Chapter 131
"Cheshi re Hall is a good medical center!" onesaid.
"Robert has been greeting me since he waschildren,” Samson chuckled as he spoke."I've watched him grow up. He has a kind heart and is very hardworking. When he and my son were kids, my son would think about where to go and play during school holidays, but Robert would stay home and study. And even as he grew up, he would go out to work during holidays. He's a good kid."
"Yes, I remember him too. Robert helped mecarry things before," said an elderly man who was almost seventy, smiling.
With Cheshire Hall offering free services and garnering a good reputation, provided with compassionate healers at the medical center, there was no reason not to visit the place.
Sophia, standing behind the counter that gave out medicine, addressed the crowd, "For those who wish to receive medicine, please note that a prescription from our medical center's doctor is required. This policy is in place for everyone's safety and well-being. We will not accept prescriptions from other sources." Her firm words deterred those who were healthy
and had contemplated taking advantage of the free medicine offer.
Sophia's requirement for a prescription from Cheshi re Hall's doctors before receiving medicine was met with understanding by everyone.
"Exactly! Don't abuse the free medicine offer.Some people may try to take advantage and come here every day to get free medicine, but Cheshi re Hall is here to benefit us all, not to help individuals make a fortune!" someone said.
"Behave yourselves and show some manners!"Leaning on his cane, an elderly man in his seventies warned others. "If any of you dare to take medicine without a proper prescription, I'll faint right next to you!"
The warning from the elderly man immediately dissuaded the person from attempting to deceive and take medicine without a prescription.
Sophia observed the scene in front of her. While she couldn't comprehend why Robert,a businessman, would engage in a deal that seemed unprofitable, the smiles on everyone's faces were contagious. Sophia found herself smiling too.
It was the first day of Cheshire Hall's grand opening and the third day of Fortuna Hall's grand opening. Cheshire Hall was filled with people, but no one was at Fortuna Hall.
It was only the inaugural day of Cheshi re Hall, and one could already imagine that its impact would surpass that of Fortuna Hall at a faster pace.
However, Fortuna Hall, which was once renowned, had now become a complete contrast to Cheshi re Hall. The incident where Matthew cursed Robert as being insane was also captured by visitors.
Following its rapid development on the Internet, Fortuna Hall's reputation plummeted entirely.
It was the early morning of the next day.
A few days ago, Kendrick used to arrive at Fortuna Hall early in the morning just to observe the long queues.
However, on that day, Fortuna Hall stood empty without any queues, while Cheshire Hall was bustling with a crowd of people.
"Kendrick, what should we do?" Observing theempty entrance of Fortuna Hall, Matthew grew increasingly anxious.
This was because he was allowed to obtain 30 percent of the profit.
Matthew's initial excitement over the medical center's impressive earnings of more than 90,000 dollars in the first two days quickly turned into a nightmar e as the subsequent days saw a drastic decline in business.
"What should we do? Why are you coming tome for answers?" Kendrick's frustration was evident as he lashed out at Matthew."I entrusted Fortuna Hall to you, so it's your responsibility to come up with a solution."
After saying his final words, Kendrick stormed out of the center.
Matthew looked at Kendrick's departing figure with a mournful expression on his face.
Robert arrived at the entrance of Cheshi re Hall in his Lamborghini worth 1.35 million dollars and got out of the car. He cast a brief glance back at Matthew, who was wearing a mournful expression, before confidently stepping into Cheshire Hall.
Sophia was already waiting inside Cheshire Hall.
"Mr. Zabinski, the report from yesterday isout." Sophia approached Robert as he entered
the door, taking quick steps."Based on the cost price, we gave out a total of 39,000 dollars worth of medicine yesterday. However, due to the disorderly situation, the diagnosis speed was slow. If we can improve efficiency, we can potentially give out 52,500 dollars worth of medicine per day. That's more than 1.5 million dollars a month."
Sophia frowned as she spoke.
Despite achieving the purpose of taking away the customers from Fortuna Hall, the losses amounted to more than 1.5 million dollars that month, which was a significant blow to the company's finances.
Furthermore, the losses incurred by the medical center were not just temporary setbacks that could be easily recovered in the future. So long as Fortuna Hall continued its business model, its losses would continue to accumulate.
