Chapter 1142: 790 A Spark of Stars_2

But Mao Tu can hear it.

She should be much more reliable than the security outside.

The habitual drowsiness immediately vanished, and Mao Tu clenched her tiny fists, her eyes shining brightly like a rabbit’s, ready to head towards Jiang Chen.

For some reason.

She always felt like this guy deserved a beating.

Originally, she should have laid down to sleep.

At last, she found an opportunity.

Jiang Chen never judges a book by its cover; he knew full well that Cao Jinse’s seemingly harmless companion might have violent tendencies.

And he was quite clear about it.

In a one-on-one fight, he was certainly not her match.

He would need the Taoist nun sister’s help, only with her combined effort would it do.

He was responsible for mental support.

The Taoist nun sister was responsible for physical output.

But unfortunately, the Taoist nun sister wasn’t there.

Mao Tu grinned, baring her tiny, neat teeth, staring at Jiang Chen’s other eye with ill intent, as if to give him a taste of symmetrical aesthetics.

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Chen raised his hand.

But Mao Tu wasn’t about to give him any face, as if she couldn’t wait, her steps quickening even more.

It was Cao Jinse who grabbed her.

This rabbit feared neither heaven nor earth and was truly ready to strike.

"You’re quite well-informed, huh? You knew about it just after Fang Jun was taken away."

Cao Jinse put away her playful mood.

Mao Tu pouted regretfully, lowered her fists, and still somewhat unwillingly bared her teeth at Jiang Chen.

"Fang Jun was taken away?"

Jiang Chen was surprised.

He didn’t know about this; his visit to Jiuding wasn’t for this matter.

"You don’t know?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "Has the investigation result from the Hanlong Group come out?"

"It shouldn’t possibly be that quick, but there must have been significant progress, which is why Fang Jun has been arrested again."

In fact, both Cao Jinse and Jiang Chen knew full well why Fang Jun had been taken into custody a second time.

No matter how hard outsiders tried, some things can’t outweigh the outcome of a single dinner meeting.

This also explained.

That Young Master Fang, once again invited for a "tea session," might not be able to come out as easily as the last time.

"So, what are you looking for me for?"

If it wasn’t because of Fang Jun, why would this guy come running over early in the morning?

Of course, Cao Jinse couldn’t possibly be aware that she had become the target of a hunter.

"Now that Fang Jun has been captured, it’s time for us to talk about the matter I promised you."

Jiang Chen was serious, indeed a man of his word.

Cao Jinse tried not to look at his amusing panda eye, and her expression gradually became serious.

"Are you talking about Xinghuo?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

The reward of over three hundred billion had been received.

Now he was full of confidence.

Moreover.

After changing the binding target, investing in Xinghuo didn’t even require his own money!

Adopting a carefree attitude and thinking positively.

A starting favorability rating of 78 is too high.

He must work hard to make money before completing the task!

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of the unprecedented double cashback?

"Haven’t we already agreed on this before?"

Cao Jinse showed a puzzled look,

Indeed, the collaboration regarding Xinghuo had already been discussed between the two, but times have changed.

"I think our previous scope was too small."

Cao Jinse was taken aback and tried to laugh but didn’t, "Continue."

"The medical conditions in the Capital City are among the best in the country, and so is the economic level. This means that most of the poor and ordinary people are not here, yet they have to travel such a long way to get medical treatment. Most of Xinghuo’s patients are also from out of town..."

Cao Jinse caught a hint, "Are you saying the second Xinghuo should be opened in another city?"

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Not the second one, we could pick four cities based on the map, to bring convenience to people from north, south, east, and west as much as possible."

Cao Jinse was stunned.

Pick four cities?

This isn’t like opening a small shop.

How audacious is this?

"Are you sure?"

Cao Jinse was half in doubt.

Before, they had never discussed such an ambitious plan, both feeling that they should progress step by step.

"The second city I’ve thought of is River City, which is geographically advantageous and a transportation hub."

As a person from Sha City, Jiang Chen would certainly not forget the benefits brought by his hometown.

"What do you think?"

Let’s not talk about what he thinks for the moment.

Gazing at this guy, Cao Jinse realized he seemed to be serious.

"Have I told you how much it cost to start up the first Xinghuo Medical Center?"

"No more than 10 billion."

An average top-tier hospital, not accounting for subsequent expenses, would have an initial setup and operational cost ranging from about 3 to 4 billion.

But Xinghuo Medical Center is private in nature, naturally different, the expenses can only be greater.

And it’s not just one hospital; it also shoulders research and development functions.

Even purchasing medication, the cost differs from public hospitals.

And then there’s equipment.

Some large pieces of equipment could cost upwards of hundreds of millions; maintenance later on requires a significant amount of capital.

Hospitals, whose primary purpose is to treat the injured and save lives, have long since degraded into a form of business.

But this business is extremely treacherous.

Not for nothing do so many rich and influential tycoons dare not step into it.

If not for Cao Jinse’s background, even with the desire, Jiang Chen probably wouldn’t have had the chance, at least not in the short term.

Even Cao Jinse had to progress steadily and cautiously, as if on thin ice.

Observing his composed demeanor, Cao Jinse knew that for this guy, an investment of this level might be negligible; just in the fiercely competitive current food delivery wars, he had already invested the equivalent of several Xinghuos.

But.

This is not just a matter of money.

The hospital business, unlike other businesses.

Involves human lives!

"Staff? If you’re launching so many at once, where are you going to find enough medical personnel?"

"As long as the compensation and benefits are sufficient, why worry about a lack of people?"

This is an unshakeable truth.

Although the profession of a doctor is sacred, at its core, it’s also a job.

Since it’s a job, you have to consider the return on investment.

Moreover, if we put aside the benefits, what’s the difference for medical personnel to work in public or private hospitals if both involve treating patients and saving lives?

"I suggest you take this seriously. A hospital is different from other businesses; you can’t always think you can solve problems with money. If you keep this mindset, it may bring you a lot of trouble."

Cao Jinse warned solemnly.

She believed the other party had good intentions, but sometimes good intentions could lead to bad outcomes.

"I understand, that’s why I am investing and you are in charge of oversight."

Jiang Chen continued to detail his new plan, "Moreover, we can also collaborate with the Medical University to establish research institutes and build an internship system to shape the thinking and perceptions of new forces in the medical industry, fundamentally bringing medicine back to its essence of treating the sick."

These things certainly can’t be managed by just anyone.

Even Jiang Chen couldn’t manage them now; it had to be resolved by Cao Jinse.

That’s why often times, it doesn’t mean that the person who invests more money deserves greater credit.

Mao Tu yawned, feeling sleepy, these topics were generally beyond her comprehension and of no interest to her.

Cao Jinse leaned back and fell into contemplation without a word.

Jiang Chen didn’t rush her.

"...Control of Xinghuo must be in my hands."

After a while, she put forward her condition, devoid of her usual joking tone.

Healthcare concerns the weight of human lives; she couldn’t hand it over to him, or to anyone else behind him.

It’s not that she wasn’t willing to trust.

In her eyes, she had already regarded him as a friend.

But one must guard against others.

She would like to believe that he shared the same ideals as her, but human hearts are fickle.

In the final analysis.

It’s just that Jiang Chen’s "affluence" is too extraordinary.

There are so many capital magnates in the world, but up till now, Cao Jinse couldn’t find a second person like him.

"You sixty, I forty."

Jiang Chen replied without hesitation, with no intention to haggle.

Cao Jinse was taken aback by his straightforwardness.

"But I have one condition."

Jiang Chen added.

"What condition?"

"The name ’Xinghuo’ is good, but I think ’Starfire’ might sound even better."

Starfire.

Indeed, it carries more momentum and is more uplifting than Xinghuo.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Cao Jinse looked at him and nodded.

"Alright."
