Chapter 564: Chapter 0566: Name Your Price

Zhang Chenggong cleared his throat lightly. It wasn’t that he was embarrassed, he was nervous.

Seeing Zhang Chenggong unable to utter a word for a long while, Ouyang Die, also anxious, said, "Uncle Zhang, there’s nothing to it, you can just speak up."

Zhang Chenggong didn’t want to appear so timid either. After all, he was more than a decade older than Chu Ge, but for some reason, he always felt that today, seeing Chu Ge, his aura seemed different.

His presence was so strong that it made him feel like each word he spoke needed to be carefully considered.

Chu Ge looked at Zhang Chenggong with an indifferent expression, "Doctor Zhang, there’s nothing to be taboo about, just speak your mind boldly."

Chu Ge guessed inwardly what Zhang Chenggong could possibly want from him.

But no matter how much he thought, it always revolved around medical topics.

Could it be that he wanted his help to treat patients? If that were the case, Zhang Chenggong wouldn’t find it so hard to speak.

Since Chu Ge could not guess, he didn’t try further, but curiously watched Zhang Chenggong, as if waiting for him to speak.

Zhang Chenggong took a deep breath. He pinched his thigh hard, the piercing pain quickly spreading. He winced from the pain but it helped him to finally reveal his intended purpose to Chu Ge.

"I’d like to invite Mr. Chu to be the director of Renxing Hospital."

After Zhang Chenggong finished speaking, it seemed like some worry had been lifted, and the weight he felt was slightly alleviated.

He nervously watched Chu Ge, afraid that his first response would be a rejection.

Chu Ge was also somewhat surprised, looking puzzled at Zhang Chenggong, "You want me to be the director of your hospital?"

Zhang Chenggong nodded.

This was indeed beyond Chu Ge’s expectation.

"Why suddenly think of me for your director?" Chu Ge asked curiously, wondering what had prompted Zhang Chenggong’s idea.

He vaguely remembered that Renxing Hospital was a private enterprise, owned by Zhang Chenggong himself.

He was inviting him to be the director...

Chu Ge stroked his chin thoughtfully. Running a hospital, huh?

"I have witnessed Mr. Chu’s medical skills, exceptional and high. Many medical cases that are challenging for others turn fortunate in Mr. Chu’s hands, that’s why I thought of inviting you to be our director."

Chu Ge smiled slightly. If it were about asking for help, he might agree, but being a director...

Chu Ge gently shook his head.

Zhang Chenggong felt a sinking feeling inside, like he had been hit hard, dizzy.

Chu Ge had refused... but it was expected.

What kind of person was Chu Ge, how could he willingly humble himself under others? Ah, it was his foolish wishful thinking.

Zhang Chenggong sighed inwardly, his face unable to hide his disappointment.

Seeing this, Ouyang Die, somewhat reluctantly, asked, "Mr. Chu, is there really no room for negotiation? Regarding the terms, you can name your price."

Chu Ge shook his head again, "My shaking my head doesn’t mean I’m refusing, but I have my own thoughts."

Hearts filled with hope again, Zhang Chenggong looked at Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, what are your thoughts?"

Chu Ge crossed his long legs, his beautiful fingers gently tapping on the table. After a moment of consideration, he spoke, "I’ll buy Renxing Hospital."

Zhang Chenggong was stunned. He looked at Chu Ge incredulously, "You said you want to buy Renxing Hospital?"

Renxing Hospital was his life’s work; to talk about buying it so directly, he couldn’t bear it for a moment.

So Zhang Chenggong was silent.

Chu Ge also knew, to have him sell Renxing Hospital directly, Zhang Chenggong would definitely find it unbearable.

So he thought of a compromise.

"Doctor Zhang, your Renxing Hospital is a private entity, founded entirely by you, there must be investments involved, right?"

Zhang Chenggong nodded, naturally. Their hospital wasn’t small and even had a board of directors.

Chu Ge smiled and said, "I know it’s hard for you to let go of your hospital, how about this: I invest in your hospital and buy a portion of your shares, how about it?"

Zhang Chenggong seemed to understand Chu Ge’s intention, "You mean you want to join our hospital as a shareholder?"

Chu Ge nodded, "That’s one way to put it, but I have one condition."

The reluctance in Zhang Chenggong’s heart had already disappeared. Chu Ge’s investment was exactly what he sought.

"Mr. Chu, please say."

"I won’t be treating every day. Only for patients that you can’t manage, will I come out to treat them."

Considering long-term, having a hospital was a good choice, but he couldn’t possibly spend every day in the hospital. Yet, as a part of Renxing, he couldn’t just ignore it.

So, that was his idea.

Actually, Zhang Chenggong had the same thought; he invited Chu Ge precisely to have him stationed there.

Ouyang Die, who was present, admired Chu Ge’s business acumen.

Investment and acquisition are different. Acquisition means one company obtaining control of another through property transfer to achieve certain economic goals.

Regarding investment, it means providing financial support to the invested company without involving in its management.

Investment was suitable for Chu Ge.

Zhang Chenggong also felt this was a very good idea, scratching his head embarrassingly, wondering why he hadn’t thought of this before.

"Alright! Let’s settle on this!" Zhang Chenggong said a bit excited.

Chu Ge also nodded with a smile, "I will not take the position of director, just appoint someone nominally in the hospital, no need to arrange anything special for me."

Zhang Chenggong nodded in agreement.

Once again feeling somewhat embarrassed, Zhang Chenggong laughed and asked, "May I know how much Mr. Chu plans to invest?"

Chu Ge thought for a moment. Since he wanted to invest, he had to go for the biggest piece. After pondering for a while, he asked, "Who is the current largest shareholder and how many shares do they hold?"

Zhang Chenggong cleared his throat and pointed to his nose, "It’s me. I hold forty-six percent of the shares."

"What about the second largest?"

Zhang Chenggong’s smile widened, "The second largest shareholder holds only twelve percent."

In the hospital, he held the majority of the shares; others held up to twelve percent at most and six percent at least.

Chu Ge’s contemplative gaze fell on Zhang Chenggong, his deep black pupils profound.

Zhang Chenggong had an ominous premonition.

Then, he heard Chu Ge say, "Buying twenty-six percent of the shares from you, how much would it cost? Name a price."

Zhang Chenggong was stunned. Even if it was an investment, he aimed to be the largest investor, and even if he wanted to be on the board, he sought to be the largest shareholder.

That was Chu Ge, always striving to be the best in everything.

Zhang Chenggong wasn’t heartbroken over their shares, although it looked insignificant, the hospital was highly profitable.

He rubbed his hands, "Mr. Chu, are you sure about this? This twenty-six percent is not a small amount of money."

Chu Ge nodded, "Name a price."
