Xi Yaochengfu continued: "There is no other way. The rent and other expenses in Yangtianfang City can only be reduced in order to reduce the cost of materials. However, Feixianfang City is determined to fight a price war with us and has adjusted the price several times. All kinds of expenses have been reduced, and the price of materials has naturally dropped again and again. No one has come to Yangtianfang City for a long time, and the stall owners are clamoring to cancel the rent. What do you think we should do?"
"Chief, you are an old man in the business world. Don't you have any countermeasures?" Zhou Yang asked after pondering for a moment after hearing this.
"The purpose of Feixianfang City is to defeat us and make Yangtianfang City an empty shell, with neither stall owners nor customers. Once they defeat us, they can replace us, and then all kinds of expenses will naturally go up, so Now it's all about consumption, let's see who can consume more in the end." Xi Yaochengfu said.
"That's indeed what happened." Zhou Yang nodded.
"As for business wars, I have experienced it several times, and this method is not new. However, this time it involves three super aristocratic families, as well as several first-class families. They are all masters of conspiracy, so it is very difficult to deal with. Besides, The Tu family and the He family have stronger financial resources than us, and together with Feixian City's main palace, there are only three shareholders.
But we are different. We have seven shares. When the situation is good, it doesn't matter. But once there is a problem in the operation, everyone will have more ideas. No, two companies have already proposed to withdraw their shares. Xi Yao Chengfu said with a frown.
Just now, Zhou Yang also thought about purchasing a large amount of low-priced materials from Feixianfang City, but he kept receiving them until he vomited blood. However, hearing what Xi Yao Chengfu said, it means that people have already thought of this level, and there must be a way to deal with it, so this strategy will not work at all.
"Master, according to what you say, there is nothing we can do?"
"It's difficult." Xi Yaochengfu shook his head.
"Then let's implement zero rent. You only need to pay some management fees. It will be implemented for half a year and we will see after half a year." Zhou Yang had no good idea and gritted his teeth.
"You mean to refund all the rent for the second half of this year? You have to know that some stall owners have paid rent for ten years, so are they all refunded? If after refunding, Yangtianfang City still cannot continue, then What should we do?" Xi Yao Chengfu asked.
"This..." Zhou Yang couldn't answer.
The implication of Xi Yao Chengfu is that even if Yangtianfang City cannot continue to operate, it will not cause much loss to you, Zhou Yang, because you only gave away the land and did not pay any expenses. It is nothing more than not being able to share the dividends.
As for Jianshefang City, they spent a huge amount of spiritual stones. Once it collapsed, a large amount of spiritual stones were returned, and the six of them were the ones who suffered the most losses.
Moreover, the majority of shareholders must agree, but the most important thing is, can they spit out the meat they eat?
"I couldn't think of a good way for a while. By the way, if merchants purchase materials from the market in large quantities, how will they deal with it?"
Zhou Yang really had no choice, but he was determined. Since the price of materials in Feixianfang City was so low, he had to take advantage of anything.
His Yangtian Pavilion and Wangtian Pavilion have several branches.
"First, control the quantity of materials. Their material prices are much lower than Yangtianfang City, but the quantity sold is directly proportional to the price. At the lowest price, the quantity of materials sold is also the lowest. At the highest price, the quantity of materials sold is also The most. Of course, overall, their prices are still lower than ours.
Second, master the buyer’s information. With the strength of the Tu family and the He family, it is not a problem to find out the background of the merchants. If those buyers are related to us, they will never sell.
Third, buy and sell by yourself. The two aristocratic families have countless shops, and they buy and sell in the name of these shops repeatedly, forming a balance in quantity and price, and creating the illusion that the market is hot, so that more stall owners can come.
Fourth, collect rent and various fees on a monthly basis. This has two advantages, one is to spread the low cost, and the other is to control the price of the stall at any time.
Stall owners only need to pay one month's rent to settle in Feixianfang City. It is naturally more cost-effective than paying rent for a year or even longer. At least there must be sufficient liquidity, and the overall cost of stall owners will naturally be lower. .
Doing so can also minimize the losses caused by competition with us. If they can defeat us in one month, then they will raise the rent in the second month, and the loss is only one month's rent.
Fifth, bid. This is also the most powerful move. If there is no problem with the buyer's identity and background, and he also wants to purchase a large amount of low-priced materials, then competitors will appear. The competitors they arrange will make it impossible for you to find any clues.
Competitors will compete with buyers for materials. If you offer one spiritual stone, they will offer two. In short, they will not let you buy a large amount of materials easily. Even if you do, the price will not be too low.
Whether the materials are bought by merchants or by competitors, the transaction volume will increase, and people will think that business in Feixianfang City is booming, and there will be an influx of people. "
Xi Yao Chengfu is worthy of being someone who has spent half his life in the business world. Zhou Yang was dumbfounded by these methods.
But Zhou Yang also heard it. No matter what method it was, the core meaning was that the Tu family and the He family were too powerful, and only those with strength would have more means.
"Damn it, if I can't buy a lot of low-priced materials, I'll break them into pieces and buy them separately!" Zhou Yang gritted his teeth secretly.
But doing so requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and there is also the possibility of being discovered by the two families. But if each person buys 18,000 spirit stones, you can't just check their identities, that will tire them to death!
"Listen to what the chief said, are we really at all helpless?" Zhou Yang said depressedly.
"Well, after doing business for a long time, I will always be afraid of wolves and tigers behind. As the saying goes, it is wrong to calculate carefully, and to think backward and think about everything. The old man just thinks too much, so sometimes he can't let go. Perhaps, this is also why he always thinks about things. Maybe it’s because I can’t break through the realm!” Xi Yao Chengfu sighed.
"There, there, the boss is being polite. Doing business is not like fighting. Just rushing forward won't work. You must have care, consideration, and experience. Without these, how can you do good business!" Zhou Yang waved his hand.
"I think since you asked these questions, do you have any ideas?" Xi Yaochengfu said.
"Oh, after listening to the boss's words, I realized that my thoughts were simple." Zhou Yang sighed.
"I think your idea is not wrong, and your business is small. Once it is done, there may be holes to exploit. I can't wait any longer. The goal is too big, and everyone will pay attention to every word and deed." Xi Yao Chengfu said again. road.
Zhou Yang listened quietly.
