Chapter 444: Symbiotic Style Expansion
Gao Shaojie and w.a.n.g Qiang left Sea City General Hospital’s emergency ward. After moving around for a while, Gao Shaojie finally felt that his aging waist was better.
As soon as they exited the building, the cold air blew the white snowflakes at them, a somewhat refres.h.i.+ng sensation.
Gao Shaojie was not in a hurry to get in the car. He took out his phone and searched for a number. After hesitating for a few seconds, he dialed it.
“h.e.l.lo, may I know if you’re Manager Feng from China Changfeng Microinvasive Surgery?” Gao Shaojie’s tone was very polite but still reserved and proud, showing his pride as chief.
“Yes, I’m Gao Shaojie.”
“Prepare ten sets of equipment for TIPS, as well as for interventional and radiofrequency surgeries. Well, it seems like I might be in Sea City for a little while longer.”
“That’s fine too. Go to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University’s Interventional Department and look for Li Jianguo. Tell him what I need.”
“Okay. When do you want all of this? I’ll contact Lin Cai for you.”
“Goodbye.”
The few minutes of conversation gave w.a.n.g Qiang endless shock.
Technological equipment was considered a relatively taboo topic in the medical field. A chief surgeon’s income was largely dependent on this.
Why did he work so hard to perform surgery?
To treat patients and save people? These were some of the factors. Everyone had their own ambitions, and treating patients and saving people were some of them.
However, it was usually more than that.
The economic factor of being a surgeon played a large part in it.
Equipment suppliers paid special attention to maintaining a relations.h.i.+p with every capable surgeon.
This kind of maintenance was done despite the costs.
For example, a few years ago, the leader of the Second Academy led his subordinates on a 10-day European tour. This was provided for financially by an equipment supplier.
Teacher Gao usually used Medtronic products.
The quality of the products was impeccable. The efficient salesperson running the Medtronic’s store practically treated Gao Shaojie like he was his G.o.dfather.
In fact, w.a.n.g Qiang had always thought that Gao Shaojie and the salesperson had some kind of history together. So when he heard Gao Shaojie actually contact manager Feng of China Changfeng Microinvasive Surgery, he was even more shocked.
This was equivalent to…
Forget it. Whatever it was, it had nothing to do with him.
However, did Teacher Gao really have to pay such a huge price? He even had Teacher Gao go to the courtyard to brush his face and go on a shopping trip.
Such a shopping trip was not something that one could do just like that. If he did not have a thick, brown paper envelope… No, a suitcase, which Chief would be willing to do such a thing?
Putting down the phone, Gao Shaojie breathed in a few mouthfuls of cold air, allowing the snowflakes to fly into his mouth and melt into water.
“Teacher Gao, are you preparing to change suppliers?” w.a.n.g Qiang did not understand many things, but he still had to ask this question.
Gao Shaojie had to be able to handle changing suppliers. Otherwise, if he invited Teacher Gao to perform the surgery, the equipment used would be different than those in the Provincial Capital. It would bring Teacher Gao a poorer surgical experience.
w.a.n.g Qiang was still thinking about long-term cooperation. He would talk about things that affected one even ten years down the road.
“Let’s take a look for now.” Gao Shaojie smiled slightly and said, “When Chief Zheng goes to the Provincial Capital, he’ll need the appropriate equipment. Today’s studying has been quite strenuous. Let’s find a place to have a meal and go back to sleep.”
w.a.n.g Qiang looked at the sky full of snow and nodded.
The car left, leaving two rows of distorted car tracks in the snow.
…
Feng Xuhui was already nearby Sea City General Hospital as he held his phone and laughed foolishly.
He had just come back from the Secondary Hospital.
He went to the Secondary Hospital to help supply the needed equipment. Besides that, it was also to see Zheng Ren’s post-operative condition.
This was all important information
After he returned from the Capital, Feng Xuhui moved his company’s office there.
The residential buildings were definitely nothing compared to the grandeur of the city.
However, what was the use of having grandeur?
Feng Xuhui would rather arrive ten to eight minutes early after receiving a call from Zheng Ren than sit in the s.p.a.cious and bright city office while acting pretentious.
In the Capital, the immortal pointed the way and told him the direction of his future.
After that, he just had to keep going.
Feng Xuhui was not very smart but was extremely determined and persistent. He did the dumbest and most direct things at times.
His daily task was to sort out the words that Zheng Ren said to him and figure out what they meant.
No matter what Zheng Ren needed, he was always prepared beforehand.
The company’s support for him was also very strong. With just a phone call, everything that should be paid for was settled. The application form and the corresponding tickets could be submitted later.
Zheng Ren had not disappointed Feng Xuhui’s expectations.
After returning from the Capital, Zheng Ren had actually carried out the TIPS surgery!
And it was not a one-time thing either. Instead, his talents spread out like wild weeds in a forest. He had even went to the Secondary Hospital to conduct a ‘freelance surgery’.
In half a month, he completed more than a dozen TIPS surgeries in one go.
This kind of astounding growth speed had made its impression upon Feng Xuhui.
It also strengthened his “strategic” plan of latching onto Zheng Ren as a cash cow.
While he was busy acc.u.mulating all kinds of data, tables, and communicating with the company’s big data a.n.a.lyst, Feng Xuhui received a call from Gao Shaojie.
After the call, Gao Shaojie hung up.
A wave of excitement rose from the bottom of Feng Xuhui’s heart.
As expected, the immortal’s guidance was not for nothing.
Not only did Chief Zheng use Changfeng’s slightly damaged equipment in Sea City General Hospital, but he also helped Changfeng open up a branch within the Imperial Capital.
The surprises were endless.
It had been less than a month since he had returned from the Imperial Capital and now, the Provincial Capital’s Medical University Hospital wanted to supply them equipment.
The Medical University Hospital was the top hospital within the entire Provincial Capital! The quant.i.ty of goods sold from them was incomparable to what could be gotten at the small Sea City.
Feng Xuhui walked around the small rented house in excitement before gradually calming himself down.
He pondered for a few minutes and wrote down all the things he needed to report on paper. After that, he gave it a bit of thought before picking up the phone and calling Chairman Ma.
“h.e.l.lo, Chairman Ma, I’m Feng Xuhui.”
“I have a few things to report to you. First, Chief Zheng’s surgery went smoothly. The TIPS surgery has already reached the top international standard.”
“Uh… I can say this without a doubt that Chief Zheng has performed 18 TIPS surgeries and all of them were successful. Moreover, the patients’ recovery post-op seemed smooth sailing. The records are all with me.”
Feng Xuhui continued, “Secondly, the Secondary Hospital has agreed to purchase our factory’s equipment. Also, I just received a call from the Interventional Department’s Chief of the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University. I need ten sets of various surgical equipment. However, I need Chief Zheng to perform the surgery before plans can commence.”
“Besides that, I want to request that the company provide me with an a.s.sistant so that I can better carry out my work.”
The report was kept simple and concise.
The other side of the phone went silent.
It was obvious that Chairman Ma had not expected his business to expand so quickly.
It was simply too fast, to the point that he could not seem to process its growth.
Although the market in Sea City could not be compared to the Capital, because Zheng Ren was there, Chairman Ma attached great importance to the city.
Looking at it now, however, its current degree of importance…did not seem to be enough.
Feng Xuhui was still young and lacked the actual work experience. Chairman Ma wanted to give him the staff he needed but was unsure how well he would do.
He absolutely could not comprehend Feng Xuhui’s current position. He could only see him as someone who had just graduated and immediately entered the workforce.
