Surgery Godfather-Chapter 331 - 0315: Upgraded Cooperation
Chapter 331 -0315: Upgraded Cooperation
Now, wherever Yang Ping goes in Sanbo Hospital, he draws onlookers.
Their gazes remind him of how people would look at a panda in a zoo, no, it’s more like they are looking at an alien.
Even when Xiao Su is lining up in the cafeteria, the people in front would politely say to him, “You can go ahead.”
If Yang Ping and Xiao Su are eating in a corner of the cafeteria, the people around would take turns stealing glances at them, their eyes sweeping back and forth like spotlights.
He’s often greeted on the streets with, “Doctor Yang, I heard you scored two hundred and ninety one points?”
Yang Ping could only nod, laugh it off, and concede that the novelty of it all has quickly worn off.
...
He hopes this wave will pass soon, and people will forget about the number “291”.
Boss Cheng set up a meal. After sharing his after-work plans with Xiao Su, Yang Ping hurried off to the underground parking lot.
The usual place, “Fine Wine and Good Food” Restaurant. Old Cheng was happy. He pulled out the contract, glanced over it a few times, tapped it lightly with his fingers and carefully placed it in his document bag.
The proportion of shares had been amended several times by Old Cheng, from ten percent to twelve, fifteen, and now to twenty percent.
Offering twenty percent of shares with a guaranteed dividend of five million a year should be quite appealing.
Sanbo Hospital’s Sports Medicine Centre has grown as large as it is today all due to Doctor Yang’s efforts. If he really pushes at Li Quan Hospital, achieving an annual turnover of over one hundred million would not be a problem.
Old Cheng checked the time; Yang Ping and Su Nanchen would arrive soon. He had intended to pick them up, but they insisted on coming themselves.
As long as Yang Ping and Su Nanchen join, Li Quan Hospital will be unrivalled in G City, unthreatened by Yunjian.
The renovations are almost done, staff training is ready to go. Next, they will apply for international JCI certification. Once these steps are completed, Li Quan Hospital will become a truly high-end private hospital.
“How has Yunjian been doing lately? Any news?”
Boss Cheng’s competition with Yunjian is about to heat up, and he needs to be on guard for any potential interference. Not everyone plays a fair game.
“Director Tang recently made quite a stir, gaining a lot of fans by saving a patient with sudden cardiac and respiratory arrest. He performed CPR for three hours.” Dean Cai has been closely monitoring Yunjian’s activities. Since the boss is competing with them, he himself must lead the charge.
Old Cheng has always had a poor impression of this internet celebrity doctor, but regardless of what he feels, the doctor’s fanbase continues to grow, proving the power of positive publicity.
“What exactly happened?” Boss Cheng was still unclear about the details.
Dean Cai immediately pulled out his phone and pulled up the video: “This video is going viral, it got covered by national top media and received praises from all sides. Would you like to take a look at it?”
“Let me see, if it’s that good, top media outlets don’t lack funds, unlike local media. If they get covered, it means there’s something of value there, something out of the ordinary.”
The video on the phone was full of positive energy, so much so that even Old Cheng thought Yunjian was an exemplary medical practitioner.
“Thank you to Yunjian Hospital for giving me a second life. I have truly experienced the meaning of ‘great medical dedication’ with my life.” The patient was tearfully grateful.
“All of this is our duty. Rest well and recover as soon as possible.” The doctor shook hands cordially.
“Thank you, really, I’m extremely grateful. At the time when my heart and lungs stopped, I thought there was no hope for me. After a long time, I became desperate, but when a pair of warm hands pressed down on my chest, I saw the dawn of life –” The patient wiped his tears with his sleeves.
This was a round of ward visits. The doctor and nurses were following Director Tang during the ward visit. To celebrate the patient getting a second chance at life, the nurses had prepared flowers. It was a touching scene.
Director Tang ceremoniously taught everyone: “As doctors, are we not trying to save as many patients as possible? Each life in our hands is invaluable–.”
The whole video was not long, shot at good angles and very clear, very professionally done.
“Wait a minute, can you go back?”
“Just there. If his heart stopped and he couldn’t breathe, how could he feel a pair of warm hands pressing down on him?” Boss Cheng spotted the problem.
Dean Cai hadn’t noticed before: “Yeah, wasn’t the patient experiencing sudden cardiac and respiratory arrest? How was he conscious and able to feel a pair of warm hands pressing down on him? The patient’s heart had stopped and he wasn’t breathing for two hours, then received another three hours of CPR at the hospital. His heart stopped for five hours? Couldn’t have been Lazarus Syndrome, coming back to life from the dead, right?”
“That’s not right. The patient’s recounts are so vivid, he could feel a pair of hands pressing down on him, who’s lying here.”
Old Cheng was confused, had the patient’s heartbeat and breathing really stopped?
After parking, Yang Ping took the elevator up to the private dining restaurant. Su Nanchen had arrived a step earlier.
“Big Brother!” Yang Ping greeted.
Previous appellations like Dr. Su and Su Doctor, were now replaced with a proper address: Big Brother!
The dishes hadn’t arrived yet, Boss Cheng got straight to the point: “Doctor Yang, Doctor Su, I called you here today to discuss something with you.” Old Cheng poured the tea.
“Speak up if you have something on your mind!” Su Nanchen urged him, they were all scholars, so they spoke in a straightforward manner.
Old Cheng sat down, pondered for a moment, and said, “Our hospital is about to complete its upgrade soon, and I have an idea, I want to invite you two to own shares. The shares will be based on technological inputs, you don’t have to spend a penny. As for the share ratio, I think each person should hold twenty percent, and a minimum annual dividend of five million is guaranteed. What do you think?”
“Shares?” Yang Ping was slightly taken aback.
This was a good thing, twenty percent of the shares, and a guaranteed five million dividends, was definitely a generous offer.
However, energy is limited. He was good at medicine, not business. Yang Ping did not want to get involved in any business matters and just wanted to be a pure doctor.
Boss Cheng threw out the proposal and waited for their reply. Yang Ping took a sip of tea, “Old Cheng, this is a good proposal, and you are also sincere and generous.”
“Friendship always counts, even though we are all assembled here for profit, we should also go with someone who is agreeable.” Old Cheng was feeling confident now.
Yang Ping paused for a moment and said, “But I am not good at doing business, I don’t want to engage in it, I just want to be a pure doctor.”
“This…” Old Cheng’s heart, which had just warmed up, was suddenly frozen.
Countless disturbing thoughts flashed through his mind. Could it be that someone else had already approached Yang Ping and he was completely unaware of it?
If so, the consequences would be unbearable. If Yang Ping were to help his competitor, he might end up being crushed into pieces.
Su Nanchen was also surprised. This twenty percent share was neither too much nor too little for Yang Ping.
Old Cheng’s hospital had invested sixty million real gold and silver recently. Although it was a bit small, this high-end specialized hospital could easily earn several million in dividends every year.
This guy turned down the offer without leaving any room for negotiation. He wondered what was going on.
“Young Master Su, this…” Boss Cheng turned to Su Nanchen for help.
Su Nanchen was also in a dilemma. Although Yang Ping would be his future brother-in-law, he couldn’t boss him around just because his little sister could.
“Old Cheng, don’t misunderstand. As I said, I admire your honesty and integrity. Among all the private hospitals in G City, none of them operate with as much dedication as you do. As long as you continue to run the hospital in this way, I will continue to cooperate with you.” Yang Ping saw his disappointment and worry.
Old Cheng felt a bit relieved, “Thank you for your praise. In that case, how about using the same cooperation model as with Yingge Hospital, where all the surgery fees are yours, and our hospital only earns from bed spaces, nursing and other peripheral fees?”

Old Cheng had adjusted his thinking, he was prepared for this. He had put together several ABCD plans and had several contracts prepared in his bag.
This scheme was good, it was a common model for international high-end private hospitals.
“That’s acceptable, I agree.” Yang Ping was straightforward and gave a brief reply.
Boss Cheng felt a bit relieved. This was a good solution. The surgery fee plus some other charges at Li Quan Hospital would amount to fifty to sixty thousand for each surgery, which would still bring in a considerable amount.
Professor Ye was at Yunjian, and if the dividends were also included, the average would be about the same.
“Shall we finalize this? A prompt decision is better than delaying. Should we sign a new contract immediately?” Old Cheng was afraid of any further delays.
“Alright!”
Old Cheng brought out the contract. Yang Ping read through it carefully. He was now capable of speed reading, browsing through the entire contract casually. Su Nanchen also took it over to help him review it once more.
Friendship stands aside while business is in place. Proper account settlement is needed between family, let alone between friends when it comes to business.
After checking, Su Nanchen handed the contract back to Yang Ping, indicating that he could sign it.
Su Nanchen saw that Yang Ping just glanced through the contract, and was worried that he would be taken advantage of. That’s why he took the contract to take another look. His future brother-in-law would be part of the family, and he certainly had to help when it mattered.
“Young Master Su, you can’t refuse these shares, otherwise my heart won’t take it.” Old Cheng joked.
Su Nanchen laughed, “Old Cheng, are you ready to take a big loss? Offering me twenty percent of the shares?”
“After so many years of dealings with me, do you think I’m crazy?” Old Cheng was serious.
The way Su Nanchen thought was different. He had faith in Old Cheng’s hospital and wanted to get involved, to build a hospital of his vision, together.
“In that case, I agree to this. To be honest with you, since you’re giving me such a big gift, I’ll need to talk to my father first about it. You don’t mind, do you?” Su Nanchen didn’t sign right away.
“I understand!” Old Cheng knew he wouldn’t sign immediately.
The position of the Su family was special. Su Nanchen needed to consider many aspects of such matters.
Although he did not achieve his goal in one step, Old Cheng was quite happy that he had accomplished half of it.
