Chapter 188: Achieving Basic Financial Freedom, Concern from Elder Liu_2
He is usually responsible for the company's security issues.
If Su Qianqian has major event arrangements, at least eight people are deployed each time to ensure her safety.
After Golden Entertainment Interactive Company made its first fortune with Su Qianqian, with the entertainment industry expert Li Lao commanding, the scale of the company also expanded rapidly.
A complete set of mechanisms for training, incubating, packaging, and promoting new talents has been preliminarily established.
According to the strengths and characteristics of each signed artist, different star images are created.
Currently, the entertainment company Golden Entertainment Interactive has taken shape.
The top star is Su Qianqian, the middle-tier stars have successfully incubated five people, and as for the lower-tier artists, there are many more. Over forty.
As the scale expands, the expenses also increase.
Of course, the company's income has also become more and more terrifying.
Zhou Can had initially mortgaged three houses, and the money borrowed has long been repaid.
He has received nearly thirty million in dividends in total.
It can only be said that the entertainment industry both burns money and makes money.
According to this trend, next year's dividends for the two shareholders may exceed one hundred million. That is, about fifty million each.
Zhou Can has now already achieved preliminary financial freedom and is rightfully a high-earning, handsome, and wealthy man.
Currently in this province, individuals with a net asset of twenty million belong to the initial stage of financial freedom.
Basically, as long as you don't recklessly ruin yourself, even if you just put this money in the bank and live off the interest, you can live better than most people.
The salary and performance bonuses that Su Qianqian receives are also quite substantial.
As for how much, Zhou Can never asked.
The BMW 7 she now drives, she bought it herself.
Also, the watches, clothes, and even the shaver that she regularly gives to Zhou Can are all paid for by herself.
That watch, Zhou Can checked, has a market price of at least three hundred thousand.
Each time, Zhou Can would caution her, there's no need to buy these luxury items.
Yet, she would smile and say "I know", and then she'd still give him expensive gifts next time.
Looking at herself, aside from that BMW, the clothes she wears and the jewelry she wears, all are mid-range products.
This means, she is frugal towards herself but is exceptionally generous towards Zhou Can.
She has repeatedly stated that during her most difficult times, Zhou Can did not hesitate to sell his house to save her. Now, she has the capability, it's her turn to pamper him.
What else could Zhou Can say to that?
Of course, he is happy to enjoy and accept these sweet, joyful days.
...
Zhou Can's residency in cardiothoracic surgery ended very quickly.
Three months, neither long nor short.
During the last month, ever since he showcased his skills in the thymoma resection surgery, it became much easier for him to have hands-on practice opportunities in cardiothoracic surgery.
Director Le, Director Xue, Deputy Director Lu and others recognized his skills, gradually gave him more responsibilities, and ultimately let him participate in the core surgery tasks.
His training was indeed vigorous.
This might relate to the day Zhou Can, to save Medical Officer Hu Kan, carried him around seeking doctors, conducting tests, and sending him for emergency treatment.
After Medical Officer Hu Kan was transferred to the general ward, when Zhou Can visited him, he didn't say a word of thanks.
But the way he looked at Zhou Can was as tender as looking at his own son.
Zhou Can suspected that the extensive surgical practice opportunities given by Director Le, Director Xue, and others might have been secretly arranged by Medical Officer Hu Kan.
Of course, there's no evidence for this, it's just speculation.
No one can be sure.
It might also be because Medical Officer Hu Kan suddenly fell ill, increasing the surgical workload for the chief physicians in thoracic surgery.
Thus, Zhou Can, a young talent with good surgical skills, rightly seized this opportunity to advance.
It must be said, the fastest way for surgeons to grow is through hands-on practice, performing surgeries on patients.
Many issues can only be discovered and rapidly improved upon through practical operation.
During this last month, Zhou Can's surgical skills in thoracic surgery indeed improved day by day.
By the end of the residency, he was capable of independently completing most of the thoracic surgeries below Level 3. Level 4 surgeries generally require multiple doctors to work together.
He has already completed the core parts of more than twenty Level 4 surgeries.
These achievements are what many deputy medical officers strive for over twenty to thirty years.
Apart from his rapidly improved surgical skills, his theoretical knowledge need not be mentioned.
During this month, he slept no more than four hours a day.
Often going to work with huge dark circles under his eyes.
Unknown to colleagues, they thought he and his girlfriend indulged too much.
Only he himself knew how he had been coping for the past month. As soon as work ended, he plunged into a sea of books and a sea of exam problems.
Even the practice of quick knife techniques had to be temporarily interrupted.
Because time was pressing.
If he failed the comprehensive medical exam and could not receive his Medical Officer certification, it would greatly impact his future prospects.
It would also be extremely disadvantageous for his subsequent growth.
Matters need prioritizing.
The most important tasks must be done first.
Once he passed the exam and obtained both certificates, he would truly have made it through.
Then, he would no longer be a Medical Officer but a licensed physician.
With prescription rights, the remaining one year of his training would be completely different from now.
Currently, even for prescribing an order, he had to write the name of a senior doctor.
His status was barely higher than that of an intern.
Thinking of earning from writing medical cases is ludicrous. Resident trainees only receive a basic salary and some overtime pay. Participating in surgeries for a commission? Don't even think about it.
If he failed this time, he would be set back by at least two years.
And according to the experience shared by seniors, failing once makes it very hard to pass on the second attempt.
Therefore, he was willing to risk his old life to give it a fight.
Passing the exam would also mean not letting down Director Xue for her help.
She spent nearly two weeks helping him select questions and knowledge points, often guiding Zhou Can through difficult spots in his study. Her assistance to Zhou Can was immense.
…
After completing his training in Cardiothoracic Surgery, Zhou Can entered the Digestive Department.
Digestive Medicine was precisely his weak area; training for two months in this department would enormously assist him in his second comprehensive medical examination.
Perhaps because Zhou Can's reputation was already significant.
Therefore, on his first day reporting to the Digestive Department, a Director Doctor with the surname Jia took him directly into his group to personally mentor Zhou Can.
Enjoying such special treatment, Zhou Can felt very pleased.
In the previous departments where he trained, almost every time he entered a new department, he had to start from scratch.
Striving for opportunities to demonstrate performance, then gaining the appreciation and trust of senior doctors, gradually opening up the situation.
This time entering Digestive Surgery, being directly mentored by a director saved him a lot of time.
From the first day, he could enter into an efficient learning mode.
In the office, Director Jia, over sixty years old, was slender, with a clear complexion, bright eyes, and a radiance of kindness.
This was the first impression Director Jia made on Zhou Can.
Senior doctors are often rehired by hospitals.
The training cycle for doctors is too long.
It's hard to train them for thirty to forty years and just when they have reached a peak in various skills, they reach retirement age. This is truly regrettable.
For the hospital and society, it is a huge loss.
Thus, someone invented a reemployment policy.
After directors retire, as long as they are not incompetent, the hospital usually notifies them in advance. They are asked not to be employed by other hospitals, but to be rehired by their own hospital to continue working in their original positions.
Most doctors, having deep feelings for the hospital they worked decades in, almost always agree.
Director Jia called Zhou Can to his office alone, definitely having matters to discuss.
"Xiao Zhou, do you know why I put you in my group on your first day in the Digestive Department, personally mentoring you?"
Director Jia asked him with a smile.
"I don't know. Please enlighten me!"
Zhou Can was very respectful.
"Because Deputy Director Liu from General Surgery is a good friend of mine, he personally recommended you. He said you are a promising talent with a gift in medicine and good medical ethics. He asked me to train you well."
Director Jia revealed this, probably not to make Zhou Can grateful to Deputy Director Liu.
But to make Zhou Can value this hard-to-come-by training opportunity.
"Deputy Director Liu has been too kind to me! I didn't expect that after leaving General Surgery for more than a year, he still remembers me."
Zhou Can was deeply moved after hearing this.
In the ranks of doctors, there may be people with bad intentions, people who for money and personal benefit forsake conscience and medical ethics. However, the vast majority of doctors are good.
They devote their lives silently to treating patients.
