" " after citing the meeting that that officer of loose former Municipal Health Bureau recalls, has just taken off Lao Hou of the bright red flower, a meeting-place, has been taken away. At that time, the Living proprietor was amazed by there "

Nearly pensioners Hou YingShan, has worked in the central hospital for nearly 30 years. In 1992, Hou YingShan of 17 years was promoted as the Vice Presidents of this institute to take up a job as a doctor in the basic unit, in charge of the purchase work of logistics, medicines, medical equipment. In 2000, Hou YingShan ran for the centre director and succeeded publicly, since this took on this duty until the thing took place.

The material of the central hospital showed, the Hou Great Britain mountain had made brilliant achievements in 6: Newly build modernized hospital building of 16,300 square meters, the income has doubled than 2000, having introduced the talents with sophisticated large quantities of medical skill, certainly, it is multi to include buying 100 even more (set) Medical equipment.

Prominent achievement, bring uncountable honors, include " Chinese May 1st Labour Medal " for Hou too among them .

The seizing of no sign, develop into the slander quickly, everyone feels insecure in the central hospital.

" ZhiPing Sun, president of agency, of central hospital say, " four redress greedy the intersection of office and already the intersection of hospital and original file and account implement close down and freeze, and need to inquire the staff members in the hospital at any time on the details of the case. "

After mid-July, " Hou YingShan is caught because of accepting bribery of Siemens " News,spread slowly loose cities former.

" the wind is from Germany "

Since March of 2006, loose former Municipal Health Bureau has launched" bribing against the commerce" while medicine, medical instrument are purchased Special administration be taken action, and be more launch at the same timed if you can't examine, take action inside since checking, what inside report,etc. to every large hospital.

"If not Siemens meets accident in Germany, Hou YingShan's question, we can not probably find. " Above-mentioned officer of health bureau think, inform China because of German side some the intersection of Chinese and the intersection of hospital and list of administrative staff that Siemens bribe, China can investigate and prosecute the grafter searching for by following the clues just now.

Hou YingShan's suspicion case of accepting bribes is detected directly and done by the anti corruption agency of the Supreme People's Procuratorate of Jilin Province, just under the arrangement of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the personnel in charge of the case of the procuratorial organ of Gongzhuling of well balanced area could make sure to handle a case in the strange land, and under all secret prerequisites, it is loose and original to lower suddenly.

This newspaper learns, Hou YingShan is detained in Gongzhuling, still goes on to its investigation of case now. The matters regarding bribing in Siemens, it is surnamed that staff members have been summoned to court and assist to investigate by the group for handling special cases that it is yellow that already there is Siemens Changchun office before this.

"This thing does not have newer situation that appear at present, but this staff member has not found any question in the internal auditing of Siemens either, so he is still continuing working. " Siemens the intersection of media and public relation the intersection of manager and WeiQun Xiao tell reporter whether " whom you inquire bribe concrete fact of case, mountain of Great Britain, Hou about Siemens, because the business is responsible for the range to restrict, public relation department is no aware of this media. "

The reporter investigates that learns, the medical equipment procurement contracts of Siemens and central hospital have two forms in all from beginning to end. 2005, under the management of Hou, through the way of competitive bidding central hospital, buy the image forming system of a set of nuclear magnetic resonance of Siemens, cost is 1,350,000 dollars. On April 29 this year, this institute purchases the angiography system of a set of digital subtraction (DSa) of Siemens again through the way of competitive bidding. On following May 18, Hou YingShan also signed one with import and export corporation of a foreign trade of Harbin and entrusted the contract which is imported this apparatus on behalf of the central hospital.

After Hou YingShan meets accident, are laid with this single procurement contract at up to several million yuan of Siemens aside temporarily. Contract this continue, carry out, WeiQun Xiao, public relation manager of Siemens, with ignorant for reveal refusing.

A middle administrative staff of the central hospital thinks, even if is in this case at present, all clauses of this contract, establish. "Because when the contract was signed, Hou YingShan was still a legal legal representative of our academy. "

Bid that is utilized

Though Hou drastically, have the courage to think and act in operating and management of the hospital, in counterparts' eyes, Lao Hou is not intrepid, and a bit overcautious, seasoned and skillful.

In 2000, the Hou Great Britain mountain is honoured with the centre director; Meanwhile, the bid system that the loose former market medical system begins to pursue medicine on a large scale and the medical instrument is purchased. "But Lao Hou one is the model who carries out this system. "

That officer of loose former Municipal Health Bureau recalls, the calling for bid each time of the central hospital, feelings for somebody are all open and clear, have many even, Hou invite the intersection of Municipal Health Bureau and discipline inspection commission voluntarily and municipal discipline inspection committee, city check unhealthy tendencies and malpractices run and the intersection of city and the intersection of notarial office,etc. and many department comrade attend and can call for bid together, try hard to recommend the outside to supervise.

In bid of the image forming system of the nuclear magnetic resonance, no matter disclose in the machine format courtyard of previous market survey, the group of the central hospital forms the opinion and submits to the health bureau and awaits the reply, hold expert's hearing to prove, Municipal Health Bureau gives a written reply, holds the competitive bidding, until Siemens wins a bid, " all these happen before our eyes " . That intercellar layer administrative supervisor of the central hospital, does not still think so far in which link act of accepting bribe of the first rank YingShan appear.

"In fact, because the apparatus of the hospital is purchased must pass bid way to finish, so behavior of almost all the briberies, all take place before the bid procedure. " A personage in the know of the hospital of oil field of Jilin reveals, if is the bid that was carried on in 2005, then both sides may have assigned the supply and demand privately into a price agreement in 2004, and once the president asserted before this which family 's apparatus to select and purchase, so above-mentioned all bid links become furnishings.

Take S medical system as examples, direct against the authoritativeness of president's previous market survey, the leading group of the institute will not have different suggestions - -The hospital pays independently, has said and does not include in the office - -Say expert capital S fine,should high quality and favourable price - -Except S, all requirements of the buyer's that the products of the company of open competitive bidding of other participation, misfit finally - -S achieves one's goal and wins a bid. And in the the knock down price, include, bribe fund, because condition that call for bid body made-to-order according to the intersection of S and the intersection of medical system and quantity.

After Hou YingShan is detained, rumour has it its amount of accepting bribes is between 400,000 and 4 million in the loose original area. At present, know in recent with single business this of Siemens, YingShan Hou to benefit ahead of time still. Above-mentioned in the know personage point out these go on, accept bribes method that amount calculate correspond to reality while being proportional according to the intersection of instrument and several of price. "Usually, the price of the machine is the sky-high price in each distributor quotation there. Once both sides approve, sell the association of dealers and quote a bottom price, but all price markup parts above here, can all take away to purchase the sides. " This personage says, " the price of the machine is the most high trade secret among each distributor, needn't worry wearing and helping. As for the amount of money of the sales invoice, can open at will. "
