Yushan Town.

Tang Yu sat in Liu Juntao's house and was extremely indignant, and loudly told what happened to him in Xuzhou: "Mr. Lian! The Xu family is extremely arrogant, it is simply unreasonable! We sincerely want to do business with the Xu family, but we don't want to be treated like this by the Xu family! ”

On the side, Hu Dexing, Liu Zi'an, and Guo Yongzhong were all angry, and Liu Juntao was also silent with his brows furrowed.

Guo Yongzhong said angrily: "This Xu family is simply a wealthy family, and they are so stingy in their actions, I really don't know how Xu Zhaohui achieved today's achievements!" ”

Hu Dexing roared even more: "Jun Tao! I think we'd better send troops south! What kind of business do you do with the Xu family, directly knock down the Xu family, and you will have all the iron ore or something! ”

"No!"

Liu Zi'an hurriedly dissuaded and said: "Didn't Minister Tang also say just now, the Xu family's men and horses are also very well-equipped, not only equipped with armor and unified blades, but also well-trained, generally equipped with bows and arrows, which is extraordinary!" ”

After listening to Liu Zi'an's words, Hu Dexing immediately said unhappily: "What? Minister Liu, is this scared? My Yushan Town Escort Team has gone all the way, didn't that time defeat the strong with the weak? Today, my Yushan Town Guard has more than 10,000 soldiers, and the Seiko fire gun and stainless steel armor have been installed, so what is there to fear from the Xu family! ”

"I'm not afraid of the Xu family, but I don't want our escort team's sons to go to the Xu family to fight hard, and then everyone will lose more than they lose!"

Hu Dexing no longer paid attention to Liu Zi'an, but looked at Liu Juntao and asked, "Juntao, you have something to say!" What exactly is the charter? ”

Liu Juntao raised his head and said, "Perhaps, it was a mistake for us to go south to discuss business with the Xu family!" ”

"What!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and they all thought that Liu Juntao had retreated.

Liu Juntao continued: "What business are we going to discuss with the Xu family? Buy Iron Ore! However, the Xu family itself is a large producer of iron, and the vast majority of the iron tools in Shandong are produced by the Xu family! Let's come to the door to buy iron ore, what will the Xu family think? ”

Everyone suddenly realized when they heard Liu Juntao's words.

Tang Yu said with an unkind face: "The Xu family must have thought that we were going to steal business with them!" ”

Guo Yongzhong asked suspiciously: "But Tang Yudu hasn't seen the Xu family's stewards yet, and he was driven back by those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, how did the Xu family know that we were going to buy iron ore?" Tang Yu hadn't mentioned it to those little minions! ”

Liu Zi'an shook his head and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Since we can go south to investigate the situation of the Xu family, the Xu family can also go north to investigate the news of our Yushan Town! What's more, not long after our Yushan Town destroyed the Kong family, such a big news came out, and it was impossible not to be noticed by the Xu family! ”

"That's right!"

Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "Now it is certain that the Xu family has already resisted our Yushan Town, and even regarded our Yushan Town as an enemy, but the two sides have not officially entered into a conflict, and they have not completely torn their faces with each other!" ”

Guo Yongzhong sighed and said, "In other words, it is impossible for us to buy iron ore from the Xu family anymore!" ”

Liu Juntao nodded heavily and said, "Since we can't buy it, then we have to think of another way!" ”

"What's the solution?"

Everyone hurriedly asked, thinking that Liu Juntao was going to fight with the Xu family.

Liu Juntao thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, it's not time to completely tear your face with the Xu family!" But it can't make the Xu family feel better! ”

Everyone asked Liu Juntao what he was going to do, and Liu Juntao said to Tang Yu: "Tell the shops everywhere in the Ministry of Commerce to comprehensively block the Xu family's goods, and squeeze the Xu family's iron tools and other goods out of Yanzhou Mansion at any cost!" ”

Tang Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and asked: "Mr. Lian, this iron tool is a necessary item for every family, how can we do it to squeeze the Xu family's iron tools out of Yanzhou Mansion?" ”

"Tell the shops in various places to post notices, just say that the shops in my Yushan Town will buy Xujia ironware from now on, and one pound of ironware can be exchanged for half a catty of Liu's two pots!"

Hearing this, Tang Yu instantly understood, clapped his hands and said, "This method is so good!" In this way, in less than two months, the number of Xu family ironware on the market in Yanzhou Mansion will be reduced by half! Then, the shop of our Ministry of Commerce will sell a large number of Xujia ironware hoarded at a very low price! In this way, a large number of low-cost ironware is enough to completely crush the Xujia ironware! ”

Guo Yongzhong also laughed and said: "In this way, not only will the reputation of the Xu family's ironware be stinky, but there will be no other way in the future than to sell it at a low price!" Otherwise, the people will not admit to the purchase! ”

Hu Dexing asked suspiciously: "But won't the Xu family buy the ironware on the market with their own money?" ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Let him!" As long as the Xu family pays their own silver and we rush to buy the ironware on the market, then we will secretly raise the price, let the Xu family spend several times the silver to buy it back, and then sell it at the original price! ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, admiring Liu Juntao for being able to come up with such a vicious method!

In fact, everyone doesn't know that in later generations, similar business tactics like this abound, and Liu Juntao just used the simplest one!

Maybe Yushan Town and the Xu family will pay a lot of price when they meet each other, or even lose both, but when it comes to business wars, the Xu family can only be killed!

Mid-June of the twelfth year of Orthodoxy.

The Ministry of Commerce of Yushan Town suddenly made a move, and the shops walking around Yanzhou Mansion began to buy Xujia ironware with all their might, and exchanged it for the popular Liu's Erguotou, and then even the shops in Yushan Town, such as Qingzhou Mansion, Dongchang Mansion, Jinan Mansion, etc., began to sell, and for a time the Xujia ironware on the market in Shandong decreased rapidly!

It only took more than a month for the Xujia ironware on the market in Shandong to be out of stock in a large area, especially in Yanzhou Mansion, and even the phenomenon of Xujia ironware silencing relics appeared!

At the same time, Xu Zhaohui, the head of the Xu family, is also in full swing to organize a counterattack!

For a time, the entire Xu family was running rapidly: on the one hand, the Xu family's blacksmith shops everywhere began to produce at full strength, dumping far more than usual iron tools to all parts of Shandong; At the same time, Xu Zhaohui, the head of the family, also spent a lot of money to buy his own iron tools at high prices in various parts of Shandong to prevent the massive iron tools from falling into the hands of Liu Juntao.

At this time, Xu Zhaohui, the head of the Xu family, decided that the reason why Yushan Town bought the Xu family's ironware everywhere at any cost was to recycle this huge amount of ironware, and then melt it all down and temper it again!

So, Xu Zhaohui gave a death order to all his subordinates: "At any cost, we must fight with Yushan Town to the end!" ”

With the order of Xu Zhaohui, the head of the Xu family, the silver of the Xu family began to gush like a tide~ out, transporting batch after batch of their own ironware back to Xuzhou.

At the same time, people all over Shandong suddenly discovered that the ironware produced by the Xu family was so sought-after that they could be sold to the Xu family at a price much higher than the market price, so they raised the price one after another, making the Xu family spend a lot of unjust money!

In just over a month, Mr. Xu's account clerk complained and said to the head of the family, Xu Zhaohui: "The head of the family! In this month, our Xu family's income is only 20% of what it used to be, but the expenses are huge, more than ten times that of the past! If it continues like this, our Xu family will not be able to support it! ”

After listening to Mr. Bookkeeper's complaints, Xu Zhaohui, the head of the family, was also a little hesitant, not knowing whether it was right for him to act like this.

At this time, the silver in the Xu family's treasury was about to bottom out, and it was replaced by all kinds of ironware, which had already been piled up. At the same time, the blacksmith shops of the Xu family are still producing at full capacity, and all kinds of ironware are still being produced!

With just these two things, the wealth accumulated by the Xu family for more than ten years is about to be burned!

At this moment, Xu Zhaohui, the head of the family, suddenly received an urgent report: Yushan Town suddenly sold the massive amount of Xu family ironware that had been hoarded, and the price of the sale was only 10% of the normal price!

At this moment, Xu Zhaohui, the head of the Xu family, understood that Liu Juntao's strategy could be described as extremely ruthless!

It only took Liu Juntao a month to make the Xu family vomit blood, and all the wealth accumulated in more than ten years became worthless ironware, and the reputation of the Xu family's ironware for so many years was completely stinked overnight!

"Liu Juntao! I'm at odds with you! ”
