There is no water in the capital, in fact, Beiping is not like the south of the Yangtze River, the water is abundant, especially in the spring, the lack of water makes the spring of the capital not as delicate as the south of the Yangtze River, especially when the wind blows, the wind wrapped in sand and soil poured into the capital, the dust blocked the sun, and the sky and the earth were even darker. When I came, it was really Hu Chen, and the eight tables were faint together. In the neck, nostrils, and between the teeth, there is no sand and dust, this is the spring of the capital.

But fortunately, this day of dust and sand every year is only in the spring and winter when the wind blows, to if it is like this, that day has not been done, blowing a night of wind, when the two dogs push the door open, only to see the yard of the big locust tree that the tender leaves will be covered with soil, can not see a trace of green.

As in the past, after eating the large bowl of noodles from his daughter-in-law who was picked up outside the city a few years ago, the second dog smiled and greeted the neighbors, and his body was still covered with soot, and it was difficult to meet a few naughty wild children on the road, and he couldn't help but hear the children singing songs and laughing at him:

Coal blacks, plan to plate, your mother washes her feet I see!

In the face of the child's mockery, Ergou just smiled, at most he took off the short and thick dry tobacco pouch inserted in it from the cloth around his waist, and pretended to hit it.

Coal blacks are the lowest nine-rate work in the capital, and they have always been hard work, sifting and shaking, and drying and sifting. After a day's work, only the eyeballs are daytime, touching the owner with a good heart, will prepare two buckets of water, and can also wash, if it is an ordinary owner, at least let people bring some well water to wipe.

In the past, he was a coal blackman walking the streets and alleys, and after the winter defense, he could spare a small year, and he either went to carry coolies or entered the coal industry, this year and the same as in previous years, he entered the coal industry, but it was a newly opened "Huayang", as soon as it opened, it was impossible to rely on the honeycomb coal squeeze in the coal line in the capital.

"The current owner is not bad, not to mention preparing two buckets of hot water, there are still large pieces of fat in the lunch meal!"

Thinking so in his heart, Ergou's pace accelerated, and he could earn a few more pennies by going to a bag of cigarettes early.

"Twenty taels of coal machines, maybe when it comes to winter, you can put one down!"

If you put a briquette machine, when every household prepares for "winter defense" in winter, maybe you can earn dozens of taels of silver in a winter.

Thinking so in my heart, I heard a shout from the side of the street when I passed the street.

"Yo, Ergou, why are you in a hurry, is it reincarnated, or is it a funeral, and you are in such a hurry?"

Listening to the voice, it was Ding Si, a partner from Sun Ji Coal Company, and Ergou hurriedly smiled.

"I look like I'm running for a funeral!"

An unknown guy next to Ding Si chimed in.

"It's not a funeral, look at that face, I think I can live a good life if I pick up my daughter-in-law......"

Ding Si's unforgiving words were only exchanged for the laughter of the second dog.

"Ding, Fourth Master Ding, look at what you said......"

Seeing Ergou's naïve appearance, Ding Si pointed his hand at the price board hanging next to the door.

"Ergou, look at ......"

What?

Ergou looked at the price board, he couldn't read.

"I know that you are illiterate, open your dog's eyes wide, 11 pieces of text, authentic 18 eyes of honeycomb coal, go back and say to your host, close the door as soon as possible, there is no place for Huayang in this capital!"

What?

11 pieces of text? 18 eyes honeycomb coal!

When Ergou hurriedly ran to the number, he saw that the shopkeeper and the guy on the number seemed to be talking about something, and everyone's faces looked very nervous.

"Dog, this is not good, the coal industry in the whole capital is now 11 yuan, if we don't reduce the price, I'm afraid, this pass will not pass!"

"Dog thing, what nonsense!"

Someone on the side was suddenly unhappy,

"Didn't you see? This is clear, the industry has to deal with our owner! ”

"Boss, you have to think about it, this is clearly bullying us!"

Outside the Tongwen Pavilion, seeing that the proprietor didn't say a word, silently looking at the gray streets, and the pedestrians who avoided one after another, seemed to be thoughtful, but didn't seem to think about anything, Li Weixin was patient for a long time, and continued.

"11 Wen, the owner, if we also sell at this price, even if we don't lose money, it will be unprofitable?"

But Tang Haoran still didn't speak, which was expected by him, but the current price was not suitable, and it couldn't give them a fatal blow.

"Boss, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about ......"

Tang Haoran's eyelids twitched slightly, and he realized from his contemplation,

"It's spring now, last year's winter defense, every family has some coal left, and the price reduction is not in the way, so the price war is actually more than whose silver is ......."

The price war is more than who has more silver and a thick foundation, and who can last to the end.

"So,"

Glancing into the distance, Tang Haoran smiled at Li Weixin.

"There are only 5,000 pieces of coal on each ship today, and I will tell them ...... in the most eloquent manner."

As soon as his voice was slightly suppressed, Tang Haoran threw out the countermeasures he had prepared a long time ago.

"Boss, do you want to ...... This, this price is almost at a loss! ”

The owner's idea made Li Weixin's forehead sweat suddenly,

"Since they started, then don't blame us for not playing cards according to common sense, after all, we don't have much silver and can't hold up ...... But this matter is related to the survival of Huayang, and it can only be fought, besides, even if we admit to being soft, I am afraid that they may not be willing to give up. ”

"Boss, you're right. We admit that we are soft, and they are not willing to stop, we are afraid that if we continue like this, our foundation is not enough, and we will not be able to hold on. If you can't win quickly, you can ...... then."

"It's okay, as long as it lasts for ten days!"

Tang Haoran said with a smile.

"Also, from today onwards, we will buy coal, and we will buy it as in the past, but there is a chance that it will not be transported into the city, understand?"

"Hey!"

After Li Weixin left, Tang Haoran took a heavy breath, as if he had endless depression and sorrow in his heart, and sighed slowly.

"This business ...... It's hard! ”

"Sir, did they do it?"

In the garden pavilion in the backyard of the Tongwen Pavilion, Han Che looked at Tang Haoran who was deep in thought, and tried to ask. In the past, he didn't think there was anything about doing business, but now he has just participated in it, and he already feels that "the mall is like a battlefield...... Thinking about it in his heart, he said tentatively.

"Sir, haven't we been prepared for it a long time ago, and Sir, don't be so worried."

"Handa ......"

Raising his head and looking at Han Che, Tang Haoran frowned and said leisurely.

"This business pays attention to the bottom line, this time, we are pushing them to a dead end."

is also pushing yourself to the end of the road, if you are a little careless, I don't know how much chaos will happen!

"Even if it's a dead end, it's their own choice!"

Looking at Han Che, Tang Haoran nodded, although he forced them to go down that road little by little, but it was they who finally walked on that road.

"Actually, from the very beginning, we have planned a qiē, if ...... Hey, I can only blame them for not seeing the facts. ”

Tang Haoran said calmly.

"These people always think about the business of several generations, as if we have eaten their bowls, but they can't see clearly, even without us, there will still be other people in the future to do what we do today, in the final analysis, if they didn't give us a chance, how could we have the opportunity now......

Although Mr.'s answer was like a tongue twister, Han Che still understood it, in fact, from the beginning, he was also involved, and after Mr. came up with a method, he gave him advice on the side, so as to make the plan more perfect.

"Sir, will it be too fast for us to drop the price so low all at once?"

Thinking that the price was so low, Han Che suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he immediately felt uneasy. After pondering for a long time, Tang Haoran shook his head and said.

"It's not what it used to be, we thought they would lower the price a little bit, but I didn't expect that they would get stuck on our life as soon as they came up, 11 Wen, at this price, we only earn at most one penny for a piece of coal, we dare to sell 11 Wen today, tomorrow, they can sell 10 Wen, so sell it, the first thing that can't hold up is our ......"

There is no silver in his pocket, this is the reason why Tang Haoran decisively lowered the price, since he can't make money, the big guys are losing money.

"So sir, you have to drop to 9 Wen?"

"If you want to lose everything, but I have to see how many days they can lose, we only lose more than a hundred taels of silver a day, ten days, ten days later, I will see which of them can hold on."

With a cold smile, Tang Haoran looked at Han Che and said.

"This coal is different from other things, since they force us to be dominant, then let's go next."

Then he sighed again, as if he was forced to do so.

"I just don't know if they will regret their choice today after the wind and waves are calm!"

Han Che couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"What if they take the initiative to beg for mercy when the time comes?"

With a twinkle in his eyes, Tang Haoran nodded and said:

"It's not impossible," there was a slight pause in his voice, and Tang Haoran glanced into the distance.

"To be honest, when the time comes, if they admit to being soft, we really can't do anything about them."

Laughing self-deprecatingly, Tang Haoran continued.

"But although there is nothing we can do, as long as we control the coal source, almost 70% of the business in the capital will be won by us,"

After a slight pause, Tang Haoran let out a long sigh.

"As for the rest, it depends on the situation. Depending on the situation, I can't say anything now. ”
