Chapter 2189 New Types of Medical Aesthetics Are More Profitable

Seeing the man walk away, Su Linwen asked curiously, "He's just a dentist! Why is he dressed like a CEO?!"

"Hey! A well-known hospital in China, renowned for decades, and the largest specialized hospital in Lijin. It has branches in major first-tier cities across the country and is quite successful. I heard they're preparing to apply for an overseas listing! You can hardly see any medical aura in this person anymore; he's probably already switched to administration!"

"No wonder he seemed so arrogant, turns out he's a senior executive!"

"Absolutely! An annual salary of at least 300 million, that's incredibly generous!"

"Judging from his tone just now, it seems like he doesn't know you! Why are you being so polite?"

"He's probably already paid for our table, you know? The most advanced dental implants they have at that hospital, even the best ones, will need to be done again in ten or eight years if you have enough money. They've been talking about internal implants for over two years, but it still hasn't been implemented. Right now, implants are still the mainstream! As for me, I insist on caring for and adjusting my old teeth, taking a completely different approach. It's just that the cost in terms of energy and brainpower is a bit high right now, so it's not easy to promote. They're all incredibly shrewd; they know all about the future development trends of my approach! In the not-too-distant future, we might actually be competing with each other on a technical level!"

"Oh! You're now capable of taking their jobs?!" Su Linwen replied with undisguised delight.

"Theoretically speaking, that's how it is. Judging from the way he walks, he was probably a pretty good dentist before, and then he switched to administration. The surgery I performed on Ms. Le Xiaojuan, a female patient with a special dental condition, means something that man just now clearly understood. That's why he came over to get closer to her. If we really run into any trouble or conflicts in the future, wouldn't it be easier to talk things over then?" Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Really? I have a feeling he's trying to recruit you!"

"Insightful! That's why everyone praises you for being smart! Actually... what he's doing isn't new at all. In ancient times, skilled people had already exhausted all of this! It's still the mainstream of dental treatment, no doubt about it! However, they know better than anyone how valuable my approach really is! Rather than waiting for you to grow bigger and stronger before competing with them for business, they'd rather spend a lot of money to 'capture' people like us first! Then they'll give us a gilded bench somewhere, while at the same time, they'll try to indirectly isolate us from dental patients. Over time, my skills will either be completely absorbed by them, or I'll gradually fade out of the medical field due to marginalization or other reasons!"

"No way? That's so underhanded!" Su Linwen was genuinely shocked to hear this.

"In short, they really put a lot of thought into it. As the saying goes, profit moves people's hearts. Dental profits are quite considerable, and they can think of all sorts of things to do with those high profits!"

"It sounds like a spy movie. It seems that no matter what industry you're in, or how deep the profits are, people's petty schemes will only get deeper!" Su Linwen couldn't help but sigh.

"Who says otherwise! I also encountered a rather interesting little thing these past two days." As she spoke, Bian Mu mentioned that a family of three came to her, trying to defy fate and use miraculous medicine and techniques to completely remove the post-operative scars on their daughter's hand.

"There really is such a person?! You mean... if you set aside some funds and staff to casually start a cosmetic surgery studio, not only would you make some money, but you'd also put pressure on other competitors?!"

"Absolutely! Ophthalmology, dentistry, cosmetic medicine—and we're dealing with brand-new, affordable, and highly effective medical aesthetic procedures. All things considered, patients can get better results for a quarter of the original price. Tell me... how are those cosmetic medicine companies going to survive?!"

"That's really true! Then you're not... Good heavens! You'd have to build a super medical complex, wouldn't you?!"

"Of course! General practitioners! As long as they put their heart into it, it's not difficult to branch out into Chinese-style surgery, Chinese-style hematology, and so on. Ten years is a long time, who can withstand that?!"

"You really plan to do this?!" "How could I! I'm not Nezha, with three heads and six arms. I'm just trying to run my clinic well! There's no such thing as enough wealth in the world!"

"You scared me! You really do have that ability! Do those people know about it?" Su Linwen seemed to realize something and quickly asked.

“They are somewhat aware of it, but… there are too many logical points involved. Right now, they just think that I can’t possibly be perfect in every aspect. By the time everything is almost finished, I’ll be like Elder Nie, too old to move.” Bian Mu said with a smile.

"Haha...that's true! Funding, personnel, business training...every step costs money, and after a year, you've almost lost it all," Su Linwen replied with a laugh.

As they chatted, Su Linwen suddenly remembered someone.

“There’s a paperhanger on the basement floor of the city library. I’ve met him in person. He’s in his thirties, I think… quiet and reserved, with an extraordinary air about him. I heard he used to work in a pharmacy at a big hospital, but then he changed careers for some reason. Now he sits there every day repairing books, and his skills are superb. For a while, our boss specially invited him to help us repair a batch of rare foreign language materials. That’s when I heard that he used to be incredibly famous. He must be the kind of amazing pharmacist you’re talking about, right? I’ll ask him later to see if he’s a Western or Chinese medicine practitioner.” Su Linwen was always particularly concerned about Bian Mu’s affairs. She spoke with a smile, but her mind was racing, not for any other reason than to rack her brains to introduce Bian Mu to a very good pharmacist.

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu's eyes lit up.

“Lijin City has a long history, full of hidden talents, you know… that man you mentioned seems to have some background. The clinic is newly established, so we can't hire someone with mediocre skills as a pharmacist! Okay! I'll go meet him another day. Give me the address in detail…”

"Okay! I'll send it to your phone!" With that, Su Linwen edited a text message and sent it to Bian Mu's phone.

Just then, Bian Mu's phone rang.

The phone number is Nurse Sun.

"Someone just came to my house and inexplicably gave me a cell phone, an iPhone, it must be worth over ten thousand yuan, guess what! What did they ask me about?"

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu was taken aback.

"Bringing gifts to your place?! Registering an appointment? That's a bit much, isn't it? Giving a fruit phone? Is that really necessary?!"

"Who says otherwise! After asking my mom carefully, I found out that she was asking about Teacher Sima!"

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu immediately guessed what was going on.

It turns out that the seemingly gentlemanly father had a sudden inspiration and, through connections, actually managed to find Nurse Sun's home. He really went to great lengths!
