"That’s right. If you hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten about this. Okay, I’ll take the air conditioner as well."
Li Jingsheng was genuinely pleased, having spent only seventy-three thousand to acquire nearly all the necessary equipment for the operating room.
"If your operating room over there is already renovated, I can introduce you to some technicians who can disassemble and move it for you, then install it at your place."
"Thank you so much! I’ve been worried about this! My operating room is already renovated. If I can find technicians, they could dismantle and move it there today."
Li Jingsheng was very happy.
With such a large batch of equipment, his clinic won’t face any hardware obstacles for outpatient surgeries in the future.
"Here’s the phone number for the technicians. Note it down and contact them yourself. If they quote a high price or seem busy, just tell them I introduced you."
Director Tai’s care was truly exceptional.
Li Jingsheng fetched a red envelope from his pocket with two thousand yuan inside, which was quite substantial.
He handed it over.
"Thank you for your support. Please, have a cup of tea, and I hope you don’t mind."
"Stop it, stop it. If you keep giving me red envelopes, it’s not gratitude, but you’re trying to get me into trouble. Besides, I’m helping you because of your acquaintance. If you really want to thank someone, thank your acquaintance directly."
Director Tai never mentioned Lian Tao’s name.
That’s their way of handling things.
Always cautious and careful.
"Alright! If you ever need anything from me in the future, just let me know anytime."
Li Jingsheng put the red envelope back in his pocket.
"By the way, I saw color ultrasound and X-ray machine equipment for sale. Are they expensive?"
Li Jingsheng’s B-mode ultrasound machine was still functional, but the X-ray diagnostic device needed upgrading, and adding a color ultrasound would be advantageous if possible.
"A bit pricey. The market price for color ultrasounds is generally over 250,000 yuan, with better ones around 300,000. Two are being retired this time, one with more issues, and the other with some minor issues, priced at 30,000 and 50,000 respectively."
Essentially, it’s a bargain.
Considering a color ultrasound charges 200 yuan per session, with enough patients, one could quickly recoup the cost.
"And the X-ray machine?"
"There’s an expensive one priced over 300,000 yuan, but the small one is cheaper, and you can take it for 15,000 yuan. For operating a clinic and buying such diagnostic equipment, you’d need specialized doctors for the medical technology department, right?"
"I have the qualifications myself, so I can operate it."
Li Jingsheng explained.
"Wow, I didn’t expect you to be such a versatile talent! You can buy the X-ray machine; the small one has no issues and is highly precise. Our hospital is currently competing with Qiaobang Hospital, so we’re gritting our teeth to replace old equipment, hence the retirement. As for the color ultrasound, it’s up to you. If the clinic’s usage frequency isn’t high, it’s unnecessary to buy one."
"Alright, I’ll take your advice and buy the small X-ray machine."
Li Jingsheng’s inquiry about the color ultrasound didn’t come with firm intent.
Indeed, color ultrasounds are seldom used in clinics; they are mostly applied in departments like gynecology, obstetrics, and cardiology in large hospitals.
