Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1250 Barrier

Wang Jianming said: "The signed contract stipulates very clearly that this kind of situation is force majeure and involves my country's Cultural Heritage Protection Law. Uncle, I hope you can communicate with the Korean side. The best way to deal with it now is not to intensify the conflict, but for everyone to calm down and discuss a reasonable solution together."

Although Wang Zhengdao made harsh remarks in front of his nephew, it was impossible for him to break up right away. His purpose of coming here today was to exert pressure rather than to break up.

All that needed to be said had been said, and there was no need for Wang Zhengdao to stay any longer. When he left, Wang Jianming still saw him to the door.

Before leaving, Wang Zhengdao said something soft: "Jianming, we are family, I have no intention of hiding anything when I talk to you, you won't mind, right?"

Wang Jianming smiled and shook his head: "Uncle, how could that be? Don't worry, I will coordinate as soon as possible."

Wang Zhengdao patted Wang Jianming on the shoulder, but ultimately did not emphasize the three-day time limit. He realized that if he pushed too hard, Wang Jianming might backfire. This nephew was not so easy to control.

Wang Zhengdao returned to the car feeling depressed. His son Wang Jiancheng had been waiting for him in the car.

"Dad, what did Brother Jianming say?"

Wang Zhengdao said with a gloomy face: "What else can I say? You are using the Cultural Heritage Protection Law to perfunctorily deal with me."

Wang Jiancheng said: "He shouldn't be that kind of person. Maybe he has his own difficulties. I know something about this. It will be very troublesome if it comes to cultural relics protection. It is better to consider adjusting the plan. There are so many pieces of land in Dongzhou. We don't have to focus on just one piece."

Wang Zhengdao let out a long sigh. He actually thought so too. There was a lot of idle land in Dongzhou, and he couldn't understand why Lexing Group had to take that piece of land. Initially, Lexing had also set its sights on the land for the new hospital of the Infectious Disease Hospital, but later had to give up due to objective reasons.

Wang Jiancheng said: "Dad, have you told Brother Jianming about the adjustment plan?"

Wang Zhengdao shook his head: "Lexing is very insistent. They must implement the contract, otherwise they will give up the China-Korea Industrial Park project."

Wang Jiancheng said: "I really don't understand why these guys are so stubborn?"

Wang Zhengdao lit a cigarette and took two deep puffs.

When passing the High-tech Zone, Wang Jiancheng asked the driver to stop at the construction site of the new Changxing Hospital. As a shareholder of Changxing Hospital, he has always been paying attention to the construction of this joint-stock hospital.

Wang Zhengdao got out of the car with his son and looked at the nearly completed facade. He said in a deep voice, "The progress is quite fast."

Wang Jiancheng nodded and said, "The interior decoration is also being carried out simultaneously. If all goes well, it can be fully completed and officially opened within half a year."

Wang Zhengdao was very clear that Qiao Rulong had tricked his son into buying shares in Changxing Hospital, but now it seems that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Qiao Rulong's series of stupid moves have completely blocked his own path to the system, and now there is no one in the Qiao family who can continue the family's glory.

Wang Zhengdao threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and took out another cigarette.

Wang Jiancheng advised him to smoke less, but he still helped his father light the cigarette.

Wang Zhengdao looked up at the main building of the hospital and whispered, "Jiancheng, this hospital is considered top-notch in Dongzhou, right?"

Wang Jiancheng smiled and said, “At least that’s the case before the new infectious disease hospital is built.”

Wang Zhengdao thought to himself that the obstruction of the new hospital construction of the Infectious Disease Hospital was actually a good thing for Changxing Hospital, as it would eliminate a competitor.

Wang Jiancheng seemed to have guessed his father's thoughts and whispered, "The comprehensive strength of the infectious disease hospital cannot be compared with Changxing. Dad, I have always wondered why Zhai Pingqing wanted to invest in the infectious disease hospital? Even a fool can see that the return on investment of this project is very low. As far as I know, Zhai Pingqing has been working in the civil affairs system in the past. The profits of elderly care and funeral services are far more lucrative than traditional medical care. Why would he choose the difficult over the easy? And he invested 5 billion yuan at one time."

"Jiancheng, do you think Zhai Pingqing can easily come up with 5 billion?"

Wang Jiancheng shook his head: "Although he has some strength, he is not strong enough to this extent. Is there another financial sponsor behind him?"

Wang Zhengdao nodded: "The real investor is Mingde Korean Medicine Group, and behind Mingde Group is Lexing Group."

Wang Jiancheng frowned and said, "Lexing Group originally had its eyes on the land of the infectious disease hospital, but failed to acquire it. So, they indirectly acquired the land by this roundabout way."

Wang Zhengdao narrowed his eyes: "We are still in trouble now."

Wang Jiancheng said: "Dad, did they know that there is an ancient tomb underground?"

Wang Zhengdao took a deep puff of his cigarette, and two thick streams of smoke blew out of his nostrils. At first, he thought that the main reason why Lexing cooperated with him was because of his background and strength, but as the cooperation deepened, he found that the purpose of Lexing's cooperation with him was not as simple as it seemed.

From the initial site selection for the industrial park headquarters to the later investment in the new infectious disease hospital, this series of operations made Wang Zhengdao suspicious.

The ancient tomb incident has intensified, causing the construction of surrounding projects to be suspended. The scope of the protected area will be further clarified soon. Li Changji, the new representative of Lexing, has expressed strong dissatisfaction to Wang Zhengdao. Wang Zhengdao came to Dongzhou so quickly to give an explanation to the partner with his actions. Although he showed considerable strength in front of his nephew Wang Jianming just now, Wang Zhengdao also saw the resilience shown by Wang Jianming. The game has just begun, and it is difficult to get the desired results in a short time. The most troublesome thing is that archaeology has laws to rely on. A "Cultural Protection Law" allows the instigators behind it to gain a firm foothold.

Wang Jiancheng saw his father's distress and whispered, "Dad, don't worry. My brother also attaches great importance to the China-Korea Industrial Park. He will find ways to keep his investment."

Wang Zhengdao smiled bitterly and said, "That depends on how the situation develops. I believe he will make certain concessions and even promise to give South Korea certain compensation and more favorable conditions. But what I am worried about is that South Korea is unwilling to give in."

Wang Jiancheng said disdainfully: "If they refuse to adapt, just let them go. Don't think that investing 15 billion US dollars is a big deal. Don't forget that we are the ones who provide them with the opportunity to make money. Investment is a win-win for both parties, not charity."

Wang Zhengdao looked at his son and asked, "Have you ever considered our losses?"

Wang Jiancheng laughed and said, "Dad, you'd better not say such things in front of Grandpa. In the face of national interests, personal gains and losses are nothing."

At this time, a black Maybach drove into the construction site and stopped near them. Ren Tianye, president of Equator Capital, walked out accompanied by Zhao Feiyang, director of Changxing Hospital.

Wang Jiancheng smiled and said, "Mr. Ren, what a coincidence?"

Ren Tianye nodded and looked at Wang Zhengdao, who happened to be looking at him as well, and they both smiled at the same time.

Wang Jiancheng said to Ren Tianye: "Mr. Ren, let me introduce you. This is my father."

Ren Tianye took the initiative to walk towards Wang Zhengdao. Wang Zhengdao did not wait there. He took a symbolic step forward and the two shook hands.

Ren Tianye said: "Mr. Wang, nice to meet you!"

Wang Zhengdao smiled and said, "I've heard Jiancheng mention President Ren a long time ago. He really admires you."

Ren Tianye smiled and said, "Jiancheng, you are overpraising me. I have always admired Mr. Wang very much, and today is the lucky day for me to meet him."

Wang Zhengdao let go of his hand and said, "Jiancheng and I just happened to be passing by, so we stopped by to see the construction of the new hospital."

Ren Tianye said: "Changxing Hospital is basically under Jiancheng's charge now, and I seldom come here."

Wang Zhengdao smiled and said, "Don't doubt people when you employ them, and don't employ people you don't trust. Thank you, Mr. Ren, for giving young people a chance."

Ren Tianye said: "Mr. Wang, you are too polite. Jiancheng and I have a cooperative relationship. If it weren't for Jiancheng, our project wouldn't have progressed so smoothly."

Zhao Feiyang stood aside and remained silent. Even though he was the director of Changxing Hospital, he still couldn't fit into their circle. In the eyes of this group of people, he was just a high-level worker.

Every time at this time, Zhao Feiyang would feel inexplicably lost in his heart. A high-spirited decision made at the beginning completely changed his life. If he had stuck to the system, there might not be a new hospital before his eyes, but he was still the director of Changxing Hospital, and his words were law. Facing these people, he could at least speak with his head held high without having to look at their faces, but now he had no sense of existence at all.

Wang Jiancheng finally mentioned Zhao Feiyang: "Mr. Ren, the specific projects are all in the charge of Dean Zhao. We cannot ignore Dean Zhao's achievements."

Ren Tianye smiled calmly: "Xiao Zhao has made some progress recently." It is hard to regard this understated remark as a compliment.

  Zhao Feiyang felt increasingly depressed. He thought of the time when the bird is dead and the bow is put away. When the construction of the new hospital is completed, perhaps his mission will have been completed. Will these superiors kick him out by then?

Ren Tianye looked at Wang Zhengdao and said, "Mr. Wang, I heard that the Sino-Korean Industrial Park you invested in Dongzhou has encountered some minor troubles recently."

Wang Zhengdao nodded: "Mr. Ren is well-informed."

Ren Tianye said: "It's hard not to know. The news is spreading everywhere. Mr. Wang should take it seriously."

Wang Zhengdao laughed and said, "A bystander can see more clearly. Mr. Ren, can you give me some advice?" He took out his cigarette and handed it to Ren Tianye.

Ren Tianye did not refuse and took the cigarette.

Zhao Feiyang walked over with a tactful look and lit the drinks for them.

Ren Tianye and Wang Zhengdao took a puff of cigarette at the same time. Ren Tianye made an invitation, and Wang Zhengdao walked towards the construction site with him.

Zhao Feiyang and Wang Jiancheng did not move, as they both realized that Ren Tianye and Wang Zhengdao had something to say to each other in private.

Wang Jiancheng also reached for a cigarette. He seldom smoked, but he felt a little bored at the moment. Zhao Feiyang was quicker than him. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Jiancheng, then took out one for himself and opened his lighter to light it for Wang Jiancheng.
