Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 100 - 99: The Rent Shouldn’t Be a Problem Anymore

Chapter 100: Chapter 99: The Rent Shouldn’t Be a Problem Anymore

It was almost five o’clock the next afternoon, and Doctor Xu was nowhere to be seen.

Li Jingsheng had already thoroughly reviewed the Bone Touching Skill he learned yesterday and made additional notes. He had listed out the unclear points, waiting to ask Doctor Xu when he arrived today.

It seemed Doctor Xu wouldn’t be coming today.

He felt a slight disappointment.

Primarily because the Bone Touching Skill was so fascinating. Once mastered, using ordinary osteopathic techniques would definitely be as efficient and precise as if boosted by a cheat.

Moreover, it would greatly benefit the diagnosis of bone injuries.

"Boss, most of our healthcare products have been sold out. Liver protection, blood supplements, and sleep & nourishment categories are only enough to sell until tomorrow."

Tang Ping reminded Li Jingsheng to restock in time after checking the inventory.

If there’s nothing to sell, it would not only be a loss for Li Jingsheng but a significant loss for her as well.

Her commission from selling medicine these days should be quite good.

"Did we really sell out this quickly? What a pleasant surprise!"

Li Jingsheng had been busy apprenticing for bone setting, treating patients, and truly hadn’t paid much attention to the stock of healthcare products. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"If it were six days ago, I really couldn’t have imagined that our clinic could have so many customers buying healthcare products. Now, not only is there hope for the future, but working at Sunshine Clinic makes me feel particularly proud. Insisting on working in your clinic was probably the best decision of my life."

Tang Ping was also filled with emotions.

The small clinic had originally been declining day by day, but ever since the boss saved an elderly lady a few days ago, the clinic experienced an unprecedented springtime.

Now the business is truly getting better each day.

The incoming patients and customers are recognizing Sunshine Clinic more and more.

Praise was almost unheard of before; even polite compliments were rare.

These past few days, her ears were almost calloused from listening to all kinds of praise.

"Yes, life is unpredictable, and no one knows how wonderful tomorrow may be. Let’s work hard together and strive to achieve your dream of becoming the head of the nursing department sooner."

Li Jingsheng was increasingly confident about the future.

Especially after apprenticing with Doctor Xu, learning advanced bone-setting techniques made him glimpse the correct path to becoming a great doctor.

In the future, he could stand undefeated against other competitors solely through bone setting.

"Hehe, that’s what you said!"

Tang Ping was indeed starting to believe that Li Jingsheng might truly grow Sunshine Clinic into a Sunshine Hospital bit by bit.

Even if it just became a first-tier hospital, it would be great.

As for developing into a second-tier hospital, she couldn’t even imagine it even after drinking a lot of fake wine.

"A man’s word is his bond; I’ve never gone back on my word."

Li Jingsheng smiled confidently.

In the past, he definitely wouldn’t have dared to make such bold claims, but now there was a newfound confidence in his voice.

As they were talking, another customer came in to buy healthcare products.

Tang Ping quickly greeted them cheerfully and warmly.

Li Jingsheng began restocking according to the inventory. He found that big-brand healthcare products actually sold better, especially those with foreign backgrounds.

Brands like Blackmores sell well despite not being cheap.

Market trends are sometimes perplexing.

Perhaps people believe foreign products are more advanced, with stricter safety standards. Plus, many buy healthcare products not for personal use but as gifts.

Foreign brands carry more prestige.

With some time left until five thirty in the afternoon, Li Jingsheng quickly listed the supplies that needed restocking, then sent the list to Qiu Shaofeng at Best Medicine.

Purchasing from a large company is much more convenient.

By logging into an account with the company, he could view the latest stock lists on Best Medicine’s website.

To get supplies, simply add items to the shopping list, confirm quantities, then select everything and submit it together.

The current order was about 22,000.

Some healthcare products still had some stock, so he wasn’t in a hurry to order.

By switching suppliers, placing an order today means it can be delivered by tomorrow. He didn’t need to hold too much stock.

Shortly after submitting the stock order, Qiu Shaofeng called him.

"President Li, it’s only been three days, and you’re ordering such a large batch again, impressive!"

Previously, out of courtesy, Qiu Shaofeng called him Boss Li.

Now, he was directly upgraded to President Li.

Li Jingsheng raised a smile; the feeling of being respected was great.

Previously, getting supplies from Litong Pharmaceutical Company felt like begging.

Now, he was truly enjoying the treatment a customer deserved with head held high.

"Your company’s product quality is excellent. Once people buy, the response is good, and we have many repeat customers, so sales are quite decent. Can this batch of goods be delivered to my clinic by the day after tomorrow morning at the latest?"

"If you make the payment now, it should arrive around six tomorrow evening. Last time, the quick delivery was because Manager Hu temporarily coordinated supplies, prioritizing yours over those originally meant for other hospitals and pharmacies. Normally, if you transfer the payment by five thirty today, it should be delivered by six the next day."

Qiu Shaofeng explained.

Now, Li Jingsheng was a major client, naturally deserving excellent service.

"Thank you so much! Last time, I guessed Manager Hu and you helped, which enabled such quick delivery. How much in total for today’s order? I’ll transfer the payment right away."

Li Jingsheng currently has over fifty thousand, nearly sixty thousand, in his account.

When he talked payment, he was very confident.

"I calculated it; the total is 21,486.5 yuan. Please verify it."

"I trust President Qiu to handle everything properly; there’s no need for verification. I’ll transfer the payment now."

Li Jingsheng spoke politely, but he definitely took a glance.

Nowadays, the total price is automatically calculated by computer spreadsheets, so errors are extremely unlikely.

"Haha, thank you for your trust. However, when it involves money, it’s more prudent to verify. By the way, I may not be able to come for medicine delivery tomorrow, but I’ll instruct the driver to bring you a scale along with a box of disinfectant, to thank you for supporting our company."

A scale would cost at least several hundred yuan.

Although disinfectant isn’t expensive, a box costs seventy to eighty yuan.

All of these are gifts.

The cooperation with Best Medicine has been a truly pleasant experience.

"Haha, you’re too kind! Here’s to a successful partnership!"

"To a successful partnership! Goodbye!"

After the brief call ended, Li Jingsheng roughly calculated the quote received, and there were no issues.

The pricing was at the lowest tier of five thousand per month.

If his total purchases within thirty days reach a hundred thousand, he could get quite a bit of a refund.

However, achieving a thirty-thousand purchase volume is definitely unrealistic.

Even if business maintains its current pace, the monthly purchase amount would max out at around twelve to thirteen thousand.

This is already quite impressive.

At least, Li Jingsheng was extremely satisfied personally.

A purchase volume of twelve to thirteen thousand means his clinic’s monthly sales would be at least ten thousand.

Healthcare products have significant profit margins; the monthly revenue from just selling these products can exceed ten thousand. After deducting the sales commission for Tang Ping, there would be over ninety-five thousand remaining.

The clinic rent is eight thousand a month.

That was last year’s rate; he wasn’t sure if the landlord would raise it this year.

According to the rent contract, annual price hike cannot exceed 5%. The contract is renewed yearly, and Li Jingsheng has a priority for lease renewal.

Rough estimates suggest this year’s rent should be around a hundred thousand yuan.
