Chapter 289: Trading at a Loss
More than a dozen apprentices came at once, but the master was only Qian Zhixin, and thanks to the help of Huang Liniang and Qian Ruonan, he could barely take care of it. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info it's just a medical hall or something, and it's definitely not available for the time being.
Qian Zhixin is best at orthopedics, and the basic techniques of orthopedics are not difficult, and he has taught them almost in the past few months. But don't think that you will be able to become a teacher in this way, for orthopedics, theory is secondary, and the most important thing is to rely on practice, and you have to get started in person.
Qian Zhixin told Jiang Helianzi that the hospital could be opened. He first let the apprentices actually observe, and when they have learned almost, they can let them get started in person.
After Jiang Helianzi heard this, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately responded. She chose the nearest auspicious day, which is today, to open the hospital.
On this good day, Zhao Sanniang's family who came to congratulate them was somewhat embarrassed. For no other reason, they haven't seen a single guest come to the door since they entered the door.
However, Jiang Helianzi didn't care at all, and still talked and laughed with Zhao Sanniang.
However, Qian Zhixin, the shopkeeper of the medical hall and the only doctor sitting in the hall, was very worried, and looked at the gate with a solemn expression.
Don't get me wrong, he's not worried that there won't be any customers, on the contrary, he's worried that there will be business coming to him, and he's secretly muttering, come less and come less, it's better not to come.
Why is that? A shopkeeper doesn't want the business in the shop to be good, do you want to do it?
Qian Zhixin is so worried, naturally there is a reason.
Two days ago, Qian Zhixin asked Jiang Helianzi how to determine the consultation fee and medicine fee, whether it should be based on the market price in Fucheng, or reduce it by half. After all, the medical hall is located outside the city, and the location is a bit off, if this is the same price as the city, I am afraid that it will not be able to attract customers.
As a result, Jiang Helianzi said that all of them will be halved, and if there is a difficulty, it can be reduced again, or even not charge money, and this degree is up to him.
Halving them all? Qian Zhixin was blindsided when he heard this, and he didn't listen to the rest of the words at all.
It's okay to say that the money for the medicine is good, Qian Zhixin knows that his family has gone the way of Su Ji, and the purchase price of the medicinal materials he got is very low. If this is sold at half of the market price, except for a small part of the precious and scarce medicinal materials, most of the medicinal materials will not be discounted.
The consultation fee can be halved, which is probably not possible. The family mainly gives people orthopedics and deals with various surgical diseases, and what they earn is the craft money, that is, the consultation fee, if the consultation fee is halved, what else does the family earn.
The hospital is here, and everything costs money. Not to mention anything else, the monthly money of their family of three, as well as the food of the dozen or so apprentices, add up to a lot of money. If you can't make money from the money for medicine and consultation fees, you will definitely lose money.
Jiang Helianzi told Qian Zhixin that if she loses money, she can afford to lose money, so let him not worry, just do what she said. In addition, if she receives enough patients, she will also give him a monthly increase.
The proprietor opened a Chunhuatang and a number of silk and satin shops, rouge shops and spice shops in the city, and vaguely heard that the proprietor had other extremely profitable livelihoods in his hands, and he was definitely not bad for money. Qian Zhixin is not worried that the owner will default on his monthly money because of the loss of the medical center, he believes in the owner, and the owner says that if he does a good job and gives him a monthly increase, it will definitely rise.
Is it really good to just actively trade at a loss like this?
Although he can increase his monthly money if there are more patients who come to his door, the more patients he has, the more his hospital will lose. The thought of this hurts his brain.
Although Jiang Helianzi's medical hall is full of doors, her shop is located at the end of the street, and nine out of ten shops in the nearby shop are closed. In addition, firecrackers were set off at the entrance of the medical center for a long time, which attracted many nearby residents to come and see the excitement.
The properties in this area all belong to Zhao Siniang's family, due to the partial location of these properties and the short lease period, few residents rent for business, and most of them are greedy for cheap rent and rent to live temporarily. This is the case with the Xu family.
However, Jiang Helianzi is very thoughtful. She saw that the rent was unfavorable, so she said to Zhao Sanniang that if others don't come to rent a house to do business, then we will do it ourselves.
According to the situation outside the southern city, you must not be able to do that kind of high-end and high-grade business, and you can only take the most down-to-earth path.
So, Jiang Helianzi first opened a cloth village on the street, of course, silk and satin are not sold, and even the fine cloth is not much on the shelves, almost all of it is homespun.
These homespun cloths are all from Jiang Helianzi's weaving workshop, woven by the improved loom, dense and strong, extremely durable, and then dyed by her family's dyeing workshop, the colors are diverse, and the water does not fade, it is definitely the best choice in the homespun cloth.
The cloth is a good cloth, and Jiang Helian Seed implements the business strategy of small profits and quick turnover, which is very cost-effective in combination. That is, the cloth village is a little biased, and few people know about it, and the business will always be tepid. Gradually, however, there were some repeat customers, and those repeat customers also introduced others to buy them. As a result, the business of the cloth village has been much better recently.
It was not enough to open Buzhuang, she also opened an inn nearby. This is not the first time she has opened an inn, she had opened one in the city a few months earlier.
How did the first inn come about?
It's a long story. It turned out that when Zhao Sanniang counted her family wealth a few months ago, she found that Zhao Siniang was unreliable, and after she used the sugar recipe to exchange a few shops from Su Ji, she actually missed one and never made arrangements, so it was idle in vain. It's a popular shop, or a three-story small building with a garden, even if it is not used for business, it is a big investment to rent to others, and it has been put in vain for half a year, so how much money has to be blind? Fortunately, Zhao Siniang was not at home, otherwise she would have been scolded by Zhao Sanniang.
Such a shop is naturally the best for business. But during that time, Zhao Sanniang was busy taking over the family's business, and she didn't have the energy to open a new shop at all, so she planned to rent out the shop. After Jiang Helianzi heard about it, she directly said that she would rent me, and Zhao Sanniang naturally readily agreed. The family thought that Jiang Helianzi wanted to open a second Chunhuatang, but they didn't expect her to take it and open an inn. Don't look at Jiang Helianzi's first foray into this industry, but she runs the inn quite well.
This time she opened a second inn outside the southern city, and she just transferred a few guys from the first inn to come over, and the previous business methods were all overturned. Not to mention the upper room in this inn, there are no ordinary rooms, all of which are large shops. Nothing but hot water. However, because it only charges three cents a night, it still attracts some dock workers from other places to come to live.
