Chapter 597: Price War
"Who are you? Dare to sell grain, do you know who Li Fuji is? Seeing Luo Zhong actually selling grain in front of Li Fuji, the shopkeeper was angry and surprised. I was angry that someone actually demolished Li Xiang's platform, and I was surprised that these people got their food from, and I didn't hear that there was such a large amount of grain entering the city in Youzhou recently.
"Who is Lee Fu Chi for? I really don't know. Knowing that Li Fuji's people would come over to make things difficult, Luo Zhong looked at him with a smile. Seeing that the comer was not good, dozens of Mingyue Hall mercury team members around him quietly surrounded him.
"Who's?" The fat shopkeeper snorted coldly, "Li Xiang's industry!" I don't care where you come from, get out of here! After speaking, he stared at Luo Zhong with an arrogant face, and he confidently reported Li Xiang's name, Luo Zhong would definitely be scared.
As a result, he was destined to be disappointed, and Luo Zhong's face did not change at all, "What if we don't leave?" ”
"Do you know what you're talking about?" The shopkeeper didn't expect Luo Zhong to be not afraid at all, and stared at Luo Zhong in disbelief, "What a boldness!" Come on, call me! ”
The hundreds of slaves and scoundrels behind him were ordered to rush towards Luo Zhong in a swarm.
Luo Zhong slowly stepped back, his face full of smugness that he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, and the dozens of Mingyue Hall mercury team members passed him silently and rushed towards those people. There are a lot of them, but who are the opponents of the well-trained mercury players? In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were knocked down. This is also the result of the mercury team members deliberately leaving their hands in order to hide their identities.
"The Li family sincerely doesn't want us to live, they don't sell food, and they don't let others sell our food, it's just too deceitful! Old and young masters, follow me, beat them away, and rob the fuck! As soon as the fight broke out here, a strong man in the crowd pointed at those people of the Li family and shouted.
There are many warriors in the land of Yan Zhao, and the people of Yan have always been martial, and the anger of the past few days was aroused again. At that moment, dozens of strong men didn't care about buying food, so they picked up the flat poles, hemp ropes and other messy things and rushed up, and immediately beat those people from the Li family to the ground.
Seeing this situation, the people were even more excited, and everyone chased after them and beat the water dogs, if it weren't for the fast movements of the guys in Li Fuji, they would have rushed in.
Now that he has made a move, Qin Forget has naturally made sufficient preparations. All the 100,000 stone grain quietly transported into Youzhou was pushed to the market, and the location of the grain was all selected at the door of all the grain stores of the Li family, and Li Cheng'an was sincerely given eye medicine. Of course, the effect is also very good, these people in Youzhou have long been extremely dissatisfied with the Li family, and now suddenly there is such a large-scale low-cost grain pouring into the market, and they all no longer care about the Li family's grain store.
With such a big move, Qin Forget knew that he couldn't hide it from Li Chengan, but he still wanted to delay the time that Li Chengan knew as much as possible. Dozens of grain trucks all use fake names, what Tongzhou Han family, Qingzhou Kong family, Qi Guo Dai family...... Qin Forget didn't know whether these families existed, he only knew that they were all Luo Zhongqi.
"Someone sells grain in front of our grain store?" As soon as he heard the news, Li Chengan was ten thousand unconvinced, "Yu'er, are you mistaken?" For decades, all the grain in Youzhou is in our hands, how can anyone have grain to sell? ”
"Father, it's true, the child has personally gone to see it, there are people selling grain at the door of every grain store, all of them are good grain, our previous price! Listening to their self-destructive names, there are them everywhere, but the children think they are all fake names. Li Yu said affirmatively.
"Impossible, it is impossible for anyone in Youzhou to have more than 30,000 catties of grain, even if Wenman is full!" Li Chengan said with certainty, "Guocang! It must be the national warehouse, I didn't expect His Majesty to use the national warehouse in order to suppress our Li family, it really spared no effort! ”
"Father, it's definitely not a national warehouse!" Li Yu shook his head, "The more than 300,000 stone grain children in the national warehouse have been sending people to keep an eye on it.
No food was shipped out during this time. And not only grain, but also oil, cloth and other groceries were also on the market in large quantities, and the cloth village of the Wen family was also greatly impacted. ”
"Really?" Li Chengan exclaimed.
"Seriously." Li Yu nodded heavily.
Li Chengan couldn't help but ponder, and he began to wonder who in the entire Dayan had this ability. Being able to sell a large amount of grain, cloth, oil, salt, and other vital goods related to people's livelihood at the same time, he really can't think of anyone who has the ability to sing, but he vaguely feels that this matter must have something to do with Qin Wang.
"Yu'er, you send someone out to investigate, whether this matter was done by Qin Wang." He commanded in a low voice.
Qin Wang's Zhuangwu General's Mansion, Li Chun, president of the Chicheng Yanguo Chamber of Commerce, led dozens of businessmen to crowd Qin Wang's secret hall.
"General, in just one day, we sold more than 300,000 stone of all kinds of goods, and each of us earned 70,000 or 80,000 taels, all thanks to the general. A glass to the general! Li Chun happily raised the wine glass in his hand and saluted Qin Wangdao.
"To the general!" With him taking the lead, dozens of businessmen raised their wine glasses in their hands, looking at Qin Wang's eyes full of respect.
Qin Forget smiled slightly, took a sip of the wine in the cup, "It stands to reason that I still want to thank you all a lot, you should know that this incident is more because of political factors, and I fought with Li Chengan to involve you, you can help me like this, I thank you here." ”
"Where did the general say, you took us to make a fortune, and it was too late for the subordinates to be grateful, how could the general still thank us!" Li Chun said modestly.
"Hehe, everyone is a smart person, don't just look at making money, with the deepening of the fight with the Li family and the family, they will inevitably adopt the strategy of price reduction, in order to completely defeat them, we also have to reduce the price, and then everyone is very likely to not make money, and it is very likely to lose." After speaking, Qin Forget looked at the reactions of the merchants with burning eyes.
To his satisfaction, there was nothing unusual on the faces of these merchants, and it was obvious that they had been mentally prepared for a long time.
"Don't worry, general, I'll understand." Li Chun said truthfully, "I have been waiting for the general to be attached for a few years, and we have made a lot of money because of the general in the past few years." Now that the general is in need, it is naturally incumbent upon us to wait for him. What's more, if we can completely defeat the commercial forces of those families this time, then Dayan will be ours, and with such a big benefit, we will naturally have to fight. ”
"Well, it's best if you think so." Seeing these merchants so united, Qin Forget was very happy in his heart, "How are our goods prepared?" ”
"Don't worry, general, it's very sufficient." Li Chun said confidently, "The Akagi Chamber of Commerce has already issued an order, and now the entire Chamber of Commerce, more than two hundred businessmen of all sizes, have taken action together, and have raised nearly three million stones of various goods. Not only Youzhou, but also the Dayan Prefectures, as long as there are places where the family is involved in business, enough goods have been transported, and they will be squeezed to death immediately after the general's order. ”
Qin Forget was not wrong at all, three days later, Li Chengan and Wen Man finally investigated all this clearly and found out that Qin Forget was manipulating all this behind the scenes, and seeing him aggressively attacking their business, they naturally refused to sit idly by, and immediately ordered all the stores under their command to immediately reduce the price.
In just a few days, to the surprise of all the people of Youzhou, things have taken a great turn.
The local shops in Youzhou led by the Li family and the Wen family suddenly reduced prices on a large scale, taking grain as an example, the price of one stone of grain was reduced to nine cents of silver, and Li Chengan vowed to fight this price war with Qin Wang.
At the door of Li Fuji, the fat shopkeeper greeted the people of Youzhou with a smile on his face, and his attitude was like two people a few days ago.
"Hey! Little brother, come, look at the grain that just came, a stone only costs nine cents of silver, like this
Food, such a price, how cost-effective, right? He grabbed a young man and tried to sell the food beside him.
His grain is not bad, it should be last year's old grain, and it is well preserved. However, compared with the grain that Qin Forget had just transported from the Chu State, the grade was more than one grade worse.
Sure enough, the young man glanced at the fat shopkeeper in disgust, "Nine cents of silver? Now know the price cut? Why didn't you do this when you wanted to drive us to death the other day? Leave your grain in the warehouse and rot, the master doesn't look down on your bad grain, the food of the Han family is much better than yours, and it is also nine cents of silver. With that, the young man walked over without looking back.
The attitude of this young man is also the attitude of all the people in Youzhou, because some time ago, Li Chengan and Wenman offended the people of Youzhou, and now they want to reduce the price to win back customers, which is extremely difficult. Especially Qin Wang's goods are better, and the price is the same as theirs. The people of Youzhou began to realize that these families had made so much money on them before, and the prices in Youzhou had been high, and it turned out that it was because of these people. Bigger anger gradually formed in their hearts, and they formed a sense of hatred and hatred with Qin Wang's merchants. For two whole days, almost no one went to these Maison's stores to buy anything.
"Hurry up and report to the head of the house, and say that they are on the same page as us." Hearing the young man say this, the fat shopkeeper hurriedly instructed the young man.
"What? At the same price, the goods are better than ours? Receiving the news reported by all the shops, Li Chengan's face sank like water, "Qin Forget that this is going to fight us to the end, but I want to see how much strength he has, notify him, continue to reduce the price, and then reduce it by one percent!" Tell the shopkeeper of the grain store that they have the right to reduce the price, and the bottom line is 50%. ”
Li Fuji immediately played a signboard, one stone of grain and eight cents of silver. All the guys in the grain store also came out and shouted loudly to attract customers.
This trick is quite useful, and when the actual people of Youzhou saw this situation, many people were eager to try it and planned to go to Li Fuji to buy food.
Seeing such a situation, Luo Zhong smiled coldly, and also ordered the price to be reduced, one stone of grain and eight cents of silver. Immediately it attracted those ordinary people back.
"Seven points, just seven points!" When the fat shopkeeper saw Luo Zhong, he immediately shouted at him, gritted his teeth, and shouted.
Hundreds of people hula-la
"Seven points, seven points here!" Luo Zhong also hurriedly lowered the price.
The common people ran back again.
"Six!" The fat shopkeeper had red eyes, and he wanted to eat him raw when he looked at Luo Zhong's eyes.
"That's six points!" Luo Zhong also lowered the price in a timely manner.
"Coax!" The people of Youzhou exploded all of a sudden, the grain in Youzhou has never been so cheap, six cents of silver and one stone of rice, this price is simply crazy. However, they were not in a hurry, and they all looked at Li Fuji's side with eager eyes to see if they could reduce the price.
"Five points!" Sure enough, he didn't disappoint them, and the fat shopkeeper shouted again, he felt that his heart was dripping blood. If he really falls to the bottom, even if he grabs back the market, he will not be able to do well.
"Five points!" Luo Zhong also became dignified, at this price, the merchants under Qin Wang's command would hardly have anything to earn. But thinking about Qin Wang's explanation, he still gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Buy, buy!" All the common people rushed to Luo Zhong's grain cart with the silver, and they wanted to buy grain like crazy. Although the price on both sides was the same, Luo Zhong's food was better, and the people had a better impression of him, so they all ran to his side.
Seeing this situation, the fat shopkeeper's face was full of difficulty, and it had been reduced to five cents of silver, which was the limit of his duty, but he couldn't beat Luo Zhong and them, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Go and report to the head of the family and let the head of the house decide." He gritted his teeth and told a young man.
