Chapter 344: Price War

,

The people of Huji's gang quickly stopped the self-explanatory Jie Xufang, although the price of salt suddenly jumped. But it didn't take long after the meal to stabilize to forty-two silver coins.

And Leo instantly lowered the price of salt to thirty-eight silver coins.

Although the price of salt has dropped, the residents of Nedel City are not stupid, they will not dance to the command of Leo or the salt merchant, and now everyone knows that the price of salt will not fall, but will drop dramatically.

In Lorraine's words, everyone is now holding on to the fence.

Whether it was Leo or the salt merchant, his subordinate shop pΓΉ used their strength to advertise, although it was very loud, but no one came to pay for it.

Jerry soon noticed this anomaly, and several stores pΓΉ throat shut, and there was not a penny in the account, so he didn't have to think about it to know what was going on.

Jerry Xun ran to report to Leo. When Leo heard this, he was shocked and said: "This is worth it, the things that can't be sold are worthless, so let's drop it again." We sell thirty-five silver coins a pound. ”

Now, Leo's shop pΓΉ has finally had sales, and some people have begun to walk into the store pΓΉ to buy.

Niddle City is not too big, especially in the commercial area, there are only four of them, and everyone's shops are on the same street, and some are simply opposite the door.

Seeing that the Neyan Salt Company has simply pulled the price below forty, and someone has begun to buy it, the salt merchants here can only follow with their noses, and these big men gather in the secret room to quarrel, and they simply retract into the secret room. almost broke his head and bleed, and he only thought of one way, gritted his teeth and ordered, the price was reduced, and the price was lowered again.

After all, if you can't sell it, you will get damp in the warehouse. They can't get back a penny of the cost, now, regardless of the high or low price, sell it!

These people are also broken jars, and how much can be recovered.

The salt merchants put a new price of salt on the price tags that had been put up several layers: thirty-three silver coins a pound.

Jerry shook his head and sighed, although he knew that Leo's order to go back must also be "reduce the price again", but he didn't dare to do this for Leo. Although President Leore keeps calling for employees to be more autonomous at company meetings, it means that when you are working, especially when it comes to voluntary overtime, it is not up to you to make decisions for your boss.

Sure enough, Jerry reports to Leo. After the gang lowered the price of salt again, Leo said angrily: "Those grandsons, when the price is raised, it drags on, and when the price is reduced, why is it so simple." I didn't finish a glass of juice, and they couldn't stand it, so I had to lose a lot of money, which was really infuriating. Herald, and then will. ”

The people of Naidel City are like watching a good football game, and the two sides are still playing against each other, and they are competing for goals, which is very exciting.

Some of the people of Nyder stood guard at the door of the shop. As soon as he saw the salt worship, he cheered loudly, then stretched out his head to wait for the other family to respond, and when this side also lowered, he whistled and cheered loudly.

Some of the ghosts shouted in droves, "Dropped again, fell again." "Running around the streets of Nader. Lorraine walked down the streets of Naidel City, and it felt as lively as watching the World Cup before.

Today, Nidel City is like the biggest annual "Feast of the Fathers", and the cheers of the people can be heard everywhere.

After the price of salt dropped by thirty silver coins, both sides began to be cautious.

Leo was unhappy with the price reduction. If this continues, it seems that he, the president, will not be able to save a few private money.

The salt merchants were even more reluctant to see the price of salt drop, but the Ne Salt Industry put on a resolute attitude of wanting to beat their chrysanthemums, knowing that they were jumping into hell, and they had to pinch their noses and jump down.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the price of salt was two silver coins at a time, or even three silver coins at a time. By three or four o'clock in the afternoon. The price of salt has been reduced, and the amount of silver coins is declining at a time.

Although the price of salt has fallen, the price of salt is still resolutely declining, which is something that neither Leo nor those salt merchants can stop.

Leo himself can't stop this crazy trend. This vicious price war has brought Leo himself into it, looking at Vera's parabolic salt price chart.

Leo snuggled down in the sand. He felt sorry for himself: "I miscalculated, I miscalculated, and the price war was unacceptable." ”

Knowing that he would not be able to make a few dollars if he continued like this, Leo had no choice but to reduce the price of salt by one silver coin every half an hour.

For this reason, Ou said ruthlessly: "That's it." It's all over. ”

Drink the juice with an open stomach, I used to add two ice cubes at a time, but now I add four.

Leo was crying in his heart, and the salt merchant was bleeding in his heart.

For every cent of the price of salt, they lost tens of thousands of gold coins. Many of these people are not only stockpiling salt. They themselves are salt producers, and they all have different salt farms in their hands, otherwise they would not be arrogant and clamoring to monopolize the salt supply in Nai'an.

This trend of price reductions continues. Not only did they lose all the money they had invested, but the salt works they had built and operated for generations were also closed.

The money thrown in is gone, and they can make it again, but if their property is gone, they can only go to the street to beg for food.

This group of Naian people no longer has the arrogance of a few days ago, no good wine, no food, and no beautiful women to flatter them.

Now a large group of them sat in silence in the empty room, even if someone looked up to talk and see the crowd

This group of people had just experienced a through train from heaven to hell, and they were still happily calculating their earnings in the morning, and after receiving the news of the dumping of Nai An Salt at noon, they have been until now. The only thing they do is calculate their losses.

Since this group of people was urgently summoned, although they were all racking their brains to think about countermeasures, until now, they can only passively deal with Leo's price war here.

Every time the men they sent to the market came in, the faces of the gang turned white, because it meant that the price of the salt industry in Nai On had been lowered again. And they could only grit their originally clenched teeth a little tighter, and said hoarsely: "Down!"

Someone shouted, "Think of a way." If I go on, I'll lose all my money in my life. ”

"Losing money? Hmph, my entire property has been lost, is there a way? I shouldn't have listened to you if I had known. ”

"Why don't you say that when you're making money. Is it interesting to call this now? I lost more than 60,000 gold coins. You're a hairy thing. ”

"Me

"Save effort. Shut up!"

When the price of the net starts to drop, these people will also make noise or curse. Or wailing. When it fell below thirty silver coins, they didn't even have the strength to complain.

Most people just sat there in a daze, some people couldn't stop pouring wine bottles, trying to get themselves drunk, and some people grabbed their heads and slammed them against the wall.

Others frowned and tapped their fingers, not knowing what was going on in their minds.

Then there was another knock on the door, and they looked at the door in fear as if they were suddenly frightened, as if a murderous devil would jump in from outside the door.

The race to cut prices continued into the evening. The price of salt has reached twenty silver coins a pound, and it is about to break through the heart price of twenty silver coins.

Although the people of Nedel City haven't seen enough of this ancient price war, it is also time for dinner, and everyone estimates that it is time to end, and the people gathered in front of the store are still talking about today's grand occasion and are ready to go home.

Leo poured a belly of juice this afternoon. Now my stomach is swollen uncomfortably, like carrying a bag in it.

And the staff who collect information from the market is like a butterfly wearing a flower, and every once in a while, he will come up to report the market to Leo.

Leo felt suffocated at the moment, and sat up from the sand staggeringly, Jerry knocked on the door and walked in, just in time to bump into Leo, who was eager to go out.

Melina said behind Leo's back, "Why are you going?" Sister Nicole told us to go back to dinner early. ”

Leo hurriedly walked out, waving his head and hand without looking back, "Got it." Then he pushed away Jerry, who was standing in the doorway.

Jerry hurriedly said: "President, the person on the other side has lowered the price again, and we are all waiting for your opinion." ”

Leo jumped out of the door, ran to the toilet in two steps, and said loudly: "President, I'm in a hurry, I won't play with them, I'll throw them all away." ”

That's it, in Leo a pee soak time. The price of Ney'an's salt fell to a pound of silver.

The news came. The people of Nedel City rushed to tell each other and cheered, and the housewife took out the salt shaker hidden on the top of the cupboard, scooped it up, and sprinkled it into the soup pot.

The salt merchants gathered together were shattered by this news to the last bit of hope, they just did not fry salt this time, and the cost price of salt released by these salt farms was already more than one silver coin, and there was no hope at all to compete with the salt industry in Nai'an.

And when Leo counted his income today and was about to make a fake account for Catherine, he was surprised to find that he had only earned a hundred and ten gold coins after playing the price station for a long time.

The next day, it seemed like overnight. Everything was normal again, and people lived a peaceful and peaceful life under the protective nature of the imperial government. Those things that smashed the shop seem to have been born in the last century.

No one gathered in front of the salt shop, no one complained on the street that the officials were rice buckets, and no one threw stones into the government departments.

Only when passing by those shops that have closed their doors, Nedel will scold at the door, except for the salt turmoil in Ney'an. All of a sudden, it's over.

Lorraine walked into the conference room of the Doge's Palace as usual. Sitting on his own height, he took the hot tea from the secretary's aunt, raised his head and glanced at his subordinates, and was surprised to see that they were all staring at him with eyes as if they were looking at aliens.

Angus suddenly puffed up, and the officials below followed Angus's actions closely, slapping themselves vigorously in the conference room.

Angus nodded deeply at Lorraine. Said: "My lord did a really beautiful job. ”

The others also patted their ass, shouting, "Your Excellency the Governor is wise. ”

"We've been worried for so long, and it turns out that the Governor has already taken a countermeasure. ”

"It's really sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform. ”

Lorraine looked at the happy smiles of everyone in front of him, just smiled reservedly, and then signaled the people below to be quiet.

Lorraine said: "Ladies and gentlemen, although this turmoil is really not a big deal, but your performance in dealing with the crisis is very good, and I am very satisfied. Only stabilizing the market is our first step, and we will never tolerate these profiteers who raise prices, but we must not use unreasonable and illegal means to deal with them.

From this incident, many questions have been exposed, why is the authority of our government not enough to be lazy Kawa Honsen, this is a very strict political problem, do you understand?"

Understood, how not understood. The following group of officials secretly thought in their hearts, it's not all your old man who said, you must treat them reasonably and legally. If you want to put it aside, you have already let them understand what the authority of the government is, and you can still make them make trouble.

Lorraine continued: "The remediation of the commercial market in Nai Am is very necessary in the light of the current situation. Our focus for the next phase. It is to conduct a comprehensive review of the market and prices in Nai'an. Especially those immeasurable profiteers who disregard the people's livelihood and loot ordinary people, they must be dealt with severely, understand no. ”

The group of officials below said loudly, "Yes." Your Excellency the Governor. ”

Lorraine nodded and said, "I am very satisfied with everyone's performance in the first two months, I have seen everyone's hard work, and I hope you will continue to work hard in the future."

Our Governor of Lorraine said that the market should be rectified under the premise of being reasonable and legal, and how should it be rectified? Of course, all departments have fulfilled their duties and gone down to inspect them, and when they found them, they were fined. Then order the closure of business for rectification or something, of course. If the fine is paid in full, there is no need to suspend business for rectification, otherwise, let him look at it for the whole three years and two years.

Our Governor of Lorraine also emphasized that we must crack down on those profiteers who disregard the people's livelihood.

Those salt merchants were shameless, and they dared to refute the governor's face, and now that they had been wilted with a stick, they should fall into the well and cut their raw pork well.

In recent times, the slaves of Naian have been freed, and those low-level officials who have been raised with their mouths dirty. Just complaining that life was not going well, they were well informed that the Governor of Lorraine was going to deal with the group of salt merchants, and the fellows, who were regarded as the lackeys of the Governor of Lorraine, once again high-fived each other, and cheered: Now we can make money again.

On the other hand, all departments of the Nai On government have gone out to carry out an indefinite inspection in Nai'an.

Lorraine and the others had already mastered the details of the salt merchants, and these people were listed as targets to be attacked, and when the big net was launched, the fish and shrimp were also unlucky.

Needless to say, the tax department has a routine raid every now and then, and they rely on this to eat, and now they don't have to explain it to play, these tax collectors, who are stronger than the average army, show up on time every day with their bags, especially those whom the governor has said to take care of. The tax collector will come to the door every day on time to check until the market closes, and then close the account book on time and leave work.

The soldiers of the guard no longer just bait and chase thieves every day. Due to the climate, it is close to the layout of the city. This is the time of high fires, and if they break out, they will have a devastating effect on the entire city of Naider. In view of the severity and urgency of the problem, the Governor of Lorraine temporarily signed a decree ordering the guard to take charge of Chiang's defense, and the task was to investigate the fire hazards in all parts of Nedel City.

Once it appears, it is necessary to order it to rectify within a time limit. Those who fail to make corrections shall be severely punished.

All the soldiers of the current guard station walked into the shops of the market in a grand manner, from the inside out. Press vigorously from top to bottom.

These soldiers and ruffians are usually virtuous people who have nothing to do, but now with the authorization of the governor, they are even more arrogant, as the old saying goes, thieves are like combs. The soldiers are like a grate, and this is a bitter boss of the market. The vast majority of people have no choice but to break the bank and avoid disaster.

Those who have been named above to focus on. Even if you want to break the fortune, no one dares to take it now, and the people here don't say a word, just leave a sentence of "rectification"

Wait for the boss to renovate the shop carefully. These people came to the door and threw down a ticket, and then left a sentence of "rectification again", and walked away, if there were still those who persisted, what they got was a sentence of "still rectification"

This is just a simple means, adhering to the will of the Naian government officials, this time, in the rectification incident, fully exert their enthusiasm, change the law to find trouble with them.

You can just find a reason in the port. Suspicion of smuggling, suspicion of theft, suspicion of transporting counterfeit and shoddy products, suspicion of "I just suspect you, what's the matter, and then detain their transport vessels, inspect for three months and five months, you can rest assured that the behavior of our public servants is reasonable and legal, we will not treat the people simply and rudely, and you can also go to our superiors to complain if you have any opinions."

The same excuse is used at the checkpoint to intercept these people's abandoned teams.

Lorraine's revenge was simple and direct, and it was unstoppable, and for a few days, those who had been shouting "give this governor a little color" some time ago were dumbfounded.

These official methods are just and bright, even if they want to refute it, they can't stand it. It's not that no one wants to go to Rumans City to sue the royal court. After all, there are few bigwig relatives in the family. After they discussed it carefully, it became clear that Lorraine had not left any reason for them to sue.

This qiΔ“ action was all under the government's decree. According to the letter of the law, they can't sue Lorraine as the governor, he is too well-behaved, everything must be done according to reasonable and legal requirements, and he is not overbearing at all.
