This time, the Western medicines shipped by Dehua Foreign Company include sulfa, quinine, aspirin tablets, etc., as well as a full set of surgical medical instruments, and a batch of bandages, gauze, syringes and cotton wool were presented as gifts.
It's a pity that Frederick's foreign company's channels for pharmaceuticals are too far behind, and Chen Mingxiang's plan cannot be met by doing small things. He needs to do pharmaceutical business.
The Renshan Clinic in the public concession is located in the west section of Fifth Avenue. This is one of the main residential areas. It is a three-story British-style building with a large area.
It completely adopts the Western clinic layout. There are diagnostic rooms, pharmacies, isolation rooms or intensive care rooms and operating rooms on the first floor. The wards are on the second floor. The dormitories and offices are on the third floor. There is also a small courtyard at the back with several rooms. bungalows and warehouses.
Chen Mingxiang decorated this place to be very high-end and classy. All the furniture was carefully selected, and the medical equipment was also the most advanced. With the sycamore tree, the golden phoenix was attracted, and now people in Shanghai can afford medicine and medical treatment. , definitely not ordinary people.
Currently, there is only one Western medicine doctor, Shen Guozhao, who is a returnee from overseas. He looks elegant and has a bookish air. He wears gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and is in his early thirties.
The two nurses, Shen Xiaodan and Cui Mengyao, are both in their twenties and forties, natives of Shanghai, and graduated from Shanghai Medical College. They used to work in the hospital, and their professions have been evaluated by Shen Guozhao.
"Boss, you have a lot of energy. You have a complete set of brand-new medical equipment imported from Germany and so many precious Western medicines. I'm afraid the hospital doesn't have such a large quantity, right?" Shen Guozhao said in surprise.
Who has seen that in a small clinic, sulfonamides are calculated in kilograms? Aspirin tablets are calculated in thousands of tablets? There are also many drugs such as atropine, quinine and morphine.
These things, especially sulfonamides, are worth as much as gold. No one can buy them for even two yuan a pill. The Japanese army lists western medicine as a strictly controlled strategic material.
"It's a pity that I currently lack access to imports. Dehua Matheson's channel network is weak and cannot supply me with large quantities. I don't know when the next batch of medicines will arrive."
"Furthermore, wars are going on all over the world, and the price of Western medicine is getting higher and higher day by day, and everything has to be settled in gold. Even if I make a little money out of charity, it will be difficult for ordinary people to afford it. Money is not everything at this time. ." Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.
"Brother, there are so many people in Shanghai who don't have money to take medicine. Since you have the ability, help them. Not to mention Western medicine, Chinese medicine is also a huge expense. If our family encounters difficulties, we can charge less. Money should be used to do good deeds and accumulate virtue." Lu Kunyu, who followed, said next to him.
This is a clinic run by Chen Mingxiang. It is his family's business. Lu Kunyu, the future hostess, of course has to follow him to inspect it.
"Naive, do you think my money came from the strong wind? Do you know how much the rent is? Do you know that this batch of medicines has spent all the gold bars we have?"
"I still do charity. Don't you know where I work? If people spread that I am a philanthropist, how can I keep doing it? The clinic can just wait until it closes!" Chen Mingxiang said.
He knew that he was suffering in his heart. As a person from the secret service headquarters and the special high school, he actually spent a lot of money to open a clinic and import drugs to start a charity. Isn't that a joke?
If he is such a person, how can 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 Command Bureau, not a social philanthropist!
It is not possible to operate in secret. The clinic is located in a public concession. In order to avoid trouble, he needs to rely on his status to ensure safety. More importantly, this is not just a clinic, but also a safe haven for his comrades.
If an agent of the Military Command Bureau is seriously injured, he can come here for treatment, and his life safety is guaranteed. Based on this alone, he has made a contribution to the Military Command Bureau.
Lu Kunyu pouted unhappily. As a progressive youth of the underground party, she very much hoped that Chen Mingxiang could do something to "make atonement". Although her lover was not a notorious traitor, he worked in the secret service and his reputation was not very good after all.
Nice to hear.
In addition, the underground party's material procurement team also very much hopes to obtain western medicine. How many soldiers and people in the base area have died due to lack of medicine. Thinking about it makes me feel sick.
When he heard that Chen Mingxiang had opened a clinic, Zheng Tonghui told Lu Kunyu to inquire about this situation. If the opportunity was suitable, could he also get a batch for the underground party? Western medicine was contraband and was too difficult to obtain.
"Boss, why are your drug prices and consultation fees two different standards?" Shen Guozhao pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said curiously.
He was able to study abroad, and his family's conditions were not bad originally. However, when the Japanese invaded Shanghai, their family was bombed. In addition to paying for the family's expenses, his younger siblings went to school, and he also had to support his fiancée's family.
The hospital's income is really not enough.
According to the salary package in Shanghai, a doctor's income is about fifty French currency per month, which is the same as the monthly salary of two skilled workers. An international student like him can earn one hundred to one hundred and fifty yuan, but the monthly salary of Renshan Clinic is
Three hundred yuan, doubled, plus you can get commission.
The salary of nurses in large hospitals is only 30 yuan, but at Renshan Clinic, two nurses can each get 100 yuan a month, and there is also a commission.
Chen Mingxiang's reputation is quite clean. Although he works in the secret service headquarters, the translation section chief really cannot arouse people's hatred. It is outrageous to say that he is a big traitor.
Of course you have to make money to open a clinic, otherwise what would you do? This is very simple logic!
The three of them have no objection to providing some help to the common people and will do so. However, the boss needs to pay for medicines, rent, decoration, etc., and the idea of a future landlady is a bit unrealistic.
"You guys must also remember that I am not the kind of profiteer who is unkind and unkind. The treatment fees and medicine fees of the clinic are already very low for the common people. This is the cost price, rent, and salary, which is the lowest price. We cannot make a loss.
business."
"As for dignitaries and wealthy people, they are charged according to the second set of prices. There are few companies in the entire Shanghai market with such an environment and conditions. What we want is reasonable and reasonable. Don't forget that your commission will also come from this."
." Chen Mingxiang said.
As for the Renshan Medicine Hall near Jing'an Temple, the decoration is antique. The environment inside is very elegant, with all wooden furniture, wooden floors on the ground, and paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls. It uses Chinese medicine as the mainstay and Western medicine as the supplement.
Two famous old Chinese doctors were invited to sit in for consultation every day, and two apprentices were responsible for prescribing medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine is not contraband in Shanghai and can be circulated. Chen Mingxiang asked pharmacies to prepare more hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs so that they do not need to be recorded in the accounts.
