Chapter 260: Only by Fighting Can You Win
Zhou Lulu's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken a little.
She vaguely felt that the Sister Xia in front of her might be about to embark on a path that no one had ever walked before.
Is it just such a small thing, worth losing your iron rice bowl?
Zhou Lulu's heart skipped a beat, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Chuxia spoke directly.
"The government is currently supporting the private economy and encouraging everyone to start businesses and explore new paths. I've read a lot of policy documents and gathered a lot of information, and I think the medical equipment sector is particularly promising. While domestic hospital equipment is outdated, many obsolete equipment abroad is still in good working order. I'd like to try this out and meet the needs of grassroots hospitals."
When Zhou Lulu heard this, her tongue became tied.
"This...how much is this going to cost? Importing equipment, just shipping, customs clearance, testing, every single one of those things is a huge expense? And you still have to find ways and sources of supply. Just thinking about it makes me feel overwhelmed."
Ruan Chuxia smiled.
"New ones are too expensive for ordinary people like us. So I started with second-hand ones. I looked for machines that were discarded by foreign hospitals and were in good working order. This way, the cost is low and the risk is relatively controllable."
In fact, even if it is second-hand goods, it is considered top-notch in current domestic hospitals.
And the equipment that Ruan Chuxia took a fancy to.
Even if it is an obsolete product abroad, it can fill the gap in the country.
It can even improve the diagnosis and treatment level of the entire department.
"But this..."
Zhou Lulu's tone was full of worry.
"Isn't that too risky? What if the supply runs out, or the goods are detained by customs? Or what if no one wants them and you're stuck with them? You're a regular employee, and if you really resign, you'll have no way out."
Ruan Chuxia nodded.
"There are definitely risks, and I know this isn't a guaranteed win. But if you only focus on safety, you won't accomplish anything. Times have changed, and opportunities only come to those who dare to fight. I don't want to regret it when I'm old."
"Besides, I'm not just going about this alone. I have two other people working with me. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. We have a clear division of labor and can look after each other. It's better than going it alone."
"Who is it?"
Zhou Lulu immediately asked.
"Wei Chenglu, and Guo Chengya."
Zhou Lulu was a little surprised, her mouth slightly open, and it took her a while to speak.
She was not surprised by Wei Chenglu. That person has always had a lot of ideas and has long been dissatisfied with the meager salary of the company.
But Guo Chengya also joined the gang?
I really didn't expect that.
In her impression, Guo Chengya has always been low-key, cautious, and family-oriented.
Why did you suddenly go into business?
In fact, Ruan Chuxia didn't think of it at first.
Ever since Guo Chengya exposed Wang Peng's private affairs in public at the Wang family last time, the two have rarely been in contact.
The incident caused quite a stir, and everyone in the Wang family was dissatisfied with her.
Later, Ruan Chuxia almost never saw her again.
All I know is that she lives a peaceful life, takes care of the children and serves the elderly.
The next time I heard about her was when Wei Chenglu mentioned her during a casual chat one day.
It is said that Old Mrs. Wang was very angry and felt humiliated.
Feeling sorry for his son, he secretly gave Wang Peng all kinds of tonics in the hope of "rejuvenating his body".
As a result, the medicines were taken at the same time and the supplements were too much.
Instead, it caused high blood pressure and he was sent directly to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Later, Political Commissar Liu had no choice but to send the old lady back to her hometown in the countryside.
Strangely, after the storm, Guo Chengya and Wang Peng reconciled.
Perhaps it is because of this experience that I know how to cherish things more.
Even Wei Chenglu said: "A broken mirror, when put back together, becomes even brighter."
Wei Chenglu also mentioned the business matter casually.
Ruan Chuxia became interested as soon as she heard it.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Guo Chengya said, "This is a reliable thing. I am willing to invest money."
The three of them decided to work together, with a clear division of labor and each doing their own job.
What’s even more coincidental is that when they applied for individual licenses, they happened to catch up with the first batch of individual economic pilot projects opened in Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
The project they submitted was medical equipment trade.
It was a type that was extremely rare at the time.
As a result, they were noticed by the relevant departments above, and they were listed as the first company in Shenzhen to engage in this kind of medical trade, included in the key support list, and became a pilot unit.
Good luck came without any effort.
Not only are there policy considerations and tax reductions, but even approvals have been given the green light.
The more Ruan Chuxia thought about it, the more excited she became, with a gleam in her eyes.
Every step is full of hope.
She was full of energy, even her walk was like the wind.
When Zhou Lulu saw her like this, she knew that she could not be persuaded.
She sighed. Although she still had some concerns in her heart, she couldn't bear to pour cold water on him.
"Sister Xia, I wish you a smooth journey and immediate success. If you get rich one day, don't forget to treat me to a good meal."
The news that Ruan Chuxia resigned to go into business spread like wildfire in the staff quarters.
Qi Baoping's wife Wang Jiachun, who lived in another building, rolled her eyes immediately when she heard the news.
"Doing business? Humph."
In her opinion, this was simply the most outrageous news in recent times.
While cracking melon seeds, she sneered at her neighbor Aunt Zhang.
"Is the wife of Envoy Xiao crazy? She has a stable job but she insists on selling things on the street. When she loses everything, I wonder what she'll do."
Aunt Zhang frowned.
"I heard that business is quite profitable now. The kid from the Huang family next door went to Haicheng to sell electronic watches a while ago. Look at what he's wearing now. His leather shoes are polished like mirrors, you can even see your reflection in them."
"Pooh!"
Wang Jiachun spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells.
"That's called taking advantage of a loophole! Besides, she's a woman with a lot of things to worry about at home. What big things can she accomplish?"
Aunt Zhang nodded. "That's right. She has twins at home. Who's going to take care of them? You can't talk business while looking after them, right?"
While everyone was talking at once, Ruan Chuxia was sitting in the newly renovated office, discussing the next plans with Wei Chenglu and Guo Chengya.
This office was renovated from an old bungalow she bought earlier.
The transportation is convenient, the property rights are clear and the price is right.
Since the country relaxed its housing sales policies, transactions have become particularly smooth.
Taking advantage of this trend, Ruan Chuxia seized the opportunity and bought several similar old houses in succession.
Some were converted into offices, some were rented out, and she kept a few for her own use.
Plus the real estate she already had.
She now owns dozens of houses in total.
Distributed in various places in Shenzhen, they became an important asset for her to start her own business.
"The first batch of equipment will arrive at the port next week."
Wei Chenglu sat in front of the large desk with a calm tone.
"Currently, all logistics information shows normal schedules, and the ship is expected to arrive at Shenzhen Port on Wednesday or Thursday. However, there may be some routine inspections at the customs, and the review will be relatively strict. Customs clearance procedures are expected to be delayed for a few days, and the specific time is still uncertain. We must make corresponding preparations."
Ruan Chuxia leaned back in her chair and nodded slightly.
She slowly put down the cup and continued, "A few days ago, I contacted the heads of the equipment departments of several major hospitals in Shenzhen..."
Guo Chengya sat aside, taking notes quickly with a notebook in her hand.
