Fatty Zhang is really sothing. He obviously ca to bully Li Jingsheng, yet he turns around and bites back.
"Exactly, exactly. Our Furuiduo Pharmacy only sold less than five hundred bucks worth of dicine today. Not even enough for rent."
The female boss chid in to help.
"Boss Liu also sold five hundred yuan of dicine, and I’m not afraid of being laughed at. We at Huimin Pharmacy almost got nothing!"
Another boss joined in the lant.
Li Jingsheng watched these people play the poverty card, his mouth twitching involuntarily.
"I’m just puzzled. Everyone’s doing their own business, how does Sunshine Clinic selling dicine affect you all?"
"There’s only so many custors on this street, mostly locals and tenants. Your clinic has good business, sells lots of dicine, and the custors who would’ve co to our pharmacies are buying from you. Naturally, our business suffers. It’s such a simple truth, Boss Li, why play dumb?"
Fatty Zhang glared and spoke gruffly.
"Hmph, then let ask, when my Sunshine Clinic was practically drinking northwest wind every day, none of you seed to feel bad, huh? Back then, why were you all so comfortable?"
Li Jingsheng angrily clashed against their warped logic.
Soone is definitely instigating trouble.
What about it?
The market is inherently competitive, and only the fittest survive.
"We’re not asking much. We just want you not to sell dicine for replenishing blood, energy, or brain power," the female boss surnad Liu said.
"Boss Liu, is it?"
Li Jingsheng focused on her relatively delicate face.
"Yes! My na is Liu, Liu Qingqing."
She introduced herself with a hint of pride.
"Do you have brain supplents at your place?"
Li Jingsheng asked her.
"Yes!"
She hesitated before answering, unsure why Li Jingsheng was asking this.
"If what you’re selling are genuine, I’d suggest you take so yourself. If the brand isn’t that great, Sunshine Clinic has big-brand brain supplents, they’re quite effective, feel free to choose from us."
Li Jingsheng said earnestly.
Insulting without using offensive words, this is the highest level of arguing.
This woman is quite lively, not serving an example might make these people think Li Jingsheng is easy to talk to.
The others were montarily stunned, then Xiaogao unkindly let out a laugh.
Quickly, the others followed suit, laughing.
"You..."
She was so angry her face turned green.
"Asking not to sell dicines for replenishing energy, blood, brain power, then what should I sell? Such ignorant and rude demands, it’s amazing you can propose them so calmly. You better take so dicine to rejuvenate that brain of yours."
Li Jingsheng’s aura surged imdiately.
"We ca to you with the attitude of peace bringing wealth, why are you insulting us?"
"Don’t refuse the toast only to drink a forfeit."
"Give face yet refuse to accept it, then don’t bla us for being harsh."
"Young people shouldn’t be so reckless, or you’ll regret it."
Several pharmacy owners angrily rebuked Li Jingsheng.
"Who’s going to make drink a forfeit? Boss Cheng from Huimin Pharmacy, is it you? Co on, I love drinking forfeit, pour a drink and let’s see."
Li Jingsheng wore a defiant expression, completely unfazed.
In this situation, one must be tough, showing no weakness.
Otherwise, he’d face attacks from all sides.
Fatty Zhang was the leader of these few, he hadn’t spoken all the while, observing Li Jingsheng from the shadows.
Now, seeing Li Jingsheng’s display of strength and recalling that complaining to Station Chief Qiao was useless, he had begun considering retreat.
Business is inherently deceitful.
If they can pressure Li Jingsheng into concessions, all the pharmacies will benefit.
If nothing can be gained, they’ll have to find another way.
There’s no intention to fight to the end.
They feel entitled due to their long-standing presence and previously good business, and now that it’s suffering, they believe it’s because this newcor, Li Jingsheng, stole it. Naturally upset and angry.
This is the truest human nature.
"Since you’re so unappreciative, I’m left with no alternatives. It’s not only who wants you to drink a forfeit, each of us offers a toast, let’s see if you can handle it."
Boss Cheng, in his late thirties, was also quite fiery.
Now being maneuvered publicly by Li Jingsheng, he had to brace himself, becoming cannon fodder for the others.
"Besides Boss Cheng, who else?"
Li Jingsheng’s gaze swept across the remaining six, including Boss Liu whom he had insulted, none seed inclined to respond.
This woman’s behavior was odd.
She had been quite lively earlier.
After getting scolded, she seed to have quieted down?
From her hostile gaze, it could be felt she hadn’t beco docile, but when it ca to confronting Li Jingsheng, she held back.
None of the six stepped up.
With their montum subdued, Li Jingsheng maintained his strong presence, pointing to the dicines on the counter.
"Why can my small clinic sign with Best dicine Company? Many large hospitals can’t even manage that. You’re not kids, surely you understand the ins and outs more than I do. I may be a newcor, but if you think you can control by numbers or seniority, let’s see. In the end, let’s see who can survive."
Li Jingsheng spoke confidently.
He’s genuinely not worried about being defeated.
Because he has retreats.
And the chances of losing are slim.
Just having been featured in newspapers and on TV are strong shields.
Not to ntion his identity as a doctor at the Second Hospital, with good relations with multiple chief physicians, should they lend a hand even slightly, it would trouble these pharmacy owners quite a bit.
As for Xie Guiqiu behind Li Jingsheng, that’s an even bigger ace.
Having saved Xie Guiqiu’s mother, if Li Jingsheng is bullied, Xie Guiqiu wouldn’t remain inactive.
Such a big shot stays still, but once enraged, the force is overwhelming.
"I advise you all, let’s each do our own business, and not encroach on each other. Whoever can win over custors depends on their own skills. Market competition naturally results in survival of the fittest. If your competitiveness is lacking, even if I don’t sell these dicines, stronger pharmacies will."
Li Jingsheng said this with righteous assurance.
Fatty Zhang saw the seven of them causing a scene had turned into this situation, knowing it’s not worth pursuing, he began considering retreat.
"Boss Li, we’re all running businesses on the sa street, we don’t intend to force you. We just ca to discuss matters, if you’re unwilling, then so be it. We can still discuss things peacefully for any issues! No need to push it to life or death. I have matters in my shop, I’ll take my leave first."
Fatty Zhang is quite cunning.
Seeing that further conflict would lead to a deadlock with Li Jingsheng, he felt a sense of fear.
He was the first to make an escape.
