As Qin Lin listened to Shen Li’s report, he picked up the plan document and looked at it.
The plan document was neatly written and very detailed. It had even been planned for the sale of the new watermelon.
This professional top talent was indeed different. If he had to do it himself, he would definitely take it one step at a time and explore it slowly.
There was no problem with the proposal. Qin Lin signed it and handed it back to Shen Li.
After Shen Li took the document, he took it and began to talk to Li Kai. They were probably asking Li Kai some questions about the watermelon promotion planting and how to deal with it.
After the two of them finished talking, Shen Li said to Qin Lin, “President Qin, you still need to give me a batch of seeds first. The specific geology and environment of the towns in Youcheng County are also different. When I cooperate with Youcheng County, I need to try planting to check the situation first before planting them.”
Almost all the seeds that had been cultivated previously had been planted in the 100 acres of land, but he had also kept some for emergencies. He did not expect to really use them.
He handed those seeds to Shen Li before he left in a hurry.
Li Kai praised, “Brother Qin, President Shen is very capable. The questions he discussed with me are also on point.”
Qin Lin smiled and nodded.
As they were chatting, there was another knock on the door. When they opened it, it was actually Qin Ren with a document in his hand.
“Da Ren, come in quickly.” When Qin Lin saw Qin Ren, he immediately invited him in.
After Qin Ren sat down, he handed a document to Qin Lin. “Didn’t you want to find a doctor with good medical skills and trustworthy skills for the villa’s medical room? I brought you the information.”
He and the county had been preparing for the application for a 4A scenic area at Qinglin Villa. They had already passed in all other aspects and there was no problem with any review. The only thing missing was a medical room that had not been perfected.
According to the current scale of Qinglin Villa and the number of daily guests, they had to apply for 4A. The medical room also had to have a doctor in charge and two rotation doctors, as well as two rotation nurses. They had to ensure that a doctor and a nurse were on duty at all times.
Qin Lin naturally did not have any connections in this aspect, so he asked Qin Ren’s fiancée, Liao Li, to help inquire about it first.
Liao Li was originally a nurse and was in contact with this industry. She would always have some news about doctors. She did not expect to really find a suitable candidate.
Qin Lin took the document and looked at it. “Tang Xiuwan, 34 years old. She even graduated from Xia City University’s medical school. Is she that good?”
“Tang Xiuwan…” Li Kai subconsciously stood up when he heard this name, but he pretended to be nonchalant and went behind Qin Lin to secretly read the information.
Qin Lin looked at Tang Xiuwan’s information and said in surprise, “She’s a doctor from the county hospital. She’s only 34 years old, but she’s already a candidate for the chief physician. Why would such a person come to my villa’s small medical room?”
Qin Ren explained, “Under normal circumstances, Dr. Tang would naturally not agree, but something happened to her. I think she got a divorce.”
“How did the divorce happen?” Li Kai asked inexplicably.
“Brother Li, it’s not like you’re the one getting a divorce. Why are you making a fuss?” Qin Lin looked at Li Kai in confusion before asking Qin Ren, “Do you know why the other party got a divorce?”
Since he wanted to find the person in charge of the medical room, he had to figure it out. Nowadays, many women are divorced for strange reasons.
No matter what profession this woman was in, there was a problem with her quality.
Qin Ren explained, “I heard something. It seems that the child was diagnosed with a rare illness that requires a very high medical fee. The key is that it might not be treated well.”
“The other party’s husband wasn’t responsible and didn’t want to treat him. Dr. Tang didn’t want to give up on the child, so he divorced his husband and split the assets. He wanted to use his share to treat the child.”
“Back then, Dr. Tang’s conditions were actually better. It was also because her husband returned to Youcheng County Hospital to work. It could be considered a mistake. Moreover, recently, Dr. Tang seems to have missed the opportunity to be the chief physician because of his child’s illness.”
“Apparently, that’s also an excuse for the county hospital. Someone took her place.”
“In a time like this where she needs money to treat her child and is disappointed in the hospital, Lin Zi, your villa has a high chance of hiring Dr. Tang.”
At this moment, Li Kai said anxiously, “Brother Qin, I think you should poach her over. A mother who doesn’t give up on her child must be very ethical as a doctor. That man who can give up on his child is not a good person.”
Qin Lin looked at Li Kai again. “Brother Li, you’re a little angry.”
Li Kai said awkwardly, “Everyone should despise such a scumbag.”
After Qin Lin looked at Dr. Tang’s information, he felt that he could interact with him first. “Da Ren, let’s go to the county hospital to interact with Dr. Tang first.”
“Okay!” Qin Ren nodded and stood up to leave with Qin Lin.
“Brother Qin, I’ll follow you to take a look.” Li Kai immediately followed.
Qin Lin asked in confusion, “Brother Li, when did you become so interested in our villa?”
Li Kai hurriedly said, “Brother Qin, that’s not right. I’ve always been concerned about you, okay?”
The three of them quickly arrived at the county hospital. When they arrived at Tang Xiuwan’s department, they saw Dr. Tang Xiuwan’s consultation room.
The door to the consulting room was open, but there was no one inside.
However, a medical document on the doctor’s seat attracted Qin Lin’s attention because it said: “SMA Disease Information”.
Qin Lin seemed to understand a little. He knew what illness Dr. Tang’s child had and why his husband had chosen to give up treatment.
SMA was not a condition that a county hospital could treat. It was a rare disease in children. It was spinal muscular atrophy, a neuronal degeneration disease.
This was probably what Dr. Tang’s child had, right?
And this disease was a terminal illness for many children.
Children with such an illness were equivalent to being targeted by death.
This was because this SMA illness required 700,000 yuan to treat each injection. It required three injections a year, and the kind that took effect with one injection required more than 13 million yuan.
This was almost not something an ordinary family could afford. No wonder Dr. Tang’s husband chose to give up.
It was a rational choice, but few people could stand by and watch their children die morally.
This illness had once caused a very strong social discussion online. This was because some netizens had discovered that treating this illness in Australia only cost 204 yuan. Why was a needle in the country so expensive?
Actually, there was no choice because the Australian SMA treatment was included in health insurance.
Naturally, there were also madams who asked why China did not include this SMA in health insurance.
Actually, it was because he was helpless. Because there were too many people, there were more than 20 million people in the country with all kinds of rare diseases, and the per capita treatment fee for all kinds of rare diseases was 80,000 yuan a year. If it covered so many rare diseases and health insurance, the medical expenses needed to be covered every year were 1.4 trillion yuan, and the national basic health insurance fund was only about 3 trillion yuan.
In other words, even if it covered all the rare diseases, it would not last for two years. This would also reduce the health insurance of 1.3 billion other people.
In the end, it was actually because there were very few rare patients.
For those pharmaceutical companies, it was not a money-making disease. No one was willing to spend a huge sum of money to study cheaper drugs. It was almost difficult for rare drugs to recoup their costs at a cheap price before the patent protection period ended. They could only be sold at a high price.
Another reason was that substance-factor herbs that contained activation, repair, and strengthening of neuronal cells were very rare.
Even if China wanted to crack its own production, they had to find other substitute medicinal herbs for patent reasons.
However, this kind of substitute medicinal herbs were equally rare. Some of them even grew in environments that were as harsh as Xiangshui Tribute Rice.
If he wanted to change this situation, he would have to find someone who could solve it.
If such herbs could be easily planted, there would naturally be no problem.
Unfortunately, no one in the country could solve this problem at the moment.
As Qin Lin was thinking, he heard footsteps at the door. He turned around and saw a female doctor in a white coat. She was not a beauty, but she had a strange temperament and looked gentle and graceful.
This was Tang Xiuwan. One could clearly see the haggardness on her face.
“Senior Brother Li?” Tang Xiuwan walked into the consultation room and looked at Li Kai in surprise.
“???” Qin Lin subconsciously looked at Li Kai.
Did they know each other?
