Li Jingsheng couldn’t help but start hoping that Xiaogao could persuade Boss Zhao, as the clinic did indeed need an excellent salesperson.
He was also preparing on two fronts; he didn’t slack off on the medical work, trying to use this wave of interest to boost the clinic’s reputation.
Unfortunately, there were very few patients willing to come to a small clinic for surgery.
It’s been four days without admitting a single trauma patient.
The biggest surgeries he had done were stitching Master Liu’s leg wound and lancing a boil for an old man.
Both of their wounds were healing quickly without any problems, which perhaps was Li Jingsheng’s greatest comfort.
Unfortunately, the time spent learning Bone-setting Skill from Doctor Xu was still very short, and there were many things left to learn.
Currently, he was studying the application of basic Bone Setting techniques like traction, rotation, folding, swinging, lifting, pressing, separating, and flexing in practice, preparing for more advanced Bone Setting techniques.
If not, if the small clinic could list Bone Setting treatment services, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance Sunshine Clinic’s reputation.
Li Jingsheng was rather calm, and all affairs of the clinic were progressing in an orderly manner.
More than seventy thousand yuan had been scraped together for the rent.
The clinic’s drug inventory would also take up a portion of the funds, and he prepared about thirty thousand yuan as liquid funds.
There was no way around it; small business operations couldn’t afford to take too much stock at once.
At most, he could take around twenty thousand yuan worth of stock.
However, selling health and tonic medicine had a perk; when two thousand yuan worth of stock came in, by the time it needed replenishment, there would be at least more than four thousand in hand.
The profit on health medicine could generally maintain over 100%.
Previously selling Litong’s products, the profit margin was even greater. However, its unit price was much lower, and you get what you pay for; cheap goods were of poor quality.
Selling those products from small factories might bring high profits, but the reputation wouldn’t go up, and there could be potential disputes.
Li Jingsheng’s clinic previously had poor business and hardly any sales, so there were no major disputes.
At most, if a customer found no effect after purchasing it or thought there was an issue, they would come back to cause trouble, and he would refund them.
In all his time running the clinic, he had refunded no more than ten orders.
Most customers, even if they felt the effect wasn’t great, as long as there were no health issues, usually just accepted it. Though they wouldn’t cause trouble at his clinic, they wouldn’t come back to buy again next time.
Speaking of this, Boss Zhao must be praised.
He, indeed, was an old hand in operating the clinic for over twenty years, clearly understanding which health medicines were effective when restocking.
Li Jingsheng, at first, didn’t understand these tricks, but later when he wandered into Boss Zhao’s clinic, he found that Boss Zhao sold not many varieties of health medicines, but rather a few. At the time, he wondered, thinking Boss Zhao was stingy, only restocking a little at a time.
He later realized that Boss Zhao was exceptionally shrewd.
All those health medicines with poor effects, and potential for disputes, he simply didn’t purchase.
