In the room, Fang Le and Zhang Xiyue stood by the window, looking at the night scene outside.
I have been to Shanghai Rebirth Qianle more than once, but Shanghai at this time is really different from that time. Although it is an international metropolis, there are still old buildings everywhere.
Not far away you can see many small vendors setting up night markets.
In the 1990s, the reform of state-owned enterprises had a considerable impact on Shanghai, ushering in a large number of laid-off workers, and stalls were a source of income for many laid-off workers.
"It's getting late. Let's try another day if we have a chance. Aren't you tired from the long flight?"
Zhang Xiyue held Fang Le's arm and rested her head on Fang Le's shoulder.
Fang Le is not short, and most girls can't really reach Fang Le's shoulders, but Zhang Xiyue is not short, with long legs, and they really match Fang Le very well.
"But Shanghai and Jiangzhong are indeed different."
"Shanghai is definitely much bigger than Jiangzhong, and its economy is better than Jiangzhong."
Fang Le said with a smile.
He couldn't help but think of a joke from later generations.
It is said that the new country has four sons, and Northeast is the eldest son. It is the son born to a poor couple when they were young and poor. Heavy industry is there, and Northeast has sacrificed a lot for the construction of the country.
Yanjing is the legitimate son and has a sense of superiority since he was born.
Hushang is the son who returned from studying abroad, with that refined arrogance.
Deep Sea is a young child, gathering thousands of favors and enjoying all kinds of resources and benefits...
Not to mention, this summary is indeed quite vivid.
At this time, Shanghai is still the vane of national trends, especially in clothing, shoes, jewelry, etc. Many local manufacturers across the country judge the market based on the trends in Shanghai.
"Fang Le, is there a supermarket here in Shanghai?"
Zhang Xiyue suddenly asked Fang Le.
Fang Le was a little surprised: "Yeah, Mr. Zhang has quite a strategic vision now."
"Come again."
Zhang Xiyue glared at Fang Le angrily.
"some."
Fang Le thought for a while and said: "The earliest self-selected shopping malls in Shanghai were probably small convenience stores. Later, several self-selected shopping malls were merged into hypermarkets, which is the size of Lezhang Supermarket today."
In Fang Le's memory, supermarkets in Shanghai were very early. There were self-selected supermarkets in the late 1980s. In 1991, the first supermarket in Shanghai was probably Lianhua, a chain model, and the business was quite booming at that time.
After that, more than 200 supermarkets such as Hualian, Nonggongshang and others popped up one after another, and the competition was very fierce.
In 1994, Lianhua was upgraded to a hypermarket, which is the current area of Le Zhang Supermarket. Lianhua was later the predecessor of Carrefour.
"If you have time these days, you can go to the supermarkets in Shanghai and take a look. There are many supermarkets here, and the competition is quite fierce."
Fang Le said to Zhang Xiyue with a smile.
There are also smaller self-selection stores on the Jiangzhong side, but they cannot compare with Le Zhang Supermarket in terms of scale and aspects.
As the saying goes, good fortune lies in misfortune and good fortune lies in misfortune. Lezhang Supermarket experienced the Chi Feiyang incident and was promoted under Fang Le's suggestion. Now five chain supermarkets have opened at the same time. It can be said that it has become a brand supermarket in Jiangzhong City.
Now when people in Jiangzhong mention supermarkets, the first thing they think of is Lezhang Supermarket. In the short term, almost no one dares or has the strength to compete with Lezhang Supermarket. Lezhang Supermarket is definitely a dominant model in Jiangzhong City. Mr. Zhang is now
He is also a rich man with an annual income of tens of millions.
However, the competition among supermarkets in Shanghai is still very fierce. If Lezhang Supermarket wants to expand to Shanghai, Lianhua, which is the future Carrefour, should be the most powerful competitor of Lezhang Supermarket.
"good."
Zhang Xiyue nodded. She also wanted to see the situation in the supermarkets here in Shanghai. When she went to Shenhai, there were many supermarkets there, but the marketing methods of the supermarkets there were far behind what Fang Le taught them.
.
At this time, the competition model of most supermarkets still uses price reduction as the main means, and they engage in price wars, which leads to a lot of attracting people.
There are almost no means such as Lezhang Supermarket membership points, membership cards, and coupons. Such means are actually where chain stores can really attract customers.
As long as it is a chain supermarket, the membership card can be used universally, which is also the advantage of brand stores.
However, the biggest flaw of physical stores is that they are easily imitated, so it is necessary to understand the market at all times and keep pace with the times.
The most important thing is that Fang Le plans to shift his focus to medical care within the next year at most, so that the supermarket's funds will not be too abundant.
As for medical care, it is unlikely that there will be any dividends in the short term, and the initial investment is very large.
To make top-notch medical devices in the country and keep the prices of medical devices down, thus reducing the cost of medical treatment, this is the most important thing that Fang Le has to do in this life.
As a reborn person and a hospital worker, Fang Le knows very well what the main cost of medical treatment is, and equipment and consumables account for a large proportion.
As far as cardiac stents are concerned, the price of imported stents will remain high until the quality of domestic stents meets the requirements in all aspects.
For the same consumables, as long as the quality of domestic consumables keeps up and the prices are kept down, there will definitely be no place for expensive foreign consumables. This is inevitable.
Moreover, Fang Le still has influence in the medical field and will have a say when the time comes.
On the one hand, we use the medical experience of our previous lives to improve domestic medical standards and improve our status and influence in the industry. On the other hand, we use the knowledge of our previous lives to improve the quality and level of domestic equipment and consumables. When the time comes, we will combine the two to lower the cost of medical treatment.
This is a great achievement.
Otherwise, Fang Le could be very comfortable whether he was just a doctor or a businessman in this life, so why bother to work so hard?
.......
Shanghai Hospital.
Niu Baohua left the guest house, but did not rush home. Instead, he returned to the office of the inpatient department.
It was so late, the doctors had basically gone off work, and there were only doctors and nurses on duty in the department. When Director Niu came suddenly, the nurses and doctors on duty were a little surprised, and they quickly stopped being lazy.
There are not many patients on duty at night, so it is relatively relaxed. In addition, there are few leaders, and the sudden arrival of Director Niu puts pressure on the doctors on duty.
Also following Niu Baohua at the guest house in the evening was deputy director Wang Genglin.
The two of them entered the office. Niu Baohua stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down, Lao Wang, what do you want to drink?"
"I drank a lot of tea just now, but I won't drink it now. It's all bloated."
Wang Genglin said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Dr. Fang doesn't drink alcohol, but he is quite good at drinking tea."
Fang Le doesn't like drinking very much, but drinking tea comes from his family. He learned it from his father, and he is also very particular about drinking tea. Since he has no shortage of money, he drinks only good tea.
Niu Baohua knows this and has prepared good tea tonight. The biggest advantage of the hospital guest house is that as long as you can think of it, you can have it here. Even if it is not available, you will find a way to have it.
At this time, the guest houses of government agencies and units were all in the back gardens of their own homes. To put it simply, they were not short of money, especially when entertaining distinguished guests.
Some things that are not available in big hotels can be found here, such as good tea, wine and cigarettes, some of which cannot be bought outside.
"It's better not to drink."
Niu Baohua smiled and said: "Drink tea to keep healthy."
"It's to keep in good health, but I can't sleep at night."
Wang Genglin said with a smile.
"By the way, how's the liver source thing going?"
Niu Baohua asked.
It is actually relatively easy to find patients who are truly suitable for liver transplantation, but it becomes more difficult if the patient and the liver source are both available.
Those who can do liver transplantation and are willing to do liver transplantation are all wealthy people. This is a screening process, plus the liver source...
"Don't worry, Director. Although there is no news for the time being, it doesn't mean that we can't find it. It just requires a process. Currently, there are few doctors in China who can perform liver transplantation. Patients in this area have almost no choice. We are looking for suitable patients across the country.
."
Wang Genglin laughed.
"That's true."
Niu Baohua nodded.
While the two were talking, the attending doctor suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
"Director Niu, Director Geng, the emergency department called and asked us to send someone for consultation, at least the deputy senior officer."
