Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 205 - 135: Just Missing a Lady Boss, Crisis Everywhere (Part 2)
Eggs, grain oil, laundry detergent and such, he’s already figured it out; he just needs to get them from the supermarket opposite.
Let them make some money; it also means more allies.
Plus, if the event doesn’t go well, any unused gifts can be returned at the original price.
As for toothpaste and disinfectant, he can simply order them on the Best Medicine platform.
Anything not used in the event can be sold later.
Or used in the next event.
Around four in the afternoon, Li Jingsheng received an administrative permit notification from the city management office.
Just a text notification; for the written document, he needs to go to the city management bureau to pick it up himself.
After sending a carton of cigarettes to the intermediary, someone helped Jingsheng with the errand.
A little after five in the evening, someone called Xiaogao out for a moment.
Then came back with the official notification letter.
With this, holding the event on Saturday would be legal.
Jingsheng was quite satisfied that spending money got things done well.
The service provided was quite comprehensive.
They notified him in advance after the approval came through.
And someone personally delivered the notification letter.
If there were issues during the approval process, they would truthfully inform him, rather than using formal language and leaving him to guess.
All in all, the carton of cigarettes was worth it.
Next, it depends on how the event turns out.
Jingsheng thought he should report this to the community.
So he personally went to the neighborhood committee.
Unexpectedly, the community leaders were very polite to him. The warmth made Jingsheng a bit puzzled. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
He had enough social experience to understand there must be a reason for such courtesy from the community leaders.
The only reason he could think of was that morning when two community leaders came to the clinic to investigate matters about treating the injured.
There had been no news about it afterward.
He couldn’t figure out what the community leaders wanted, nor did he have the energy to ponder over such things. In any case, when he went to report to the community, both the staff and the leaders were very courteous to him.
The reporting process was exceptionally smooth.
That was enough.
Saturday came in the blink of an eye, and in front of Li Jingsheng’s small clinic, there was a red inflatable arch, four helium balloons, and four banners.
Worried about a shortage of staff, he temporarily hired two students as temporary workers.
They were outside handing out leaflets, guiding customers into the clinic to buy health medication or see a doctor.
Following Furuiduo Pharmacy’s marketing tactics.
Every customer who entered the pharmacy, whether they made a purchase or not, could receive six free eggs, or a tube of toothpaste, or a 500ml bottle of disinfectant.
As for more premium gifts, they required a minimum purchase amount to acquire.
During this period, Boss Zhao came by once.
He didn’t come in; he just stood at the door, glanced inside, saw Li Jingsheng busy, greeted him, and left.
Li Jingsheng initially worried Boss Zhao might play dirty, but even by eight in the evening when they closed up, no one had come to cause trouble.
The whole store celebration event went very smoothly.
The wages for the two student temporary workers were 70 yuan/day, plus 12 yuan meal allowance, and 3 yuan tea fee.
Roughly a cost of 85 yuan per person per day.
The pay wasn’t considered high, but it wasn’t low either.
Many day-to-day student temp jobs were around 50 yuan/day.
For students lacking social experience, such an opportunity for exercise was actually quite good.
They could earn some pocket money and also develop personal skills and gain social experience.
Before leaving, Li Jingsheng gave each of them an additional 5 yuan as a transportation subsidy, totaling 90 yuan per person.
When the two students left, they even voluntarily left their phone numbers, letting Li Jingsheng know they were available as temp workers again if needed. As long as it was a Saturday or Sunday, they could take the job.
Once the people from the advertising company came to dismantle the inflatable arch and such, Li Jingsheng was too tired to move.
Xiaogao and Tang Ping fared no better.
Event planning is truly exhausting.
After doing the math, the total revenue for the clinic for the day was 28,700 yuan.
A total of 23 boxes of eggs were given away.
Surprisingly, not much toothpaste or disinfectant was given out.
One box of eggs contains 360 eggs, with 6 given to each customer.
Although signs at both the entrance and inside the clinic said free gifts couldn’t be claimed multiple times, surely some people found loopholes to exploit.
Of the 23 boxes of eggs, less than one tray was left.
What does this mean?
It means nearly 1,400 customers went to the clinic to claim free eggs.
The supermarket offered a wholesale price of 265 yuan per box.
boxes cost over 6,000 yuan.
Plus the cost of renting the inflatable arch, helium balloons, hiring temporary workers, paying for approvals, and the free disinfectant, toothpaste, and food gifts for purchases over a certain amount, the total expenditure was likely over 10,000 yuan.
In total, less than 30,000 yuan worth of drugs were sold.
Some of them weren’t even health drugs; they were ordinary medications with very low profits.
Li Jingsheng calculated the accounts and was dumbfounded.
After the event, the net profit might just be slightly higher than yesterday’s profit.
At most, an additional 1,000 yuan or so.
This isn’t something fit for a person to do, after all.
If he included Xiaogao and Tang Ping’s drug sales commissions, he’d probably cry to faint in the restroom.
"Let’s not do such events again in the future, I feel like I’m about to ascend to heaven."
Li Jingsheng leaned against the chair, drinking water, unwilling to move.
"I support that! I still prefer the usual way of doing business. These legs of mine no longer belong to me."
Tang Ping gladly raised her hand in agreement.
"Boss, today’s store celebration event wasn’t without its gains. This list in my notebook is full of treasures; if only 20% can be converted, the event’s tenfold expenditure can be recouped for you."
