Jiang Quan didn't understand Shen Luzhu's words and asked confusedly: "Cousin, what is a group purchase?"
Shen Luzhu rolled his eyes and replied: "We can hold an event. As long as the amount purchased is large enough, the transaction can be done at a cheaper price. However, sometimes not everyone can buy a lot at once. , then several people can be allowed to come together and buy separately, that is also okay, so that we can sell more, and the people who come to buy paper money will also get benefits, killing three birds with one stone!"
As Shen Luzhu spoke, he gestured at Chu Yi with three fingers and shook them.
Jiang Quan scratched his hair and asked, "Cousin, why are you killing three birds with one stone? This... we and the people who buy paper money are killing two birds with one stone, aren't we?"
"Really? But I think your cousin is three! If you don't believe me, ask your cousin, is it three?"
Jiang Quan then turned to Chu Yi, his face full of curiosity: "Cousin?"
Chu Yi looked at his wife who was humming strange tunes and wandering around the house cleaning the shop because she was happy, and smiled helplessly!
The paper money that was secretly shipped out was only sold in Uncle Chu's shop for a few days before it hit the bottom. Fortunately, the newly bought paper money has been shipped to the house, but the price can no longer be the same as it was in the past few days. .
Those sold in the past few days were all bought without capital. No matter what price Wang set, they would always make a profit. But now it is not possible. The purchase price of the new batch is higher than the price she sold before. If you keep selling like that, you won’t have to pay for it!
"Ms. Li, all the paper money today is sold at the price of Chu Yi's shop, do you hear me?"
Li didn't know the twists and turns in the paper money that Wang got. She just heard that the price would be the same as the price at the old house. She was a little puzzled: "Mom, are we going to raise the price? Our family is just because of the competition. The old house was so cheap that it attracted a lot of people. Now that the price goes back, will it be..."
Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes at Mrs. Li. She didn't know what happened since Mrs. Li returned to the village to live with her family. Why did she feel that Mrs. Li was really getting worse day by day? Why did she choose a girl for Aren in the first place? Such a daughter-in-law might as well find someone like Mr. Shen, who can at least earn money!
"If you are told to go up, you will go up. How come there is so much nonsense! Before, didn't those things before have no capital in them? Can they be compared with the ones now?"
Just as he was talking, two aunts from the same village entered the door of Uncle Chu's shop. Seeing this, Mrs. Li hurriedly greeted them: "Auntie, what do you two want to buy?"
"We are here to buy copper coins to burn paper and paper ingots. I want three copper coins to burn paper and ten paper ingots!"
Another lady also echoed: "Me too, me too, it's the same!"
Mrs. Li wrapped the paper money for the two of them and handed it over: "Ma'am, take it, it's one hundred and forty yuan per person!"
Hearing this, the aunt who spoke first put the paper money in her hand back on the counter: "I said, wife of the Chu family, did you settle the bill? How could it be one hundred and forty cents? !」
Mrs. Li silently calculated it again in her heart, and confirmed that it was still one hundred and forty cents. Then she said again: "That's right, aunt, one copper coin can be used to burn paper for thirty cents, a paper ingot can cost five cents, and three swords can be used to burn paper." Plus ten paper ingots, it’s exactly one hundred and forty coins!”
"What!" When the other lady heard this, she quickly put down the paper money in her hand, looked at her companion who came with her and asked, "Her aunt, didn't you say that this place is cheap? A knife of copper coins and paper only costs 20 cents. Paper ingots cost three cents each! This is not the case either!"
The aunt who spoke first did indeed say this to her companion. The two of them came here together, but it turned out to be different from what she said at the beginning. The aunt was a little embarrassed and kept asking: "What's wrong with your family?" What's going on! Yesterday, my daughter bought it at your house, which cost twenty coins for burning paper and three coins for paper ingots. She told me specifically when she got back, why did you just sit there and raise the price as soon as we came here?"
Ms. Li hurriedly explained: "This was originally the price, but today it has returned to the original price!"
"Then why, why did you sell it so cheaply yesterday and raise the price today? You didn't tell us that the price was going to increase today! If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have bothered to come to your house. Did Chu say that before we went? Home
The shop is so convenient. It still requires a lot of walking. I don’t care. You have to give me yesterday’s price today! "
Mrs. Wang was originally counting the paper money and didn't intend to interrupt, but when she heard that the person actually wanted to cheat and take advantage of her, Ms. Wang couldn't sit still for a moment: "Yesterday was yesterday, today is today, who knows?" Because you didn’t catch up with yesterday’s price, there were only so many cheap ones, and they were all sold out yesterday, so today we can only sell them at this price!”
When the second aunt heard what Wang said, she stretched out her hand and pushed the two packets of paper money further on the counter: "Then who is buying it at your house! Buying ten of their paper ingots is ten cents cheaper, let's go !」
When Wang heard this, she remembered that it seemed that Shen and the others had always said that buying ten paper ingots would equal forty cents. But if this was the case, then she would have to earn ten cents less. But it seems The two of them were about to leave. If they didn't sell, they wouldn't be able to make a penny. Not to mention, they gave Shen two sales for free. That was not possible. They gritted their teeth and said, "Okay, okay, let's go." , this paper ingot will also be given to you forty cents and ten head offices!"
"That's right, ma'am, you have already come here, why don't you go to the other end again? It's the same price. You can't buy it anywhere, so why bother yourself!" Ms. Li also gave timely advice.
Seeing Wang's determination, the two of them thought about it and realized that they really didn't want to go through the trouble again, so they agreed that the price was the same. On this Qingming Festival, they couldn't help but buy paper money: "Okay, I'll buy it at your house. Bar!"
There are not many people coming and going in the shop every day, and there are all kinds of people. Wang and Li only regarded this incident as a minor incident, but they did not expect that there would be a follow-up in the afternoon. .
This morning, the number of people who came to Uncle Chu's shop to buy paper money was obviously much less than in the previous few days. Mrs. Wang was a little guilty and muttered in her heart: "It's not like those two wanted to take advantage of us in the morning and went out to deliberately smear us." Come on, why are so few people coming to buy paper money today?"
Li thought it was not impossible: "Why don't we make it cheaper, Auntie? There must be something to attract them and snatch people away from the old house in order to earn more money. People like this can't do it now." Too little!"
"It's cheaper, why is it cheaper? If it's cheaper, just give it away, why sell it!"
Just as he was talking, he saw two people entering his shop aggressively, seemingly carrying something. If you look carefully, you can see that they are the two people who bought paper money here in the morning! ..
In the morning, the two ladies entered the shop and threw the paper money they were carrying on the counter. Without a word of nonsense, they said directly: "Refund!"
Mrs. Li was a little confused by the situation in front of her: "Auntie, what's going on?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong! I asked you why you were kind enough to think about it for us this morning, and even offered to lower the price because you were worried about us having to worry about it. It turned out that you were just trying to trick us, waiting to rip us off! Give us our money back quickly, we don't want it. You are so worthless!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was immediately angry: "Who deceived you! Who ripped you off! Didn't we give you ten cents cheaper? You didn't think it was expensive at that time, and you took everything home now." You come here again and insist on refunding the money, how can there be any sense in this!"
"Ha! You had the nerve to say that you gave us ten cents cheaper! Even though you were ten cents cheaper, it's still the same price as others, which is so different from their group purchase prices! And you said you weren't trying to trick us!"
"Yes, over there, as long as two people can buy twenty knives of burning paper together, then it will be calculated as twenty-five cents per dollar. If two people can buy forty paper ingots together, then it will be calculated as thirty-five cents. It costs ten dollars! It’s much cheaper than yours!”
"What!" Mrs. Wang couldn't believe her ears, what was Ms. Shen going to do! It was so much cheaper all at once, but it was stuck at the same price as what she bought it for. How could they sell it?
Although Mrs. Li didn't know how much money Wang had and who got the paper money, but when she heard the price at the old house, she knew it was a very low price. She really couldn't figure out what the price was at the old house. What do you want to do? If you sell well, why do you suddenly have to make so much less money?
"Auntie, are you kidding me? They are crazy. They are so cheap all of a sudden! Besides, there are several families who can buy ten knives for burning paper and twenty paper ingots at one time. Isn't that right?
It's just a gimmick to fool people! "
The aunt felt that Li's words were like saying that they had no brains, and she was a little reluctant: "Who are you kidding me? There are a lot of people queuing up in front of the shop to buy. This stuff doesn't break down. Whose family is it?" You are not allowed to use more than twenty or thirty knives all year round! My boss is an open person, unlike some people!"
Another aunt also said: "You don't care whether we can buy that much or not! Anyway, they are much more cost-effective than yours, so stop being so annoying and give us our money back!"
"Yes, refund the money quickly, refund the money!"
Mrs. Wang was so shocked by this sudden situation that she didn't want to believe that she had just purchased the goods and had not yet made any money. Shen's side had already started to cut prices. Wasn't this going to kill her?
Ignoring the two people who were still entangled with Mrs. Li, Mrs. Wang stumbled towards the door and ran all the way to the outside of the old house. She saw that just as the two people just said, there was indeed a queue in front of Shen's shop. There were a lot of people coming to buy paper money. Compared with the condition of their shop, it was like heaven and earth!
Wang moved closer and looked into the shop, only to see Shen Luzhu talking to a younger daughter-in-law!
"Brothers and sisters of the Chu family, these ten pieces of burning paper are really too much. My family won't be able to use them up in a while. Besides, I can't find anyone else to do group shopping with me in a while. How about you look at it? Let’s see if you can sell me less at this price?”
Shen Luzhu smiled at the man: "No, sister-in-law, only when the volume of our activities increases can we calculate the lowest group purchase price, otherwise we will lose money! But I have two ways, why not Shall I tell you something?"
"Okay, sister-in-law, tell me what else you can do?"
"This is the first way. If my sister-in-law can't find anyone to buy with me for a while, I can help you find someone and put it together for this second way. My sister-in-law can also just buy seven knives of copper coins. Burning paper is still calculated at the original price, but I can give my sister-in-law an extra knife, which is equivalent to bringing back eight dollars of burning paper for seven dollars. This way, although it is not as cheap as a group purchase, it is still cheaper than before. That’s a lot!”
The young woman thought about it for a while and felt that if the difference was only two dollars, it would be more appropriate to participate in a group purchase: "Then I'd better ask my sister-in-law to help me find someone to buy with me!"
Shen Luzhu smiled, turned around and asked Chu Yi to help wrap ten copper coins in burning paper and twenty paper ingots: "Okay, since sister-in-law, you are so open-minded, then I will be happy, sister-in-law, take the things away first, I Even if you find another person, you can hook up with me when you come back. If you can’t hook up with me, I’ll give it to my sister-in-law according to what I hooked up with you. Do you think this is okay?”
"That's a great feeling. Thank you so much, sister-in-law!"
The business in the shop was in full swing when suddenly someone rushed in screaming from outside: "No selling! No buying! You are not allowed to lower the price!"
