Chapter 203: Poor, Poor to Death
Looking at the two brothers and sisters with frightened faces, Chen Geng smiled and said: "I understand your feelings, if you really want to express your thoughts to those doctors, there are actually many ways to ......"
"What way?" Before Chen Geng finished speaking, Karen Carpenter's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Fernandez, is there any way I can express my gratitude to these highly skilled gentle......men?" Well, don't break the law. ”
She was frightened by Chen Geng's words just now.
"Actually, this question is very simple, you can ask your attending doctors about what medical equipment they lack, or what drugs are in short supply, and you can buy a few medical instruments or a few drugs that they are in urgent need of and donate them to them?" Chen Geng said with a smile.
This problem is not a problem for him at all, although it is basically impossible for these donated drugs to be used on the heads of ordinary people, but after the state saves the cost of imported medical equipment and drugs, it can be used in other places, and in the end, it is actually the country that gets the benefits.
But Richard Carpenter hesitated, he was probably frightened by Chen Geng's words just now, and asked hesitantly: "Is this okay?"
"If you know the news, you should know that just last month, the U.S. government donated a sum of money to the Huaxia government to improve drinking water conditions in rural areas.
"That's right!"
The brother and sister glanced at each other, nodded again and again, and felt that the mouth was suddenly opened: at the beginning of the year, China and the United States had just established diplomatic relations, and the U.S. government donated a sum of money to the Chinese government to improve the drinking water conditions in rural China (in fact, it was used for the construction of rural tap water official websites), and the brother and sister knew, just like Fernandez said, since the U.S. government can donate, why can't it donate?
Giving some money or gifts to officials privately is a bribe, but if it is a public gift, it is a donation.
It's a good idea!
Chen Geng continued: "In addition, you have also seen that this country is actually very poor now, and it lacks foreign exchange reserves as an international currency, even if they are 'imperial doctors' and are responsible for improving the medical conditions of the entire country, they are reluctant to spend money to order some internationally more authoritative medical journals and periodicals, you can also order a batch of such medical magazines and periodicals to donate to them."
If you really want to express your gratitude to these doctors, and if you have given medicines and medical equipment and journals to the Health Bureau, you can buy some gifts or nutritional products that are not very expensive to give to your doctors, and that's fine, it's a normal human relationship, but remember that the total value should not exceed $1,000......"
Karen Carpenter and Richard Carpenter nodded their heads in succession, only to feel that their mouths were flattened.
The brother and sister have money, and they are not afraid of spending money, what they are afraid of is that they are like when they were in the United States before, they have a lot of money in their hands but they can't save their lives, and the feeling of holding a lot of money in their hands but can only wait for death, this is enough once, and they don't want to experience it a second time.
Why did the brother and sister so firmly want to give some gifts to the "imperial doctors", and even did not hesitate to consult Chen Geng for this reason? Is it because they pay attention to it, yes or no, they are fundamentally still frightened by this damn anorexia nervosa, just yesterday, Karen Carpenter's chief told her that although her condition has begun to improve, her body has suffered too much loss before, and she still needs to slowly adjust, and it will take at least two years to fully recover.
Two years, such a long time, if the doctor is in the United States, it would be fine, but it is still in China, after the brother and sister discussed it again and again, they felt that it would be better to consult Mr. Fernandez on this issue, and they planned to try any way to increase the cure rate.
"Mr. Fernandez, can you come with me?" Karen Carpenter put his hands together and made a plea to Chen Geng that made it difficult for Chen Geng to refuse: "I don't know much about the situation in Huaxia, I'm afraid that there will be some misunderstanding." ”
"OK, no problem. Karen Carpenter said so, what else could Chen Geng say?
....................................
In 79 years of China, it was really poor, even a unit like the Health Bureau was very poor, so that when the Carpenter brothers and sisters and Chen Geng found Director Wang, saying that in order to show their feelings for everyone, donate something to the bureau and ask them what they needed, Director Wang Qingming's expression was ecstatic, and he carefully asked Chen Geng, the only one among the people present who was proficient in both Chinese and English: "Mr. Chen Geng, what Miss Carpenter said is true? Are they really ready to donate a batch of instruments and equipment to us?" ”
"Not only instruments and equipment, if you have urgently needed medicines, you can also donate some to you," Chen Geng said with a smile looking at Wang Qingming, who was very happy: "Director Wang, aren't you?
To Chen Geng's surprise, in the face of Chen Geng's slightly ridiculous question, Director Wang Qingming nodded heavily: "Missing!"
"Lack?" Chen Geng was stunned for a moment, he was a little unimaginable.
Seeing Chen Geng's reaction, Director Wang Qingming knew what he was thinking, and said with a wry smile: "I knew it would be like this...... Mr. Chen, in your imagination, do you think that a unit like ours, which is specially set up to ensure the health of the central leaders, must not be short of money and can buy whatever you want?"
"Uh...... This ......"
Of course, Chen Geng couldn't say, "In my impression, the funds of your unit should be abundant and belong to the state's most important priority guarantee, regardless of whether you need it or not, whether it is useful or not, just buy it and put it on hold, who knows when you can use it? There are also those imported special drugs, just pick up the most expensive ones and buy them." He said euphemistically: "Isn't the funds of your unit the key and priority guarantee?"
"That's right," Director Wang Qingming smiled bitterly, "but the actual situation is not like this at all." ”
Chen Geng: "......"
Hearing Director Wang say this, Chen Geng was really surprised: the actual situation is not like this at all?
After thinking about it, Director Wang said: "Let me say this, some time ago, there were several leaders of the vice national @ level of the big red flag car always broke down, ask if you can replace it with an imported Mercedes-Benz, just this, the country can't come up with money." You say, even the conditions of the leaders are so difficult, how much better can the situation in our unit be?"
“......”
Hearing Director Wang's words, Chen Geng was really stunned: Several existences that can be named "leaders of D and the country" in the news can't even change to Mercedes-Benz? Is the current republic really so poor?
He remembered that a few years later, when he checked the information by himself, he had seen that at this time in China, the total annual foreign exchange reserves were only a few hundred million dollars, and before that, Chen Geng did not have an intuitive understanding of the significance of this foreign exchange reserve quota, but now, he knew what it meant: It meant that the whole country was really poor! Poor D and the country's leaders did not even have the money to change to a more reliable and face-saving car.
Director Wang Qingming continued: "Mr. Chen, some medicines are very sensitive to temperature, and daily storage requires refrigerators, you know this, right?"
"Yes, I know. Chen Geng nodded, not to mention that refrigerators are needed for daily preservation, even the medicines with harsh storage conditions, Chen Geng has also heard of them, but when he heard this, he "chuck......led" in his heart: No, the current Huaxia, is it possible that the poor units that provide life support for the supreme leaders are even short of the most basic refrigerators for storing medicines? !
That's an exaggeration, right?
That's an exaggeration.
"But in our unit, there is not even enough refrigerator to store this medicine," Wang Qingming said helplessly, and he didn't know whether they were really poor or crying poor in front of Chen Geng, so he could take this rare opportunity to get Chen Geng and Carpenter brothers and sisters to donate more money: "The report on the purchase of two refrigerators has been going on for two years, and the refrigerator has not been ...... Mr. Chen, is Miss Carpenter really going to donate something to us?"
"That's for sure. Chen Geng somewhat understood what Director Wang meant: did he just want to buy two refrigerators for the unit?
And that's really the case.
Hearing Chen Geng tell himself with certainty that the Carpenter brothers and sisters were really going to donate something to the Health Bureau, Director Wang Qingming rubbed his hands, hesitated for several times, and finally put forward his request: "What if...... It would be great if Miss Carpenter could donate us two refrigerators...... If it's not convenient, one will do......"
Chen Geng sighed, looked at Director Wang Qingming, who felt very embarrassed that he had made a very excessive request, and he said speechlessly: "Two refrigerators, right? This is absolutely no problem, you can rest assured...... Director Wang, if there are any other things you want to add but have never added, please tell us about them. ”
"No, no, no, it's enough to add two refrigerators......"
"Is that really enough?"
"That's enough!"
"Oh, then let me tell you, in order to thank our unit for helping her, Miss Carpenter has prepared 300,000 US dollars, and can also help our unit order a batch of periodicals and magazines that you have specified, if you only need two refrigerators, then I will tell her......"
Before Chen Geng's words were finished, Wang Qingming's eyes were already round: "Three...... Three...... Three hundred thousand?!"
