Chapter 1160 - 1119: Colorful Flags Fluttering
In the early morning, Lin Jie awoke from his sleep to find a sweet and soft person nestled by his side.He opened his eyes and saw An Kexin, with her face partly covered by fine hair, sleeping soundly.
Last night, when he went to bed at eleven, she hadn't come back yet; he didn't know what time she went to sleep.
Lin Jie checked the time, and it was already close to six in the morning.
Thinking about today's opening ceremony, Lin Jie reluctantly kissed An Kexin to wake her up.
An Kexin, upon waking, turned over and asked groggily, "What time is it?"
"It's six o'clock!"
An Kexin mumbled a response, lay there for another ten seconds, and then suddenly got out of bed.
She covered her mouth, yawned continuously, and walked barefoot to the bathroom, muttering, "I'm going to take a shower first to wake up!"
After freshening up, Lin Jie went to the living room, where Yuanyuan, who cheerfully called "Uncle," and Lele ran over to him!
Yuanyuan hugged his left leg and Lele pounced on the right—allocations were quite clear and precise.
Lin Jie reached out to hold Yuanyuan, who was in a pink tutu and cartoon sandals, in his arms, and laughed, "Yuanyuan, you look like a little princess today. Who dressed you up?"
She pointed her fair little hand at An Kemeng and said, "Aunt Meng!"
Lin Jie oh-ed in response and asked, "Why are you up so early today? Didn't want to sleep a little longer?"
Yuanyuan clapped her hands, saying, "Aunt Meng said she's taking me to a fun and busy place today, so I can't sleep in."
"Uncle, can we play ball?"
After playing with Yuanyuan for a while, when it was time for breakfast, the refreshed and radiant An Kexin appeared before everyone.
After quickly finishing breakfast, Lin Miao took An Kemeng's Porsche, and Lin Jie, An Kexin, and Yuanyuan took Qin Gang's Phaeton to head to Anlin Hospital together.
Once the vehicle turned onto the main road and was driving smoothly, Lin Jie held An Kexin's hand and said, "It'll take about two hours on the road. You were back so late last night, get some sleep."
An Kexin shook her head, blushing, and said, "On such an important day, just thinking about it makes me excited. How can I sleep?"
She said eagerly, "A-Jie, today we will have cooperation agreements signed with twenty-nine hospitals. They will send, in two batches, a total of two hundred and eighteen doctors to our place for learning."
"The first batch is one hundred and twenty-one people, and the second is in half a year."
"Our idea is that in half a year, Anlin Hospital will have pretty much adjusted in all aspects. We will have a general understanding of the character and abilities of our newly hired doctors and can send some of them out for study."
"This way, we can make some positions available for the incoming exchange doctors."
"Meanwhile, after half a year of practice, we will be more familiar with management work and can effectively allocate more doctors' daily tasks."
An Kexin laughed and said, "Dean Gong told me that he initially estimated that Anlin Hospital would have a year or two of sparsely attending patients and quietly uninterested days. But unexpectedly, as soon as we opened, we were flooded with patients."
"Under such circumstances, even twice as many doctors can be accommodated."
"However, Dean Gong said that a busy work state can better train doctors and help them learn more quickly."
Lin Jie responded with a light oh, saying casually, "Hospital management, you can make the decisions on that."
"By the way, how many available beds does the hospital have?"
While checking her phone, An Kexin replied, "We have deliberately controlled the intake speed of patients, advising those with minor ailments to seek treatment at other hospitals."
"Currently, the hospital still has seventy-three empty beds."
"Dean Gong said because the hospital is new, all staff are new and lacking coordination. If we aren't careful, lapses can occur. After a few months of getting used to it, collaboration will be smooth enough to place beds in the corridors."
"In that situation, the hospital can add nearly a hundred beds."
Lin Jie shook his head and said, "Unless under special circumstances, don't let the hospital operate in an overloaded state."
"After all, we are a very young hospital. Different departments don't coordinate well, and there are too many recently graduated intern doctors. It's easy for major medical incidents to occur."
Continuing, he decided, "Kexin, use websites, media channels, and other information outlets to issue a pre-warning to the public, informing them that our hospital's capacity for admitting patients is reaching its limit."
"If they feel unwell, please advise them to choose a nearby hospital to avoid a wasted trip."
Lin Jie thought for a moment and added, "This pre-warning mechanism is something I think necessary to establish. The hospital is so far from downtown, it's not easy for patients to come here."
"Discuss among yourselves and set a pre-warning line, perhaps triggered when empty beds fall below eighty or fifty, to notify the public."
An Kexin nodded and said, "I'll inform Dean Gong about the pre-warning, for them to investigate a reasonable number. In fact, today we have already posted a warning-like announcement on the website."
"We stated in the announcement that today is our opening day, and there will be a series of activities; in principle, we will no longer admit patients."
She brought up a document on her phone and handed the phone to Lin Jie.
"A-Jie, these are the exchange doctors from eleven medical institutions who have arrived in Binhai, as previously discussed. There are fifty-two people in total. Take a look at their qualifications."
Lin Jie took the phone and glanced at the list, surprised: "These eleven hospitals are all led by chief doctors, with deputy chief doctors as the main force, and the least experienced is an attending physician."
An Kexin sighed lightly: "They've sent their elite forces to learn your skills. The $50,000 annual training fee per person is not easy to earn."
"Ajie, I've discussed with Dean Gong, these people are veterans from well-known hospitals worldwide, with superb medical skills and rich experience. They've come here to learn from you."
"However, they themselves can also be our learning targets."
"We plan to assign one of our interns to each of them under the guise of facilitating work and communication."
Lin Jie said happily: "That's a pretty good idea, equivalent to arranging one-on-one international mentor doctors for those interns."
"Also, instruct those interns to be more proactive and social, and try to become friends with these guys. This friendship will be greatly beneficial to them."
An Kexin smiled and said: "We don't need to remind them of this."
"These interns are quite smart and surely understand that these foreign doctors coming to the hospital for exchange are backbone forces of their respective hospitals, with limitless prospects."
She asked again: "Ajie, the opportunity to study abroad at various hospitals is a quite scarce resource. Do you have any specific thoughts on the exchange terms?"
Lin Jie smiled confidently: "This exchange opportunity is very rare for many hospitals in the country, but for us, it's a simple and easy matter."
"So many quotas left with us are wasted."
"Exchanging them is also contributing to the improvement of medical standards in our brother units. As for the transaction terms, let's pick practical ones, supplementing what Anlin Hospital lacks or plans to have shortly."
He continued to remind: "Don't be too excessive with the conditions we propose; we will continue to cross paths with them, so don't truly open your mouth like a lion."
An Kexin giggled and said: "I do know a bit about the costs of external training exchanges. Entrusting training incurs a yearly fee of $100,000 to $200,000."
"Even for friendly exchange training, food, accommodation, and travel costs amount to RMB 100,000 to RMB 200,000 annually."
"The entities signing agreements with us are top international medical institutions. Studying with them for a year is quite beneficial, and they also provide us exchange funds, so almost no money is needed for food and accommodation."
"So calculated, wouldn't converting a quota into RMB 500,000 be reasonable?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie happily said: "Foreigners come to study with us, paying us $50,000 a year, and also work for our hospital, with food, accommodation, and travel not covered."
"The exchanged quota is then sold by you for RMB 500,000 each, this trade-off..."
"Kexin, I find this more profitable than running a hospital."
An Kexin also laughed proudly and said: "Who made my Ajie so capable."
"Knowledge is priceless; they use limited money to learn from you invaluable knowledge for curing and saving lives, it's them who truly profit."
Just then, An Kexin received a call from Li Haoxiang.
After listening to the other party on the phone for a while, An Kexin coldly said: "Regretting only at this time? Too late, why not act earlier."
"They were unjust first; they deserve this!"
After hanging up, An Kexin cheerfully said: "Ajie, the personal information of those dozens of people who defaulted, court litigation information, investigation notifications, and event details were posted on Anlin Hospital's website, your personal website, and Twitter accounts at around one in the morning."
"I didn't expect results so quickly."
"Lawyer Li told me one defaulter contacted him, saying he's been terminated from the American County Hospital's internship agreement and hopes we can properly resolve the breach issue and remove his personal information."
Lin Jie shook his head and said: "These people, they always fail to cry until they see the coffin..."
After eight-thirty in the morning, a Hui Teng car drove into the Phoenix Mountain District, turning onto the avenue leading to Anlin Hospital.
"Uncle, look, flags, so many flags!"
Lin Jie looked out the car window to see flagpoles every seven or eight meters, each about five or six meters high, with colorful flags fluttering at the top, printed with striking, bold characters!
"Anlin Hospital"
"Mayo Clinic"
"Anlin Hospital"
"Johns Hopkins Hospital"
Every flag with "Anlin Hospital" is alternated with a flag featuring different hospital names.
Looking at this endless road of fluttering flags, Lin Jie couldn't help but ask: "I don't recall there being any celebration arrangement from the hospital."
An Kexin bashfully said: "It's dad's idea, saying it looks grand, impressive, and festive!"
Lin Jie was somewhat speechless.
Before entering Anlin Hospital, Lin Jie first saw over thirty neat and towering flagpoles.
These no longer carried flags with hospital names but instead, various national flags.
Lin Jie happily said: "Kexin, with this setup, the place we're about to enter is not our Anlin Hospital but an international medical institution established by the United Nations!"
