Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic
Chapter 436 - 212: Medical Complex, The Aunt Who Cried Her Heart Out (Part 2)
She might feel deceived and seems a bit angry.
The worst thing between couples is deceit.
Trust is the foundation of a relationship.
"Hasn’t business picked up in the past two or three months? So I’ve made a small profit. When I first met you, things were really bad, I couldn’t even pay salaries, and an old lady with a heart attack fainted in my clinic."
Li Jingsheng recalled past hardships, feeling a flood of emotions in his heart.
Fate is truly amazing.
No one could have imagined that in less than three short months, he could turn things around and expand.
Now, the clinics and pharmacies on the Old Street of South City have all been left behind by him.
Once they relocate, it will definitely be the strongest clinic and pharmacy complex on the street.
This is actually far more impressive than a community health station.
Community health stations and health service centers are akin to public health institutions.
Currently, they are promoting zero markup on drugs, meaning the purchase price is the selling price to the patients.
The hospitals’ profits from drugs were completely cut.
But Li Jingsheng’s clinic is private and not restricted by this.
As long as it’s not too outrageous, he can sell as he wishes.
No one bothers him.
And he’s operating legally.
Look at how he’s selling health supplements now; sales can stabilize between ten to twenty thousand.
This is a terrifying sales figure. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
It’s enough to make large pharmacies envious.
The key point is that his profits are also terrifying, at least over 100%. This refers to the health supplement section.
Ordinary drugs have the poorest profit but can attract customer traffic.
Plus, the clinic definitely focuses on treatment.
It’s impossible to prioritize disease prevention.
So, once he relocates, it will be unstoppable, becoming the strongest medical institution on the Old Street of South City.
Its income will surpass any pharmacy or clinic.
"You still call that a small profit! Did things start to improve since that newspaper feature?"
"It should have been the day before the newspaper feature. Sometimes I find it unbelievable myself."
Li Jingsheng remarked.
"What’s so unbelievable about it? You are honest and kind-hearted, with good medical ethics and skills. If you didn’t make money, it would truly be unjust. Is there enough funding for such a big place?"
Earlier, thinking Li Jingsheng had deceived her, she was a bit angry.
Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, she’s starting to worry about his funding.
It’s said that borderland women love and hate vigorously, are straightforward, generous, and very passionate. Li Jingsheng has come to truly believe it.
Such a woman would be considered extraordinary even in ancient times.
In modern times, she’s the dream lifelong partner of a good man.
For irresponsible scumbags, meeting such a woman would be a nightmare. Because they won’t tolerate infidelity, and their strong-willed nature would likely lead to divorce once they discover a man’s affair.
"Funds are definitely not enough! Just the renovation for two such big buildings would cost millions. I also need to build an operating room, procure two imaging devices, and construct over a dozen inpatient rooms. It’ll take at least two to three million."
Li Jingsheng said earnestly.
"How much are you short?"
After hearing this, she paused for two or three seconds and then asked.
"At least 2.6 or 2.7 million short."
"Are these expenses all necessary?"
"Of course!"
She didn’t say anything more, but it was obvious she was considering helping Li Jingsheng financially.
"I’ll figure out a way to help you borrow some money, interest-free, but you must repay it as soon as you have the money."
She looked at Li Jingsheng and said in a serious tone.
"Haha, I was kidding! You can only eat as much as your stomach can hold. How could I undertake such a large-scale project without the funds? I plan to renovate just the first floor first, for selling drugs and outpatient services. I’ve asked Director Lian from People’s Hospital to help inquire about old equipment for the operating room. We have few surgical patients now, so it’s not feasible to invest too much."
Li Jingsheng was genuinely moved.
Lending him over two million interest-free, this girl is definitely a hidden wealthy woman.
Thinking like this, he no longer perceived her as financially struggling.
Because being able to spare over two million, even just sitting in the bank earning interest, could still yield a considerable annual income.
There once was a cautious person in finance who, after nearly a decade of hard work, accumulated over three million in savings.
He neither invested in stocks nor bought funds, but chose the most reliable way, keeping it in the bank for interest.
Ordinary folks deposit whatever amount they have into the bank.
Sometimes they even scrape up a round number to deposit.
But he deposited ten thousand every day, for 365 days a year, every day a ten thousand deposit matured, which he withdrew and re-deposited. He earned 225 yuan interest.
This peculiar savings strategy, although a bit cumbersome, had many perks.
He could freely dispose of the daily 225 yuan interest income.
Moreover, when emergencies required funds, he didn’t have to worry about losing interest if withdrawing the entire deposit.
Li Jingsheng speculated that Ou Qinglan probably had over two million in her hands.
Earning interest alone would bring her seventy to eighty thousand a year.
"You dared to trick me, I’ll teach you a lesson!"
She was so angry her face turned red, her fist felt like cotton as it hit Li Jingsheng.
"Just teasing you, don’t be mad!"
Li Jingsheng boldly pulled her into an embrace, and seeing she didn’t resist much, he held her tighter.
The two young lovers stood there in the courtyard, hugging each other.
Smelling the perfume on her body, mingled with the light scent of her hair, Li Jingsheng thoroughly enjoyed the moment.
