Chapter 148 Under the Price War
In the evening, Zhang Zuofu met the mysterious man again.
The mysterious man said that he still had a batch of century-old ginseng on hand, no more, no less, 50,000 plants.
Zhang Zuofu negotiated the price with the mysterious man on behalf of the four businesses, and the mysterious man was very happy and made a lot of concessions.
In the end, the price was settled at three-and-a-half cents per cent-year-old ginseng plant and a lower grade spiritual stone.
However, you must pay with one hand and receive the goods with the other!
This price is really attractive!
If you buy this batch of goods, the cost will be shared equally with the previous batch of goods.
The purchase price for each century-old ginseng plant will be reduced to three cents, seven cents and five cents.
This gave Zhang Zuofu and others enough confidence to start a price war with Sanjiu Company.
In Shilipufang City, the normal demand for century-old ginseng is only around 50,000 plants.
But if the price is cheap enough and a false fire is created, it is not impossible that the monks are willing to pay for 100-year-old ginseng to store it and increase the demand to 100,000 ginseng!
After this crisis, the monks have enough inventory on hand, and the demand for century-old ginseng will drop to freezing point.
According to Zhang Zuofu's estimation, there will be no market for ginseng for at least half a year or more.
In other words, if the operation is done well, the batch of century-old ginseng from Sanjiu Company will last for at least half a year.
Half a year has placed a heavy burden on the capital chain.
Haha, Zhang Zuofu believes that when the time comes, he will have enough means to cause trouble to Sanjiu Company, completely rupture his cash flow, and die without a burial place.
Therefore, from now on, this game is no longer about making money, it is all about overthrowing Sanjiu Company.
The premise of all this is to reduce the average purchase price of century-old ginseng to three cents, seven cents and five cents, which is lower than the purchase price of Sanjiu Store, so as to seize the initiative.
Therefore, the second batch must be eaten.
Fifty thousand century-old ginseng plants, each worth three-and-a-half points of low-grade spiritual stones, which means 17,500 low-grade spiritual stones are needed.
Even if Zhang Zuofu and others were killed, they wouldn't be able to produce so many spiritual stones now.
However, the four of them are also ruthless people. They jointly went to Ping An Bank and used Weifu Company, Hengrui Company, Kangmei Company, and Fosun Company as collateral to loan out 17,500 Xiapinling.
stone.
After purchasing the second batch of century-old ginseng, Zhang Zuofu and others immediately gained confidence and launched a vigorous price war with Sanjiu Company.
This time, their momentum was astonishing, and the price they offered was astonishing.
Centennial ginseng, each plant contains three thirds and eight lower grade spiritual stones.
This price is like a sharp blade, piercing directly into the heart of Sanjiu Company.
Sanjiu Trading Company's purchase price is three-nine points of low-grade spiritual stone for each century-old ginseng plant.
If he sells it at a price of three-eight cents, he will lose one low-grade spiritual stone for every plant he sells.
Sell one plant and lose one plant. Sanjiu Company will not do such stupid things.
As expected, Sanjiu Trading Company ceased operations, and all the monks were attracted by Zhang Zuofu's ultra-low prices.
Countless monks flocked to the place and rushed to buy it.
By late at night and early in the morning, when the four shops closed down, more than 10,000 century-old ginseng plants had been sold.
Zhang Zuofu estimates that within seven or eight days at most, the 100,000 century-old ginseng plants they have will be sold out.
By that time, Sanjiu Company will have no choice but to die.
That night, Zhang Zuofu slept very comfortably.
He dreamed that Sanjiu Trading Company was bankrupt and closed down, and his mortal enemy Wei Tai knelt at his feet, crying bitterly and begging him to show his kindness.
In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shone through the window, and Zhang Zuofu woke up smiling from his dream.
"Hahaha, Wei Tai, you are what you are today. What qualifications do you have to compete with the children of our aristocratic family? You should die!"
Before Zhang Zuofu could finish laughing, Su Yusheng rushed into the room in a hurry, looking anxious and even a little worried.
"It's a blessing, it's bad, it's bad! Early this morning, Sanjiu Store also lowered its price. Their price is even more exaggerated. Each century-old ginseng only costs three and a half cents."
"What?" Zhang Zuofu was shocked and turned pale. He jumped up. He didn't care about washing up or showing off his demeanor. He rushed out in panic like a bereaved dog.
When we arrived at the site of Sanjiu Commercial Company, we saw that the place was already crowded with people. Countless monks were holding up spiritual stones and shouting that they wanted to buy century-old ginseng.
On a big water sign at the entrance of Sanjiu Shop, there is a row of big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes: Special offer and big reward, century-old ginseng, each plant costs 3.5% of the spirit stone. If you pass by, don't miss it!
Three points and five!
It only costs three-and-a-half cents!
Zhang Zuofu felt his eyes go dark, his throat felt sweet, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Su Yusheng saw the opportunity and helped Zhang Zuofu.
He shouted anxiously: "Zufu, cheer up, now is not the time to admit defeat. Our four businesses are all mortgaged to Ping An Bank. If we admit defeat now, it will be all over!"
Yes, you can’t admit defeat, you must not admit defeat!
Zhang Zuofu bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to calm down. His mind began to work at full speed, thinking of countermeasures.
It is impossible for Sanjiu Store to lower its price so much for no reason, and Wei Tai cannot afford to pay for it!
unless……
Unless Wei Tai, like them, got another batch of cheaper century-old ginseng, and the cost was evenly shared, he would have the confidence to sell it at an ultra-low price of 3.5%.
Yes, that must be the case!
That mysterious businessman!
Damn mysterious businessman!
Zhang Zuofu cursed the other party fiercely in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
That businessman has a mysterious origin and unfathomable strength, and cannot be dealt with by just a few of their foundation-building monks.
Besides, the other party was selling century-old ginseng, but they didn’t hold a knife to their necks to force them to buy it.
Everything is of their own free will.
Volunteer?
Zhang Zuowei smiled bitterly, now that they were being roasted on the fire, both Sanjiu Company and them were furious.
Fighting in shopping malls is more brutal than real fighting!
At this point, the two sides have entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat. The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out. It is impossible to stop without completely defeating the opponent!
There is no other way, let’s fight!
Today, either you die or I die!
Zhang Zuofu immediately sent someone to contact the mysterious merchant. As expected, Sanjiu Company did receive another batch of goods from the mysterious merchant, 50,000 century-old ginseng plants.
The mysterious businessman is very magnanimous and does not hide the price. Each century-old ginseng plant costs one-third of the spiritual stone.
No wonder, no wonder, Sanjiu Store dares to offer ultra-low prices of 3.5%!
The mysterious businessman also admitted that he still has the last 100,000 century-old ginseng plants on hand, and if there is demand, he can dispose of them at a cheaper price to Zhang Zuofu.
For every century-old ginseng, two points of low-grade spiritual stone!
This price is ridiculously low!
Zhang Zuofu was speechless and smiled bitterly.
The mysterious businessman sold 100,000 century-old ginseng plants to Zhang Zuofu and others, and then sold 100,000 century-old ginseng plants to Sanjiu Company. Now there are still 100,000 century-old ginseng plants left. In other words, he has a total of 300,000 century-old ginseng plants!
If he had known that there were 300,000 century-old ginseng plants, Zhang Zuofu would not have come to this muddy water to kill him.
Now we are stuck in a quagmire from which we can no longer escape.
There was no other way, so Zhang Zuofu and three others sold off their property and sold off several properties before they could scrape together 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones and purchase the last 100,000 century-old ginseng plants.
Over the next three days, the price of century-old ginseng continued to decline, finally falling by two-thirds.
Sanjiu Trading Company finally lost all its money and could no longer sustain itself, so it closed down.
Zhang Zuofu and others are not having a hard time either. The market for spiritual herbs in Shilipufang City is so big. How can they possibly digest the 300,000 century-old ginseng that poured in at once?
After the Sanjiu store closed down due to a run, in order to cash in as quickly as possible, they lowered the price of century-old ginseng again and again, and finally dropped to 2.8 cents, but they still couldn't sell it.
Five days later, the matter slowly calmed down.
Sanjiu Trading Company is closed down.
Zhang Zuofu and others had a backlog of nearly 100,000 century-old ginseng plants, and the financial burden was so heavy that it exploded!
In this war without gunpowder, both sides are losers.
Chapter completed!
