Chapter 591 Tips for naming hospitals

Hearing that the real oil tycoon wanted to donate so much money, Chen Qi stood up all of a sudden, held the chief's hand tightly, and sincerely thanked:

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chief and Madam Chief. In the words of our country, your sponsorship is like sending carbon in the snow. In this way, according to international practice, let me think about what I should get for our new building name?"

Foreign countries and my country's Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions have an unspoken rule for donations, that is, the name of the donor will be highlighted.

For example, there is a "Shaw Building" on campuses across the country, which was donated by Mr. Run Run Shaw, a Hong Kong media tycoon.

Later, there was a well-known Zhejiang Third Hospital in Haidong Province, "Show Run Shaw Hospital", which was also donated by his old man.

The name of "Shaw Building" or "Run Run Shaw Hospital" is to recognize the contribution of the donor on the one hand, and to let everyone remember the donor on the other hand.

But there is also a problem here. If it is donated by Chinese compatriots, then the name is easy to choose.

Now that the Arab sheikh wants to donate a hospital, the name must be chosen carefully, otherwise he will get into trouble.

If you come to "Sheikh Abdullah Hospital" or "Prince Aziz Hospital", it sounds like a foreign name. If you use this name to name the hospital, how many people will touch sensitive nerves?

I'm afraid that Chen Qi will be scolded by the people of the whole country as a coward and a woman who worships foreigners.

If someone gives you some money, you will obediently call him daddy? Do you have any backbone?

Or call him Chen Qi is a "comprador" of the new era? Seeing doctors for foreigners, doing things for foreigners, and even changing the names of national hospitals to foreigners. Did Chen Qi forget his ancestors?

Don't think that this kind of public opinion will not happen, Chen Qi can be sure that this kind of rumor will definitely spread.

For example, the richest man surnamed Ma in Haidong Province in later generations founded an Internet company. At first, 18 brothers followed him to do it. Later, the financial chain couldn't keep up with the big business, so he begged his grandpa and grandma everywhere for investment.

No one is optimistic about domestic capital.

Finally, a rich man surnamed Sun in Japan invested in this Internet company, and then also got the equity. This is a very normal capital investment behavior.

The end result?

When the market value of this Internet company was hundreds of billions of dollars, it was attacked by some media and netizens as a Japanese-funded company, and the founder of the company surnamed Ma was accused of serving the Japanese and being a Han woman.

People first smear you morally, and then question you financially. In the end, some capital directly sharpened their knives and drove the founder out of the company, or even out of the country, making it difficult to return home.

So sometimes public opinion has a position and is oriented, while the public and the people who eat melons are confused and are very easy to be exploited.

Wait for the day when Chen Qi becomes the biggest mountain in the domestic medical field and blocks the way of others, then things like throwing dirty water at Chen Qi will definitely happen.

Sometimes populism is a very scary thing, and it can easily destroy a person.

Chen Qi doesn't want to spend the rest of his life wandering the earth and dying in a foreign country, so some risks must be avoided. In Vietnamese, he has to bring his trousers back out.

So how can it reflect the contribution of the donor and be accepted by the people of Huaguo? This name is difficult to choose.

At this time, Chen Qi caught sight of the gifts given to his twins by the chieftain and his wife. Among them were a bunch of fairy tale books, including "The Adventures of the Prince". He immediately found inspiration.

"Mr. Chief, Madam Chief, in order to thank you for your donation and to express my personal respect to you, I decided to name the main building of our endoscopy center 'Prince Building'. How about it? Do you think this name is appropriate?"

"Hahaha~~~Okay, let's call it Wangzilou!"

Chief Abdullah readily agreed. He naturally understood that the name was the most appropriate. After all, it was not a donation within the country. It is already a great face to get the "naming right" in the conservative Huaguo.

The reason why the young chief took out such a large sum of money at once was not only to be grateful to Chen Qi, but also to hide an important purpose.

That is to show favor to a big country.

Donating to a hospital in Huaguo is actually donating to Huaguo. The upper echelons of Huaguo have seen the closeness shown by Baotou, and believe that some future cooperation between the two countries can proceed smoothly.

So, there is a deep connotation behind every move of the political figures, but Chen Qi can't see it.

The chief's wife was also very satisfied after hearing "Prince House", which is equivalent to accumulating virtue for her son, and finding a big country as a protective umbrella, which also indicates that the position of Chief Aziz will become very stable.

Just as everyone was laughing, Chief Abdullah suddenly made another request:

"Dr. Chen, I have another request. I think endoscopy can already represent the highest technology of today's medicine. As far as I know, we have not yet carried out endoscopic surgery in Baotou, which makes me very dissatisfied.

So my request is that our country will send some doctors to China, and when they come to Vietnam, I will ask Dr. Chen to teach them. When they are finished in Canada, our country will also be able to carry out endoscopic surgery, which can benefit our people. . "

Chen Qi nodded again and again:

"Mr. Chief, your vision of new things and new technologies is too precise, and the layout is bigger than everyone else, which is so admirable. Many people are questioning the role of endoscopic surgery, and you can decisively send doctors here For further studies, focus on this, and I will definitely teach them without reservation."

People like to hear good words, especially the appreciation and admiration from foreigners, which makes the young chief's tail become more and more high, and the smiles on his face are getting more and more.

"Where is it? In fact, I also wanted to be a doctor who saved lives and healed the wounded back then. Unfortunately, I couldn't help myself. I had to be this chief. Sigh, so I actually envy you very much."

Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, thinking that the level of the chief's pretentiousness was not inferior to his own.

So the two businesses bragged about each other for a long time, and both parties were very happy.

Unfortunately, the only fly in the ointment is that until the chief couple left, Chen Qi did not receive a private donation.

After sending the person away, Chen Qi took the check and sighed, his wallet didn't bulge.

But then he was overjoyed. Now he has 6 million RMB and 21 million US dollars in his hands. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest dean of the Huaguo health system.

Then he can plan the new hospital in his mind, and many drawings have to be redesigned.

It highlights a high-level, fully integrated with international hospitals. Anyway, Chen Qi is not short of money now, and he no longer needs to be afraid to spend money.

If you don't have money, you have the trouble of not having money, but if you have money, you have the trouble of having money.

No, after the news spread that President Chen had a huge amount of foreign exchange, all the princes couldn't sit still.

During the Chinese New Year before, the American entertainment tycoon donated 1 million US dollars and caused a sensation in the national health system.

Then the 20 million donation almost blinded everyone's eyes. I don't know how many people in the health system slapped the table and scolded Chen Qi, a little bastard, how could he be so lucky?

People who are far away can't get it, but people who are near are all interested in the money.

The fastest responder was President Li Yuhan of Haidong Medical University.

In the director's office of the Yuezhong People's Hospital, Principal Li and the chief financial officer sat there looking a little embarrassed, while Chen Qi and Guo Yuanhang sat on the side, looking a little helpless.

"President Li, you said that you are a university, not a factory or enterprise, and you don't do foreign trade. Why do you need foreign exchange?"

"Ahem, that's not what you said. Our Haidong Medical University really has difficulties. You see, if we want to become a top medical university, we need to communicate with foreign countries and visit abroad, right? But each person can only exchange 100 US dollars now. This point What can money do?"

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, due to the shortage of foreign exchange reserves, the country was very strict about currency exchange. Generally, it was not exchanged, but it was meaningless, and you had to file a report and get a certificate from the unit.

(Wait, it seems that 2023 is still very strict)

That's why in this era, the black market foreign exchange market is very prosperous. The bank's RMB exchange rate is 1:4 or 1:5, but it can be exchanged at 1:10 in the black market.

Double the profit in the middle, and I don't know whether it is the bank's blackmail or the scalper's blacker.

Even if it is 1:10, there are almost no fools who exchange US dollars for RMB, because US dollars can be exchanged for foreign exchange certificates, and you can go to the Friendship Store to buy whatever you want, and become the envy of everyone.

Ordinary people who really need US dollars, such as going abroad or asking relatives and friends going abroad to bring some home appliances, can only go to the black market to exchange them, and then get slaughtered by scalpers.

Principal Li looked at Chen Qi's face, and continued to say cheekily:

"In addition, our university wants to subscribe to some foreign medical periodicals, or buy some English textbooks, all of which require precious foreign exchange, but you also said that we are a school, not a factory enterprise, and we have no place to earn foreign exchange. Well, isn't this just after you?"

At the beginning, Lan Lijuan obtained 2 million US dollars of funding for Helicobacter pylori from Sweden, and Chen Qi donated 200,000 US dollars to Haidong Medical University, which was regarded as "protection money".

The 200,000 US dollars did help Haidong Medical University a lot, and then they tasted the sweetness.

Chen Qi smacked his lips, his teeth hurt:

"Principal Li, you also know the domestic environment. If I open this hole, believe it or not, I will definitely not be able to keep the 20 million US dollars. Look at our superiors, from the department to the department to the bureau, Who does not lack foreign exchange?

I will give it to you Haidong Medical University and not to other units? Isn't this an offense to the dead, not to mention that Haidong Medical University is not directly under our leadership. If it is my personal loan, it doesn't matter if I lend it to my alma mater, but it is public funds. "

Old Guo also chimed in in time:

"Yes, Principal Li, you don't know what kind of hospital Chen Qi wants to build. Although 20 million US dollars is a lot, you have to know that a standard endoscopic operating room costs 1 million US dollars. What Chen Qi wants is a hospital. To build 20 in one breath, plus the infrastructure fee, the landlord's family has no food left.

Chen Qi nodded again and again: "That's right, I still want Haidong Medical University to invest more."

Hearing this, Principal Li angrily wanted to scold your mother: "Gua Wazi, I don't want your dollars for nothing. I'll exchange them with RMB."

The old man was so anxious that his native dialect came out.

"Of course I know the domestic environment, that's why I came here to make a head start, exchanging RMB with you for US dollars, so that you will have an excuse to refuse other people's hand in the future, even if you can't keep the US dollars, at least you still have RMB in your hand , is it better than being empty of people and money?"

After working on it for a long time, Principal Li also worked hard.

Of course, you can get some cheap money by the way. After all, the 1:10 exchange ratio in the black market is too much to bear. How much is a monthly salary?

Lao Guo rolled his eyes and slapped Chen Qi on the head:

"You son of a bitch, Principal Li is here to help you set the rules, but you have wronged Principal Li for asking for money. Who do you think of Principal Li? Apologize quickly, he is the dean of such a big man Yeah, not stable at all."

Chen Qi touched the back of his head, and smiled embarrassedly:

"This, principal, I was wrong, you have a lot of adults, so don't worry about me, a young man in his 20s, hehe, hehehe, how do we calculate this exchange rate?"

Principal Li gave Chen Qi a blank look, and said unhappily:

"The bank's ratio is 1:3.7. We won't let you suffer, so let's use 1:4. How about it? I only need a limit of 1 million US dollars."

1 million US dollars is not much, but it can also alleviate the foreign exchange needs of Haidong Medical University, which is not a high requirement.

Chen Qi didn't dare to make up his mind, and quietly looked at Comrade Guo.

Guo Yuanhang didn't look at Chen Qi directly, but nodded slightly.

Chen Qi smiled and said: "Okay, since the old principal said so, let's change it, 1 million US dollars for 4 million RMB, that's the decision."

Anyway, building a hospital requires money. The U.S. dollar will either not move, and as long as it moves, it must be forcibly exchanged into RMB. You can't pay wages in U.S. dollars, can you?

Rather than making the bank cheaper, it is better to make your own relationship unit cheaper.

Principal Li left satisfied. Before Chen Qi and Lao Guo could discuss the use of funds, the leaders of the city also came.

Chief Qin S with his back behind him, followed by a group of cadres from the Construction Bureau, Material Bureau, Land Bureau, Municipal Garden Bureau, Sanitation Bureau, and Street Office came to provide door-to-door service.

"Old Guo, Xiao Chen, hehe, today I brought all the relevant leaders from our city. All the approvals for your new endoscopy center will go through the green channel. If you have any difficulties, please bring them up. Let's discuss and solve them together.

In addition, the city has already decided not only to give you the land of Xinjian Road Middle School, but also to transfer the warehouse of the material bureau next to it to you free of charge. How about it? This can increase the area by 50% compared to the original plan. The city Is there a lot of support for you? "

Chen Qi was overjoyed when he heard this. Of course, the bigger the site, the better, even if it is a small park in the courtyard.

"Thanks to the leadership for their care and support, so that we have more confidence in building the China Endoscopy Center."

In fact, Chen Qi is now a deputy department-level cadre, and he doesn't need to look at Chief Qin's face at all, but there is no way, he hasn't adapted to his status yet.

Only Lao Guo always felt that something was wrong after listening to it. He felt that the city leader must have some "conspiracy", otherwise why did he suddenly attach so much importance to the Endoscopy Center?

After all, medical and health care has never been valued by the leaders, even if you don't look at the Health Bureau, it is ranked at the bottom.
