"Boss Fang originally had more than four months left on his rent, but he has invested all his money into it and can't even scrape together the rent for next year." Boss Zhao said this and gave Li Jingsheng a meaningful look.
Because Li Jingsheng was just as miserable as Boss Fang, both unable to pay the rent for the next year.
They're both on the verge of going under.
"Running a pharmacy or clinic is really tough. The fact that Boss Fang can't gather next year's rent is still okay; I can't even pay my employees' wages, which is even worse for me."
Li Jingsheng was deliberately playing the pity card.
"Don't pretend to be poor in front of me, Old Zhao. Are you worried I'll ask to borrow money from you or what? You're probably selling thousands in health supplements daily now. If you weren't making money, would you have agreed to take on Xiaogao?"
Mentioning Xiaogao seemed to touch on Boss Zhao's sore spot again.
But it was a self-inflicted wound.
He basically exposed his own weakness.
Boss Zhao's cheeks twitched a couple of times.
"Kangnuo received a transfer fee of 170,000 yuan alone, and the remaining medicines and shelves were sold to the new boss at a negotiated price. Even though Boss Fang didn't disclose the exact figure, it's estimated he got about 400,000 yuan. He really made a big profit this time. He even invited me to go for a foot bath a couple of days ago, but unfortunately, I was hospitalized at the time."
Speaking of missing out on a free foot bath opportunity, Boss Zhao appeared quite regretful.
If it were just a standard foot bath, Boss Zhao certainly wouldn't look like he missed a great opportunity.
Li Jingsheng genuinely admired Boss Zhao's interpersonal skills.
Why did Boss Fang of Kangnuo Pharmacy end up broke? Why did Kangnuo Pharmacy, despite its grand façade, become the worst-performing among seven pharmacies?
Boss Fang probably couldn't figure it out until the very end.
But now that the pharmacy was successfully transferred, he could still invite Boss Zhao for a foot bath.
Boss Zhao's tactics were truly impressive, leaving others in awe.
As the two chatted while walking, they reached the entrance.
Boss Zhao naturally fell silent.
The entrance was for entry only, with the exit on the other side, where someone was handing out gift vouchers.
To get a voucher for a free toothpaste, you had to enter through the entrance, walk through at least half of the store's merchandise, and then exit.
The new pharmacy owner's business acumen was indeed remarkable!
Being so young yet able to drive a Bentley, truly not an ordinary individual.
Li Jingsheng and Boss Zhao casually wandered around the pharmacy, examining the various marketing tactics and products.
"Ladies who love beauty, please take a look. Big brand skincare sets are on special offer today for only 99 yuan per set. Add a small item for 1 yuan, and if your total reaches 100 yuan, you'll receive a lottery ticket, giving you a chance to win big!"
A promoter in a uniform loudly shouted through a megaphone.
There were at least seven or eight counters in the pharmacy hosting similar promotions.
They sold all kinds of health supplements, skincare products, and bath products.
Li Jingsheng's eyes were opened wide.
Initially, he thought the person who took over the pharmacy was a fool but turned out to be a commercial genius.
After touring the entire pharmacy, his deepest impression was that every step was interconnected and full of traps.
