Chapter 557
In view of the pursuit of these rich people, Gilbert Jr. and Jobs partnered to build a medical center in Sacramento, and the medical expenses were ridiculously high.
At the same time, little Gilbert also invited several disciples of Master Shikong to sit in the hall. Master Shikong has left the secular world, so the disciples are not sure.
One of them is named Yuan Neng, a middle-aged man in his forties. Master Shikong said that Yuan Neng can learn about 60% of his medical skills.
Unfortunately, his wish to be able to be a mortal was not lost. At the invitation of little Gilbert, he bid farewell to Master Shikong and came to a foreign country to become a doctor.
This medical center basically focuses on traditional Chinese medicine, supplemented by Western medicine. All the wards were booked by the rich on the day it opened.
The annual income from hospitalization fees alone for this medical center is as high as 50 to 60 million. Note that it’s just hospitalization expenses, as well as other medical expenses, medicine expenses, etc. It’s not a problem to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in total.
It can be seen from this that the medical industry is indeed a hugely profitable industry. In North America, medical capital is a capital comparable to military capital and Wall Street financial groups.
At first, the large medical capital giants did not pay much attention to this medical center, thinking that it was just a fun thing created by Jobs and Gilbert Jr.
But who knew this thing was really effective? Almost all the rich people ran to them.
Even many wealthy people in the medical capital go to this medical center for treatment. When they come back, they give a thumbs up to Ware Good and praise him for the very good results.
This immediately attracted the attention of large medical capital, and representatives of medical capital sent representatives to contact Jobs and Gilbert Jr.
When Jobs saw the representative's condescending look, he ordered the security guards to drive the representative away.
Jobs himself was extremely arrogant, and there were only a few people he could look up to, and little Gilbert was one of them. Of course Jobs was not happy that a bad representative was showing off in front of him.
Little Gilbert received the representative politely, but little Gilbert, who was good at Tai Chi, did not respond directly at all, which made the representative feel that his fists hitting cotton had no effect.
If the acquisition fails, then the medical center will be destroyed.
So several members of Congress funded by medical capital immediately requested Congress to issue a decree to close the medical center on the grounds of threatening national security.
Without any intervention from Gilbert Jr. or Jobs, those wealthy people who were hospitalized in medical centers or waiting for treatment immediately mobilized their sponsored members of Congress to stand up and refute.
To say that this medical center was established for the health and destiny of mankind is from the standpoint of all mankind.
The two sides disagree with each other, but the medical group also realizes that it is impossible to close this medical center.
So the medical group thought of two ways. The first way was the same as the big Internet companies, if I don't have it, I would poach people from you.
But the core of the medical group is a few disciples of Master Shikong, and Master Shikong also comes for treatment from time to time, so poaching a few insignificant people is not a big deal.
Another way is to go to China to find people. Master Shikong and his disciples are definitely not the only ones with superb medical skills, but there are others.
So a filter was broken in China. I used to think that Western medicine was more advanced than Chinese medicine, and that Chinese medicine was a medical technique that was eliminated. But this wave of Western medical capital coming to China to look for traditional Chinese medicine has shattered this concept.
Classic TCM medical books such as "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Compendium of Materia Medica", and "Huangdi Neijing" have also become must-read books for medical schools in major foreign hospitals.
More importantly, because of the popularity of traditional Chinese medicine in the West, traditional Chinese medicinal materials have attracted much attention, and China has another way to earn foreign exchange by exporting traditional Chinese medicinal materials.
Many economic and trade companies have made fortunes by exporting traditional Chinese medicine.
This series of changes was something little Gilbert did not expect.
No wonder in the Internet urban pretentious novels that were popular in the previous life, one of the necessary skills for the male protagonist is superb medical skills. It turns out that the author of the Internet article has understood the true meaning of the world very early.
It can be seen that life is important and people flock to it. If you can control the life and death of others, you will become the master of the world.
Because the Sacramento Medical Center performed well, Gilbert Jr. discussed with Jobs to continue building new medical centers in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and other places.
In the future, we plan to open to London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid and other cities. In order to live longer, the rich must be willing to do so. In order to keep the medical center, these rich people will be willing to be used by Gilbert and Jobs.
This is the golden body that little Gilbert cast for himself. From now on, no one else can do anything to him except by physical means.
Of course, the key figure in this is Master Shikong.
The master's eyes seemed to see through little Gilbert. He once said to little Gilbert: "Donor, I think you don't look like the people here."
Little Gilbert was stunned: " Master, tell me, where am I from?”
“I don’t know, I guess it’s the East.” Master Shikong had a hint: “Perhaps the donor was an Easterner in the previous life and reincarnated in this life. Here, but the soul is not destroyed.”
Master Shikong’s words shocked little Gilbert. He thought Master Shikong knew that he was reborn!
It is probably the specialness of little Gilbert that made Master Shikong look at him differently, so he was willing to help him, and even sent his disciples to be the sitting doctors.
Master Shikong also gave little Gilbert a picture with the words "The best is as good as water and everyone is around."
Little Gilbert didn't quite understand. This should be a Taoist classic. He guessed that Master Shikong asked him to do more good deeds to protect himself from worries.
And he has always done this, donating to various charitable foundations, but maybe this is not enough.
Little Gilbert has discussed with Naomi Watts to set up a charitable foundation when the time is right to do some real good deeds.
Another thing is still related to Steve Jobs, and that is Pixar Studio.
After a long tug of war, Disney finally reached an agreement with Pixar a few days ago, and Pixar will become a sub-studio of Disney.
Jobs also took this opportunity to join Disney's board of directors and became one of Disney's shareholders.
This acquisition caused a sensation in Hollywood, but not many people were surprised. Hollywood has anticipated this for a long time, and it was only a matter of time before Pixar joined Disney.
In addition, the investment activities of the Fruit Group, which companies it invested in, and which stocks it purchased, were all reported to little Gilbert one by one.
Companies such as Banana and Watermelon will send several quarterly reports to Little Gilbert to read, Amazon invites Little Gilbert to attend the shareholder meeting, and Tesla is experimenting with new cars leaving the factory.
Musk was building an aerospace technology company here and asked Gilbert Jr. if he was interested in starting it together.
After all the miscellaneous things were dealt with, it was already past one o'clock in the middle of the night.
At about six o'clock in the morning, little Gilbert had to get up again, have breakfast and start the day's shooting work.
Successful people always have certain qualities, one of which is energy. Bill Gates said that when he was young and just founded Microsoft, he only slept four or five hours a day, but he was full of energy.
Little Gilbert is the same. He can handle work with a full spirit every day.
Today is a little different. In the past, after Ivanka and I were busy with work, Ivanka would give little Gilbert a massage, or the two of them would have a massage.
When other women are away, Ivanka is the one closest to her.
But Ivanka went out to play, and little Gilbert stopped having a massage after finishing his work, and just wanted to rest.
Just at this time, the doorbell of his room rang.
“Who?”
"I am Emma..."
