Chapter 706: Chapter 628: Marriage Alliance_2

The Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College are part of the same institution. They directly administer six hospitals, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Fuwai Hospital, Cancer Hospital, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Blood Diseases Hospital, and Skin Diseases Hospital. Each of these is among the top in the country. In total, this system is home to over twenty academicians and over forty Outstanding Young Talents.

Nandu Medical University still has a long way to go if it wants to rival the Peking Union.

Apart from creating a super medical system, the merger of Nandu Medical University and Sanbo Hospital is also a measure taken by Nandu Province to prevent Sanbo Hospital from being acquired by Hospital 301. Once integrated into Nandu Medical University system, it will be much more complex to be acquired due to numerous factors.

Therefore, incorporating Sanbo Hospital into Nandu Medical University system is beneficial in every aspect.

It aligns with the provincial government’s intentions and meets the needs of both Nandu Medical University and Sanbo Hospital.

Yang Ping, the rising young star at Sanbo Hospital, currently conducts stage three clinical trials on external spinal fixators in Europe, America, and Japan. This is a remarkable research project.

A university’s rise to global prominence does not depend on empty words but rather on its academic influence.

Developed countries have very stringent controls on clinical trials. There has been no precedent for Chinese drugs or medical devices undergoing clinical trials in the United States, let alone simultaneous trials in Europe, America, and Japan. It is truly groundbreaking.

If Sanbo Hospital could be incorporated as a directly-affiliated hospital, the academic achievements of Sanbo Hospital in the future would be branded with the seal of Nandu Medical University.

"It’s not only feasible but needs to be done as soon as possible to prevent any mishaps," Professor Su had suggested the incorporation of Sanbo into Nandu Medical University system quite some time ago.

"Elder Xiang called me yesterday. He had read Yang Ping’s new project proposal and couldn’t stop praising it. He said the youngster’s future is immeasurable, and the project could get the green light all the way. It’s rare to receive such high praise from the Old Academician. You see, I received another report from Xia Changjiang. Yang Ping’s lab wants to recruit a doctor who returned from studying in Japan. This doctor listed six conditions for the job. Xia Changjiang asked whether we should recruit him or their hospital should. He also asked me to reply quickly, or they would proceed with the recruitment," Principal Ruo handed the report to Professor Su.

After reading, Professor Su laughed: "Young people are straightforward, listing their conditions clearly."

"I am quite familiar with Tang Shun, he is a talent. His mentor used to be a professor at Kyoto University, who was then poached by Tokyo University. The Japanese professor’s stem cell research ranks first in the world, and he is a Nobel laureate. Tang Shun also wanted to return to China, but he ran into a brick wall at several universities. Mainly because he was too direct, talking about money and benefits upfront, which put people off. This time, he found Sanbo Hospital, meeting the right person. I heard Yang Ping agreed immediately," Principal Ruo had done a simple investigation of Tang Shun.

Nandu Medical University’s alumni are all around the world. Investigating someone in the medical circle is as easy as making a few phone calls.

"Xia Changjiang is currying favor with you. Hurry up and settle this matter. I guess he sensed some danger and doesn’t want to become someone else’s branch campus. Thus, he wanted to join Nandu Medical University that can safeguard their autonomy while being backed by a university. Why wouldn’t they want that? If they became someone else’s branch campus, they might not be as free," Professor Su analyzed deeply.

Principal Ruo nodded: "Exactly, otherwise, for a person like Tang Shun, why would they discuss whether we should introduce him or they should? Simply they should introduce him and that’s it. After thinking about it, I think it’s more appropriate for Nandu Medical University to make the recruitment. According to Xia Changjiang, the person will belong to Nandu Medical University, but work in the Sanbo Hospital lab. We pay the money to recruit people, to work for them? Xia Changjiang is really calculating."

"Old Ruo, seeing this trend, wouldn’t Nandu Medical University and Sanbo become one family eventually?" Professor Su was overjoyed, as the development of the event was exactly as he foresaw.

If Yang Ping wasn’t willing to leave Sanbo, then the best way was to incorporate Sanbo into the system of Nandu Medical University, giving him a larger platform.

"If it weren’t for considering that we’ll be one family in the future, I wouldn’t do such a stupid thing. Spend a huge sum to poach talent for others? Yang Ping has already agreed to Tang Shun, I could only agree too. An eight million yuan relocation fee, two million yuan annual salary, exceptional promotion to professorship, and of course staff establishment. It’s basic. Didn’t we offer Lin Lan a 900,000 yuan annual salary, 2.2 million yuan relocation fee when we recruited her, and directly promoted her to professorship, principal investigator? Tang Shun has an article as the first author on both the Science and Nature journals."

Principal Ruo highly values talent.

"Old Su, you have a sharp eye. When you first mentioned Yang Ping to me, he didn’t seem to stand out as much. I was curious and wondered if you had a hidden agenda. But now, this young man has continuously made significant breakthroughs. Aside from his articles in top-tier journals, his external spinal fixation technology is globally remarkable. If not for his limited years of experience, this would qualify as an academician-level accomplishment."

Professor Su just laughed: "The external spinal fixation technology? He whipped that up in just a few months. That’s just a small thing. The real game changer is his cultivation of muscle with stem cells. His concept of intricate anatomy was praised by Elder Xiang who called me after a few days of research. He said this young man understands the anatomy of muscles at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels, using single-layer cell slices to map the complex structure of muscle fibers, including blood vessels, nerves, and lymph vessels. This lays the foundation for the targeted cultivation or 3D printing of muscles. His research has unlimited potential in the future."

Principal Ruo was quite worried: "Isn’t the young man biting off more than he can chew? The topic is massive!"

Professor Su shook his head: "Aim high and far? That’s because you are not familiar with him. If you knew him well, you would not think so. The technical difficulty of external spinal fixation technology is very high. Many people around the world are researching it but give up due to the difficulty. Even in Russia, the birthplace of Ilizarov technology, Ilizarov Hospital has made no progress in researching this technology. Yang Ping, in just a few months, with just a few people in his department, has achieved results. This level of ability can be described as terrifying. I have a hunch that in the field of stem cell cultivation of muscles, this young man will make a shocking move. Let me tell you, not only us are coveting Yang Ping for Sanbo Hospital. If you are interested, act swiftly. If you’re slow, he’ll be taken by someone else."

It is well known that Professor Su loves talent, but it’s rare for him to be so keen on a young person.

Not only did he strongly advise Nandu Medical University to ally with Sanbo Hospital, but he also strongly suggested Nandu Medical University to nominate Yang Ping as an Outstanding Young Talent.

"I have been thinking these days, the timing is ripe. I have to have a good chat with Xia Changjiang, to fight for Yang Ping to be recognized as an Outstanding Young Talent. Elder Xiang said he would take the lead." Principal Ruo took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully.

If he fights for Yang Ping’s eligibility as an Outstanding Young Talent, it would be more reasonable for Elder Xiang to take responsibility. After all, Principal Ruo has to avoid any appearance of favoritism.

"But Elder Xiang hasn’t met Yang Ping yet?"

Professor Su suddenly thought of this. Old Academician and Yang Ping never met before.

Principal Ruo said: "The Old Academician only cares about results, not the person. He said that he had looked at Yang Ping’s academic achievements and believed that he could fight for him. Identifying talent through their achievements is the Old Academician’s consistent principle. So whether they have met before or not doesn’t matter."

The Old Academician truly has integrity.

"Don’t underestimate the Old Academician for not meeting Yang Ping, he could have been paying attention to the young man for a while. Yang Ping collaborates closely with the Digital Human lab of Nandu Medical University. The Professor He from that lab is a student of the Old Academician, wouldn’t he know about Yang Ping’s situation?"

Principal Ruo reassures Professor Su not to worry too much about this.

Professor Su thought it made sense. Yang Ping frequently interacts with the Digital Human Laboratory of Nandu Medical University, providing a lot of data for Professor He to construct the functional human being in a digital form.

"I’ll arrange a meeting with Xia Changjiang, and then we can all discuss together? How does that sound?" Principal Ruo proposed.

Of course, Professor Su agreed. They were all old friends, and a good discussion sitting around the same table, making plans together, could prevent Sanbo Hospital, right on their doorstep, from being taken by others.
