Rebirth: The Financial Giant

Lu Ming set the general direction, strategy and tone at the meeting. As for the promotion and implementation of the specific plan, it was left to the people below.

It is foreseeable that once the Science and People's Livelihood Foundation's plan for 500 tertiary hospitals is announced, it will inevitably have a huge impact on some capitalized private hospitals in the country.

Your capital needs to make money and performance indicators.

The hospitals on the Science and Livelihood Fund not only do not seek profits, they even provide certain subsidies to these hospitals to maintain normal operations. It is absolutely clear who is more competitive.

Another is that the indirect transfer payment method of the Science and People's Livelihood Fund is started in the central and western regions of underdeveloped medical areas. The scale is so large that it can greatly alleviate the country's financial expenditure in the field of medical and public health. This kind of payment is beneficial to the country and the people. The country will certainly strongly support this cause.

Lu Ming's goal is very clear. Hospitals rooted in capital will either close down and be eliminated from the competition. The other hand of the Science and People's Livelihood Fund is always ready to acquire and reorganize those private hospitals that cannot survive, so that they can truly move towards inclusive medical care. up the road.

Either those private hospitals will change their policies and give up making profits from the poor people, and target the rich to cut off the rich. The rich are not short of money anyway, and can effectively boost GDP. How wonderful that would be.

Regarding matters in the public sector of medical and health care, the overall direction and strategy has been initially determined at the meeting. It will definitely not be implemented so quickly. Further research and analysis are needed to provide a complete set of solutions, and many details need to be added.

For example, under such a mechanism, if the source of income is suppressed, there will definitely be efforts to reduce expenditures. Reducing expenditures for the sake of reducing expenditures will lead to shabby hospital facilities. This is obviously not good. All of these require the development of a minimum sanitary system. When standards come out, the key is to find a balance point.

On the one hand, this relies on the hospital's internal self-awareness, self-examination, self-blame and responsibility, but at the same time, it is also necessary to introduce a third-party monitoring mechanism that has no interest in the hospital and is directly responsible to the foundation.

Or it may happen that people inside the hospital collude with external patients to find out if they are sick and then pay for it, and then share the profits. Suppressing this phenomenon is very simple. It can be solved technically through quantitative means, and then allocate different weights according to different cases. Minor diseases that do not cost a lot have a smaller weight ratio, doctors get a smaller commission, and serious diseases that cost more have a larger weight. If the ratio is high, the doctor who cures such a patient will receive a higher weight in the performance indicator.

A minor illness makes it easy to fake orders, but the profit potential of an order is small. Unless you win by volume, the probability of exposure will also increase; a serious illness costs a lot, and the profit potential of an order is large, but it is difficult to brush data, and the more aggressive you are, the more exposed you will be. of bigger.

This phenomenon can be effectively suppressed by making the risks and benefits out of proportion through big data and quantitative methods. Big data can both kill people and benefit society. There is no right or wrong in the technology itself. The difference lies in the purpose of the people who use it. That’s all.

In short, major issues related to people's livelihood are very complicated, so we must take our time and not rush.

…

The general direction of medical care was determined, and the second half of the meeting focused on education.

Prior to this, Lu Ming strictly prohibited those under him from reaching out to the field of education.

It’s different now. The nature of the Science and People’s Livelihood Foundation has changed dramatically because it obtained the charter qualification, but its entry into the education field is limited to this foundation. Lu Ming, as another capital, still will not reach out to this field, such as Tiansheng Capital still does not enter.

Lu Ming, who was sitting in the chief position, looked around at the crowd and said: The core of funding for education is to allocate resources to higher education. Previously, funding was given to scientists and leaders in a certain academic field. Now we want to extend it to the group of college students. , such as providing funding for some students’ own research on topics of interest, but it still prefers colleges and universities in underdeveloped areas in the central and western regions, and famous universities in the coast are not short of money.”

Lou Yiyun was thoughtful for a moment, then looked at Lu Ming and said, Chairman, a very real problem is that outstanding students are concentrated in prestigious universities in developed areas.

Hearing this, Lu Ming smiled and said: What we have to do is not to change the real problem. What you are thinking about is whether it is cost-effective to invest so many resources, but the real focus is fairness. There are only so many famous schools, and they all go to So crowded, our country has more than one billion people, but students in the central and western regions are short of geniuses?

In a sense, geniuses are randomly born into families with different financial backgrounds across the country. But once they are born into a poor family, they have to work hundreds or thousands of times harder than those from rich families to achieve the same achievements. The barriers to education faced by poor families have multiplied exponentially, and poor people have short ambitions.

So our job in the field of education is to discover these potential geniuses, help them lower the relative threshold for studying, and give them a lift.

To be specific, we help universities in the central and western regions, including not only using high salaries to dig out the past of some famous teachers and improve their teaching quality; we also set up bursaries for students, and the core indicators are only based on performance. What we want to discover are buried in the A genius from a poor family.”

While Lu Ming paused for a moment, one of the directors attending the meeting spoke: How to judge performance? The current common practice is to use comprehensive performance as an assessment indicator.

Hearing this, Lu Ming shook his head directly and said: Only outstanding talents are selected based on comprehensive performance. Using this indicator alone will make us miss the real genius. For example, let's say a student shows amazing talent in a single subject. , but is extremely mediocre in other subjects, and the overall score is very low, so he is not admitted to a prestigious school and does not get better educational resources, then we are likely to miss a future genius in this field.

Lu Ming added: After all, there are only one or two all-round generalists like Thomas Young in a century, and some geniuses are difficult to discover based on their results. For example, let's say a person has abilities that are far beyond ordinary people. How do you use quantitative performance indicators to discover that kind of insight, logical ability, and genius?”

Everyone at the meeting couldn't help but nodded. In fact, everyone was thinking that Big Boss is actually a genius. Lu Ming is now known as the number one asset manager in the country and is recognized as such. However, he only has a high school education. In terms of grades, A large number of fund managers with so-called professional backgrounds are more dazzling than him, but what next?

Of course, this is what everyone thinks in their hearts, but they definitely won’t say it out loud that the big BOSS comes to distance, and flattery is not the way to do it.

At this time, Lou Yiyun couldn't help but said: Is education only limited to colleges and universities? Should primary and secondary schools be deployed?

Lu Ming said solemnly: Just extend some of the layout incidentally. The population trend is there, and the new population growth is going strong. It is generally believed that the country will usher in negative population growth in ten years. I think this is still too optimistic. Time We have to push forward. We may experience negative growth in the next four to five years. A large number of schools will face the problem of not being able to recruit students in the future. Focus on quality. The most important thing is that the foundation must clearly understand its position. We just Supplementary nature.”

The Science and People's Livelihood Foundation plays a supplementary role in the country's public infrastructure construction. The C position can only be the country, and the annual budget of more than 230 billion seems to be an astronomical figure, but after spreading it out, it is not much money.

Lou Yiyun thought about it and said: With these two new additions, the foundation's original budget will definitely not be enough. Unless some other projects are cut off,... more money will have to be added.

Lu Mingyan said succinctly: Then increase the total budget expenditure and bring the foundation directly to the era of 300 billion expenditure budget.

If it's not enough, add more. If you have money, be bold!

The meeting continued for about ten minutes, and after it ended, Lu Ming left the foundation headquarters.
