Chapter 326 Medical Career
After receiving more than 10 million yuan, Li Wen was ready to continue developing his media career, but one incident attracted Li Wen's great attention.
After this battle, Tianmen's medical expenses alone would be as high as more than 400,000 yuan, which Li Wen never expected.
Although a lot of people were injured in Tianmen this time, most of them were flesh injuries, which normally don't cost much.
But the expenses reported by Mu Yi really shocked Li Wen.
A stitch, a bandage and some anti-inflammatory drugs will cost thousands of dollars; a blood transfusion and treatment of a fracture will cost four to five thousand.
"The Zhang family is too shady. No wonder they can become the invisible richest man in Hong Kong." Li Wen cursed as he looked at the bill in his hand.
Li Wenwen was planning to implement the medical plan next year, but today's medical bills made him think twice in advance.
The Zhang family that Li Wen scolded just now is a medical tycoon in Hong Kong. The Zhang family specializes in medical equipment, hospitals, drugs and other medical-related industries.
Except for two foreign hospitals, the Zhang family has almost a monopoly on Hong Kong's medical care.
It's only the 1960s, and the business the Zhang family does has little technical content.
To put it bluntly, they are selling medicines and equipment from the West, and then selling them on Hong Kong Island at profits that are several times or even dozens of times higher.
As a person from the future who has been plagued by the plague, Li Wen will naturally not give up the medical industry when he comes to this era.
Medical care is a topic that humans can never avoid. No one can live without birth, aging, illness and death, so this industry is destined to always be a huge profit industry.
Li Wen had learned about history. This family was really not a toy. During the Anti-Japanese War, rat poison was sold to domestic soldiers as penicillin, and a large number of people were harmed for this.
Just like this, in the future, the Zhang family transformed and became the richest man hiding behind the scenes in Xiangdao. Even Li Paopao later was not as rich as the Zhang family.
Therefore, when he came to Hong Kong Island, Li Wen paid close attention to the current medical situation in Hong Kong Island and prepared for future development plans.
After a few months, Li Wen was satisfied with the observation results.
The medical care in Hong Kong is indeed developed, but it is aimed at the middle and upper class. They can enjoy spacious wards and effective medicines, all of which are so superior.
But these have nothing to do with ordinary people, and their medical needs are simply ignored.
Even if ordinary people are willing to spend huge sums of money to go to the hospital for medical treatment, they will be deterred by ruthless exploitation and greed.
In the hospital, you have to tip the nurse for drinking water and using the bedpan. If you don't tip, you will be treated mercilessly!
Of course, these are also related to the rapid development of Xiangdao.
Xiangdao was originally a small city with a population of more than 100,000 people. In the past decade or so, millions of people have entered the city, and the underlying medical environment has collapsed.
Ordinary people have nowhere to go to see a doctor when they get sick. Even if they have a little money, it is difficult and expensive to see a doctor. A minor illness may put a family back into poverty.
This has resulted in many people not daring to go see a doctor for even a minor illness, and can only deal with it. This is simply incomparable with mainland China.
There are barefoot doctors, doctors, and traveling doctors in every village in mainland China. The country at least pays attention to the medical treatment of ordinary people.
Moreover, there are a large number of professionals in mainland China who are actively improving the medical environment, and the sacred book Barefoot Doctor is about to be released.
With the popularity of barefoot doctors, Daxia will establish the most complete medical system in the world in the next few years.
On the other hand, here in Hong Kong, ordinary people can only go to small clinics with black doctors when they get sick, and the medical environment will not be effectively improved in the next twenty years.
It's not that Li Wen looks down on these small clinics, but that most of the doctors in these small clinics are mixed.
Many doctors are simply veterinarians. Unlike in mainland China, there is no regular training. Treating patients well is simply a matter of probability.
Moreover, there is a problem with Hong Kong’s medical system, which respects Western medicine.
However, Western medicine is too expensive, and Chinese medicine is suppressed by the Zhang family. As a result, treating a common cold and fever costs tens or hundreds of yuan.
Moreover, Xiangdao is a coastal area with scarce water resources and poor water awareness among the people, leading to the proliferation of malaria.
It’s not that malaria is not treatable, but that the price of Western medicine is too high. It costs thousands to treat malaria. Ordinary people spend so much money and can only wait to die if they get malaria.
"The Hong Kong Flu will hit Hong Kong the year after next. It seems that we should put our film career on hold and develop medical care first!" Li Wen sat in the office and started planning.
As a latecomer, Li Wen knew the greatness of Chinese medicine. Before Chinese medicine was suppressed, he wanted to leave a way out for Chinese medicine in Hong Kong.
Adhering to the principle of looking for help from the country when he has difficulties, Li Wen’s first thought was China Resources. He wanted to contact a group of traditional Chinese medicine doctors from China through China Resources.
After thinking about the measures, Li Wen directly picked up the phone book in his hand and started making calls.
"Mr. Qian, I am Li Wen. I have something to trouble you about. I wonder if you have time?" Li Wen smiled and made an appointment with Mr. Qian of China Resources.
In the afternoon, Li Wen went to Sing Tao Daily to urge Hu Xian'er and asked Sing Tao to hurry up and arrange global hairstyles. It was really impossible to let her cooperate with Chinese publishing houses.
He couldn't be in a hurry! Because once a pharmaceutical company starts up, it will cost a lot of money in early training and research.
"Mr. Qian, I have been coming to Hong Kong for a while, and I found that medical care for the people at the bottom of Hong Kong is a big problem.
A common cold and fever will cost tens or hundreds of yuan, so I want to open a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Xiangdao and establish a traditional Chinese medicine training institution.
But a good woman cannot make a meal without rice, and the purpose of coming here today is to contact the motherland through China Resources and ask for support." Li Wen said with a sincere face.
"Xiao Li, your idea is good and I support it. However, our country has a huge population base and a shortage of medical resources.
I don’t know what kind of support you want the country to give you. You have to know that the country is very poor." Mr. Qian pondered for a moment and said.
"Mr. Qian, you misunderstood, how can I take advantage of the country?
Now Daqin Daily has a small income, and I also have a lot of savings from writing and publishing books.
This time I plan to spend 10 million Hong Kong dollars to invest in the medical industry. I hope the country will support me with a group of veteran Chinese medicine practitioners to help me build a good foundation.
Of course, I will not let the country suffer. I donated 2 million to the Ministry of Health and will import 5 million Chinese medicinal materials later.
Moreover, the results of my traditional Chinese medicine training are shared with the country, and the country can provide support at any time if it needs it in the future." Li Wen said his plan.
Mr. Qian did not expect that Li Wen would be so generous, investing tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in medical care at one time.
It must be known that the country's total exports at last year's Canton Fair were only a few hundred million, which made him look at Li Wen with admiration, and his status in his heart directly improved by several levels.
"Okay, I can't find anything detrimental to the country in your request, and I personally support it with both hands.
But this is no small matter, you'd better write a written material and I'll hand it over to Beijing." Mr. Qian said seriously.
Li Wen knew that he had to write a report on everything he did in Daxia, so he had already written the written materials last night. When Mr. Qian finished speaking, he took it out of his bag and handed it over.
"After all, you are a young man and you should do things quickly. OK, I will take a look and send it to Beijing today." Mr. Qian looked at Li Wen with admiration.
"Then I'll prepare the place first and wait for the good news from Mr. Qian." Li Wen was impatient and left immediately after speaking.
