Chapter 270

Watching Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng's performance, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Awesome!

Able to bend and stretch, he's a tough guy!

"Everyone!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu spoke slowly, his voice revealing an unquestionable tone.

"From today on, I will be in charge of Mingxin Hospital."

"If you are willing to follow me, I welcome you; if you are not willing, sell your shares to me and get out of Mingxin Hospital."

As Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's words fell, the shareholders in the room were all so angry they were bristling.

But they were powerless to do anything.

"Fine, I'll sell!"

Following the first shareholder's surrender, the others followed suit.

"I'll sell too."

Now they had no choice but to sell, because Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu already had enough power to reform Mingxin Hospital, using most of the profits to offset medical expenses, purchase equipment, and pay salaries.

With just a little maneuvering, the profits of Mingxin Hospital would become zero.

If they didn't sell, these shares would just be dead weight in their hands.

"I welcome everyone to sell your shares... however, everyone knows I don't have the cash on hand right now, so please allow me to pay in installments..."

With one sentence, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu made the shareholders' lungs explode with anger again!

"This is too much!"

"Forcing us to sell our shares isn't enough, and you want to pay in installments?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu spread his hands: "It's fine if you don't sell. After all, this is a charity hospital, and it's also a way for you to accumulate merit, isn't it?"

The shareholders: "............"

They almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

Having settled the matter with the shareholders, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was now officially the big boss of Mingxin Hospital, running it as a one-man show.

He then began to lead the finance and department talents he had pulled from other companies to sort out the hospital's reform plan.

In the evening, he returned to Causeway Bay.

Fang Ting, who was beside him, asked: "Brother Zu, should we invite some reporters tomorrow and hold a press conference?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Naturally. I'm not a fool who does good deeds without leaving a name~~"

The system settlement hadn't appeared yet,

and he suspected it wouldn't appear until after the press conference.

Evening, 19:00,

The Peninsula Hotel, Western restaurant private room.

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan..."

"Mr. Ni..." (This character has a prototype, surnamed Li)

The two sides shook hands and exchanged hypocritical pleasantries.

And Ni Ming's sexy secretary, who was foaming at the mouth like a clam... no, wait, she also wanted to shake hands with Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, but Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu avoided it.

The secretary's face turned pale and then blue.

After three rounds of drinks, Ni Ming began to discuss the purpose of inviting Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu to dinner.

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, there are a little over 3 months left until the Legislative Council election..."

"I won't beat around the bush. I hope Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan can support our Republican Party."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu smiled: "It seems Mr. Ni has realized my voting power."

Ni Ming: "Yes, so I invited Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan out today to see what Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan needs."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "I'm curious what conditions you can offer."

Ni Ming said seriously: "Our Republican Party covers all the major figures in Hong Kong's legal, business, and political circles. Our network of relationships is vast. If you help us this time, you can also use our network in the future to further expand."

"Choosing to walk with us is choosing the shortcut to the peak."

After speaking, he looked at Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu held his teacup, wearing a half-smile.

"Mr. Ni, is this your sincerity?"

"You already said this last time, and you're saying it again now?"

"You want me to support you with just empty words and the so-called 'friendship'?"

"Do you take me for a sucker?"

Ni Ming: "............"

He didn't expect Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu to be so hard to fool.

However, he wasn't disappointed, as Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was someone who could go toe-to-toe with Mr. Li.

Ni Ming: "Of course, these are just the basic conditions. Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan can propose other conditions; as long as it's within our power, we will definitely help."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't lack anything at the moment, nor do I need your help. If you can't find something that moves me, it's hard for me to support you."

"If there is something that moves me, perhaps it's money..."

"After our charity company bought Mingxin Hospital, there's a gap of over 1 billion. If you can donate a few hundred million to the charity foundation to help me fill part of it, I can consider helping you."

A few hundred million?

Ni Ming's eyes popped out.

If I had a few hundred million, why the hell would I be running the Republican Party?

Of course, there were many wealthy businessmen within the Republican Party, but if he asked them to take out a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars, they would probably defect on the spot.

Ni Ming said with a serious face: "Please don't make such jokes, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu played with his teacup and chuckled: "I'm not joking."

The first invitation ended on a sour note.

A new day,

May 28th, the sun was shining brightly.

Today could be considered a very important day for Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.

In the morning,

Mingxin Hospital,

Conference Hall. It was packed with reporters from TVB, ATV, and all the major and minor newspapers in Hong Kong, dozens of them, heads bobbing.

10:00,

The press conference officially began.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, as the new helmsman of the hospital, dressed in a well-fitting suit, stood with the poise of a mountain and entered the center of the conference room.

Click, click, click~~~~

At this moment, countless rolls of film were wasted.

"Good morning, media friends!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's voice was clear and powerful, piercing through the noise of the scene.

"Thank you very much for coming to the Mingxin Hospital press conference today."

"I am very happy to announce that the Five-Star Group and the Five-Star Charity Foundation have now acquired 100% of the shares of Mingxin Hospital."

"And I will fulfill my promise: starting today, Mingxin Hospital is officially reformed into a charity hospital. All profits will be used for hospital operations and charitable medical care. The Five-Star Group will absolutely not take a single cent from it."

"In addition, we will learn from the successful charitable experience of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. First, we will establish the 'Mingxin Charity Fund' to subsidize poor and emergency patients. Second, we will reach out to the community to serve the public. Finally, the hospital will provide 20%, or 100 free beds, to the impoverished."

"Finally, I solemnly express my gratitude to all the donors for this cause. At the same time, I will fulfill my promise: every donor's donation amount can be used to deduct medical expenses."

Having said this, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu paused, then said in a resonant and powerful voice:

"I look forward to the future Mingxin Hospital becoming a beacon of hope in the hearts of countless people, just like the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals!"

"I look forward to it being able to provide comfort and strength to patients, becoming a harbor for them!"

As his voice fell,

Clapping~~~

The reporters in the audience applauded one after another, the applause like thunder.

"Good!"

Cries of "Bravo!" rang out continuously.

Regardless of any other motives, the fact that Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu could turn a hospital into a non-profit charity hospital was a great deed.

It was worth their applause!

It was worth them cheering loudly!

Next was the reporter interview session, and the reporters raised their hands to ask questions one after another.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu answered them patiently one by one.

When the press conference ended, thunderous applause erupted at the scene.

At noon,

TVB and ATV both reported on this press conference.

"This morning, Mingxin Hospital ushered in a historic moment. The new helmsman, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, announced... the full acquisition of Mingxin Hospital... and its reform into a charity hospital..."

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu promised that all profits will be... this move won thunderous applause from all the reporters present..."

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu further clearly stated that he will emulate the successful model of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals..."

"The response from the reporters on the scene was enthusiastic, with thunderous applause..."

On the ATV news side,

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu has always been committed to charity. This acquisition of Mingxin Hospital exceeded 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu is actually using it all for charity!"

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu can truly be called—a great philanthropist!"

Following the broadcast of the news,

From the bustling Harbour City shopping center in Tsim Sha Tsui to the lively Times Square in Causeway Bay; from the prosperous streets of Sheung Wan and Central to the bustling alleys of Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei...

In the malls of Tsim Sha Tsui, shoppers gathered to discuss it; in the small restaurants of North Point, diners chatted while eating; in the office buildings of Sheung Wan, white-collar workers praised Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's good deeds endlessly...

Citizens were moved one after another.

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu is truly a great person. 1.5 billion all for charity, it's just so moving!"

"Mingxin Hospital has turned into a charity hospital. Applause for Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu!"

"I hope Mingxin Hospital can truly help those in need and become a light in their lives."

"Compare this to Mr. Li's 18.6; shouldn't Mr. Li be ashamed to the point of suicide?"

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan is actually willing to give up 1.5 billion to do such a big thing; it's truly admirable!"

"The second Tung Wah Group of Hospitals!"

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, well done!"......

"Bold enough! Courageous enough!"

On the side of the tycoon Mr. Li,

watching Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's standing figure at the press conference on TV, he couldn't help but sigh.

He originally thought Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was just talking, but he didn't expect him to be playing for real.

1.5 billion!

If Mr. Li hadn't miscalculated, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's total assets wouldn't exceed 2 billion.

He took 1.5 billion directly to do charity.

A ratio of 75%!

Outrageous!

!.

"Although we are rivals, this point of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's is truly worthy of respect!"

Thinking of this, Mr. Li couldn't help but call his second son: "Watch the TV news, look at the courage of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, you should learn from him!"

The second son: "???"

Me?

Learn from Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu?

He hurriedly turned on the TV news, and after learning the details,

he was dumbfounded!

No, others use spare change for charity, you're using your life for charity?

You crazy man!

Another of the Four Great Families,

Tycoon Li Ji was also watching this news at his company.

Shocked, confused,

"No, you're playing for real!"

"You actually used so much money for charity."

"Are young people today this trendy?"

"Or is this a new business war model?"

China Resources Group.

Mr. Zhu was also watching the news, shocked inside.

"I have been harboring doubts, but I didn't expect you to be for real!"

"That's 1.5 billion!"

He had never seen anyone do charity to this extent.

Very impressed!

"Since that's the case, I'll give you a hand!"

Mao Mao Xiang Yang,

was currently at his place of residence.

The TV was on, and the news was playing.

A flame burned in Mao Mao Xiang Yang's chest.

His hands were itching!

He took out a piece of letter paper and began to write furiously.

...... Causeway Bay, Central and Western District,

if you ask who is the happiest in Hong Kong, it's naturally the neighbors in these two districts.

"Well done!"

"I knew Brother Zu wouldn't let us down!"

"Brother Zu doing charity is really handsome!"

"Brother Zu is my idol!"

"Mindlessly supporting all of Brother Zu's future decisions!"

"Through fire and water!"

Countless people cheered and celebrated.

Of course, there were also some silly ones.

"This won't do, Brother Zu opened a hospital, I have to go and boost Brother Zu's business."

"I happen to have a bit of a cold, I'll go to Mingxin Hospital to see a doctor."

"Let's go, let's go boost Brother Zu's business!"

"Right, boost the business!"

"Go, go, go!"

This spread from ten to a hundred, and soon it spread throughout the two districts.

It then led many silly, spirited young men to run to Mingxin Hospital to see a doctor for minor ailments like colds or scrapes.

And at this time,

Mingxin Hospital, Chairman's office.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu sat in the office chair, listening to Fang Ting's report.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, he finally waited for the long-overdue system notification.

"You have completed the acquisition of a hospital and insisted on reforming it into a charity hospital; this is a great deed."

"You have received the following rewards:"

"Reward 1: You spent a total of 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars to fully acquire this hospital. Kindness will not be betrayed; the system will return it 1:1. Since the amount of 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars is too large, it will be returned over the next 6 months through the profits of your 'Five-Star Suits' and 'Five-Star Supermarkets'..."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "??"

This was the first time he had seen this form of cashback.

Ring, ring, ring~~~~

Just then, Gao Jin's phone rang.

"Brother Zu, I just received a call. There is a clothing wholesaler in Southeast Asia who said they really like the suits we showed in the movie 'New World' and want to act as our agent to sell our suits to Southeast Asia."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "???"

Is this the system's way of returning the money?

"Good, you go and negotiate. Pay attention to verifying the other party's strength and reputation."

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone,

he continued to look at the system rewards.

"Reward 2: You have gained +10% support rate in the Hong Kong Island district (total 24%), and +5% support rate in Hong Kong Island (total 14%)!"

Support rate list drop-down:

Wan Chai District support rate——(+10%) 55%!

Causeway Bay support rate——(+10%) 87%!

Central and Western District support rate——(+10%) 36%!

Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon City District support rate——(+5%) 50%, 49%!

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was pleasantly surprised!

This was the highest support rate reward he had ever received!

It directly saved him at least three months of effort!

And at this time,

the system rewards weren't over yet!

"Reward 3: 'Medical Aura' - doctor and nurse experience accumulation bonus +20%, patient condition improvement +20%. Every patient and family member who sees a doctor at the hospital will become your supporter (Effect: faster support rate growth)..."

Awesome!!

Every attribute was heaven-defying.

This 'Medical Aura' was exactly what Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu wanted most!

The orphanage and school had the "Talent Cradle Aura," and sure enough, the hospital also had an aura attribute; it was really given!

With it, Mingxin Hospital had the core thing it needed, and the possibility of surpassing the behemoth "Tung Wah Group of Hospitals" was greatly increased!

"Reward 4: You have obtained '1991 Legislative Council Direct Election Candidate Qualification' *1"

That's all of them!

There were originally 5 in total.

Now with this one, there were 6 in total.

Enough for three constituencies and 6 spots.

"Hahaha~~"

"Very good!"

"All the rewards are what I like!"

Just then,

Wu Wu Lianqian knocked on the door and walked in.

"Brother Zu, something happened. Too many patients came to Mingxin Hospital all at once, and it's crowded."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "What do you mean?"

Wu Wu Lianqian's mouth twitched: "Brother Zu, you should go and see for yourself?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, with a strange feeling, came to the outpatient department.

And was startled by the people outside.

So many, many people!

A sea of people!

They blocked the hospital from the outpatient clinic to the main gate and outside the gate, completely jammed.

"What's going on?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was shocked.

Are they here for a protest or something?

As it turned out...

When those 'patients' saw Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu appear, they shouted loudly:

"Brother Zu!"

"Brother Zu!" *100

"Brother Zu!" *1000

That sound was like a mountain collapse or a tsunami, almost scaring many patients to death.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu hurriedly pressed his hands down:

"Shut up, this is a hospital!"

"What are you doing here? You don't look sick either!"

The 'patients' shouted one after another:

"Brother Zu, we were afraid the hospital would be too deserted."

"We are here to boost the hospital's business."

"?!!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu suddenly felt his vision go black.

His cerebellum had atrophied!

Boosting business, my foot; I'm not the Dragon King returning!
