Chapter 884: All things are difficult at the beginning, and I’m stuck here!

The excitement will eventually calm down.

After the grand opening ceremony, Nianwei Hospital began its daily operations.

Only after becoming my own boss did I realize that there are more things that require headaches than just managing thirty or forty people.

The most urgent issue that needs to be resolved now is the drug shortage caused by the surge in patients coming because of the advertising effect.

Chief Financial Officer Xu Ping had just finished reporting on this week's financial situation in the conference room when the atmosphere in the room became heavy.

Business is booming!

But it’s so hot!

As a result, many people would simply abandon large hospitals like the First Hospital and the People's Hospital of China and go to Nianwei Hospital for any illness that requires a CT scan.

Everyone felt that this way they didn't have to waste time transferring patients back and forth to other hospitals. The main reason was that the treatment effect was good, and there was a constant flow of patients. In addition, the social influence of the imaging building had been built up in the early stage, so the number of patients increased suddenly.

This has resulted in a massive shortage of medical equipment ranging from sutures for closing wounds to Qi-invigorating and blood-replenishing tablets that ultimately help produce blood.

If the medicine is not supplied within one or two days, there will be big problems.

It's not just a matter of the surgery being unable to proceed, but the entire hospital will be shut down!

"I suggest that the comrades in the procurement department first try to build relationships with the 301 procurement department and the logistics department and ask about their drug supply channels. If we can find them, that would be great. If not, we can think of a way to proceed to the next step! We have a good relationship with Dean Miao, so let's take this step first!"

Wang Defa, who was attending the meeting, did not have a joking look on his face. On the contrary, the idea he proposed at this time was quite constructive, and even Li Xiangnan could not help but nod.

"There is no shortage of Chinese medicine at the TCM department. If during the treatment, there are Chinese medicines here that can be substituted, use them first! Once the Western medicines come in, we can immediately provide supplementary treatment!"

Li Xiangnan confirmed this plan.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

This is also a good policy in times of emergency.

"Also! Before opening the business, I have already applied to the Ministry of Health for a drug application approval document, and it should be available soon! After the meeting, I will go there in person to urge them! We are old acquaintances, and they will not hold us back on this issue! It must be a procedural issue! Everyone, be patient!"

Li Xiangnan continued to comfort everyone: "Once the approval document comes, those pharmaceutical factories will not make things difficult for you comrades in the purchasing department! There is nothing we can do about it, just try to overcome it! For urgently needed drugs, you should call the corresponding factories immediately after the meeting and ask them to prepare the stocks first, and tell them that the comrades with the approval document are on the way! This matter cannot be delayed! Once the approval document comes, you should go to the pharmaceutical factory to purchase the stocks immediately, so that it will be seamless!"

"Yes!" The people in the purchasing department nodded immediately. They were very impressed by Li Xiangnan's clear thinking and they all wrote down this detail.

"Defa, talk to Brother Qi and Shuidong and the others, and try to calm the patient down! Don't do anything weird at this time! Of course, be careful about your attitude, after all, this is the hospital's problem!"

Li Xiangnan reminded again.

"I know!" Wang Defa took a pen and quickly wrote it down in his notebook, fearing that he would forget it.

"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting! Everyone go and do your own things. Chief Xu, please stay for a while!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand, asking everyone to leave, leaving only the Chief of Finance, Xu Ping, behind.

"Dean!"

Xu Ping probably guessed something and directly handed over the financial statements for that period.

"This week, the account book only showed a profit of more than 1,000 yuan. We will soon have to go out to buy medicines and supplies, and soon they will be gone again! Now we can only make money in one day and spend it the next day to maintain the balance of income and expenditure of the hospital!"

Li Xiangnan took out his passbook from his pocket and said, "Take out 10,000 yuan from here first, and let Section Chief Zheng go with you!"

"Dean, this... this is your own money. You just took it out without saying anything. This is just the beginning. What if later..."

Seeing that Li Xiangnan asked her to withdraw 10,000 yuan without any agreement, Xu Ping was really scared.

The first thought was how did Li Xiangnan get so much money? He could give it out whenever he wanted!

The second thought was that I couldn't bear it. I don't know how long the director had saved this money, but he took it out without hesitation when the hospital was in trouble. How could he have any savings!

The third thought is admiration.

The director is always so decisive in what he does. When the hospital encounters difficulties, he will find solutions without blinking an eye and always keep his word!

"In the first stage, don't think about making money, but go through the whole process smoothly! It would be best if there is a profit, but don't be discouraged if there is no profit! Our Nianwei Hospital will definitely not always be like this! It will definitely get better and better! Take it!"

Li Xiangnan stood up and stuffed the document into her hand, and emphasized: "Once the accounts are clear, there is no need for me to explain! Sister Xu, you have been in finance for fourteen years. I believe that our hospital's income and expenditure will be clear in the future!"

"Okay, Dean. Don't worry! I'll do it right away!"

Hearing these words, Xu Ping felt as if the dean understood her thoughts, and she immediately felt full of energy.

After she left, Li Xiangnan finished smoking a cigarette in the conference room, then stood up, picked up his coat, picked up his briefcase, went downstairs, got a bicycle from the carport downstairs, and rode directly to the Ministry of Health.

The matter of medication approval cannot be taken lightly.

It has been a week since the opening, and the application has been submitted to the Ministry of Health for almost ten days.

There must be something wrong!

Li Xiangnan originally thought that everyone in the Ministry of Health was his own person, and this approval process would definitely be the fastest!

But now, when he really needed the approval document, he found that it was not the case at all!

Without approval, those pharmaceutical companies will not release drugs to themselves.

The hospital that he had just contracted was about to be ruined in his hands!

Li Xiangnan thought about it over and over again, and thought about many difficulties that might be faced after contracting, but he never expected that he would get stuck at this critical juncture.

"Section Chief Huang!"

As soon as he entered the building of the Ministry of Health, Li Xiangnan saw Huang Ninglei walking out with a briefcase under his arm. Seeing that he was also carrying a suitcase, he asked in surprise, "Are you going on a business trip?"

"Yes! Shen Bu has already gone to Nangan. I will catch the train in an hour and I have to rush over too!"

Shen Qianzhong is not here?

Huang Ninglei is also going on a business trip?

Li Xiangnan's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

"Xiao Li, why are you here?" Huang Ninglei was a little surprised when he put down the box. He pulled him aside and said knowingly, "Are you okay?"

"It really does!"

Knowing that he was about to leave, Li Xiangnan hurriedly said, "Captain Huang, our hospital's drug approval document hasn't come down yet. I'm going to come over to ask about the situation! Without this approval document, the hospital can't get any drugs in!"

"Why haven't you come down yet?" Huang Ninglei was stunned, and he was also a little surprised. He thought about it, walked quickly to the communication room, made a phone call, and came back a few minutes later and said: "I have asked Chief Jiang of the Project Management Section, and now the procedures are with him. You can go directly! I have said hello!"

As he spoke, he looked at his watch and said apologetically, "Xiao Li, I have to hurry to the train station! Otherwise I will miss it!"

"Captain Huang, it's all thanks to you! Thank you so much!" Li Xiangnan said with gratitude.

"It's okay! What's there to thank me for?" Huang Ninglei smiled, picked up the box and left.

Li Xiangnan waved his hand and went to find the management department.

"Little Li!"

Unexpectedly, Huang Ninglei came back and called him.

"What's wrong, Team Yellow?"

"You take this!"

Huang Ninglei put down the box, took out a pen from his jacket pocket, and took out his notebook. He quickly wrote down a string of numbers and handed it over. "This is the front desk number of the hotel where Minister Shen and I are staying! If you have anything, remember to call! I'm really leaving this time!"

After saying this, he left in a hurry.

Li Xiangnan was inexplicably moved. He put the phone paper solemnly into his pocket and went upstairs.

After finding the management department and knocking on the door, he saw a man on the phone. He waved at him and signaled Li Xiangnan to wait a moment.

Li Xiangnan nodded, took a step back and returned to the corridor, waiting patiently.

A minute later, the man put down the phone, stood up and shouted with a smile: "You are Li Xiangnan, right? Section Chief Huang told me..."

"Hello, Chief Jiang, I'm Li Xiangnan, I..."

"Oh, just in time! Let's go," Chief Jiang looked at his watch, smiled, and put his arm around Li Xiangnan's shoulders, holding all the clothes and briefcase beside him, and walked out while saying, "There's a dinner party tonight, you can come with me!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangnan's brows immediately frowned.

He had a hunch that if he did not agree to attend the dinner tonight, then he would most likely not get the approval document!
