This time Zhang Yu was like five thunders striking his head. As long as the thief manages his own business, other companies will not be able to compete with him. They don't use any tricks or official power, they can crush their opponents to death just by using price and quality. Let's just say that a few years ago, Dongzhu Guo started to sell various Australian rough papers. In the city and outside the city, there were almost no papermakers or paper sellers, except those who sold paper products for study rooms because Australians did not make these things. One survived and most went bankrupt. Even if it barely survives, it can only rely on the distribution of "Australian paper".
This is okay, because the shops selling paper do not produce paper themselves. Australian paper dumping will destroy the paper-making workshops and wholesale paper shops. The small retail shops can still make a living, and even make better profits than in the past. The problem is that walnut cakes are produced and sold locally. If Australian tea shops also sell walnut cakes at a lower price than them, small shops like theirs will close down in an instant.
"Mom, don't worry." Zhang Yu suppressed the fear in his heart, "We are a century-old store, and everyone recognizes this brand. So what if the price is lower?"
"Yu'er, you don't know something." Mother frowned, "I can't get much business from the retail sales. I'm just afraid of the teahouse business..."
Zhangjia Shop’s Walnut Cake, Tea House is a great place to go. His walnut cake is somewhat famous in this area. Most of the nearby teahouses use his products. Although it doesn't make a lot of money, it is fixed interest income, which is very important for the survival of the small store.
The teahouse is a wholesale business. It doesn't matter the distance. As long as it is "cheap and good", Australians can win this business. If this is the case, my own shop will not be able to survive!
To put it bluntly, Zhang Yu was anxious. This really sucks the fire out of the pot!
The thief is so hateful! He couldn't help but clenched his fists, but he was at a loss. What should he do? Of course, Kun Thief didn't like his small shop, and he probably didn't even know there was such a shop in Guangzhou. So what kind of tea shop do they open? Could it be that they want to sell "Australian tea food"? Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea. By the way, Australian tea food and Ming Dynasty tea food must be different. Dad had already said that the food customs were different. It's different a hundred miles away. Australia is thousands of miles away overseas, so it's not necessarily possible to make walnut cakes exactly like theirs.
Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved. She comforted her mother and said, "Mom, don't worry. I have a senior who is very familiar with Australian things. I'll go find him and find out if there is such an Australian tea shop and what it sells."
He changed his clothes for going out. He ran out quickly. Opposite his house is a tofu shop. The owner's daughter is one year older than him. She is fair and fair. She often helps sell tofu in the shop. The two often look at each other. They are both young and can't help but frown. Every time at home Zhang Yu rushed to buy tofu. When the girl handed him the tofu, her hand stayed in his for a while.
The girl saw him coming out of the shop. Zheng Maimai looked over affectionately, but saw that his butt was burning, and he ran over without even looking at this place. I couldn't help but secretly spit.
He ran straight to the social school. Sure enough, Wu Dai was still in social studies at this moment, sitting in the corridor and talking with a few seniors. When he saw this student who had left before noon running back, he kept winking. Knowing that he had something urgent to talk to him, he said He said, "Come as soon as you go." He walked over slowly.
Before Zhang Yu could speak, Wu Ji's fan had already hit him on the head with a loud bang:
"You bastard, you've been skipping school all day! Let's see if the teacher doesn't spank you when he comes back." Wu Dai said with a smile. Although they are teachers and students. On weekdays, they are considered classmates, and there is no such thing as the dignity of a teacher.
Zhang Yu had no intention of joking with him, so he grabbed his wrist and pulled him aside, saying urgently: "I have something to do!"
"Huh? I don't see you being so anxious even if you pass the exam on weekdays..." Wu Ji straightened his sleeves. "Say, what's the matter?"
"Senior, I know you have always studied at Kun University. Does Kun Tai have a tea shop? Do you sell walnut cakes?"
Wu Ji was confused for a moment and said vaguely: "Absolutely."
"Is it there or not?" Zhang Yu was so anxious that his eyes were red.
Wu Ji didn't know why this junior suddenly became interested in Kun Thief's tea and food. Seeing that he was anxious, they comforted him and said, "Speak slowly if you have something to say. Why are you asking this?"
He then told everything he had heard from his mother.
"...As long as the thief Kun can handle the business, no one can continue to do it," he said nervously, "What should I do? My family relies on this shop to make a living."
This stumped Wu Ji. Yuyuan Society specializes in the study of Kun studies, but has never studied the "tea and food" of Kun thieves. But one thing is certain: if Kun Thief also opens a tea shop, the price will definitely be cheaper than that of his junior brother's house. Moreover, Australian tea shops, needless to say, are the same as Ziji. They only pay normal taxes, and they will not pay a penny for all kinds of "donations" and omissions. This is an advantage compared to my junior brother's shop.
Wu Ji opened the fan, shook it a few times, and suddenly smiled: "What are you afraid of? Walnut cakes are cheap. Your shop is in the city, and the world is outside the city. Who would pay for a piece of walnuts?" Why did Su go so far to buy it? No matter how cheap he sells it, it’s still money for his labor. Besides, yours is a century-old store: the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but Australian stores don’t have this reputation."
"Senior, you are right. But I am afraid that they will take away Chaju's business. This is a big business. As long as he lowers the price, Chaju will go there to buy goods. No more My shop can’t support the large-scale business!”
"So that's it!" Wu Ji slapped his fan on his thigh and said excitedly, "This economic method is really interesting! Australians will never deceive me!"
There was a look of disappointment on Zhang Yu's face. He didn't understand "economic principles" or anything like that, but he could see that Senior Wu didn't have any tricks up his sleeve.
Just when he was discouraged, Wu Ji suddenly said: "I have an idea. Isn't this big world looking for investment? I think you can just move your shop to the big world? Since it is the territory of the Australians, those bad rules and miscellaneous goods You don’t have to pay anymore, wouldn’t it be wonderful!”
Zhang Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "Senior, you just said: Who would go out of the city to buy a piece of walnut cake? The business of a small shop like ours is the business of neighbors in a few streets. If we move to the big world, these The old business is all gone..." Seeing this, he knew that Wu Ji couldn't come up with any clever ideas, so he said dejectedly: "I'll find someone to inquire about it."
"Don't be anxious." Wu Ji said, "It just so happens that I have a good friend who came from Lingao not long ago. How about I take you to meet him. He has lived in Lingao for a long time, and the Australians know the situation best."
"That's great!" Zhang Yu bowed to the end, "Senior, please take my younger brother quickly."
Wu Ji was a warm-hearted person, so he immediately asked for leave from school and led Zhang Yu to Huang Henkun's place.
After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Huang Xunkun sighed and said, "It's true! The thief Kun's clutches have reached Guangzhou Mansion!"
This "someone's clutches" is a rhetoric commonly used by Australians. Huang Hankun was so impressed by it that he also learned it.
"Brother Huang..." Wu Ji said, winking at him: This little brother is in a hurry, so don't sigh too much when you come.
"When it comes to tea restaurants, Lingao has something to offer." Huang Hankun said, "I have never seen walnut cakes." He paused, "But I have never been good at this kind of thing. Maybe there is, I have never seen it. …”
Zhang Yu almost cried: What kind of answer is this?
Huang Hankun hesitated for a moment and then said: "Actually, this little brother doesn't need to be anxious. When a thief does things, those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. As long as you follow him, there will always be room for you. I see this It was probably the same thing next time.”
"how do I say this?"
"From what I have seen and heard, the thieves hate the business of small workshops. Everything must be gathered into a big factory. So if they want to open a tea shop this time, they must open a big tea factory..."
Zhang Yu's face turned pale. He couldn't imagine what this big tea and food factory looked like, but if there were a lot more walnut cakes on the market, he would have to cut the price and lose all his money - his family couldn't afford it.
"...But they always leave a way for the people to survive. When the time comes, they will probably set up some kind of 'cooperative', ask you to join the 'joint venture', divide you into small shares, and ask you to work in the factory. Not to mention, make a living. It’s probably not a problem for the family to have enough food and clothing.”
"This is annexation!" Zhang Yu shouted, "My family is a century-old shop with a golden name. How can I join a 'joint venture'?"
Huang Hankun looked at Zhang Yu and shook his head sadly: "Little brother, you don't know how vicious the thief is. Although I have never eaten your walnut cake, if the thief wants to do it, he will definitely not do it better than yours." It’s poorly made—probably far better than it, and the price is at most the same, what can you do?”
"So, you just have to hang your head and wait for death?" Zhang Yu's face turned pale, and he already thought of the former classmate who was making a joke in the Xianggong's hall.
Seeing his dejected expression, Wu Dai knew that this matter was of great concern to him, so he thought that instead of saying a few indifferent words to comfort him, it would be better to take a more direct approach. sidewalk:
"Don't be anxious. Since the Australians are recruiting business now, how about you and I go to the big world tomorrow to see it? If the Australians have tea shops and whether they make walnut cakes, you will know in person if you ask them. It's better than you doing this for no reason. Wouldn’t it be better to be anxious?”
Zhang Yu thought that this was all he could do, and said in frustration, "That's fine."
Huang Kunkun couldn't bear it in his heart and said: "Finally, the Kun thieves still have some conscience, so they won't kill them all. That's it, I will go with you tomorrow. Let's see if there are any real Kuns. I will also say a few Australian Kuns, okay. Ask him in person." (To be continued.) xh211
