Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2192 The Mounter

Due to factors such as family background, innate intelligence, and acquired circumstances, most ordinary people have to start from scratch to become a truly successful boss.

Bian Mu was no exception!
In terms of overall medical skills, Bian Mu is far superior to everyone else, and can even be considered the teacher of all his colleagues, including Liang Xiangyin! This also demonstrates the technical power of the new medical school of "digital medicine".

Can exceptional medical skills guarantee a good business opportunity?!
As it turns out, that wasn't the case!
Medical skills are medical skills, business development is business development, operations are operations, management is management... each has its own accounting and its own rules. Being good at medicine does not necessarily mean being proficient in business management, and being good at business management does not necessarily mean having the ability to develop new markets. Everyone has their own expertise; if you know something, you know it, and if you don't, you don't!
It's not impossible for one person to be multi-talented, but it requires hard work, continuous learning, practice, and even learning from mistakes... It takes many years of trial and error in the market to make a little progress. Bian Mu has a lot of historical shortcomings in these areas, so he needs to systematically and purposefully learn them properly.

The next day at noon, during the lunch break, Bian Mu convened a short video conference with five key staff members: Dr. Ning, Nurse Ye, Dian Shuhua, Teng Daili, and Sun Zhengting. Bian Mu briefly mentioned his plan to reward outstanding junior staff members.

Dr. Ning naturally agreed wholeheartedly, replying with a smile that it should have been done a long time ago. Traditional Chinese medicine has been updating and upgrading at an increasingly rapid pace in recent years, and if you don't study it for a day, you'll fall behind others.

Nurse Ye was a little worried that ongoing costs might increase operating expenses. She discussed it with Bian Shu via video call and clearly agreed to start with the nursing business as a trial. In her opinion, the nursing industry is relatively simple, and they can start the doctor section later depending on the results.

Dian Shuhua suggested that the reward was just a formality, and the cost could be reduced as much as possible, since the honor was also a form of incentive.

Teng Daili echoed some of Dr. Ning's opinions, showing that she now tends to listen more and speak less when faced with problems.

Sun Zhengting suggested that they set aside some time each week to invite Bian Mu to give everyone a class, or to do some internal lectures such as "Case Study Explanation", so that everyone could improve faster.

Upon hearing this, several other colleagues chimed in, saying that Dr. Sun's suggestion reflected their sentiments.

In the video, Bian Mu said a few polite words, saying that the conditions in all aspects were not yet mature, so it would be better to first investigate the situation within the hospital. He had not yet figured out the specifics of how to proceed.

After brainstorming for nearly an hour, Nurse Ye drafted and initially agreed on certain reward rules.

……

As a famous historical and cultural city, Lijin City boasts provincial and municipal libraries that are meticulously constructed, highly automated in their management, and possess a vast collection of books, making them unparalleled in the surrounding cities.

The city library headquarters is a brand-new, modern complex that integrates reading, lecture halls, academic seminars, and more. Except for Mondays when it is closed for maintenance, it is open all day. It closes quite late in the evening, at 22:30 p.m., and is bustling with people, creating a unique atmosphere.

Bian Mu specially selected a copy of "Jiuhuapu Shiyi" to carry with him. Following the relevant tips sent by Su Linwen, he drove to the city library as soon as he got off work.

"Jiuhuapu Shiyi" is an old edition of a pharmaceutical compilation series. "Jiuhuapu" refers to a century-old pharmacy in Lijin. It has now been restructured into a mixed-ownership joint-stock pharmacy. Lei Xiaoxuan is the largest shareholder. It has opened many branches in the city and surrounding counties and townships. Its business has always been lukewarm and not very prominent.

The book's author is a renowned local traditional Chinese medicine doctor, living at least two hundred years ago. It primarily records his experiences regarding the compatibility and incompatibility of medicinal properties, offering unique insights and profound understanding. It is a very valuable reference for traditional Chinese medicine. I, Bian Mu, have long since memorized this copy and occasionally refer back to it for further verification. The city library's book repair window can undertake mounting and repair services, partly to generate revenue for the library, but more importantly, to identify valuable books and documents for the library to acquire.

As a result, the document restoration window on the basement floor of the city library has always been quite lively, with all sorts of people coming and going. Every now and then, generous visitors will donate old books directly to the city library, which can be regarded as seeking a special kind of document protection.

The old pharmacology book in Bian Mu's hand was a fragment. He bought it for more than 500 yuan at the Flower Field Ghost Market. He was going to use it as a prop to test the level of the mounting master's expertise in pharmacology.

There were people queuing ahead of her, so Bian Mu carefully filled out an application form following the instructions.

While waiting in line, Bian Mu followed the example of the visitors in front of him and scanned the pharmaceutical sutra in his hand six or seven times with the help of an electronic scanner. The AI-powered scanner worked quite well and quickly prompted Bian Mu to reply with the desired level of repair.
Bian Mu selected 100% repair on the electronic tablet.

A short while later, the LCD screen behind the scanner displayed a message to Bian Mu stating that the total cost was 213 yuan, and asked if he would accept it.

Bian Mu clicked "Yes" to confirm! Then he took out his phone, scanned the code, and paid 213 yuan.

Ahead of Bian Mu was an elderly woman in her seventies, holding a three-volume set of "Dream of the Red Chamber." The book cover was somewhat damaged, and she was worried about further damage, so she came over to ask a book mounter to repair it. The old lady was very cultured and clearly a die-hard "Redology" enthusiast!
"Auntie! Your book cover is beyond repair, and the paper is already very thin. I can only replace it with a new cover. Is that acceptable?" A man in the window explained to the old lady in a calm tone.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Master Meng!" the old lady said politely with a smile.

"We'll try our best to keep it looking the same as before. Come back and pick it up in three days!" the man sitting at the window said calmly.

"Okay, thank you!" With that, the old lady turned around and slowly walked towards the door.

It was Bian Mu's turn.

"Do you intend to donate this book?" the man sitting by the window asked calmly.

"Oh! From what you're saying, the library's collection is quite lacking in this type of book and material?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"There are a total of 5 sets in the library: photocopies, handwritten copies, reprints... but we couldn't find an original direct print like yours. The content and binding are quite unique, and many words could be completely reproduced after restoration, so it's not easy to find. Therefore, we suggest you donate it. Besides, your expertise in pharmacology has long surpassed these old books. Keeping them is just for entertainment, right?" By the end, the man's words implied that he was quite familiar with Bian Mu.

"you know me?"

"The renowned Master Bian, who in this entire Lijin City can rival you?" The man's tone suddenly changed.
