It has been a few days since the city's tax reform was implemented. At first, Tang Wenhua could still sit still, but when he heard that Tang Yue only dared to deal with high-priced goods, he still sneered in his heart.
Then he heard that Zixiao Mansion had raised tuition fees, which caused some students to drop out, causing a very bad impact. The reputation of Zixiao Mansion was damaged. When he went to a party outside the city, someone mentioned this matter to him. In words,
There was so much teasing, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Not only did she blame her senior brother for being too impulsive, why he raised the price without discussing it with him? He also despised him for having such low vision that he would do such a thing just to get some spiritual stones.
The purpose of opening a school is to have a reputation, not a spiritual stone. Moreover, Zixiao Mansion has received the most annual gifts for so many years. Even if Shui Yingrou was restructured, the division of Zixiao Mansion was reduced. They are still in charge of Kunwu
Jianshi, why are you still short of money, and then you want to take action on tuition fees?
Cao Yanjun is still too greedy and wants to grab every little profit.
No wonder his father said at the beginning that he had a villain's heart and was narrow-minded, so it was difficult for him to achieve great things, but he could use it to his advantage.
After thinking about it, he decided not to take the initiative to pay attention to the matter. If Senior Brother Cao came to him to complain, he would just let Tang Yue apologize to him.
After Shui Yingrou comes out of confinement, he can still give some apology. In this way, he won't have to pay for it, and Senior Brother Cao will be grateful to him in his heart.
Some time later, he heard that merchants in the city were collectively raising prices in order to save enough money for future taxes. The people were complaining and laughing in the room.
Tang Yue was indeed in trouble. Now he finally understood how difficult it is to manage city affairs, right? He felt that his daughter would not be able to withstand the pressure and would beg him to cancel the tax reform order.
But later, not only Tang Yue's market was selling at reduced prices, but all the merchants in the whole process were selling goods at low prices.
President Qian took out something and said, "City Lord, this is the best Nine-turn Hunyuan Pill. After taking it, it can enhance your vitality, harmonize your inner energy, and strengthen your body. I hope you can take it."
Tang Wenhua firmly refused: "No reward for no merit, I haven't solved your troubles yet, how can I accept these valuable gifts? Besides, I shouldn't accept your gifts. This is my obligation."
Tang Wenhua wondered: "Is it so serious? I heard that the supermarket does not sell high-end supplies, how could it affect your business?"
President Qian felt bad that Tang Wenhua, who had always been greedy for money, actually refused to accept their things.
When Tang Wenhua walked to the door, he remembered that he couldn't seem so anxious. He had to maintain the face and demeanor of the city lord and his father. Tang Yue's tax reform order had only been implemented for a few days. Now that he had gone there, he felt a little anxious.
So she went back to the study and drank a few more pots of tea, comforting herself in her heart: Tang Yue's sale at such a low price would definitely not last for a few days, and she would just wait until she lost all the money.
Only when several business representatives came to see him and asked him to persuade Ms. Tang did he realize the seriousness of the matter.
Other merchants also brought out gifts, all of which were of great value.
The merchant on his left added: "Not everyone likes to consume things with better materials. Some things are of average quality and can be used. Now Miss Tang Er provides a large number of cheap products to choose from. Customers who used to consume high-priced products,
It is very likely that these products will be used to replace some of the items that they feel are not important, which will eventually lead to a decline in our sales.”
In the next few days, after waiting for no one, I heard that Tang Yue bought a large amount of goods from Xiandu and sold them at low prices in the city. I was angry. Wouldn't this make people from outside the city cheaper?
Sure enough, the girl is outgoing, but before she does anything, she actually starts to poach her own family and pay for others.
Except for Chairman Qian, all the merchants present were confused. After being polite for a while, Tang Wenhua sent them out.
A merchant begged: "City Lord, please help us. If the second lady continues to do this, we will close down."
The businessman on the left did not understand the meaning of Tang Wenhua's move, so he hurriedly said: "The city lord helped us stop Miss Tang, which is a great help. Please accept this gift."
The markets, supermarkets, shops, etc. now opened by Tang Yue all belong to Qionghua Pavilion, and the surplus must be put into the city treasury.
President Qian continued: "Not only that, Miss Tang also has many unique manufacturing methods, such as mirrors, colored glazes, clothes hangers, etc. She can make these originally high-priced things at very low costs, and the quality is better. So.
Once this happens, people will no longer buy the goods in our stores, and many businesses will close down."
But Tang Wenhua made up his mind and said with a sad face: "Everyone, you are all citizens of Kunwu City, and your family has contributed to the prosperity and development of Kunwu City. As the city lord, it is my duty to relieve your worries.
There is no need to give me these things."
He needs a lot of money to do something important to his own future and the future of Kunwu City. If he doesn't save enough money, he won't be able to do it.
Although he looks down on these business-focused families in the city, they are usually very filial, which makes his private treasury full. If there are heavy losses this year, he will not be able to pay much, and the money he can use will be reduced a lot.
Chairman Qian sighed. He never imagined that Miss Tang would actually have endless means to squeeze their business. "Although the items in her supermarket are not high-end, they contain a wide range of products, covering almost every aspect of life.
Since everyone has cheaper alternatives, they will buy less high-end products, and our profits will decrease."
Tang Yue has recently opened a supermarket again. He only thinks that children are not determined, and they come up with ideas as they come up. The tax reform has not yet been completed, and he has to start a business again.
Tang Wenhua felt that these people were simply crazy. They were led by a little girl and even followed her to lower prices.
When there were more and more people in and out of Kunwu City going crazy for purchases, he didn't think it was Tang Yue's ability. He just thought she was lucky and had come across it.
City Lord Tang frowned, "Tang Yue is so outrageous."
Tang Wenhua understood a little, but in his heart he felt that this was a bad thing for the merchants, but in fact it was a good thing for the people in the city. They could buy what they needed at a cheaper price, and their lives would be much better.
"This is still a small matter. We just need to make less money. If Ms. Tang's supermarket reputation increases and she starts selling mid-range and high-end products, we will really have no way to survive."
In other words, Tang Yue is now making money for Kunwu City, especially for him as the city lord. It is much better to directly steal the business from these merchants than to collect their taxes.
In fact, what he was thinking was that it was obviously a good thing that a substitute with better quality and cheaper price would appear. Not only would it have a good reputation, but the income would also go to Qionghua Pavilion.
One person asked President Qian, "What does the city lord mean today? Why doesn't he accept our gift?"
"Huh, he thinks Qionghua Pavilion can take away our business, which is great. He can make more than taxing us."
After hearing this, several other people looked surprised and immediately became anxious, "President Qian, what should we do? No one can say for sure what else Miss Tang Er can make? If this continues, how many times will we be in business?
The family business that has lasted for hundreds of years will be ruined."
President Qian took a deep breath and said, "We invited Miss Tang Er to come and agreed to pay the commercial tax."
