At this point, James could barely hold back his excitement.
Since the nine great families had offered James and Helen all these storefronts, as well as covering the renovation for these storefronts, they needed only arrange for their staff to work on the storefronts now.
When their twenty over pharmacies started opening shops, their pharmaceutical business would finally gain a bigger and better recognition.
At that time, they would finally be able to brag about their careers when meeting up with old friends.
James pretended to be hesitant and tried to reject the offer out of courtesy before finally handing over the blueprints—which he had prepared a long time ago—to the man.
With the blueprint in hand, the man left to handle the renovation.
James thought, With this, the nine great families would be handling this for us.
After the man had left, James hurried back to the room.
Looking at the table full of lease agreements, James and Helen were excited to tears.
"Never would I have expected for us to obtain all these storefronts.With this, we'll have more than twenty outlets in Eastshire.H-How much would the monthly profits be?" Helen said excitedly.
James could not answer Helen's question, as even he was not able to calculate the estimated profits.
Sitting at the side of the room, Matthew and Sasha were happy looking at the old couple being so cheery.
For Matthew and Sasha, the profits were not the main point. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
The main point was the harmony of the family.
Naturally, it was even better if they could make their parents happy.
James and Helen were excited for the better half of the day before fondly putting away the lease agreements.
"Matthew, this was all thanks to you! If it weren't for you, just me and your mother alone wouldn't even be able to secure a storefront!"
James gave his heartfelt gratitude.
Matthew smiled.
"Dad, we're a family.This is the least I can do.However, you and Mom would be busy during this period of time.Our staff is simply not enough to handle opening more than twenty pharmacies at the same time.At this time, there should be some fresh graduates seeking employment right now.My suggestion would be to go around the educational institution to recruit some of the graduates with a professional medical background.It would help cut down the time to train them as well"
James’ eyes lit up at Matthew's suggestion.
"You don't say.This is a really good suggestion.I was worrying that the new staff training would take up a lot of time.If I hire graduates with a professional medical background, then I wouldn't need to worry about the training."
Helen, on the other hand, was slightly hesitant.
"But...will it work? We are only a mere pharmacy.Could we even afford to hire the graduates? There weren't any university students back in our store in Eastcliff.Just how many of these graduates would even be willing to come work for a pharmacy like ours?"
With Helen pouring cold water over James, he scratched his head and turned slightly depressed.
Naturally, he knew that university students would be reluctant to come work for their pharmacy.
"Mom, no one mentioned hiring university students though?" Matthew spoke up.
Helen was taken aback by what Matthew said.
"What do you mean? Don't tell me that you were talking about hiring college students? W- Wouldn't that be inappropriate? Their qualifications are sorely lacking!"
Matthew shook his head.
"I'm talking about those with a doctorate"
James and Helen became puzzled over Matthew's answer.
"Huh?"
Even Sasha—who was beside Matthew—turned wide-eyed at his answer.
"Matthew, you should stop kidding around.With how much the demands are for those with a doctorate, why would they come work for a pharmacy like ours?"
With a faint smile, Matthew answered, "It is not a matter of how big the pharmacy is.The main thing they would consider would be the salary and the potential of being able to advance their career.Mom, Dad, as long as the salary we offer is high enough, even those in a postdoctoral position would come
work for us! Since we did not spend a dime on the storefront, why not direct that money to the staff salary? Wouldn't doing that settle the staff issue?"
Hearing this, James and Helen immediately became excited once more.Just as Matthew said, with enough money, they would be able to hire those with high qualifications.
