"That's right. Gong Qingshan nodded: "There are many forces in Guangsha, doing all kinds of business, and there is such a group of people among them who monopolize the right to operate fruits from Hougang to Guangsha City. They transported fruit from Hougang to Guangsha, quadrupling the price, and many supermarkets and small traders had to buy from them. Don't underestimate this business, it's a lot of money. ”

"What if you don't buy from them?"

"If the amount is very small, the total value is not much, and the other party will turn a blind eye. But if the purchase volume is very large...... Gong Qingshan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Your car can't enter the Guangsha at all!"

"Understood. Ren Xia nodded thoughtfully: "The alliance of Hougang and Maozhuang controls the pricing power of commodities, which seriously threatens the interests of these people. ”

Gong Qingshan nodded: "That's the case." ”

Shen Shiyue happened to call, turned around and came to Gong Qingshan, and talked about the project.

Ren Xia was fine, walked aside, took out his mobile phone, and made a call to Hua Beirong.

Although Ren Xia unified Fengdong District and helped Hua Beirong control Hougang and Maozhuang at the same time, Ren Xia actually did not know much about the situation in these two markets. What Gong Qingshan said just now added some new information to Ren Xia, it turned out that between Hougang and Maozhuang, there were some other markets.

Ren Xia asked Hua Beirong, and sure enough, just like Gong Qingshan said, strictly speaking, Hougang and Maozhuang are collectively referred to, referring to two large areas. Specifically, Hougang Market and Maozhuang Market are the largest markets in these two areas, and the owners are Hua Beirong and the original Luo Wenwen. Around and in the middle of these two large markets, there are also several small markets of varying sizes, scattered across the two plots of land in Hougang and Maozhuang.

Because Hougang and Maozhuang have always been at odds, they have given these markets room to survive, in fact, Huabeirong and Maozhuang have always wanted to annex these small markets, but they have never found an opportunity.

Now that Hougang and Maozhuang are united, this opportunity has come, Hua Beirong told Ren Xia: "I am starting to annex these small markets, and in the future, in Hougang and Maozhuang, there will only be our business, and there will be no other markets." ”

"You can do that. Ren Xia nodded, and then asked: "I heard that fruits and other commodities, from Maozhuang to Guangsha City, are actually monopolized by people?"

"That's right. Hua Beirong has no culture, and explained to Ren Xia in very straightforward language, and the basic content is almost the same as Gong Qingshan.

Agricultural products are a very huge industrial chain, from the production output to the consumer's mouth, through many links, and Hougang and Maozhuang are just one of the links. This industrial chain feeds too many people, there are too many people to make money from it, why you can often see such advertisements now that "no middlemen make the difference", is because all kinds of intermediate links, make too much money, and the money they earn needs consumers to pay.

Ren Xia expressed his worries: "Will they come to find trouble?"

"We only operate Hougang and Maozhuang, and we don't deliver directly to the city at the moment, and their business is not affected by us. Hua Beirong said disapprehantly: "If they come to find trouble, we will call them back!"

"I'm worried it's not that simple. Ren Xia said meaningfully: "In the past, because Hougang and Maozhuang were not unified, the price of commodities was very low, which gave these people room to make profits. Now that the two markets are unified, we have the final say on how much any commodity sells, and they will certainly not be happy. If we increase a penny, they will earn a penny less. ”

Hua Beirong proposed: "Then let them also increase the price." ”

"The price is too high, and the people won't buy it......" Ren Xia sighed: "The life of the common people is not so easy, and a pound of fruit is sold for ten or twenty yuan, which has a great impact on the people." Rich people may not care, ordinary office workers eat less or don't eat at all, after all, the monthly income is fixed, and the more money you spend to buy fruits, the less money you spend elsewhere. Don't you eat when your friends are social, don't you buy clothes for yourself, and you still have to pay the water, electricity and gas bills at home...... I really didn't expect that the money earned by the common people would finally be cheaper for these second-class dealers. ”

Hua Beirong also felt that the problem was very serious: "Then what should we do?"

"Let me think about it. Ren Xia told Hua Beirong: "Keep in touch, if there is any situation, ventilate in time." ”

Hua Beirong nodded: "Okay." ”

As soon as Ren Xia put down Hua Beirong's phone, Fang Zuiyun's phone called, and asked him in a very strange way: "I heard that you two spent the night?"

Ren Xia was stunned: "Who spent the night with the two of you?"

"You and Lin Yueting. ”

Ren Xia asked with a dark face, "What nerves did you have all of a sudden?"

"I'm not nervous. Fang Zuiyun said as a matter of course: "I was drinking coffee with Tingting just now, and Tingting said that you would eat crayfish two days ago, and then spend the night at your house." ”

"Yes. Ren Xia nodded: "We slept together." ”

"Huh?" Fang Zuiyun was very surprised: "You two ...... What's that?"

"Of course not. Ren Xia told Fang Zuiyun word by word: "Although they slept together, they were just synchronized in time, and the space was different." I'm in the master bedroom, Lin Yueting is in the guest bedroom, what do you want?"

"Tingting only said that she lived in your house, and didn't say anything else......"

"So what do you think happened to the two of us?"

"She didn't make it clear, I naturally have some associations......" Fang Zuiyun's tone was very weird: "By the way, I want to tell you that Tingting is likely to go to Paris for further study." ”

"I've heard that. Ren Xia nodded: "She has already told me." ”

In the eyes of many people, Tingting is a rich second generation with a good life, who goes in and out of various high-end places every day, enjoys famous wine, food and various luxury goods, and seems to have nothing to do. But I know very well that in fact, Tingting is a career-oriented woman, but she is still in the accumulation stage and has not done much. She has to continue to enrich herself, and after she has enough ability, she will show her strengths again......" After a pause, Fang Zuiyun said again: "In this accumulation process, she will not be disturbed in any way, so she will not fall in love." Because falling in love is the most disturbing thing about her career, it will distract her. ”

Previously, Lin Yueting herself mentioned the matter of going to Paris to study, but today Fang Zuiyun brought it up again, Ren Xia didn't understand why she was telling herself: "It seems that you should say these things to Stanley." ”

"Stanley is a thing of the past. Fang Zuiyun shook his head vigorously: "Tingting was not going to Paris at that time, so she contacted Stanley, if Tingting decided to go to Paris at that time, Stanley would not have any chance at all." In fact, perhaps because Stanley's matter was a little stimulated, Tingting decided to leave Paris. I reminded her that there might be more people like Stanley in Paris, but she didn't listen. ”
