Han Du didn't have Eunuch Lu's anxiety and said with a smile: "That's a good start, isn't it? Besides, didn't I say that? As long as the other side lowers the price, we will continue to lower it until someone is willing to buy it. Our coal is gone."
After listening to Han Du's words, Eunuch Lu's face did not look happy at all, but instead became more sad. "At the beginning, we continued to reduce prices, and it did have some effect. But as the opposite party and us continued to lower prices, the effect continued to weaken each time. Now not only are there few customers here, but also the opposite ones have the same customers as us. It’s starting to become less and less. We are worried that if we continue to lower prices like this, not many people will buy them even if we continue to lower prices.”
As expected.
When Han Du heard this, he felt confident.
Just wait and see, this is a normal phenomenon. As the two companies engage in price shopping, they continue to lower prices. If this is the case, doesn’t it mean that those who bought it at the beginning were paying too much in disguise?
People are not fools, and everyone wants to take advantage of it. But while taking advantage, no one wants to buy at a lower price than themselves.
Therefore, it is very normal to wait and see and not buy for the time being.
But this wait-and-see mood is like a spring, with a limit. This limit is when the price drops to much lower than the cost.
At that time, if you buy it, you will make a profit, which will cause people to rush to grab it.
And Han Du is also waiting for this time. After all, if the other party can make a few pieces of money every time he trades, how can he defeat the other party? Then Handu deliberately drags the opponent into price competition, which makes no sense.
Only by letting the other side throw money into it every time they make a sale can we completely defeat the other side.
Although Eunuch Lu is a qualified shopkeeper, most of the time he makes profits between buying and selling. It is obvious that he is very unfamiliar with this kind of business competition.
Therefore, Han Du persuaded: "This situation is only temporary. We don't have to care about the behavior of the people. We just keep an eye on the other side. As long as they lower the price, we will follow suit."
When Eunuch Lu heard this, his whole body trembled with fat, and he asked in a harsh voice: "How low will it be?"
"What's our current price?" Han Du asked nonchalantly.
Eunuch Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Ninety liters."
As expected, he was cautious.
Han Duxu glanced at Eunuch Lu. It took him so long to lower the price to ninety cents. No wonder not a single person buying charcoal could be seen in this shop.
But you can't blame him. People who haven't experienced price wars and don't lower the price by a penny feel like they are cutting flesh from themselves.
Well, it is indeed cutting flesh.
It's just that Han Du understands that no matter how much flesh is cut off now, as long as he can defeat the opponent. It won't be long before he can make his capital back with interest.
Shaking his head, Han Du said: "The price has dropped too slowly. It needs to drop even more."
Will it drop even more?
Eunuch Lu suddenly felt a pain in the fat on his body, and asked nervously: "Then you give our family a base, how low can it be reduced?"
Han Du leisurely raised a finger in front of Eunuch Lu.
"Shiwen!" The eunuch's unique sharp voice sounded, as if someone was really using a knife to attack Eunuch Lu.
"It's not ten cents, it's one cent." Han Du said decisively, "As long as it's better than giving it away for free, we will fight them to the end."
One penny and one hundred pounds.
What the hell price is this?
Eunuch Lu was clearly sitting in the house without being exposed to the slightest bit of sunlight. But the sweat on his forehead fell like beans.
Swallowing hard, Eunuch Lu said dryly: "At this price, at this price, we will lose money every time we sell it."
"Loss," Han Du said in a very relaxed tone, "When we lose, the opponent loses once. If you want to think about it, everyone is losing. We don't lose as much as the opponent every time."
Han Du told the truth.
How much does coal cost? Assuming that a craftsman can harvest two thousand catties a day, the labor price is only forty cents, which is as high as the sky. One hundred catties is only two cents. Including the cost of transportation, one hundred kilograms of pebbles will not cost more than four cents. Even if it is sold for one penny and one hundred catties, Handu will only lose three pennies for every one hundred catties.
Of course, this does not take into account the price of building cement roads, laying tracks and the coal itself. However, Han Du is naturally not in a hurry for these expenses now. As long as he can defeat the opponent, he will be able to earn back these expenses in a short time.
What about the cost on the other side?
Two hundred cents and one hundred pounds of charcoal is a real price.
If Han Du lowers the price of charcoal to one penny, how much should the charcoal on the opposite side be sold?
Is it sold for ten cents or twenty cents? No matter whether it is selling for ten coins or twenty coins, there is only a dead end on the other side.
Even if it is sold for twenty cents, the other side will lose one hundred and eighty cents for every one hundred kilograms of charcoal. No matter how big their family fortune is, how long can they sustain it? As long as they can no longer support themselves or run out of charcoal, they will naturally die without a burial place.
"Let's just deal with the price reduction. No matter what happens, I will be responsible for it, and I won't let you have anything to do with it." Han Du said calmly.
Only then did Eunuch Lu smell the strong smell of blood from Han Dufeng Qingyundan's words. The familiar smell reminded him of the days when he was in the palace, the days when the wind and sunshine were beautiful on the surface, but the swords were shining secretly.
Sure enough, wherever there are people there are fights.
Since Han Du said all the words and took all the responsibilities, then Eunuch Lu has nothing to be afraid of.
With a slight nod, he stood up and went out to make arrangements.
In the days that followed, the competition between Fuqi Trading Company and Handu quickly intensified. If the price of charcoal and coal was once a day in the past, as the competition between the two parties became more intense, it became a price every half a day. Later, even within an hour, both parties were competing to lower the price.
In just a few days, the price of charcoal and pebbles fell like a stone rolling down the mountain top, faster and faster.
In Fuqi Trading Company, Yu Shaodong's eyes were bloodshot and red and he reluctantly sat in the upper position. He had not had a good night's sleep at all since he had been fighting with Han Du for the past few days.
When the price of charcoal dropped to the bottom line of 200 yuan, Yu Shaodong was not too worried. Because at that time, the people were still waiting and waiting, and no one came to buy charcoal at all.
