Only an hour apart, Zhao's rice shop lowered the price of rice again, reducing the price to 180 yuan per stone of rice and 19 yuan per bucket of rice.
This move made the local people on the street even more crazy, after all, one stone of rice is 180 yuan, which is almost the price of at least five or six years ago.
"Another twenty dollars have been dropped, this Zhao family is really menacing."
"Did the Zheng family offend the Zhao family? This Zhao family made it clear that they couldn't get along with the Zheng family. β
"You just know? β¦β¦ I don't know if the Zheng family will reduce the price again. β
"The son of the Zheng family will reduce the price quickly, if you reduce the price, I will definitely go to your Zheng's rice shop to buy rice, otherwise I can only go to the outsider...... That's twenty bucks. β
"Don't worry, it's coming soon, the Zheng family is my Ruyang family, even if it is a famous family in Henan, how can I be easily intimidated by the Zhao family's foreigner? If you look at it, the Zheng family will immediately reduce the price. β
"Having said that, the two fought so fiercely that the Zheng family didn't send someone to smash this Zhao's rice shop...... It seems that the Zheng family is afraid of the Zhao family. β
"Will the Zheng family be afraid of the Zhao family? You know a fart, the Zheng family just wants to win the dignity. β
Locals in the streets were talking, and some even got into arguments over different points of view.
At this time, the news that Zhao's rice shop had lowered the price of rice again also spread to Zheng's rice shop and to Zheng Qian, the son of the Hou of Ruyang.
"One hundred and eighty dollars a stone?"
After hearing the latest price of Zhao's rice shop, Zheng Qian's face was gloomy as if he could wring out the ink, but he was still not panicked, and this time he was more decisive: "Follow!" β¦β¦ No, down to one hundred and seventy dollars a stone. β
From the side, Wang Zhi's face showed a little shock, and he couldn't help but persuade: "The prince ......"
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zheng Qian.
I saw him standing at the window, coldly looking at the window on the second floor of Zhao's rice shop, and looking at the second son of the Zhao family playing malice at him in the window.
"I don't know the height of the sky, the boy is too underestimated by my Zheng family, not to mention hundreds or thousands of stones, even if it is sold at such a price of tens of thousands of stones, my Ruyang Hou Mansion can afford to lose!" He said coldly.
Looking at Zheng Qian's gloomy face, Wang Zhi hesitated for a moment and swallowed back the persuasion in his heart.
In all fairness, he just felt that it was too much of a loss to do so, but Zheng Qian's confident words suddenly made him realize one point: how could he, the Zheng clan in Ruyang, be compared to a foreigner on the ground in Ruyang?
After a while, the guys of Zheng's rice shop put up a new price card, and the price of "170 yuan and one stone" was mainly anti-customer, which shocked the local people who were looking forward to it on the street.
I have to say that the people in Ruyang on the street all guessed that the Zheng family would definitely pay tribute in return, but they didn't expect that the son of the Zheng family would have such a courage, anti-customer-oriented, and in turn oppress the Zhao family's rice shop. - Well, in fact, the Zheng family is the master.
"Oh-"
"It's worthy of the Zheng family! It is worthy of the Marquis Mansion of Ruyang! β
As soon as Zheng's rice shop was listed, the crowd on the street immediately cheered.
It may be that the regional ideology is causing trouble, don't look at the Ruyang Zheng family, they don't do anything to benefit their neighbors on weekdays, but when a foreigner appears to challenge the authority of the Zheng family, most Ruyang people still instinctively hope that the Zheng family can win.
It was with this kind of thought in mind that some locals shouted at Zhao's rice shop: "Hey, Zhao family, Zheng family has dropped to one hundred and seventy yuan, what do you say?" β
Although the tone was not so polite, Ma Cheng and the others, who were standing in front of the store to maintain law and order, did not get angry, but just glanced at the Zheng's rice shop that was diagonally opposite, and then said lightly: "Don't be impatient, everyone, someone has already gone to ask my second son." β
As Ma Cheng said, Zhang Ji ran to the second floor again and reported the matter to Zhao Yu: "Second son, the Zheng family ......"
"I hear you."
Zhao Yu glanced at Zheng Qian, who was standing on the inside of the window on the second floor of Zheng's rice shop in the distance, and said with a smile: "This Zheng Zide, is he so backbone?" β¦β¦ No, it should be said that his Zheng family has a big business, and he doesn't care about this loss at all, right? Hum. With a light snort, he commanded, "Drop it again, down to one hundred and fifty dollars a stone." β
Hearing this, a hint of hesitation appeared on Zhang Ji's face.
In all fairness, the Zheng family can afford to lose, and he Luyang Zhao can also afford to lose, especially in terms of rice and grain, not to mention seeing that the 50,000 stones of the second uncle Zhou Fu are about to arrive in Yecheng, and the eldest uncle Zhou Yun in Xuzhou, Xuzhou is the land of grain and rice, for the sake of the face of his sister, brother-in-law, and nephew, it is conservatively estimated that it should not be a problem for this eldest uncle to get 100,000 or 200,000 stone of grain.
In the face of these 50,000 stones, 100,000 stones, and 200,000 stones, what is it to sell a few hundred stones of rice?
But the question is, does it really make sense to kill 1,000 enemies and damage 800 yourself?
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but persuade: "Second son, it is meaningless to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to yourself like this, in the end, it just cheapens the locals of Ruyang, and the price of rice in our Luyang County is still maintained at two hundred and twenty yuan." β¦β¦ Even, the people of Ruyang have been cheapened, and they may not accept our love, the second son, you haven't heard or seen those people on the street, most of the locals are clearly interested in the Zheng family, even if they get a profit this time, they will only thank the Zheng family, and even laugh at us. β
Hearing this, Zhao Yu smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, these losses can be taken back with interest when the time comes!" β
"From the military market of Wancheng?" Zhang Ji frowned slightly and said, "Having said that, I always feel that the battle of righteousness with the Zheng family in Ruyang is just cheaper for the people of Ruyang...... The hateful thing is that this group of people may not accept our affection. β
Zhao Yu smiled: "I don't need them to admit it." β
As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Qian in the distance, shook his head slightly and said, "The Zheng family is too arrogant. β¦β¦ If it were me Zheng Qian, even if the Wang County Commander of Ruyang refused to help, I would send someone to spread rumors and use the power of the local Ruyang people to drive out the Zhao family...... But the Zheng family is too arrogant, they can't pull their faces to do this, maybe they feel that their family has a big business and it is impossible to lose, so they let us fight with him, which makes the people of Ruyang accept that my Zhao family has a store in Ruyang County...... You say that the people of Ruyang on the street do not admit their feelings? You go and ask them, are they reluctant to let me Zhao leave Ruyang? β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhang Ji was stunned, as if he had figured out something, and nodded thoughtfully.
"I won't give up. β¦β¦ Because they also know that if my Zhao family leaves Ruyang, the Zheng family will immediately restore the price of rice to the price of two hundred and thirty yuan, and even, in order to earn the previous loss, the price may be higher, but as long as my Zhao family is still in Ruyang, they will be able to buy grain at a price far lower than normal. β¦β¦ In other words, we have established ourselves in Ruyang. Zhao Yu said calmly.
He mainly explained to Jing Nu, because since the beginning, Jing Nu tilted her head and looked confused.
"I see."
Zhang Ji nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but saw Zhao Yu suddenly stop him and asked, "Zhang Ji, send someone to go around several other Zheng family's shops in the city to see if those ones have reduced their prices and how their business is." β
"Yes!"
Zhang Ji was stunned, and then left.
Listening to the footsteps of Zhang Ji going downstairs next to his ears, Zhao Yu once again turned his eyes to the Zheng family's rice shop, looking at the people coming in and out, and roughly estimating the amount of grain sold by the Zheng family.
After a while, Zhao's rice shop lowered the price again, lowering the price to one hundred and fifty yuan per stone.
Just like Zhao Yu said, people's hearts are really easy to change, no, obviously Fang is still shouting, "The Zheng family has dropped to one hundred and seventy yuan, do you Zhao dare to drop it again?" In that case, it immediately turned into amazement.
"This Zhao family, the financial resources are also abundant, and he didn't blink his eyes and dropped twenty dollars."
"Look at what you said, how can the Zhao family say that he is also a townsman in Luyang County, how many meters has his family sold so far? A hundred stones? It's only a hundred stones, and it seems that such nobles don't care at all...... In contrast, the Zhao family's reaction surprised me even more, this Zhao family, does it really want to fight with the Zheng family to lose both? I don't know what enmity or grudge these two families have. β
"It doesn't matter what kind of hatred or grudge he has, I only care about the price of this grain, and I will only applaud it when it is lowered to less than 100 yuan."
"It's only good to drop it to fifty dollars a stone!"
"Fifty bucks? Hahahaha...... It's a good thing to give it away for free! β
It's not a big deal to see the excitement, seeing that the Zhao and Zheng families are in full swing on the price of rice, but the crowds of Ruyang locals on the street are like watching the excitement.
At this time, the news that Zhao's rice shop had reduced the price again also reached Zheng Qian's ears, and he was so angry that he clenched his fists and his face was full of gloom.
I have to say that he felt a little weak in his heart at the moment.
It's not that the price of false rice is too low, but the opponent who is weak this time - he can't eat it at all, and he can't tell if the young Zhao Yu on the other side has the idea of 'the cub sells the field is not distressed'.
If it was the Luyang Township Marquis who came in person, then Zheng Qian would definitely be true, after all, the Luyang Township Marquis is an adult and sensible, but this young Zhao Yu ......
Don't fight between the two at that time, you really hit a few dollars and a stone, right? What's the difference between that and giving it away for free? Although his Zheng family has a big business, he can't afford to squander it like this.
After thinking about it, Zheng Qian decided not to provoke Zhao Yu again, after all, if he provoked again, Zhao Yu would drop to one hundred yuan in one go, and then his Zheng family would definitely have to follow for the sake of face, and it would be too miserable.
It is undeniable that this is a rational judgment, but Zheng Qian can't get past his own level in his heart, he only feels his cheeks burning with shame and his head sweating.
"It's a long time coming, I see how many days your family can last!"
Staring at Zhao Yu in the distance, he gritted his teeth and cursed.
