Liyang County is next door to Lishui County.
Inside Liu's rice shop, a middle-aged man was smiling and very proud.
On the side, a young man asked in confusion: "Dad, my son doesn't understand why we have to lower the price of rice so much. Even if it is to deal with the man named Su, there is no need to do it to this extent, right? "
"Jia Sheng, you don't understand. The person named Su is very powerful and must be killed with one blow, otherwise he will resurface and become a big problem again."
Liu Zhaoxiang glanced at his son Liu Jiasheng and said calmly.
Liu Jiasheng said indifferently: "Dad, didn't this person named Su suddenly appear more than a year ago? How strong can he be?"
"Our Liu family's rice business was before the Ming Dynasty."
Before Liu Jiasheng finished speaking, Liu Zhaoxiang immediately glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're not keeping your mouth shut, are you? Shut up!"
"Dad, this is our business and there's no one else, so what's the big deal with you?"
Liu Jiasheng was a little aggrieved, perhaps because he was young and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
Liu Zhaoxiang glanced at Liu Jiasheng and said: "Jiasheng, be careful and you won't make a big mistake. I've seen it with my own eyes, you, Dad. It's not easy to build up our family's foundation. I don't want it to be passed down yet." It’s gone in your hands.”
Obviously, Liu Zhaoxiang's family history is not so legitimate.
In fact, if you think about it, except for special cases like Su Jing, at this time point of the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, how could a businessman of a certain scale be so clean?
In troubled times, villains emerge, and the same is true in shopping malls.
"Dad, I understand."
Liu Jiasheng lowered his head and did not continue to argue.
But if he said he was convinced, he would be succumbing to his father's majesty, but he was still unconvinced in his heart.
There is no way, this Liu's Rice Shop has a deep foundation in Liyang County, and there are also many branches in several nearby counties.
There is only one Lishui County that has never been accessible.
Liu Zhaoxiang has always been covetous of the market in Lishui County, not only because he wants to fill the vacancy in Lishui County, but also because the people in Lishui County are the richest in several nearby counties.
If you have money, your spending power will be high, and this business will naturally make more money.
"Dad, if we keep selling at such a low price every day for a long time, no matter how rich our family is, we won't be able to survive it!"
Liu Jiasheng asked with a puzzled look.
Liu's Rice Shop is indeed very rich. It can open such a large business. It can be regarded as the number one big business in this area.
However, with the current selling price of rice, even a dabbler like Liu Jiasheng can tell that something is wrong.
"Don't worry, when Lishui County is also taken over by me, then my Liu family will have the final say on the price of rice in the surrounding areas. I can make back whatever money I have by then."
Liu Zhaoxiang said very confidently.
Seize the market first, and when one company becomes dominant, it will have a monopoly position, and it will become easier to control market prices.
Of course, Liu Zhaoxiang also knew something about Su Jing, and Su Jing was not easily defeated.
But this time, he had a very cheap source of food, so he dared to make up his mind to take action against Su Jing.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident.
However, Liu Zhaoxiang, who knew his son's temperament well, would not tell him such a head-turning thing.
This time, the risks are high, but the rewards are just as great.
Liu Jiasheng frowned and said, "Dad, my son still doesn't understand. This guy surnamed Su has withdrawn from the market in Lishui County. How come we have control over the price of rice?"
"Don't these common people grow their own food? Our rice is too expensive, so they won't buy it from us."
Farmers are still the mainstream of this era.
Most people can't afford to buy food.
Liu Zhaoxiang said calmly: "Jiasheng, you really should go to Lishui County and take a look."
"Dad, what do you mean? Why should I go to Lishui County? There is no rice shop there."
Liu Jiasheng asked puzzledly.
Liu Zhaoxiang explained: "The people in Lishui County are quite wealthy. There are many small handicraft merchants, but not so many grain growers. If we lower the price of grain like this, what do you think the people who grow grain will think?"
"have no idea."
Liu Jiasheng shook his head without even thinking about it.
Liu Zhaoxiang sighed, but still said patiently: "People see that the price of food in the market is low and other things are profitable, will they grow less food? Planting mulberry and hemp, isn't it more profitable than growing food? Anyway, food The price is low, just buy it if you don’t have it.”
"By then, food prices will naturally rise."
After hearing this, Liu Jiasheng finally understood.
"Okay, dad, I've long disliked the guy named Su. If you hadn't stopped me and prevented me from finding someone to do him, how could he have thrived so far?"
Liu Jiasheng said with an arrogant look, as if killing Su Jing was as simple as killing an ant.
Liu Zhaoxiang looked at his son and shook his head helplessly.
He only wants to solve everything violently, and there is no calculation at all that a businessman should have.
Alas, I can only think of ways to work hard on my wife and strive to have another son.
Otherwise, Liu Zhaoxiang would not be very relieved if Liu's Rice Shop would be handed over to Liu Jiasheng in the future.
"Okay, don't do those little tricks that don't go on the stage. Businessmen's matters should be resolved in a businessman's way."
Liu Zhaoxiang said lightly, not intending to say anything more to his silly son.
All he thinks about now is that Su Jing couldn't bear it anymore and had to give up the market in Lishui County.
By then you will be able to make a lot of money.
Lishui County.
Su Jing still taught Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru as usual.
Today, Zhu Rui's progress in probability is much faster, as if he has been enlightened.
Su Jing was not surprised, because he was also this type of student back then.
Zhu Biao spent all day reading history books and comparing them with history to study the methods Su Jing mentioned before and think about the feasibility and room for change.
It seems that everything is not much different from before.
The only difference may be that in addition to teaching, Su Jing will receive news from some subordinates from time to time.
The price of rice in Lishui County continues to fall, and more and more people feel that something is wrong.
"Master Su, the price of rice seems to have dropped very quickly recently."
Su Jing handed over the shopping at home to Zhu Biao very early.
Although I don’t cook much at home, I still have to prepare some rice.
"Well, not bad, it's been five days in a row, and it's almost catching up with the purchase price."
Su Jing replied calmly.
Seeing Su Jing so calm and Yang Zi, Zhu Biao couldn't help but asked: "Master Su, don't you open the largest rice store in Lishui County, Ping An Rice Store? I went to ask specifically today. Now the entire Lishui County Mihang, we are the only ones who still sell it at the normal price, but now there is no one to buy it, and no one buys it at all.”
"What's wrong? If no one buys it, no one will buy it. What does it matter?"
Su Jing said with a smile: "It's not like I only have one rice business, even if I can't sell a grain of rice in a year, I can still afford it."
Su Jing didn't pay attention to Liu Zhaoxiang's attack this time.
He wasn't even trying to deal with it.
Lower prices to squeeze out the market, force out rivals, then form a monopoly, and then harvest leeks.
Such routines were commonplace in Su Jing's previous life.
But what's the point for him?
Liu Zhaoxiang may really be a big boss in the grain industry. Compared with Su Jing, Ping An Rice Shop is nothing.
But Su Jing is not in a single industry, so he is not panic at all.
Just boil it and see how much you have enough to burn it.
This market competition method is quite expensive.
Zhu Biao listened to Su Jing's words and understood Su Jing's attitude at this time, but he was still puzzled:
"But Master Su, someone is obviously targeting you. This person's purpose is probably to drive you out of the grain industry, and then raise the price of rice and harvest the people."
"Master Su, how can you remain indifferent to such a thing?"
Su Jing was a little surprised when she heard Zhu Biao's words.
These days, I have focused my main energy on Zhu Zhu, but I have neglected to pay attention to Zhu Biao.
"You can see it very clearly."
Su Jing praised: "Then tell me, how does the other party want to target me by doing this."
Originally, Su Jing didn't care. He did whatever the other party liked, but his apprentice mentioned it. Isn't this just a lesson?
Zhu Biao said: "Now the other party has lowered the price for five consecutive days. The purpose should be to make you feel a sense of crisis. If you don't lower the price, no one will buy it. This storage and personnel need money to support it."
"If you lower the price, they will continue to lower it, and you will have no choice but to follow up, and you will still lose money in the end."
“In the end, we were unable to make ends meet and withdrew from the grain market.”
Listening to Zhu Biao's words, Su Jing asked: "What next?"
Then?
Zhu Biao was stunned and didn't understand what Su Jing meant.
Su Jing could only continue to ask: "What are the characteristics of the market that I told you before?"
"Blindness, spontaneity and lag!"
Zhu Biao answered quickly, and he remembered these things clearly.
Su Jing nodded and said: "Okay, then analyze and analyze, what is the connection between these three characteristics and the other party's actions this time?"
Zhu Biao suddenly fell silent and began to think.
It didn't take long before his eyes lit up and he said: "This has something to do with farmers growing food! When the price of rice decreases, the purchase price of food will naturally decrease, and farmers' enthusiasm for growing food will decrease."
“That way there will be fewer farmers growing food next year!”
"At that time, Master Su will also withdraw from the market, and they will really just hoard it casually!"
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao's face became a little more angry and said: "These hateful guys are simply vicious!"
Zhu Biao analyzed it very seriously, and Su Jing nodded and said: "There is basically no problem. It seems that you have a thorough understanding of this problem. So how do you think I should deal with it?"
Zhu Biao only paused for a moment, and then immediately said: "Master Su's current cold-handling method is very good. No matter how much the other party lowers the price, he doesn't panic, so that the other party will have two ideas."
"The first is that you think Master Su is just bluffing, and you just need to continue to be demoted. You will soon be unable to bear it."
"The second is that they are murmuring in their hearts, not sure how long Master Su can last, and are in chaos."
"No matter which one, in the long run, Su Jing will have the advantage."
Su Jing smiled and said: "Since you know everything, why do you want to persuade me? Anyway, I will definitely be the one who wins in the end."
Zhu Biao didn't know all of Su Jing's properties in Lishui County, but he still knew most of the ones that made money.
He knew that with Su Jing's financial resources, any actions of the other party could be ignored.
But he still spoke to Su Jing.
"Master Su, students know that Master Su doesn't matter, but students think that such businessmen only want to harvest the people and have impure thoughts. Master Su just simply remains unchanged and adapts to all changes, which is a little too advantageous for them."
Zhu Biao said seriously: "So, the student begs Master Su to take action to punish these vicious businessmen."
After all, it is for the people.
Zhu Biao still persists in his concern for the people.
Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said, "It's not impossible, but I want to test you. What do you think is the best punishment?"
The advantage is mine, I have plenty of firepower.
There are many ways to defeat the opponent's offensive, but Su Jing still wants to see Zhu Biao's methods.
Zhu Biao just thought about it briefly and then replied: "Buy the low-priced grain offered by the other party, collect as much as you can, and make the other party afraid until they have no grain to sell."
From Zhu Biao's point of view, this method is impossible for the opponent who can directly hit him.
As for the large amount of food stored by the other party, it was completely useless in front of Su Jing's funds.
Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Do you think the other party will not consider that I will respond like this?"
Zhu Biao's thoughts were very good, but how could an opponent who could use such means have no means of prevention?
Zhu Biao was stunned, while Su Jing said: "In fact, I sent people to try to buy it from the beginning. Although the other party sold at a reduced price, they restricted the amount that each person could buy, and they also needed to sign. The formalities for drawing a deposit.”
"Once violations are discovered, the purchase qualification will be cancelled. Although it is troublesome, there are still many people buying it because of the low price."
"Moreover, many of the customers who come to buy are his own, just left hand instead of right hand."
Even though Su Jing was sitting firmly in the military tent, it seemed like she had done nothing.
But the matter of testing the enemy's situation and finding out the situation has already been arranged.
Liu's Mi Xing did have some tricks, but it was just a little bit, not much.
"The other party actually has such a method. It's because the students were careless."
Zhu Biao lowered his head to admit his mistake, and said with a more solemn expression: "But the other party has thought so carefully, it seems that he is bound to win!"
Su Jing said lightly: "So, do you have any other ideas?"
Zhu Biao was a little confused at this time.
Although he has learned a lot, he has not practiced much.
"Master Su, please teach me."
After all, he had to say this, Zhu Biao bowed towards Su Jing.
Su Jing was a little helpless. She kept doing it again and again, but why did she always keep doing this?
But Zhu Biao is very sincere, sincerity is the best nirvana!
Having no choice, Su Jing sighed slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll teach you how to deal with him."
