Chapter 35: I can't think about it
(Thanks for the tip against smashing)
The next day.
In the wet market.
Li Wangliang didn't rent a house in order to save money, he and his wife woke up early, and the suppression of Zhang Wei's business these days has achieved initial results, which makes him can't help but be proud.
"Yo, the door opened so early today, their family is desperate. Li Wangliang brushed his teeth and smiled at his wife.
His wife looks like a woman, and her voice is quite thin: "As far as you are smart, if people also reduce the price, see if you can still laugh." ”
"If he lowers the price, I have a way to deal with them. Li Wangliang said disdainfully: "I'm in a hurry, I'll mix new rice with old rice, and then reduce the price to see who has played whom." ”
"As far as you can, what can you think of that no one else can think of?" his wife gave him a blank look.
Li Wangliang didn't bother to pay attention to his wife, and hurriedly ate breakfast and was ready to wait for the customer to come to the door.
Recently, about 2,000 catties have to be sold every morning, which makes Li Wangliang very satisfied, although the price has dropped, but the sales have gone up, and he has made more money than before.
Li Wangliang, who was waiting for the business to come to the door, suddenly felt that something was wrong, why did it seem that there were many people around the rice shop opposite, and his side had not yet opened!
"Hey, wife. Li Wangliang shouted to his wife: "Is there an accident on the other side, why are so many people surrounding over there?"
"How do I know? Why don't you go over and take a look. His wife was also curious.
Li Wangliang hesitated for a while, but still didn't go: "Forget it, let's find someone to ask when it's not busy." ”
Li Wangliang hit the nail on the head this time, he wasn't very busy all morning, he sent some rice to a few old businesses, and then he sat here stupidly and waited, and it didn't sell five or six hundred catties until nine o'clock, and in his field of vision, Zhang Aiguo carried rice on his back again and again and loaded into the tricycle and left, now he was dumbfounded, why did the business completely reverse after a day?
Fortunately, the old Chen family's business is not very good, Li Wangliang comforted himself in his heart.
Why is the business on the other side so good? Li Wangliang became angry in his heart, and finally he couldn't stand it anymore, so he slipped over and took a look from afar.
Li Wangliang looked very injured inside, is he crazy on the other side? The exquisite billboard reads, buy 50 catties and get 5 catties, buy 100 catties and get 12 catties free, what kind of business is this, it is obviously losing money!
"This family is crazy, in order to grab business, they actually sell fifty catties and give five catties away. After Li Wangliang went back, he said to his wife sourly: "If you can't compensate them, you can give 12 catties of rice for 100 catties, and the cost will be lost." ”
Although his wife doesn't look very good, her head is quite flexible: "Liang, I can't see it, if we continue like this, our business will be robbed by them sooner or later." ”
"That's for them to hold out until then. Li Wangliang said with red eyes and pretending to care, in fact, his heart was already dripping blood, how good it would be for these businesses to be in his house.
His wife explained: "They earn two cents and a pound for rice, ten yuan for fifty pounds, and the cost of giving five pounds is only three yuan and five ......."
"Why are there three yuan and five? It's obviously four yuan and five ......" Li Wangliang also reacted when he said, patting his thigh and saying angrily: "Nima, this family is too treacherous, no, if you continue like this, the business will really be robbed by them, and their family will do it like this, and I will do it too!"
His wife said, "Don't, we'll lose money." ”
It's a pity that Li Wangliang insisted on going his own way, he found a piece of cardboard paper and wrote that he bought fifty catties and got six catties, and one hundred catties gave thirteen catties, and he thought viciously in his heart, give one more pound than your family, so that your family will definitely not be able to do me!
As a result, the reality still made Li Wangliang want to cry.
Those who bought rice turned a blind eye to his advertisements.
Li Wang looked at Zhang Wei's family's business booming, and felt uncomfortable, why did no one buy the same means, and no one would buy the extra pound of rice he sent? Why on earth was this? He couldn't figure it out, and his heart was about to break.
Finally saw an old business coming, Li Wangliang hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Brother Sun, will I send you another fifty catties of rice today?"
Brother Sun said hesitantly: "That, I haven't finished eating the rice at home, let's talk about it later." ”
Li Wangliang was a little puzzled, but if people didn't buy it, he couldn't force people to buy it, right?
Oh, no!
Li Wangliang wiped his eyes in disbelief, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, why did he go to the old Zhangjia rice shop before he finished eating the rice at home? Are you kidding me?
Heartache, more than a year-old business was snatched away like this, and Li Wangliang's heartache was trembling.
At this time, Brother Sun walked back to buy vegetables, Li Wangliang couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Brother Sun, why don't you buy rice at my house?"
Brother Sun was a little embarrassed and said, "No, I will come to your house to buy it when there is no rice at home." ”
"Brother Sun, don't lie to me, I saw you go to buy rice on the other side!" Li Wangliang did not give up.
Brother Sun was a little annoyed, and said: "Where do I go to buy it is my freedom, do you care? The rice of other people is better than yours, and 100 catties will give 12 catties!"
"But my family will give 13 catties for 100 catties!" Li Wang said with bright eyes.
"You're endless? People are good at rice, do you understand rice? I'm too lazy to tell you, I won't come to your house to buy rice in the future!" Brother Sun turned around and left.
Li Wangliang looked at his back without tears, stretched out his hand as if he wanted to recruit Brother Sun back, and muttered, "Mine is cheaper......"
In the end, Li Wangliang couldn't figure out why his rice was cheaper but he couldn't do Zhang Wei's family, and the whole person was depressed like a plague chicken, sitting in the store without saying a word.
Finally, at noon, he couldn't help but walk towards Zhang Wei's rice shop.
……
Zhang Wei was woken up by his parents very early, and when he saw his parents' excited and nervous looks, he was also excited, this is related to his own business!
For this reason, Zhang Wei is still studying today, anyway, it is a kindergarten, and it is okay if he doesn't go.
Market.
When the sky was still dark, Zhang Wei's house opened the storefront, put up the finished billboard at the door, and opened two more bags of rice.
What Zhang Wei didn't expect was that the business boomed not long after the store opened.
Customer 1: "Hey, really buy 50 catties and get 5 catties free?"
"It's more real than pearls!"
Customer 1: "Then give me fifty catties, don't forget to send five catties!"
Customer 2: "Buy 100 catties and get 12 catties free?
"You can weigh it when you go back, and you will lose ten catties for one or two meters less!"
Customer 2: "Then give 100 catties, 90 yuan, right?"
Customer 3: "Huh, what kind of rice is this? I've never seen rice with such a beautiful package!"
"Of course it's good rice, and it's not expensive, buy more and give more!"
Customer 3: "It's good to look at the packaging, give me a hundred catties." ”
A similar situation continues, Zhang Wei's rice is selling crazy, and he is a person who buys rice all morning, when people see the content on the billboard, as long as they stop and ask, there is a good chance that they will buy fifty catties, or even one hundred catties of rice, and there are few people who buy ten catties and twenty catties all morning.
Zhang Wei saw his father sweating and smiling so happily, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for his father, and silently thought that when the family made more money, he would ask a small worker to send rice together.
"Be patriotic, drink some water. Cheng Lin felt sorry for her husband again, and was excited about business, and said: "Son, how do you look like a melon? As soon as this promotion method came out, our family's business was crazy, and we sold 2,000 catties of rice all morning." ”
Zhang Wei smiled slightly and said: "Yesterday, the packaging bags were a little less, Dad, when you send the rice later, let people make some packaging bags, and also, find a public phone in the afternoon, call Boss Qian, and ask him to send another 5,000 catties of rice." ”
Boss Qian is the wholesaler of Zhang Wei's family and the only rice wholesaler in this area of the Bay Area, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the overlord of the rice market.
"Hey!" Zhang Aiguo looked excited and said, "There are still fifty catties of rice to be sent, so I'll do these two things." As he spoke, he held a bag of fifty catties of rice and put it on the back seat of the bicycle.
Looking at his father who sent rice, Zhang Wei was also slightly excited, but seeing his father so tired made him feel distressed, and he was even more determined to ask a small worker to help deliver rice.
Zhang Wei sat at the door, and his mother was cooking lunch inside.
"Where's your father, kid?" a voice said.
Zhang Wei looked up at Li Wangliang and said with a smile: "My dad sent rice, is there anything wrong?"
"Didn't your family promise us to reduce the price? Why do you have promotions again?" Li Wangliang gasped slightly, as if he was suppressing something.
Zhang Wei looked at him with a strange look and said, "Does our family's promotion have anything to do with you?"
"Why doesn't it matter, rob my business!" Li Wangliang said angrily.
"Huh. Zhang Wei smiled and said: "I remember that my family promised to raise the price, but when you turned around, you lowered the price, and you still had the face to ask why my family was doing promotions?"
Li Wangliang was speechless, as if... It seems that this is the case, if he hadn't lowered the price first, Zhang Wei's family would not have engaged in promotions, and if Zhang Wei's family had not engaged in promotions and fair competition, his family's business would not have been robbed, and he would have asked for it......
Some of the depressed Li Wangliang didn't know how to get back to his shop, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and finally he couldn't help but feel black in front of him, and he couldn't think of fainting!
