"Fang Mazi's rent was due in more than four months. He invested all his funds and couldn't even make up the next year's rent." When Boss Zhao said this, he looked at it with deep meaning. Li Jingsheng glanced at him.
Because Li Jingsheng was as miserable as Fang Mazi and could not make up the next year's rent.
They are all destined to die.
"It's so difficult to open a pharmacy or clinic. Boss Fang can't make up for next year's rent, which is pretty good. I can't even pay my employees' wages, which is even worse than him."
Li Jingsheng deliberately acted miserable.
"Don't cry poor in front of me, Lao Zhao, are you worried that I will ask you to borrow money or something? I'm afraid you sell thousands of health medicines a day now. You really can't make any money. Can you agree to accept Xiao Gao?" ?”
When talking about Xiao Gao, it is obvious that Boss Zhao's pain point was mentioned again.
But he said it himself.
It's a self-exposed scar.
Boss Zhao's cheek twitched twice.
"Konnuo got 170,000 in transfer fees alone. The remaining medicines, shelves, etc. were all sold to the new boss at a price. Although Fang Mazi didn't give an accurate estimate, he estimated that he could get 400,000. He really made a lot of money this time. He even asked me to take a foot bath two days ago, but unfortunately I was hospitalized at the time."
Speaking of missing the opportunity to soak his feet for free, Boss Zhao seemed quite upset.
If it was just a regular foot soak, Boss Zhao would definitely not show such an expression of missing a good opportunity.
Li Jingsheng also truly admires Boss Zhao’s interpersonal skills.
Why is Boss Fang of Connaught Drug Store so unlucky that he doesn’t even have any pants? Why is it that Connaught Drug Store has the worst business among the seven pharmacies despite its impressive appearance?
It is estimated that Fang Mazi will not be able to figure it out until he dies.
Now that the pharmacy has been successfully transferred out, we can even invite Boss Zhao to soak our feet together.
Boss Zhao's methods are so clever that people cannot help but admire him.
The two of them were chatting and walking, and they had already arrived at the door.
Boss Zhao naturally stopped talking.
The entrance is for entry only, the exit is on the other side, and someone is handing out gift certificates.
It means that if you want to get a gift coupon for free toothpaste, you must enter the pharmacy from the entrance, then keep walking forward, browse at least half of the products in the pharmacy, and then go to the exit.
The new drugstore owner’s business acumen is quite brilliant!
Being able to drive a Bentley at such a young age is certainly not an ordinary person.
Li Jingsheng and Boss Zhao were strolling around the pharmacy, looking at the various marketing methods and products in the store.
"Any lady who loves beauty, please take a look. Skin care sets from big brands are at a special price for today's event, only selling for 99 yuan a set. If you purchase an additional one-yuan small product, you can also receive a raffle ticket when your order is over 100 yuan, and you can win a big prize. Opportunity!"
Promoters wearing uniforms shouted loudly with loudspeakers.
For promotions like this, there are at least seven or eight counters in pharmacies.
They sell all kinds of health products, skin care products, and toiletries.
Li Jingsheng's eyes were opened.
I thought the person who owned this pharmacy was an idiot, but I didn't expect that he turned out to be a business master.
After visiting the entire drugstore, his deepest impression was that every step was connected with each other, and there were traps everywhere.
As long as they enter a drugstore, seven out of ten customers will be tempted.
How awesome!
Watching each customer being brainwashed by the shopping atmosphere created, they followed the crowd to buy goods, and queued up happily to pay at the checkout counter. The boss's marketing methods are really clever.
Moreover, the medicines in this pharmacy, especially health medicines, are mostly from big brands.
There are some small brands that I have never heard of, but the outer packaging of each product is extremely exquisite, giving people a good sense of quality.
This is equivalent to adding brown rice to glutinous rice, and most people can't tell it at all.
I don’t know which pharmaceutical company you got the goods from?
It is definitely not the source of Litong Pharmaceutical Company.
When he went out, Boss Zhao actually bought 101 yuan worth of goods.
It was a box of blood sugar balancing tablets from a small manufacturer.
Based on Li Jingsheng's experience, the price of the product is at most three or four yuan per box, but it actually sells for 112.5 yuan per box.
So dark.
Big opening promotion, all health care medicines are sold at a 10% discount, after discount, the price is 101 yuan.
When receiving the coupon, Boss Zhao forced Li Jingsheng to receive a free toothpaste coupon.
And he himself received a raffle ticket and a free toothpaste coupon.
The richer people are, the stingier they are.
Boss Zhao's purpose is to take advantage of his competitors and never be polite.
After the two came out, they queued up at the podium outside the drugstore to receive a 75-gram box of toothpaste. The packaging box was quite large.
It’s just that the toothpaste inside is not big.
And it’s a brand I’ve never heard of.
When Boss Zhao reached for the prize, he reached into the box. Instead of touching the bottom, he touched the top with his backhand.
The staff member's expression changed slightly.
But he didn't stop him or speak.
Boss Zhao quickly took out a scratch-off ticket.
"You guys have won a prize here, right?"
Boss Zhao did not rush to shave first, but asked the staff.
In full view of everyone, do the staff dare to answer the question?
"Of course it counts. Our pharmacy has a golden reputation. Even if you scratch out the 100,000 grand prize today, we will fulfill our promise."
The staff member replied with a serious face.
"I feel relieved because of your words. Nowadays, we often see some companies holding fraudulent lottery activities, and people win million-dollar prizes or BMW cars but do not cash them."
After speaking, Boss Zhao carefully scratched off the lead film on the lottery tickets.
"Wow, it's the third prize, it's the third prize, 1,000 yuan!"
Everyone around was excited.
Boss Zhao, however, stared at the prize box with unfulfilled interest.
Finally, I left with a cash prize of 1,000 yuan.
Li Jingsheng stayed with Boss Zhao throughout the entire process, secretly thinking that Lao Jianghu had indeed benefited from everything in this world.
After Boss Zhao and Li Jingsheng walked away, he couldn't help complaining, "Damn it, if my hands weren't thick and a bit short, I would have to touch it to get the first prize. If I can touch the third prize, it's better than nothing!"
"Does the first prize recognize you? Can you touch it if you want?"
Li Jingsheng stood nearby and saw something, but he was not sure.
Boss Zhao smiled enigmatically, "Don't tell me, the first prize is only for lucky people like me. Brother Li, are you going to continue stepping on the plate here or what? I still have something to do in the clinic, so I have to I'm leaving."
"I'm going back too."
After Li Jingsheng said goodbye to Boss Zhao, he walked some distance away. When he looked back, he found that Boss Zhao did not go back to Kuai Kang Clinic, but walked towards a small alley.
I also carry the box of Blood Sugar Balance I bought in my hand.
He seemed to be still humming a tune, looking very leisurely.
"Old Zhao's own clinic sells blood sugar balancing tablets, so why are you buying a box at the newly opened Fredo Pharmacy?"
Li Jingsheng was a little confused.
However, he never meddles in other people's business, so he went back to his clinic to discuss tomorrow's store celebration event with Xiao Gao and the others.
Today's foot traffic has been taken away by the newly opened Fredo Pharmacy, so that's fine.
He has more time to prepare for tomorrow's store celebration.
Although Tang Ping and Xiao Gao started preparing two days ago.
Seeing Li Jingsheng coming back, they both looked at him.
"I received a tube of toothpaste for free. Doctor Gao, when we give out eggs for free, can we follow others' example and give out toothpaste instead?"
"If the boss wants to change, I suggest letting customers choose one of the two. Free toothpaste is not as attractive to the elderly as eggs, grain and oil. The older generation has survived the hard times, and they only believe that food is the basis for the people. It’s a goddamn thing.”
Xiao Gao has his own opinions.
To say that he knows the best about the elderly, he should be called an expert.
"What you said makes sense, so we will prepare a variety of gifts."
Next, Li Jingsheng discussed some details with Xiao Gao and Tang Ping.
"By the way, has we approved the installation of an air arch tomorrow?"
Li Jingsheng asked.
"You haven't replied to my letter yet. How about I call the middleman and ask him to help me inquire."
Xiao Gao also sent the gifts through an intermediary.
He went to the infusion room and came out after making phone calls.
"Our street has just been approved for a new one. The other side said it shouldn't happen too frequently for fear of having a bad impact. Can you think of next week?"
"Okay, then next week!"
Li Jingsheng felt depressed for a while.
Fortunately, there is not much investment for the time being. We have only contacted the company that rents out the air arches, but have not yet finalized the decision.
A thousand copies of the leaflet were printed, and since there is a date written on it, it must be invalid.
This loss is not big.
I will have more time to prepare for the event next week.
Without background or connections, the treatment is similar everywhere, and you can only pick up some food in the cracks among the strong.
"Boss, is it true that the newly opened drug store can draw prizes?"
Xiao Gao came over.
"Of course it's true. Boss Zhao even touched a thousand yuan!"
"Can I ask you for half an hour's leave? I also want to try my luck at the prize."
Xiao Gao seemed very interested in this matter.
"Go ahead, our clinic doesn't have many customers today anyway."
Li Jingsheng looked at his expectant eyes and didn't stop him.
"Thank you, boss. If I get the prize later, I'll treat you to a drink."
After saying that, Xiao Gao took off his work clothes and ran away like flying.
This is the most active Li Jingsheng has ever seen him, more active than selling medicine.
After about twenty minutes, Xiao Gao came back.
His face was full of joy.
In one hand, he held a tube of free toothpaste, a set of skin care products, and a bag of cotton swabs. In the other hand, he held four bottles of drinks worth 6 yuan a bottle.
Xiao Gao usually lives very hard, but this time he is very generous.
That set of skin care products was probably not for personal use, it was probably given to my girlfriend.
As for the bag of cotton swabs, I must have bought them to get a chance to win a prize.
"Does Dr. Gao really win the prize?"
"Hey, thank you boss for giving me this opportunity. I won a thousand yuan, and I can get extra meals for this month." Xiao Gao smiled with a sly look on his face, extremely proud of himself.
Li Jingsheng's heart was bright.
Boss Zhao touched the third prize, and Xiao Gao ran over and also touched a third prize.
Both of them only bought products worth 100 yuan.
This means they only have one chance to draw the prize.
Both of them have a 100% winning rate.
It seems that Xiao Gao has been following Boss Zhao for nearly a year and has learned a lot of Jianghu routines!
There is another point that Li Jingsheng admires very much. Whether it is Boss Zhao or Xiao Gao, they obviously have 100% ability to win the lottery, but they only win once and they are never greedy for more.
It's not easy to do this.
"Sister Tang, this bottle is for you. Thank you for taking me these days. This bottle is for Niu Niu."
Xiao Gao gave Tang Ping two bottles of drinks.
"Boss, this is for you. Don't dislike it. I'm too poor now, so I can only buy you a bottle of drink."
"Work hard, and when you have money in the future, treat Sister Tang and I to a big meal. This bottle of drink represents your feelings. I usually don't drink carbonated drinks, but I will make an exception today."
After Li Jingsheng took it, he encouraged him with a smile.
The three of them were drinking drinks happily when they heard someone shouting that someone was making trouble at the newly opened drugstore on the other side.
Pedestrians on the street kept flocking to that end.
Li Jingsheng was slightly frightened. He had seen the strength of Fredo Drug Store, and the young boss had some connections if he was rich and well-connected.
Who dares to cause trouble on his first day of business?
The occurrence of this incident also suddenly alerted Li Jingsheng.
Should his small clinic still hold a first-anniversary celebration?
What if someone makes trouble?
"Boss, do you want me to go take a look?"
Xiao Gao took the initiative to ask for instructions.
Whenever something happens, Boss Zhao will ask Xiao Gao to find out the news.
"Don't go. You are now a member of our clinic and have a peer relationship with Fredo Pharmacy. You must avoid suspicion. If you get together at this time, what will others think?"
Li Jingsheng pointed at Xiao Gao.
This kid is not stupid, but sometimes he thinks in a one-sided way.
No wonder Boss Zhao often calls him a fool.
No one is perfect, and rookies gradually change from immature to mature.
I believe Xiao Gao will become more and more mature.
"I'd better tidy up my medicine sales list."
Xiao Gao shrank his head, sat back behind the counter, and took out a small notebook to organize.
It records the information about the godmothers and godfathers he recognized. Including phone number, address, birthday, name, preferences, etc.
He can sell five to six thousand yuan of health medicines every day, so he must have a lot of money.
Li Jingsheng took out a piece of pig skin from the fresh-keeping column of the refrigerator and continued to practice intra-skin suturing.
At present, he has mastered two basic suturing methods and two advanced suturing methods. As long as he learns intradermal suturing, he can basically handle almost all general external suturing.
Of course, if you have the opportunity to learn from a powerful surgeon, you may be able to learn more advanced suturing methods in the future.
Simple interrupted suture, continuous suture, vertical mattress suture, horizontal mattress suture, and intradermal suture are suture methods that every clinical medical student must learn.
It will also be tested on practical skills.
Li Jingsheng learned it, but he only mastered the basic methods and his proficiency level was very low.
At present, only intradermal suturing has not reached entry-level proficiency level, while the other four have all reached proficiency level or higher.
Simple interrupted suturing is even a proficient level.
The small goal he set for himself was to learn intradermal suturing as soon as possible.
…
"There's a fight, there's a fight over there!"
Someone was shouting in the street outside.
Some local residents are usually more leisurely. If something happens, they like to watch the excitement.
Many old local residents own more than three houses.
They are all divided by demolition.
You don’t have to work much, just pay the rent.
A boss with a good reputation is more comfortable.
The annual rent for a store like Sunshine Clinic is close to 100,000 yuan. The rent alone is enough for a two-income family.
Li Jingsheng did not intend to watch the excitement, but continued to practice intradermal suturing with concentration, striving to improve his proficiency to the entry level as soon as possible.
Less than a few minutes later, the shouts of a fight approached in this direction.
It seemed like someone was running away.
Multiple figures ran quickly through the street outside the clinic.
Then there was a crash and someone fell to the ground.
"Ah...ah...stop fighting, stop fighting, brother, I was wrong..."
There was no answer, just constant screams.
It felt like he was stabbing someone with a weapon.
Not so sure.
"It's scary out there!"
Tang Ping was particularly afraid of this kind of fighting scene, her face was a little pale, and she subconsciously stood behind Li Jingsheng.
This is an instinct.
When the weak encounter danger, they instinctively seek shelter from the strong and trustworthy.
Li Jingsheng has always been very manly when it comes to protecting his employees.
No matter if someone harasses her, or if a patient or family member wants to beat her, Li Jingsheng will immediately stand up and protect her.
"How could a good opening celebration turn into a fight?"
Li Jingsheng felt very puzzled.
Even if someone makes trouble, the pharmacy can call the police to deal with it!
Just rely on the large number of people to fight?
The specific situation is unclear, and he is not easy to comment.
Xiao Gao was also a little afraid of this kind of bloodshed. He sat behind the counter and kept looking out, looking nervous.
Maybe they were afraid of the mobs coming in.
It turns out it doesn't.
The sound of fighting had long spread into the distance.
The one being beaten will definitely try his best to escape.
A street fight in broad daylight or a group fight is quite serious.
The old street in the south of the city is a mixed bag, and the public security is not particularly good.
But daytime fights and group fights almost never happened.
At this time, a man covered in blood stumbled outside the clinic and pushed the glass door hard.
As a result, he didn't have enough strength and rolled to the ground.
Bright red handprints and blood stains were printed directly on the other side of the glass door.
Slide from the door handle all the way to the floor.
"ah……"
Tang Ping let out a terrified scream.
Both hands instinctively grasped Li Jingsheng's shoulders.
Fortunately, Li Jingsheng was sitting down, otherwise, I might have hugged him.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
Li Jingsheng felt a little scared when he saw the man outside was so seriously injured.
God knows if the thugs are gone?
"Help...help..."
The man's voice outside was hoarse and weak.
Xiao Gao watched nervously, not daring to move.
Tang Ping's hand holding Li Jingsheng's shoulder was shaking violently.
"Don't be afraid, we are medical staff, and the thugs should not be angry with us."
Li Jingsheng saw the man lying on the ground outside and unable to get up, struggling in vain. He was worried that if he didn't save him in time, the man would die.
"Sister Tang, call the police. If you're scared, stay in the clinic and don't go out. I'll go rescue people."
Li Jingsheng patted the back of her hand and told her not to be afraid or nervous.
The nurse was not afraid when she saw injured or dead people, but the fight happened outside, and soon she saw such a bloody man lying outside the door asking for help, which frightened her very much.
"Doctor Gao, we are men and we want to save people together. First find a way to bring people in."
Mainly the fear that thugs were nearby.
It must be safer to carry people in for treatment.
"My, my...legs are a little weak!"
Xiao Gao was not pretending, his face turned pale and he spoke with a trembling voice.
"It's okay, there are really thugs coming to kill them, I'll stand in front of them."
After all, Li Jingsheng had several years of working experience in a large hospital. When faced with critically ill patients, he had only one thought in his mind: to save them immediately.
When rotating in the emergency department, he would often see young people with dragons and tigers tattooed on them in the middle of the night, or even burly men. He had already adapted to it.
They generally do not provoke each other and rarely hurt others without any reason.
He strode towards the glass door and first looked at the street outside. He could only see some people standing on the sidewalk opposite, watching from a distance. No one dares to come close.
Everyone is afraid of getting into trouble.
If he offended a mob, it wouldn't be worth getting beaten up.
Li Jingsheng did not see the figure of the assailant, and could only see the red blood on the ground. It kept coming from the road not far away.
It must have been the blood that the wounded man shed when he saw the clinic and came to seek help.
When the glass door was opened, the injured person was already in a semi-conscious state.
His breathing was extremely heavy, which sounded scary.
Thank you to the two book friends, Sword Soul Platform, and wengyong for your support. Many thanks.
