Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 125 - 108: Three Days Apart, A New Look—The Hard-to-Handle Auntie (Part 3)
For a man, career is certainly more important.
Especially for someone like Boss Zhao, a seasoned player who understands that women are like clothing and career is like one’s limbs.
"100 yuan from you, 74 yuan for a box of blood sugar pills, giving you back 26 yuan, please keep it safe!"
Tang Ping found 26 yuan in change for him.
She didn’t hand the money directly to him but placed it on the counter. She was afraid Boss Zhao might take the chance to grope.
This kind of thing had happened before; when Boss Zhao came to Sunshine Clinic for the first time, she enthusiastically handed him a glass of water and Boss Zhao took the chance to touch her hand.
Since then, she dared not have any contact with Boss Zhao.
"Dr. Gao, help your boss a bit."
Li Jingsheng said to Xiaogao.
Xiaogao didn’t understand what he meant but still walked over to Boss Zhao.
Boss Zhao was meticulously studying the blood sugar balance pills he just bought, his face slowly turning dark. At first, he gritted his teeth and said nothing, later he started murmuring "It’s the real deal, it really is! And selling it so cheap..." He slowly turned to Li Jingsheng. "Brother Li, where did you get this medicine? Litong can get authentic products, but the price is exorbitantly high, and at least it’s second-hand goods. You sell so cheap, yet it’s genuine, did you source it from e-commerce channels?"
Given Boss Zhao’s age, he’s over twenty years older than Li Jingsheng and doesn’t understand the internet at all.
He’s only heard people say that e-commerce is growing fast, and more and more pharmaceutical e-commerce platforms are providing drug procurement services to clinics.
However, many clinic owners still prefer traditional offline channels for drug procurement.
They feel it’s safer, and if there are issues they can return or exchange on the spot.
Local pharmaceutical companies can often achieve next-day delivery after ordering, which is also favored by clinic owners.
Boss Zhao first thought that Li Jingsheng definitely found a good e-commerce company to supply.
Seeing Li Jingsheng not answering, Boss Zhao didn’t give up.
"With such a good supply channel, give a hint! Don’t worry, Old Zhao never lets others help for free, will definitely give you benefits."
As they were talking, Xiaogao patted Boss Zhao’s shoulder.
"What are you doing? Don’t you see I’m talking to Dr. Li?"
Boss Zhao turned around angrily and scolded.
Seeing a competitor suddenly selling high-quality goods at terrifyingly low prices made Boss Zhao feel like his heart was being gnawed by a thousand ants, extremely uncomfortable, extremely anxious.
Health medicine is one of the major profit sources for clinics and pharmacies.
Cold medicine, fever reducers, anti-diarrheal pills, band-aids have very low profit margins and limited sales. If any pharmacy relies on these for business, several will go out of business.
"Look outside!"
Xiaogao pointed outside the clinic.
Boss Zhao impatiently raised his eyes to look outside the glass door.
"The, the Best Medicine delivery truck!" He watched the driver get out and carry a big box toward the clinic. "Brother Li, don’t tell me you’re getting goods from the Best Medicine company?"
The driver glanced at the recruitment advertisement on the glass wall outside, paused for three or four seconds, then pushed the door open and walked in.
"Boss Li, delivering goods for you. I saw your clinic recruiting for medical assistants, developing quickly huh!" The driver almost watched this inconspicuous little clinic rapidly develop step by step.
It’s only been three days, and Li Jingsheng received another large batch of goods and is now recruiting medical assistants, so the driver naturally believes Sunshine Clinic is rapidly expanding.
"Haha, isn’t this borrowing your company’s auspicious influence! With such good conditions, even a tattered wooden boat would run fast for a while, right?" Li Jingsheng laughed and stood up to greet.
Never mind that the other person is just a driver, establishing a good relationship is very necessary.
Otherwise, if the other person really wants to hold a grudge, deliberately delays delivering medicine until the last stop, he would have no recourse.
If the company gifts Li Jingsheng some present, privately deducting some, that’s even more needless to say.
Of course, usually such things wouldn’t happen.
"You’re indeed going to become a big boss, speaking humbly! This is a scale, Specialist Qiu specifically instructed to give it to you."
"Thank you, thank you! Really appreciate it!"
Li Jingsheng was delighted beyond measure.
"Master, you’ve worked hard, have some water!"
Tang Ping was also smart, pouring a glass of water for the driver.
"Thank you!"
The driver took it and drank it down in one go, while Tang Ping stood by and took the cup.
"Want more?"
"No thanks! I’ll help you set up this scale, I’m somewhat skilled. If there are issues, I can timely bring it back to the company and replace it for you."
See, these are the benefits of building good relations with the driver.
"Then I’ll trouble you!"
Li Jingsheng certainly wouldn’t refuse such a good deal.
"Sister Tang, go buy a bottle of water."
"Okay!"
She nodded and went out.
The diagonally opposite community supermarket sells drinks, very convenient.
Li Jingsheng then helped the driver assemble the scale.
Boss Zhao sat at the counter, pulling out tissue paper to constantly wipe the sweat off his forehead.
His face looked a bit pale, not quite right.
Xiaogao occasionally glanced at the recruitment advertisement stuck on the glass wall. But from inside, he couldn’t read the words on it at all.
Then another customer came in to buy medicine.
She was a grandma around sixty, quite plump, three-cornered eyes.
Many people say that grandmas and grandpas are the easiest to make money from, but Li Jingsheng feels their money is especially hard to earn.
They love to compare prices, buying something means comparing to many stores, asking all sorts of questions, any good patience wears thin bit by bit.
"Ma’am, is there anything you need?"
Tang Ping went out to buy water, so Li Jingsheng had to go over to greet her himself.
Cannot recklessly call her auntie; some grandmas sensitive about their age dislike being called old and would immediately be displeased.
"I want to ask if there’s any anti-aging medicine?"
The grandma walked to the counter, starting to stare at the health supplements inside.
On the shelves behind the counter, medicines for treating illnesses are usually displayed.
Convenient for doctors and nurses to grab medicine but cannot let patients casually take them. Medicines for treatment all have side effects and can’t be consumed indiscriminately.
Inside the counter mainly displays supplements and health medicines.
They’re the major profit source, certainly they should be placed in a spot clearly visible to customers, convenient for selection.
"Yes, this Vitamin C is very suitable for you. This medicine not only maintains various health functions of the body, but it’s also a powerful antioxidant, can prevent cell aging and necrosis, enhance immunity, and fight various infections. Cost-effective, and produced by a large brand, would you like to try two boxes?"
Li Jingsheng took out a key health supplement for anti-aging, enthusiastically introducing to the grandma.
"Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t seem reliable."
The grandma shook her head.
