Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 165 - 122: An Ineffable Secret, Old Zhao Takes Action

As they were talking, another customer bought some medicine and happily came out of the clinic.

Xiaogao sent the person off at the door, as usual, with great enthusiasm.

"Uncle, take care! If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to me. I'll definitely pick the best medicine for you at the best price."

In sales, having an innocent face, coupled with a goofy smile and polite, enthusiastic attitude, is simply unbeatable.

Xiaogao's eloquence was decent too.

Combined with good-quality supplies, these conditions together made the medicine sales highly successful. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Boss Zhao covered his chest and quickly turned away.

Every time he saw Sunshine Clinic making a sale, he felt particularly uncomfortable.

"Xiaogao, are you getting used to it here? If you ever want to return to Quick Recovery Clinic, you're always welcome back!"

Boss Zhao never cared about Li Jingsheng's feelings when trying to poach his employees.

Frankly speaking, it was arrogance and prejudice, not taking Li Jingsheng seriously, which made it easy for him to poach Xiaogao right in front of him.

Dare he poach anyone from the community health service station?

There, he'd definitely be very cautious and respectful.

It was only after seeing Xiaogao's astonishing sales talent at Li Jingsheng's place that he considered bringing him back.

Typical narrow-mindedness of not being able to see others succeed.

"Thank you for your concern, Boss Zhao. I'm doing well here, and the boss treats me excellently," Xiaogao replied courteously, but with a noticeable sense of unfamiliarity compared to before.

He seemed extremely close to Li Jingsheng's side.

Though Xiaogao appeared a bit silly, he was very clear-minded in life.

Whose meal he was eating, he inclined toward that side.

Boss Zhao wanted to say more, but Xiaogao already went inside.

He turned, looking frustrated, and said to Li Jingsheng, "Speaking of Xiaogao, that kid was trained by me hands-on. Watching him grow and succeed, yet you benefit from it, Brother Li. Just for that, you should introduce me to the person in charge of Best Medicine."

That old fellow's too optimistic.

It was clearly his harsh treatment that chased Xiaogao away, and now he's spouting nonsense.

Does he really take Li Jingsheng for a naive young guy who just entered society?

"Haha, Dr. Gao used to do different work at Quick Recovery Clinic. The work Boss Zhao trained him most for was errands and odd jobs, right? I truly don't have the number for the person in charge of Best Medicine, and I'm not familiar either. You have extensive connections and many friends, so you can certainly ask other influential friends or acquaintances for help. I'm just a small clinic doctor, like a speck of dust on the ground; even if I wanted to, I couldn't help!"

Li Jingsheng's response was both gentle and firm, leaving Boss Zhao speechless.

But Boss Zhao's always had thick skin.

He won't give up until he achieves his goal.

He continued chatting awkwardly with Li Jingsheng outside the clinic.

"Brother Li, do you know how special the geographic location of Old Street of South City is?"

Boss Zhao changed the subject.

Indirect approach, a common tactic used by Boss Zhao.

"I really don't know, please enlighten me."

Li Jingsheng replied cautiously.

"Look at this street, it's just over two hundred meters long, right? My clinic is at the east end, which leads to the riverside scenic area. Your clinic is at the west end, which is the necessary route for people coming to Old Street of South City from the commercial street, cultural palace, and three squares. In terms of foot traffic, you can surely capture over fifty percent here. Jinkui Clinic is next to the church, and the alley across is the necessary route to the community health service station.

Jinkui Clinic focuses on traditional culture, mainly Chinese medicine.

There is room for all three of us on this street.

And we don't interfere with each other."

Boss Zhao analyzed the customer flow for the three clinics on this street.

"You truly deserve to be called a senior, you really understand this area thoroughly!"

Li Jingsheng quietly used the tactic of flattering to kill.

When dealing with a strong opponent, praise them.

But Boss Zhao was very clear-headed, shaking his head and sighing, "I'm this so-called senior, yet now I'm being rubbed into the ground by you, a younger generation?" He was referring to the matter of selling health supplements.

Before Li Jingsheng could retort, he continued, "Jinkui Clinic mainly sells Chinese medicine and tonic medicine, so regarding health supplements, there's no competition with us. The community health service station runs on public funds, and Station Chief Qiao has ambitious plans, wanting to develop the station into a health service center. Currently, all aspects have already reached that level, just lacking that final step.

The health station also has no competition in the health supplement area, instead, it has… cough, cough!"

Boss Zhao realized he said too much and quickly stopped.

Li Jingsheng couldn't be bothered to expose this trivial matter.

Isn't it just secretly collaborating with Quick Recovery Clinic, recommending patients to buy health supplements there when needed!

He had known this for a long time.

Whenever the health service station doctors successfully recommended a purchase, they received a rebate from Boss Zhao.

It was precisely through interest transfer that Boss Zhao maintained close ties with the health service station.

"In short, regarding selling health supplements, only our two clinics have a competitive relationship. But I manage the east-end customers, and you handle the west-end customers; we don't interfere with each other, there's really no conflict. Instead, there are seven pharmacies on this street, which compete fiercely with us over this. So, you and I shouldn't be enemies; we can be friends instead. Not to mention, just for saving my life, Old Zhao, I can't do harm to you."

Boss Zhao went through all this roundabout talk for only one purpose, to tell Li Jingsheng that in selling health supplements, there was really no competitive relationship between Quick Recovery Clinic and Sunshine Clinic.
