Chapter 1086 False Prosperity (3)(1/2)
Ye Jingli wore short sleeves and stepped onto the port of Tang Dynasty.
He spent nearly three months on the rocking passenger ship, and he was still a little unaccustomed to setting foot on solid ground.
Ye Jingli, as the young master of Ci'an Tang, was a volunteer of the Red Gourd Organization and went to free clinics in war-torn Europe.
He and his eldest brother Ye Jingren discovered that Europe's medical resources were always scarce and this was a promising market.
Whether in rich areas or poor areas, there will be patients.
In poor areas, there will be more patients.
As long as people are sick, they need doctors to solve them.
There was a shortage of doctors in Europe at that time. A city of more than 200,000 people did not even have a hospital.
The two brothers of the Ye family decided to develop the European market at that time.
Their colonies in Africa rescued a large number of soldiers from Chu and Song.
From this point on, the two brothers of the Ye family formed a profound friendship with the states of Chu and Song.
The branches of Ci'antang Hospital in Europe gradually developed with Chu and Song as the centers.
The major hospitals in the empire were still struggling to develop in the country.
The Ye family's Ciantang Hospital has opened more than 50 hospitals in Europe.
Yejia is one of the most successful examples of transformation among many pharmaceutical-related companies.
Because of their outstanding performance, the two brothers stood out from the many heirs in the family.
The inheritance of power for a business family like the Ye family is completely different from that of aristocrats and scholarly families.
Nobles are divided into concubines and backgrounds. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for concubines to compete with legitimate sons for power.
Scholarly families look at their children's talents, after all, they need to pass the imperial examination.
If you can't gain fame, even if you are a legitimate son, you can't gain family property.
The concubine has excellent knowledge, can become a high school scholar, and achieves some achievements in the officialdom.
He can completely turn the branch he is on into the main vein.
The business family has another approach, which is simply to raise gu.
To remain viable, a business family must be able to earn enough profits.
Business families do not distinguish between direct descendants. Whichever heir can bring more benefits to the family will be trained as the next patriarch.
Because of Ye Jingren's outstanding achievements, he was trained as the next clan leader and was making connections with the family in the empire.
Ye Jingli also became the director of Ci'an Church in Europe.
The group of them quickly passed through customs.
There are nearly a hundred people in their group, and except for a few members of the Ye family, they are all graduates of the medical school.
Ciantang Hospital accepted the invitation of the Four Nations Alliance and went to the Four Nations Alliance to open 20 hospitals.
These medical school graduates he brought were only the first batch of doctors to come to work.
The imperial medical school is not about teaching students who study hard.
Their theories and techniques have reached the threshold of being able to treat diseases, but they lack experience.
These medical school graduates signed long-term contracts with Ciantang Hospital and went to European hospitals to gain experience.
What attracts these inexperienced medical school graduates to Europe is not only the high wages but also the opportunity to be surgeons.
When Ye Jingli checked into the hotel where he was staying, Xu Jin, the director of the Ye family's Four Nations Alliance Preparatory Hospital, came over with an anxious look on his face.
"Master Jingli, you arrived in time.
All contracts we signed with graduates of Tang and Fujian medical schools are void.
Without support from the empire, our Ci'antang Hospital would not be able to continue operating."
Ye Jingli had no idea that he would receive a blow as soon as he arrived in Tang Kingdom.
He asked in surprise: "Director Xu, what's going on?
There was an economic crisis in the empire, and the family's assets shrank in order to prevent the economic crisis.
Increased investment in the vassal countries, but unexpectedly there was also an economic crisis in the vassal countries.
The family is like ants on a hot pot, scurrying around in a hurry.
The economy of the vassal country suddenly improved.
Seemingly overnight, the market returned to prosperity.
In this prosperous market, making money is the first priority.
Why do medical graduates from the Quad Alliance default on their contracts?
The salary we offer already exceeds the salary level of local hospitals.
Although the wages of these local people are not as high as those of doctors invited from the empire.
But the level of the two is also different. As their level gets better, their wages will also rise."
Xu Jin said helplessly: "Master Jingli, if these doctors breach the contract, we can use various means to make back the hospital's losses.
But they were recruited by the military of the Four Nations Alliance to become military doctors.
Not only are we unable to claim liquidated damages, all our early investment has been wasted.”
When Ye Jingli heard this result, he could only sigh.
Ci'antang's business strategy is simple.
Use cheaper wages to recruit local doctors to deal with simple diseases.
Recruit systematically trained medical school graduates in the empire, and they will become the backbone of the new hospital.
Hire well-known doctors with high salaries to solve difficult and complicated diseases.
Now the Four-Nation Alliance has simply taken away the grassroots level of Ci'antang Hospital with just one piece of paper.
Primary care doctors are very important. Most diseases are common and they can solve them.
Among these grassroots doctors, some of whom are highly motivated, Ci'antang Hospital will also train them into the backbone.
Ye Jingli himself is a doctor, and he knows that medicine is an empirical discipline.
If you are less talented, you will not be able to become a master in solving a certain disease.
But mastering various techniques and becoming an experienced doctor does not require too much talent.
Ye Jingli could not imagine why so many great changes had taken place in the Four Nations Alliance after he had only been away for half a year.
He said regretfully: "For some things, communication by telegraph alone is too inefficient.
Especially what happened recently, telegrams cannot explain clearly.
The railway to Europe built by the empire is not yet open to traffic.
Traveling to Europe by sea is still too long.
These doctors were recruited by the military and there was nothing we could do.
After all, we are businessmen, and we have to do business in the Four-Nation Alliance for a long time, so we can't do anything too outrageous.
I will talk to the senior officials of Tang and Fujian and ask them to compensate us from other places."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The only solution that Ye Jingli can think of is to have these two countries compensate.
It's simply impossible to ask them to pay.
Every expenditure of the Metropolitan Governor's Office will be scrutinized by civil servants.
This is a custom passed down from the empire.
But they can make the Four Nations Alliance give Ci'an Hall certain preferential policies.
This is very simple for the government, but it is extremely important for the development of Ci'antang Hospital.
Xu Jin saw that Master Jingli found a solution quickly, and his extremely anxious mood in the past few days was finally relieved.
He said with emotion: "Young Master Jingli, there is a rumor that has been making a lot of noise in Europe during this time.
This statement says that the current prosperity in Europe is completely false prosperity.
He is like a colorful soap bubble that will burst with just a prick."
When Ye Jingli heard this comment, he was not surprised at all and replied in a calm tone: "It seems that the situation in Europe is normal.
I was surprised by the small size of the market in Europe.
He recovered so quickly and the market became more prosperous than before.
This situation has not occurred in any empire with perfect systems and institutions.
The empire's current economic environment is still in recession compared to before the economic crisis.
