Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1927 New Words Lead the Way

Wen Boyong's skillful maneuvering largely compensated for the lack of technical expertise in his specialized hospital. To this day, the hospital, which mainly treats diabetes, continues to operate normally, and Bian Mu has never heard anyone mention that Director Wen is worried about having too few patients.

In Bian Mu's opinion, Wen Boyong's medical skills were only average. As he got older, Wen Boyong's ambition waned considerably, and he made little progress in his medical skills.

Bian Mu had met several key doctors at the specialized hospital and felt that their medical skills were mediocre. At most, they could only maintain the normal operation of a specialized hospital. Medical technology innovation and enterprising business philosophy seemed to have nothing to do with them.

Anyway, Bian Mu looked down on Wen Boyong to some extent. Intentionally or unintentionally, Bian Mu and Wen Boyong were never very close, and even somewhat estranged.

however……

As the number of patients at his own traditional Chinese medicine clinic increased dramatically, Bian Mu gradually realized that the diabetes specialist hospital opened by Dean Wen actually had its own rationale for existence.

Supermarkets are everywhere in Lijin City, on every street corner. There are high-end ones, huge ones, small and exquisite ones, convenience stores, those focusing on low prices, those mainly selling snacks… all types and sizes abound. Anyone can choose any location and find one within a short walk. Is it superfluous?!

Not at all!

Each has its own unique features and uses, which have greatly facilitated the lives of citizens and tourists from other places, while also solving employment problems for many people.

Consumption is actually tiered. Each consumer group has its own specific consumer market, and every logical link in the market is indispensable. This applies to supermarket operations as well as medical institutions.

It's an era where health awareness is increasing!

Bian Mu has his own specific customer base, and so does Wen Boyong. Neither of them can completely replace the other, and they can't even talk about business coverage. Putting everything else aside, just in terms of hospitalization alone, "Xin G20" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic can't compare to the specialized hospital run by the Wen family.

Having figured this out, Bian Mu's understanding of the medical market deepened considerably, and he gained a greater appreciation for Wen Boyong. When they met again, he was much more polite and no longer harbored the same disdain as before.

……

Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Wen Boyong smiled and casually said, "Those young members of the Cen family always look so glamorous, but how long has it been since Old Master Cen officially retired?! They're already starting to struggle. Don't you have any ideas?" "Hehe... As you know, my clinic is still borrowed, the new medicine has just started to be sold, and manpower is limited. Business has been lukewarm at best. It's like a man crossing a river in mud, barely able to protect himself! Why would I covet what's in someone else's pot?! That would be asking for trouble!" Bian Mu casually replied, not falling for Wen Boyong's trick at all.

Even though he knew Bian Mu was just giving lip service, Wen Boyong still patiently continued the conversation. He had no choice; there were some things he really couldn't handle without Bian Mu's involvement.

"The Cen family's business is much larger than you imagine. Just a small portion of it would be enough for us to eat and drink. You know, with my meager savings... I don't earn much money in a year. A few years ago, I was thinking of trying to open a few health and wellness centers. Alas! Cen Songxue and the others are too capable; they don't leave any room for our level at all. Now that he's suddenly fallen on hard times, I'm planning to pick a few places and open some proper health and wellness centers, the brand new kind, with a focus on diabetes prevention and post-diabetes care, providing better health services to patients in a down-to-earth manner, really! Influenced by you, firstly, I must strive for innovation, even if it's just minor innovation; secondly, I will focus on the patients' health and carefully and meticulously provide various services outside of hospitals. It benefits both myself and others, so why not?! This kind of opportunity is rare; if you're not careful, someone else will beat you to it." Wen Boyong was eloquent; although he was clearly trying to make more money, his words still sounded so dignified.

"Well... I understand your meaning to some extent, but I have no funds and know nothing about management. How can I participate? Should I take out a loan? Or seek cooperation with others?! There are so many things to deal with, I really can't keep up these days!" Bian Mu declined directly with a smile.

“You have such innovative ideas! And your technical expertise is so comprehensive, that’s your biggest asset. I’ll take care of all the other miscellaneous things. After it’s done, we’ll split the profits 50/50, or 40/60, you get 60% and I get 40%! Think about it?!” Abandoning his usual smooth manner, Wen Boyong directly started discussing terms.

"You flatter me! The settlement of the new drug sales is enough to give me a headache. Usually, after work, most of my energy and time are spent on that. I always feel like I don't have enough time. And now you're suddenly bringing up the idea of ​​jointly operating a health club. It's not very realistic!" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

Seeing that Bian Mu kept making excuses, Wen Boyong was a little unhappy.

"It's not that I'm being presumptuous or afraid to say too much, but at least... looking back thirty years and observing for the next thirty years, the opportunity to take over the market share of the Cen family is truly one in a million. Even if you don't say it, I don't believe you're completely unaware of the little tricks Zhao Xicheng and Lei Xiaoxuan have been up to behind the scenes! Practicing medicine and making money aren't contradictory, brother! Otherwise, why did you develop that 'detoxifying ointment'? Wasn't it also to make more money?" Well! Wen Boyong managed to mix together a lot of logic that had no direct causal relationship and launched into a long discussion.

Bian Mu had a good habit of respecting the elderly since childhood. Even though he knew that Dean Wen was getting a little angry and speaking recklessly, he couldn't possibly argue with him.

"You mentioned the 'detoxifying plaster,' but I forgot to ask. What's its clinical efficacy?" Bian Mu cleverly shifted the topic to the clinical application survey of the "detoxifying plaster."

“It’s really good! It’s practically a miracle drug. You have no idea how many problems we had before were solved after using your medicine. More than half of them were resolved. They even said that with such a good sales prospect, you just wouldn’t let it go into mass production. To be honest, your approach is a bit...unconventional!” Wen Boyong replied with a smile.

"As long as it works! What new projects should be added to the health and wellness center under the new concept? What new professional qualities should the relevant medical staff possess? What are the new focuses of health and wellness? These are things that I haven't really thought about much. I can't help it, my energy is limited, and I simply can't keep up. You are an expert, and you can tell from my words that everything I say is true. Right now, even if we take over all of Cen's venues, if nothing is 'new', you might as well do the math. With all the manpower and resources being used, will the cost exceed the actual benefits or the opposite?!" Knowing that Wen Boyong might not listen to some of these words in his lifetime, Bian Mu still patiently offered a few words of advice. In his words, he firmly opposed hastily getting involved in the new TCM health and wellness center business at this time.

Upon hearing this, Wen Boyong fell silent for a moment.
