Chapter 665: Chapter 596 Ambush_2 Chapter 665: Chapter 596 Ambush_2 But now it seems, this matter cannot be put off any longer.

This young man must be poached. If he had been poached earlier, the research would be credited to our hospital.

This is a world-class medical achievement. It’s just that it is still in the clinical experiment stage, so people don’t feel its powerful impact. But once it truly enters clinical application, it will absolutely cause a sensation in the field of spinal surgery.

Moreover, the way this kid operates, it’s only a matter of time before he creates even bigger waves.

As everyone else continued in their group study, Professor Qin Shi temporarily left the meeting room and went to Dean Liu’s office.

Dean Liu put down the work in his hands: “Professor Qin, I have considered your proposal with Commissioner Qiao, and we think it’s excellent.”

Professor Qin suggested to Dean Liu that they should restart the plan to recruit Yang Ping, and that there could be no more delay. Technically, this would not be a restart, as 301 had just put the recruitment plan on hold.

This suggestion of Qin Shi was stimulated by the new spinal technology, so he immediately proposed to Dean Liu to expedite the recruitment plan.

After repeated consideration, Dean Liu felt it was time to speed up. His reasons were both professional and personal.

Professionally, because he had been given a directive from higher-ups. Mission must be accomplished.

On a personal level, it was quite simple. If the hospital could continue to release significant technological innovations during his tenure, he would certainly benefit as the dean.

For instance, if the hospital produced an academician in his thirties, or published world-class medical achievements, of course, it would be credited to him as well.

301 has already established a branch in Hainan. Dean Liu wouldn’t mind adding a branch in Nandu Province as well, which conforms to the current strategic planning of the hospital, and higher-ups would support it too.

“Professor Qin, do you have any specific ideas?”

Dean Liu was eager to hear Professor Qin’s suggestions, as he is the one who would carry out the plan.

Qin Shi paused before saying: “Our first trip to Sanbo was just to extend an olive branch. This time, we can’t adopt the same strategy of direct confrontation. We need to use a maneuver strategy in the name of scientific research cooperation. We should offer him a certain number of beds here, provide a legitimate position, assign a team to him, and then invite him to do surgeries from time to time. Once he knows our advantages, he will naturally agree.”

Dean Liu felt this plan was feasible: “Let’s do it this way. As long as he’s willing, we can negotiate many things. If he is used to the climate in the south, he can continue to work there, just change his affiliation. If he prefers freedom, we won’t restrict him. You all still perform surgeries every day, don’t you? Do you remember the 16-character directive from the higher up? Mission must be accomplished; be unconstrained; patiently mobilize; and respond flexibly. So, let’s follow your maneuver strategy and take it step by step. I guess it will take no less than three rounds to convince this young man.”

Dean Liu also had a final trump card in mind, if all else fails — purchases Sanbo Hospital and turn it into a branch of 301, and naturally resolve the situation.

However, that would be the final move.

First maneuver, then conclude. All’s well that ends well.

After plotting with Dean Liu, Professor Qin returned to his office where his beloved daughter, Qin Peiling, had been waiting for a long time.

“What’s the matter?” Professor Qin didn’t like being disturbed during work hours.

Qin Peiling instantly stood up straight: “I request to be sent to Sanbo Hospital as an instrument nurse for the new technology training.”

Qin Shi was a little confused. After her visit to Sanbo Hospital, she seemed to be yearning to go again.

Her task during the last visit was to “turn” Yang Ping’s girlfriend.

But it now seemed, it was as if she had been “turned” by her “opponent”?

—
The basketball game was still going strong. The Comprehensive Surgery Department was this year’s dark horse, their strength greatly enhanced because of their foreign aid. However, due to their inability to field a full team, claiming the championship still seemed a tall order.

As traditional powerhouses, the Administration and Emergency departments were still going strong. Dean Xia was almost sent off a few times by Professor Zhang’s whistle, greatly dampening his enthusiasm on the court.

Without the so-called King’s Ball tactic, the Administrative team’s strength was slightly reduced. Dean Xia wasn’t happy about it. Every single year, no basketball competition had left him feeling as frustrated as this year did. He had the strength but no outlet to showcase it. He was so mad he could bite something, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Unexpectedly, this Professor Zhang Zongshun, didn’t give any face at all. After all, he is also a dean. Without saying too much, don’t you think he could avoid idle threats of punishment?

In front of all the hospital staff, the dean is left with no dignity at all.

The recent issues surrounding the hospital are mixed and numerous; the centralized procurement of consumables, zero mark-up on medicines, medical insurance flight checks, etc. As the dean of a provincially-ranked Sanbo Hospital, Dean Xia clearly understands that all these policies ultimately have one goal: to save money for the people and for the country.

China has a large population. Naturally, any figure multiplied by over a billion people becomes an astronomical number, making many things difficult to move around or change.

Being a dean is not easy. He has various internal and external challenges he needs to deal with.

Luckily, several vice deans are quite supportive, and the leadership team is relatively united. It’s not like other hospitals where there is constant infighting, creating a toxic atmosphere.

“Dean Xia!”

Dean Sun knocked on the door and came in.

“Old Sun, sit down!” Dean Xia suggested.

Just as Dean Sun was getting settled and about to put down the tea he was holding, Director Han and Director Zhao from the Medical Affairs Department also came in.

The four sat around the coffee table. Dean Xia frowned:
“Just received a call from Hospital 301. They want to hire Yang Ping as a part-time professor, saying it’s for better clinical trial cooperation. They also want to arrange for Yang Ping to practice at multiple locations. Their reason is good; It would make it easier for Yang Ping to guide the surgery later.”

“Hehe.”

Director Zhao chuckled twice: “A few months ago, a force parachuted into our hospital to stir things up for a few days, but achieved nothing. They were quiet afterwards, so why are they resorting to this trick now? As for the demonstration surgery, it’s just a few procedures. Should they hire a part-time professor and arrange for a multi-point practice? I think they’re just trying to infiltrate.”

Dean Sun tilted his head slightly in thought and said: “We have to look at it this way. If this is the behavior of Hospital 301, we can play Tai Chi with them and they can do nothing about us. However, if this is directed by a higher level, we can only cooperate and cooperate well to reap some benefits.”

“We should still wait and see. Even if they want to poach people again, Yang Ping must agree, right? If he doesn’t agree, then no one can do anything about it. If he agrees, we can’t retain him anyway.”

The clear logic behind Director Han’s words is that everything depends on Yang Ping’s own thinking.

However, considering Yang Ping’s current development trajectory, he has made great achievements in just a few months, which suggests that the environment at Sanbo is more conducive to his work. If he were to change places at this point, it would disrupt his growth.

“We’re all just guessing right now. What if they’re just looking to collaborate purely on clinical trials? When the time comes, we’ll confront the soldiers and hold back the water. If Yang Ping is unwilling to go, how can they force him to?” Director Zhao felt that everyone was worrying unnecessarily.

Dean Xia rubbed his tea cup: “I’ve heard rumors that Hospital 301 has plans to set up branches outside Beijing in recent years. They’ve already built a branch in Hainan. Somehow I have a vague feeling that they’re trying to encircle us, waiting for the right time to swallow us up.”

“Old Xia, you’re dreaming in broad daylight. They’re going to acquire our hospital just for Xiao Yang? That won’t happen, that’s simply too ruthless. If it really happens that way, wouldn’t that be an upgrade for our hospital? Wouldn’t that mean no need to worry about funding? Wouldn’t there be a guard at the door? As the director of medical affairs, wouldn’t I have to spar with medical troublemakers? This is a good thing.” Director Zhao took a sip of tea.

Dean Xia only had this sort of feeling because Hospital 301 once sent a team to poach from us.

The motivation behind such a grand gesture is definitely not that simple. Moreover, at the time, Dean Xia was instructed by the Provincial Hall to cooperate!

Sanbo Hospital, after being self-operated for so many years, finally took shape. Its dream is about to be realized. They really didn’t want to become someone else’s branch.

As for Yang Ping, he also poured his heart into his work. He wasn’t sure whether moving to another place would provide the same kind of environment and delay a future genius.

So, the daydream mentioned by Director Zhao is not really a good dream to Dean Xia.

“I called everyone today to discuss this issue. I wanted to give everyone a heads-up. Everyone should keep this confidential and consider it carefully. Although the probability is low, if this day comes, during the negotiations, we should strive for some initiative, rather than being right on the edge.”

Everyone then understood the real purpose of Dean Xia’s call.

He must have heard something from his superiors or from the Provincial Hall, and that’s why he’s talking like this.
