How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 520

520. Scumbag, Didn’t You Promise Me the Championship?_What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

As a top dog, Ning Jing was indeed very bold.

“Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, excuse me, can I take a moment of your time?” Ning Jing hurried to catch up and stopped Yang Chen.

Yang Chen: “What is it? Go ahead.”

Ning Jing: “We’d like to add you as a friend, is that okay?”

Yang Chen: “Why do you need to add me as a friend?”

Ning Jing: “Of course, it’s because we hope to have the opportunity to participate in new projects from Starlight Entertainment in the future.”

Yang Chen nodded, found Yang Zhen’s work number, and showed it to them, saying, “This is the number for Yang Zhen, CEO of Starlight Entertainment. You can talk to her directly. Starlight Entertainment isn’t limited to its own artists. As long as the actor is suitable, even if they are from another company or even a competitor, we will use them. Yang Zhen is responsible for the daily management of Starlight Entertainment, so it’s better to talk to her.”

Ning Jing and the others nodded and quickly added Yang Zhen’s number.

However, in reality, these young actresses still wanted to add Yang Chen as a friend. They had ulterior motives.

Wang Nianming had a lot of interaction with the entertainment industry and understood what these celebrities were thinking.

He quickly came to Yang Chen’s rescue, saying, “We have something else to do. We won’t talk to you anymore.”

After speaking, Wang Nianming pulled Yang Chen away.

The others also knew that Wang Nianming had a bad temper and would scold anyone he didn’t like. Naturally, they didn’t dare to go against his wishes and could only watch him and Yang Chen leave.

Wang Nianming: “Brother Chen, do you know what I did today?”

Yang Chen: “What did you do?”

Wang Nianming: “A group of rich second generations in Hai City were taken down in one fell swoop. They were all involved with drugs. I went to watch the show with some other friends.”

Yang Chen: “Really? Why bother with these things when you have a good life? Don’t you learn from them.”

Wang Nianming: “Haha… Brother Chen, don’t worry. I know very well what I can do and what I can’t do. With my conditions, as long as I don’t touch drugs, I can do anything else without much trouble. Why would I be stupid enough to touch that stuff? Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together.”

Yang Chen: “Alright, you’ve said it several times. Let’s have dinner together tonight then. Where to?”

Wang Nianming: “Let’s go to Tang Court.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! See you at Tang Court at seven tonight.”

Wang Nianming: “Then it’s settled. I have to go find my girlfriend, so we’ll part ways for now.”

Yang Chen nodded and waved his hand, signaling him to get busy.

Wang Nianming also quickly waved goodbye to Yang Chen, and then drove away in his flashy pink Cullinan [a luxury SUV].

Yang Chen also quickly got into his car and continued to take orders.

At this time, Gao Qiguo also returned to the villa from the police station.

Although there was no evidence to point to his involvement for the time being, because his younger brother Gao Qijun was involved, he had to accept residential surveillance and try to contact Gao Qijun in front of the police, persuading his brother to return and surrender as soon as possible.

Gao Qiguo made dozens of calls, but Gao Qijun’s phone was always turned off.

Gao Qiting, who had just returned from abroad, was crying her eyes out. She didn’t expect her second brother to go this far.

The sister-in-law patted her back to comfort her, saying, “Tingting, don’t cry. Crying is useless. Your brother and I reminded him almost every day not to mess around, but he just wouldn’t listen. He has only himself to blame for getting to this point. Don’t get emotional now. He’s dead for sure. Don’t get yourselves implicated.”

Gao Qiguo: “Alright, stop talking! I failed to lead him onto the right path. I’m not worthy of being his brother. I’m sorry to Mom and Dad. He used to be a good and outstanding child. It’s all because I led him astray. I regret it so much. I wish I was still working as a decorator. He should be the boss of a software development company now, and he definitely wouldn’t have ended up like this today.”

Gao Qiting: “Big brother, use your connections and spend more money. You must save second brother’s life.”

The sister-in-law: “Are you crazy? Haven’t you seen the news? 1.1 tons! He’s one of the suppliers. Even if it’s divided equally, the weight on him is still more than ten kilograms, enough to execute him hundreds of times. At this time, if we don’t draw a clear line with him, we’ll be targeted too. Not only will we not be able to save him, but we’ll also have to sacrifice ourselves.”

Gao Qiguo was furious and slammed the table hard, roaring, “Enough! He’s my brother!”

After roaring, Gao Qiguo angrily went upstairs and slammed the door of the study shut, locking himself inside, feeling miserable.

Gao Qiting also hated her sister-in-law for being so heartless, wanting to draw a clear line with her second brother to avoid trouble.

“Sister-in-law, you’re too ruthless!” Gao Qiting said, then covered her face and ran crying into her room.

Gao Qiguo’s wife had a wry smile on her face, then her expression gradually froze. Then, she stood still like a statue for a few seconds, and finally she picked up the tea set on the table and smashed it, scaring the nanny at home to hide in her room, afraid to show her face.

“Am I the only outsider in this family? You all have the same surname, you’re a family! Haven’t I fulfilled my responsibility as the eldest sister-in-law? Every time he came back, didn’t I urge him to pay attention to safety and not do things he shouldn’t do? Every time something happened to him, didn’t I run around to smooth things over and save him? This time it’s drug-related, 1.1 tons! I don’t have the ability to save him, and I don’t want him to die and implicate me! You’re all getting angry, but I haven’t even lost my temper yet! Gao Qiguo, you bastard, could you have your current status without me and my godfather? Now you dare to yell at me? If you have the ability, go save him. If you don’t have the ability, then honestly listen to my orders and stop showing me a bad face! Damn it!”

Hearing his wife’s roar downstairs, Gao Qiguo took a deep breath and calmed down.

He understood the reasoning, but emotionally he couldn’t let go of his younger brother.

Now he could only pin his hopes on Zhang Lijun, hoping that he could protect his brother’s safety.

…

At seven o’clock in the morning, SF Express delivered a large package to the Lake Island Villa.

Yu Shishi was struggling to hold it, panting as she threw the package on the living room floor.

“Sir, what did you buy? It’s so heavy!” Yu Shishi shouted.

Yang Chen, who was brushing his teeth, came out to take a look and said with a smile, “It should be the acquisition documents for Dawn Hospital. Open it and take a look.”

Yu Shishi: “Ah? You acquired Dawn Hospital? The one in Hai City?”

Yang Chen: “What’s the point of acquiring just one? I acquired the entire group. All the Dawn Hospitals across the country are mine now. Haven’t our medical devices already produced samples? Once they are mass-produced, they will be put into use in Dawn Hospitals across the country, so that people all over the country can use affordable, accurate, and reliable medical devices.”

Yu Shishi: “Sir, you’re amazing! But you have to be careful. There may be many risks in taking this step.”

Yang Chen: “That’s why I specifically acquired Dawn Hospital. I use my own products in my own hospital. Who dares to say no?”

Yu Shishi: “Then I’ll put the things away.”

Yang Chen nodded, and Yu Shishi quickly took the documents upstairs and put them in the document library.

At eight o’clock, Dawn Group released an announcement.

“After friendly negotiation, Mr. Yang Chen acquired Dawn Group for a price of 230 billion and incorporated it into Starlight Medical Group. Mr. Yang Chen promised not to make any changes to the functional departments of Dawn Hospital Group for the time being and will not have any impact on the operation of the group and its branches. Mr. Yang Chen promised to upgrade and transform Dawn Hospitals across the country and strive to upgrade all Dawn Hospitals to Grade III Class A hospitals, providing the best medical services for patients across the country and even the world.”

As soon as this announcement came out, it quickly dominated the top spot on the hot search lists of major platforms.

Netizens came to leave comments.

“Wow, Boss Yang is really generous. Acquiring Dawn Group for 230 billion means that each Dawn Hospital is worth 350 million. Isn’t that too much of a loss? Hai City Dawn Hospital is a Grade III Class A hospital [highest level of hospital in China], but Dawn Hospitals in other cities are all Grade II hospitals. Dawn Hospitals in some small cities are simply larger clinics. Is it sure that you can earn it back with such a high price?”

“The cost of Hai City Dawn Hospital is 1 billion. If you want to acquire it, you definitely have to pay a premium. There are 660 cities across the country, and each city has a Dawn Hospital. Not to mention anything else, just for this chain ability, it is right to give them a premium. Boss Yang doesn’t lack money anyway, and these are just small change. I’m more concerned about what he suddenly acquired such a national chain of hospitals for. Does he have any ideas?”

“As expected of Boss Yang, he buys something worth 230 billion as soon as he says he will buy it. There was no news about it beforehand. It is said that he suddenly proposed to spend so much money to buy it. Those shareholders of Dawn Hospital must be willing. Some shareholders have directly made 100 times the profit. I am also curious about what Boss Yang wants to do. Does he want to use Dawn Hospital to realize some personal ideals? For example, change the hospital?”

“The Starlight Department also has Starlight Medical Group. I checked it. This group has more than 100 branches, basically realizing self-sufficiency in medical equipment and medical supplies. I feel like Boss Yang is going to do something big.”

…

Just as netizens were speculating, Da Ma Ge excitedly called Yang Chen.

Da Ma Ge also once said that he wanted to change the hospital, but he failed.

As one of the top entrepreneurs, he saw Yang Chen’s purpose at a glance.

Da Ma Ge: “Boss Yang, sell me 1% of the equity and let me realize my dream.”

Yang Chen: “Ah? Which company’s 1% equity do you want? Can I still help you realize your dream?”

Da Ma Ge: “Dawn Hospital! You also know that I have always wanted to change the hospital, but my ability is limited and I can’t complete it. You suddenly acquired Dawn Hospital at a premium of several times, so you must have some plans. I won’t ask you what your plans are. As long as you sell me 1% of the equity, it will be considered that I am following you to realize my previous dream.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! President Ma, you have personally spoken, so how can I not be sensible?”

Da Ma Ge: “Haha… Okay! Then I will personally invest 2.5 billion to buy 1% of the equity of Dawn Hospital Group, okay?”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Prepare the money, and as soon as the money is in place, I will immediately handle the equity transfer procedures.”

Da Ma Ge: “Haha… No problem. I’ll open a mini program [a sub-application within a larger app] for you on Fuqianbao, so that users can directly make appointments for registration and settlement on it. What do you think?”

Yang Chen: “Okay. If you have Fuqianbao, then you have to have WeChat too. I’ll call Little Ma Ge to see what he thinks. Don’t say anything for the time being, just watch quietly. Understand?”

Da Ma Ge: “Haha… Understood! Don’t worry, I’m sensible now. I’m hanging up, you can call Little Ma Ge.”

It’s still early, so there’s no need to call Little Ma Ge to get the WeChat applet right away.

However, after seeing the news, Little Ma Ge immediately took the initiative to call Yang Chen.

Little Ma Ge’s idea was the same as Da Ma Ge’s. He also personally invested to buy 1% of the equity, and in the future, he would open a mini program for Dawn Hospital on WeChat, so that users could directly register and settle accounts.

The two President Mas are both veterans in the business world. They know that Yang Chen would never spend so much money to fully acquire Dawn Hospital at will. He must have his own ideas and plans.

Therefore, they only need 1% of the equity, and they don’t want to embarrass Yang Chen and make everyone feel uncomfortable.

In fact, according to Yang Chen’s idea, he wants to find someone to develop a professional APP, not only to absorb Dawn Hospital to settle in, but also to invite other hospitals to settle in.

Patients can rate and evaluate hospitals and doctors, and those with scores below a certain value will be cleared.

The scoring can be comprehensively given from the aspects of medical skills, service attitude, and medical expenses, and finally excellent doctors and hospitals will be selected according to the comprehensive score.

This is similar to the relationship between Bilibili [a Chinese video sharing website] platform and drivers. With the rating as a restriction, drivers must try to do their job well. Once the rating is low, there will be no orders, and those drivers with high ratings will have a constant stream of orders.

If hospitals and doctors are also restricted by a certain platform, will they also work hard to improve the quality of service like ride-hailing drivers?

As long as Yang Chen can make Dawn Hospitals in every city across the country become hospitals with comprehensive strength reaching Grade III Class A, even if there is no official recognition, as long as patients recognize it, his plan can succeed.

Other hospitals and doctors are unwilling to settle on the platform, right?

Patients don’t go to them, they only go to Dawn Hospital for treatment.

Anyway, Yang Chen doesn’t lack money. If one Dawn Hospital in a city can’t meet the needs of patients, then one in each district, is that okay?

Other hospitals and doctors still dare not accept it?

Therefore, the key point is to gain the trust of patients, and other problems will be solved automatically.

Of course, Yang Chen also has to prepare for the worst and must achieve full self-sufficiency in all categories.

The reorganized Starlight Medical Group can now produce the most advanced medical equipment, and the acquired Blue Sky Medical Group is responsible for producing gauze, sterile clothing, and other medical supplies. The only thing lacking is a company that produces drugs.

As long as medical equipment, medical supplies, and pharmaceutical products are all self-sufficient, Yang Chen can complete his great dream.

Because at that time, no one except the regulatory authorities can restrict him.

At that time, his rules are the rules, and hospitals and doctors who do not comply can only be eliminated.

These are all things for later, and there is a long way to go. Drug research and development and production have not yet begun, so we must take it slowly.

Yang Chen came to Hai City TV Station, and as soon as he got out of the car, Zhang Lijun sent a message.

“Brother Chen, the Kun City branch reported that Gao Qijun has been handed over to the Kun City police.”

Yang Chen replied: Okay, good job.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Yang Chen didn’t plan to drive anymore. He would eat first, and then find a place to sleep for a while.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Yang Chen was sleeping under a big tree by the river.

Suddenly someone knocked violently on the car window.

Yang Chen quickly opened his eyes, and a migrant worker-like man said, “Little brother, please take me to the hospital. I need emergency treatment.”

As soon as he heard that he needed to go to the hospital for emergency treatment, Yang Chen quickly got up and asked him to get in the car.

The man opened the back door and got into the car. Yang Chen subconsciously looked back at him and was almost scared to scream because the man was holding a triangular-headed snake in his hand, and the snake was biting the back of the man’s hand.

Damn, the man said he needed to go to the hospital for emergency treatment because he was bitten by it?

Yang Chen: “Brother, what’s going on?”

The man: “Don’t mention it. I was working over there, and suddenly this thing jumped out of the grass and bit the back of my hand. Although I don’t know what kind of snake it is, I can tell that it must be poisonous just by looking at its color and head. So, I took it to the hospital, and the doctor will know what kind of snake it is when he sees it, and can accurately give me antivenom.”

Yang Chen: “Brother, you’re a tough guy! Then you have to hold on to it, don’t let it bite me.”

The man: “Don’t worry, I’ve got a good grip on it, it definitely can’t escape. Just drive with peace of mind, and I’ll give you some gas money when we get there.”

Yang Chen: “No, no. You sit tight, we’ll go to the hospital now.”

Yang Chen started the car and headed to the nearest Grade III Class A hospital as quickly as possible.

Small hospitals may not have antivenom, and it may be a waste of time to run there and delay the man’s injection of antivenom. It’s safer to go directly to a large hospital. No matter how poisonous the snake is, it can’t be fatal in half an hour, right?

Yang Chen occasionally looked at the man’s mental state and the poisonous snake in his hand through the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but joke, “Brother, you’re the toughest person I’ve ever seen. If I were bitten, I wouldn’t dare to hold it like that to the hospital.”

The man: “Don’t say it, I also regret it a bit. It wasn’t my co-worker who suggested that I hold it, so that the doctor would know what kind of snake bit me and could give me accurate treatment. I didn’t think so much at the time, so I grabbed it and ran over to find your car to help me get to the hospital. If I had calmed down, I wouldn’t dare to do this. I guess all the venom of this snake has been released to me. Now if I throw it away, I’m worried that it will hurt others, so I’ll just hand it over to the hospital to deal with.”

Yang Chen: “Brother, you’re not only a tough guy, but also a good person.”

Soon, Yang Chen took the man to the People’s Hospital.

Yang Chen parked the car, ran ahead into the hospital, and came to the information desk, saying, “Nurse, someone was bitten by a poisonous snake, where should he go for treatment?”

Nurse: “Ah? What kind of poisonous snake?”

Yang Chen: “I don’t know, a flower snake, I can’t say exactly what kind of snake it is.”

At this time, screams came from the door.

The man ran over with the snake in his hand, and the four young ladies at the information desk were frightened.

“Oh my, why did you bring the snake here?”

“Oh my god, what kind of snake is this?”

“Come, come, come with me, I’ll take you to find the doctor.”

…

The nurse shouted as she ran, “Everyone get out of the way, there’s a poisonous snake, there’s a poisonous snake!”

The man followed behind, scaring everyone around him to run away.

Yang Chen followed behind to take a look, and the doctor recognized at a glance that the man was holding a viper.

The viper is the only poisonous snake in the Hai City area, and large hospitals have sufficient antivenom.

The doctor quickly captured the snake and immediately injected the man with antivenom.

With the antivenom injected, this man should be safe.

Yang Chen left the hospital with peace of mind.

Just as he left the hospital gate, Fang Yingqi called.

Fang Yingqi: “I’m done filming here, where are you?”

Yang Chen: “I just took a man to the People’s Hospital.”

Fang Yingqi: “I’m going home to drive the RV now, let’s spend the night in Sheshan.”

Sheshan Resort is also Yang Chen’s property, which he bought together with Jinshan Resort at that time.

The last time I went there was with Zhang Xiang and the others, it’s been more than three years, right?

Usually, Yu Shishi is responsible for communicating with the person in charge of the resort and tourism company. Yang Chen doesn’t care about this small business at all.

Yang Chen: “Okay.”

Fang Yingqi: “Okay! I’m hanging up, I’m going back to prepare clothes and food, and refuel and water the RV.”

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen continued to take orders.

Yang Chen came to the starting point according to the navigation, and a long-haired, 98-point beauty hurriedly got into the car.

As usual, Yang Chen checked her mobile phone tail number, reminded her to fasten her seat belt, and then set off.

Girl: “It’s you. You just took a man who was bitten by a poisonous snake to the hospital.”

Yang Chen: “Hmm? Were you also at the hospital?”

Girl: “Yes! I was there just now. By the way, handsome guy, can you wait for me when we get to the destination? I took a look at that place and it’s a bit remote, it may be difficult to get a taxi back.”

Yang Chen: “I’m a ride-hailing driver, not a taxi, so I may not be able to wait for you.”

Girl: “Can I charter your car, okay?”

Yang Chen: “I have something to do tonight, so I can’t charter the car.”

Girl: “Then can you wait for me for a while, at most half an hour. I’ll give you a thousand yuan as a reward, okay?”

Damn, she’s so generous.

Half an hour won’t delay my date with Fang Yingqi, and the destination is indeed remote, it seems to be a place near the mountains in the suburbs. It’s really a bit unsafe for such a beautiful girl to go there in the evening.

Yang Chen: “Okay, for the sake of a thousand yuan, I’ll wait for you for half an hour. After half an hour, whether you come or not, I will leave. Okay?”

Girl: “Okay! No problem. My name is Qiao Renxi, what’s your name?”

Yang Chen: “My name is Yang Chen.”

Qiao Renxi: “Oh, okay. I’m from Hangzhou, and this time I’m here to visit an old doctor, hoping that he can go to Hangzhou to save my dad. Half an hour is enough for me to communicate with him, thank you.”

Yang Chen: “Oh, so you’re visiting a doctor. What disease does your dad have, why don’t you go to a big hospital for treatment, but instead ask an old doctor for help?”

Qiao Renxi: “I went to the hospital for treatment, but it’s not getting better. So I want to try some folk remedies. I just heard about this old doctor from an old doctor. I hope he can save my dad’s life, no matter how much it costs.”

She’s still a very filial girl, that’s great.
