"Alright, alright! Don't worry, young man! I'll definitely help you advertise when I get back!"
After paying, the woman left happily.
Wang Cong's lips curled up slightly in a cold smile.
In the beginning, this medicine naturally couldn't be sold at too high a price, otherwise who would dare to buy it?
Once the news spreads and everyone knows that the medicine he sells is good, then it will be the perfect time to raise prices.
This is actually a common tactic used by many pharmaceutical companies. Wang Cong had also dealt with pharmaceutical companies in Yandu and was very familiar with their tactics. He never expected that he would be using them himself this time.
And just as he had thought.
After the old lady returned home, other residents also experienced symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. The old lady immediately helped spread the word, and neighbors from the surrounding area came to Baolingtang one after another.
In just a short time this morning, Wang Cong had already seen quite a few patients.
The price of antidiarrheal medicine has also risen from a few yuan to tens of yuan.
I made a small profit!
However, the number of patients who came was much larger than he had expected. A long line formed in front of his pharmacy.
His medicine kits will soon be sold out.
In the end, only one pack was left.
The two burly men, who were rubbing their bellies, immediately started fighting over it.
"Get out of the way, I was here first!"
"What do you mean you were here first? I was here first, okay?!"
"Get the hell out of here, or I'll splatter you in the face!"
Pfft!
This guy is really ranty, the scene exploded.
People around scrambled to get out of the way.
Finally, the eldest brother revealed a victorious expression and asked Wang Cong to sell him the medicine.
Wang Cong pinched his nose and chuckled, "Five hundred yuan, please scan the code!"
"What the heck??" The older brother was immediately dumbfounded.
It was just selling for a few dozen yuan a moment ago, how did it suddenly jump to five hundred yuan? Isn't this just blatant price gouging?
"Kid, are you fucking desperate for money? You'll do anything to make money? Believe me or not, I'll report you to the drug administration!" the big brother shouted at the top of his lungs. Even though his crotch was still dripping with yellow liquid, his momentum was not weak.
The others also started complaining.
"What the hell? Isn't this just making money through dishonest means?"
"That's right! I heard it was only a few dollars this morning, but it's already gone up to tens of dollars, and now it's gone up to five hundred!"
"They're absolutely obsessed with money!"
Hearing these comments, Wang Cong remained unconcerned and sneered, "First of all, my medicine is all homemade and of good quality. It's not a prescription drug, so I can set my own price. You can buy it or not, it's up to you! Besides, I'm running a business, not a charity! Furthermore, only I can cure your illness. Otherwise, you'll die before you're cured! Don't even mention five hundred; even if I sell it for five thousand, you have no right to criticize me!"
Holy crap!
"So pretentious?"
"Damn it! I'm not buying from him anymore! That's a shady clinic and a shady doctor!"
"It's just antidiarrheal medicine, right? We can buy it anywhere. Let's go to another clinic and ask!"
Seven or eight people were dissatisfied and indignant. After discussing it for a while, they all left.
Wang Cong didn't try to stop him. Instead, he closed the door, went back inside, and continued wrapping his antidote.
As for these patients who left, he knew they would come back to him soon!
Sure enough, less than two hours later.
Patients are gradually returning!
"Doctor, do you have any more antidiarrheal medication?"
"Sell us a pack!"
"I want two packs!"
"Can you make it cheaper?"
"It's just five hundred yuan! Hurry up and give me a pack! I'm not short of money!"
"I was here first, you go ahead and line up! Boss, hurry up, I can't hold my poop in my ass anymore, I'll pay you a thousand bucks, sell it to me first!"
More and more patients flocked to the clinic, jostling and pushing each other, almost causing a fight.
These people aren't stupid; they've already bought antidiarrheal medicine from other clinics, but it doesn't work at all!
It's still Wang Cong's place; this medicine works wonders as soon as I take it!
Wang Cong smirked and said smugly, "Five hundred yuan isn't too expensive? Fine, those who want to buy, pay up and line up, one by one!"
In just a short while, Wang Cong sold over a hundred more packs, earning tens of thousands of yuan.
Wang Cong was overjoyed; this business was more profitable than printing money!
However, his happiness did not last long.
Soon, a problem arose!
Those who had previously recovered after taking his medicine soon relapsed and came back to him to buy more medicine.
Some people couldn't hold on and collapsed right in front of the clinic.
"Doctor, doctor, please save my granddaughter!"
The first person to come in the morning to sell tofu pudding, an elderly woman, returned carrying her little granddaughter, whose face was frighteningly pale.
Wang Cong was stunned. "Wait, didn't you take my medicine? Why aren't you better?"
The woman cried out, "Doctor, we were cured at first, but then it relapsed, and eventually we started having bloody stools. My granddaughter just had such a big puddle of blood, and so did I! Help!"
"Doctor, I'm also passing blood, I'm dizzy, I'm going to die!"
"Doctor, please sell me another packet of medicine!"
More and more seriously ill patients are coming to see Wang Cong.
Wang Cong was sweating profusely and was completely dumbfounded.
His medication was no longer effective; this is a huge problem!!
Some patients aren't stupid; they know clinics can't be trusted, so they go directly to the hospital.
A nearby Class II Grade A hospital was in an uproar.
The head of the emergency department saw several critically ill patients in a row that morning, and the results of the examination confirmed their condition.
"A new type of bacterial dysentery has emerged, with a virulence level of at least Grade B, and it spreads extremely rapidly. Quickly, report it immediately! If the source isn't identified, this could lead to a major disaster!"
