Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 574 - 335: Setting up a Hospital_2

"However, there’s a reason I’ve taken a position at the company. Coming up, our group will be establishing another subsidiary, and when the time comes, a batch of people will be transferred there. Everyone here could potentially be selected, so you should be prepared," Ye Feng said before sitting down.

The managers of various departments couldn’t help but exchange glances. Ye Feng’s words carried a lot of information.

As for those in lower positions, such as department heads, deputy heads, and even mid-level managers, the gleam in their eyes revealed their excitement.

According to company regulations, if someone were to parachute directly from the head office to a subsidiary, then a promotion and a pay raise were almost certain!

Immediately, a deputy head raised his hand and asked, "President Ye, may I ask which industry the new subsidiary we’re setting up is involved in?"

"The medical industry. In fact, the business operation of the subsidiary will essentially be a hospital," Ye Feng answered.

This hospital was something he was preparing for the World Tree Body; after having insights into the Life Rule, there was nothing better than establishing a hospital to verify his findings.

Many department managers in the room had been deeply interested upon hearing Ye Feng talk about establishing a new company.

But upon learning that the new establishment would actually be a hospital, many eager mid-level managers were instantly discouraged.

In the past, hospitals were indeed very profitable, but now it was different.

Especially since the Cultivation Technique has become widespread, and even ordinary people have slowly started practicing, this means that in the future, even the physical fitness of ordinary people would be greatly enhanced, and 99 percent of diseases would disappear.

Of course, due to battles, there would definitely be injuries, but the Life Liquid produced by Mad Dragon Pharmaceuticals could cover that market.

Therefore, those who would eventually go to the hospital could generally be expected to be people with complicated and difficult diseases and those infected with super bacteria or viruses.

Hence, no matter what, the medical market would continue to shrink; many private hospitals were already transforming, and capital was also withdrawing from the scene.

Yet under these circumstances, Ye Feng was entering the medical market. If he hadn’t just been appointed as the general manager, and had Chen Dalong’s unwavering support, it’s likely many would ridicule him.

Ye Feng saw everyone’s reaction, but he didn’t care whether he would lose money or not.

His main purpose was simply to accelerate the speed at which he understood the Life Rule.

Besides, he didn’t believe he would lose money.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Ye Feng turned his gaze to Chen Dalong and said, "Old Chen, you handle the next meeting! I will just sit in and listen."

"Alright!" Chen Dalong nodded and then asked each department and subsidiary to start reporting on their progress over the period.

Actually, Chen Dalong had already looked over the reports of various departments in advance. Now, having these people report was essentially presenting to Ye Feng.

However, once Ye Feng sat down, he fell into contemplation; in truth, he was once again reflecting on the Life Rule. He had no interest in listening to these business matters.

Seeing that Ye Feng seemed uninterested, Chen Dalong immediately sped up the meeting. In just half an hour, the gathering concluded.

After the meeting, Chen Dalong immediately ushered everyone out.

"Divine Envoy Ye Feng, may I ask if there’s anything else that needs arranging on my side?" Chen Dalong respectfully inquired after the conference room was cleared.

Ye Feng shook his head, "There’s nothing else. However, when will you be able to set up the hospital I need? In the first phase, I just need a small clinic. That should be quick, right?"

Chen Dalong immediately replied, "When you assigned me the task this morning, I arranged it right away."

"Over in Sunset Town, there was a building that was originally intended for the Sunset Inn. I had it reallocated and contacted three construction teams to go and refurbish it."

"If your requirements are not too high, it should be completed by this evening."

Ye Feng was slightly surprised by this efficiency upon hearing the response.

"That’s good, but concerning the staff, we need professional doctors and nurses as well. How is the arrangement coming along?" Ye Feng asked.

He himself didn’t know much about medical matters, and for some complicated and strange diseases, Ye Feng was not sure if the Life Rule could cure them; these things needed his gradual exploration. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Therefore, professional doctors and nurses were essential, as it was also a matter of responsibility towards the patients.

"You can rest assured about that. I’ve already dispatched a professional team to acquire a well-known private hospital in Yonghe City,"

"If needed, I can call in the doctors and nurses from there at any time. I believe they would also be willing to settle down here," Chen Dalong replied.

With this response, Ye Feng was truly satisfied.

"Well done. In that case, I hope the hospital can be up and running by this evening. Is this possible?" Ye Feng said.

Chen Dalong was somewhat surprised, as he hadn’t expected Ye Feng to be in such a rush, but still he nodded immediately and said, "No problem. I’ll send a military helicopter to pick them up right now, and guarantee that the hospital can open its doors by 6 PM."

After returning from the Land of Inheritance, Chen Dalong had made significant contributions and, having become the strongest human, he was promoted again, now holding the rank of Honorary Colonel.

Not just in rank, but many privileges had been granted to him, such as the authority to purchase heavy weaponry.

Thus, Mad Dragon Security Company now boasted 3 armed helicopters, 10 main battle tanks, and 30 armored vehicles.

Such equipment was beyond the wildest dreams of other security companies.

...

At 5:30 PM, the main street of Sunset Town was crowded with people.

More accurately, these people were all gathered in front of one of the buildings, to the point where it almost blocked the main street.

"I’ve been watching here almost the whole day, thinking they were urgently constructing something, but it turns out to be a clinic. I wonder if the person behind this is just loaded with cash and bored," a middle-aged man muttered.

The old man beside him immediately retorted, "I think it’s nice to have a clinic! Sunset Town really lacks this kind of infrastructure."

The middle-aged man, who had just spoken and now saw someone argue against him, immediately became displeased, "That’s true, but did he have to be in such a hurry? Look at how crowded the workers inside are; that must cost a fortune!"

"Besides, now that everyone is starting to practice Cultivation Methods, and once they become Evolutionists, with improved physical fitness, minor ailments like colds will pretty much disappear. What will he earn money from then?"

The old man huffed and puffed with indignance, "I don’t see it that way. Becoming an Evolutionist only strengthens your physical fitness, it doesn’t make you immune to all diseases. You can still get sick, and it could be serious. How can you say that hospitals aren’t needed?"

"Moreover, experts on the internet have said that for people with poor Talent, even if they have a Cultivation Technique, it might take a month or two to become an Evolutionist. What if they get sick during that time?"

The squabble between the middle-aged man and the old man was just a microcosm of the many spectators.

The crowd’s attitude was basically divided into two types: those who came to enjoy a spectacle and those who were supportive.

Of course, no matter what thoughts these onlookers held, it didn’t affect the speed of the construction here.

The construction was officially completed at 5:30 PM, and then immediately a team brought in the medical equipment, which had already been transported by special vehicle, into the building.

While they were installing the equipment, they also cleaned the place.

At the same time, more than a dozen doctors and nurses arrived at the clinic.

Everything was executed with incredible efficiency, and finally, when it was exactly 6 PM, the doors of the clinic opened.

At the entrance, the words "Sunset Hospital" shone brightly.

Simultaneously, baskets of flowers were placed at the entrance to celebrate the grand opening.
