Lu Yuan sat in the car for a while before getting out.
He had lectured the Scarecrow at length because he saw there were customers in the hospital, and he couldn’t let the Scarecrow frighten anyone.
The moment the woman waiting in the reception hall saw Lu Yuan, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
A salesperson naturally has good judgement. At first glance, she knew this must be the owner here!
The woman immediately took out an exquisitely made business card holder and stood by Lu Yuan's side, holding out her business cards with both hands. She said, "Hello Doctor Lu. I’m Sun Ying from X-Region’s Starlight Pharmaceutical Group."
X-Region?
Starlight Pharmaceutical?
Sales representative?
As soon as he heard these key factors, Lu Yuan knew what she was here for.
A business representative is a salesperson who comes to promote their pharmaceutical products.
In recent years, Lu Yuan has encountered many such people.
He waved his hand with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, we're a surgical clinic here and don't deal with pharmaceuticals."
"Huh?!"
Sun Ying and Wei were both stunned.
You don’t deal with pharmaceuticals?!
Sun Ying understood instantly. She immediately said, "You mean you’re not free to talk now? No problem, we can wait!"
Sun Ying folded a newspaper-like item and put it in the pocket of Lu Yuan's white coat. "Doctor, this is our price list. Take a look when you have time!"
She then lowered her voice, "Our Starlight Group is the top pharmaceutical group in X-Region. The Lin Business Association backing the group is X-Region’s number one financial clique."
"You can rest assured about the quality of our pharmaceuticals. And our prices are almost a third cheaper than the Tianyu Group in X Region!"
Sun Ying was offering exceptionally attractive terms. Anyone else might have already led her to the conference room to discuss further.
But Lu Yuan only paused briefly. He didn’t bother talking much with Sun Ying.
Just then, Liu Yuan came out from inside the clinic. "Dr. Lu, operating room number four is ready. We can start the surgery anytime."
Lu Yuan nodded. "Okay. Ms. Sun Ying is a business representative from the Starlight Group. Please give her a tour of our clinic."
As soon as Liu Yuan heard she was a pharmaceutical sales representative who wanted a clinic tour, she immediately understood Lu Yuan’s intention.
This was Lu Yuan’s killer tactic for dealing with these pharmaceutical company sales representatives.
Thirty minutes passed.
In that half hour, Liu Yuan had led Sun Ying and Wei around the clinic upstairs and downstairs, but skipped the basement warehouse.
Because as soon as they opened the door at the end of the corridor, the cold air mixed with the smell of formaldehyde blew up from below. As someone in the industry, Sun Ying instantly realized what that place was.
The morgue, colloquially known as the funeral parlor.
However, seeing the sign "Open to visit at this time, please be cautious when entering" posted on the basement warehouse door, Sun Ying and Wei felt a chill.
The two really couldn’t understand Doctor Lu’s weird hobby.
After the tour, Sun Ying and Wei stood facing each other speechlessly in the clinic's reception hall. Both were rendered speechless.
This clinic really didn’t have a pharmacy!
They couldn’t even smell a trace of modern pharmaceuticals!
As a sales representative who had visited hundreds of hospitals and clinics over her years in the industry, Sun Ying had seen all kinds of eccentric ones. But this pharmacy-less clinic was definitely among the top.
Now Sun Ying just wanted to drag Doctor Lu out and ask, hey man, why did you open this clinic?
Is it a charity?
Do you know what pharmaceutical revenue means for a medical institution?!
Are you not interested in making money at all?
Right now, Lu Yuan was upstairs operating on Huang Ming, so only Liu Yuan was left to accompany Sun Ying and Wei.
Looking at Liu Yuan, Sun Ying couldn't help asking, "Nurse, why doesn't your Doctor Lu deal with pharmaceuticals?"
Liu Yuan pointed towards the city center of Yun City and said, "Yun City's Xia Group has stores selling nutritional recovery fluids. For minor colds and fevers, people usually get well by drinking nutritional fluids. "
"As for patients with slightly more severe conditions, our treatment principle is―"
"Replacement instead of recovery."
Sun Ying: "..."
Wei: "..."
"Pfff―"
Wei, who had just taken a sip of water, spat it all out instantly. He stared blankly at Liu Yuan and asked, "Replacement instead of recovery?"
Liu Yuan nodded. "Yes, replacement instead of recovery. You heard right."
Sun Ying rubbed her forehead. For a moment, this elite sales representative with many years of experience, Starlight Group’s top salesperson last year, was actually at a loss for words. She had no idea what to say.
So replacement instead of recovery just means doing surgery?
It sounds...okay, doesn’t it?
"Well, thank you Nurse Liu. We should get going now..."
As a sales representative with tremendous drive, Sun Ying really didn’t want to say this.
Because to her, this sentence signified failure.
However, the reality was right before her eyes.
Finally, Liu Yuan saw them off to their car.
Long, who had been sitting in the car, was no longer anxious and hypoglycemic like before. But as soon as he saw Liu Yuan, he broke out in sweat again instantly.
Seeing Sun Ying and Wei chatting breezily with Liu Yuan all the way, Long knew interacting smoothly was basic professional conduct for salespeople. However...
Long looked forward to seeing their expressions later.
Once both boarded the car and Sun Ying bid Liu Yuan goodbye, Long stepped on the gas and drove away from the medical school.
Right after leaving the medical school gates, Long said, "Boss, something’s not right with that girl just now..."
Sun Ying seemed preoccupied. Wei asked from the passenger seat, "Bro Long, no way. In your eyes, is no one normal in that clinic?"
Long instinctively wanted to nod, but then he thought of Little Chen. That guy really was a warrior...
The car drove towards the outskirts of Yun City. The hazy western horizon gradually revealed a red glow as evening approached.
Suddenly, Sun Ying, who hadn’t spoken the whole journey, forcefully slapped Long’s seat. "Long, go back! We'll stay overnight in Yun City tonight!"
Long didn't say anything and made a U-turn back immediately. Wei asked in surprise, "Sis Sun, we've gone so far already. Going back now will delay our plans! We still have several other hospitals to visit!"
At this moment, Sun Ying's weathered face unexpectedly revealed a trace of decisiveness and determination. She stated firmly, "There must be something unique about this clinic!"
"I dare to guarantee this Doctor Lu doesn’t deal with pharmaceuticals because he must be extremely skilled in other areas!"
"I have a hunch we probably can't become this Doctor Lu's drug supply channel, but..."
"He may be able to provide technological support in certain areas for our Starlight Group!"
Wei frowned. "Sis Sun, no way. We’re already the most technologically advanced medical group in X-Region. How can he provide us with technological support?"
"Sis Sun, your idea is too fanciful..."
Sun Ying shook her head. "Did you see the business bulletin board in their reception hall?"
Wei: "I saw it. Their clinic mainly provides three services: medical cosmetology, prosthetic limb installation, and physical enhancements for ability users."
Sun Ying: "I asked about their prices. Their mechanical prosthetic limbs―the cheapest prosthetic hand is 50,000 yuan a pair."
"Pfff!"
Wei nearly choked on his own saliva.
"What the heck, the cheapest prosthetic limb is 50,000 yuan a pair?! That's daylight robbery!"
"Today, plastic prosthetic limbs cost less than 500 yuan! Could theirs be made of alloys?"
"But alloy ones would be too cheap at 200,000 yuan minimum, even without neural integration!"
"Sis Sun, it's a shady clinic!"
Sun Ying looked at the retreating scenery outside the window and murmured, "Wei, do you know why I only asked Long to turn back after going so far?"
"Why?"
"Because just now, I fell into the same mental trap as you."
"Wei, I'm just asking you, if this clinic wasn't opened in this remote Yun City, but was opened in the S district of Sujing or the X district of Xidu, facing this kind of price, what would you think?"
"......"
The car went silent for a few seconds before Wei mumbled: "I, I would think, does this clinic's prosthetic limbs have some kind of special function? How can it sell for so much..."
"So how come when it's in Yun City, you just assume they must be selling the cheapest plastic prosthetic limbs for 50,000 yuan?"
"I...I don't know."
"Wei, you've been deceived by your ingrained way of thinking."
"......"
This time the car stayed quiet for a longer time.
"Sis Sun, I was wrong."
