The old shopkeeper made a final decision, and the rest of the people nodded one after another, and unanimously agreed and unanimously agreed to start selling unlimited amounts of coal from tomorrow. They hoarded coal in order to make a windfall, and finally survived until the price rose four times as much as it did at the beginning, although now it seems that there are wolves and tigers in front of them, but they should be decisive when they should be decisive.

Ye Lao's shopkeeper immediately analyzed: "Although Taisheng Coal Shop is lucky and has found a lot of coal from the north, it is still far from meeting the needs of the capital. And the coal in our hands is ten times that of Taisheng Coal Shop, which is the real mainstream of the coal market, and most of the people who can't buy coal in Taisheng Coal Shop still want to come to us. As long as all of us stick to our hearts and are not moved by external objects, we are not afraid of him interfering with the market! ”

Someone chimed in: "Our sixteen families should swear in front of the gods that we must maintain the price of four cents of silver, and if anyone violates the oath and lowers the price without authorization, the people and gods will abandon it!" ”

In fact, the sixteen families present were all worried, and when they heard this proposal, they all burst into flames: "Okay! ”

After the oath was completed, the old shopkeeper Ye felt that as the head of the meeting, it was necessary to say a few more words, so he warned: "Put the ugly words in front, among us here, whoever dares to break the covenant is the public enemy of the whole industry!" At that time, Hugh said that he would not be punished.

Also, the mall has its own rules of the mall, and the biggest rule is to make money! Then Li You wants to use officialdom to operate the shopping mall and kidnap the people with moral superiority, it is impossible! The plot is doomed to failure! After the dispersal, everyone knows that the coal kiln owners in Xishan are not allowed to send coal to Taisheng coal shops in the future, I see that he has sold this batch of coal, there is no way back, and there is nothing to sing empty-handed! ”

After another response. Then they scattered in twos and threes.

Such news can't be hidden, Li You didn't go home tonight, but stayed in the store and counted the number. In the past three days, according to the agreement, Yang Yuanwai transported a total of 200,000 catties of coal, plus the first batch of 80,000 catties, a total of 280,000 catties. Among them, 120,000 catties were sold, and there were still 160,000 catties left in the store, even if the snow temporarily blocked the road. It's enough to support two or three days.

One of the things that Li You was most worried about was that the store encountered snow when there was not enough stock, so he was completely relieved.

The next day, Li You got up early in the morning and was drinking porridge on the edge of the copper charcoal basin, when he suddenly saw the shopkeeper Gao hurriedly entered the house and reported to him: "Today, the major shops in the coal market suddenly opened their doors one after another. I went to inquire and learned that there was indeed movement! From today, those 16 will officially open for coal sales. The price is four cents per catty. ”

Li You drank the porridge unhurriedly. He laughed and said, "What's the matter, it's a matter of time, it's expected." ”

The shopkeeper Gao said worriedly, "I heard that last night they made an oath to keep the price of four cents of silver unchanged, and they are very determined. I understand that the owner is worried about the people and wants to work for the welfare of the people, but luck is hard to find. After all, we don't have millions of catties in our hands to decide the market, so as to shelter the world's poor people.

This time, even if it can't succeed in pushing down the coal price market. But the owner has done his best, and we are all looking at it. Just have a clear conscience. Don't be obsessed with the owner! It is difficult to make up for the sky with one hand, and manpower is sometimes exhausted! ”

Li Daguan was dumbfounded, the propaganda slogan was a rhetoric to the outside world, why were his own people brainwashed by mistake first? It seems that in the mind of the high treasurer, he has become the embodiment of a selfless sage?

He could only sigh that the immunity of ordinary people to propaganda indoctrination is not an order of magnitude worse than that of people in officialdom.

The worry of the high shopkeeper is not unreasonable, Qingtian Coal has won the hearts of the people, but the quantity is insufficient after all, and it cannot meet the needs of everyone. Other people's homes have opened up sales, even if the price is twice as expensive, and people are forced to buy it for their living needs. In this way, what is the point of the owner desperately suppressing the market? …,

What's more, the people are very practical, only shouting empty slogans without practical effect, and after a long time, it will not be taken seriously, and the prestige that has been brushed up in the past few days will be lost.

In addition to the political account, what is more worrying about the economic account is that if the Xishan coal kiln owners are coerced by their peers and do not come to deliver coal, it will be difficult for the store to continue in the future

However, he said that the shopkeeper was embarrassed by the ambition of the owner, so he asked: "What do you say today?" ”

In the past three days, the shopkeeper Gao was instructed by Li You to give a speech in front of the crowd outside the store once a day. Every speech was taught by Li You, so the shopkeeper had such a request.

Li You thought for a while and replied, "Today's main words, just sixteen words, and the rest you can say according to your feelings." ”

After the order was completed, Li You asked again: "Among the sixteen big coal shops, there are no relatively small ones that hoard the least coal?" ”

"The so-called big coal shop in the coal market, there is an unwritten line, and the average daily coal can be sold 10,000 catties after the whole year, which can be called big. This time, they hoarded Juqi, with an average of about 250,000 catties, and the smallest ones also had three or four, about 1230,000 catties. ”

Li You instructed: "The art of war, concentrate your forces, and attack one point is not as good as the rest." After all, the sixteen of them are not monolithic, and today they will focus on one or two smaller ones. ”

The shopkeeper Gao was puzzled: "How to attack?" "Is it the use of power to coerce others? But then it will break the rules, will cause the whole industry to be strong indignation and disgust, after all, now Taisheng coal shop is the enemy of the whole industry, it is not easy to give people the truth.

The weather was getting heavier and heavier, and the sun was rising faintly in the clouds. More than 10,000 people gathered around the Taisheng coal shop again, and the number of people increased again compared with yesterday.

Although other major coal shops in the coal market today have opened to sell coal, except for a few who don't care about money, most people still habitually go to Taisheng coal shops to grab this cheap "Qingtian coal". If you can't grab it, then think about something else.

The shopkeeper Gao appeared in front of people with a depressed face, "Today, you have all seen it, and all the other houses have started to sell coal, this should be a happy day, but the price of coal is still high, and people are not happy." Our owner has negotiated with the same industry, but to no avail, so we have no choice but to insist on low prices to benefit the people! ”

Immediately, the shopkeeper's voice suddenly raised an octave, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Buy Qingtian coal." Be clean and white! Buy black-hearted coal, help black-hearted people! ”

"Buy Qingtian Coal and be a clean white man! Buy black-hearted coal, help black-hearted people! The people felt the same way, and the crowd shouted angrily six or seven times before they stopped.

At this time, Ye Lao's shopkeeper and several other peers were hiding in the door of a store in the distance, and when he saw this scene, he laughed and said: "Taisheng Coal Shop is poor in donkey skills!" Even if public opinion is stirred to the point of boiling. The people also have to buy coal, and they don't have enough there, so they can only buy it from us, unless they can conjure up millions of catties of coal in an instant! Public opinion may be available in officialdom where a fig leaf is needed, but it is completely useless in a business war that only talks about silver. ”

Sure enough, after the 60,000 catties of low-priced coal released by Taisheng Coal Shop were sold out that day, the crowd spread out in circles in the coal market. Some are still waiting. Some of the impatient people have already poured into other coal shops to buy the high-priced coal for a quarter of a pound.

In addition to Taisheng coal shop. Sixteen large coal shops that can only open in the coal market have opened one after another. More or less sell some coal. Seeing that the hoarded coal began to be sold at a high price, the shopkeepers who had been tense for ten days couldn't help but celebrate for a good start.

You must know that the hoarders who are hated by the people are also taking huge risks and putting in a lot of silver, and these profiteers may not be able to sleep peacefully at night in the past ten or so days. So at this moment, they saw with their own eyes that coal began to be sold at the price of four cents of silver, and it was inevitable that there would be some gaffes after relaxation. …,

The same is true of the Tian shopkeeper of Yuanfeng Coal Shop, who has just done his first business today. sold a hundred catties of coal, and entered the account for four taels.

There are not many of them. But it's a good sign, or rather. He was willing to take this as a good omen, and there were still 118,600 catties of coal in the store waiting to be sold.

However, the truth is not as good as imagined, and the second order has not yet arrived, let alone business, and there is not even a customer who enters the door. The shopkeeper Tian was strange in his heart, and sent his men out to see the situation.

Not long after, the fellow hurried in and shouted, "The great treasurer! Someone outside intercepted our guests! ”

Shopkeeper Tian was shocked, and then went out angrily with a few guys. Sure enough, I saw from a distance that there were guys from individual shops at the intersection who were pointing fingers and foaming at the intersection and talking to a few customers. After walking a few steps closer, Shopkeeper Tian gradually heard something.

"Haven't you heard of buying Qingtian coal, being a clean white man, buying black-hearted coal, and helping black-hearted people!"

"That's right! I know that you are all pure whites, and I was really forced to come to this Yuanfeng coal shop to buy four cents of silver and a pound of black-hearted coal! ”

"It's just that our Qingtian owner has limited financial resources, so we can only release tens of thousands of catties of Qingtian coal every day, otherwise our whole shop will have to drink the northwest wind."

"So I need you good people to help! Our owner said that if everyone gives a little kindness, this world will be full of warmth! ”

"Actually, we still have coal in our Taisheng coal shop! Anyway, you also spend money to buy high-priced coal here, so you might as well use the same price to buy good coal at our Taisheng coal shop! ”

"If you buy coal here, it will be cheaper for black-hearted merchants, and go to Taisheng Coal Shop to buy good-hearted coal, so that after our owner makes money, we will have more financial resources to release Qingtian coal!"

"It's all the same with money, so why not do something good? People are doing it, the sky is watching, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds is never a bad thing, and the Bodhisattva will bless you! ”

"Thank you for cheering! I'll give you a coal ticket, you can go to our Taisheng coal shop with the ticket to buy good coal, and tomorrow you can buy 20 catties of Qingtian coal with the ticket as a thank you! ”

I see! Robbing customers to the door of the store is simply too deceitful, and if this continues, Yuanfeng Coal Shop can't even sell a pound of coal! The shopkeeper Tian was furious, and was about to instruct the guys to beat up this Taisheng coal shop guy who broke the rules! But he suddenly saw four officers and soldiers standing on the side of the street, each holding the hilt of his sword.

"What about the big shopkeeper?" The guy asked with a wince.

Shopkeeper Tian wanted to go to Taisheng Coal Shop again to reason, but after thinking about it, Li You was not a reasonable person at all. He anxiously turned around a few times in the same place, and suddenly shouted to the guests: "From this time on, the coal in our store will be three points and one catty!" ”

The guest who was moving to buy benevolent coal suddenly heard that the price of coal here had dropped to three catties, so he no longer listened to the guys of Taisheng Coal Shop, and rushed to the shopkeeper Tian and shouted: "I want 200 catties!" ”

Uncle Han Zong, who was pretending to be a buddy, shook his head, sighed, "Master is wise and powerful", and headed towards the next target.

Who said that public opinion in the mall is useless? Li You sneered when he learned that there was a price reduction. (To be continued)
