Chapter 467: Chapter 467
When Jiang Xiaoxiao arrived at the third floor operating room, she saw the full set of surgical equipment, all installed and ready, and was absolutely astonished.
How could she not know about these things? It’s not like you can just buy them if you have money.
Even if you have money, without the proper approvals, it’s difficult to acquire these—after all, these are medical instruments.
"How did you manage it? We don’t have enough money!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was aware that Song Moting only had a few tens of thousands of yuan on hand, and he had never asked her for a single cent.
These devices weren’t something you could just get for free.
"Honey, don’t worry, I’ll work hard to earn money in the future. I will definitely help you realize this dream, but the hospital indeed lacks funds for certain equipment. I estimate that the few tens of thousands we have won’t be enough.
If necessary, I’ll consider the future funding; we might have to mortgage this house for a loan. But my biggest worry is that the hospital’s qualifications might be hard to obtain.
Anyway, once we finish visiting Mr. Wang’s place today, we can go back and talk to Grandma. We should discuss this matter carefully with her. I trust that Grandpa and Grandma’s love for you is unquestionable and they will absolutely . They’ll be our safeguard."
Song Moting had thought it all through.
Depending on the two of them to earn enough to set up this hospital seemed impossible.
The money needed for this hospital was not a small amount; just one piece of equipment could cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
Seven or eight years and hundreds of thousands of funding equate to an enormous figure.
Not to mention, the hospital hasn’t even hired people or brought in medicines.
If all of these are accounted for, the needed funds would definitely be a distressingly large number.
Jiang Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Don’t worry, I’ve already thought it over, we don’t need to make this hospital too big right away. To begin, we can just focus on simple departments, like gynecology and pediatrics, treating only minor illnesses. For major illnesses, we should advise people to go to big hospitals; this way we can reduce the need for equipment, and certain equipment can temporarily be unnecessary.
I almost forgot to tell you, Mr. Ning has agreed to three pieces of equipment to me, and these three machines are top-notch. The pressure on funding can be lessened quite a bit. If we get a loan and then invest in some simpler instruments, medicines, and personnel, I estimate we can manage it."
Jiang Xiaoxiao only had about a hundred thousand yuan in hand, and she felt she’s been lazy recently, and should start working hard to earn money.
Otherwise, the money at hand is like a drop in the bucket.
When Old Jiang and Fan Xiuying heard how their daughter and son-in-law were spending so much money, they were worried.
Every time they speak, it’s tens or hundreds of thousands; they were concerned.
Their daughter and son-in-law were university students without wages, though the state subsidizes their living and tuition expenses.
The issue is, the money needed for opening a hospital couldn’t possibly be saved from the little amount they receive.
Even if they wanted to help their daughter and son-in-law, the little bit they had couldn’t even make a dent.
"Old Jiang, Old Jiang, hurry, several trucks have arrived downstairs, loaded with stuff. They say they’re unloading, and I have no clue what’s going on; you need to come down quickly."
Mr. Wang came running, panting heavily, unwilling to use the elevator for fear of wasting electricity.
A few steps weren’t worth using the elevator.
Old Jiang glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Is this stuff you ordered?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, no.
Song Moting also shook his head, "I’ve arranged things with others, everything’s been delivered now, and I’ve checked everything over, nothing’s missing."
Jiang Xiaoxiao guessed it was likely Mr. Ning.
Otherwise, no one else knew about her plan to open a hospital.
This hospital was just recently remodeled, and it’s been over three months since the renovation started.
Jiang Xiaoxiao could only guess it was Mr. Ning because only Ningshan had agreed to send her three pieces of equipment, and no one else had that capability.
A few people went downstairs together.
When they saw the massive convoy, Jiang Xiaoxiao was shocked; it wasn’t just a few trucks.
Clearly parked outside were over a dozen large trucks, and at least fifty or sixty workers were getting off them.
They were definitely professionals, with very complete equipment including small cranes, starters, and carts for moving the goods.
The leader, seemingly the foreman, carrying several thick stacks of documents walked straight up to them, and when he saw the heavily pregnant Jiang Xiaoxiao, he approached directly.
"You must be Dr. Jiang Xiaoxiao, right? Hello, please sign this receipt. All the items listed here will be tested and installed by us, and everything will be set up fully. If you encounter any problems later, give us a call anytime, and we’ll be ready to assist.
We will ensure that you experience no faults in your subsequent use."
Jiang Xiaoxiao took the receipt and was startled.
She had planned to open a hospital, but she knew the funds needed were enormous.
If she wanted to start big, she didn’t have that capability.
Even though she’d been a doctor her whole life, she didn’t have the knack for earning money.
She was good at surgery, but far from good at business; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so clueless.
Recently she’d been pondering how to use the peaches from her space, how to best utilize the land there to earn as much money as possible.
To maximize having money flow into her hands quickly, so the hospital’s development could proceed.
But before she could figure something out, someone unexpectedly delivered a full set of hospital equipment to her.
This was a complete set of hospital equipment, essentially everything needed for any department in a hospital was listed on this sheet, including medicines needed and even office furniture, canteen equipment, let alone all sorts of equipment and instruments needed for surgery.
Not only was it the most advanced, it was the best.
Holding this receipt, she felt the weight; this wasn’t a trivial sum of money.
"Wait a minute, who sent you to make this delivery?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t believe she had such strong backing?
She wanted to latch onto a big shot, but she had to know who the big shot was.
To give thanks, she had to know who to thank.
"You don’t know? I’m sorry, we’re just responsible for installation and delivery. We don’t know anything beyond that. If you want to know who ordered this batch, you have to contact our leader; we as workers wouldn’t know."
The leader was baffled, too.
The recipient didn’t even know who sent the package; this was the first time they encountered this situation.
Was this someone doing a good deed without leaving their name?
The problem is, these things are worth quite a lot.
Jiang Xiaoxiao handed the receipt to Song Moting.
Song Moting was puzzled too.
