There’s a time for this, and a time for that.
Sunshine Clinic was indeed just a piece of "mosquito meat" before, and not many pharmaceutical companies were willing to sign deals with it.
Now, Sunshine Clinic was fiercely promoted by Li Jingsheng in a desperate situation and has appeared on the newspaper, shedding its former skin and no longer being an obscure, overlooked little clinic.
Not to mention small companies like Litong, even some quality big companies are vying to cooperate with Sunshine Clinic.
It’s precisely for this reason that President Tian rushed over early in the morning to apologize.
"According to your Litong’s efficiency, it indeed takes more than ten days from opening an account to receiving goods. This doesn’t mean other pharmaceutical companies would take this long!"
Li Jingsheng sneered.
President Tian read his expression and couldn’t help but feel a sinking sensation in his heart.
"I know almost all the local pharmaceutical companies in this area. The ones that might sign with you are only Weichang and Honghong. Their efficiency isn’t faster than ours at Litong. Even if they expedite your large order and open an account for you in two days, you’ll still have to wait at least until the day after tomorrow to receive the goods. You see, we’re old friends, why not just get your goods from us at Litong?"
President Tian offered a conciliatory smile, once again speaking humbly.
A huge deal slipped away to other pharmaceutical companies because of his arrogance and snobbishness; his regret was beyond words.
Local pharmaceutical companies are generally small, weaker in strength, only serving local drugstores, clinics, and hospitals.
In recent years, competition has been fierce; even in township markets, there’s intense rivalry.
In terms of strength, Litong used to be weaker than Weichang Pharmaceutical and Honghong Pharmaceutical. In the past two years, its development has been promising, showing signs of keeping pace with these two companies.
Litong mainly excels in health supplements, accounting for roughly 70% of its total profits.
Its prescription drugs are actually far inferior to the other two companies.
Li Jingsheng’s submitted purchase order mainly consisted of health supplements and tonics, making President Tian even more eager to take it.
Such a big order, and it’s Litong’s flagship product — too tempting.
"Ha~! If President Tian really took me as an old friend, the batch of medicine should have been delivered to my clinic by last night."
He chuckled with a hint of sarcasm.
The current outcome is all due to President Tian’s own doing.
It’s laughable that even at this moment, President Tian is still being complacent.
Just then, outside, a white Iveco stopped in front of the clinic.
The vehicle body displayed a conspicuous green logo: Best Medicine.
A young man in a suit, with a professional demeanor, jumped out of the passenger seat of the car, carrying a briefcase. Accompanying him was a middle-aged man wearing Best Medicine’s uniform.
The two headed directly into the clinic.
Li Jingsheng visibly perked up — big companies are reliable. He initially thought it would be good enough to get the medicine delivered by ten in the morning, but to his surprise, it arrived just past eight.
This settles it — no worries about not having medicine to sell today.
President Tian also noticed the anomaly, instinctively turning to look outside the clinic. At one glance, he saw the eye-catching Best Medicine delivery van.
While an ordinary person may not be affected, being in the trade, seeing other companies’ delivery vans heightens awareness.
Moreover, compared to Best Medicine, Litong isn’t even in the same league. To Litong, Best Medicine is like a colossal beast, impossible to even entertain thoughts of competing against.
And indeed, it cannot compete.
"Why is such a big company like Best Medicine here?"
President Tian’s heart tightened, his previously confident expression now uncertain.
His only prayer now is for Best Medicine to maintain its dignity and not fancy this small clinic.
After all, Best Medicine is famously aloof, with extremely high signing thresholds.
Not only small clinics, but even some decently sized big drugstores are ruthlessly rejected when attempting to sign with them.
That’s because they enforce a protected operating region.
They sign just one contract per region and no more.
They certainly select the best of the best.
The worst fears come true. Two Best Medicine staff pushed open the door and entered the clinic.
