Watching the clinic’s drug inventory rapidly decline, his heart was anxious.
Couldn’t sell before, it was worrying.
Now sales are good, but still worrying. Urgently needing to buy medicine, but the drug sales reps shun him for his small purchase volume and infrequent orders, leaving him sidelined.
If only he hadn’t put all his eggs in one basket, he should have collaborated with more pharmaceutical companies. Even knowing a few more sales reps would have helped.
Now when he wants to turn to someone last minute, he doesn’t know who to turn to.
Finding a new pharmaceutical company, just submitting applications and getting an account takes a long time.
No drugs to sell tomorrow, what am I going to do?
Li Jingsheng glanced at the time, eight seventeen. Agonizing every minute and second until eight thirty, he quickly dialed President Tian’s number again.
"Hello, who is this?"
Came President Tian’s inquiry from the other end of the line.
This idiot, forgot me again.
Li Jingsheng couldn’t help but burn with frustration.
Called him twice yesterday, should have some impression seeing his phone number.
Looks like President Tian didn’t pay any attention to his number at all.
It’s really demoralizing.
"Hello President Tian, I’m Li Jingsheng from Sunshine Clinic! I called you yesterday evening, do you remember?"
Li Jingsheng had to suppress his anger, still speaking politely with a smile.
"Oh, Boss Li! You want to purchase some medicines, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I’ll send you the list right now, please review and submit it for me." Li Jingsheng said quickly.
"Another few hundred bucks worth of goods? Can’t you figure out how to expand your business? Send it over! I’ll deal with it later when I have time."
Beep, beep...
Before Li Jingsheng could respond, the phone was already hung up.
Small clinic owners have no rights!
This time he’s purchasing nearly twenty thousand yuan worth of medicines, mostly supplements, not a small order anymore.
Previously, because the clinic had no patients, no customers, couldn’t sell the medicines, he really didn’t dare to take much.
Afraid they’d expire.
After sending the list, Li Jingsheng even purposely sent a text message.
"Please, President Tian, help me apply immediately, it’s urgent, thank you."
After sending it, Li Jingsheng waited, no reply.
He understood.
The other person is busy working, it’s normal to act aloof toward him as a small clinic owner.
Deal with the current situation first, find a new pharmaceutical company another day when it’s less busy.
He’s been in this business for over nine months; he actually knows two fellow drugstore owners.
Everyone knows his clinic business is poor, they look down upon him, and worry about him borrowing money, they gradually distanced themselves.
Although Li Jingsheng is poor, he has a bit of a scholarly temperament deep down.
Others look down on him, avoid him, he won’t humiliate himself by clinging to them.
Doing that would mean losing dignity and integrity.
A tree lives for its bark, a person lives for their face.
He still wants a bit of face.
"Boss, this gentleman wants some supplements, can you help him out?"
Tang Ping has been greeting several customers, way too busy.
Worrying about not serving on time and losing customers, urgently asking Li Jingsheng to help share the burden.
Men buying supplements, everyone knows why.
Kids buying supplements, it’s definitely for calcium to grow taller, or for blood boosting. Adult men buying supplements, especially those in their forties or fifties, mostly buy libido boosting or kidney supplements.
This money is easy to earn, high profits, without taking risks.
Li Jingsheng quickly went over to greet the customer.
