The doctor in front of me, Dr. Li Shanyong, who runs a clinic in Brooklyn, is a serious Chinese medicine doctor, not a quick Chinese medicine doctor trained by Chinese medicine schools here in the United States.
Unable to stand the intrigues in the hospital, I resigned angrily. With the persuasion of my friends, I went to the United States to open a Chinese medicine clinic.
A large number of serious Chinese medicine practitioners who come to the United States to open TCM clinics, especially those over forty years old, came to the United States to open clinics because they were squeezed out in hospitals and had a bad relationship with their leaders.
The overall income of TCM clinics is slightly higher than in China, but not much higher.
The annual income level of acupuncturists in the United States is about 60,000 to 70,000 to 70,000 to 70,000 to 80,000 U.S. dollars, and the highest is about one hundred thousand dollars.
For someone like Ding Changsheng, whose monthly income can easily reach hundreds of thousands, it cannot be said that he has none. It is too little and can be said to be rare.
The income is higher than that of domestic attending physicians, but not as much as that of director-level TCM doctors in large TCM hospitals.
"Doctor Ding is right! It's more friendly to call the doctor!" Li Shanyong smiled and nodded.
"Is Dr. Li's clinic called Li Shanyong Clinic?"
"Yes! I'm too lazy to remember my name, so when I registered, I just used my name."
"When I passed by Eighth Avenue, I seemed to have noticed Dr. Li's clinic. It's quite a big store! It's much more impressive than my Changshengtang." Ding Changsheng complimented.
"I dare not compare myself with Changshengtang! Whoever opens a Chinese medicine clinic in New York doesn't know that Changshengtang is the originator of Chinese medicine clinics in New York and the first Chinese medicine clinic in New York State and even the entire United States!"
"It's too exaggerated. Changshengtang also had clinics before, but many doctors did not hang up their signs. My second ancestor was the first one to put up their signs." Ding Changsheng said not modestly.
There is nothing to be modest about. Changshengtang is the first Chinese medicine clinic in New York.
"Changshengtang really has great successors. The industry gathering organized by Dr. Ding is very good! We just had too little communication in the past.
Those people in the Acupuncturists Association just stand there and do nothing.
I hope Dr. Ding will come forward to organize more activities like this in the future!" Li Shanyong complimented.
"Today I just invite everyone to come and have a drink and get to know each other! We won't comment on official matters!
In the future, Changshengtang will definitely organize many similar activities.
I dare not say anything else, but an industry like this will definitely be organized once a year.
This time it’s all our TCM clinics in New York State, and next year we will organize an industry gathering of TCM clinics across the United States.”
“It’s exciting to think about the gathering of the traditional Chinese medicine industry across the United States!” Li Shanyong said with emotion.
He lamented the magnanimity of Changshengtang's work and also lamented Ding Changsheng's wealth.
This kind of industry gathering with a one-time investment of one million will be held as soon as possible, and even larger industry gatherings will be held.
An industry gathering in one state costs one million, but across the United States, it doesn't even cost ten million.
"My clinic is a low-key person, and I can't do anything else to help. I can only cheer for Changshengtang."
Li Shanyong is now expressing his attitude, which means that if you have any political demands in Changshengtang, I can support you and give you a few words of encouragement.
"Actually, I have called everyone together for no other purpose than to get to know each other.
We are all away from home, in foreign countries, so we should all keep in touch.
Is Dr. Li using WeChat?"
"Yes! All contacts with the country are through WeChat."
"That's good. I'll set up a group later so we can keep in touch easily.
If you have any difficulties, you can speak up in the group. As the saying goes, if one side is in trouble, there will be support from all sides.
Only by helping each other can we develop better in the United States." Ding Changsheng said with a smile.
Ding Changsheng holds an industry gathering and naturally has his own demands, but now is not the time to talk about it.
Let's wait until everyone is happy and satisfied before we talk.
If one gathering is not enough, then organize several more.
There are many reasons to have an industry gathering in the golden autumn, an industry gathering to welcome the New Year, or a Christmas industry gathering.
It's just a matter of eating, drinking, and spending some money.
The best thing about him is money.
In fact, even those from the Acupuncture Practitioners Industry Association thought there was nothing they could do about Ding Changsheng.
Compare Industry Like is not an official organization, but a private industry association.
If Ding Changsheng offends them, they are an industry association. If he doesn't offend them, they are nothing.
This is not the time when I first came here, so I have to be careful not to offend people from the industry association.
Now, he doesn't need to bother them at all.
On the contrary, people in the industry association need to be careful not to provoke Ding Changsheng.
Otherwise, organize a new industry association every minute and kill them.
This is the confidence that money brings.
After chatting with Li Shanyong for a while, someone else came later. Ding Changsheng apologized and continued to greet the guests.
Li Shanyong went back to the room first under the guidance of the waiter.
Ding Changsheng has been standing guard at the door. When someone comes, he will say a few words to feel the other person's temperament and character.
Ding Changsheng doesn't have the skills of fortune telling yet, but as an excellent Chinese medicine doctor, he still knows a little bit about fortune telling.
Through facial expressions and simple conversations, you can know what this person is like and what his temperament is.
As for character, this needs to be looked at slowly.
He's not really here to make friends.
More and more people came, some came in groups, and some, like Li Shanyong, came alone.
Ding Changsheng has been standing guard at the door, saying hello briefly and getting to know everyone first.
All the guests felt that their trip was worthwhile when they saw the luxurious castle and the beauties wandering in the gardens, courtyards and in the castle.
Some people who didn't like beauties were also shocked by Ding Changsheng's generosity.
At least I got a preliminary impression and it was a worthwhile trip.
"Mr. Ding!" Fei Jinghua greeted Ding Changsheng with a somewhat complicated expression.
His father fell ill when he came back from the police station, but he couldn't blame Ding Changsheng for this, and he had to thank Ding Changsheng for his generous help.
Everything was brought about by my father.
In China, people are used to relying on their elders and selling them, and no one dares to provoke them, so they think it will work just as well in the United States.
But it would be a big loss.
I didn’t want to come this time, but after thinking about it, I had to come.
First, he signed up, and second, he couldn't afford to offend Changsheng Hall.
Of all the clinics in New York, Fei Jinghua's clinic is the closest to Changshengtang, and you can feel the power of Changshengtang the most.
"Dr. Fei is here! Those who are here today are all people from our field of traditional Chinese medicine. It is more friendly to call me Dr. Ding." Ding Changsheng held Fei Jinghua's hand and said with a smile.
"Okay! Doctor Ding!" Fei Jinghua forced a smile and shouted again.
"Dr. Fei, there are many people here today. There are fine wines, delicious food, beautiful scenery, and beautiful women. I hope you have a good time!
Leave all your worries behind!" Ding Changsheng smiled and patted Fei Jinghua's hand.
