Chapter 1,079 Preliminary Plan and Unexpected Visitor
If we want to divide the medical field based on industrial structure, it should probably be like this,
First the most upstream:
Pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, government policies
Next is the midstream:
Hospitals and various related medical institutions communicate with the first two and upstream drug/medical device sellers,
Then the most downstream base layer:
Doctors and patients.
In such an industrial structure, the upstream industry has a great influence.
Like the successful development of a new drug that can target leukemia, a technological innovation in a clinical device, or a national policy that reduces cardiac stents from tens of thousands to hundreds,
Each upstream industry can have a huge impact on the midstream and downstream industries it is associated with.
It owns two giant multinational companies in pharmaceuticals and medical equipment respectively, and is one of the powerful members of many public medical organizations, with cooperation scope all over the world.
Various industries including nursing homes, charity medical care, and medical distribution companies, coupled with hundreds of private hospitals in the United States and more than 100,000 doctors under contract,
This is Fiseld's territory in the medical field.
The core of this map is also the core that supports the entire medical service system.
These are medical institutions such as doctors and hospitals.
After all, the origin of this field is that sick people need to go to the hospital to see a doctor...
Once the core of this pillar is shaken, it means that the entire medical service industry will also be shaken.
An important point that maintains basic medical institutions such as doctors and hospitals is the commercial medical insurance company jointly established by the medical field and the insurance field.
As for the reason, here we need to explain the American medical system.
Although it would probably take a 10,000-word paper to describe it in detail, but to highlight the most important difference,
That is, when seeing a doctor in the United States, the hospital’s income is not paid directly by the patients.
Instead, it is mainly paid by medical insurance companies, as well as doctors.
Doctors in the United States are freelancers, and most of them practice independently and are not employees of the hospital. They do not receive salary from the hospital. They only borrow the hospital's facilities to receive medical treatment.
Join a physician association (or employ a hospital) to unite and dispute with medical insurance companies for higher remuneration payment methods.
Then, we will treat patients who have purchased medical insurance from the medical insurance company that we have signed a contract with.
In other words, if there is a problem with the medical insurance company and it is unable to pay for consultation fees or hospitalization expenses, a large number of doctors may choose to terminate the contract and change jobs, and the hospital will make losses and cannot make ends meet.
Once the existence as the cornerstone is removed, a series of industries will be affected.
It is precisely for the above reasons that Rufus Russell alone becomes a threat to Fiseld's entire medical field.
Looking at the various information on the screen in my hand, I spent almost two hours roughly understanding the medical industry and the American medical structure system.
Finally clarifying Adeline's explanation in the previous meeting, Fangran looked at the professional science popularization on the computer and found that his head was as big as a bucket,
It turns out that she really said it very simply and clearly (covering face, laughing and crying)...
"Master, have you finished reading it? Have you gained anything?"
Overlooking the large flat-floor office in the center of Los Angeles, Adeline put the freshly brewed coffee on the table and asked softly,
He placed one hand on an oversized desk and pressed his forehead. He felt a headache worse than the day and night review of rescue work before coming here. Fangran took the cup of coffee and sighed casually:
"I finally figured out the cause and effect...and by the way, I learned how bad your medical system is."
While checking the information, I discovered that medical treatment in the United States is ridiculously expensive. The per capita medical cost is nearly 10,000 U.S. dollars, because many people go bankrupt after seeing a doctor.
The annual medical expenditure in developed countries exceeds the sum of the next dozen or so US dollars. If it could be taken out alone, it would be the fifth largest economy in the world.
But even so, it has not yet achieved universal health coverage.
Suddenly I remembered that when I was complaining about the British subway as a poor person, I also briefly mentioned the medical care in the United States, a monster that accounts for 20% of GDP.
No wonder the medical field is at the forefront of so many profit-making industries in Fiseld, or is it because the market competition is so fierce that even this empire cannot take a dominant position...
After feeling the different national conditions, Fangran paused when he picked up the tea cup and put it to his mouth. The liquid in his mouth was too delicious.
Is this her freshly ground coffee...
"So how do we proceed with Rufus Russell now?"
"How do you think this should be handled?"
Fangran asked her in turn about this question, wanting to hear the opinions of professionals.
"With your ability, Master, there should be many ways to incapacitate him without endangering his life, but in the long run it is best to find materials that can eliminate him at the shareholders' meeting."
Listening to Adeline's cold and calm voice, I felt ashamed for a second because of the euphemism in her words, but to be honest, when I heard during the meeting that the problem this time was personal,
Fangran's first thought was to tie him up directly... ahem, control him.
"First of all... as expected, let's see if he has anything to do with the Future Consortium and the association, and then investigate what he did secretly using that factory. The rest will depend on the situation,"
However, knowing that doing so would only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, he followed Adeline's words and sighed and expressed his planned plan.
"Of course, if there are any signs of things getting out of hand..."
But at the end of the words, he slowly lowered his voice. Fangran looked at the photo of Rufus Russell on the information, and the participant's detachment was slightly revealed.
"I will forcefully control his actions immediately."
Throwing all the files back on the desk, after saying this, Fangran leaned back on Adeline's big swivel chair, feeling that this time things might be relatively relaxed, and waved his hand:
"In short, we just need to find evidence of his rebellion."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing the laziness of the young man in front of her, she was not surprised. She just stood quietly beside him, and Adeline nodded in affirmation.
"Yes."
"Then let's leave now. Speaking of which, where is the headquarters of Litton Beauty Company..."
"In Minneapolis, Minnesota."
Fang Ran: "..."
Where is this tongue-twisting place name? (sweat)...
Fangran had no memory of what he might have said at the meeting. Fangran rolled his eyes speechlessly in his mind. He was already familiar with Adeline's huge contrast between inside and outside.
He didn't care about his image in front of sexy European and American beauties. He slumped down on the comfortable boss chair and asked:
"Are we taking a flight soon?"
"It will take some time to apply for a route. Master, how about you relax here for a while? No one will disturb you here."
Answering his question calmly, Adeline turned her eyes and spoke, making a gentle suggestion with an unchanging expression on her cold and beautiful face:
"My chair and desk are both spacious, even if they press me..."
"Well, okay, don't say any more."
The corners of his mouth twitched hard and silently, and his heart beat erratically to control his thoughts.
Fangran tried his best to stare at Adeline silently with an expressionless face. He really admired and dumbfounded her from the bottom of his heart that she could say such words without hesitation, and that she probably really planned to do it.
At this time, I think again that I am nothing but a gourd driven by a car.
It's as cute as the kid in the kindergarten class who just got on the toy car....
Looking at Adeline speechless and about to say something,
But at this moment,
The expression on Fangran's face froze, and he slowly stood up from his seat, turned his head and looked out the window, and suddenly spoke softly and calmly:
"Adeline, please go out first."
"OK."
Faced with Fangran's sudden words, he nodded in response without any hesitation.
Adeline walked towards the outside of the office.
On the top floor of the Kesi Group Building, Fang Ran was the only one left in the office. He slowly raised his head and looked straight ahead at the empty place.
