Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1764: Changes and Changes
There was a large portion of pasta, saffron chicken, lamb with potatoes, Kokal steak, another large portion of vegetable salad, and a large fruit platter. After the dishes were served, the waiter specifically asked for Bian Mu's opinion so that he could bring a glass of red wine later.

"Thank you. I don't usually drink. Thank you for your hard work!" After saying that, Bian Mu took out a few hundred-dollar bills from his trouser pocket, secretly selected three and stuffed them into the waiter's hand.

"Thank you!" After saying thank you politely, the waiter turned around and walked out.

"You made a special trip just for Xiao Zhang's matter?" Mrs. Mai asked with a smile and went straight to the point.

Bian Mu felt a little embarrassed for a moment after his purpose was pointed out to him in front of him.

For a long time, Mrs. Mai has been taking good care of her younger sister Xiaoyue. In addition, Su Linwen and Qi Yuewei have also tried their best. If it weren't for the dedicated care of the three of them, Bian Yue would not have been so quiet in school.

Mrs. Mai is famous and rich, and Bian Mu can't usually help her much, so he always feels that he owes her a lot of favors. When Assistant Zhang encountered a problem, he went straight to her house to discuss the matter, which was indeed a bit too much.

"Now that she's leaving, it's not very convenient for me to sell the Chinese patent medicines, so..." As he spoke, Bian Mu gave a detailed account of how he accidentally met Ms. Chang, an important shareholder of "Yiyoukang".

After listening for a long time, a relieved smile gradually appeared on Mrs. Mai's face.

"It's God's will! I can only say it's God's will. You know me. I don't know anything about medical matters! These past two days I've been thinking of asking you to hold the shares on my behalf. You can get a share of the dividend at the end of the year, which you can consider as saving up some dowry for your Xiaoyue." Mrs. Mai said with a smile.

After hearing this, Bian Mu felt much more relieved.

Things in the business world are always very unpredictable. Things may go well one moment but turn against each other the next. A huge amount of compensation is just a matter of signing a signature. Bian Mu sees business celebrities all day long, and he has seen similar things quite often!
Once your mind is calm, the delicious food in front of you will taste better and better.

"Hey! Tell me the truth, what is the future business prospect of 'Yiyoukang'?! My old Luo... After all, he has been immersed in this industry for many years, and he left the company without hesitation... There should be some reason for him, right?" Mrs. Mai is very smart. She must find out through various channels whether "Yiyoukang" can make money in the future.

"How should I put it... Based on my usual impression, 'Yiyoukang' should already be at a mid-to-lower level. In the future... If the innovation efforts are not up to standard... The future prospects are indeed worrying!" Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Bian Mu told the truth.

"Go bankrupt right here?! Or be eaten up by your peers?"

"The probability of a merger is higher, right? I am even less knowledgeable than you in this area, so I can't make any nonsense."

"We are one family, don't be modest! Well... aren't you an expert in numerology? Compared to that new pharmaceutical company that Tao Wenjie is running, how long can Yiyoukang last?"

"This... I haven't really thought about it this way... However, compared with the new company that President Tao is planning to build, if the company fails to come up with new drugs or new AI-level medical facilities and medical equipment, can it still make money for three or four years?! I really can't say for sure." Bian Mu smiled and said a few humble words.

"Three or four years?! Is it that bad?! Are you sure?"

"I don't know much about the business world, so I can't make any rash comments. But if we refer to the renewal and elimination rate of our TCM industry, the outlook for the next three or four years is still optimistic!"

"Really? If you say so... Xiao Zhang should just stay there and not waste time! She's not young anymore. She'll be thirty soon. I'm afraid it will be even harder for her to get along in the circle in the future."

After hearing this, Bian Mu's mind was a little stuck. He was still confused after talking for a long time.

While drinking soup, Bian Mu's mind raced for a long time.

"From what you said, are you also interested in offering a discount for cash withdrawals?" Bian Mu asked tentatively.

"I do have this consideration. You don't know that Luo Jiaming is not a free man in the industry. During this period, he has been insisting on cashing in like a ghost. He must have his considerations. What you just said, I must reconsider it." OK! Mrs. Mai seemed to have a sudden change of mind.

Well! All in vain. It was hard to respond to the conversation, so Bian Mu simply chose to remain silent. The food on the table was indeed top quality, so Bian Mu buried his head and continued to eat.

"But...after you get the money, should you deposit it in the bank? With the current interest rate...invest it in a friend's place?! There doesn't seem to be any good projects worth risking in recent years...so annoying!"

"It doesn't matter! Things will turn out well if you take your time. Anyway, it's not something to be rushed. Besides, I haven't said a word to Mr. Chang yet. Maybe, Yiyoukang will just be like this, and our fate with you will end here."

"I like what you said! Really! Is it enough? Seeing that you are eating so happily, let them prepare some desserts?" OK! Mrs. Mai changed the subject and stopped talking about holding shares on behalf of others and cooperating to overturn the board meeting resolution.

Bian Mu needs to be more sensible.

"No, no! This restaurant serves authentic Western food. You go ahead and do your work. I have to go to the outpatient clinic tomorrow. I'll be back first."

"I'll arrange a car to take you there!"

"Really? I just finished eating! Let's take a walk on the way to digest it."

"Okay!" After saying that, Mrs. Mai slightly adjusted the shawl on her shoulders and insisted on escorting Bian Mu to the hotel entrance.

……

The evening wind was getting stronger, and it was still a bit chilly on his body. As he walked along the road heading due east, Bian Mu felt extremely discouraged.

Compared to practicing medicine, doing business is really difficult.

Whether it is medicine or pharmaceuticals, there are certain rules. As long as he has a good brain, Bian Mu is confident that he can grow into a decent famous doctor in time.

Doing business is completely different. Everything changes in an instant, and it seems that there are no rules at all. The ups and downs in the business world are somewhat like gambling on your fortune. It is too difficult!
After much thought, Bian Mu felt that Assistant Zhang was probably out of luck this time, and would have to start a new business in the future. In addition, the future of Bian Mu's small business of developing traditional Chinese medicine was probably bleak, at least there was not much hope in the near future.

so tired!

Seeing that they were almost at Fengyue Tower, Bian Mu stopped, hailed a taxi on the side of the road and returned to the Wu family's old house.

As soon as I entered the door, my cell phone beeped, as if someone had sent me a text message.

I opened it casually and saw that it was sent by Mrs. Mai?!

The content of the text message is very simple: You will have to hold the shares for a while. I will find out more about Ms. Chang for you. Don’t contact her for now!

For a moment, Bian Mu's brain was somewhat short-circuited.

"Is it like this for all businessmen? Is there any certainty in the changes?" Bian Mu couldn't accept it in his heart and couldn't help but feel a little repulsed by the business circle.

After sitting quietly on the sofa for a while, Bian Mu decided not to think about the trivial things in front of him. He got up, took a shower in the bathroom, changed into pajamas, and went into the study to prepare to write a long essay on the seven difficulties in life.

……

The next morning, Bian Mu was seeing three patients as usual when Guan Yuelin suddenly came to visit him.
