Chapter 373 Welfare and a Wake-up Call
Currently.

After two months of recruiting patients, the number of foreign patients in Guang'anmen Hospital has skyrocketed and has reached more than one hundred.

And most people have the same condition.

At the same time, the diseases they suffered from were also those that Wang Mengde had treated many times.

Although no one else in the world can treat it, for Wang Mengde, it is a sure thing.

Therefore, it can be said that it is not difficult to treat.

Even if it is a new colleague who comes to help, after learning from him for a period of time, he can surely cure most diseases.

The scenario of treating patients on an assembly line that he envisions will be realized soon.

The medical fees will naturally rise as well.

When the number of patients did not surge, we could earn about three to four million US dollars in foreign exchange each month on a good day.

Even without big clients, under normal circumstances, the amount is at least two to three million US dollars.

The number of patients has now nearly doubled, and the revenue generated has also increased significantly.

Last month it reached over 7 million US dollars, and that was just the first month.

When the amount of medical fees for this month comes out, it will definitely be much more than last month's number.

By the beginning of next spring, when the other three ward buildings are completed and put into use, they will be able to accommodate more foreign patients.

With the support of other doctors in the unit, he will have to put in less energy next year but earn more foreign exchange.

According to his own estimate, if nothing unexpected happens, he should have no problem earning tens of millions of dollars a month.

Even when he develops solutions to more terminal illnesses, perhaps tens of millions are just the beginning.

Moreover, next year he plans to categorize each patient's medical fees according to the severity of their illness.

If the condition is serious, rare and very difficult to treat, the fees will be higher. For diseases like leukemia that have fixed procedures and methods, the fees will be relatively lower.

Of course, each patient must receive at least $50,000 in guaranteed benefits. This is the bottom line and cannot be easily changed.

Therefore, he had the confidence to say that he would guarantee to complete the task.

Dean Lu was very satisfied with Wang Mengde's statement. He did not expect that such a pleasant surprise would happen in the past two months.

If Guang'anmen Hospital can really earn hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange income each year, it will benefit the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Guang'anmen Hospital, and everyone present here.

Just like in his plan, he wanted to expand the research institute and hospital.

Although he was certain that this matter would be approved by his superiors, if there was foreign exchange income, the process would be faster and the support would be stronger.

He has made all the plans. He had previously thought of building another branch of a similar size to the current one, but now he has changed his mind and plans to build it as large as possible.

Based on the current speed of development, it would be no problem for the branch to be three or five times larger than it is now.

Thanks to the colleges of traditional Chinese medicine built all over the country, a large number of graduates flow into various hospitals every year.

As the most powerful institution of traditional Chinese medicine in the country, the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine will naturally accept many graduates to come for internships.

These interns are talented and study hard, and basically all of them stayed in the program.

In this way, the number of doctors in the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guang'anmen Hospital is increasing. If the growth continues at this rate, the old hospital area will no longer be able to accommodate them in a few years.

After the meeting.

Wang Mengde accompanied President Lu out.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, our superiors will send us some information on foreign patients tomorrow.

These are the basic information of patients who have recently applied to come to China for treatment. You need to take a look and screen them.

I heard from my superiors that we received a lot of applications this month, and others are not sure whether you are confident about the conditions of those foreign patients.

Therefore, you can only screen out a part of it by yourself, but it will take some time to finish it. What do you think, can you finish it?
If it really doesn't work, we can just screen some of them. Anyway, we only have so many wards and not enough staff. We won't be able to accommodate too many people if they come."

"Dean, I will only look at as much of those patients' information as I can."

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

Those are foreign patients. If he hadn't paid a lot of money, he wouldn't care about their life or death.

In addition, those who can come to China for treatment usually have good family conditions, and they will not owe any medical fees to anyone after curing their illness.

After all, the medical fee is at least 50,000 US dollars, and the round-trip fare and food, drink, and toilet expenses require at least 60,000 or 70,000 US dollars. People without money simply cannot come here.

If there is too much information at that time, he plans to just pass half of it.

The remaining half will be carefully screened.

As for whose information he can see, that's up to fate.

"Yes, that's right. We can't just drain the pond to catch fish. We just need to do our best. You have to take care of yourself. If you need anything, be sure to tell me as soon as possible.

By the way, you can feel free to use the people selected from various departments. If anyone disobeys orders, tell me directly and I will deal with it personally.

Also, if there is still a shortage of manpower, many comrades from various departments are willing to step up."

Dean Lu instructed with a smile.

“Dean, I understand that we need manpower and supplies, and I will definitely report to you in a timely manner.

Now the comrades in each department are very active, working and studying very seriously, and will be a great help in the future. "

Wang Mengde said seriously.

Ever since he applied to President Lu to allow colleagues from other departments of the research institute and hospital to participate in the project of treating foreign patients.

Whether it was the heads of various departments or the more than a dozen vice presidents, they all became more enthusiastic towards him.

To be able to participate in this project, you just need to work hard.

Not only can you learn medical skills, but you can also add a strong touch to your resume.

No matter when, it can bring great benefits and help to this person.

Of course, the interests of Wang Mengde and his fellow junior brothers and sisters will not be affected much.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and when they were about to separate, Dean Lu asked:
"Comrade Wang Mengde, have you made any new progress in your recent research on the treatment of anthrax, a complication of diabetes?"

It has been two or three months since Mike and his team came here.

Dean Lu is still thinking about the promise made by those people. As long as the anthrax problem can be solved and the patients are not forced to stop receiving treatment, they are willing to pay one million dollars for each patient.

And there are at least ten patients coming for treatment together, which adds up to more than tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange income.

To be honest, he was very excited at that time.

Even though so much time has passed, I still get excited every time I think about it.

If Comrade Wang Mengde could work out a solution to this problem, he could easily get 10 million.

What's more, this is not a one-time deal. There are still a large number of people suffering from this disease in the world.

As long as one in ten thousand patients is willing to spend money for treatment, that would be another huge income.

He has thought it all out, and the consultation fee must be set higher when the time comes.

“Dean, I have studied several prescriptions during this period, but unfortunately the effects are not very good.

This disease is too difficult to cure. It will take time to cure it. I was busy a few days ago and didn't have time to think about it. I will think about it carefully when I have some free time in a few days. "

Wang Mengde shook his head.

These days, Master He's nephew, as well as several other patients, have been receiving treatment from him.

But after trying several different prescriptions, none of them worked.

Fortunately, it did not cause any adverse reactions.

He planned to free up his hands in a few days and, with the help of the space, check the ideas of later generations, and look through ancient books to find the wisdom of their predecessors.

See if we can combine the two and find a breakthrough.

“Well, many scientific research institutions around the world are studying solutions to this disease, but I haven’t heard of any progress.

The same is true for many of our predecessors in traditional Chinese medicine. Over hundreds of years, there has been no good solution.

So, don't be anxious, just study at your own pace. If you feel you have no clue, you can take a break for a while, and maybe you will get some ideas. "

Dean Lu comforted softly.

He is also a famous Chinese medicine expert. Before becoming the dean, he had studied a lot of things and knew the difficulty involved.

The weather is getting colder day by day.

It was early November, just two days after the beginning of winter.

It's the annual 'winter storage' time again.

Unlike previous years, this year all employees of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guang'anmen Hospital did not take leave to queue up at the vegetable stores to buy cabbage, radishes, onions, etc.

It’s not that they are not anxious, but a few days ago, the logistics department and the trade union jointly issued a notice and counted the population of each household.

In order to allow employees to work with peace of mind without delaying the storage of vegetables for the winter, the unit has contacted the relevant departments.

When it comes to winter storage, vegetables such as cabbage, radish, and onion will be delivered directly to the staff building.

Even if you don't live in the staff building, you can arrange in advance to have the vegetables delivered to the company's gate, and then find a flatbed truck to transport them home when you get off work.

"Brother, this year the company was so thoughtful. Not only did they deliver the vegetables they had stored for the winter directly to the downstairs of the staff building, but the quality of the vegetables was also excellent.

My family bought more than 300 kilograms of cabbage. The heart of each cabbage was very firm and all were of first-class quality.

The radishes and green onions are also very fresh, and the radishes are almost hollow.”

Li Xiang followed Wang Mengde, walking towards the ward while chatting about recent events.

If we talk about the major event that happened in the unit recently, it would naturally be the logistics department buying vegetables for all employees to store for the winter.

In this era, during the more than four months of winter, the vegetables that every household eats every day depend entirely on the cabbage and radishes stored in these few days.

This is a top priority.

In the past, every employee would take turns to take leave and go home, and then line up at their respective vegetable stores to buy cabbage.

If you go too late and fail to buy the cheap vegetables subsidized by the government, you will only be able to buy expensive vegetables at the back that cost only one or two cents per pound.

And you may not be able to buy it.

Now, with unified purchasing by the company, they can save themselves a lot of trouble.

Not only were the cabbages, radishes, etc. that we bought very fresh and of good quality, but each family also gave us an extra thirty to fifty kilograms.

"We live in a building, but we don't have a cellar for storage. You have to dry your cabbage well."

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

The logistics department's purchase of winter vegetables for all employees this year was naturally his doing.

Through his connections, he found the relevant leaders of the 'Winter Storage Command'. After he made his request, those leaders studied it and agreed.

He didn't have to worry about the rest of the purchasing, transportation and distribution, as his subordinates and the union members would be busy with it.

"Hey, Brother, don't worry about this. I may not be able to do other things well, but if I can't do these winter storage dishes well, it will be unacceptable.

By the way, everyone in the company is very grateful to you now. They say that since you took charge of logistics, the welfare of the employees has improved significantly."

Li Xiang said with a smile.

night.

Return to my home in the staff building.

When Ran Xiaomei saw him coming back, she quickly stood up and prepared to serve the food.

Although the staff building is very close to his unit, he is the last one to come back because he often works overtime during this period.

The dinner table.

Ran Xiaomei had a smile on her face. While picking up food for the children, she said:
"Meng De, the cabbages purchased by your company are the best. They are big and firm.

Unlike what we bought at the Nanluoguxiang vegetable store, only 20% are first-class quality, and the rest are second-class and the worst.

There are also fresh green onions. When the weather gets a little colder, just bury them in the soil and cover them with something. Even if the leaves turn yellow, water them when the weather warms up, and they will turn green again after a while."

Because their family had split up before, they had two food books at home.

The person with Wang Mengde as the head of the household's food allowance can get cabbage from the workplace, while the person with Wang Hao as the head of the household's food allowance can only buy cabbage in Nanluoguxiang.

Of course, the number is actually not much different from before the division. The quantity is determined based on the number of people and will not be doubled.

"Water it a little, and it will turn green again after a while..."

Wang Mengde held the bowl of rice in his hand and muttered these words softly.

Originally, when Ran Xiaomei suggested storing vegetables for the winter, he didn't take it too seriously. Anyway, there would be no shortage of vegetables at home in the next two years.

Among those foreign patients, some have wealthy families and, in order to enjoy their own food, they continuously airlift fresh vegetables from their respective countries.

Out of gratitude, or perhaps to please him, as long as the goods arrived, they would take the initiative to share some with him.

Last year, when spring came, there was still a small amount of cabbage left from their winter storage, and some of it was given away to neighbors.

Later, when he heard the words 'water it, and it will turn green again after a while', his mind exploded like thunder, with countless wonderful ideas surging in his mind.

He Shengnan was the first to notice his abnormal condition and quickly told the children to be quiet.

She had encountered this kind of situation before and knew that her husband had realized the truth.

Wang Hao and Ran Xiaomei also understood the situation, so they stopped what they were doing and silently watched their son muttering to himself.

After about five minutes, Yaya became a little restless and Wang Mengde finally came to his senses.

I saw that his eyes were bright, he was in very good spirits, and he had an unstoppable smile on his face.

"Meng De, you are..."

Wang Hao couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, Dad, I have some new ideas. I'll tell you after I verify them."

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

He is getting a little impatient now.
