Old Niu saw patients arriving and left with his medicine without causing any further disturbance.

Before the group of guests came in, Huang Youcai pulled Liu Zixuan aside and asked in a low voice, "The hospital to the west is doing well, with better facilities and services than ours. Why are these patients coming to us instead? Could there be some conspiracy?"

Liu Zixuan kicked Huang Youcai right away and said, "Do you think Hao Shuai has nothing better to do than find a bunch of people to fake being sick and play tricks on me?"

"But things are going well over there, so why are these patients coming over here?" Huang Youcai truly couldn't figure it out. It simply didn't make any sense.

Liu Zixuan smiled faintly and explained, "You're a businessman, and so is Hao Shuai. From a business perspective, it does seem incredible, but from a doctor's point of view, this is quite normal."

"How is it normal?" Huang Youcai asked.

"A truth forgotten by countless unscrupulous businessmen."

Liu Zixuan changed his tone and said word by word, "Because you businessmen always focus on profit, you have turned the noble profession of medicine into a commercial enterprise, giving patients a choice."

"You're promoting yourself in various ways, so why can't I use my money to choose another doctor? You know, no matter how big Hao Shuai's hospital gets, it was doomed from the start."

"Because he targets the wealthy, offering them benefits to seek treatment, treating it as a high-end hospital. But you must understand, there are far more common folks in this world, and when he charges nine thousand for a stroke warning, how can ordinary people afford it?"

Liu Zixuan's words struck Huang Youcai like a revelation, making him suddenly see the light.

Nine thousand yuan, maybe it's nothing for the rich in today's society, but for the masses, that could be half a year or even a year's income!

"Now I see why you're so calm and composed, why you weren't worried at all from the start. You knew that Hao Shuai would fall into the pit he dug for himself." Huang Youcai gave Liu Zixuan a thumbs up.

"It's not that I have the ability to predict the future, but he is courting disaster! Most hospitals nowadays are courting disaster. Think about it, what is a hospital? A place full of angels in white, treating people's illnesses and injuries. But now? There are all kinds of under-the-table transactions, inflating drug prices, only thinking about making money from the wealthy."

"And what's the result? Ordinary people are afraid to seek treatment, opting for a casual visit to a clinic, while hospitals are labeled as money-grabbing institutions and thus shunned by the people. Naturally, they stop going."

From a doctor's viewpoint, Liu Zixuan's words were absolutely correct, but from a commercial angle, he seemed a bit obsessive.

If hospitals don't raise drug prices and have patients undergo various tests, how are they supposed to make money?

At that moment, Huang Youcai had no words to respond because he admired Liu Zixuan's righteous spirit!

Liu Zixuan defined himself accurately, aimed to treat ordinary people, yet the rich could also come. But Hao Shuai was wrong from the beginning.

Relying on his capital, he defined his clientele as the wealthy, but they are a minority; the majority are still ordinary folks.

As the saying goes, winning people's hearts wins the world. Liu Zixuan healed countless people, and with the words of ordinary folks, his clinic's business would surpass Hao Shuai's hospital—it was just a matter of time!

Besides, solid medical skill is the foundation!

During their chat, five people gradually walked in, three men and two women.

Behind them, a dozen more stood hesitantly at the entrance, unsure whether to enter.

Liu Zixuan stepped forward and said, "Come on in, everyone, it's so hot outside, don't get heatstroke!"

"Doctor, can we ask first?" one of the women inquired.

Liu Zixuan replied, "Go ahead."

"Do you also need various blood and urine tests, and how much do you charge?" asked the woman, as all eyes turned to Liu Zixuan, showing they all had the same question.

Liu Zixuan spread his hands with a smile and said, "Rest assured, first of all, my necessary tests will definitely be fewer than a hospital's. The necessary ones will be done, but I won't let you waste money on unnecessary ones. Second, the costs here are definitely the most reasonable. I can't claim to be the cheapest because it depends on what illness you have!"

The woman thought for a moment and said, "Doctor, most of us here are villagers from nearby, and some are from the town. We heard the hospital to the west doing advertisements and thought it sounded good, but once we went there, we realized it's really overpriced."

"Old Zhang from the neighboring village went to get his teeth checked and spent over three thousand on tests without any treatment. We're farmers and can't afford that kind of money."

"Are you from the town?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Yes, I work in the town," the woman replied.

"Then you should know Lao Niu from the gambling stone shop. He also went to that hospital today."

"I know, I was queued with him. I was near when he was paying; I sneaked a peek and saw he spent eight or nine thousand without any diagnosis in the end."

At this, a young man stepped forward and said.

Liu Zixuan nodded, "He just left from here. You should have met him as you came. He had a stroke warning and got medicine and treatment from me for a total of five hundred. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

"A stroke for only five hundred!" Everyone was shocked.

Stroke is a major illness and a common one in rural areas nowadays. They knew the difficulty and the costs involved in its treatment.

Upon learning it cost only five hundred, the villagers all rushed into the clinic.

Liu Zixuan smiled and said to the smug-looking Huang Youcai, "Go, pour each of them a glass of water. Let them rest awhile!"

"Alright!" Huang Youcai, seeing nearly twenty patients, was overwhelmed with joy.

What delighted him the most was that it seemed Hao Shuai's marketing had served as an advertisement for Liu Zixuan. After spending so much on marketing, all the patients ended up at Liu Zixuan's clinic anyway.

And Liu Zixuan? He just had to sit back and wait for the earnings!

As Liu Mazi served water to the villagers, they felt a warmth from this small act.

They were all simple people who could see who treated them well, even through something as small as a glass of water.

The hall was filled with people, and Liu Zixuan formally had Huang Youcai arrange for them to go one by one to the second floor for consultations.

The turning point in the situation began at this moment…
