Chapter 306: Jingyang Speed
A new day has begun, and the people in Xi'an are busy again for their own livelihoods. Only the children are unrestrained, and because their families are poor and can't afford to go to private school, they still wander and play in groups on the streets.
This would have been a very ordinary scene, but today it was slightly different that each group of children was silently followed by a half-grown child, or a frail old man.
The children jumped to the door of a Yulin merchant gang's shop, and the people who followed them whispered, "This is it, start!" ”
Seeing that there were no men outside the door, the children sang loudly in unison: "The Yulin merchant gang is shameless, and the people are starving him to make money; Selling rice and insects is adulterated, whoever wants to find him will still fight; The Yulin merchant gang is really shameless, and the ruffians and hooligans stink like shit; It is not allowed for others to sell cheaply, smash stores and bully and dominate the market; The Yulin merchant gang is really hateful, and the big store bully customers with official protection; Don't look at the fun now, be careful to pull the list in the future! ”
The crisp children's voice spread far away on the street, and all the pedestrians stopped to listen, and from time to time someone echoed loudly: "Good singing!" That's the thing! ”
It turns out that this Yulin merchant gang really relies on its own power, whether it is the shopkeeper or the guys, they only greet the dignitaries with a smile, and the ordinary people are cross-eyebrowed, sneering, and have a very poor reputation among the people.
But because of the monopoly of many commodity markets in Xi'an, the Yulin merchant gang has always been fearless. And the common people have to swallow their anger and bear the eyes of the guys, and they have to pay a high price to buy defective products.
A while ago, due to the price war between several major merchant gangs, although the shops of the Yulin merchant gang also lowered the prices of many commodities, they hoarded goods and did not sell them in the name of shortage of goods, and were basically in a state of semi-closure.
But just yesterday, all the shops of the Shaanxi merchant gang suddenly stopped the price war, and all commodities except rice returned to normal prices.
Several major merchant gangs naturally moved when they heard the news. After urgent discussions, the Jinzhong Merchant Gang, the Yulin Merchant Gang and the Tiger Roar Merchant Gang unanimously made a decision to immediately open a store to sell goods today, but the price was lower than that of the Shaanxi Merchant Gang. This is also their strategy set in advance, as long as the Shaanxi merchants can't resist the price increase, they will immediately beat the price down until they drag the other party down.
Although this is a method of "killing a thousand people and harming eight hundred", as long as you are a businessman, you will feel pain; But when I thought of the Shaanxi Business Gang, I couldn't stand it, and the leaders of several major business gangs still couldn't help but get excited, thinking that this business war was finally going to be decided.
As for the Shaanxi merchant gang selling rice at the price of three taels and one stone these days, although Qiao Beiyue, Li Hu, Ma Laosi and others also felt inexplicable, after all, grain only accounted for a small part of all commodities in Xi'an. Moreover, in the early stage, they sold nine taels and one stone, and they had already made a huge profit, so they were not very panicked.
They all think that the price of these three taels and one stone is too low, and according to the current market, even if several major merchants and gangs jointly purchase, it is impossible to get such a low purchase price. Therefore, the Shaanxi merchant gang must be losing money and making money, and it will be difficult to continue in a few days. Therefore, they are still holding on to the price of rice, and they plan to continue to raise the price of rice to more than 10 taels after the Shaanxi merchants have no rice to sell.
But as soon as the store opened today, there was such a group of children outside. The guy in the shop was furious, and immediately jumped out of the door and scolded: "Where did you come from, what are you doing here!" Dare to talk nonsense again, see if the uncle doesn't tear your mouth! ”
When the children saw someone coming out, they scattered in a hurry. But let them make such a fuss, and the people who originally wanted to enter the store to buy goods also looked at the Yulin merchant gang, the more unpleasant they became, and turned around and brushed their sleeves away.
The shopkeeper waited for a long time and still didn't open, and couldn't help but feel anxious, and scolded the guys: "You lazy people, you can't do business!" If the customers don't come in, won't you go out and shout? ”
These guys were a little dumbfounded, they were used to being arrogant, and in the past, the goods were not sold, as long as they sat high in the store, customers would come to the door. Now let them put down their bodies and go out to solicit customers, they really can't pull this face.
But the shopkeeper knew the temper of the gang leader Ma Laosi, and he repeatedly explained last night that he must not be afraid of losing money and dump the goods fiercely, so that the Shaanxi merchant gang could not sell things; If it doesn't open for a day, it won't make Ma Laosi angry.
So he kicked the guys out of the store. These guys were helpless, so they had to shout without smiling: "Take a look, the goods of the Yulin Merchant Gang are cheaper than the Shaanxi Merchant Gang!" ”
But after shouting for a long time, there was not even a single one who came to ask for the price. Not only that, but the guys also found that some people obviously bought things in their own stores, but they had to go to the stores of the Shaanxi merchants to buy them!
The shopkeeper couldn't sit still, he walked out of the store and grabbed an old man passing by and said, "Hey, the things in our store are cheap and good, why do you go to buy the goods of the Shaanxi merchant gang instead?" ”
The old man glanced at him and said coldly, "You don't know yet!" Many ordinary people have made a note with the two major merchant gangs in Huanghai and Shaanxi, and as long as people's stores sell the same things at normal prices in previous years, they can't buy the things in your store, no matter how cheap they are! Once you violate the document, not only will they not give you the rice, but they will not sell it to you! ”
After a pause, the old man laughed again: "It's not practical to use this trick, just the reputation of your Yulin merchant gang, the wind is stinking for eight hundred miles." It's not something that we have to buy, so why should we come to you to buy it? ”
"What!" The shopkeeper was like five thunderbolts, and he ran to the gang leader Ma Laosi to report.
When Ma Laosi heard this, he immediately flew into a rage, and immediately went to see Qiao Beiyue and Li Hu.
The two of them were also taken aback when they heard it and said, "This Li Henian is so vicious!" No need to ask, those little children who sing nursery rhymes are also arranged by them! If it really happens to him, then your gang will not be able to gain a foothold in Xi'an! ”
"I'm a thief!" Ma Laosi's face had turned purple, "How can that old thing Li Henian have this ability, this must be the bad idea of that little bastard surnamed You!" ”
"Don't be impatient, it's useless for you to scold the roof here, let's hurry up and think about how to deal with it." Li Hu said quietly.
"Still want to fart!" Ma Laosi finally couldn't help but scold Qiao Beiyue and Li Hu, "I shouldn't have believed you two at the beginning, I had to fight hard with other Shaanxi merchants!" It's good now, both of you are fine, and I'm the only one here! I don't care, from now on, the Yulin Merchant Gang will withdraw from the price agreement, you can see it! ”
After saying that, Ma Lao Si brushed his sleeves and left. Li Hu and Qiao Beiyue glanced at each other and said, "This Ma Lao Si is really blind, and he can't do big things." However, in my opinion, the surname You acted ruthlessly, and Ma Laosi wanted to stop now, but it was too late! ”
At the same time, Zhu Youzhen also sneered while drinking tea with Li Henian: "These two tricks are actually typical unfair competition, and it stands to reason that we shouldn't use them." But they have been unruly first, I still say that to deal with hooligans, you have to use hooligan means! ”
