Chapter 227: Competition
"Dad, just now Xingsheng came to say, I saw that someone in the town also bought red bricks, but they didn't buy them from us?" Li Anfu came to the house in a panic and told Li Qingshan!
"What do you say? How can anyone sell it too? Li Qingshan was so shocked that he stood up from his chair suddenly! No wonder the Li family was so surprised!
Not only Li Anfu panicked, but the Li family was the same, everyone knew that this method was obtained by the family for a long time of experimentation, only this one, there was no semicolon, and now, a competitor suddenly appeared!
This time, Li Xingsheng went to the town, and inadvertently saw someone pull the red brick back, looking at the direction not like it was from Lijia Village, Li Xingsheng stepped forward to inquire, it turned out that it was really not!
"It's the kid in the village just now, who's as old as our family Anxi, and when he goes to town, he just happened to see it! Dad, isn't this just our family's recipe? Why did others start burning too? Li Anfu frowned, and several other brothers were also standing behind!
Everyone has had a smooth ride for so long, although there are some small things, but this is all the parents' shortcomings, it is easy to solve, this is the biggest thing that the Li family has encountered, seeing that this is the Li family's work to eat, and also to support most of the people in Lijia Village now, to be honest, now Li Anfu is not only thinking about himself, but with such a competitor, the business will definitely decline, and it will also affect everyone's life!
"Boss, hurry up and inquire and see who is selling red bricks?" Li Qingshan knew that he couldn't panic at this time. The first thing is to find out what went wrong!
Originally, the Li family's secret formula was in the hands of their own family, even if they knew the materials used, the proportion of configuration was the most important. I didn't know what was wrong with that link!
Li Anfu was instructed. drove directly to the town, Li Anxi hurriedly followed, the two brothers shook the whip and snapped, and the cow ran forward as fast as possible, buying the old strength!
Sure enough, the people who use red bricks in the town now are all pulled by the Li family, but I looked at it today. There are many people who don't know each other, if they went to Li's house to buy bricks, Li Anfu should have an impression. The two of them glanced at each other and inquired about the work that was unloading the car!
It turned out that these bricks were bought from Yuhe Village, which is more than 40 miles away from the town, and they originally sold red bricks there, and only recently did they start to have red bricks at very cheap prices. Cheaper than those in Lijia Village. The Li family's is a penny a piece, and they buy four yuan for three pennies here, which is much more cost-effective than Lijia Village!
These days, the people of Yuhe Village vigorously promote in the town, saying that their bricks are cheap and durable, and that they have been a time-honored brand for many years, firing green bricks and green tiles for decades, and recently launched new varieties of red bricks. The quality is absolutely trustworthy, everyone can buy with confidence!
That's why it attracts a lot of people to buy it. Some went to be cheaper than the Li family, and some went to Yuhe Village's reputation of burning bricks for decades, and for a while, the limelight of Yuhe Village suppressed Lijia Village! After all, Lijia Village is newly rising, and there is no background of Yuhe Village!
"Two brothers, why are you asking this?" The guy who unloaded the bricks looked at the two of them asking questions and asking so much detail that he couldn't help but have some questions!
"This brother, isn't our family also going to build a house, today in the town, I overheard the big guy say that the red bricks are good, saying that the red bricks that someone bought elsewhere are cheaper than those in Lijia Village, so I want to inquire, you also know, the Zhuang family, it is not easy to make some money, you can save a little!" Li Anxi hurriedly cut off before Li Anfu was about to speak, and casually made up a nonsense, for fear that his eldest brother would not tell a lie and honestly say anything!
"So that's the case, it's really cheaper than that in Lijia Village, three cents and four yuan, a room can save a lot, and now we have a few here, all go there to buy, although it's farther away, but it saves money!" The guy suddenly realized that he felt the same way, they were all from peasant families, and building a house was a big deal, so he must inquire in many ways!
In this way, Li Anfu was introduced more carefully, and everything he knew was said!
After inquiring so carefully, Li Anfu and Li Anxi didn't stay long, they got on the ox cart directly, hurriedly rushed back, told everyone what they had heard, and then the big guys thought about countermeasures together!
The Li family, since the two left, the rest of the people were also in turmoil, anxiously waiting for the news they brought! This feels like a year, and after the two came back, they didn't even bother to drink saliva, and hurriedly told everyone the news!
For a while, everyone was silent, after all, this is the first time everyone has encountered this kind of thing!
Li Hui also learned the news after Li Anfu went to town, the most anxious are the women in the family, they are no better than men, they feel that the sky is about to fall, someone sells the same red bricks as their own, how will they live in the future!
"Mother, don't worry, at most, someone is competing with us, our business is almost there, don't we still have a hungry business to cooperate with Dongfang Gongzi? Rest assured, it won't affect us too much! Li Hui pulled a few women in the family to comfort her!
"Okay, it's my mother who thinks too much, we still have Xiaoye's business!" Hu Shi wiped the corners of his eyes, since he was pregnant, his mood has become much more sensitive, and he can't help crying at the slightest thing, but Li Hui's comfort still played a role!
After stabilizing the mood of two pregnant women and a woman, Li Hui also came to the hall, the men of the family discussed things, and Li Hui also came to participate.
Li Huiren frowned, to say that this was invented by someone, he really didn't believe it, his own family is also based on a little information in his impression There is still a long time of experimentation, so that there is now a relatively perfect red brick, from the Li family to promote, to now, a total of a few months, there are people to imitate, Li Hui thinks, there is only one possibility!
"There is a mole !!" Li Anxi's voice and Li Hui sounded at the same time, and the uncle and nephew coincided!
"What?" Li Qingshan and Li Anfu were shocked!
"How is this possible, we are all from the village, and they are all honest people, so they shouldn't be able to betray us!" Li Qingshan didn't believe it. But my heart is a little shaken!
To tell the truth, this person was chosen by himself and the village chief, and they are all old people who know each other. What good is it to sell your home? Besides, people who usually stir and the like are their own letters, they shouldn't do this kind of thing, it's not good, it's harmful to others and themselves!
"Grandpa, I know. The people who mix our seasons are all homemade, but what about the others? Even though we pay close attention, we have been working together. There are some things that can't be hidden, and there is nothing that can't be done for the sake of profit! Li Hui knows that people die for money. Birds die for food. Nothing is impossible!
"Is there really such a person, could it be that someone else researched it himself?" Li Qingshan said so, but he obviously lacked confidence, there were so many people in the field, and no one could guarantee his character in private!
"Grandpa, the top priority is to find out this person, so that he can't continue to betray our family in the future!" Li Hui didn't expect it. The problem of imitation will arise so quickly!
At this moment, Yuhe Village
"Our business is good these days. At the end of the month, pay the big guys! Yu Shiwen was very happy, looking at the endless stream of people at the door of the venue, since he opened the venue, he had never encountered such a good business!
As soon as I was in a good mood, I promised to raise the salary of the big guy, and when everyone heard it, they worked harder!
"Thank you, Master Yu!" Everyone answered in unison! Then work harder!
Although Yu Shiwen is a tough person, he can't be compared with the Li family, but for the clansmen in the same village, Yu Shiwen is still doing well, fortunately, everyone has a fixed job, and there is no need to run around all day to do odd jobs!
The boom of this business is also something that everyone is happy to see!
Yu Shiwen put his hands behind his back, he was in a very good mood, for so many years, no one dared to compete with him, he didn't have a new recipe from the Li family, they could burn it, and they could burn it themselves!
It can also be sold cheaper than the Li family, in this way, the Li family will definitely reduce the price in order to attract guests, if they dare to reduce the price, they will be able to defeat them in a price war, this trick Yu Shiwen used very skillfully!
When he came to the door of the house and saw Li Jin waiting, Yu Shiwen was in a good mood, so he naturally politely invited people in!
"Master Yu, congratulations, business is booming!" Li Jin came from the town, not to mention other places, just the town, Yu Shiwen got a lot of business, and there were fewer and fewer people going to the Li family, and he was one step closer to his goal!
"Thank you, Brother Li, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have burned new bricks so quickly!" The Li family also guessed correctly, it was indeed a traitor, the last time Li Jin came to find him and asked, Yu Shiwen gave Li Jin an order to find this, find a way to get the Li family's recipe for burning red bricks, and the benefits are indispensable to him!
After Li Jin went back, he really began to sell this matter, in the middle, Yu Shiwen gave Li Jin a hundred taels of silver, and let him be responsible for this matter, and there was a lot of thanks after the fact, Li Jin didn't see Yu Shiwen's business was very good, so he wanted to ask for some benefits, and the silver was almost spent before!
"Boss Yu is too polite, I just ran errands, but indeed, I also spent a lot of effort, don't you know, the people in the Li family are honest people, and it was not easy for me to convince a person to get their formula!" Li Jin smiled, bent down and nodded at Yu Shiwen, groveling attitude!
"Okay, you also have a lot of credit this time, give it, this is the silver for you, the Li family still wants you to keep an eye on it!" Although Yu Shiwen can't look down on Li Jin's flattering face, the Li family still needs someone to keep an eye on it, so that he can keep abreast of the Li family's dynamics at any time, and he can deal with it when the time comes!
"Boss Yu, don't worry, I will do it for you!" As a result, Li Jin hurriedly put the silver rewarded by Yu Shiwen into his pocket and thanked Yu Shiwen with a smile! Then I left happily!
Humming a little tune, Li Jin left happily, drove the ox cart, arrived in the town, did not go home as soon as possible, but drove the ox cart into an alley, whistled, tied the ox cart, and walked into a two-story small building with bright red decorations!
"Oh, this uncle! You're here, hurry up, please, girls, there's a guest coming! "It turns out that this is a flower house in the town, since Yu Shiwen was embarrassed, Li Jin's hand has money, so he can't control himself, take the silver, come here from time to time, and be familiar with the proprietress of the flower house here!
"Mom, find a beautiful one for you!" Li Jinliu's angry voice and his sturdy physique don't match at all, but the old bustard looks at silver, not his looks, and everything is enough with silver!
In the afternoon, Li Jincai came out of the flower building with a smile on his face!
The young girl here is better than the yellow-faced woman at home, this day the competition is a living immortal, Li Jin took the rest of the silver and went home!
In the past few months, the Huang family knows what Li Jin is doing outside, and he also knows that it is suitable for the Li family to be opposed, just right, he doesn't like the Li family in the first place, plus Li Jin can get a lot of money from the family from time to time, the Huang family happily accepts it, and then hides it tightly, and does not find Li Jin's abnormality at all!
Meimei drank a little wine, and even the days with a few brothers were much better because of Li Jin's relationship!
The Li family
"So what do we do? How do you catch a mole? Li Qingshan looked at the way the little granddaughter said the Tao, and couldn't help but want to hear her opinion!
"Grandpa, it's not easy to find an estimate of this day or two, so let's stare at the field first to see who is always dishonest in their work, and from time to time they look at this and that, it is estimated that this is a mole!" Li Hui thought about it, since someone can do this in front of so many people, they must be very careful!
Why didn't so many people in the Li family find out?
"Yes, Dad, let's take a closer look, and by the way, find the trustworthy ones and help keep an eye on them!" Li Anxi also agrees with Li Hui's opinion, I don't believe that people who have done bad things don't show a little bit of!
"Then you guys should find someone to keep an eye on and see who goes to the mix from time to time!" Li Qingshan explained to everyone, "By the way, if anyone reports meritorious service, we will give him a salary and a reward!" ”
For others to imitate, others to steal the formula, the Li family is very helpless, this is not like modern, there is patent protection, here, can only suffer a dumb loss!
However, the person who leaked this out can't be spared, and the Li family didn't treat them badly, how could they still do such a conscienceless thing!
After this incident, Li Yujin's exams were temporarily put aside by everyone, instead of waiting anxiously! There's still important things to do!
Li Yujin couldn't help much in this matter, and the adults of the Li family didn't want such a thing to affect them, so they didn't tell them that these days after the exam, except for communicating with other candidates on the day of the exam!
After coming home for so many days, I have been studying seriously, asking my master for advice, and no matter what the result of this exam is, I must be fully prepared for the next time! (To be continued.) )
