Chapter 220, scramble to reduce the price
Qian Youcai, as a businessman, was keenly aware of the greasy here, then rolled his eyes slightly, smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Sun, you are not enough friends, someone has offered me a much, much lower price than yours, your price is too high, I will leave first." ”
After saying this, Qian Youcai immediately got up and walked outside, in fact, although Qian Youcai felt that there was something greasy in it, but he hadn't figured out their bottom line yet, so this was also tentative.
"Boss Money, Boss Money~"
When Shopkeeper Sun saw that Qian Youcai was leaving, he immediately hurriedly grabbed Qian Youcai.
"The price is negotiable, the price is negotiable, as long as the purchase volume is large, the price is still negotiable."
Shopkeeper Sun was very helpless in his heart, there was too much grain in Dongjiatun above, and now he had to sell these grains, and he needed such a big customer as money and wealth.
There are tens of thousands of employees in Xishan Coal Industry, who eat three meals a day, and the food consumed every day is very huge.
"Shopkeeper Sun, just say it directly, how much is a catty?"
Qian Youcai looked at Shopkeeper Sun and said very directly.
"One hundred and twenty pounds, no matter how low it is, it really won't work."
Shopkeeper Sun thought about it and gritted his teeth and reported a number again, taking advantage of the fact that the other party didn't know that everyone couldn't stand it anymore, he could earn a sum of money, one hundred and twenty pounds, and the consumption of Xishan Coal Industry was unlimited, and Xishan Coal Industry would definitely purchase it on a large scale.
"Farewell~"
As soon as Qian Youcai heard this price, he immediately felt happy in his heart.
The other party was willing to drop dozens of dollars a pound at once, which was enough to show that the other party was in a hurry to sell these grains, and there must be a lot of room for negotiation at this price, so he was not in a hurry to buy it, but pretended to be very angry, and turned his head and walked outside.
"Boss Qian, Boss Qian, the price can be negotiated and discussed, one hundred pounds, how much you want, I will have someone deliver it immediately."
Shopkeeper Sun saw this posture, and immediately became anxious, and hurriedly pulled Qian Youcai while lowering the price again, and at the same time scolded in his heart, it seems that other grain merchants have begun to reduce prices desperately.
Everyone really can't stand it, and if the grain in this hand is not sold, it will soon be all folded in their hands.
They had never been so embarrassed about this food, and they couldn't sell it in a hurry during the famine years.
Hearing the words of the shopkeeper Sun, Qian Youcai was slightly stunned, and then he didn't look back, and continued to walk outside, but it was already clear in his heart that these grain merchants were finally going to be unable to stand it.
"Ten pennies a pound ~ as long as ten pennies a catty."
"Fifty wen a catty, fifty wen a catty, there is really no way to be cheaper."
Seeing that Qian Youcai was leaving, Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly wanted to hold Qian Youcai, and on the other hand, he also lowered the price again and again, and the price had dropped from 17 wen a catty to only 50 wen a catty.
However, Qian Youcai still hasn't stopped, the grain of 50 wen a pound is still sky-high, usually only a few cents a pound of grain, sold for 50 wen a catty, directly increased more than ten times.
"Boss Qian, thirty wen a catty, thirty wen a catty, this is a famine era, this thirty wen a pound of grain is really the price of cabbage, it is absolutely impossible for someone to be lower than my price."
At that time, when Shopkeeper Sun reported thirty wen a catty, Qian Youcai stopped, looked at Shopkeeper Sun with sweat on his forehead, smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Sun, I can consider it if I have three wen a catty." ”
"Sanwen is a pound, why don't you grab it?"
"Now is the famine era, food is more expensive than life, three pennies a catty, you can't buy it, you can't buy it."
When the shopkeeper Sun heard this, he immediately shook his head again and again, the price of three cents a pound is almost this price in normal times, but now is the time of famine, and the cost of these grains of the owner is more than ten yuan a pound, and the owner will lose money for a pound.
"That's the next goodbye."
Qian Youcai now has a bottom in his heart, and walked directly to the next rice shop with the brand of 'Jiangnan Fragrant Rice'.
"Boss Qian, Boss Qian, welcome, welcome~"
Boss Su of the Jiangnan fragrant rice shop had already looked at Qian Youcai with a blank eye, and when he saw him walking towards his store, he immediately hurried forward to greet him.
At the same time, it is also a compliment to money and wealth.
"Boss Su, how much is your rice a catty, but the shopkeeper Sun next door has dropped to fifteen wen a catty."
Drinking good oolong tea, Qian Youcai said in an orderly manner.
"Fifteen cents a pound?"
"They don't want to live anymore?"
Hearing the words of Qian Youcai, Boss Su was also slightly stunned, and suddenly couldn't help but shout, they are all grain merchants, and everyone is united to sit in the village, so they know very well what the price is.
To tell the truth, at the price of fifteen cents a catty, they almost don't have much money to make, they can only make a hard-earned money.
"Hehe~"
Qian Youcai smiled, and it didn't seem strange.
But in their hearts, they have roughly figured out the bottom line in their hearts, and the price of about ten cents should be their bottom.
"Boss Qian, we are also regular customers, we are old friends, since you came to my store, I naturally can't let you go back empty-handed, fourteen yuan a catty, I am all good Jiangnan fragrant rice, there is no indiscriminate filling."
Boss Su thought about it, gritted his teeth, and stomped his feet to quote the price of 14 yuan a catty.
At this price, he really doesn't have much to earn, that is, because of the large amount of Xishan Coal Industry, he can quickly digest his inventory and recover the silver invested in the early stage in time, so as not to lose too badly.
After all, how much this grain can be sold or there is money to be made, if this can't be sold, then they will really lose a lot, not only do they not make money in this famine era, but they also have to lose money, and they don't have the face to say that they are grain merchants.
But this is the case at the moment, there are millions of catties of sea fish entering Beijing every day from Tianjin, and the scale of this entry into Beijing is getting bigger and bigger, and the number is increasing.
The grain transferred by the imperial court from the south and the grain sold by grain merchants from all directions are also approaching the capital step by step, and if they are not sold, they will really be smashed.
"Boss Su, I know your rice, it's all good Jiangnan rice, but your price is still too expensive, so I'm going to say goodbye."
Qian Youcai smiled, got up and walked out.
"Boss Qian, Boss Qian, thirteen dollars a catty, how much you want, I'll send it over immediately."
When Boss Su saw it, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly grabbed Qian Youcai, but at the same time, he endured the pain, and lowered the price again as if cutting meat.
Qian Youcai didn't stop, and continued to walk towards the next grain store.
It didn't take long for Qian Youcai to come out of this grain store again, and the price of this grain store had been reduced to ten cents a catty, and it had already begun to sell at a loss.
Money and wealth still haven't bought it, and the price is getting lower and lower as they continue to negotiate in a grain store.
"Boss Qian, you are also a businessman, you should know the difficulties of our business, a fixed price, a pound of money, but you need to purchase at least 100,000 catties at a time."
"At this price, I definitely sold at a loss, and I lost my money."
In He's rice store, Boss He was very helpless to quote the price of one pound of money, this price, he really lost money, and he lost several dollars to sell a pound of grain.
But it doesn't work if you don't sell it, because you can still recover some of the funds if you sell it, and if you don't sell it, you will lose even more.
"A pound of money~"
Qian Youcai also groaned after hearing this, he himself is a businessman, and he used to deal with these grain merchants, and the amount of grain for a pound of money is almost really very low, especially those rice from the southern region, because it is not easy to transport, the cost is actually quite high.
However, since the other party is willing to reduce it to one catty, this shows that these grain merchants really can't stand it, and it also means that now is not the time to buy grain, so he thought about it and found an excuse to leave the rice shop, and he was not in a hurry to buy grain.
"Next is the show."
Qian Youcai found a restaurant, and while eating and drinking very leisurely, he also asked his subordinates to pay close attention to the price of grain in the grain store.
Sure enough, in order to sell the grain in their hands as soon as possible, these grains began to be sold at reduced prices, and because there were very few people in the grain store, the grain merchants also let their guys in the store beat gongs and drums and began to shout on the streets of the capital.
"The good Jiangnan rice in Sun's rice shop is only one hundred and twenty wen a catty, and it is only one hundred and twenty wen a catty."
"Jiangnan fragrant rice shop has good Jiangnan rice, as long as 110 wen a catty, as long as 110 wen a catty."
"The grain in He's grain store has been greatly reduced, and the price has been greatly reduced, as long as one hundred wen a catty~ as long as one hundred wen a catty."
In the streets and alleys of the capital, accompanied by the shouts of these grain store children, everyone in the entire capital suddenly knew that these black-hearted grain merchants had finally begun to reduce their prices, and one was lower than the other, and the grain that originally cost 200 wen a pound was immediately reduced to only 100 wen a pound in a blink of an eye, and it was directly cut in half.
But now these ordinary people in the capital have sea fish to eat, and they can rely on sea fish to fill their family's stomach for a few pennies a day, and everyone will not think about buying rice at all, not to mention that this rice costs hundreds of dollars a catty.
"Hehe~ These black-hearted grain merchants finally can't stand it, tsk, look at their appearance, I feel very happy, I used to want them to buy rice at a lower price, but now I don't want us to buy them a pound of rice."
"Yes, some time ago, when this sea fish did not enter Beijing, my grandson was hungry, he only had fifty wen in his hand, and he couldn't even buy three or two rice, so I knelt down and asked them to kindly buy some rice for me, and beat me out directly, and said that he had no money to eat any rice."
"I don't have any money, so I eat meat now, I eat fish and meat, and their rice should be given to rich people to eat."
"Yes, resolutely don't sell these black-hearted grains of rice, a hundred yuan a catty, they are also making a lot of money, that is, they want to lose them, and these black-hearted grain merchants will be killed."
"It's still the Son of Heaven who is good to our people, he has opened a sea ban, so that everyone can go to the sea to fish, so that we can eat cheap sea fish and meat, and with this penny and a pound of meat, I just don't eat the rice of these profiteers."
"Haha, the price has been reduced again, did you hear it, the grain in Li's grain store has dropped to ten cents a catty, they are now going to eat dogs at the rhythm of dogs, there is a good show to watch."
"No matter how much it drops, I just don't buy their food, and I'm in a hurry to kill them, haha~"
"Yes, kill them urgently, we have sea fish, the emperor has opened a sea ban again, you can fish in the future, this sea fish can't be eaten."
“……”
The old and young masters in the capital looked at the grain store children who were beating gongs and drums and shouting, pointing at each other and talking and laughing at these people, and they all recalled the appearance of these grain stores in the past, and they were all unmoved, no matter how much you lowered it, anyway, I just won't buy your grain.
On the side of the grain store, the shopkeepers and bosses of each grain store all stood at the door of the store, ready to pull people into their own stores, ready to welcome the upcoming grain buyers.
However, what they didn't expect was that now the old and young masters in the entire capital no longer bought their accounts, although the price of this grain was falling again and again, but there was still no figure in the grain store here.
In the past, the attitude of these grain merchants was too bad, relying on the famine years, everyone had no food in their hands, and they agreed on the price with each other, and the grain carried the grain to the sky, and they also had a wild attitude of not buying, so that the old tricks on the capital side hated them to the core.
Now everyone is also watching from the wall, watching these grain merchants in the capital compete with each other to reduce the price, and together they will slowly beat the grain price from the sky back to the ground, but everyone has sea fish to eat, so naturally they will not buy this still sky-high price of grain.
Even the housekeepers and servants of the big families who used to come to buy grain have disappeared, and it seems that everyone seems to be waiting to see how much more money this grain can be reduced.
The whole grain store, except for the two shopkeepers of these grain stores, kept going back and forth, constantly reporting the prices of other grain stores, and then quoted their own prices, and then the shopkeeper and the boss looked at each other angrily.
Then I saw from the other party's eyes, why did you drop so much, and you still talked about whether you were trustworthy or not.
Of course, these shopkeepers and bosses are all small characters, and these bigwigs who are really behind the scenes are gathered in Hu Wanan's secret courtyard in one place.
As soon as they saw each other, their faces were very ugly, and they even glared at each other angrily, this time they were really losing blood.
