Practicing business and practicing medicine

Seeing the somewhat incomprehensible expressions on Bian Mu and the others' faces, Doctor Qin quickly explained.

"I retired from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Second Provincial Hospital. At first, I rented a small front room near the back door of the second inpatient department of our hospital to make a living. When I first retired, I felt a little bit lost. I stayed at home all day long. I was depressed, and I didn’t feel at ease even when I slept at night. After I opened the small clinic, I ate well and slept peacefully, and then..."

Before he finished speaking, Bian Mu kindly interrupted Dr. Qin's words.

"Don't stand! Please sit down!" As he spoke, Bian Mu moved forward and moved a chair to invite Dr. Qin to sit down and chat.

Considering that Nie Yawen had a bad temper and spoke irritably, Bian Mu deliberately moved the seat near his side to prevent Nie Yawen from losing her temper later.

"Thank you, thank you! I don't want to disturb you two. I just came over to say hello. I don't dare to disturb your meal. I will leave as soon as the waiter serves the food." Seeing Nie Yawen's face looking a little sulky, Doctor Qin quickly explained a few words to Miss Nie.

"It doesn't matter! We are all in the same company, and the clinic is not far away. From now on, we should be as close as possible. Is your management okay?" Bian Mu smiled and said a few polite words.

"I'm really not being polite to you. It's really thanks to your great blessing that my clinic is doing much better than before near our hospital. The monthly turnover has increased by at least 20,000 yuan, and it continues to rise." Dr. Qin explained with a smile.

Observing his words, Bian Mu could see that Dr. Qin was not telling lies, and he was not at all the conceited and professional politeness among his peers.

"Oh! Are you also following the path of general practice?"

"No, I originally focused on orthopedics, specializing in the treatment of bone injuries. Why don't I do it alone! I can handle pediatrics, geriatrics, and trauma. I can't compare with you. At such a young age, say I feel very ashamed when I come here.”

"You're so polite! I'm just a junior, and I hope my seniors can give me more advice in the future." Bian Mu would naturally also say a few words for the occasion.

"I'm telling the truth, and I'm really not being polite to you. My relatives and friends have advised me before, saying that you are a great person and have great medical skills, and... your social relations are also very strong, and you are very liberal in all aspects. I I didn’t want to find excitement near your clinic. Later, I really couldn’t find a suitable house. The small-fronted house I rent now belongs to a relative of my family. The friendship between the two generations is not for anything else. , the rent is quite cheap, which is equivalent to looking after the house for their family, so...I bite the bullet and move here." After glancing at Nie Yawen intentionally or unintentionally, Dr. Qin gave a brief introduction to his clinic.

"Oh! Isn't it easier to attract old patients who have been treated before by relying on the original unit? Isn't it good to maintain a fixed customer base by leading people? Why move?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"Alas! Aren't the relevant departments carrying out six urban rectifications? The area at the back door of the inpatient department of our hospital is indeed a bit messy. There are small businesses and vendors, a small hotel, and an area for caring for patients' families... There are three religions and nine schools. The community order is a bit chaotic. For more than ten years, It was said before that we would vigorously rectify and rectify, maybe because of the excessive historical abuses. The rectification was not very strong and it has not been able to achieve much actual results. Later, a new director or other reform pioneer was replaced to coordinate all aspects, and then everything was possible. It was demolished. At the moment, the foundation is being laid for the place, and it has a completely new look, but...I am also displaced."

"Oh...so that's what happened! You are well-run and have superb medical skills in the new location. What does that have to do with me? Logically speaking, as a colleague, I should compete with you for customer sources, right?" Bian Mu smiled. questioned.

"Haha... I know how many bowls of rice I have to eat by myself. It's better to be better than anything else. Since ancient times, money has always been more important than a servant, and art has been more important than a professional! It stands to reason that your aura is so strong that we have no chance of making a living around you. ! But... Facts have proved that this is not the case. Originally, I thought about making do with it for a year or two. In any case, the rent is not cheap, so I would save more and wait until I find a suitable place to make other plans. Unexpectedly, there were a lot more patients than where I was before. Later I realized that no matter what line of business, serious business owners have to work together to survive, otherwise, no one will be able to live well." Dr. Qin said more and more. Be energetic and talk more and more.

In the beginning, Nie Yawen really annoyed him to death. She already looked down on ordinary Chinese medicine practitioners who were at the ant level. Moreover, she was a retired old man. Looking at the entire Lijin City, any serious Chinese medicine doctor under her command who had some real ability, no matter how young or old. , Nie Yawen knew almost all of them. The person in front of her had a very ugly face and must not have much ability.

But... after listening, Nie Yawen became more energetic and listened.

"Get together to start a business?! I'd like to hear the details!" Bian Mu said politely with a smile.

"Actually... I'm ashamed to say that what I and other colleagues in the surrounding area are doing is your remaining 'last order' business. Aren't you becoming more and more famous? People are begging to register with you all day long. However, you are very particular about your medical practice. He doesn't even look at any more patients, so he just leaves. At worst, he can come back another day to try his luck, or he can try online all night long. However, there are some patients he can't wait for, or the energy in his body can't be overcome and he feels uncomfortable. Ah! I thought I was here, so why not go around and see what other Chinese medicine doctors have to say? As I go back and forth, the number of patients in my place is getting more and more. Come to think of it, is this the case?" Finally, Dr. Qin was happy.

After looking at each other for a few times, Bian Mu and Nie Yawen couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"That's the truth! I seem to have heard my grandfather say something similar before, but no, you later raised the registration fee and treatment fee. Moreover, you queued up all day long, and ordinary people lived for 10 yuan a time. That’s more than 300 yuan a month! Think about it carefully, most working-class people only earn a few dollars a day, right! After you were diagnosed here, you were usually so enthusiastic and kept telling people about their illnesses. The explanation is clear. The patient who is not very well-off thinks that since the cause of the disease is all clear, who can he turn to for treatment?! Dr. Qin also has a serious medical background in the top three, and his qualifications are there. The difference in drug costs, Treatment fees, registration fees... are all cheaper everywhere, so why go to our clinic, right? It makes sense, it really makes sense! Doctor Qin, you taught both of us a lesson today!" After a few words, Nie Yawen gradually understood what was going on.

"So that's it! Things in this world are really not that simple! Be taught, be taught!" As he spoke, Bian Mu smiled and gave a polite gesture to Dr. Qin.

"How dare you, how dare you! You are the bread and butter of mediocre people like us. I have always wanted to go over and ask for advice, but then I thought, I can't reach such a high level! It's not a coincidence that we met today! I just came here shamelessly to chat. A few words, what a bother!"

At this moment, two young waitresses began to serve the dishes...
