Chapter Seventy-Six: The Turmoil in Fengming Town
Just as Lin Yufan was practicing the selected metal exercises, there were also a lot of turmoil in Fengming Town.
In Fengming Town, two farmers living next to each other went to check the loss of their own rice as soon as the locust plague ended.
Moments later, they met on their way to their home, both with joy on their faces.
"Lao Li, fortunately, I've been buying their Luo Yan rice from Roche.
A few days ago, I went to their trading house, and when they told me that there was a locust plague, I was still skeptical, but fortunately, they took care of their old customers and sold insect repellent powder at half price.
Yesterday, the town guard suddenly began to tell everyone that there was a locust plague in Fengming Town soon, and it was best to go out when it was not good, I felt that this Luo clan was really like a god.
I heard that Liu Laosan queued for a day yesterday and only received a pack of deworming powder, what is the use of this?
Luckily, I prepared in advance.
The yield of this Luo tobacco rice was originally excellent, but after the use of insect repellent dispersion, such a serious locust plague, the rice on my farmland was only lost by less than 30%.
I heard that some time ago, you were greedy for cheap, and spent less money to buy their Hexi rice from the Lin firm, I heard from the people of the Luo firm, the quality of the rice is extremely poor, and the so-called reputation is all fake, I really hope you don't lose too much.
Look at the way you smile, did you queue up to receive a sufficient amount of deworming powder yesterday, or did the loss of your rice be much lower than you expected? The tall and lanky farmer said to the other stocky farmer, with a hint of joy and a hint of ostentation.
"Lao Gao, what you said is half right.
I went to the queue yesterday to get the deworming powder, the line was too long, and before I could get it, the night was already dark, and I didn't even get a pack.
However, after the locust plague, I only lost 20% of the loss of rice, you must know that I have not done any protective measures!
Lao Gao, I'm not greedy for cheap, I bought good seeds with good quality and price but not so expensive, I have eaten the rice produced by Lin's rice, and the rumors that spread before are all out of nowhere.
I originally thought that Lin's rice tasted good and had a high yield, but now it seems that the resistance is much stronger than that of Naluo tobacco rice, you see, this time I not only saved you the money for purchasing insect repellent powder, but the loss is not as high as yours! ”
The short and fat farmer was red, and there was a hint of disbelief in his tone, more of an inexplicable pride.
This made the tall and thin farmer stunned for a moment.
He showed off for a long time, but it was a joke.
He didn't believe the facts, so he pulled the short and fat farmer back to the edge of the farmland, intending to find out the truth.
As a result, the truth slapped him in the face.
Things like this are happening in many places in Fengming Town.
When Roche Commercial Bank sold insect repellent powder at a low price a few days ago, it had already spread some rumors slandering Lin's Commercial Bank to many customers.
Their original expectation was that the Lin family's rice seeds could not withstand this locust plague, so they could confirm the rumors they had spread before - the Lin family firm was cheating.
And they received the news in advance, but they will use the locust plague to strengthen the position of their trading houses.
The recent rise of the Lin firm has indeed given the person in charge of the Luo firm a headache.
Their ancestors broke through to the Jindan period, and there was a lot of expenses, and they should have taken advantage of this period of fame to make more profits.
As a result, the sales of crops, especially rice seeds, were directly reduced by several percent.
It's just that what Luo didn't expect was that they originally thought that this locust plague was God's desire to hit the Lin firm.
However, it has made their reputation reach its peak.
At this time, Luo Shengen, the person in charge of Luo's firm, was a little panicked.
In the past few months since the rise of the Lin Clan's trading house, the Council of Elders within their family has discussed the method of directly suppressing it by force.
The Puquan Lin clan is just a small family in a small place, at most there are only monks in the foundation building realm, and if they directly let the ancestor secretly solve their leader, the business house will definitely not be able to open.
But Luo Shengen felt that before his family developed, there was a lot of history of suppressing the family by force, and it had been criticized by the Ouyang family.
In the past few years, Roche's reputation has been slightly better, and there is no need to use the old routine.
Luo Shengen assured the family elders that he could use some methods without using force to suppress the Lin Clan's firm.
He was very confident at first, but the situation in the past few months has not been as he expected.
At the beginning, Roche did have the upper hand, and the fake news he spread was basically quickly accepted by most people.
However, Lin suddenly lowered the price of seeds, and he was not impressed.
It was only a little more than a month later, and he gradually discovered that his business house had not as many customers as before.
At this time, he found that the reputation of the Lin firm was getting better and better among the farmers who bought their rice seeds, and they also recommended the products of the Lin firm to many people.
He also had to lower the prices of most of his firm's crops, and pay some civilians to increase the word that Lin's goods were of poor quality.
Again, in the beginning, this strategy had some effect.
It's just that the Lin family soon launched a "buy two get one free" activity.
The number of customers who went to buy goods increased again, and not only that, but also rave reviews, and the new methods he came up with gradually became ineffective.
has been tugging like this for more than two months, and he has been spending money to spread false news, but the Lin family can always come up with some novel activities to break his game.
This time, it was not easy for him to think that God had come to help him, and he also made a big decision, planning to sell insect repellent powder at a low price to increase the loyalty of his firm's original customers.
It's just that he never thought that the Hexi rice of the Lin family firm would have such a strong ability to resist insects.
Now, he fully knew that Luo Yanmi was no match for this Hexi rice.
Sure enough, you shouldn't be too insistent in the first place, just listen to the presbyterians and secretly dispose of the person in charge of their trading house.
Perhaps, the creation and production methods of Hexi seeds can be snatched over.
As soon as the locust plague passed, there was turmoil in Fengming Town, but to be honest, most of the farmers did not suffer much loss.
The side that bought Lin's rice was the biggest winner, and the side that bought Luoyan rice basically bought insect repellent powder at a low price, which alleviated the loss.
Only he, Luo's Commercial Bank, lost money and strength, and still lost the economic and trade war with Lin's Commercial Bank.
Luo Shengen sighed and shook his head, sure enough, he still had to rely on the ancestor......
