Originally, Yu Shaodong was a little uneasy because he had lowered the price to the cost price, but when he saw that no one came to buy it, he felt relieved.
Since no one comes to buy it, what if he lowers the price to less than the cost? As long as he doesn't sell it, he won't suffer a loss.
But Yu Shaodong didn't expect that when he lowered the price of charcoal to one hundred and fifty cents, people slowly started to buy it. But at this time, he was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off. Even if he was losing money for every hundred pounds he sold, he could only lose his teeth and swallow blood.
A waiter hurried in. When he saw Yu Shaodong's red eyes, he couldn't help but shuddered and said tremblingly: "Shopkeeper, the price of coal opposite has dropped to thirty cents."
“What’s the current price of our charcoal?”
"One hundred Wen." The clerk replied truthfully.
"Then lower it to ninety cents." Yu Shaodong said fiercely.
The guy didn't want to stay here any longer. After hearing Yu Shaodong's instructions, he turned around and left.
"Wait a minute." Just as the guy was about to step out the door, he was stopped by Yu Shaodong.
"What other orders does the shopkeeper have?" The waiter turned around and stopped, lowering his head and asked.
The hesitation on Yu Shaodong's face flashed away, and he ordered: "You arrange for someone to notify Dong Yuan, Taiji, and Xinfeng and ask them to send the money over. I will not deduct a penny from them in interest."
After listening to Yu Shaodong's instructions, the clerk couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness in his mouth. The interest rates of those three firms were not low. If it is not repaid in time, it is unknown whether Fuqi will still exist. If Fu Qi is gone, he will naturally lose his place to stay.
well!
The waiter sighed in his heart, but Yu Shaodong was the boss. He was nothing and could not change anything at all.
He had no choice but to whisper back, "Yes."
The three commercial banks quickly delivered the money to Yu Shaodong as agreed.
Looking at the copper-clad wooden boxes piled all over the house, Yu Shaodong was very confident. He opened one and saw the neatly arranged silver ingots inside the box.
With enough money in hand, Yu Shaodong naturally bought charcoal everywhere, not only around the capital, but also sent people to other places to buy it. Charcoal is now like food for Yu Shaodong. As long as he prepares enough and sufficient charcoal, he is confident enough to squeeze Han Du to death.
It's a pity that Yu Shaodong miscalculated.
Originally, he thought that Handu would not last long if he lowered the price of coal to 30 cents. After all, Handu had just opened and had not yet made a profit. How could it be compared with him who had already made a lot of money for a long time?
Who would have thought that after Han Du lowered the price of charcoal to thirty cents, the price reduction would become larger and larger. It dropped directly from thirty cents to twenty cents, and then from twenty cents to ten cents.
At this time, Yu Shaodong was still biting his teeth to bleed to insist. If Han Du sold ten coins, he would sell twenty coins, vowing to fight Han Du to the end.
The surging crowd rushed towards Fuqi Trading Company's shop and Han Du's shop. At this time, people no longer care whether they buy charcoal or coal. A hundred kilograms of pebbles cost ten pennies, and a hundred kilograms of charcoal cost twenty pennies. At such a price, what is there to hesitate about? Buy as much as you can. After buying charcoal, buy coal. After passing this village, this once-in-a-lifetime good thing will never happen again.
Groups of people rushed into Fuqi Trading Company's shop, opening their mouths and holding three hundred kilograms and five hundred kilograms of charcoal while waving treasure notes in their hands. The bundles contained copper coins or broken silver.
Faced with such a booming business scene, if it were the past, Fuqi's clerk would have laughed happily. Even if he was so busy that he had no time to rest and was spinning around, he would not complain at all.
But now the faces of a group of guys are uglier than their dead father.
The common people didn't care whether they looked ugly or not. They waved the treasure money in their hands to buy the charcoal and drag it away. As for the guy's face, well, it seems that the common people feel a different kind of pleasure when they take advantage of it.
Your own happiness is based on the pain of others.
In order to make themselves happier, those people who had just bought charcoal went back to buy some more.
In just half a day, the charcoal stacked by Fuqi Trading Company in the shop was sold out. As a result, Yu Shaodong had to direct his workers to collect charcoal from various places with red eyes. In addition, some people were sent out to purchase charcoal, causing the price of charcoal in other places to rise.
This presents an extremely abnormal phenomenon.
Originally, prices in the capital were higher than in surrounding areas, but now the price of charcoal is much lower than in surrounding areas.
The price of charcoal purchased from surrounding areas by people arranged by Yu Shaodong has risen to 300 yuan per 100 kilograms. Now it only sells for 20 yuan in the capital.
Yu Shaodong's place was crowded, and Han Du's place was the same.
People who buy coal are completely crazy. Normally, when buying charcoal, you will find some faults, such as which charcoal is not black enough, which charcoal is too moist, etc., in order to compete with the store on the price.
But now the price of charcoal has dropped to ten cents and one hundred catties, so it’s a waste.
Just grab it.
The mountains of charcoal piled up in the shop were disappearing and decreasing rapidly, like a pile of rice carried by ants. The man was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and he was filling the bag with shovelfuls of coal.
In the past, if people who bought coal saw the man shoveling a small piece of soil close to the bag, they would definitely scold the man loudly, and then quickly reach out and pick out the soil.
But now the people who are buying charcoal stand aside and see the clerk shoveling mud and stones from the ground into bags at will, but they seem to turn a blind eye.
If you buy it, you will earn it. Who cares whether it is soil or not.
The shop was so crowded that even Han Du and Eunuch Lu were squeezed into a small corner, where they drank tea awkwardly around a small coffee table.
Eunuch Lu looked at the hot scene in front of him, which he had never seen in his whole life of doing business. He stretched out his thumb and praised Han Du: "Sir, you are indeed smart. At the current price, I am afraid that the other party will not be able to support it for long. They have not made a sale now. They are all losing blood. Even if we have gold and silver, we can't help but waste it like this. And we can still make a few pennies, but as long as this continues, the other side will be dead..."
What the person on the other side is doing now is not cutting off the flesh and letting out blood. It is simply cutting off the limb and opening the main artery to let the blood flow. No matter how rich Ren Yu Shaodong's Fuqi Trading Company is, it will be dead soon.
