Chapter 17: The Battle of Salt (2)
Hearing the white shark shouting to be rough, the black shark immediately shouted: "Second brother, come back to me, don't be impulsive!"
The white shark still said, "Big brother, what will we do if we let these untouchables buy this salt?"
Black Shark then said angrily: "Second brother, I said don't be impulsive, according to your statement, we will be finished together at that time." I told you www.biquge.info the most important business of our Sea Shark Gang is salt, so we'd rather kill people in the rivers and lakes than ordinary people. Because salt is only sold to people, the more people we have, the better our salt sells. If you kill all the ordinary people, it won't solve the problem, it will only make things worse!"
Black Shark is still very calm and has no intention of directly using violence. This is also the particularity of the salt business, the salt business is dependent on the necessities of human survival, in other words, the more people, the more salt they need, and the higher the profit. Salt is essentially a method of exploitation that relies on market monopoly and then trickles down the drain.
Since the rise of the Sea Shark Gang, although they are ruthless to the gangs, they have not directly killed the vast majority of the low-level people. Why is this, it is not because there are human beings that there is a consumer market for salt, if there are no more people, who will eat salt! When he heard that the white shark was actually going to attack the ordinary people, it would be a big death! The Sea Shark Gang can kill the same people in the rivers and lakes, and they can kill the salt distributors, but they absolutely cannot kill the ordinary people in large numbers. Because these consumers of salt, that is, ordinary people, kill a person, doesn't that cut off their own market? Therefore, over the years, the Sea Shark Gang has mainly been ruthless to the rivers and lakes, and ruthless to the merchants, but it has rarely directly killed ordinary people in large quantities. Because Black Shark understands that killing ordinary people is cutting off its own market, and it will just make things worse.
"Second brother, second brother, I said it all, at this time, it's not the time to rely on a pair of fists to fight the country, but also rely on the brain. If you do this, it won't solve the problem!" Black Shark said in hatred.
The white shark immediately said angrily: "Big brother, what should we do then? Could it be that if this salt is sold like this, who will buy our rotten salt in the future?"
I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing goods, and after seeing the snow salt that Jiang Bo made, even the white shark had to admit that the salt he sold was also a piece of garbage!
But the black shark smiled treacherously and said, "Aren't they selling salt? Aren't they not limited to the quantity they can buy? Very good, I want to see how much they can sell! They want to buy people's hearts by this means, but I want to tell them that people's hearts are not bought like this, and I will see how much foundation they can afford to lose!"
Soon, Black Shark delivered an order that alarmed the entire Sea Shark Gang.
"The helper has an order, everyone goes and buys salt, and all the refined salt is bought. And, all the people mobilized all their relatives and friends to buy together. If they buy it back, the helper will reimburse them! We want to see how much money they can lose!"
The Sea Sharks quickly countered the situation, but they did not directly intend to use violence at the first time, and instead adopted a relatively mild approach. They actually mobilized their subordinates to help the people buy salt, that is, to buy the salt that Jiang Bo made them, or even buy them in large quantities, mobilize all their relatives and friends to buy them, and then they can be reimbursed after they buy them back.
"Second brother, don't they claim to be thirty wen a pound of these exquisite table salt? When the time comes, see how much money they still have to lose. It is impossible to refine such a good table salt without spending more than one or two silver. We buy, we buy hard, and see how long they can hold on! Anyway, when we run out, then we can continue to monopolize it. Hmph, after all, our Sea Shark Gang has accumulated so many years, and the cost of spending money with us is enough to make them lose a lot!" Black Shark said.
As for the other end, Jiang Bo was stunned when he saw the sales of salt sent from all over Jiangsu.
"Why is it so tall?" Jiang Bo asked.
Zhang Chuchun replied: "Jiang Bo, Tiance guards have gone to inquire, this is the Sea Shark Gang mobilizing manpower to buy." Not only did their Sea Shark Gang not move roughly, but they took the initiative to follow and buy it. Not only did they buy it themselves, but they also mobilized all the relatives and friends of the gang to buy it together, anyway, we cost 30 yuan a catty, although we have to queue up several times, but the Sea Shark Gang is a lot of people after all!"
"They mobilized countless people, tens of thousands of people almost every day to take turns lining up in various places, and then buying our salt in large quantities. And after these people bought the salt, they went directly to the Sea Shark Gang, and then sold the salt to the Sea Shark Gang again at the original price. ”
Zhang Chuxia also said here: "That's right, this time the Sea Shark Gang bought a large amount of our salt, and most of them wanted to take the opportunity to collect a large amount of salt, and then monopolize it in the future." After all, according to the general people's thinking, this is table salt must be very expensive, and the quantity is very small. ”
Jiang Bo also suddenly laughed, and then said: "I really didn't expect that the Sea Shark Gang was actually smart but was mistaken by being smart! They didn't expect it, I carefully inquired about the habits of this black shark, and I found that this guy is rough and fine, very smart and cunning and calm." So I deliberately set a trap for him, but I didn't expect that he really fell for it!"
"I know that most of the black sharks don't use force directly in the first place, and they don't know that our salt production technology has made great progress, so we have given up the way we used to cook salt and directly use the method of drying and filtering, so that our quality is not only very high, but also the taste is many times better. They subconsciously think that this kind of salt is very expensive, and we are really deliberately making money at a loss to buy people's hearts. They want to buy it this way, then hoard it and make a profit. ”
"However, he happened to fall into the scheme, this guy is thick and fine, and the result is exactly my calculation!"
Qiu Hua immediately nodded and said, "Jiang Bo, you are amazing this time." I'm afraid that this time, the accumulation of more than ten years of the Sea Shark Gang will enter our pockets. They take the initiative to buy our salt, which is equivalent to taking the initiative to give us money. I didn't expect that Jiang Bo, your little calculation, I am afraid that the wealth accumulated by the Sea Shark Gang for more than ten years has flowed into us through the channel of salt. ”
Jiang Bo replied: "Aren't they going to buy it? We sell it! They are willing to be the big wrongdoer, so why don't we sell it? They think they can buy all our refined salt, but they don't know that we have dug a lot of salt ponds in the salt works along the coast. The daily salt production is more than 50 tons!"
On the other side, the Sea Shark Gang's major warehouses were suddenly filled with all kinds of fine snow salt that were purchased in the market. There are thousands of people in their Sea Shark Gang, and they indirectly control tens of thousands of salt-boiling workers, but now they don't need to boil salt. Buy these salts directly from the market in reverse.
The idea of the Sea Shark Gang is very simple, that is, since Jiang Bo sells these cheap table salts, then they will also buy them. It's just 30 yuan a pound, and they firmly believe that when they get to this other party, they don't know what kind of force they have, and once they can't support it, they will inevitably tear their faces and will not be able to continue "loss-making marketing".
"Big brother, we have already bought hundreds of tons of these refined salts, what should we do next? Hundreds of tons, they actually sold them directly, what the hell is going on?" White Shark exclaimed.
Black Shark looked at these salt warehouses that were filled one by one, and his heart was also very nervous. He originally thought that this other party was just relying on relatively sufficient capital, and would rather lose some sales in the early stage, and then he could enter the market with the trend. In this way, they deliberately "show favor" to the people, that is, they hope to win a part of the hearts and minds of the people in the future, and then let the people buy from them.
But now I have bought a large number of tons, and I have bought more than 100 tons, and in just three or two days, they are all 100 tons. This is hundreds of tons of salt, and the other party actually ate it like this, which made the black shark also mutter. Selling such hundreds of tons of salt like this has already cost a lot of the Black Shark Gang's financial resources.
You must know that the Black Shark Gang's accumulation over the past ten years is certainly strong, but it does not mean that you can spend it casually, and you can really be a loser casually. When he saw this, he began to get nervous in his heart, and how much money the other party had.
"Big brother, could it be that they have a lot of ways to make this refined salt, and the price is very low?" asked White Shark.
The black shark immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible! No matter how delicate we are, we can't have such good table salt." This salt is already much better than our best table salt. Even if they want to refine these salts, no matter how low the cost is, it is impossible to be less than a few hundred dollars. “
"So, they must be holding on, they must be holding on! Keep buying more for me, and get them all the more out of stock. ”
On the other side, Jiang Bo and Qiu Hua were receiving information in the Thousand Households.
"Qiuhua Qianhu, Jiang Bo, this time those Sea Shark Gang are even more crazy and have increased the number of purchases. Even the queues are more frequent every time, mobilizing more people to come and make purchases. Zhang Chuchun said.
Zhang Chuxia also showed a lovely smile and said, "Qiuhua Qianhu, Jiang Bo, this time their Sea Shark Gang hanged their birthday star, and they are impatient." Originally, this huge amount of wealth had already flowed into us through this salt as a medium, but they actually continued to increase their efforts, so they didn't seek their own death?"
Qiuhua was also surprised: "They have purchased no less than 200 tons, why haven't they found out that it is a conspiracy?"
Jiang Bo said reassuringly: "Hua'er, it's actually very simple, they are just doing it because of their inherent thinking. ”
Hearing Jiang Bo call himself "Hua'er" made Qiuhua feel happy for a while, which represented that in addition to being physically connected, Jiang Bo was emotionally closer. After all, Qiuhua is also a woman, no matter how high her martial arts are, she is also a woman, and a woman's nature still very much hopes to gain the friendship of the man she likes. So I am even happier that Jiang Bo is so close.
"Jiang Bo, what is inherent thinking?" Qiuhua asked.
Jiang Bo took the initiative to ask: "Hua'er, everyone in the world knows that gold is very valuable, if the price of gold suddenly falls by one percent, do you think it is normal?"
Qiuhua nodded and said, "Although it is a bit too much to fall by one percent at a time, it is still within the acceptable range, and it is barely normal." ”
Jiang Bo then asked: "Then if the price of gold falls tenfold, and it drops tenfold overnight, do you think it is possible? Do you think this is normal?"
"This fool thinks it's impossible, where is there a tenfold drop in price overnight, and if it is reduced tenfold in ten years, this may be reluctantly acceptable. But it decreased tenfold overnight, this is definitely a problem, it's boring!ah, you mean ......" Qiuhua said directly.
Jiang Bo immediately nodded and said, "That's right, Hua'er, it's actually very simple. The world thinks that the price of salt is hundreds of Wen a catty, although in addition to the monopoly of the Sea Shark Gang, there is also a cost factor. For example, seawater boiling salt requires all kinds of fuel, fuel needs to be transported, and salt workers who boil all kinds of salt also need to eat, drink and lasa to support their families, which is also an input that cannot be ignored. ”
"So this is destined to be at least a pound of salt, and the minimum is more than 70 yuan, and if you add the freight, it will definitely be higher. Although these Sea Shark Gangs rely on force to exploit them, there are some costs that cannot be bypassed. What's more, this is still the lowest grade of salt, and if it is high-grade salt, it is an incomparable price, and there is no market. ”
"But suddenly one day, there is a kind of salt on the market, which is much better than your highest-grade salt, but the price is ten times lower than the lowest-grade salt.
"It is precisely because of everyone's inherent thinking that this will have such a result, and Black Shark will not believe that there is a means in this world that can reduce the cost of salt by ten times, and can produce ten thousand excellent salt, which is better than the highest grade. Their inherent thinking makes him inevitably think that someone is doing something, so not only will he not reduce the amount of purchases and sales, but on the contrary, he will further press step by step. ”
"We have made a good start to this salt battle!"
