I Can Talk to the Internal Organs

Chapter 360 - 326: A Bountiful Harvest

With the assistance of two top figures, Lu Jiu finally agreed to the collaboration.

Thus, Wei Zhengxian began to find people to draft the hospital cooperation agreement. Ying Deshuang, the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, also invited several veteran TCM doctors from the association, as well as Huang Fusheng and Shen Congwei.

A multitude of influential figures gathered together to witness the establishment of a cooperative relationship between Wei Medical Hall and Lu Jiu TCM Hospital.

These influential figures also learned about Lu Jiu TCM Hospital and Lu Jiu himself under the explanation of Ying Deshuang.

When they learned that Lu Jiu had a natural talent for TCM, they were very pleased.

The greatest wish of these veteran practitioners, who have devoted their lives to medicine, is to see TCM thrive.

If Ying Deshuang hadn’t stopped them, a few of the veteran TCM doctors would have wanted to join in.

However, at the current stage, although Lu Jiu TCM Hospital lacks resources, it is not to such an extent; with the assistance provided by Wei Medical Hall, it is enough for Lu Jiu TCM Hospital to develop for several more years.

The significance of these veteran TCM doctors joining would not be very great.

After the agreement was signed, Wei Zhengxian also informed Lu Jiu of the next steps in the collaboration.

Firstly, funds were to be provided. Wei Medical Hall would invest by way of shares, while Lu Jiu TCM Hospital, through technical shares, would receive stock from Wei Medical Hall to help it transition, making it a public-to-public collaboration.

Secondly, there would be an exchange of talent. Wei Zhengxian decided to keep some students to establish a branch, while the rest were sent to Lu Jiu TCM Hospital for three years of study, after which they could directly enter Wei Medical Hall rather than the branch.

At the same time, doctors from Wei Medical Hall would regularly visit Lu Jiu TCM Hospital for consultations and exchanges.

Lastly, the integration of platforms; the internal doctors’ platform of Wei Medical Hall would be interconnected with that of Lu Jiu TCM Hospital, allowing everyone to see each other’s medical cases, and if any illness cannot be solved, they could communicate internally on the platforms.

This also facilitates Ying Deshuang to integrate data with the Ministry of Science and Technology for AI intelligent iterative upgrades.

The three-pronged approach thoroughly ties Wei Medical Hall and Lu Jiu TCM Hospital together.

In the future, Wei Medical Hall might not take long to take the shape of Lu Jiu TCM Hospital.

This is somewhat like Lu Jiu TCM Hospital being reborn in Jinling!

Lu Jiu originally thought that when he joked with people like Liu Xing, he never expected that just over a week later, the model of Lu Jiu TCM Hospital would be implemented in Jinling.

It’s hard to say what kind of waves Wei Medical Hall might stir in Jinling after it completely changes its institutional model.

Lu Jiu is quite looking forward to it!

...

With the agreement signed, the short trip to Jinling came to an end.

Things went much smoother than Huang Fusheng had anticipated; he did not expect Lu Jiu to actually impress Wei Zhengxian and establish a cooperative relationship between Wei Medical Hall and Lu Jiu TCM Hospital.

Originally, he planned for Lu Jiu to make a high-profile appearance in front of these veteran practitioners, show his talent, and then ask for some resources.

He didn’t know whether Lu Jiu made a high-profile appearance, but he knew that the resources needed were quite a lot indeed.

The funds invested by Wei Medical Hall alone might be enough to build another hospital.

He had heard before that the Wei Medical Hall Group Company made quite a bit of money just by selling TCM herbal recipes.

Now it seems that they indeed made quite a bit of money.

If the TCM herbal recipes of Lu Jiu TCM Hospital could also leverage the brand effect of Wei Medical Hall, they might become even more popular in Jianghan!

Tsk!

The potential of Jianghan now might not even be worse than the Four Major Pharmaceutical Cities.

"Lu Jiu, how many years have you been studying TCM?" On the train, Grado, sitting next to Lu Jiu, suddenly asked.

Ever since the two had exchanged contact information, Grado had been waiting for Lu Jiu to return to Jianghan.

Today, she joined Lu Jiu and the others on the train heading to Jianghan.

"About twenty years," Lu Jiu replied.

"Oh! That’s longer than I’ve been studying. So how old are you now?" Grado asked in surprise.

"I’ll be twenty-seven soon," Lu Jiu replied.

"You started studying medicine at seven? In Huaxia, do all kids with family traditions start learning medicine from elementary school?" Grado asked.

"More or less, but some give up midway, and some who are unwilling to learn when young pick it up again as adults," Lu Jiu replied.

"I wish I had been born in Huaxia. I started learning TCM too late. My master said I might never be able to surpass him unless I could come to Huaxia and continue learning under new teachers," Grado said.

"If you only study one system, it’s indeed hard to surpass the predecessors. The field of TCM requires mastering too many knowledge points, and everyone’s experience holds truth. Without several teachers guiding you, it’s hard to make progress just by exploring on your own. Eh..." Lu Jiu suddenly had a cunning glint in his eyes, "Why don’t you come to our hospital for some exchange learning? We have a collaboration with Jinling’s Wei Medical Hall, so there will be skilled doctors from both sides. Learning from each other might be beneficial to you."

Indeed!

Lu Jiu started recruiting talent again!

He couldn’t help it, as Grado knew the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique!

Even though she had given him video lessons, there’s no substitute for real-life teaching.

If Grado could be invited to the hospital and stay for a while, young doctors could learn the essence of the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique from her.

With the support of this acupuncture technique, even mastering the basics could enable most young doctors to handle common ailments, gradually delving deeper through practice. Within six months, most would be able to stand on their own.

So, this person must be recruited!

"Learning, huh? But I can’t stay in Huaxia for too long..." Grado hesitated.

She originally just wanted to visit Jianghan. As for learning and exchange, she wasn’t too interested.

After all, if she really wanted to learn and exchange, wouldn’t it be more convenient in Jinling?

"Stay for as long as you can. Our hospital’s model has many details that can’t be explained in a day or two. If you want to bring this model back to De Hans, you must listen to our experiences of failure to avoid making the same mistakes," Lu Jiu said.

Hearing this, Grado’s eyes showed a determined glint, "Alright then, I’ll try to stay a bit longer."

Lu Jiu was overjoyed at her response.

He had already planned in his mind to return to the hospital, gather Peng Yan and the others, and follow Grado every day to learn the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique.

The goal was to master this acupuncture technique as quickly as possible.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it all; just remember it first.

Acupuncture is all about Qi Sensitivity.

If you can grasp Qi Sensitivity, you’ve laid the foundation for learning acupuncture techniques. After remembering the key points and methods, and understanding the acupuncture points, you can learn most acupuncture techniques. To achieve good results, it all comes down to practice.

Whew~

After chatting with Grado for a while, Lu Jiu lay back in his seat, comfortably closing his eyes to rest.

This trip to Jinling yielded far richer rewards than he had anticipated!

The once somewhat stagnant development of Lu Jiu TCM Hospital is likely to enter a period of explosive growth in the coming days...
