Chapter 1611: Peacemaking

At nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, Dean Li Yao brought Vice Dean Qu Chang to the Youyou Hotel.

Several people met President Lu Yuntao of Union Medical College Hospital and President Xiao Rui of West China Hospital in the hotel tea room.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, they sat down again.

Li Yao pretended to be joking and asked: "The Dean's Forum will be held on the 7th. You guys came here quietly today. What is your intention?"

Lu Yuntao chuckled and said: "It's very lively here, let's come over in advance to see the excitement, can't we?"

Li Yao laughed and said, "Okay, that's great!"

"We are just taking advantage of Dr. Yu Zhiming's wedding to facilitate some medical exchanges and discussions. There is nothing hidden. You can see it as you like."

Xiao Rui sighed: "Is such a gathering of famous doctors just casually facilitated? It is difficult for a national academic event convened by the national competent authorities to have such a scene, right?"

"The appeal of Huashan Hospital is not what it used to be. It is said to be the leader among hospitals in the country. No one should doubt it."

Li Yao said with a smile: "We at Huashan don't dare to be the boss of hospitals across the country. Both of you know that it's not our Huashan that has the greatest appeal, but Dr. Yu Zhiming's appeal."

"Dr. Yu Zhiming!"

Lu Yuntao repeated it, and said with envy and hatred in his voice: "It would be great if he was discovered by Union Hospital."

"Taking a step back, if he had successfully become a graduate student at Peking University School of Medicine, he would have definitely stayed in the capital."

Speaking of Peking University Medical School, Lu Yuntao chuckled again: "Every time Peking University Medical School is mentioned now, it is said that they not only missed a medical genius, but also missed the biggest opportunity to develop Peking University Medical School into a first-class medical school. ”

Li Yao chuckled and said, "So, opportunities are rare. Dr. Yu's coming to our Huashan is like a huge pie falling on our heads. You should stop making random decisions."

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and said, "Dean Lu and Dean Xiao are both very busy people. They certainly didn't come to our place early just to watch the fun."

"If you have any questions, please tell me."

He continued: "We have been a little too busy these days, and I believe you know that."

Lu Yuntao did not answer directly, but slowly picked up the teacup, took a slow sip, and then gently put the teacup down.

"President Li, the country has relaxed the restrictions on foreign investment in my country's medical industry. It is conceivable that in the near future, various types of medical institutions wholly owned or acquired by foreign investors will bloom all over our country."

Qu Chang said: "No matter how foreign-funded hospitals develop, with the reputation and strength of our hospital, there will be no shortage of patients. Director Lu, do you want to set up a medical institution similar to our Huashan Second Hospital to compete for middle- and high-income patients?" "

Lu Yuntao shook his head and said: "Given the status of Union Hospital in my country's medical community and in the hearts of the people, it is not suitable to establish a medical institution dedicated to serving middle- and high-income patients. It will be scolded by the people across the country."

He said with a worried look on his face: "What I am most worried about is that the medical experts in the hospital will be poached by foreign hospitals with high salaries, and we will become their talent training base."

"As a public hospital, it is impossible for us to significantly increase the salary of outstanding doctors."

These words made Li Yao smile and said: "In response to this situation, we have a solution, which is to give outstanding doctors an extra salary."

Lu Yuntao asked in confusion: "Offer an extra salary, Dean Li, what do you mean?"

Li Yao smiled and said, "Dean Lu, Dean Xiao, this is an important topic at this dean's forum. I can reveal a few things first."

He paused for two seconds before continuing: "The two presidents may not know yet, but Dr. Yu and the Ning'an Group and Changxu Pharmaceutical behind him have created another medical insurance plan."

"This insurance is mainly targeted at middle- and high-income people and provides them with expert-level medical services."

"This medical insurance plan relies on well-known hospitals across the country to establish a medical network. When patients become seriously ill, excellent medical experts will be assigned to treat them across the country."

Xiao Rui revealed: "To put it bluntly, you are using well-known hospitals across the country as a gimmick to attract middle- and high-income people to buy your insurance."

Seeing that Dean Li didn't speak, Qu Chang explained, "Dean Xiao, this is a matter of mutual benefit."

"This medical insurance plan, from another perspective, can be seen as each hospital setting up a virtual high-end medical institution specifically to serve middle- and high-income patients."

"Because it is not an entity, and there is a medical insurance company in front of it, it will not affect the reputation of Union Hospital, West China Hospital and other hospitals among the public."

"Moreover, the medical insurance company will also provide a remuneration to the outstanding doctors who participate. In addition to the remuneration, the participating hospitals and doctors will also exchange information and conduct exchanges and training on a regular and irregular basis."

Li Yao took over and said: "As long as the middle- and high-income people participating in this medical insurance plan reach a certain scale, the income of outstanding doctors in various hospitals will be greatly improved. Coupled with the continuous exchange and training opportunities, they will be attracted by foreign investment." The difficulty of poaching the hospital will be greatly increased.”

"This can also be said that our well-known hospitals across the country are uniting to make progress and develop together, and to resist competition from foreign medical institutions."

Lu Yuntao nodded slightly and said: "President Li, Vice President Qu, your medical insurance plan sounds very attractive, and I don't doubt its feasibility."

"But it is not an easy thing to implement a plan and then succeed."

"Especially since insurance has a bad reputation among the Chinese people, Ning An and Chang Xu are not in the insurance business. If they implement this plan, it will take ten or eight years to see results, which I think is fast."

"The problem is that time is running out and we need to move forward quickly. The power of Ning An and Chang Xu alone is too weak."

Li Yao felt something when he heard this and looked at Lu Yuntao and Xiao Rui asked thoughtfully: "In fact, you have known the content of this medical insurance plan for a long time?"

Lu Yuntao nodded and shook his head, and said with an embarrassed look: "President Li, I only know that there is such a medical insurance plan, and the specific content is unknown. But after listening to you, I feel that this insurance plan still has great potential."

After two seconds of silence, he turned and said: "To be honest, we are here to lobby."

He met the eyes of Li Yao and Qu Chang and introduced: "Huaihai Investment and Dr. Yu Zhiming had some unpleasantness."

"Huaihai Investment also realized its mistake and decided to change the investment Strategy, to do business in a down-to-earth way. "

"They chose the medical insurance industry."

"Currently, they have a controlling stake in an insurance company. If Dr. Yu is willing to cooperate, they promise that the annual investment in the next five years will not be less than 10 billion. The important thing is that they are only responsible for investment, not management decision-making power."

"Other cooperation conditions can also be discussed!"

Li Yao waited for Lu Yuntao to finish speaking, and asked in confusion: "President Lu, President Xiao, how did you get involved in this matter?"

Lu Yuntao smiled bitterly and said: "Once an elder who helped me a lot found me, and I couldn't refuse."

Xiao Rui also spoke softly "To be honest, I'm in a similar situation. I hope Dean Li and Vice Dean Qu can mediate."

Li Yao pondered and said, "I don't know much about the matter between Huaihai Investment and Dr. Yu. But I know one thing, the closure of Gancaotang across provinces has completely irritated Dr. Yu."

Qu Chang suddenly asked, "The other party asked you two to come and mediate. Is their situation not good?"

Lu Yuntao said softly, "What I understand is that the higher-ups are furious and have set up an investigation team to thoroughly investigate Huaihai Investment."

"They want to reconcile with Dr. Yu before the investigation results come out, and try to deal with it less severely..."
