Chapter 85: The Battle of Snow Sugar (6)
The fat shopkeeper was so angry that he fell back, as the big shopkeeper of the head office of the Yinxian County, how many small businessmen had to stammer him before, how dare he shout against him, the reason why this Lou Lang has the courage to do now, but he can see that the family can no longer monopolize the sugar business!
This has one more purchase channel, there is one more way to make a fortune, you don't sell my brown sugar, I will find Mr. Houlong to buy sugar, the same money, which bird man is patient to suffer from your family's anger!
The fat shopkeeper was angry, but he suddenly remembered the repeated advice of the eldest lady, and even faintly revealed some news in the capital to him, telling him to be patient and not to stir up trouble.
The fat shopkeeper snorted and threw down a sentence: "It's a joke that you still dare to get involved in the snow candy business with your small capital of Lou Dalang." "I turned around and tried to find a place to sit down.
Who would have thought that the fat shopkeeper wanted to make a truce, but the big man on this floor refused to give up, and he also sneered: "The big shopkeeper of all the families, this snow sugar auction site, people have it, but your family has no face! The families forcibly raised the price, forcing Mr. Houlong to buy the rain-soaked brown sugar at a price of 30% high, who doesn't know, and now you still have the face to do snow sugar business with Mr. Houlong?
The businessmen next to them have coaxed, they are not to do justice to Mr. Houlong, really have this heart, when the families forcibly raised the price, they did not see them sell sugar to Houlong Village at a low price, but the businessmen all know that the capital of the families is large, in the competition for the snow sugar business, is the biggest opponent of a group of small businessmen, if you can just use words to squeeze the fat shopkeeper, let him leave in a rage, this is not one less of the biggest competitors?
It's just that the fat shopkeeper is also an old businessman, and he quarreled with other businessmen for a few words, and soon understood the other party's plan, so he simply made a stuffy gourd, how Ren Lou Dalang and others provoked, sat on the bench, half-closed his eyes and ignored it.
The fat shopkeeper hung up the war-free card, and other businessmen couldn't do anything about him, although there was a faint rumor that the families were going to fall, but after all, the families were big trees with deep roots, and even if they took advantage of a few words, could they still forcibly put the fat shopkeeper out of the auction hall?
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then, a group of half-grown children drove in with a donkey cart, and some people had sharp eyes and recognized that the first two were the stupid big brother and Li Bo who had begged grandpa and grandma everywhere to buy brown sugar.
The stupid big man shouted in a rough voice: "Let me, let let." "Pull the donkey cart all the way to the center of the field, then untie the donkey, jump on the cart, and with a bang, lift the cover of the reed mat that covers the cart.
The sun was in full bloom, the sun shone on the cart, and suddenly the snow was dazzling, and the merchants who had been crowded around the donkey cart next to them suddenly exclaimed: "My dear mother! This, this is snow candy?
The fat shopkeeper had actually seen a sample of snow candy at the eldest lady in advance, but the whole cart of snow candy in front of him was shining in the sun, which still shocked him very much, and he understood in an instant that the brown sugar business of all families was completely finished! In the future, except for the poor people who would try to buy brown sugar cheaply, everyone with a little family background would buy snow sugar, not to mention anything else, just this appearance, brown sugar was 108,000 miles behind snow sugar.
At this time, Lou Dalang had already jumped over, picked up a handful of snow candy, threw it into his mouth, tasted it, and nodded again and again: "Sweet! Sweet! So sweet! And there is not even a little sundry, it is really a first-class high-grade sugar! This little brother, this car of snow candy, I have it all!"
The businessmen next to him suddenly scolded: "Lou Dalang, what kind of thing are you, you dare to underwrite Mr. Houlong's snow sugar, this little brother, our Zhang family's business has always been outside the mouth, you hand over the snow sugar franchise business to me, and I will make you a gold and silver sea in a year!"
"Brother Li Bo, don't listen to them, I am also from Yinxian County, I know the roots from my hometown, you give me all the snow sugar produced in Houlong Village, we make money, five or five open--no, four or six open, I four you six--" This is playing the emotional card, but he has long forgotten that not long ago, when Li Bo came to the door of his store to cry and beg, he didn't look at the face of the villagers and sold Li Bo cheap brown sugar.
Li Bo stood beside the cart with his arms crossed, looking at the faces around him who were extremely excited, greedy, and thirsty, and suddenly had the feeling of "a big husband should be like this", he was the only one who begged for people before, but now it is the turn of so many wealthy businessmen to beg for himself - and all of this was brought to him by Brother Guo!
Li Bo waved his hand: "Don't worry, everyone! As long as the raw material brown sugar is not disturbed, my Houlong Village can produce such a cart of snow sugar every seven days, and seventy percent of this snow sugar is sold abroad, and the remaining thirty percent is sold in the territory of the Great Li Dynasty." ”
There was a sudden wail at the scene, and all the merchants of the Great Li Dynasty were indignant: "What?! Why can a person take seventy percent? My Great Li Dynasty has a large number of people and a wide land, but I can only get a share of thirty percent, which is unfair! Brother Li Bo, this snow candy is all sold in the Great Li Dynasty, and it can be sold cleanly, and these people don't need to pay attention to it at all, let them get out of the way, even if a grain of snow candy is not sold to them, they don't dare to complain. ”
This big Li Dynasty up and down, all regard this dynasty as a **** country, and overseas people are inferior, and it is not unusual to say this.
Li Botuan made a gesture: "Brothers, forgive me, it's not that I'm unreasonable, it's really that before we sold snow candy, we promised others that we would only take out 30% of it and sell it in the Great Li Dynasty, so as not to cut off other people's financial routes." ”
As soon as Li Bo said this, all the businessmen immediately understood, and they all turned their angry eyes on the fat shopkeeper -- this was obviously because the families were worried that Snow Candy had robbed the brown sugar business, and deliberately set this threshold! But this threshold did not stop Mr. Houlong from making a fortune -- Snow Candy made a lot of money by selling it to Fanren -- but it blocked the financial path of a group of small and medium-sized retailers.
The scene was suddenly scolded again, and outside the words, the family was scolded bloody, but the fat shopkeeper was also used to fighting in the mall, and the scolding didn't care at all, he seemed to have long forgotten the unhappiness of the dispute between Li Bo and the stupid big man, and stepped forward and hugged his fist: "Brother Li Bo, this is the thirty percent snow candy sold in the big Li Dynasty, my family has all the packages, let you make a price!"
The fat shopkeeper figured out that as long as he contracted all the snow sugar produced in Houlong Village, it was equivalent to another form of monopoly, and the families could still maintain their own sugar business and still make a lot of money.
After that, Longcun only produced a cart of snow candy in seven days, which is not a problem at all for stores all over the world, even if the output doubles, they can eat it all.
The fat shopkeeper didn't know that the production of a cart of snow sugar in seven days was actually Guo Dalu's deliberate suppression of production, as long as there were enough brown sugar raw materials, he could even produce seven carts of snow sugar a day, and now he was doing this, just learning the hunger marketing method of millet, so that the big Li Dynasty market has always had a sense of freshness and shortage of snow sugar.
Li Bo smiled: "Today is the snow sugar auction site, so please abide by the rules of the auction, and the one with the highest price will get it." ”
The fat shopkeeper shouted loudly: "No matter how high the price is set by others, I will increase the price by one percent - no, the price will be increased by three percent!"
Seeing that the fat shopkeeper is inevitable, other businessmen hate itchy, but the capital of these families is too strong, except for the shopkeepers sent by a few big businessmen, other small and medium-sized businessmen have secretly retreated.
However, Li Bo didn't look at the fat shopkeeper much, just glanced at the stupid big man, and the stupid big man opened a bag he was carrying, and took out a stack of papers from it: "Uncles and uncles, here is the detailed method of operating snow sugar and auctions, let's take a look, there are illiterate people, we have someone here to explain on your behalf." ”
Lou Dalang had already rushed up, grabbed a piece of paper in his hand, glanced at it, but found that the way it was printed was quite strange, it was actually arranged horizontally from left to right, and there were all kinds of ghost-like symbols in it, he was not from Yinxian County, he came from other places, and he sighed at the moment: "What is this, zigzag, dotted and scratched." ”
At that moment, a businessman from Yinxian County sneered: "This is punctuation, soil buns, and I don't even know this." This punctuation method was first spread from Houlong Village, and some people are rumored that although the punctuation method was obtained by the county officials from ancient books, in fact, the real inventor is Mr. Houlong. ”
Lou Dalang as a businessman, in fact, is extremely flexible, this brain is too rigid people, can not do business, a little advice, soon found the beauty of this punctuation, and praised again and again: "This Mr. Long is really talented, do snow candy and pay it back, this punctuation mark is the first class of good deeds of education." ”
However, after Lou Dalang understood the methods of operating snow sugar and the auction method printed on the paper, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and exclaimed: "Fortunately, Mr. Houlong did not come to do business, otherwise, where would there be a place for me to beg for food? I have been in business for most of my life, and it is the first time that I know how to sell a thing, and it can be sold like this!"
In fact, not only Lou Dalang, but even the big shopkeeper of the Zhu family looked at the piece of paper, and he was so impressed.
What Guo Dalu wrote on the paper is two things: one is the sub-regional consignment method, which divides the entire Dali Dynasty from south to north, according to the difference in economic development and population, into 18 districts. Merchants who come to participate in the auction can contract the right to sell snow sugar in the above-mentioned areas according to their own business strength. However, this consignment right is not something that can be obtained casually, and the merchant must confirm how much snow sugar is distributed in the area he has contracted each year, and the price of snow sugar in the same area must be stable and must not compete maliciously.
