Chapter 215
Another week passed, and there was still a sea of people outside Rende Hall, with doctors coming in and out in an endless stream. The line of patients had stretched to two intersections, and even alarmed the personnel of the traffic management department to come to maintain order. Only then did they manage to ensure that there was no chaos at the scene.
On this day, the patients in line found that across Rende Hall, a Chinese medicine clinic named Magical Medical Center was officially opened, amid a burst of noise of firecrackers.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Seven or eight young men and women in Chinese Tang costume, holding leaflets, walked to the long line opposite and began to draw the guests over to their side.
"Sir, let's go to our clinic to see patients. There's no need to wait in line. Besides, there's an expert diagnosing for the patient."
"Director Yang and Director Ma of the original Spring Back Hall personally go out to see patients. You don't have to wait, you don't have to line up, and get in the doctor immediately."
"A great guest opening. The first 100 patients will enjoy a 20 percent discount and present the detoxicated throat- wetted tea personally prepared by Director Yang. Come first come first served. It's a rare opportunity!"
In the Magical Medicine House, Yang Youde looked at the lively crowd outside and then at Ma Yuancai beside him. He said with some concern, "Old Ma, is this really useful? Ludington City has no place to take us in. Let's open this Magical Medicine House. I have invested all my savings of these years into it."
Ma Yuancai patted his chest and promised, "Old Yang, what are you talking about? How can a boss open a clinic by himself when he's working elsewhere? You invested 500, 000 yuan this time, and I also invested 700, 000 yuan. The funds are definitely enough now. And I've already contacted Young Master Wu of the drugstore. At that time, they'll provide our Chinese herbs. Although it's a little more expensive than the raw materials in the market, the amount must be sufficient. And as long as our business is good, the cost of herbs is nothing at all."
Yang Youde looked outside at the young men and women who were talking dryly. He was still a little worried and said, "But, but can we attract patients? After all, there are Maxwell and that Qin man in front of us, and the price is cheaper than ours."
"Old Yang, at this time, you don't regret it, do you?" Ma Yuan asked.
Yang Youde said, "Of course not. I've already come to this point. It's too late even if I regret it. I'm just a little worried that I can't start the business."
Ma Yuancai comforted him and said, "Old Yang, don't worry. I have experience in business management. Although the price and reputation of Rende Hall are better than ours, we are not competing with them directly, but going from the side, catching them off guard, and taking advantage of the situation."
"How can I catch him off guard? How can I take advantage of his power?" Yang Youde had been focused on Chinese Medicine, so he really knew nothing about business.
Ma Yuancai explained, "You see, there are so many patients in the Rende Hall. Even if Mr. Ching invited Maxwell to help us, we've taken more than a dozen people with us. They certainly don't have enough staff, and some of the patients in the line certainly won't be able to treat patients. So, we can take this opportunity to recruit those who don't want to wait in line. In this way, we won't directly compete with Rende Hall, but take advantage of the situation. The better the business of Rende Hall is, the better business of our Magic Medical Center will be."
Listening to Ma Yuan's explanation, Yang Youde nodded repeatedly and said that it made sense.
At this time, the men and women who were spreading out leaflets finally achieved some results. They came in with about seven or eight patients with confused faces. Seeing this, Ma Yuan quickly patted Yang Youde and said with a smile, "Old Yang, you see, the business is coming, isn't it?"
The two quickly put on their white coats and diagnosed the patient's condition.
The first one was a middle-aged man in his forties. Ma Yuan quickly read it and made a judgment about the condition. "Your condition is very simple. It's just because of the cough caused by the cold in winter, and your lungs are slightly affected. I'll give you a prescription to ensure that you can cure the disease."

After that, Ma Yuan quickly wrote down a prescription, handed it to the middle-aged man, and then shouted, "The next one."
But before the next patient sat in the chair, the middle-aged man holding the prescription uttered a cry of surprise and said, "Why is it so expensive? It's just a little bit of coughing medicine. It's 120 yuan!"
Upon hearing this, the patient who was about to sit on the chair to see the doctor took a step back with an alert and hesitant look on his face.
Hearing this, Ma Yuancai almost burst into rage. In the past, when he treated patients in Rejuvenation Hall, he gave more than 300 points of medicine at least. Now, for the sake of the Magic Medical Center, he had reduced the cost of Chinese medicine that he didn't need. Unexpectedly, the patients still thought it was too expensive.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Ma Yuan explained, "Sir, the price of our pharmacy's medicine is determined by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. It's all at this price."
However, the middle-aged man didn't buy it. He said angrily, "I don't know what I'm sure of. But my friend only spent ten yuan to buy medicine for his cough and cold when he went to Rende Hall to see a doctor."
"That Qin Haodong is stupid. He doesn't earn money. He only costs about two yuan of medicinal materials at the cost of ten yuan. He can't even earn back the man-made expenses." Of course, Ma Yuancai could only talk like this to himself in his heart.
He suppressed his anger and continued to explain, "Our Magical Medicine Pharmacy was diagnosed by the director of Yang Youde and me. We used to be the chief physician of Rejuvenation Hall, and our registration fee is 100 yuan. This price is really not expensive."
"It's not expensive. I don't know what kind of chief physician you are, but Maxwell and President Qin are the patients of Rende Hall. Are you as famous as them? They don't want the registration fee, but you dare to accept!" The middle-aged man said angrily.

"They're doing face-saving projects. Don't attract patients with the registration fee now, but you'll definitely raise the price in the future. Unlike them, our Magic Medical Center won't do these fake things." Ma Yuancai explained strenuously. "The face project at least brought a low-priced traditional Chinese medicine to the patient. You earn a lot of money against your conscience. Aren't you ashamed to say so?" The middle-aged man became even angrier after hearing the words. Many other patients behind him also echoed.
"Shameless, the unscrupulous merchant said it in such a high-sounding tone."
"I remembered that the media exposed Rejuvenating Hall before because of false Chinese medicine and the delay of illness. Even the grandfather and grandson of the Lee family were all caught. No wonder you are also so bad. It turned out that Rejuvenation Hall came out of unscrupulous traditional Chinese medicine."
"We don't want to see this kind of traditional Chinese medicine. Let's go!"
"Everybody, don't leave!" Yang Youde hurriedly said, "The line at Rende Hall is so long that even if you queue up for a day, it won't be your turn."
"I would rather stand in line than come to your blood-sucking drugstore." The middle-aged man threw the prescription on the ground, and then led the way out. "What a damn medical clinic. I won't come here even if I die." After the middle-aged man took the lead, the dozen or so people who had just gathered, all went outside in a twinkling of an eye.
Seeing this, Ma Yuancai was so angry that his head almost smoked. When he was in Rejuvenation Hall, all the patients fawned and fawned on him. Sometimes they had to give him gifts in private to receive his diagnosis.
He hadn't thought that he would be reduced to the point of being cursed at by these poor and powerless obstinate people. Add to that the anger he'd been holding in his heart during this period of time, he immediately exploded and shouted loudly at the middle-aged man, "Stop right there!"
