Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Chapter 376 - 192: The New Location Is Set, Qinglan Requests Leave (2)

To put it bluntly, it’s about not having any marketable skills and not being good at navigating the city’s tricks, making it hard to earn money, naturally leading to difficulties.

"You’re an honest person, boss! Thank you for the kind reminder. I still want to try renting it. Could you give me the original landlord’s phone number?" Li Jingsheng finished speaking and turned to Xiaogao. "Go to the supermarket and buy a pack of good cigarettes!"

Cigarettes and alcohol are the two major tools for getting things done.

"Oh, no need, no need, it’s not easy for you to earn money either. Asking for a phone number is just a small thing, no need to waste money on this."

The boss, being particularly straightforward, quickly stopped Xiaogao from buying cigarettes.

He had already set down the teapot and began searching for the phone number on his mobile.

"Hey, just call this person’s number. His last name is Yan, and he’s in charge of this. The house belongs to a unit, and it has been sitting here unused for a long time."

Li Jingsheng quickly saved the phone number.

"Boss, could you reveal the rent amount you pay here? I really don’t know much, and it’ll help me have some idea when it comes time to negotiate."

Li Jingsheng said to the boss.

"On the second floor, combined there are eighteen rooms and two bathrooms. Then I divided this room, using one side as a kitchen and living in the other. The yearly rent is thirty-eight thousand. I gave some gifts later and negotiated it down to thirty-five thousand."

The rent was surprisingly cheap.

"Okay, thank you, boss! I’ve already taken up a lot of your time and you’ve shared so much useful information. Here’s a hundred yuan to thank you, please don’t think it’s too little for a cup of tea."

Li Jingsheng really enjoys dealing with such humble people.

But it’s hard to find such people in the city.

Because they are overly straightforward, and often can’t compete with those who employ cunning tricks.

Including Li Jingsheng himself, he too has such trickery, which is a survival skill city folks must learn.

The boss ran over with the money, firmly refusing to take it.

Li Jingsheng had no choice but to thank him and prepare to leave.

The boss, on the contrary, gave him a tour of the second floor, explaining clearly what wouldn’t work and where needed repairs.

This boss was too sincere.

It made Li Jingsheng feel a bit embarrassed.

After looking around the second floor, Li Jingsheng could already predict the situation of the rooms on the first floor.

The total area was quite good.

Transforming into treatment rooms, infusion rooms, operating rooms, and medical labs would be entirely feasible. Moreover, if developed well, it might even have multiple clinics.

Plus, the second floor, should be able to be used as inpatient wards.

If the renting price for the first floor is similar to the second floor, that would be wonderful.

Approximately seventy thousand yuan a year, much cheaper than the clinic rental cost currently.

And it came with such a large yard.

Just perfect.

When the time comes, open the door right at the short wall’s front, build a grand door, the effect would probably be maximized.

After leaving the small yard, Li Jingsheng felt very excited inside.

A troublesome issue plaguing him for days might soon be solved.

Sometimes, being good at discovering truly matters.

Who would have thought that this dilapidated small yard could be transformed into a small hospital?

"Dr. Gao, if this thing gets finalized, you’ve done a great job. It’s incredible how you thought of using such a rundown little yard to open a clinic, you’re a genius."

Li Jingsheng felt Xiaogao really had a knack for marketing.

Whereas in clinical medicine, his talent was utterly lacking.

"Hehe, it was just a thought that crossed my mind. If it can help our clinic through this tough time, my brain cells won’t have died in vain."

Xiaogao now completely tied himself to the Sunshine Clinic.

If the clinic has issues, so does he.

These days, he probably hasn’t slept well.

Li Jingsheng naturally saw everything and kept it in his heart. Xiaogao’s importance and weight increased substantially.

In the future, for any important tasks that Xiaogao was capable of handling, Li Jingsheng would definitely consider him for the job.

Back at the clinic, Li Jingsheng closed the clinic’s rolling shutter door, and without delay, dialed the number for the person in charge with the surname Yan.

"Hello, who’s there?"

A stern, cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

With a certain magnetic tone.

"Hello, is this President Yan? I am interested in renting the property inside the Old Street of South City and learned that you’re in charge. I’d like to discuss it with you."

"Are you considering a full rental?"

"Yes!"

"There are eighteen rooms on the second floor, you must have seen it, the annual rent is about forty thousand."

President Yan was very straightforward, directly quoting a price.

"Could we have a face-to-face meeting for this?"

Li Jingsheng did not immediately negotiate the price, opting to meet in person first.

When the time comes to send some gifts, the price would be more negotiable.

Negotiating now, they might just hang up or suggest to look further.

"I’m near Hengyuan Building, call me once you’re here, but no later than eight o’clock."

The other party hesitated for two to three seconds, then provided a rough location.

"Alright, I will come to find you immediately!"

Li Jingsheng was overjoyed to hear the agreement to meet. If he could close the deal today, the honest boss could return home early to raise pigs, and his clinic would have a new place to settle.

Probably the renovation, preparation, and so on would take some time.

By the time the clinic’s lease expires, and the new place isn’t ready, it could face closure.

The loss would be unimaginable.

Customers and patients would massively defect, being poached by other peers.

Such a situation is what Li Jingsheng must avoid.

Therefore, he doesn’t have much time left, and choices are terribly limited.
