Chapter 325 - 175: Going with the Flow, Laying Low for a High Profile Later_2
The more capable ones are squeezing into large hospitals. Who would come to a small clinic?
"Busy all day, you’ve all worked hard. Time to clock out!"
After Li Jingsheng returned, he still had many things to handle.
Being the boss is the hardest, but he also earns the most.
Watching the balance in the bank account rapidly increase every day, this feeling is amazing.
Besides, he also works at the Second Hospital, where he can earn an extra income each month.
His base salary is signed at three thousand five, with performance bonuses for treating patients, plus various hospital benefits. How much he can get in a month is still uncertain.
It should not be less than ten thousand yuan.
If he gets promoted to attending doctor, his salary will be even higher.
He opened his computer, prepared to handle the restocking tasks first.
He could only submit the restocking application today, and can only make payments tomorrow because the Best Medicine company is already off work now.
The glass door opened and seven people, both men and women, walked in.
Li Jingsheng recognized these people; they were all pharmacy owners on this street.
Some run chain pharmacies, others haven’t franchised.
The newly opened Fulido has reportedly been transferred to a new owner, and that thirty-something woman with brown wavy hair should be the new boss.
She looks pretty good, with delicate features and a plump figure.
Wearing somewhat heavy makeup.
Dressed in a white professional suit, paired with dark purple glitter high heels, she’s at least pleasing to the eye.
Fulido was extremely bad back then, so the transfer price must have been quite cheap.
This female boss quietly took over, understanding the principle of quietly making a fortune.
She must have picked up quite a bargain.
"Boss Li, busy, huh!"
The leading Fatty Zhang, forty-seven or forty-eight, wore a large square gold ring, sported a ready-to-give-birth beer belly, and kept two brush-like whiskers.
Don’t underestimate him; he’s the owner of People’s Pharmacy, the strongest amongst several pharmacies.
Reportedly, he started his business earlier than Boss Zhao.
His father ran the pharmacy back in the day, before handing it over to him.
People’s Pharmacy was previously called People’s Reassurance Pharmacy, but after Fatty Zhang took over, he caused a scene with a certain chain pharmacy, changing it to People’s Pharmacy.
Initially, he reportedly only had two storefronts. The fat man surnamed Zhang expanded to five storefronts within just two years after taking over.
The exact earnings aren’t clear.
Just know those five storefronts were all bought up by Fatty Zhang.
Now, People’s Pharmacy has seven or eight employees, similar to Quick Recovery Clinic, both of them deeply rooted and profiting well.
"Wow, Boss Zhang and all of you, honored guests, please have a seat, please have a seat!"
Li Jingsheng greeted the seven people to sit down.
These people went to complain to Station Chief Qiao without effect and were now planning to meet Li Jingsheng personally to ’talk’.
Currently, with a big connection like Xie Guiqiu and his identity as an orthopedic surgeon in the Second Hospital, along with a daily income over ten thousand, facing these people, well, speaking modestly, he’s truly at ease.
Those pharmacy owners running half-dead businesses have no confidence before him.
If these people turn aggressive, he wouldn’t be afraid.
A bottle of pepper spray is enough to put seven people on the ground.
Of course, everyone here is a business owner; harmony begets wealth, so rough situations generally don’t occur.
Adults prefer using their brains and influence to bully others.
Competing with family background, tactics, connections, and financial strength.
Tang Ping saw these people visiting and quickly poured water for them.
She had already changed clothes, ready to clock out, but now possibly worried the boss couldn’t handle it alone, stood behind Li Jingsheng without moving.
Xiaogao has always been timid about fights and quarrels.
Now equally worried about the boss facing seven alone and losing, he sat behind the counter, coldly staring at these unwelcome guests.
No need to mention Han Siying.
Her social experience is even less than Xiaogao’s, her face somewhat pale.
Amusingly, she stood at the door with a canvas bag, holding her phone, seemingly ready to help the boss call the police and record the event at critical moments.
Li Jingsheng observed the performances of these three employees.
People’s hearts are made of flesh.
He treats his employees well, and naturally, their loyalty to him is also extremely high.
Now, when facing issues, none chose to sneak away.
"We wouldn’t climb up to the Three-Treasure Hall without a reason. Considering that my family has run pharmacies on this street for two generations and we’re quite senior, I’ll speak straightforwardly."
Fatty Zhang squeezed that large gold ring.
This isn’t flaunting wealth; even a twenty-gram gold ring isn’t worth much.
Being able to open a pharmacy or clinic on this street requires at least tens or hundreds of thousands.
Fatty Zhang was just making a habitual movement.
His statement of being quite senior already conveys a sense of firmness.
Old folks bullying newcomers is natural.
"Please speak, Boss Zhang!"
Li Jingsheng appeared extremely calm, almost indifferent.
Before coming here, these people probably didn’t understand how strong Li Jingsheng’s power was.
Just because he’s a small clinic owner and has been running the clinic for less than a year, doesn’t mean his current strength can be shaken by these people.
"Whether it’s opening a pharmacy or clinic, saying the first one opened cannot let others open is unreasonable. But everything has a precedence. We highly support Boss Li’s clinic opening; however, selling so many health supplements and tonics daily has greatly reduced the turnover of our seven pharmacies. Isn’t this bullying?"
