couldn't find a suitable candidate. I have had in-depth discussions with many hospital leaders and consulted with senior leaders. The support rate for you is over 85%. That's why I decided to entrust this important task to you. As an old man who is about to retire, I sincerely ask you to take on this important task."
What is the status of President Zhu?
Not to mention that he has not retired yet, even if he retires in the future, he will still have a huge influence in Tuya Hospital.
This extremely noble super boss humbled himself and asked Zhou Can to be his junior.
Zhou Can was really moved.
"I……"
Zhou Can still wanted to refuse, but he was obviously softening.
"As long as you take on this responsibility, the hospital and even the senior leaders of the superior department will give you the green light. The price you pay to acquire the pharmaceutical department is only about 45% of the purchase price by outsiders, and the estimated value is about 271 million. You only need to pay about 120 million to acquire it. All the talents, technologies, and heritage will be handed over to you. However, some clauses to protect the heritage will be added to the contract."
"For example, they cannot be sold to foreign countries, and the many precious heritages, technologies, and knowledge contained therein must be protected."
In order to get Zhou Can to take on this responsibility, the hospital offered a jaw-droppingly favorable price.
You know, this is a public hospital.
The packaged sale of the pharmaceutical division will certainly face a lot of scrutiny and resistance.
If the leaders had not unanimously supported Zhou Can and believed in his character, this matter would never have been possible.
"I can indeed come up with around 120 million yuan, but I have no experience in company management, and I don't have that much time and energy to do this. I'm really afraid of becoming a historical sinner."
Zhou Can doesn't care much about money.
His current net worth is far more than 100 million.
Even if he loses all 120 million, he can still bear it.
Li Lao had originally wanted to help him set up Jinyu Interactive Company with the intention of helping him get rich together. However, at that time, he also needed Zhou Can's help. It would definitely be much better if the start-up capital was shared by both of them.
Su Qianqian is Zhou Can's girlfriend. If she does not get Zhou Can to join , there is an important clause in the contract signed by Su Qianqian: if she is not satisfied, she can terminate the contract unconditionally at any time.
If Su Qianqian is trained and then jumps ship and runs away, it will be almost impossible for Jinyu Interactive to quickly stand out among the many entertainment companies.
The cooperation between Li Lao and Zhou Can is based on both brotherly friendship and mutual interests.
Even now, Su Qianqian still plays an important role in Jinyu Interactive.
It’s no joke that a big star can support an entire entertainment company.
Today, Jinyu Interactive has developed to a very powerful level.
The dividend income brought to Zhou Can every year is beyond imagination.
Because he could never spend all the money he earned in his lifetime, he didn't care much about money.
He himself never pursued a life of extravagance and decadence.
"You can hire professional managers to manage the company. All you need to do is act as the commander-in-chief behind the scenes. You will have a firm grasp on the general development policy and the company's business philosophy. If a professional manager is unqualified, he can be replaced at any time."
I hope the dean has thought of all of this for him.
"Let's talk about the difficulties and reasons why we are eager to pack up the pharmaceutical department."
Dean Zhu saw that the time was almost right and decided to keep working on it.
From Zhou Can's expression, one can see obvious relaxation, and even initial approval.
"First of all, it's a mechanism problem. Our Tuya is a public hospital, and many of the management and operations of the pharmaceutical department are somewhat border-oriented. This is very detrimental to the development of the pharmaceutical department. Market rules are the best competition mechanism. The pharmaceutical department loses a lot of money every year, which is a heavy burden in itself. When I was in charge of Tuya Hospital, I was able to barely suppress the voices of opposition and ensure that the pharmaceutical department had sufficient funds and could operate stably and normally."
"The next successor has a strong background, but his stance is difficult to understand. When he takes over, he may simply disband the pharmaceutical department or restructure it and promote Western medicine, which is something we don't want to see. And it is very likely to happen."
"Selling the pharmaceutical division as a package can not only be an achievement before my retirement, but also avoid potential huge risks."
Dean Zhu’s concerns are definitely not groundless.
As he is leaving office soon, he will naturally have some idea about the next person to take over as the director of Tuya Hospital.
He also told Zhou Can without hesitation that selling off the pharmaceutical department was one of his achievements before his retirement.
Because the pharmaceutical department has suffered serious losses for years, it has become a heavy burden on Tuya Hospital and its finances.
"Also, after the pharmaceutical department is sold to you, it will no longer be subject to certain regulations. You can flexibly adjust its internal structure and reward and punishment mechanism. And it can be commercialized quickly. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope to bring those Chinese herbal medicines that have been sealed for thousands of years to the market and gain market recognition. By then, as long as a virtuous cycle is formed, Chinese herbal decoctions will have the opportunity to flourish and lead the trend of the domestic Chinese medicine market."
"I have visited foreign countries, such as Japan, which is closest to us. They have already made Chinese herbal decoctions very well. They have even started to grow herbs, collect and process them, mix them into decoctions, and sell them like beverages. When ordinary people need them, they can just buy the corresponding finished Chinese herbal decoctions and drink them."
This is indeed a major direction for the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
It's just a bit sad that foreign competition is developing better than ours, the origin of traditional Chinese medicine.
The most successful product in China is probably herbal tea.
After listening to this, Zhou Can began to ponder.
Dean Zhu did not disturb him, but waited patiently.
"Can I give you an answer in two days?"
Zhou Can decided to ask Li Lao for advice first and then reply to Dean Zhu.
"Of course. No one can force you on this matter, and no one will use moral blackmail on you. But I still hope that you will shoulder this heavy responsibility." Dean Zhu picked up the tea and took two sips.
This is called serving tea to guests.
It means that the conversation is almost over and the guest should leave.
"Okay, thank you and all the leaders for your trust and care for me. I will definitely consider it carefully. If there is nothing else, I will not bother you anymore."
Zhou Can stood up and said goodbye.
In a rare move, Dean Zhu stood up and walked him to the door.
This is a recognition of Zhou Can's strength.
Not everyone can be worth over 100 million.
Now that Zhou Can's financial strength has been made clear, even if he is still just a deputy director of the emergency department, he deserves enough respect from President Zhu.
After coming out of the dean's office, Zhou Can did not forget the patient.
After checking the inpatient ward of the emergency department, I had an in-depth conversation with the parents of the child with high paraplegia and explained the treatment plan in detail.
The family trusted him very much, and after a brief phone conversation with the child's grandparents, they readily agreed.
Next is clinical anti-tuberculosis treatment.
This will take a relatively long time, possibly as little as one or two months, or as long as more than half a year .
After finishing his work at the hospital, Zhou Can still had important things to do.
That is to ask Li Lao for advice on taking over the pharmaceutical department.
I have been very busy recently and I haven't been to Li Lao's house for a while. Zhou Can plans to take Su Qianqian with him to visit Li Lao's house.
