Chapter 431: Supply Exceeds Demand
The poll conducted by Wu Jianxing is based on the expectations of individuals to invest in pensions.
For those who work far from their homeland, the less they spend in this area, the better.
But he overlooked the fact that the total population of Tuvalu's district is now nearly 40,000.
Among the 40,000 people, nearly 20,000 families have pension needs.
Although these people have a general psychological expectation in terms of pension expenses, some habits that Chinese people have developed for thousands of years are not easy to change, that is, they like to join in the fun.
Wu Jianxing determined the charging standard for this pension bed, originally thinking that the age structure of the members of the society here is relatively young, and the demand for pension should not be very strong.
In order to open up the situation in this unfamiliar place, the fee standard is set a little above the profit and loss point to ensure that it can be profitable.
As long as the fame is done, the later medical services are where the company makes profits.
But he didn't expect that although the people who work here don't have much need for old-age care, their parents in China have a strong need for old-age care.
Coupled with the advantages of Tuvalu's well-developed online publicity platform, and most people are accustomed to checking the day's task release on the online platform every day.
As a result, on the day the information was released, even before Wu Jianxing and the others could react, more than 700 elderly care beds were booked.
According to the procedures of the Tuvalu Special Administrative Region, the booking process on the online platform is equivalent to the process of signing a contract.
Once this process is completed, it means that the responsibilities and obligations of both parties have been determined, and they will be protected by the laws and regulations of the Special Administrative Region.
Therefore, at this time, it is impossible for Wu Jianxing to raise the corresponding bed pension standard.
Fortunately, when Wu Jianxing released the information, the online platform automatically prompted the validity period of the information and the booking period of the pension bed fee.
Originally, Wu Jianxing planned to do it first to see the effect, so the booking period of this first batch of pension bed fees is only two years at most.
At the very least, there will be no price adjustment for two years for the elderly care beds that have already been booked.
In addition, there are more than 3,000 civilians living in extremely underdeveloped areas in Tuvalu itself.
Although their living environment and conditions have been greatly improved due to the existence of the Special Economic Zone, their medical conditions are still at an extremely low level.
In the past, the vast amount of international aid they received was actually replaced by expensive fresh water and food.
As spending on things like fresh water and food has fallen, there is a need for access to health care.
No one wants to die of illness, if they can be rescued, it is better to rescue it, no amount of money can buy back their lives.
Under such circumstances, Wu Jianxing's nursing home was full almost as soon as it opened.
The nursing area was full of beds, and the medical area was full of people, and Wu Jianxing's medical team couldn't cope with it.
Thankfully, Tuvalu's cashless payment platform has allowed him to save on financial staffing.
In order to solve the problem of insufficient manpower, Wu Jianxing also released a large number of temporary tasks through the task release platform of the Special Administrative Region.
For example, the cleaning of various areas of the nursing home, which does not require any professional skills at all, can easily recruit the right people on the Internet, and there is no need to worry about their efficiency and sense of responsibility.
There is also the physical work of carrying surgical patients, which used to be done by weak nurses, which wastes both manpower and expertise.
With a task publishing platform, it's easy to find a workforce that's willing to do it.
With the help of these strong laborers, only one nurse is needed to take care of the things that were previously messed up in order.
There are also those bulky instruments, oxygen cylinders and other equipment, which can also be handled by these strong laborers, who can do it more easily than nurses.
To Wu Jianxing's delight, due to the employment mechanism of the Tuvalu Special Administrative Region, employers are not required to assume the social responsibility of these people.
Nor will there be a requirement for a person to sign a fixed-term contract with a person after he or she has worked for an employer for a certain number of years.
Therefore, the hospital can use these temporary employment needs to select personnel who are suitable for long-term work in the nursing home, and stabilize them in the form of fixed jobs to supplement the shortage of manpower in the nursing home.
Moreover, such a flexible employment mechanism can quickly put in temporary staff during peak employment periods in medical and nursing homes, and stop the release of outsourced tasks when employment is low.
Therefore, Wu Jianxing only needs to manage his medical and nursing professionals well, so that they can give full play to their medical service capabilities, and other non-professional work is completely regulated by social mechanisms.
After the nursing beds were fully booked, Wu Jianxing's nursing home recovered some of its working capital.
The popularity of the nursing home has made those relatives and friends who came to "pan for gold" with Wu Jianxing see the very good prospects of the integrated medical and elderly care industry in Tuvalu.
After internal discussions among the members of the company, it was decided to continue to expand the scale of the nursing home.
Due to the state's strict supervision of outbound funds, Wu Jianxing's funds for the construction of the nursing home were all transferred by mortgaging domestic real estate to Minsheng Company.
In the process of transferring funds, the flow of funds is still not visible on the books, but Minsheng Company assesses a mortgage amount based on the value of the fixed assets, and after receiving the collateral, it informs the Tuvalu Special Administrative Region through other means, and the Special Administrative Region directly allocates the corresponding funds to its corresponding personal account according to the mortgage amount.
However, for people like Wu Jianxing who rely on technology to do business, most of their assets do not exist in the form of fixed assets, and medical equipment is one of the ways to invest, but this investment has considerable returns.
Moreover, for these movable fixed assets, they can be directly "shipped" to Tuvalu through the channels of Minsheng Company, and the freight paid is insignificant compared to the value of the equipment.
In addition to this, there is a large amount of working capital for the purchase of various medicines, which accounts for almost more than one-third of personal assets.
The drugs in the original hospital can be disposed of directly, and the drugs needed by the Tuvalu District Medical Nursing Home can be purchased through the original purchase channels, and then let Minsheng Company "consign" to the Tuvalu Special District.
It can also be purchased in the international market through other channels, and in the international drug market, some imported drugs do not have high tariffs, and their purchase prices are even much lower than those in the domestic market.
