Chapter 2918: Monopoly of Hegemony Medical Care
When Donald heard this, he thought it was ridiculous.
This guy was the one who caused the economic crisis in the hegemonic country, and now you are asking him to come up with a rescue plan, which is fine.
You even want Chen Mo to be in charge of the execution?
So there is no one left in our hegemony country, right?
Aren’t you really afraid that Chen Mo will do something small and plunge Baguo into bankruptcy crisis again?
"Cough cough..."
Donald coughed lightly and whispered, “Emperor, this is not appropriate, right?
Now that the plan has been finalized, there's no need to let an outsider get involved in such a big matter.
We also have many outstanding economic experts in our country."
Joseph said disdainfully, "Excellent? If they were really that excellent, why did the subprime mortgage crisis occur?
Let me tell you, if it weren’t for the greed of those so-called excellent bastards, the subprime mortgage crisis wouldn’t have happened!!!”
"Let them carry out the plan. Before the bank's assistance arrives, their own families must first have enough to eat.
But Chen Mo was asked to carry out the task, but because of his foreign identity, he didn't dare to touch a penny of the money.
Besides, you are well aware of how terrifying the White Dragon King's identity is. If anyone dares not to do as he says, he will directly short you. Can you withstand it?"
Donald was speechless.
Joseph said solemnly: "Mr. Chen, I absolutely trust you in this matter!
And as long as you can handle this matter well, you will probably be able to turn the situation around with your superiors.
It’s a win-win situation!”
"Emperor Joseph, please wait a moment.
I have come up with a plan, and you still want me to help you implement it?
Are you treating me like a beast of burden?"
Chen Mo said with a smile: "I came here to buy a house.
Regarding real estate, I can help you promote it, there's no problem with that.
As for how the plan is implemented, that is your own business."
Chen Mo is not stupid!
This plan sounds simple.
It's like the sentence above.
In fact, there are too many twists and turns in the middle!
Especially in the environment of a hegemonic country.
There are two factions fighting each other.
No one wants the other party to be too dazzling, so as to prevent the other party's people from being re-elected as emperor.
In his previous life, Paulson wanted to implement the "TRAP" plan, and he had to work very hard to deal with the two factions. He even knelt down to the leader of Joseph's opposing faction. Even so, the plan was revised more than a dozen times before it was finally implemented.
It was not until 2009 that it was finally implemented.
It took a full year for a plan to be proposed and implemented. This was because the subprime mortgage crisis had threatened the foundation of the hegemony, and the two factions had to compromise.
Joseph opened his mouth and asked Chen Mo, a big Xia man, to chew this hard bone, but he didn't give him any benefits. Who would do it?
"Mr. Chen, do you have any concerns?
This is a good thing for you with absolutely no harm, why don't you agree?"
Joseph didn't talk about the benefits, so he just "gave advice".
"Since it's a good thing, let others have it.
I don't like doing good things." Chen Mo laughed mockingly.
Joseph: “…”
After sighing, Joseph said, "What will it take for you to agree?"
"Actually, it's not that things can't be done, but we need to do it slowly, slowly, and in an orderly manner..."
Chen Mo rubbed his fingers as he spoke.
Does this mean... I have to pay extra?!
The corners of Joseph and Donald's mouths twitched wildly.
Damn it! ! !
How much fucking money did they make from the hegemonic country?
You've become the richest man in the world, and you still want money?
Are you a Pixiu?
Only in, not out, right?
"Mr. Chen, you know the current situation of Baguo.
I really can't give you any money.
Moreover, you yourself are worth tens of trillions. Even if I pay you 10 times the market price, it is only a few tens of millions.
You don't see that, do you?"
Joseph sighed.
“Of course I don’t need any reward.
only……"
Chen Mo glanced at Donald.
Joseph immediately said, "Donald, please go out for a moment."
Donald curled his lips, said "OK" helplessly and left.
"Mr. Chen, what do you want? Just tell me." Joseph said.
"It's simple. I'm interested in your country's commercial medical insurance industry. You can act as a matchmaker and help me monopolize this industry." Chen Mo said calmly.
"what?!"
Joseph stood up in an instant.
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
Why is the GDP of a hegemonic country the highest in the world?
Economy, technology and military force are indeed a big part of the reasons.
But the “expensive and inflated” medical expenses also contribute to this!!!
Do you think that all the hegemons drive luxury cars, use expensive mobile phones, and live in single-family mansions?
In fact, medical expenses are the "money-eating beast"!
Last year, in 2007, medical expenses accounted for 17% of the country's GDP, but its life expectancy was at the bottom among developed countries. What is the contrast?
According to Chen Mo's memory, this year, that is, in 2008, the medical expenditure of the hegemonic country will likely account for more than 20%, and by the time Chen Mo was reborn, this proportion had risen to 23%.
The total consumption of Baguo is very terrifying. In 2024, it reached 18.8 trillion Baguo currency. According to the exchange rate at that time, it was close to 150 trillion Daxia currency.
However, commodity consumption was only 6.1 trillion yuan, while medical consumption was as high as 12.7 trillion yuan, accounting for 67.55%!!!
What is this concept?
Most of the money of the hegemons is spent on medical consumer goods rather than on real goods.
This is also why drug abuse and the chaotic phenomenon of prescribing painkillers as candy beans occur in hegemonic countries.
As long as they can make money, the medical giants in the hegemonic countries don’t care whether you live or die.
Even the heavy medical burden may force some people to make difficult decisions - even leave their country.
Jennifer Tiger's story is a microcosm of this. She once went bankrupt because of the treatment of Crohn's disease. Despite her husband's insurance, an emergency intestinal surgery still left her with a debt of 2 US dollars.
Ultimately, despair with the healthcare system pushed her to move to Daxia.
In 2019, Jennifer suffered a cerebrospinal fluid leak due to a fall in Shanghai. She was hospitalized for 5 days and her out-of-pocket expenses were approximately 1300 Ba Guo yuan.
In Baguo, a similar brain surgery could cost as much as 10 Baguo coins. This disparity struck her as absurd.
There are countless similar examples. For example, 25-year-old Jason Jim called an ambulance for a case of jock itch when he was 19 and received a bill of 5 British pounds. This experience made him afraid to see a doctor for many years.
A man named Wang went to the hospital in Baguo because of back pain from work. The doctor examined him for three minutes and touched his waist, then asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
He was directly charged 5670 Baguo currency for medical expenses, which is equivalent to about 4.1 Daxia currency.
Even the locals of the hegemonic country agree that the hegemonic country's medical system is terrible.
But Chen Mo has been coveting the medical industry of the hegemonic country for a long time.
But before, because he was a foreigner, he had no qualifications, resources or connections to enter the hegemonic country and compete with medical giants for money.
It’s different now, since you, Joseph, have come to me on your own initiative, I must cherish this opportunity!!!
If we can really monopolize the hegemonic country's medical industry, it would be equivalent to continuously eating up 20% of the hegemonic country's GDP every year! ! !
Even if Chen Mo succeeds in short selling this time, it won’t smell this good!!!
