Chapter 136: Master Profiteer

Market competition seems difficult to others, but in the eyes of Qin Chuan, a traverser, it is a piece of cake. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Looking at the worried Pan Sichi, Zhou Shengji, Xu Xifang, and Ye Xilai, Qin Chuan couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Qin Chuan laughing, Zhou Shengzhi and Xu Xifang were fine, but Pan Sichi couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and Ye Xilai also blushed with some shame and whispered: "My lord, it's all our fault。。。。。。 ”

Seeing this, Qin Chuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lao Pan, Lao Ye, it's no wonder you. ”

"You must know that a businessman pursues profits, as it has been since ancient times, as long as he is a businessman, he must do everything possible to crush his competitors so that he can obtain the maximum profit, otherwise he is a half-hung businessman, and sooner or later he will lose money and go bankrupt."

"However, since there is competition, then we have to find a way to gain the upper hand."

The ancients called that if the other party has a word, they must call the other party's word, Qin Chuan did the same at the beginning, and even once he was very concerned about taking words for others. But after a long time, Qin Chuan not only had to remember the other party's name, but also the other party's words at all times, and a person was like two names, and gradually felt a little bored. Recently, in addition to Qin Chuan in front of Zhou Fu, Sheng Xuanhuai and others, he also has to be called so in some scenes, in Yantuan and his Aurora Group, almost all call each other's surnames, older than him add an old word in front, and a small word in front of the small one, which is much easier.

Under the influence of Qin Chuan, now the people in Yantuan and Aurora Group call each other, and they all call each other like this.

Although Qin Chuan didn't blame, Pan Sichi was still a little uneasy, and spread his hands with a wry smile.

"My lord, Lao Ye and I have also thought about how to gain the upper hand, so we have only lowered the price a few times, but it is 。。。。。。"

Pan Sichi sighed helplessly, reached out to take the cup, picked up the small oak barrel containing beer, filled himself with a glass of beer, and drank a full glass of beer with a "coo-dong" with a tilt of his neck.

For cigarettes, although Qin Chuan, a traverser, is very aware of the dangers of smoking, but before the appearance of his cigarette factory, although there were no cigarettes for sale in the Qing Dynasty, there were already many smokers, and since the Ming Dynasty, tobacco has been popular inside and outside the Guan, but there are no cigarettes, and smokers use the kind of cigarette pouch with a hollow long rod in front of it with a copper spoon containing tobacco leaves.

Qin Chuan remembered that he had read a document about tobacco before he crossed over, and the history contained: During the Chongzhen period, the cultivation of tobacco and smokers were very common. It is said that it has reached the point where "three-foot boys do not eat cigarettes" and "men, women and children have a pocket on their waists"; Even in Jingshi, it is also "Yingjie Street". So much so that Chongzhen of Qi even wanted to ban smoking.

The smoking of the Qing people was introduced to the Northeast by Korean merchants, and Huang Taiji once ordered a ban on smoking. It was not until the sixth year of Chongzhen that the Manchu Qing Dynasty opened a smoking ban. After the Qing people entered the customs, because most of the soldiers of the Eight Banners smoked, the habit of smoking spread more in various places. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, from the princes and ministers to the common people, there were many smokers. During the Qianlong period, Ji Xiaolan was a smoking addict when he was in college. Dong Chao of the Qing Dynasty said in "Donggao Miscellaneous Notes" that "it is used as a tool for hospitality in the court."

It's just that at that time, smoking was very different from smoking cigarettes, one was smoking bag pots or hookahs, and the other was snuff, which was mainly used by people with status.

Because smoking has been circulating among Chinese people for a long time, even if he Qin Chuan is not in the cigarette business now, there are still people to do it, and there will still be people who smoke it. What's more, Qin Chuan knows how much benefit this cigarette has.

In later generations, the top profits and taxes in China are none other than tobacco companies.

Looking at Pan Sichi and Ye Xilai's sad looks, Qin Chuan couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, and he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that Pan Sichi and Ye Xilai were becoming more and more embarrassed, Qin Chuanqiang restrained his laughter.

"Business competition can not only be a means of price reduction, but also reputation, feelings, relationships, service attitude, of course, these are the most basic, to achieve competition stronger than opponents, the most important, that is still some means."

"Come, I'll give you an idea."

Seeing that Qin Chuan said that he wanted to give them an idea, not only did Pan Sichi and Ye Xi come over to listen to Qin Chuan's idea, but Zhou Shengji, Xu Xifang, and even Jin Lisan, Li Mingfang, and Rong Rongyuan also pricked up their ears.

Seeing that everyone was like this, Qin Chuan became more and more popular, took a sip of beer, and tasted the taste in his mouth for a long time before saying slowly.

"You immediately find a few master craftsmen to carve the pattern of one hundred orders and eight generals of Liangshanbo, and then take it to our printing house to print it on the cigarette box."

Qin Chuan's "rancid" idea made Pan Sichi and Ye Xilai stunned, even Jin Lisan, Li Mingfang, Xu Xifang, and Rong Rongyuan also looked at Qin Chuan blankly.

After a while, Pan Si said in embarrassment: "My lord, how can there be more than a hundred characters printed on the cigarette box?" ”

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "It's not that you want to print all these hundred orders and eight generals on a cigarette box, but only one character is printed on a cigarette box." Whether it is Song Jiang or Li Kui, or what Zhiduoxing Wu Yong, let's put it this way, even if two of the eight generals in this hundred orders, such as Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing of the vegetable garden, Wang Ying, the bantam tiger Wang Ying and Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang, must be separated, no one can be special, and they all have to stay on one cigarette box. ”

Listening to what Qin Chuan said was interesting, Sister-in-law Wu, who came upstairs to add tea to everyone, couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Chuan didn't care either, and then said: "As long as someone collects the one hundred orders and eight generals on our Pure Yang brand cigarettes, that is, one hundred and eight cigarette boxes with different patterns, he can take this set of cigarette boxes to our seller in exchange for half a Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar." ”

As soon as Qin Chuan's voice fell, Li Mingfang had already clapped his hands heavily, and shouted with excitement: "Wonderful! ”

"Dongjia, I said earlier that you are the reincarnation of Tao Zhu, and this trick of doing business is really amazing for you!"

Pan Sichi and Xu Xifang were still a little ignorant, but when Li Mingfang was amazed, Jin Lisan, Ye Xilai, and Rong Rongyuan were also surprised.

Ye Xilai said excitedly: "My lord, I understand what you mean, so that those who smoke will buy our cigarettes specifically, and they can't stop, because he is in a hurry to exchange that half a silver dollar." ”

Ye Xilai slapped his hands heavily: "By the way, I don't think we should have half a piece, just one piece, so that there will be more smokers who have collected these hundred orders and eight generals." ”

Pan Sichi, who understood Qin Chuan's meaning, asked a little puzzled after thinking about it.

"It's just that although this method is novel, it is still sold at a reduced price, and if the old Jinlong Americans also reduce the price, I am afraid that this effect will be 。。。。。。."

While thinking about it, Pan Sichi also took the open box of Pure Yang brand cigarettes from Qin Chuan on the coffee table, took out one and lit it, took a puff and spit out a puff of green cigarettes, and said slowly.

"The adult's method has also inspired me, I don't think I should print any one hundred orders and eight generals, let's press ten boxes of cigarettes, there are fifty cigarettes in a box of cigarettes, and the total number of cigarettes in each box is five hundred boxes, and we will give the seller a certain amount of rebates according to this number. In this way, when the seller gets the money, he will naturally only enter our Chunyang brand cigarettes. ”

Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "It's not good, this method is easy for Americans to learn too." Besides, it's also cheaper for those sellers. ”

Seeing that Pan Sichi, a literati, was still a little confused, Jin Lisan couldn't help but smile and said.

"Manager Pan, in fact, you don't fully understand what adults mean."

Seeing Pan Si staring at him with wide eyes, Jin Lisan continued to explain with a smile.

"The cigarettes we sell, not every one hundred and eight boxes of cigarettes sold, there will be all one hundred and eight generals on the cigarette box, and even one thousand and eighty boxes will be sold, and at most there will only be five or six complete sets.

Ye Xilai sourly smiled and grabbed the conversation: "I said general manager, as long as we want, he will buy 10,000 and 800 boxes, and he may not be able to make up all the sets." Let's put it this way, as long as you don't want to pay for it, no matter how much others buy, he won't make up a set. ”

Pan Si asked Ye Xilai in confusion: "As long as he buys enough, how can this not be made up?" ”

Ye Xilai said with a smile: "I said big manager, as long as we are willing, he just can't make it up, for example, if we only print one hundred and seven generals, you say。。。。。。 ”

Ye Xilai's words suddenly made everyone laugh and leaned back and made a mess.

After laughing for a while, Qin Chuan lit a pure yang brand cigarette, took a puff and said: "One hundred and seven generals, this can only be joked, but it can't be taken seriously, but it is not necessarily that every box of cigarettes can make up a complete set, in my opinion, three or four complete sets of cigarettes in every thousand boxes are fine, if there are few, smokers will not see the sweetness, and they will be punctured in a few days." ”

Pan Sichi seemed to remember something, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.

"No, there's a big loophole in this method."

Hearing Pan Sichi say that this method has loopholes, and it is a big loophole, including Qin Chuan, everyone couldn't help but put away their smiles and looked at Pan Sichi in surprise.

Pan Sichi smiled bitterly and said: "You think, this seller buys goods from us, if he doesn't open the box, he will definitely not know which of the one hundred and eight generals of Liang Shanbo is in each box?" But when the hawker retails, it is sold box by box, and the person who buys cigarettes only needs to choose what he needs to buy, isn't that still every one hundred and eight boxes, and we have to return half a silver dollar? ”

Everyone present was a person who understood, Pan Sichi said this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and Qin Chuan's face turned slightly blue.

This method, but Qin Chuan accidentally saw a cross talk joke before crossing, it is said that it is still a boutique of the Spring Festival Gala in a certain year, it is the stand-up comedy said by the famous cross talk actor Ma Ji, Qin Chuan vaguely remembers that the stand-up comedy seems to be about a salesman selling what "Universe Brand" cigarettes.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart: "His grandmother's, this hearsay is really deadly, I didn't expect that celebrities like Ma Ji would also be unexpected, causing Lao Tzu to make a fool of himself here today." ”

Qin Chuan was gritting his teeth and cursing secretly in his heart, not wanting Ye Xilai to laugh "poof".

"It's easy to do. Then let's not print the hundred orders and eight will be printed on the cigarette box, but on the cardboard piece smaller than the cigarette box, and then we will put the cardboard in the cigarette box and seal it. In this way, when retailing, no one will pick and choose, and he will only know which evil star will appear in the cigarette box after opening it in his hand, which evil star will appear in the cigarette box of the thirty-six Tiangang seventy-two earth shas, and at that time, he will buy two hundred dominatriks, and then he will have to appoint. ”

"Good!"

Qin Chuan first clapped his hands and shouted, thinking secretly in his heart: "Grandma's, I used to look at the pig's feet who crossed at the starting point, all of them were extremely smart, as if the ancients around them were mentally handicapped, today is an eye-opener, even if you know more history, it is nothing, the ancients may not know what ozone layer is, but this thinking is definitely not worse than that of later generations."

The overjoyed Pan Sichi laughed and pointed at Ye Xilai, and shouted loudly: "Profiteer! Profiteer! ”

Ye Xilai grinned and said: "Where am I worthy of the title of profiteer, I have learned this from adults in the past six months." ”

Ye Xilai's words made everyone laugh again, and Jin Lisan pointed at Ye Xilai and smiled.

"You kid, this is clearly saying that you are a profiteer disciple, and the adult is a profiteer master."

Jin Lisan's words made everyone laugh again, and even Qin Chuan couldn't help it, and laughed with everyone.
