Chapter 1692 The Ratio of the Rich and the Poor (2)
When Du Ruo heard what Liu Qiqiao said, she also frowned and thought about it, but finally shook her head and couldn't think of a reason.Liu Qiqiao smiled and said, "Tch, why is your head as a top scholar not as effective as mine, which is pregnant and stupid?" In fact, in Liu Qiqiao's view, Baoshantang is equivalent to a tertiary first-class hospital. There are the best doctors and the best medicinal materials in it.And those pharmacies and clinics are small hospitals, or even just a community clinic.Except for the rich, most people go to small hospitals for minor illnesses, and when they go to large hospitals, it is when small hospitals are not able to treat patients well.Therefore, the patients received by Baoshantang are either rich people in the capital, or ordinary people who have been seeking medical treatment in small hospitals and have not been treated well.

And Anjitang happened to be the favorite small hospital of the common people, so his existence did not have much impact on Baoshantang, but could absorb the common people who were originally seeing patients in other small hospitals.Therefore, Liu Qiqiao concluded that Master Du's actions would not only not affect Bao Shan Tang, but he might also find greater business opportunities, and would annoy Bao Shan Tang's current problems because of An Ji Tang's operating conditions.

"Suppose your family is poor and you are sick, what will you do?"

"Please sir"

"Which doctor please?"

Du Ruo frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Doctors in Baoshantang have different silver taels for outpatient visits according to their qualifications. The cheapest one is a penny, and the most expensive one, like Doctor Hu, is five taels of silver."

"Then do you know the doctors from other stores?"

"The doctor in the most famous Jishitang in the west of the city pays the same fee as Baoshantang. Some other pharmacies also charge a dime, and some only need to fill the medicine in the pharmacy. The doctor does not charge a consultation fee." Although Du Ruo is not familiar with common affairs, he still knows what he should know.

"You're right, those pharmacies that don't charge consultation fees, the prices of medicinal materials are similar to those of Baoshantang, and some are even cheaper. But Baoshantang not only charges consultation fees, but the price of medicinal materials is among the best in the industry. It is also expensive. That's why most of the people who come to Baoshantang to see a doctor are from well-to-do families, because ordinary poor people can't afford the consultation fees and medicine fees. And [-]% of the people in the capital All of the above are poor people, and only [-]% of Baoshantang’s customers are there.”

Du Ruo had never thought of this problem before, but when Liu Qiqiao said this, he suddenly realized, and just slapped his forehead and said, "So that's the truth!" Du Ruo stood up excitedly, walked back and forth in the room a few times, Standing still, he said to Liu Qiqiao: "I understand everything when you say that. No wonder every year Baoshantang donates medicines and medicines, but there are still so few ordinary people who come to Baoshantang to see a doctor. Back then, I prescribed medicine for Ah Han. He refused to come to Baoshantang to get medicine for a prescription full of cheap medicinal materials, so Baoshantang is a place for rich people to see a doctor in the eyes of ordinary people in the capital."
