Su Yuying couldn't help but smile slightly as she looked at the greenhouse vegetables she had just bought at one-third of the original price.
With these low-priced greenhouse vegetables, are you afraid that those customers who have been attracted by Fodor will not return?
Thinking of this, she felt very good.
However, after waiting until 5:30 pm, the last sales peak of the day, the number of customers in the market not only did not increase, but actually decreased.
Su Yuying was confused and called the two managers in front of her to ask the reason.
Manager Ma bravely told Su Yuying the whole story.
It turns out that Fuduoduo Market immediately adjusted the price of their greenhouse vegetables to the same price as Huimin Market.
The price advantage of their greenhouse vegetables is gone, so naturally no customers will return.
Su Yuying was so angry that she hammered the table: "This is unreasonable, it's too much to bully others!"
She asked in confusion: "The greenhouse vegetables in Fuduoduo Market sell at the same price as ours, so aren't you afraid of losing money?"
Manager Qian explained tremblingly: “Fuduoduo’s greenhouse vegetables are shipped from Hu Province.
The cost of growing greenhouse vegetables in Hu Province is very low, only half of that in the suburbs of Beijing.
Even if they sell for the same price as us, they still make a profit."
Su Yuying was stunned.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Then we will sell greenhouse vegetables at the purchase price and drag Fu Duoduo into the water together. No one can make any money!"
Manager Qian said in a low voice: "Even if we sell at the purchase price, the greenhouse vegetables in Fuduoduo Market sell at the same price as ours. They can still maintain their capital and they will not lose money no matter what. We can't beat a price war."
Manager Ma also said: "Not only does the purchase price of greenhouse vegetables at Fuduoduo Market be lower than ours, but the purchase price of many commodities is also lower than ours.
Now many of their products are on promotion, the prices are lower than ours, and there are no purchase restrictions, so we simply can’t compete with them.”
Su Yuying couldn't believe it when she heard this.
Her market has only been open for a long time, and there are only a few salespeople.
These salesmen mainly purchase agricultural products such as live poultry, eggs, and vegetables in the suburbs of Beijing.
Most of the goods were obtained from relevant departments through her father's relationship, and all were at planned prices.
The planned price was already quite low, but the price of the goods purchased from Fuduoduo Market was actually lower than the planned price. She didn't believe it.
Su Yuying immediately went to Fuduoduo Food Market secretly and found that, as her two managers said, many products at Fuduoduo Food Market were cheaper than those at Huimin Food Market.
No wonder she failed to wait for customers to return, and instead her business became increasingly deserted.
Su Yuying was so angry that she didn't sleep all night after returning, thinking about countermeasures.
Early the next morning, when Fang Zhuoran went to work, she went to Lin Mai's house.
When Aunt Tu told Lin Mai that someone was looking for her, she ran to the front door and saw that the person who came was Su Yuying. She didn't even bother to pay attention to her, let alone invite her into the house.
She stopped Su Yuying outside the courtyard gate and asked coldly: "What do you want from me?"
When Su Yuying saw that Lin Mai didn't invite her into the house, she didn't dare to accuse her of being rude, let alone accuse her of neglecting her by mentioning that the two families were family friends.
Her grandfather passed away and left.
My cousin offended Lin Mai because of his cousin Su Yujie. He came to apologize to Lin Mai several times and was rejected several times. The two families could not talk about being close friends for a long time.
Su Yujie was also sent to Qinghai by her uncle. Learning from the past, Su Yuying still dared to boss Lin Maiyi around.
Besides, she came here to beg Lin Mai today, so she didn't dare to accuse Lin Mai.
But she was used to the eldest lady's airs, and she couldn't do it for a while when she was asked to be humble.
Su Yuying raised her chin slightly and said arrogantly: "It's nothing serious, I just want to talk to you."
Lin Mai said calmly: "What do you want to talk about?"
Su Yuying glanced at Aunt Tu who was working not far away: "Can we find a place to talk?"
Lin Mai was very curious about what Su Yuying would say to her. Their relationship was worse than that of strangers, so she nodded in agreement.
Beijing is much more prosperous than Jiangcheng, and there are more foreigners, so cafes are still relatively common.
There is a cafe at the end of the alley where Lin Mai's family lives.
She and Su Yuying arranged to meet there, closed the courtyard door, and went back to the room to change clothes.
She usually wears comfortable home cotton clothes at home, and only dresses up like a dog when going out.
Lin Mai was dressed up and ready to go out. Grandma Fang saw her and asked, "Why are you wearing so little clothes? Aren't you cold?"
Lin Mai only wore a woolen coat, but she didn't feel cold.
Since yesterday, the temperature has been abnormal and extremely hot.
Lin Mai said to Grandma Fang: "The temperature is above zero today, how can it be cold?"
Grandpa Fang looked up at the cloudless sky and said worriedly: "The weather is unusually hot. I'm afraid it will snow heavily during the Chinese New Year. It will not be easy to go out to pay New Year greetings then."
Amidst the conversation of the two old men studying the weather, Lin Mai went out and arrived at the small cafe they had agreed on.
Su Yuying was already waiting there, drinking a cup of coffee elegantly.
Lin Mai walked to her and sat down.
The waiter came over and asked her what she wanted.
Lin Mai doesn't like drinking coffee very much. This coffee shop also sells fresh fruit juice. She ordered a cup of hot fruit juice.
The waiter quickly served Lin Mai hot fruit juice.
Lin Mai just took a sip when Su Yuying said: "Lin Mai, please let me go, please?"
Lin Mai was confused when he heard this: "I'm not sorry for you, so why should I let you go?"
Su Yuying suddenly became a little excited: "You also said that you didn't make things difficult for me, and you can sell the vegetables in my greenhouse at whatever price you want.
Many products are cheaper than ours, doesn’t this give me a way to survive?”
At this point, her eyes turned red and she said aggrievedly: "In order to avoid you, the two Huimin markets are far away from your Fuduoduo market. What else do you want?"
Lin Mai was shocked and speechless by her shameless double-standard behavior.
She took a few sips of Guozhen and said slowly: "Didn't you copy our prices first?
You can do it in the first grade, but I can’t do it in the fifteenth grade? Do you have the privilege?
You also robbed my greenhouse vegetables, who didn’t give others a way to survive?
Are you apprenticed to Zhu Bajie, so you know how to beat him up?"
Su Yuying felt even more aggrieved when she heard this: "I had no choice but to rob your greenhouse vegetables.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for my market to continue operating, and I will lose all my money.
You know, I invested 100,000 yuan in the two food markets, not counting half of my partner's investment.
If the two food markets close down, I will have no choice but to jump into the lake.
As for the price of the copied Fodor products before, I just started doing business and don’t understand pricing, so it’s excusable.”
Lin Mai smiled: "According to your logic, can all those bachelors who can't get a wife get your sex for free?
Their reasons are also very strong. They also want a married life, so you have no choice but to have sex for free.
Those who have no money can rob you of your money because they are poor!"
Su Yuying didn't expect Lin Mai to speak so unpleasantly.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "Just tell me, will you let me go?"
Lin Mai smiled contemptuously and said word by word: "I would hate to see you lose all your money, and even more wish to see you jump into the lake. Do you think I will let you go?"
Su Yuying suddenly became livid with anger.
She said patiently: "I also know that I have gone too far in some places, but I really have no choice. I am at my husband's house..."
Before she could finish her words, she was rudely interrupted by Lin Mai: "No matter what difficulties you encounter at your husband's house, it is not a reason for you to rob my greenhouse of vegetables!"
After that, he called the waiter over to pay.
The waiter quoted: "Coffee is four yuan a cup, Guozhen is two and a half yuan, a total of six and a half yuan, thank you."
Lin Mai was stunned.
I didn't expect that a cup of instant fruit juice actually costs 2.5 yuan. Why don't you go and rob it?
She only took out two and a half yuan and put it on the table: "I only pay for what I drink. You ask others to pay for other people's drinks." After that, she walked away under the surprised eyes of the waiter.
Su Yuying clenched one of her fists tightly.
How could Lin Mai be so bad?
She begged her, but she refused to give her any way to survive, and even humiliated her!
