Chapter 79 Preventive Measures
The Western medicines shipped by Dehua this time include sulfonamide, quinine, aspirin tablets, etc., as well as a complete set of surgical medical devices, and a batch of bandages, gauze, syringes and cotton were given away.
Unfortunately, Frederick's foreign company has too far apart in medicines, and he cannot meet Chen Mingxiang's plan in small fuss. He needs to do a pharmaceutical business.
The Renshan Clinic in the public concession is located in the western section of Wuma Road. It is one of the main residential areas. It has a three-story English building with a large area.
It adopts a Western clinic layout. The first floor has a diagnosis room, pharmacy, isolation room or intensive care unit and operating room. The second floor is a ward, the third floor is a dormitory and office. There is also a small yard behind it, with several bungalows and warehouses.
Chen Mingxiang decorated the place very high-end, atmospheric and elegant. All the furniture is carefully selected and the medical equipment is the most advanced. With the sycamore tree, the golden phoenix has attracted. Now, people who can afford medicine and treat patients in the Shanghai market are definitely not ordinary people.
Currently, there is only one Western doctor, Shen Guozhao, who is still a returnee. He looks gentle and has a bookish atmosphere. He has gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He is in his early thirties.
The two nurses, Chen Xiaodan and Cui Mengyao, are both 24 or 25 years old, are natives from the Shanghai Stock Exchange. They graduated from the Shanghai Stock Exchange Medical College and used to work in the hospital. Their majors were evaluated by Chen Guozhao.
"Boss, your energy is quite large. There are a complete set of brand new imported German medical devices and so many precious Western medicines. I'm afraid there are not so many in the hospital, right?" Chen Guozhao said in surprise.
Who has ever seen a small clinic where sulfamide is calculated based on kilograms? Aspirin tablets are calculated based on 1,000 tablets? There are also many drugs such as atropine, quinine and morphine.
These things, especially sulfonamides, are priced at gold, and people cannot buy one or two pieces of oceans. The Japanese army listed Western medicine as a strategic material that was strictly controlled.
"It's a pity that I lack the access to import now. Dehua Foreign Company's channel relationship network is relatively weak and cannot supply me in large quantities. I don't know when the next batch of drugs will come."
"And there are wars everywhere all over the world. The price of Western medicine is getting higher and higher day by day. All of them have to be settled with gold. Even if I am kind-hearted and earn less, it will be difficult for ordinary people to afford it. At this time, money is not omnipotent." Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.
"Senior brother, there are so many ordinary people in the Shanghai market who don't have the money to take medicine. Since you have this ability, please help them. Not to mention Western medicine, Chinese medicine is also a big expense. Our family can encounter difficulties and collect less money. Just treat it as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue." Lu Kunyu, who followed, said next to him.
This is a clinic run by Chen Mingxiang. It is said to be his own property. Lu Kunyu, the future hostess, has to follow him to inspect.
"Daughty, do you think my money was blown by the strong wind? Do you know how much the rent is? Do you know that this batch of medicines have spent all our gold bars?"
"You are still doing charity. Don't you know where I work? If someone tells me that I am a philanthropist, how can I continue to do it? The clinic will just be closed!" Chen Mingxiang said.
He has a lot of pain in his heart. As a person from the agent headquarters and the special high school department, he actually spent a lot of money to open a clinic and imported medicine to start charity. Isn’t that a joke?
If he was such a person, how could the Japanese dare to continue to trust him? To put it bluntly, the general environment really does not allow it. He is a dignified strategic agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau and not a social philanthropist!
It is not possible to operate secretly. The clinic is located in the public concession territory. In order to avoid trouble, it needs to use his status to ensure safety. What’s more important is that this is not just a clinic, but also a safe haven for comrades to provide shelter.
If a secret agent is seriously injured, he can come here to treat the military bureau and his life safety is guaranteed. With this alone, he has contributed to the military bureau.
Lu Kunyu pouted in displeasure. As a progressive young man in the underground party, she hoped that Chen Mingxiang could do something to "make meritorious service and atone for sins". Although her lover is not a notorious traitor, she has a bad reputation after all.
Another thing is that the underground party’s material procurement team also hopes to get Western medicine. How many soldiers and ordinary people in the base areas died because of lack of medicine. It makes me feel so painful to think about it.
When Zheng Tonghui heard that Chen Mingxiang had opened a clinic, he told Lu Kunyu to inquire about this situation. The opportunity was right. Can you get a batch of underground parties? Western medicine is a contraband and it is too difficult to get it.
"Boss, why are the two standards for your drug price and medical fee?" Shen Guozhao pushed the glasses on his nose and said curiously.
He was able to study abroad, and his family's conditions were not bad, but when the Japanese devils captured the Shanghai market, his family was blown up. In addition to having to bear the family's expenses, his younger brother and sister went to school, he also had to bear the life of his fiancée's family. The hospital's income was really not enough.
According to the salary and benefits of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the doctor's income is about fifty yuan per month, which is equivalent to the monthly salary of two skilled workers. International students like him can get 100 to 150 yuan, but the monthly salary of Renshan Clinic is 300 yuan, which doubles, and can also get commissions.
The salary of nurses in large hospitals is only 30 yuan, but at Renshan Clinic, each of the two nurses can get 100 yuan a month, and there is also a commission.
Chen Mingxiang has a clean reputation. Although he works in the agent headquarters, the translation department chief really cannot arouse people's hatred. It is too unreasonable to say that he is a big traitor.
Of course, you have to make money when opening a clinic, otherwise what should you do if you open it? This is very simple logic!
The three of them don’t object to giving the people some help. They will do this, but the boss needs to pay for medicine, rent, decoration, etc., and the idea of the future boss’s wife is a bit unrealistic.
"You guys should also remember that I am not the kind of unkind businessman who is rich and unkind. The treatment and medicine costs of the clinic are already very low for the people. This is the cost price, rent, and salary, and the lowest price. You cannot do a loser."
"As for high-ranking officials and wealthy people, they charge according to the second set of prices. With such environment and conditions, there are not many companies in the entire Shanghai Stock Exchange. What we want is reasonable. Don't forget that your commission must also be issued from here." Chen Mingxiang said.
As for Renshan Medicine Hall near Jing'an Temple, it is decorated in antique style. The environment inside is very elegant. It has all wooden furniture, wooden floors on the floor, and calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. Traditional Chinese medicine is the main and Western medicine is supplemented. Two famous old Chinese medicine doctors were invited to take the clinic every day, and two apprentices were responsible for taking medicine.
