Chapter 402 Santana for private purchase

  Chapter 402 Private purchase of Santana

  After returning to the office, Chen Qi began to give benefits to his surgery team.

  Except for the endorsement fee, he earned 150,000 US dollars just for this operation. This amount of money is definitely not a small amount even after decades.

  Eat meat by yourself, no matter what, you have to give your team some soup, otherwise no one will hang out with you in the future.

  The assistants for Chen Qi this time were Yan Shifan, Bian Meng, and Head Nurse Qiu Fang. These three were the core of the “Second Department of Surgery” personally selected by Chen Qi when he first arrived at the Fourth Hospital.

   After working together for so long, Chen Qi is very satisfied with their business capabilities.

  Especially Yan Shifan and Bian Meng, who say they are assistants, are actually similar to apprentices, so no one can lose to them if they lose.

  In the office, Chen Qi put three envelopes on the table, smiled and said:

   “Here, take it. Here is 3,000 US dollars, one envelope per person. Let it be your hard work during this time.”

   Head nurse Qiu felt a little nervous when she heard this:

   “Dean Chen, this, this is not suitable, we have not made any contribution to this station, it is mainly the assistants of the Japanese and experts from the capital.”

  Yan Shifan and Bianmeng looked at each other, but neither of them reached for the envelope.

  Chen Qi was quite satisfied with the attitude of the three of them.

  His belief has always been that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. There is nothing wrong with liking money, and there is no problem in making money with his own true ability.

  Just don’t reach out for money that you shouldn’t reach out. If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.

   In fact, the wage subsidies he gave to several assistants are already the highest in the Vietnam-China health system. If this is not enough, then Chen Qi will be disappointed in his heart.

   “Take it, but the amount must be kept secret. No one dares to blackmail me, the dean, but I’m afraid you will be treated every day, ha.”

  $3,000 is considered a sip of soup compared to Chen Qi, which doesn’t seem like much.

   But don’t forget that the U.S. dollar was a hard currency in the 1980s. If you go to the black market to exchange it, you can exchange it for at least 20,000 RMB, which is the salary of an ordinary worker for several years.

   It is impossible for Chen Qi to give too much at once. Sheng Mien and Dou Michou, he is giving too much now, what should we do in the future? Human nature cannot stand the test.

  Seeing that the three of them were still a little hesitant, Chen Qi smiled lightly:

“Don’t worry, it’s foreign friends’ money anyway. If you don’t take it for nothing, you don’t want to take it. But I don’t think you should keep it. Inflation is very strong now. You can buy business houses in China Textile City now, so hurry up.” Opportunity, it will be difficult to get in the car in the future.”

  After hearing what Chen Qi said, Yan Shifan generously put the envelope in his pocket:

   “We dare not take what others give us, but we are not afraid of what Chen Tou gives us, but today’s money, the three of us are rotten, and no one will say anything.”

  Bianmeng also laughed: “Anyway, I don’t even tell my uncle, because I’m afraid that if I do, he will clamor to come to work in the Second Department of Surgery.”

  hahaha~~~~

   Several people in the office laughed lightly.

   Head nurse Qiu saw that it was a secret of the four people, and it was not public money, so she accepted it with confidence. At the same time, she was very happy, and decided to follow the young director’s advice and buy some business houses.

  At noon that day, Chen Qi also sent a big red envelope of 100 US dollars to each of the surgical and anesthesia employees.

  Besides, the money was a red envelope paid by Chen Qi personally. He was aboveboard and didn’t think too much about it.

   But this foreign exchange red envelope later brought him a lot of trouble.

  After distributing the money, Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan boarded the train to the provincial capital.

  In the First Affiliated Hospital of the Province, Professor Zhang Chunyi was very happy to see Lan Lijuan coming. The two held hands and looked very affectionate, while Chen Qi was giggling while carrying a large bag of souvenirs.

  As the papers on Helicobacter pylori began to be valued by various countries, there were doubts before. Two years later, the current public opinion has become dubious.

  Scientists from various countries are also repeating the experiments in the papers, and various voices of support have already emerged.

  As the author of the thesis, Lan Lijuan still can’t feel it in the small place of Yuezhong.

  But Professor Zhang, as a well-known doctor in China and also the author of the paper, has the strongest feeling.

  At the same time, it also allowed her to gradually increase her voice in the domestic medical circle and even with her foreign counterparts, and she finally felt proud.

  So whether it is gratitude to Lan Lijuan or genuine love for this “little apprentice”, Professor Zhang used his contacts and relationships to help Lan Lijuan get a graduate student quota.

  The number of special recruits is equivalent to recommended students, who do not need to take the unified postgraduate examination.

  Of course Lan Lijuan is also qualified. After all, she is a talented person who has published papers in The Lancet. If she were a young university teacher, she would have been directly hired as an associate professor.

  In addition, other graduate students need to study part-time. They first resign from the original unit, then report to the university, and then work with their tutors. During this period, there is no salary.

   But as a tutor, Professor Zhang acquiesced that Lan Lijuan could not be out of production, as long as she studied and took exams with her regularly.

  Of course, this also has a purpose, the name is to let Lan Lijuan collect the data needed for the experiment clinically.

  The postgraduates in 1986 are not ordinary, they are definitely high-end talents. How many masters are there in the entire Vietnam-China health system? The doctor has never heard of it.

  Professor Zhang chatted with Lan Lijuan for a long time, then saw Chen Qi with a smirk on his face, and greeted him:

   “You boy, your wife is preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Are you doing correspondence courses all the way to the end?”

   Yes, Chen Qi did not seek connections, otherwise, with his current title of “Dual Director”, if he wanted to take a postgraduate degree in plastic surgery or hand surgery, he would really be able to choose from any university in the world.

   But the problem is, he has other plans in mind.

  He will definitely take the postgraduate entrance examination, but he must choose the direction of liver, gallbladder and pancreas as his major, and will not consider other majors.

  Once he passes the examination for a master’s degree in plastic surgery or hand surgery today, it means that it will only become more and more difficult for him to change majors in the future.

  Theoretically, he can minor in a second major during graduate school, or take another degree after finishing one degree.

  The problem is that Chen Qi is going to learn from Professor Wu Mengchao. For such a top expert, his vision and the standard for selecting apprentices are very high.

  He will not accept students who are not majors in hepatobiliary surgery, or students who change majors halfway.

  The big boss has a big boss, and at the same time the big boss must also ensure the purity of the team, not all dogs and cats.

   It doesn’t work in top majors to downgrade talents without sticking to one style.

  Either you choose this major from the very beginning and choose him as a tutor, otherwise you don’t want to “need… and… and…”

  The next day, Chen Qi appeared in the Shanghai stock market alone, and Lan Lijuan went home to take care of the children after completing some formalities.

  Chen Qi came to buy a car, because the Santana, the most luxurious car in this era, is produced in Shanghai.

  In 1986, there were no 4S stores in China. If you wanted to buy a car, you had to submit an application from your unit. After waiting for the approval from your superiors, your unit would take the money and a letter of introduction to the provincial auto sales company to buy a car.

   This procedure is very complicated. For the shortage of goods like Santana, each province has a fixed quota, and you can queue up to kill you. Anyway, all kinds of related people have already taken the car in advance, so just wait obediently if it doesn’t matter.

  Chen Qi’s situation is special, he is a private car buyer, which has no precedent in Haidong Province, so he had to go to Santana’s base camp to buy a car.

  In previous years, Chen Qi would not have dared to have such an idea.

   Buying a car privately? It’s as exaggerated as who said in later generations that you want to buy a train, do you want to go to heaven?

  Prior to 1986, private car purchase was not allowed. Just this year, that is, private car purchase was opened in 1986. Chen Qi couldn’t wait to buy a car for fun before farmers and entrepreneurs.

  Other people hide their money, but he “Chen Wanwan” doesn’t use it. Anyway, his first penny comes in an aboveboard manner, and he spends it frankly.

  In fact, the first private car buyer in Huaguo appeared as early as 1984. It was a professional chicken farmer in the capital, who raised 5,000 chickens, and then bought a Dongfeng 140 truck with private money.

   However, this is for production, not for private enjoyment like a car, so it has not attracted widespread attention.

  After the Chinese New Year in 1986, a self-employed man named Chen Anlin in the capital bought a Fiat 126P sedan imported from Poland for 10,000 yuan.

  So the national private car purchase ban was lifted.

  Do you know what the Fiat 126P looks like?

  Have you seen “Mr. Bean”? Just like the car driven by Mr. Bean, it is very small, smaller than the later Alto, and about the same size as the little turtle.

   Just this car caused a national sensation. It was even published in the newspapers of Yuezhong, and became the envy of the people of the whole country.

   You must know that at this time, everyone is still proud of owning a bicycle, and a motorcycle can have the “preferential right to choose a spouse”.

  Cars, many farmers in poor valleys probably have never seen a car.

  Chen Qi is not envious, this man is not a woman, driving such a small car? That’s not as domineering as buying a big Dongfeng truck.

  In 1986, there were too few domestic models to choose from, only Polonaise, Lada, Dacia, Volga, Moskva, Bairu and so on.

  From the perspective of a reborn Chen Qi, it can only be described as ugly.

   Not only is it ugly, but the ride comfort is also very poor, just like the Jeep 212 in the Fourth Courtyard, which is hot in summer and cold in winter, because the shock absorber function is poor, and the back seat is like dancing disco.

   Once the driver was busy, Chen Qi drove by himself, and when he drove to the destination, he felt that both hands were wasted.

  Why? Because the jeep does not have a steering wheel, it all depends on the strength of your hands, and the manual gear is particularly difficult to get in. This made Chen Qi, who was used to driving the automatic gear in his previous life, very uncomfortable.

  For example, there is also a small car called Warsaw at this time, with two feet clutching, how to drive such a car?

  No wonder these days, the status of drivers is very high, and they belong to the worst group of people in the work unit. It is really that driving these days is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, and if it is broken, you have to repair it yourself on the way.

  Of course there are good cars, such as Crown, Duke, Bluebird, etc. The ride experience of Japanese cars is definitely better than that of Santana.

  The problem is that these Japanese cars are not imported into China in a fair manner, and they have to go to the south to buy them.

  Chen Qi doesn’t want to get any stains on his body now, so the only way is to come to the Shanghai stock market to buy a Santana, as a sacred car, which can be passed down to three generations.

  In 1986, there were no 4S stores. To buy a car, you had to go to a car sales company, a state-run one. There were not only Volkswagen brands in the store, but you could see cars on the road.

  Chen Qi came to a car sales company on Huaihai Road and wandered around for a long time, as if following up a car museum.

  It’s a pity that these old-fashioned cars have no collection value, otherwise Chen Qi would have to buy a few.

   At this time, a staff member Zeng Yin saw Chen Qi wandering around, so he came over and asked, “Comrade, which unit do you work for, and what car do you want to buy?”

  Chen Qi smiled: “I bought the car privately, can I do it now?”

   Zeng Yin looked Chen Qi up and down quickly and carefully, and immediately showed a warm smile. It seems that the training is in place, and there is no plot to pretend to be aggressive.

   “Okay, which car do you want?”

   “Santana!”

   “Santana? Okay, please, let me introduce the configuration to you first…”

  Chen Qi waved his hand, “I don’t need to introduce the configuration. Anyway, I also know that all the parts of this car are imported from West Germany. How much is this car now?”

   Zeng Yin wondered which family’s young master this is. Buying a car is like buying a carrot. You don’t even need basic information?

   “Comrade, it’s like this. At present, the whole car costs 195,000, plus some taxes and fees. The total is about 200,000.”

  When Chen Qi heard the price, even if he was mentally prepared, he was shocked. He bought a three-entry mansion in the second ring road of the capital before, which was only 100,000 RMB.

   This car is worth 2 courtyard houses. To be honest, most people really can’t buy it. After all, the value of houses increases every year, while cars depreciate every year.

   At that moment, he thought about forgetting to buy a Fiat worth 10,000 yuan.

   But on second thought, Fiat is not only difficult to drive, the key is the low safety factor, it will fall apart when it hits, and there are too many minor problems, and it needs to be repaired from time to time.

  Although the Santana doesn’t have an airbag, it’s at least a bit stronger, and this kind of magic car claims to be unbreakable, so it saves a lot of worry.

   There is an old saying: “When it comes, buy it.”

   “Hello, can your company be supported in US dollars?”

   Zeng Yin was stunned when he heard this. He had seen people buying cars with suitcases, but never seen people buying cars with US dollars. Domestic foreign exchange is strictly controlled, and US dollars are not accepted.

   “Sorry comrade, we can only use RMB.”

   “Use RMB?” Chen Qi smacked his lips. With the exchange rate of 1:3.5, Chen Qi felt that he had lost money.

   Zeng Yin obviously saw Chen Qi’s hesitation. People in Shanghai are so smart, they immediately understood the psychology of customers, so he approached and whispered:

   “I have a relationship, and I can exchange currency. If you need it, I can help introduce it.”

  Chen Qi asked calmly: “Is it a piling mold? How to change it?”

   “1:8, how about one piece for eight pieces?”

   With this ratio, the scalper has left enough profit margins, which is the same as Chen Qi’s secret exchange rate in other cities. It seems that this scalper is also unified across the country.

   “Okay, I will exchange the foreign exchange for a car.”

   Half a day later, several scalpers pooled together 200,000 RMB, and Chen Qi also mentioned Santana smoothly. As for the license plate, he must go back to Yuezhou to get it.

  As for whether you can drive in the Shanghai stock market without a license, this is not a problem at all. Those who can drive Santana these days are both rich and expensive, which traffic policeman dare to stop?

  Chen Qi touched the familiar steering wheel. Although he felt sorry for the money, it was more joy.

  With a car, he can travel to more places with freedom, and he can take his wife and children to work outside the office on weekends.

  The car sales company was also very considerate, knowing that Chen Qi was from another city, they specially provided a map of Shanghai stock market and a map of the whole country as a gift.

  Chen Qi studied for a long time, turned the steering wheel, and drove to Changhai Hospital.
