It was clear from his expression that Pei Ji didn't have much confidence in this situation.
Seriously speaking, Pei Ji was very anxious and insecure.
But Pei Ji did think of something...
"Have you forgotten that when someone came to report earlier, they said, 'There is no intention to purchase goods from overseas'... this sentence?"
When Pei Ji asked, Wang Jing and others looked at each other for a moment, then nodded and looked at Pei Ji again, "That's true! But... there's nothing to say about this. What do you think, Brother Pei?"
Wang Jing spoke very quickly and was worried.
Although this Pei Ji has a vulgar temperament, his vision is indeed sharp and vicious.
and……
When Pei Ji saw Wang Jing's head, his brows furrowed even more.
This time, not only Wang Jing and others, but also Pei Ji himself became more and more nervous... And looking at Pei Ji's expression, the others became even more nervous, and their faces turned pale.
And then, Pei Ji said.
"Since... the person who reported the message did say so, it's a bit strange... overseas places are not refusing to buy the goods, but are 'unintentional purchases'... Don't you guys have any ideas?"
Pei Ji felt that there was definitely something fishy in this, and...since the person who reported the news really said that, it would be even more obvious that there was something fishy.
However, Wang Jing and the others were not as sharp as Pei Ji. They were immediately anxious and said hurriedly, "Brother Pei, please don't show off. What's the secret in this? I hope Brother Pei will tell me quickly!"
"This...isn't difficult either."
Pei Ji shook his head, and then looked at everyone very seriously, "The person who reported the news was just a stupid boatman. He was often illiterate, and they didn't know the unnecessary information. But if someone deliberately targets us, then it should be a matter of 'refuse to report'. "Buying', but since it is 'unintentional', it means...the overseas places must have obtained other sources of goods, so they did not buy the candy and wine we are waiting for."
When Pei Ji said this, Wang Jing and others looked at each other and nodded. You have to admit that this analysis is quite smooth and clever.
However... Wang Jing was still confused, because this didn't seem to explain anything. Someone was robbing everyone of their business. This had been discussed and understood a long time ago.
...Although Pei Ji's analysis is clever, it is a bit nonsense.
But then, Pei Ji continued, "But the four words 'overseas places' are not simple. They are composed of countless territories... So many places, I have to wait for the previous ships to go out to sea, which caramel and wine It’s not all sold out. But this time... even if there are maritime merchants coming to grab the deal, it’s not like I’ll be left waiting for nothing to be sold!”
More or less, I should be able to sell a few shipments!
When Pei Ji said this, Wang Jing and others were stunned.
According to what Pei Ji said...
Although everyone still didn't understand and couldn't react, they were already vaguely aware that things were not that simple!
And then, as expected, Pei Ji continued.
"Since there is someone fighting with us, and we can't sell anything, or there are 'unintentional' purchases from all over the world, after thinking about it, there seem to be two possibilities... One is that the other party is extremely powerful, All the appetites of overseas merchants were filled with one shot. Although we reduced the price significantly, it was still not enough..."
"Secondly, the other party's candy and wine have their own unique qualities, and it is difficult for our products to compete."
Pei Ji took a breath and looked at Wang Jing and others seriously, "No matter which of the two it is..."
…
Pei Ji's analysis was simply amazing. He could infer so much from just one sentence of the boatman's small details.
Speaking of which, the disciples who went to sea were to blame for this. They sent the boatmen back after sending the news. They didn't want to send capable people to report the situation in detail. However, it was better to have sent people anyway.
Wang Jing and others...of course knew that there was a problem with the business, but they never expected that the problem would be so serious.
Without paying attention, things have gotten to this point. If this pace continues, could the Five Surnames and Qiwang Pills be next? You didn't even notice what Pei Ji said. The other party's strength is such that they can spread the goods all at once and directly conquer everyone in the world.
The appetites of all maritime merchants on the ocean are directly filled. This...this level is something that ordinary maritime merchants can achieve?
This is a behemoth that can compete with the entire Five Surnames and Qiwang!
According to the first possibility mentioned by Pei Ji, there is no doubt that this is the case.
In addition to this, the second possibility is even weirder. What kind of goods can make overseas countries lose interest in their own candy and wine? You must know that the factory plug-in is no joke.
The two magic weapons of factory scale and division of labor can not only greatly increase the production efficiency of items and significantly reduce costs, but also have a powerful ability to directly increase the quality of items. The reason is very simple, ordinary people work
, one person is responsible for all aspects. If this craftsman does not have the appearance of Steve Jobs, then there must be problematic parts in many aspects, and because he himself is responsible for the specific construction of many aspects, he must not have much energy to improve anything.
.
But it is different after the division of labor, because each person is only responsible for one process, which is equivalent to having countless opportunities to master the craftsmanship of this process! And the managers and process designers who are separated from the process are even more important.
Have enough time and energy to optimize the product in hand.
In short, factory-style production can completely replace workshops, achieve the glory of the British Empire, and set off multiple era trends around the world. Its advantages are definitely not just a simple increase in efficiency, but dimensionality reduction is multifaceted.
Of course Wang Jing and others do not understand so many complicated truths, but they are quite clear that the goods at home are better than ordinary ones. The key...
The key is still the factory production, which they secretly learned from Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu even learned it from Li Sheng.
You guys have already learned Li Sheng’s tricks, who else can come up with more tricks and make caramel and wine better than them?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible.
Even if there is a fierce dragon crossing the river, it is impossible for this mysterious sea merchant to make malt sugar into an elixir...
Emotions of doubt, horror, and uncertainty were passed back and forth in everyone's eye contact.
Although Pei Ji has analyzed the scope of the problem, what can be done? Pei Ji has no solution, but this is a situation where even Pei Ji doesn't know what to do.
But at this time Wang Jing also spoke. Although there was a look of surprise and anxiety on his face, he still said,
"Brothers and gentlemen, in my opinion, this matter is not simple. It is best for us to wait for the news to come before we discuss it. And it is best..."
