Zhu Biao heard this and sat upright.
He really hasn't had much experience with this business war.
Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao who was so serious and said with a smile:
"It doesn't have to be so formal. It's actually not that complicated. The simpler the method, the more effective it is."
Fake business war: a series of fancy operations, various calculations, and many twists and turns.
Real business war: simple and straightforward, with the final word.
Unfortunately, Su Jing's words had no effect on Zhu Biao, and his attitude was still the same serious and serious.
Su Jing had no choice but to ignore it.
"The current situation, to put it bluntly, is that the other party wants to use a low-price strategy to seize the market. How to solve this problem? There are two general ideas."
Su Jing said slowly: "The first one is hedging. If you surrender, I will surrender too. Let's see who has more food reserves, who has stronger funds, and whose money will be burned out first."
This method was the common idea used by Su Jing's previous companies in money-burning wars.
It's not as good as a certain bicycle or a certain group, which just burns money and subsidizes, kills the opponent, and then reaps the rewards after becoming the dominant one.
"This method is about hard power. There are not so many bells and whistles. The party with stronger funds will eventually win."
Su Jing said lightly.
Zhu Biao recorded it carefully and also raised his own question: "With such a lose-lose approach, if a third party enters, wouldn't it mean that others will take advantage of it?"
Although Zhu Biao does not know the changes in the future, he knows the characteristics of grain.
This is the basis for people's survival.
This is still very different from the money-burning Internet wars of later generations.
The grain market does not need to cultivate users’ consumption habits.
"Yes, Niu Yi, you are thinking rightly."
Su Jing nodded and said: "This is exactly what I want to say. I have actually found out the other party's identity."
"No, I should know without checking, because he had asked someone to look for me long before, but I ignored him."
Zhu Biao was startled and immediately asked: "Who is the opponent?"
Su Jing replied: "Liu's Rice Shop has basically controlled the rice market in several counties around Lishui County."
"As long as I am captured by him, given the current traffic conditions, he will basically have a monopoly."
In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, which easily led to the emergence of merchant monopoly.
Except for businessmen who need to frequently purchase and ship goods, most ordinary people actually stay rooted in a small place throughout their lives.
Unless there is a natural or man-made disaster, they will not move.
This also creates favorable conditions for monopoly.
"Liu's Rice Shop? Then how do they prevent third parties from entering?"
Zhu Biao asked.
Su Jing said calmly: "It's very simple, the government is putting pressure on me."
"Government?"
Zhu Biao was shocked and said in disbelief: "Master Su, this is just your guess, right?"
Under the Ming Dynasty, with such harsh punishments, Zhu Biao didn't really believe that such a thing would happen.
And not long ago, the anti-corruption plan he formulated began to be implemented.
Although it may take some time to reach the county government level, this kind of thing should happen.
Su Jing smiled and said: "Niu Yi, should I say you are naive or innocent? I have no evidence, but your teacher and I have been warned by the government."
"It's just that I have some means, and the other party didn't force me too hard."
In one year, he started from scratch in Lishui County and created this huge business empire.
Even with the help of the system, Su Jing encountered many open and covert attacks.
"To be so bold, these guys are simply lawless!"
Anger suddenly appeared on Zhu Biao's face, and his power as the prince was instantly released.
How far is it from Lishui County to the Forbidden City?
This can be said to be at the feet of the emperor, but there is still such a thing.
This makes Prince Zhu Biao not angry!
"Master Su, don't worry, the students will not let go of such gangsters!"
Zhu Biao said directly to Su Jing that he could no longer bear it.
Su Jing felt the murderous aura emanating from Zhu Biao, and felt a little doubtful in her heart.
I used to suspect that Zhu Biao came from a scholarly family and was rigorous in his studies, but now he has this kind of momentum that cannot be possessed by a scholar.
But he was just confused, not too curious.
No matter how unusual Zhu Biao's identity is, he is also his student.
"Niu Yi, your teacher is not that bad, and it's not your student's turn to stand up for me."
Su Jing said immediately.
When something happens, let the students come forward. Su Jing cannot afford to lose face.
"Master Su, these guys have ruined the reputation of the imperial court! I can't bear it!"
Zhu Biao was still very angry. He just felt that his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, was so diligent and dedicated in fighting for the Ming Dynasty, but these rat droppings ruined the whole pot of porridge.
"If you can't bear it, just bear with me!"
Su Jing said unceremoniously: "I taught you the youthful spirit before, do whatever you want. Today I will teach you another lesson, patience!"
"I know that your family background is extraordinary, and I'm afraid you can even speak to the man in the Forbidden City, but so what?"
"The core target of Liu's rice business now is not you and me, but the common people!"
"I really can't bear it and I will retreat at worst, but do the people have a way to retreat?"
"Now that you've punished them directly, do you think the people behind you will lose their memory?"
"You watch me carefully. If you really want to take action, you have to wait until I teach you a lesson before you do it. Do you understand?"
In fact, Su Jing also hated Liu's Mihang's behavior.
He remained unmoved before, which was actually a way of coping.
The rice produced by Mihang cannot be sold. Over time, it will become stale and the price will fall.
Workers at the rice store still have to pay wages, and warehouses are needed to store the rice, which also involves risks such as mold, spoilage, and rodent infestation.
It can be said that the other party is burning money, and Su Jing is also losing money.
He used this method to keep out Liu Zhaoxiang's methods.
Well, who can't endure it?
Only by completely defeating the opponent through commercial means can others after Liu Zhaoxiang's fall stop thinking the same way.
Otherwise, just by relying on violent means, there will still be people who follow suit, but they will do it more secretly and harder to detect.
"Students know."
Zhu Biao lowered his head. He was not stupid. He understood the meaning of Su Jing's words and knew that he was too hasty.
Su Jing then continued: "Now that the first idea is over, let's talk about the second one, not to engage in a price war with the other party."
"This is the method I use now. Everything is operating normally. If it can't be sold, it won't be sold. Anyway, it's normal business."
"But not engaging in a price war does not mean that nothing can be done."
Su Jing was stunned and said: "Then what else can be done?"
Su Jing said calmly: "Collect food."
"Huh? Master Su, what do you mean by this? Didn't you say before that the other party has taken targeted measures to prevent you from collecting grain?"
Zhu Biao said doubtfully.
Su Jing smiled and said, "I didn't say I would collect food from Liu's Rice Shop. I wanted to collect food from the common people."
Food for the people!
When Zhu Biao heard this, the confusion on his face did not weaken at all: "Master Su, although the price of grain from Liu's Rice Shop has been reduced, the people will not reduce it. Their grain is grown with hard work and is cheap. It definitely won’t be sold.”
"If we really buy it, I'm afraid someone will buy rice from Liu's Rice Store and sell it to us at a high price."
“Even Liu’s Mihang himself would do this!”
Zhu Biao's worries are not unreasonable. Although people are exploited most of the time, this does not mean that they are kind and innocent.
If Su Jing really buys the grain from them, it will still be at a high price, then they can do anything.
"This is the effect I want."
Su Jing said calmly: "I want to collect all the grain on the market, including the surplus in the hands of the people. As for Liu's Rice Shop, if they want to sell it, they will accept it as ordered."
"Then what? If this is the case, wouldn't it require a large amount of funds to be used? It seems that the gain is not worth the loss, Master Su."
Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing, extremely puzzled.
Su Jing asked in return: "What's next? We'll take whatever he pays, and I'll take over whatever he pays. After buying out all his grain, won't the whole thing be self-defeating?"
? ? ?
Zhu Biao was completely dumbfounded. What was the difference between the method Su Jing said and the miracle that happened with great force?
It's like a child playing house, just playing house to the end.
"Master Su, isn't this method a little too crude?"
After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Biao thought of using the word rough.
After all, Su Jing is his teacher, so some words must be said in a different way.
"Rough?"
Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "I remember telling you at the beginning that it's not that complicated."
"I'm stronger than you, why should I give up frontal combat?"
"Two armies are facing each other, and I am crushing them with strength. Taking the right path is always the best choice, and cunning and cunning plots are just for the sake of a comeback."
"Shopping malls are like battlefields, and the truth is the same."
"As the saying goes, one force can defeat ten groups. This is the truth."
Just like the money-burning wars on the Internet in previous lives, all false tricks are useless. You just can't defeat me if you don't have enough funds.
Zhu Biao was still a little confused, because this was different from what he thought.
"What about after defeating Liu's Mihang?"
Zhu Biao asked: "The huge loss of funds used by Master Su for procurement will eventually be passed on to the people?"
Wouldn't this method make Su Jing become the monopolist?
"There is always a price to pay for speculation."
Su Jing said lightly, without explaining anything.
This is the rule of the game. Su Jing has a good heart, but she is not the Virgin.
Liu Zhaoxiang started this "game", and if he accepted it, the people would spontaneously participate in it.
Then, the price that should be borne will eventually have to be borne.
Zhu Biao's eyes were bloodshot. He looked at Su Jing, anger welling up again:
"But isn't this caused by you businessmen? No matter who wins, it will be these people who suffer, and they will always be the losers, right?"
At this time, Zhu Biao seemed to have lost his respect for Su Jing and already had a questioning tone.
Su Jing was very calm and did not refute Zhu Biao. She just said calmly: "Isn't it always like this since ancient times? In prosperity, people suffer. In death, people suffer."
"Do you think that without businessmen like me, people would not be exploited?"
“Taxes, corvees, excessive levies, natural and man-made disasters, even if we are expanding our territory, aren’t the people bearing everything?”
"This is not a businessman's problem, Niu Yi, you'd better know this."
Although what Su Jing did has been quite beneficial to the people.
But when educating Zhu Biao, he didn't mention it at all, and he didn't even bother to mention it.
Well, the people are suffering!
Death, people suffer!
Zhu Biao murmured and repeated Su Jing's words, recalling in his mind the history books he had read.
The rise and fall are only described in a few words in history books.
But what did it mean to the people at that time?
The monarch's great talents and great strategies, his expansion of territory and his far-reaching prestige depended on the hard work and support of countless people.
The monarch is incompetent, addicted to pleasure, and notorious, and countless people suffer.
"Master Su, who is wrong in this world?"
Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing stupidly, trying to find an answer.
Unfortunately, Su Jing did not give him an answer.
"I have no idea."
Su Jing shook her head and said: "Who is right and who is wrong, so what can we do?"
Even in the previous life, this problem was still unresolved.
Advanced productivity is obviously enough to feed several times the population, but people still starve to death every day.
In this world, even after hundreds of years, there is still not much change.
Zhu Biao was silent, feeling that he had been working in vain before.
He has been thinking about the methods and methods Su Jing told him, trying to use them to transform Ming Dynasty for the better.
But now, the facts seemed to tell him that no matter what he did, he couldn't change it.
All this seems like an established fact.
No matter how hard you try, it will all be in vain.
The lonely Zhu Biao lowered his head, like a defeated attack, completely losing his fighting spirit.
"Niu Yi."
Su Jing's voice sounded.
"Master Su."
Zhu Biao raised his head, but his tone was low.
Su Jing said: "Depression is not an emotion that young people should have. Since you want to know the follow-up to this matter, why not watch it yourself?"
"Perhaps, some things will turn out differently than you imagined."
Of course Su Jing knew why Zhu Biao was in a low mood. It was normal for Zhu Biao, who was so worried about the people, to doubt himself when he realized that the people were always just the targets of exploitation.
Su Jing didn't want to say anything more. Some things were more convincing if she saw them with her own eyes.
Although Su Jing teaches Zhu Biaoren to be realistic all day long, in fact, Su Jing also has a place of idealism in his heart.
"Master Su, what do you mean?"
Zhu Biao was a little confused.
Su Jing smiled and said: "It's not interesting, it's just this matter, but you asked me to take care of it. Are you going to give up because of a small setback?"
"At least, we have to see how our master can defeat his opponent."
This is a disciple, how can one be defeated before fighting?
Under the influence of Su Jing's words, Zhu Biao also temporarily buried his low mood.
No matter what, you have to keep moving forward.
Zhu Biao nodded firmly and said, "Yes, Master Su."
