Chapter 1797: Small setbacks
"Qin Guogong regretted it again"
"Of course not regretting it. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā I want to talk to Mr. Deng alone, I don't know if you can make it convenient. ”
Deng Qibin waved his hand again and again, and said: "I've told you everything I should say, and I don't think that we still have anything to talk about." In the words of your Datang, from now on, we will be gracious and righteous."
Guo Ye said sincerely: "I really can't give Guo someone a chance, no matter what benefits the Li family master gives you, I am willing to pay three times the price to invite you back." ”
"It's not just about money." Deng Yangren shrugged his shoulders and said, "Compared with you, I believe in the credibility of the Li family master more. Qin Guogong, I'm sorry."
Deng Qibin was iron-hearted after eating the scales, and Guo Ye couldn't do anything. I could only watch him and Li Quan and the others walk away.
As soon as they stirred it up, no one came to order flat glass anymore.
Li Quan's voice just now was not small, everyone knew that the production cost of the five major scholars was much lower than Guo Ye's, and the price of flat glass would definitely be reduced at that time. At this time, you still make a deposit to buy, isn't that a fool
As a result, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the headquarters of Changle Fang Daqian Zhuang resumed normal business.
It was only at this time that Liang Shuyu asked the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and said, "Qin Guogong, the production cost of the five major scholars is half lower than ours. It is beneficial for both parties to reach an agreement with them, why did you refuse"
"Didn't I just make it all clear?"
Liang Shuyu said: "Don't pretend, if none of them are qualified to cooperate with you, then no one in the world is qualified, this is completely prevarication." I'm also a shareholder of the Glass Workshop, so you have to tell me the truth. ”
Guo Yedao: "The matter is very simple, because this is the delaying tactic of the five major warrior clans, don't forget, in just a few months, we have cheated them inside and outside for more than 20 million yuan." The Five Great Warriors have never been known for their wealth, you know what that means."
"You mean they're out of money"
"The power of the Five Great Warrior Clans is huge, and it is impossible to say that there is no money at all. But now, they must be stretched thin and can't move away. In a price war with us, we have suffered heavy losses, but they themselves can't stand it. ”
Liang Ershao's eyes lit up and said, "I understand." If we were an elephant, now they are just a dog. Even if we bleed twice as much blood as theirs, it must be them who can't support it first."
"That's the truth. The most important thing for Li Quan now is time, he wants to use the business of flat glass to raise himself from a soil dog to a big fat pig. But I didn't give him this opportunity to take advantage of his illness and ask for his life."
After a pause, he continued: "Of course, if we do this, our glass workshop will suffer heavy losses, and the two brothers will also suffer unjustly. In this way, all the losses of the glass workshop in the future will be counted on my head alone. ”
"No," Chai Lingwen and Liang Shuyu said in unison.
"Why not, the business of perfume and soap is very good now, and it is making money every day. As long as a part of the profit is used, it can completely make up for the deficit of the glass workshop. ”
"It's your business that you have money, but the glass workshop is a business for the three of us, how can you lose money one by one?"
Guo Ye said: "You guys still don't fight with me." Strictly speaking, my grievances with the Five Great Scholars have nothing to do with you."
To put it mildly, it took Guo Ye a lot of effort to get Chai Liang and the others to agree to his idea.
The reason why he did this was not because of his wealth, of course, but because he knew that the relationship between friends was to be maintained.
If you keep making money, it's easy to say, a temporary loss, I believe these two friends can also accept it.
However, the business war with the five great scholars is uncertain how much money will be lost, and how long it will take. Pulling good friends to lose money together, after a long time, no matter how good the friendship is, there will be cracks.
This can be regarded as a lesson that he learned from Deng Qibin's betrayal.
A month later, the flat glass workshop of the five major scholars also opened, and their price card was very accurate, which was directly half of the quotation of Changle Fang Daqian Village.
This is close to Guo Ye's cost line
But Guo Ye did not show weakness, and immediately adjusted the price to one-fifth of the original price, and the five major scholars could only follow up.
This price has been maintained for half a year
In fact, such a price is already very low, and installing a glass window is only 200 yuan, which most families can afford.
And this is different from glass bowls, whether rich or poor, people have a mouth, and they don't need many glass bowls.
But as for glass windows, ordinary families have limited financial resources and can only install one or two. The wealthy merchants and aristocrats were eager to install glass windows everywhere if conditions permitted.
Without him, the advantages of glass windows are too great compared with screen windows and paper windows.
All of a sudden, how many glass windows there are in the home has become a measure of a person's net worth.
In this situation, whether it is the glass workshop of the five major scholars or the big money village of Changle Fang, it is both prosperous in production and sales. Guo Ye was very satisfied with this situation, and his only regret was losing money
How much does flat glass sell, and the figure he loses is more than twice that number
In just half a year, Guo Ye lost nearly 10 million yuan, and if it weren't for the profit support of the perfume and soap workshop, he really couldn't hold on
However, Qin Guogong, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, felt a lot of pressure, so how did the five great warrior clans survive
Even if you don't talk about the cost of building a flat glass workshop. Just selling flat glass, they now have to lose close to two million yuan.
How does it seem that the five major scholars still have spare strength, Guo Ye is puzzled. He secretly wondered in his heart that there was something wrong with him
At this moment, the undercover Qian Dakai he sent to Wude Qian Zhuang sent him a message to answer his doubts.
It turned out that Deng Qibin didn't tell the truth at all.
The new technology he invented, not halved the cost of flat glass, but reduced it by three-quarters.
In fact, in the past six months, the five great warrior clans have not only not lost a penny, but on the contrary, they have made a lot of money
Not only that, Qian Dakai also told Guo Ye that the five major scholars used the money they earned to build several new glass workshops. It is believed that it will not be long before the output of the five major scholars can quadruple
Hearing the news, Guo Ye couldn't wait to smoke his two big mouths, how stupid he was in the first place, and actually believed what came out of the betrayer's mouth
If you accidentally lose all the games
Now that the five great warrior clans have recovered a lot of vitality, if they want to suppress it again, it will be too difficult, what can be done
One person counts short, two people count long. Guo Ye brought Chai Lingwen and Liang Ershao over to discuss countermeasures together.
After listening to this, Chai Lingwen took a deep breath and said, "I can't think of a countermeasure, but there is something I have to remind you." This is just the beginning, and more difficult things are yet to come."
"What do you say?"
"Don't forget, Deng Qibin is a genius who studies glass. If he had reduced the cost of flat glass so much half a year ago, what would be the real cost of the Five Great Scholars now?"
Thinking of this problem, Guo Ye is really a big one. With Deng Qibin in hand, the five major clans are almost invincible.
He said: "Then what should we do, do we just admit defeat?"
Liang Shuyu smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it can only be like this." It turns out that we are bullying the five major scholar clans with insufficient funds. But now they have recovered. The production cost is much lower than ours, and if the conflict continues, I'm afraid that we will not be able to support it first. ”
Guo Ye shook his head again and again, and said: "No, I will never admit defeat, there must be a way, let's think about it again." ”
Chai Lingwen smiled bitterly: "Obviously, there are only two ways to solve the current dilemma. The first way is to find another figure like Deng Qibin and reduce the cost of the flat glass workshop."
Guo Ye shook his head again and again, and said: "This method still uses what you said you could find, why should I still worry about this, you should talk about the second method." ”
"The second option is to continue to reduce prices, but in that case, the perfume and soap business alone will not be able to maintain the balance of payments. Unless you find another business that makes a lot of money. ”
Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "This method is not reliable. I have already told Deng Yangren all the basic knowledge I know. What he can't research, I'm even more like."
Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "It seems that there really is such a business."
