Chapter 538: Price War
The scene that happened in the Red Maple Leaf Hotel is not an isolated case, in the rest of the restaurants and restaurants, the same scene is being played out over and over again.
Wang Xiaoming not only provides ingredients, but also sells various spices and condiments, and even teaches cooking techniques.
Otherwise, even if they were given the ingredients, they would not be able to make them.
Wang Xiaoming also spared no effort to promote his products.
And this result is still quite good, all kinds of food in the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce are selling very hot.
With the enjoyment of these foods, the reputation of the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce began to expand, and more and more people went to the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce to buy food.
The rise of the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce was known to those food industries in the City of Glory for the first time.
And in response to the rise of the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce, one by one conspiracies and tricks have also quietly begun to be arranged.
However, before the real action, they still hope to get in touch with Wang Xiaoming to see if there is an opportunity for cooperation.
Wang Xiaoming looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, a sneer rose on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "According to your meaning, don't take my things outside to sell in the future?"
The middle-aged man suddenly smiled and said: "Look at what you said, we are cooperating, we are cooperating, you sell things to us, and we will sell them again, as for the price, it will definitely satisfy you, and it will definitely not let you suffer." ”
To say that this cooperation condition is still good, but as long as the cooperation is carried out according to the conditions provided by the other party, Wang Xiaoming will immediately be at a disadvantage and will be very passive.
Because the sales channel has been mastered by the other party, and Wang Xiaoming can only provide goods, the sales terminal is mastered by the other party, and it will be equivalent to being stuck by the other party in the future.
This kind of thing. Wang Xiaoming's unwillingness to do it.
If Wang Xiaoming is just seeking money to make money, then Wang Xiaoming may still agree, but now Wang Xiaoming is not seeking money to make money, but to increase his influence in the City of Glory, and he also hopes to control the City of Glory through these means, so naturally he can't agree.
What's more, these people are not easy to be kind.
Wang Xiaoming is not stupid, so he can naturally see that they are uneasy and kind.
Hearing Wang Xiaoming's refusal, the middle-aged man opposite was naturally in a bad mood. But he didn't dare to say anything.
After all, Wang Xiaoming is not an ordinary person, if he is an ordinary person, he will not use it here to discuss any cooperation, just grab it directly.
But in the face of Wang Xiaoming, even if there is a powerful force behind him, he does not dare to do anything excessive.
Wang Xiaoming didn't have the idea of embarrassing the person in front of him, after all, the person in front of him was just a messenger, so Wang Xiaoming said directly: "Okay, you can't be the master of this matter, you just go back and tell your master." They want to buy my goods, and I'm very welcome, but if you want to play any kind of machination, you have to be careful. ”
The middle-aged man nodded. Said helplessly: "You don't think about it anymore?
Wang Xiaoming shook his head and said with a smile: "It's naturally good for everyone to earn money together." But you have to be clear about the situation, okay, you should go. ”
The middle-aged man didn't say anything more. bowed to Wang Xiaoming again, then turned around and prepared to leave.
After a while, the middle-aged man arrived in a room in another building, and there were already twelve people sitting in the room, and these twelve people had mastered the source of eighty percent of the food in the city, and it could be regarded as the naming of the whole city.
It is almost impossible to do a food business in the City of Glory without their consent.
But now, the strong Wang Xiaoming is really troublesome for them, which makes their hearts feel a little heavy.
Needless to say, Wang Xiaoming's own strength can kill the Snow Mountain Demon Yuan, and the latest news is that Wang Xiaoming also won the beast tide, from one point, it can be seen that Wang Xiaoming's strength is strong.
Wang Xiaoming's own strength is strong, and in addition, Wang Xiaoming also has a helping force behind him, and the Xingyue Legion is also established, and the current Wang Xiaoming is really not so easy to deal with.
So from the bottom of their hearts, it is still a good thing for them to be able to coexist peacefully with Wang Xiaoming and cooperate with Wang Xiaoming.
But now after listening to the middle-aged man's return, it was Wang Xiaoming who did not agree to cooperate, which made the twelve people annoyed.
They look up to Wang Xiaoming, but it doesn't mean that they are afraid of Wang Xiaoming, if Wang Xiaoming is willing to cooperate, it is naturally easy to say anything, Wang Xiaoming is not willing to cooperate now, and they can't get rid of Wang Xiaoming.
The conflict of interests is often the most cruel and the most tragic.
"So, he doesn't agree?"
"Yes, the other side does not agree. ”
"Alright, you go down first. "After sending the middle-aged man out.
Among the twelve, a thin middle-aged man immediately said coldly: "This guy doesn't know how to lift, tell me, what should we do?"
Another person said: "What else can you do with guys who don't know how to lift, of course, it's still the old rule." ”
"Okay, let's still follow the old rules, let's see the situation first and then make a decision. ”
With a decision, the twelve's men were soon operational.
First of all, the first point is to cut off Wang Xiaoming's supply of goods, the twelve of them almost control all the food sources, as long as they control the source, there is almost no way for other stores to obtain raw materials for food.
Another point is that because they control most of the food sources, as long as the twelve of them agree to reduce the price, then the food in the whole city will inevitably follow suit.
The consequences of price reduction are very serious, because these foods are also costly, once the price is reduced, it will necessarily reduce the income, and even will lose money, loss-making trading, a day or two can be done, but as long as it is a few more days, no one can bear it.
The twelve of them have deep pockets and can hold out for a few more days, and those who are against them. Because the financial resources are not as large as theirs, they simply can't last a few days.
This is the method they are used to, although this method is very crude, but it is very useful.
The next day, the price of food in the market began to be lowered across the board, and the reduction was very large, after the price was reduced by two-fifths, after the price was reduced by two-fifths. Although it is still possible to make money, the profit is already very low.
You must know that these foods are not easy to come by, and it is necessary to send warriors to get food in the wild, and it is also necessary to pay for sending warriors, and most of the costs are hired on the wages of warriors.
The decline in food prices has the most direct impact. It is that there are more people buying food in the City of Glory, and there are long queues at the door of almost every grain store, waiting to buy food.
At the same time as the other party's price is reduced. Wang Xiaoming also took measures to reduce prices, but unlike them, Wang Xiaoming did not take measures to reduce all prices, but took partial price reductions.
There is no price reduction for high-end products. Only low-end products are reduced in price.
Those who will buy goods with reduced prices are actually poor, and rich people will not care about reducing prices at all. is also aimed at this, so Wang Xiaoming only lowers the price of low-priced goods, and as for the high-end goods, there is no impact at all, so there is no need to reduce the price.
The price reduction of low-priced goods is even more amazing than that of the other party, because Wang Xiaoming directly reduced the price by half.
The food sold by Wang Xiaoming was originally priced lower than that of the other party, but now it has dropped by half, so it is much lower than the other party, especially the food sold by Wang Xiaoming, in terms of taste, it tastes better and more attractive than the food of their twelve families.
As for wanting to block Wang Xiaoming's food source channels, after investigation, it was also found that it was not easy to do so.
Because Wang Xiaoming's food source is not to procure, but to rely on the personnel of the Xingyue Base to obtain it himself.
Especially the recent attack of the beast tide, Wang Xiaoming obtained a large amount of raw materials, and there will be no shortage of raw materials in a short period of time.
It's just that what makes it difficult for them to figure out is where Wang Xiaoming's food is processed.
You must know that the animals and plants in this world are poisonous, and almost all of them need to be processed twice before they can be eaten.
The twelve have their own food processing factories, and they don't have to rely on others to process food, judging from all kinds of signs, Wang Xiaoming also has his own food processing factory, but what makes them wonder is where Wang Xiaoming's food processing factory is set up.
Food processing factories are generally set up in the city, like their twelve food processing factories are set up in the City of Glory, the workers working in the factory are also ordinary people, these ordinary people's wages are very low, and the cost is almost negligible, even so, there are still a lot of people who want to enter the food processing factory to work, after all, having a stable job means that there is an extra stable meal.
That's too far, let's continue to talk about food processing plants.
For the twelve, Wang Xiaoming must have a food processing factory, as long as they find this food processing factory and then destroy this food processing factory, Wang Xiaoming's food source will be gone all of a sudden.
But what made the twelve of them feel strange was that there was no way to find Wang Xiaoming's food processing factory, not only could they not find Wang Xiaoming's food processing factory, but no one even saw Wang Xiaoming's food being transported into the city.
The more they investigated, the more they found that there was a big secret in Wang Xiaoming's body.
In Wang Xiaoming's body, it is also full of eccentricity.
The price war is still going on, as soon as Wang Xiaoming lowers the price, the other party also lowers the price, and now it depends on who can hold on to the end.
The twelve families are powerful, and Wang Xiaoming is also profound, and if he continues to fight like this, the possibility of losing both sides will be greater.
For the poor people in the City of Glory, they are the most happy and looking forward to this price war, the lower the price of food, the happier they are, and the more profitable they are.
Wang Xiaoming was naturally not idle, but was investigating the details of these twelve families.
Wang Xiaoming also understands that with the financial resources of these twelve companies, it will take a long time to defeat the other party by relying only on the price war.
Wang Xiaoming didn't have so much time to continue to spend with them.
Wang Xiaoming needs the support of intelligence, and then find the weaknesses of the other party and solve it quickly.
In the third week of the price war, Wang Xiaoming felt that it was not obvious, but the twelve were the first to panic and irritable.
In just three weeks of price war, the three of them suffered serious losses, and what made them even more patient was that in the price war, Wang Xiaoming's market share was still rising, and the market share of the twelve was still declining.
If this continues, not only will their losses grow, but their market share will also decrease.
The smaller the market share, the less able they will be able to dominate the market even if they return to their previous prices in the future.
Twelve are strong, but they are not one after all, but twelve, when it goes well, it is naturally easy to say anything, but once things don't go well, then it's hard to say anything.
The current situation is that the situation is unfavorable to the twelve, and if the price war continues, the twelve have no hope of winning, and even if they win, they will have to break their muscles and bones, which can be said to be extremely uneconomical.
So before Wang Xiaoming found the weakness of the twelve families and was ready to make a move, the twelve families were ready to attack Wang Xiaoming, and if they didn't do it, if they delayed for one more day, their losses would be one more point.
Before they became enemies with Wang Xiaoming, they had already investigated Wang Xiaoming, so they also knew very well about Wang Xiaoming's situation.
The operation they were preparing for was a decapitation operation themselves.
Among Wang Xiaoming's forces, he is the strongest among them, and at the same time, he is also the weakest point in the forces, because as long as Wang Xiaoming is killed, his power will collapse.
This beheading operation was aimed at Wang Xiaoming.
Wang Xiaoming's whereabouts are easy to find, and according to Wang Xiaoming's daily whereabouts, the twelve families quickly formulated a set of assassination operations.
Although Wang Xiaoming has been staying in the city, and the law also stipulates that it is not allowed to use force in the city, the regulations are regulations, and when it is time to do it, it is still necessary to do it.
In the face of sufficient interests, such a thing as breaking the law is insignificant at all.
As for the high-ranking people in the city, they are not afraid of whether they will trouble them because of their assassination.
Because they themselves are one of the high-level leaders of the city, as long as Wang Xiaoming is killed, and a murderer for the dead ghost is handed over after the crime, the case can be perfectly concluded, and everything will be over. (To be continued.) )
