PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!
The consignment method is for large merchants, and small merchants can also get a piece of the pie, that is, to participate in franchise stores. Small merchants everywhere buy snow sugar at a uniform price from the big agents, and at the same time pay a franchise fee, and the big agents promise not to supply other retailers at the same price. In this way, the economic interests of small traders and large wholesalers are safeguarded.
Guo Dalu copied this method of modern commerce, and he could sell snow candy to every corner of the Great Li Dynasty in a very short period of time, and he did not need to bear the costs of building a store and hiring men. At the same time, it avoids low-price competition among peers and ensures that Snow Sugar has stable profits for a long time.
This method of operation is completely different from the control of sugar by the Zhujia, which is an oligopoly mode of operation, and in the Da Li Dynasty, all the small wholesalers and retailers can only buy from the Zhujia, and then sell at a higher price, and the price of brown sugar and rock sugar in the market is not stable, and sometimes merchants in the same area have to compete with each other.
However, the drought and flood of the families have ensured their income, and the pressure of competition and capital have all been pressed on the lower-level businessmen.
The fat shopkeeper shook his head again and again in his heart, and then Mr. Long was very good, and only this consignment method bought the hearts of countless businessmen.
Let's look at the auction law. In fact, there is also an auction in the Great Li Dynasty, the principle is very simple, bidding in public, the highest bidder wins, and even in the Qinglou, in order to win the **** night of the top girl, the big men will use the auction method.
It's just that the auction method in Houlong Village is a secret auction. That is to say, each merchant writes down his distribution price, agency fee, and annual sales quantity of snow candy on a piece of paper, seals it, and hands it over to the stupid big man, Li Bo and others in Houlong Village, and then the stupid big man and Li Bo unpack and compare it in the secret room, and finally the one with the highest bid wins.
Since the merchants do not know each other's prices, they are afraid that if they call it low, the price will only be higher than that of the open auction. This article puts an end to the collusion between businessmen and the conspiracy to win the right to sell snow sugar at low prices.
The auction scene was quiet all of a sudden, and the merchants asked for paper from the stupid big man and Li Bo, and began to fill in the quotation form for the secret auction, looking at each other and guarding against each other, lest others find out their hole cards, and there were also some weaker businessmen who discussed cooperation with each other - because Houlong Village allowed many small businessmen to unite and form a large businessman to jointly sign the agency rights of a region.
The big shopkeeper of the Zhu family bit a bald pen, frowning and pondering, he has the power to operate snow candy, originally according to his plan, no matter who bids, he only needs to add one or three achievements in the end, and the Zhu family can afford to spend this money.
But the regional agent and the secret shooting method, but let his plans all fail, he must now come up with a most suitable price, at the very least, to take down the agency rights in the eastern part of Zhejiang, Zhedong is the place where all families made a fortune, if even this piece of land can not be kept, then when he goes back to his life, the eldest lady will definitely not give herself a good face, I can't say, I have to roll up and go home.
However, the fat shopkeeper was unwilling to offer too high a price, so he let Houlong Village benefit in vain, thought about it repeatedly for a long time, scribbled and painted on the paper for a while, and wrote down a price, sealed the paper, and handed it over.
The stupid big man and Li Bo accepted the envelope handed over by the merchants, and went to a small straw hut erected at zero hour next to them to look at it, and after a while, a child came up to the stage and read aloud the names of the merchants who had won the agency rights in a certain area.
As each name was pronounced, there were people in the audience who cheered, and suddenly people beat their chests, regretting that they had only opened a silver tael less than others, and they had missed out on the snow sugar business - however, this snow bran business was open to bidding every two years, and they still had a chance in the coming year.
The fat shopkeeper Rao is used to seeing the big scene, and he is also nervous at this time, and when he finally listens to the children on the stage read out his name, the fat shopkeeper has a long breath, and finally the agency in eastern Zhejiang has been taken down. Several provinces in eastern Zhejiang are the richest places in the Great Li Dynasty, and the people here like to eat sweet, which can be described as a battleground for the sugar business, and won the general distribution right in eastern Zhejiang, which can be said to have won half of the country.
But the fat shopkeeper soon became painful again, because compared with the agency fees of several neighboring provinces, the cost of his own was actually a full fifty percent higher, alas, who let himself encounter the secret shooting method for the first time, and he couldn't figure out the way for a while, and the price was much higher.
This one in and one out, it is all white silver, compared to his previous price increase of thirty percent to sell low-quality brown sugar, Mr. Houlong made a little trick, so he let himself spit out all the silver, and he had to paste it into a lot.
The fat shopkeeper really regretted it, I knew today, why bother at the beginning, if the family got along well with Mr. Houlong at that time, with everyone being a villager in Yinxian County, and having wealth together, what was wrong.
At this moment, there was another commotion in the field, and I saw a few merchants who had won the right to sell overseas shouting loudly, asking their black slaves to open a few boxes they were carrying, only to see that as soon as the box was opened, there was a sudden burst of jewels in the sun, and I saw that the boxes were filled with either gold or pearls the size of a thumb!
Originally, these merchants were determined to get snow candy, and they carried a large amount of gold beads with them, and they originally planned to buy snow candy at a high price from the auctioneer even if they couldn't shoot snow candy on the spot.
Fanren businessmen have imagined that in the future, the ladies and ladies of various countries will be a laughing stock in the social circle if they do not prepare a plate of **** snow candy from the country when drinking afternoon tea.
Therefore, when several Fanren businessmen were secretly auctioning, they made the highest bids, swallowing seventy percent of the sales in one bite, and even found Li Bo to say that no matter how much snow candy they had, they could eat it. This was naturally rejected by Li Bo, and he also warned them not to rush to buy snow candy in large quantities in the territory of the Great Li Dynasty, and if they disrupted the price of snow sugar, they would not want to get a grain of snow candy in Houlong Village in the future.
Fan human nature likes to boast, and he can't wait to wear all his net worth on his body, so he won the total sales right of snow candy, opened the box directly, took out the gold beads, and handed them over to the stupid big man.
Among them, there was a fan merchant who was anxious, pulled the cart of sample snow candy and was about to leave, pulled a few handfuls of the car that couldn't be pulled, took out a gold ingot for the stupid big one, and bought the donkey next to him - this ingot of gold is enough to buy three such donkeys!
Lou Dalang is also jubilant, he and a few small businessmen together in partnership, won a large province in the northwest of the snow sugar distribution rights, although the northwest is remote, the people's livelihood is poor, but everywhere is indispensable local tyrants, these people like to follow the trend of learning the atmosphere of the capital or the south of the Yangtze River, such snow sugar to the northwest, can be sold than the price of Zhejiang East is twice as high - what is called a local tyrant, that is to buy only expensive, not to buy the right! ------------------------------------------------------ thanks to the obscene laughter happy, the holy angel, paladin candle sky, and the great man ̊ for the reward, today's push, edamame four more words.
