Chapter 290: The Hospital Play of the Lord Seongju (4)
The Vice Minister of Health and Welfare finally realized the grand ambition that Vice Chairman Wang Se-kyung harbors.
Just as Ha Soo-young monopolized food, semiconductors, electricity, and communications, he also wants to monopolize the medical system.
In Korea right now, all four of those industries are in Ha Soo-young’s hands. He has achieved a perfect monopoly, not even 99%, but 100%.
“Vice President… It wasn’t just that you wanted to be the overwhelming number one.”
“First place……”
Wang Se-gyeong muttered lightly, lost in regret as if recalling old memories.
The young minister felt goosebumps run down his spine at the sight of his gloomy expression and his youthful years of experience.
“There was something like this once upon a time. It was when Seohae Group and Segyeong Group were competing for first place in their respective business sectors. Lee Chang-young said this.”
“…….”
“They must be happy now that they’ve won the first place they’ve been hoping for, but they’ll be first again soon. Until then, enjoy yourselves. At that time, Segyeong Group won first place in the real estate and construction sectors.”
It would not be a good idea to suddenly bring up a glorious moment from the past without a reason.
The vice minister’s hunch was correct.
“I told you that what I wanted wasn’t first place.”
“Then what did you say…?”
“There is no such thing as no rank.”
“…….”
“Doesn’t being number one mean that it’s a flea market where there are also number two, number three, and number four? I didn’t want to be number one, I wanted to be the only merchant in the market. I don’t have any other competitors, and I do everything from start to finish.”
“…….”
“Lee Chang-young, because of that difference, you lost to me in the real estate and construction sectors where you were doing well. When I said this, he seemed to be taken aback and just laughed.”
I’ve heard many people say that after suffering from a terminal illness and recovering, they retired from the business world and became different people.
I heard that the greed of the entrepreneur who had built a huge Segyeong Group single-handedly had all disappeared, and he had become a medical professional who cared for and cherished patients and their families like a gentle bodhisattva.
He not only said no, but also showed no interest in group work.
They say that all the dividends that come in are being used solely for medical charity work.
But now, in the eyes of the Vice Minister, the grand longing that Wang Se-gyeong once harbored in her heart had not subsided.
It was just that everything that was inside it had been emptied and new things had been put in, but the enormity of the longing remained the same.
“Is it old man’s greed? Greed? Do you think it’s old man’s greed?”
“no.”
“But that’s what your expression looks like.”
The vice minister made an excuse, sweating profusely.
“You misunderstand.”
“Whether it’s a misunderstanding or sincerity, it doesn’t matter. I think that in order to raise the quality of medical services in this country to the highest level, it is most desirable for our Ha Soo-young Medical Foundation to monopolize the medical market.”
“Mr. Vice President, however, allowing private hospitals to replace a country’s medical system will cause great problems for future generations.”
“That’s probably the case for ordinary people. Our CEO Ha Su-young is definitely not that kind of person.”
Wang Se-gyeong clicked her tongue inwardly.
There are still people who don’t know how much Ha Soo-young has transcended worldly desires.
“Do you still not trust the man who donated all kinds of weapons to the Navy at a cost of hundreds of trillions of won?”
“I’m just talking about the later generations.”
“I don’t know what kind of children the chairman will have in the future, but at least he won’t fail in raising his children. For generations to come.”
The story has become unnecessarily long.
Wang Se-kyung decided not to exchange emotional sentences any more.
“Just imagine this. Isn’t it exciting to imagine every major general hospital in the country having a particle accelerator treatment machine?”
“…….”
“I will take responsibility for the hospitals acquired by our foundation and introduce the Ipjimyeong treatment device. The group will suffer significant financial losses as well, but Chairman Ha Su-young is someone who will open his wallet for the ‘patients admitted to my hospital.’”
“It would be difficult to provide it to other hospitals in a rental format, right?”
“Would you entrust that expensive treatment device to someone whose management and security you can’t completely trust, just to collect a small rental fee?”
The vice minister’s shoulders hunched as Wang Se-gyeong looked at him with incredulous eyes.
“It’s better to leave the fish to the cat. If you leave it in someone else’s hands, it’s obvious that someone will try to steal it or look inside, so why should you do that? After all, who would blame the Ministry of Health and Welfare? Why are you being so greedy when it comes to medical policies?”
“I’m sorry. I was impatient and made a slip of the tongue.”
“You should get in trouble for making a slip of the tongue. Go back and wait quietly.”
“Yes. Please forgive me.”
“Oh, do you want to get scolded even louder? Get up now.”
When Wang Se-gyeong quietly glared at him, the vice minister, oppressed by the atmosphere, stood up hesitantly from his seat.
“I won’t scold you too harshly. I’ll scold you just enough to handle it, so reflect on your actions.”
Only then was the vice minister able to relax a little.
“Yes, I understand. I apologize for upsetting you again with my slip of the tongue.”
“I’m being more lenient now because I’ve grown up in the medical industry. When I was a businessman, if someone made ridiculous demands, I wouldn’t even consider them human and wouldn’t even deal with them.”
The vice minister apologized several more times before barely leaving the vice president’s office.
‘shit’
In the end, I didn’t get any income.
The attempt to induce surgeons and other undesirable doctors to be dispatched to other hospitals by Suyeong Hospital has failed, and now the four major general hospitals must wait patiently for their general hospital status to be revoked.
As if I were a prisoner, tied up tight, watching the knife slowly creep towards my neck.
***
It wasn’t long before the vice minister learned what Wang Se-gyeong’s suit was.
So, on the way back, when we had only driven a few kilometers from the hospital parking lot.
“Vice Minister! A surprise official announcement has been made at the swimming hospital! Looking at the time, it has only been a few minutes since the Vice Minister left the Vice President’s office!”
“Surprise official? What’s the content? Wait, really?”
The vice minister’s face turned pale as an image suddenly took shape.
“We plan to take over hospitals that are having difficulty operating without restrictions, and we will manage all hospitals at an equal level according to the foundation’s principles. The treatment of hospitalized patients cannot be an exception… ”
The particle cluster command therapy device is a universal treatment device with a treatment cost of over 1 billion won.
With just one treatment, all cancer cells in the body will be ‘erased’.
Even if there is a cancer cell that wants to metastasize, it is completely destroyed without a single cell remaining.
From the cancer’s point of view, it has to start over from the beginning to kill the host.
Because of this, patients were making reservations at Cheongdam Swimming Hospital and Guro Swimming Hospital and were eagerly waiting for their turn.
It was okay not to have money.
Because the treatment cost support policy of the swimming hospital was also applied to the inpatient treatment device.
Rather, it is a situation where wealthy patients want to abolish the treatment cost support policy and compete purely on money.
“The people are eagerly waiting for Suyeong Hospital to merge with other large hospitals……”
The vice minister has already had a headache.
He came to persuade other hospitals to normalize their operations, but he made this announcement as soon as he left the hospital.
If we go back like this, the minister will break down in a huge way.
How much did you hurt the swimming pool hospital that you brought this up right after breaking up, it was obvious that you were laying the joint down.

“Open the medical market.”
“Allow for-profit hospitals completely.”
“Why is there no freedom of medicine in a liberal democratic country?”
“We want to live. We want to be healed.”
“The government must guarantee the people’s right to treatment.”
“What is the medical market control for? For-profit hospitals for whom?”
“Stop allowing for-profit hospitals that are just for the benefit of conglomerates! Allow for-profit hospitals that are truly for the people!”
The public was not entirely stupid.
Usually, they are fooled by propaganda and fabrication and misjudge what is beneficial to them, but this time, they made the right decision.
Protests demanding complete freedom at swimming pools continued day after day.
It was a moment when the lobbying efforts of conglomerates such as Seohae Hospital to make the medical industry their future source of income were in vain.
The sight of the public holding picket signs and protesting to allow the for-profit hospital project they had been secretly promoting for so long left them with mixed feelings.
Even the benefits were only given to swimming hospitals, and they were told to just quietly shake their hands and leave the medical market.
“Condemn the Ministry of Health! Condemn it!”
“We need a swimming hospital! We don’t need any other large hospitals at all!”
“Make Vice Chairman Wang Se-kyung the Minister of Health and Welfare for life! Make the National Health Insurance Corporation the Finance Department of the Ha Su-young Medical Foundation! Make the four major general hospitals without a single surgeon into Suyeong Hospitals!”
The flames of madness that could not be extinguished with a fire extinguisher continued day after day.
Patients and their families facing death were desperate.
If more inhalation therapy devices were deployed, more people would be able to receive treatment in a timely manner and save their lives.
Former patients who found new life through the Ipjimyeong treatment machine and their families also actively participated in the protest.
Because the treatment device showed excellent effects not only on cancer but also on antigenic diseases (it could completely eradicate specific targeted bacteria and viruses), it was supported by a wide range of people.

Ha Soo-young, who visited the Ministry of Health and Welfare building, looked down at the large number of people protesting outside the building’s outer wall together with the minister.
To avoid confusion, he visited the building quietly by helicopter.
“Minister, you’ve been through a lot lately. Vice President, didn’t you think things would get this big? Isn’t it because you broke the news to the press so hastily that it’s causing such a fuss?”
“I appreciate your understanding.”
The minister desperately tried to please Ha Su-young while sweating coldly inside.
After seeing the android army that was active during the Army Prosecution Opposition Party’s Trinity Coup, Ha-young became the most feared person in this country to the Minister.
“I’ve been through a lot of protests, so I know it’s really hard. It’s hard to rest or work comfortably in my own home or workplace, and I have to suffer from unwanted external noise. That’s why I don’t go into central politics and just stay in the Cheongdam-dong district council. I’m just the right fit for this.”
‘What a bowl of this size.’
The minister thought to himself that it was a really bad joke, but he kept that feeling well hidden.
“Congressman, is it true that you came to me to legally and legitimately guarantee other hospital takeover activities as announced by Vice President Wang Se-gyeong?…”
“I don’t know what the Vice President is asking for. I’m the Chairman, but I don’t know much about the hospital’s practical operations. I just give general directions and give money.”
The minister had a hard time hiding his thoughts about why he came.
“I’m just curious. The four major general hospitals don’t have any surgeons right now, right? It’s basically like the surgery department itself has disappeared.”
“Well, that’s true.”
“But why do you keep the general hospital tier the same? You don’t give our swimming hospital the tier of a higher-level hospital.”
The minister felt a suffocating pressure.
The thought flashed through my head, “They came here to pick on me!”
“Those hospitals, you should quickly remove the word ‘comprehensive’ and demote them to ‘hospitals.’ As someone working in the medical industry, I can’t stand this kind of lazy administration, so I’ve come running like this.”
