Chapter 31 Gain a foothold in the world
All of them were four-horsed, iron-clad wagons.
Such a carriage is a thousand catties in one cart.
What are these carriages of Dadexiang going to do?
The familiar smell of food made Liu Jing, the shopkeeper of the rice shop wearing a thick leather jacket and holding a hot purple clay pot in his hand, feel an extremely dangerous breath, and his whole body was unconsciously a little chilly.
He quickly followed Da Dexiang's carriage.
What made him tremble even more was that he saw that Da Dexiang's carriage was distributing rice and grain in the city.
Looking at the scene of this carriage passing through the alleys, and the rice noodles on the carriage constantly scattered and digested in the houses in these alleys, Liu Jing's heart was full of unreality.
Holding back the shock in his heart, Liu Jing knocked on the door and entered one of the unclosed houses after the carriage passed through a street.
The hostess who came out of this house to collect grain was very familiar, and she should be an old customer who used to weigh grain in the rice flower workshop.
In the very small courtyard of this house, a small well is full of clothes, the hostess of this house should help people with laundry and subsidize the family on weekdays, just when Liu Jing just saw the scene in this low courtyard, the hostess who had just put rice grain happened to walk out of the back room, this simple woman with her hands soaked in a little purple saw at a glance that the knock door was not a normal neighbor, she was slightly stunned, some recognized it, and hesitated: "You are the shopkeeper of Daohuafang?"
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of it. Liu Jing bowed to the woman and said, "Down here is Liu Jing from the rice flower shop in the city, and it seems that he has seen it in the shop several times before... Today, I happened to see Dadexiang delivery, so I want to ask, why did your family switch to Dadexiang's rice noodles, is their price lower than ours, or is there another reason?"
Seeing Liu Jing so polite, the simple woman was a little inexplicably frightened for a while, a little at a loss, and didn't know how to explain: "It's not because of the low price..." ”
Liu Jing was anxious, but he still said patiently: "You don't have to be nervous, to be honest, I just want to inquire and learn some business methods from them." Nothing else. ”
The simple woman calmed down at this time, and said a little embarrassed: "The price of rice noodles in Dade Xiang and Daohuafang is the same, but first on credit, let us eat first, and wait until this time next month to come to the cashier, presumably the shopkeeper can also see that our family is not rich, this month's rice money is a little nervous, although this rice money always has to be paid, but you can always owe it for a month, and you can always solve some problems..."
"A month on credit?!"
Hearing this, Liu Jing's body shook, and he suddenly felt dizzy and the sky was about to fall.
"I owe it on credit for a month, how many taels of silver do I have to pay out first? What if I can't pay it back? How can this business continue to operate?"
Dizzy, he said in disbelief.
Seeing the shopkeeper who was over half a hundred years old suddenly crumbling, the simple woman was nervous, and she subconsciously wanted to reach out and help first, but when she heard this, her heart was faintly unhappy.
In this case, wouldn't there be some changes in her family?
Even if you move some of the rice money this month to do other things, you will still be paid next month, and you can use the next month's salary to pay for the rice money. Under his own thrifty housekeeping, how can there be a problem of not being able to pay off?
Even if something happens and you really can't help for a while, you can at least ask your neighbors to borrow some rice money first, and then try to pay it back... For a while, this simple woman even thought more, she had already planned, this month's rice money does not have to be paid, with this surplus money in hand, you can go to buy some cotton yarn first, the old quilt at home has been used for many years, how to dry it always feels a little hard and cold, it is to play again, there is extra money, you can buy a few more chickens, and after a few months, you can sell it for more money...
She thought far, felt that the pressure on her body was lighter, and there were more places to look forward to in the future, but Liu Jing reacted a little rude, saluted her goodbye, and when he walked out of this room, his whole body was even colder, and he trembled unconsciously. He had already thought that if all of Yun Qin's shops were doing this at this moment... When these people arrive next month, they can all afford it, so how can their seventeen joint venture shops snatch back these old customers from Dadexiang's hands?
How many of the old customers have become the customers of Dadexiang?
He was dripping with sweat, and looked up in the direction of Da Dexiang's carriage.
At this moment, the carriage was gone.
......
"Wonderful!"
"First on credit, eat the rice and noodles first, and wait until the next month, when the wages of these people arrive, this business method is so simple and practical... It's wonderful!"
"Two days ago, I was still worried that these seventeen firms would lower their prices, and Da Dexiang couldn't support it, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, the situation had been completely reversed, and this was really the most exciting battle in the business field of Yunqin for decades. ”
In the courtyard of Dasheng and Gaosheng's house, Sheng Manying was overjoyed, and he clapped his hands again and again and exclaimed: "Da Dexiang, the shopkeeper of Da Chen, is really very human!"
In the years ago, because of a series of huge actions like red-eyed gamblers, coupled with Dashenggao's silver injection, Da Dexiang has become the focus of all businessmen in Yunqin, and has become the talk of many businessmen around the New Year, and in the more than ten days after the opening of the New Year, Da Dexiang has carried out a tragic strangulation with 17 joint ventures led by Tianfeng Yuzhu Bank, which shook the entire Yunqin business community.
In this round of strangulation, the purpose of the seventeen associated firms is very clear, even if it is less profitable, as long as it catches all its customers, so that even if Dadexiang keeps up with the price, it will not be able to seize much of the market, and in the case of spreading out too much and needing to be maintained, it will not take long to be dragged down.
Such a move is extremely old and vicious in the eyes of all businessmen.
Because the weakness of Da Dexiang is that he expands too hard all at once, uses too much silver, and does not have enough silver in his hand, he cannot seize the market in the rice and noodle business, and if he does not make a profit with a large amount of silver, he will immediately collapse completely. But these 17 associates are usually steady, and there is enough silver to spend on it.
However, what all businessmen did not expect was that Da Dexiang would adopt the practice of first credit.
Although this method is simple, it completely breaks the rules of Yunqin's business field, and a commercial house that has never done rice and noodle business has done so. Moreover, when the seventeen associated firms reacted, they found that the results of Dadexiang's approach were extremely amazing, and at least thirty percent of the customers had already used Dadexiang's rice noodles.
Thirty percent of the customers of all seventeen shops, this is already an extremely terrifying number, and it has far exceeded the largest trading volume of Tianfeng Jade Beads among the previous seventeen big merchants!
Moreover, the seventeen associated firms have not yet curbed the expansion of Dadexiang, even if they want to learn this practice of Dadexiang immediately, it is too late!
Because in various towns, most of the families who are in distress have become the customers of Da Dexiang, and the rest of the wealthy households who do not care about the first month's rice money are not impressed by this method.
Starting from next month, because of the large shipments of Dadexiang, even if the price is pressed down, the profit is thin but more sales, and there can be a good income, and the seventeen associated firms have begun to have a large backlog of rice and grain, but there will be a lot of unfavorable sequelae.
No matter what the next seventeen associated firms have to deal with, at least so far, in this thrilling battle in the eyes of all Yunqin businessmen after the year, Dadexiang won with an absolute advantage.
Da Dexiang once again gambled on all his life like a red-eyed gambler, and so far, he has won again!
Although Sheng Manying, the owner of Da Shenggao, was very optimistic about Da Dexiang and threw out an amazing silver tael, he did not expect that the seventeen firms would also attach so much importance to it, and soon formed a joint venture, so the pressure on him was also very huge.
At this time, in the area from Yunqin Qixia Province to Heluo Province, all the businesses have almost learned that Da Dexiang has robbed the seventeen associated firms to become customers, and the result that they have gained a firm foothold has been a complete sensation, and all the business owners have been shocked and admired what kind of person Da Dexiang is at the helm, and it is so powerful.
At this time, because the news of the road in Zhongzhou was only known to Dashenggao first, because it was also difficult to be happy, so it was also the big shopkeeper Mu Zongli who came to report in person for the first time.
At this moment, facing the ecstatic Sheng Manying, Mu Zongli was also full of red light, and said: "Dadexiang Chen Da Shopkeeper has sent a message, thanking the owner for his support to Dadexiang, and specially informing the owner, don't worry, in the next month, Dadexiang will have follow-up means to ensure that even if the seventeen firms keep up, they will not be able to snatch those customers back from them."
"Don't worry, what's not to worry about!"
Sheng Manying suddenly laughed, "How can a character who can use such a means not think of a more powerful move." I heard that Zhang Da's shopkeeper of Feng Yuzhu Xing that day was also recognized as a genius, and he was extremely fat, and if he faced Chen Da's shopkeeper, he would probably lose a lot of catties of meat in the future. ”
......
"What kind of soup is this?"
Dafu Town, the small courtyard that was still quiet, in Lin Xi's room, Lin Xi looked at the thick soup in the white porcelain jar, couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Chen Feirong and asked.
This soup is very sticky and light, like white fungus soup that has been boiled all night, but the color is blue, and the pieces of things inside are fat and soft, looking like pieces of tender reed meat, but it is a little meaty, it seems to be the meat of something.
"This is Jasper Poria Cocos. ”
Chen Feirong looked at Lin Xi, smiled slightly, and said, "The color is a little weird, but it's been boiled for a long time, and it's good for your body." ”
Lin Xi nodded, stirred it with a silver spoon, and ate it, with a very sweet and soft feeling.
"Thank you. He couldn't help but whisper.
"Your Excellency... I already said when I came out of the dragon and snake border pass, everyone is yours. What else to do with such kind words. Chen Feirong said with a smile.
Lin Xi didn't blush this time, thinking about other things, and said softly in a somewhat distracted voice: "Da Dexiang has finally gained a firm foothold, we can finally have more money to spare, and we can buy more things that are great for cultivators regardless of the price." This New Year, I still can't go back, and I miss my friends and family even more... But some of them are a little faster than expected, and they are faster. ”
Hearing Lin Xi's babbling words, Chen Feirong's eyes also had many strange looks that she would not normally have, she turned her head to look out the window, nodded lightly, and said, "Yes... My lord, I've been busy outside, and I haven't said anything to you, Happy New Year. ”
Lin Xi paused, looked at her, and said seriously: "Happy New Year." ”
"Happy New Year. Chen Feirong smiled and said seriously, but her eyes were inexplicably red, and a series of tears fell from her white jade-like face.
*
(ps: Many of the methods used by Lin Xi are borrowed from the way of Wang Yongqing, the god of management.) If you are interested, you can find it complete by yourself, anyway, reality is always more yy than fiction. There are a lot of jokes in it, and the stories also come from the integration of some historical stories, I have seen more about some wild histories of the Ming Dynasty as for Wang Yongqing's life as the protagonist, the most speechless thing is that he first sold rice, and then made a rice factory, but the rice factory was forcibly closed by the Japanese. As a result, after Japan's defeat and surrender, Taiwan's economy was revitalized, and when he checked the banking system, he was already the richest in Taiwan, and he was only 38 years old that year. However, I have to admit that some of the very simple means in our current opinion, such as installment payment, and sending another month of rice with a full few months. When it was ahead of society, it was still a little too bullish. The most terrible thing is to be ahead of your time. Finally, for the sake of my third watch, I still chirped and said a lot of nonsense, so let's vote for more monthly passes or something. )
