Recently, a leading internet company in Beijing Zhongguancun Chaoyang Park launched a large-scale medical project—the new comprehensive hospital with a total investment of approximately 6 billion yuan has officially received approval for construction.

This project is quite interesting. The hospital is positioned as a tertiary comprehensive, Sino-foreign joint venture for profit, with a planned capacity of 800 beds, focusing on AI intelligent healthcare and precision medicine transformation. Notably, the requirement that foreign doctors account for no less than 20% is relatively rare among similar projects in China. From winning the land bid in December last year to receiving official approval from the Beijing Municipal Health Commission in January this year, the entire approval process has been quite swift.

According to the plan, the project will break ground in November 2026 and be completed by November 2029, with a construction area of approximately 258,300 square meters. The first phase has an approved investment of 3.717 billion yuan, with subsequent supporting infrastructure and medical equipment investments planned.

This is not the company's first step into cross-industry ventures. They have previously made inroads into physical medical fields such as women and children’s health and oncology. This project can be seen as a key implementation of their AI + healthcare strategy, transitioning from online to offline—by introducing artificial intelligence technology and precision medicine solutions, they aim to open new competitive avenues in tumor treatment. To some extent, this reflects a new exploratory approach by internet giants in the healthcare sector.

6 billion to build a hospital? Internet companies really dare to do everything, hopefully they won't mess it up --- Is AI healthcare just hype or does it really have some skills? We'll have to wait a few years to find out --- Foreign doctors account for 20%... approval process is okay, but how the subsequent operation goes is another story --- AI and precision medicine again, sounds impressive, but the waters in healthcare are too deep --- From online to offline, internet giants really want to take it all --- Completion in 2029... it's hard to say how AI will progress by then --- 800 beds and 250,000 square meters, this scale is indeed not small, just see if it can survive later

60 billion to build a hospital, internet giants are really wealthy, just not sure if they can eventually make a profit --- Foreign doctors account for over 20%? This is indeed rare domestically, seems like exploring a new approach --- Getting approval from the Health Commission just over a month after land bidding? Is the approval process really efficient or are there connections? --- AI + healthcare has been talked about for years, finally this time it’s really going into action --- Completion in 2029, how long can this hospital business last... --- The tumor treatment market is indeed large, but with giants rushing in, smaller medical institutions will probably have an even harder time --- A tertiary general hospital with 800 beds, quite large, but operating costs are astronomical --- Joint venture profit-oriented... this nature is indeed special, profitability depends on whether the market is willing to pay --- From women and children to tumors and then to general hospitals, the healthcare ambitions of internet companies seem truly grand --- Precise medicine conversion sounds good, but the key is that doctors, equipment, and operations all require real expertise

Investing 6 billion in healthcare... Internet companies are really starting to all in the health sector. AI + healthcare has been talked about for so long, and finally someone is actually putting real money into it. But whether it can be implemented is the key. The setting that foreign doctors account for 20% is quite interesting. What's the story behind such a fast approval process? After all the groundwork, they still want a piece of the pie in oncology. The idea is very clear. Opening in 2029? We'll have to wait and see... Can the capital enthusiasm last until then? Can these joint-venture hospitals truly serve patients well, rather than just harvesting profits? That's a question. With so many giants rushing into the healthcare field, in the end, it's still about operations and technology. The more money you pour in, the less likely you are to make mistakes. Building a tertiary hospital in three years—impressive speed... How tough must the construction team be?

6 billion to build a hospital, are internet giants really determined to sell medical tokens? --- Foreign doctors start at 20% allocation, how much money does it take to expedite this approval... --- AI + Precision Medicine, sounds like it's just about charging an IQ tax, let's wait and see the results --- From selling vegetables to risking lives, doing everything, really bold --- Completed only in 2029? Then whether I buy this concept coin depends on the marketing --- Opening a new competitive direction in tumor treatment... means land grabbing in the early stages? --- 800 beds equipped with AI medical care, can it truly treat patients or just a new way to cut leeks? --- Laughing out loud, internet giants are really getting into healthcare, is the next step issuing tokens for fundraising? --- Such fast approval, it either means the project is awesome or the connections are strong --- Wait, a Sino-foreign joint venture for profit... does this mean foreign investors will share dividends? Interesting

6 billion to build hospitals, major internet companies are really starting to leave us behind in the game. --- Foreign doctors account for 20%. How rich do you have to be to be so reckless... --- Completed only in 2029? I'm afraid I won't live to see that day. --- AI healthcare sounds high-tech, but how intelligent can real medical care be? It still depends on doctors. --- Another giant project is coming to Zhongguancun. Will housing prices go up again? --- From online to offline, this is really about monopolizing the entire healthcare industry chain. --- An initial investment of 3.7 billion... How much profit margin is needed to support this kind of money-burning approach?
