Chapter 446: Chapter 215: Unstoppable Rise, Boss Ye’s Way of Making Money (Part 3)

Li Jingsheng knew that many Chinese medicine formulas were secret recipes, never passed on to outsiders.

"Honk honk honk~!"

She covered her mouth and laughed softly.

"What secret formula? I’m just researching an ancient recipe for the medication. Come on in!"

Only then did Li Jingsheng walk around the counter and enter.

Middle-aged men are always behind the counter, organizing various Chinese medicines or reading a medical book. Occasionally, they also concoct medicine.

When walking into the medicine brewing room, it was filled with a strong smell of Chinese herbs.

Business at Jinkui Clinic was not very good, but the medicines here were of high quality.

Especially some prepared ointments and medications for treating bone injuries and diseases, which had significant effects.

Bone injury medicine is well-known.

Every time Li Jingsheng needed it, he would come here to buy Bone Healing Ointment for his patients.

"Boss Ye, what formula are you studying? I see there are quite a few types of medicine."

"A recipe for treating boils. Many herbs listed in ancient recipes are now impossible to find, so I have to substitute them with other herbs and also adjust the doses. It’s really a headache."

She gently swept aside the bangs on her forehead.

In terms of appearance, she was not a stunning beauty, but she had the unique charm of a talented woman from the past, making her truly stand out.

When talking with her, you would find she had unique insights into many diseases.

She was truly a knowledgeable practitioner in Chinese medicine.

Unfortunately, born at the wrong time, her development space was very limited in this era when Chinese medicine was overshadowed by Western medicine.

"Nowadays, ancient Chinese formulas are either lost or face the challenge of finding the necessary herbs, which is indeed quite difficult." Li Jingsheng could understand her feelings.

"That’s right! Overseas, to solve this problem, they’ve not only attracted some of the eminent Chinese medicine practitioners from our country over there but also specially rented land to grow various Chinese herbs and then process and sell them as decoctions. The best-selling decoction from our clinic has always been one type, and that’s herbal tea."

Her words carried a touch of self-mockery.

Many situations simply couldn’t be changed by one or two people; Li Jingsheng couldn’t really help with these things.

Perhaps in the future, when he makes real money, he could invest in supporting her Chinese medicine business after all.

"Your Chinese medicines here are highly effective and genuine, I believe that as long as you persist, there will definitely be more and more people who believe in Chinese medicine and choose it for treatment."

Li Jingsheng himself didn’t quite believe this.

This was more of consolation.

If one in ten patients chose Chinese medicine, it would already be quite good.

In reality, everyone would choose Western medicine; at most for minor ailments like colds, they would buy a bit of Chinese patent medicine.

"My clinic’s lease is about to expire, and I’m planning to move to a new location. I came specifically to settle the account with you. I calculated, this month I took medicines twenty-seven times, how much is the total?"

"Uncle Hong, what is the medication cost for Sunshine Clinic this month?"

She asked the middle-aged man outside.

"670 yuan."

The middle-aged man was sparing with words.

This price was very low, probably just a little above the cost price with minor labor costs added.

The profit was pitifully small.

"Here’s 700 yuan, no need to give change. Thanks very much for offering me the lowest possible cost price."

Li Jingsheng originally wanted to give 1000 yuan but felt it might be insulting, so he refrained.

Boss Ye, with her talent, surely had a strong sense of pride.

"The actual cost is all you need to pay! No extras! When you use those bone injury ointments, it’s equivalent to promoting Chinese medicine, which was my initial intention."

She directly had Uncle Hong give Li Jingsheng thirty yuan in change.

"I have something to say, just don’t get angry, okay?"

Li Jingsheng looked at her and said.

"I won’t get angry, Dr. Li, feel free to speak your mind."

Her gaze was particularly bright, looking at Li Jingsheng lightly.

"The profit is so low, I’m really worried that you might not be able to sustain this place. Can’t you slightly increase the profit margins?"

Li Jingsheng felt that her attitude of being detached from worldly concerns wasn’t really suited for running a clinic.

What clinic owner doesn’t think about making money?

Gentlemen love wealth, but they acquire it through proper means.

As long as it’s lawful, earn boldly and confidently.

Li Jingsheng had made a hundredfold profit selling health products in the past.

Because anywhere you bought them, it was at that price.

"Thank you for your concern about our clinic, but my clinic isn’t originally reliant on this for survival."

She appeared very confident.

Seeing Li Jingsheng’s confusion, she further explained, "I haven’t shared this with outsiders. You’re the only doctor on the Old Street of South City I appreciate and recognize, a doctor with true ethics and compassion, hence I trust you."

Li Jingsheng never imagined he had such a high-standing image in her view.

"I usually treat some wealthy families’ wives and daughters privately, and this consultation fee is very expensive. It’s not only sufficient to maintain one such clinic but even three without any issue."

Li Jingsheng was drenched in sweat hearing this.

Thinking she was a fool who didn’t know how to make money, it turned out she had her own savvy way, secretly developing a high-end market.

"I was overly worried. Seeing such a good Chinese medicine clinic, I couldn’t bear to watch it close down. Otherwise, I won’t find a place to buy bone injury medicine in the future."

"Hehehe... Dr. Li, you’re truly humorous. If one day I really can’t continue, I could pass on the bone healing medicine’s preparation method to you. However, you probably wouldn’t be interested; it’s very complicated with lots of nuances. You’d better just buy it directly from me, it’s more convenient and the efficacy is assured."

She covered her mouth and chuckled again.

At this time, Li Jingsheng noticed she was wearing a sachet.

No wonder every time he got close he could smell a unique floral fragrance.

"I’m leaving, once summer arrives, I’ll come to you for some herbal tea to sell. By then, just give me the retail price."

Li Jingsheng still wanted to help her earn more.

"Sure! Whenever you need them, you can come and pick them up; it’s best to call ahead and make sure though, as these herbal teas with no additives are best consumed on the day made; otherwise, they’ll spoil."

She happily agreed.

"By the way, do you need help for your clinic’s relocation? I can send Uncle Hong to assist you later."

"No need! I’ve already hired a moving company. My clinic has four employees so it should get done quickly. Actually, there isn’t much stuff."

Li Jingsheng declined her kind offer, went outside, and returned to the clinic.

Time was almost up; he ordered some fast food, everyone ate together, and then they pulled down the roller shutter door to start packing.

A group of people with great power, he led four employees, working hard together, to get it done quickly.
