The Naian people who were frying salt quickly put an end to the disorderly competition among themselves.
Therefore, although the price of salt suddenly plummeted, it stabilized at forty-two silver coins not long after the meal.
And Leo instantly lowered the price of salt to thirty-eight silver coins.
Although the price of salt has dropped, the residents of Nidel City are not stupid. They will not dance according to the instructions of Leo or the salt merchants. Now everyone knows that the price of salt will not fall, but will fall sharply.
In Lorraine's words, everyone is holding money and waiting to see what happens.
Regardless of whether it was Leo or the salt merchant, the stores under their control tried their best to promote it. Although they shouted loudly, no one came to pay.
Jerry soon discovered this anomaly. Several shops were struggling and not getting a penny in their accounts. He knew what was going on without even thinking about it.
Jerry quickly ran over and reported to Leo. When Leo heard this, he was shocked and said: "This is not bad, anything that cannot be sold is worthless, so let's lower it again. We will sell it for thirty-five silver coins per pound."
"
At this time, Leo's store finally had sales, and some people started to walk into the store to buy.
Nidel City is not too big, especially since there are only four commercial districts. All the shops are on the same street, and some are even across the street.
Seeing that Nai'an Salt Company had simply lowered the price to less than 40, and people were already starting to buy it, the salt merchants here pinched their noses and had no choice but to follow. The big bosses gathered in the back room to quarrel (they again
He simply retreated into the secret room), almost beaten to death, and he could only think of one way, gritting his teeth and ordering, lower the price, and then lower the price.
After all, if they can't sell it and get damp in the warehouse, they won't be able to recover a penny of the cost. Now, no matter whether the price is high or low, sell it!
This group of people are also breaking pots, and they can get back as much as they can.
The salt merchants added a new salt price to the price tags that had been posted several times: thirty-three silver coins per pound.
Jerry shook his head and sighed. Although he knew that Leo's order when he returned must also be "lower prices", he did not dare to make this decision for Leo, even though President Leo kept asking employees to strengthen their skills in company meetings.
Autonomy, but that means that when you are working, especially when it comes to voluntarily working overtime, you are not asked to make decisions for your boss.
Sure enough, Jerry reported to Leo that after the gang lowered the price of salt, Leo said angrily: "Those grandsons are procrastinating when the price is raised, but how can they be so straightforward when they lower the price? I can't even drink a glass of juice."
Before they finish drinking, they won’t be able to hold it anymore. How much money will I have to lose? I’m really pissed off. Give me the order and I’ll do it again.”
The people in Nadel City felt as if they were enjoying a wonderful football match, and the two sides were still playing against each other, competing to score goals, which was extremely exciting.
Some Nadel City people stood guard at the door of the store. Once they saw the salt price was updated, they cheered loudly, then raised their heads and waited for the other store's reaction. When the price here also dropped lower, they whistled and cheered loudly again.
Some little ghosts ran up and down the streets of Naider City shouting "It fell again, it fell again."
Just as lively.
Today's Nadel City is like the grandest "Father's Day" every year, and people's cheers can be heard everywhere.
After the price of salt dropped below thirty silver coins, both parties began to be cautious.
Leo is very dissatisfied with the speed of salt price reduction. If this continues, it seems that he, the CEO, will not be able to make much private money.
The salt merchants were even more unwilling to see the price of salt drop, but Nai'an Salt Industry was determined to expose their anus. Knowing that they were jumping into hell, they had no choice but to hold their noses and jump in.
At around one o'clock at noon, the price of salt dropped by two or even three silver coins at a time. By three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the price of salt dropped by one silver coin at a time.
Although the drop is smaller, salt prices are still falling resolutely, something that neither Leo nor the salt merchants can stop.
Leo found that he had no way to stop this surging trend. This vicious price war got Leo himself involved, looking at the parabola-like salt price chart drawn by Vera.
Leo sat on the sofa dejectedly, complaining to himself: "I miscalculated, I miscalculated, there is no need for a price war."
Knowing that he probably wouldn't make much money if this continued, Leo had no choice but to reduce the price of salt by one silver coin every half hour.
For this reason Leo said fiercely: "It's too much, it's too much."
When drinking juice with an open stomach, I used to add two ice cubes each time, but now I add four.
Leo was crying in his heart, and the salt merchant was bleeding in his heart.
Every time the price of salt drops by one point, they lose tens of thousands of gold coins. Many of these people not only hoard salt, they also produce salt themselves, and have salt farms of different sizes in their hands, otherwise they would not be so heroic.
Yun is clamoring to monopolize the supply of salt in Nai'an.
If this price reduction trend continues, not only will the money they invested be lost, but the salt farms established by these people and operated for generations will also close down.
If the money they threw in is gone, they can still make more money, but if their property is gone, they will have to go to the streets to beg for food.
This group of Naian people is no longer as heroic as they were a few days ago. There is no good wine or delicious food, and there are no beautiful women to flatter them.
Now a large group of them were sitting in silence in the empty room. Even if someone raised his head and wanted to speak, he would shut his mouth in boredom when he saw the blank expressions on everyone's face.
This group of people had just experienced a direct train from heaven to hell. They were still happily calculating their profits in the morning. After receiving the news of the dumping of Naian Salt Industry at noon, until now, they have done the only thing
The thing is to calculate your losses.
Since this group of people were urgently summoned, although everyone is racking their brains to think of countermeasures, until now, they can only passively deal with Leo's price war here.
Every time the men they sent to the market came in, the faces of these people turned pale, because this meant that Nai'an Salt Industry had lowered the price again, and they could only bite their teeth a little tighter.
, hoarsely said: "Surrender!"
Someone shouted loudly: "Find a way, if I continue, I will lose all my money in my life."
"Losing money? Huh, my entire property has been lost. Is there any way? Is there any way? If I had known better, I shouldn't have listened to your ploys."
"Why didn't you say this when you were making money? Is it interesting to call it this now? I lost more than 60,000 gold coins. What you have is nothing."
"I……"
"Save your energy and shut up!"
When the price first dropped, these people would still make noises, curse, or wail. But when the price dropped to below thirty silver coins, they no longer had the energy to complain.
Most people just sat there in a daze. Some people were holding wine bottles and pouring wine, trying to get themselves drunk. Some people were pulling their hair and banging against the wall.
Others frowned, tapping their fingers and thinking about something in their minds.
At this time, there was another knock on the door, and they seemed to be suddenly frightened. They looked at the door in fear, as if a murderous devil would jump in from outside.
The competition to lower prices continued until evening. The price of salt had reached twenty silver coins per pound, and was about to exceed the price of twenty silver coins per pound.
Although the people of Nidel City have not seen enough of this unprecedented price war, it is already dinner time, and everyone thinks it is time to end it. The people gathered in front of the shop are still talking about today's grand occasion.
, dispersed and prepared to go home.
Leo drank a lot of juice this afternoon, and now his stomach feels bloated and uncomfortable, as if there is a small bag in it.
The staff who collect information from the market are like butterflies in flowers, coming up to report the market situation to Leo every moment.
Leo felt so suffocated at this moment that he sat up unsteadily from the sofa. Jerry knocked on the door and walked in. He happened to bump into Leo who was eager to go out.
Milena said from behind Leo: "Why are you going? Sister Nicole told us to go back for dinner early."
Leo hurried out and waved his hands without looking back: "I know." Then he pushed Jerry away who was standing at the door.
Jerry hurriedly said: "President, the person opposite has lowered the price again. We are all waiting for your opinion."
Leo jumped out of the door, rushed to the toilet in two steps, and said loudly: "President, I'm in a hurry, so I won't play with them anymore. I'll throw it all away."
Just like that, while Leo was peeing, the price of salt in Naian suddenly dropped to one silver coin per pound.
When the news came, the people of Nadel City rushed to tell each other and cheered. The housewife took out the salt shaker hidden on the top of the cupboard, took a spoonful of it, and sprinkled it into the soup pot.
The salt merchants gathered together were shattered by this news. Their last hope was shattered. They just did not fry the salt this time. The cost price of the salt released by these people's salt farms was already more than one silver coin. They competed with Nai'an Salt Industry. There was no hope.
None.
And when Leo was counting his income today and preparing to prepare false accounts for Catherine, he was surprised to find that after spending a long time at the price station, he only received a hundred or ten gold coins.
The next day, it seemed to Nadel that everything was normal again overnight. People were living a peaceful and peaceful life under the protection of the imperial government. Those incidents of smashing and smashing shops seemed to have happened in the last century.
No one gathered in front of the salt shop, no one complained on the street that the officials were idiots, and no one threw stones at government departments.
Only when passing those closed shops, Nadel would curse at the door, and the salt scandal in Naian suddenly ended.
Lorraine walked into the meeting room of the Governor's Mansion as usual, sat in her seat, took the hot tea from the secretary's aunt, raised her head and glanced around her subordinates, and was surprised to find that they all used a group of words as if
He was staring at me like he was an alien.
Angus suddenly applauded, and the officials below also followed Angus' actions and clapped their hands vigorously in the conference room.
Angus nodded deeply to Lorraine and said, "What you did is really beautiful."
Other people followed suit and shouted, "The Governor is wise."
"We have been on tenterhooks for so long. It turns out that the Governor has already prepared a countermeasure."
"It's really safe to sit on the Diaoyutai."
Lorraine looked at everyone in front of her smiling happily, she just smiled reservedly, and then motioned for the people below to be quiet.
Lorraine said: "Everyone, although this crisis is really not a big deal, you have performed very well in responding to the crisis. I am very satisfied. Just stabilizing the market is our first step. For these people who are driving up prices,
First of all, we will never tolerate profiteers, but we must not use unreasonable and illegal means to deal with them.
From this incident, many problems have been exposed. Why is the authority of our Nai'an government not even enough to protect Ben Sheng? This is a very serious political issue, do you understand?"
I understand, why don’t I understand, the following group of officials are thinking in their hearts, it’s not all you who have said that we should treat them reasonably and legally. We should have let them understand what the authority of the government is long ago.
They can make a fuss.
Lorraine continued: "The rectification work for the commercial market in Nai An Province seems to be very necessary based on the current situation. Our focus in the next stage of work is to comprehensively sort out the market and prices of Nai An. Especially
Those countless profiteers who disregard people's livelihood and plunder ordinary people must be severely punished, do you understand?"
The group of officials below said loudly: "Yes, Lord Governor."
Lorraine nodded and said: "I am very satisfied with everyone's performance in the past two months. I see your hard work and I hope you will continue your efforts in the future.
The following group of officials are all very understanding. Our Governor of Lorraine said that the market must be rectified under the premise of being reasonable and legal. How to rectify it? Of course, all departments must fulfill their duties, go out and inspect, find out, and then
He imposes a heavy fine, and then orders him to suspend business for rectification and so on. Of course, if the fine is paid enough, there is no need to suspend business for rectification. Otherwise, he will be asked to look at it for three or two years.
Our Lord Governor of Lorraine also emphasized that we must severely crack down on those profiteers who disregard people's livelihood. Everyone knows who these profiteers are.
Those salt merchants were shameless and dared to refute the Governor's reputation. Now that they have been beaten with a stick, it is time to add insult to injury and cut their raw pork properly.
Recently, all the slaves in Nai'an have been freed. Those grassroots officials who have been cultivated to be cunning are complaining about the hard life. They are well-informed and find out that the Governor of Lorraine is going to deal with the group of salt merchants. This gang is regarded as
The guys who were the lackeys of the Governor of Lorraine high-fived each other again and cheered: Now they can make a fortune again.
The Nai'an Salt Industry here is dumping salt on the market with all its strength. On the other side, all departments of the Nai'an government have mobilized to launch an open-ended inspection campaign in Nai'an.
Lorraine and the others had already mastered the detailed information of the group of salt merchants. These people were listed as the first targets of attack. When a big net was used, small fish and shrimps would also be unlucky.
Needless to say about the tax department, surprise inspections from time to time are commonplace for them. They rely on this to make a living. Now they don’t need to explain it to their superiors. This group of tax collectors, who are more powerful than the general army, carry their bags every day.
Appear in the market on time, especially for those whom the governor has said to take care of. The tax collector will come to the door on time every day to check the accounts until the closing time of the market, and then close the books and get off work on time.
The soldiers at the guard station no longer only hunt down thieves every day. Due to climate reasons and the close layout of the city, this is a high-incidence period for fires. Once a fire breaks out, it will have a devastating impact on the entire Naider City. In view of the seriousness and urgency of the problem
, the Governor of Lorraine temporarily signed a decree, ordering the health station to also take charge of firefighting tasks. The first task is to investigate fire hazards throughout Nadel City.
Once discovered, they will be ordered to make rectifications within a time limit, and those who fail to make rectifications will be severely punished.
All the soldiers from the current guard walked into each shop in the market openly and searched vigorously from inside to outside, top to bottom.
These gangsters usually look for trouble, but now that they have the authorization from the governor, they are even more domineering. As the old saying goes, thieves are like combs and soldiers are like grates. This time, most of the bosses in the market have suffered.
People can only choose to lose money and avoid disaster.
Those who have been named by the superiors to take special care of, even if they want to lose money, no one dares to take them now. The people here don't say anything to the superiors, just leave a sentence of "rectification"
After the boss carefully renovated the store, these people came to the door and threw a ticket, leaving a sentence of "I'll make it right again" and walked away. If there were still people who persisted, what they got was a "I'll make it right again".
This is just a simple method. The Nai'an government officials who uphold their intentions have given full play to their enthusiasm in this rectification incident and used various methods to cause trouble for them.
People at the port can find any reason they want. They are suspected of smuggling, suspected of harboring theft, suspected of transporting counterfeit and shoddy products, suspected... I just doubt you, so what? Then they will detain their transport ships and inspect them for three to five months.
, you can rest assured that all the actions of our public servants are reasonable and legal. We will not treat the people simply and roughly. If you have any objections, you can also complain to our superiors.
The same excuse was used at the checkpoint to intercept the caravan of these people.
Lorraine's revenge was simple, direct, and unstoppable. Within a few days, those who had been shouting "I want to show this little governor some color" a while ago were all dumbfounded.
These official methods were done openly, but even if they wanted to argue, they couldn't stand it. It's not that no one wanted to go to Ruman City to file a complaint. After all, who didn't have a few important relatives? After careful discussion, they
Only then did they realize that Lorraine hadn't left any evidence for them to sue.
All these actions were carried out under the government's decree and in accordance with the provisions of the law. They could not accuse Lorraine of being too rule-abiding as the governor. Everything must be done in a reasonable and legal manner, and he was not overbearing at all.
