"Don't worry, madam. I'll start inspecting locations tomorrow and give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible."
"No rush. Choosing a location is a big deal. We need to investigate carefully, compare several places, and not make a decision hastily."
Lin Li instructed, "You can list a few alternative locations first, and then we can discuss them together."
"Yes, madam."
Jiang Fusheng carefully put away his notebook, already planning which places he would visit the next day.
Lin Li then discussed some preliminary ideas with Jiang Fusheng regarding the decoration style and staff recruitment of the Chinese medicine store.
She hopes that the decoration of the Chinese medicine shop can reflect traditional Chinese medicine culture, be simple and elegant, and give customers a sense of security and comfort.
In terms of personnel, we need to recruit experienced Chinese medicine practitioners and shop assistants who understand medicinal herbs to ensure that we can provide professional services to customers.
Jiang Fusheng listened and nodded, occasionally offering his own opinions and suggestions, which Lin Li also agreed with.
Before I knew it, it was almost midnight.
Lin Li glanced at the wall clock and said, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest. We still have to work on site selection tomorrow."
"Yes, madam. I'll take my leave now."
Jiang Fusheng bowed and then turned and left the villa.
Walking home, Jiang Fusheng was still very excited.
On the other side, after Jiang Fusheng left, Uncle Fu came in carrying a bowl of bird's nest.
"Madam, are you planning to open a pharmacy?"
Lin Li nodded.
Ever since she accepted the invitation from Professor Zhang and Dr. Yu, she has been thinking about this matter.
Opening a pharmacy in the port city would allow her to directly use the medicinal herbs from her spatial storage, thus reducing her costs.
Secondly, we can leverage the brand of traditional Chinese medicine stores to import more advanced foreign equipment and Western medicines.
This is also very helpful to their research.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Jiang Fusheng got up.
He ate a simple breakfast, changed into some casual clothes, and went out with a map.
His first thought was to visit the old town of the port city, where most of the residents are long-time Hong Kong residents who have a high level of acceptance of traditional Chinese medicine.
He walked slowly along the street, carefully observing his surroundings.
The streets of the old town are narrow but bustling.
The shops on both sides are dazzling, selling snacks, daily necessities, and traditional handicrafts.
As Jiang Fusheng walked, he made notes of locations that might be suitable for opening a traditional Chinese medicine shop.
Information includes surrounding foot traffic, nearby competitors, and approximate rent range.
At a corner, he saw a shop for sale. It was in a good location, next to a vegetable market with a lot of foot traffic.
Jiang Fusheng quickly stepped forward and asked the shop owner about the shop's size, rent, and other details.
The shop owner told him that the shop was over 50 square meters, with a monthly rent of HK$3,000 and a transfer fee of HK$20,000.
Jiang Fusheng thought the location was acceptable, but decided to look at other places as well, as it's always good to compare prices.
After leaving the old town, Jiang Fusheng went to some newly developed residential areas.
The residents of these places are mostly young people, but there are also quite a few middle-aged and elderly residents.
He discovered that at the entrances of some large residential areas, there were many shops, and their businesses were doing quite well.
He found a suitable shop near a neighborhood called "Kang Le Yuan" with an area of more than 60 square meters and a monthly rent of HK$4,000 with no transfer fee.
Jiang Fusheng felt that this position also had great potential and made detailed notes about it.
Over the next few days, Jiang Fusheng traveled to almost every corner of the port city.
He visited bustling commercial districts, where there was a huge flow of people, but the rents were also incredibly high, and the competition was fierce. He felt that it was not suitable for opening a Chinese medicine shop.
He also visited some areas near hospitals and clinics and found that there were already quite a few pharmacies there. Although there was a certain customer base, the competition was also fierce.
After several days of investigation and comparison, Jiang Fusheng selected three relatively suitable alternative locations.
One is a shop next to the vegetable market in the old town, another is a shop at the entrance of the "Kangleyuan" residential area, and the third is on a street near a park, where the environment is quiet and suitable for customers to calmly recuperate.
He compiled a report detailing the three alternative locations, including location maps, area, rent, and surrounding environment analysis, and then took the report to Lin Li's villa.
Lin Li was drinking tea in the living room when she saw Jiang Fusheng come in. She smiled and said, "Fusheng, you look tired these past few days. Sit down and rest."
Jiang Fusheng handed the report to Lin Li and said, "Madam, this is the result of my investigation over the past few days. I have selected three alternative locations. Please take a look and see which one is suitable."
Lin Li took the report and read it carefully.
As she looked at the exhibits, she asked Jiang Fusheng some detailed questions, which he answered one by one.
After reading the report, Lin Li pondered for a while and then spoke.
"The shops next to the vegetable market in the old town have high foot traffic, but the environment is relatively noisy, and although the rent is not high, there is a transfer fee, so the cost is not low in the end. The shops at the entrance of the 'Kangleyuan' residential area have a good location and reasonable rent, and the residents in the community should have good spending power. The shops near the park have a good environment, but the foot traffic may be relatively low."
Jiang Fusheng nodded and said, "Your wife is right. I also think that shop in the 'Kangleyuan' residential area is quite suitable. Most of the residents there are office workers and retired elderly people who value health, and the area is also quite large, so there should be quite a few potential customers."
