Chapter 582 Public opinion is useless? (Seeking the moon
The old shopkeeper made the final decision, and the others nodded, and they all agreed and unanimously agreed to start selling coal in unlimited quantities from tomorrow. They were hoarding coal in order to make a fortune, and they managed to survive until the price rose to four times the original price, although now it seems that there is no limit to the price.
There is a tiger behind the wolf, but be decisive when you need to be decisive.
Shopkeeper Ye immediately analyzed: "Although Taisheng Coal Shop is lucky and has found a lot of coal from the north, it is still far from what the capital needs. And the coal stock in our hands is ten times that of Taisheng Coal Shop.
The real mainstream in the market, the majority who cannot buy coal from Taisheng Coal Shop, still have to come to us. As long as each of us sticks to our hearts and is not swayed by external things, we will not be afraid of others interfering with the market!"
Someone echoed: "We sixteen families should swear an oath in front of the gods to maintain the price of four cents of silver. Anyone who violates the oath and lowers the price without authorization will be abandoned by both humans and gods!"
In fact, everyone in the sixteen families present was worried. When they heard this proposal, the whole room roared: "Okay!"
After the oath was completed, Mr. Ye felt that as the leader of the meeting, it was necessary to say a few more words, so he warned: "Put the ugly words first. Among us here, whoever dares to betray the covenant will be the public enemy of the entire industry! At that time, stop talking.
Not to teach but to punish.
Also, shopping malls have their own rules, and the biggest rule is to make money! Then Li You wants to use official methods to run shopping malls and kidnap people with moral superiority. That is impossible! The plan is doomed to fail! It’s over.
Later, everyone knew that the owners of the coal mines in Xishan were not allowed to deliver coal to Taisheng Coal Shop from now on. I think he has no way out after selling this batch of coal, and there is nothing left to do with nothing!"
After everyone responded again, they dispersed in twos and threes.
Such news cannot be concealed. Li You did not go home tonight, but stayed in the store and took inventory. In the past three days, Yang Yuanwai, as agreed, transported a total of 200,000 kilograms of coal, plus the first batch of eight
Ten thousand kilograms, a total of 280,000 kilograms has been transported. Among them, 120,000 kilograms have been sold, and there is still a stock of 160,000 kilograms in the store. Even if the snow temporarily blocks the road, it is enough to last for two or three days.
One of the things Li You was most worried about was encountering snowy weather when the store didn't have enough stock, but now he is completely relieved.
The next day, Li You got up early in the morning and was drinking porridge by the copper charcoal basin. Suddenly he saw shopkeeper Gao hurried into the room and reported to him: "Today, all the major shops in the Coal City suddenly opened their doors. Go and inquire."
I learned that there is indeed something happening! Starting today, those sixteen companies will officially start selling coal. The price is four cents per catty."
Li You finished the porridge calmly. He smiled and said, "Why are you panicking? This will happen sooner or later. It was expected."
Shopkeeper Gao said worriedly: "I heard that they made an oath last night to keep the price of four cents of silver unchanged, and they are very determined. I understand that my boss is worried about the people and wants to benefit them, but luck is hard to come by. After all, we have in our hands
There are no millions of catties to determine the market price, so as to protect the poor people all over the world.
Even if we can't successfully suppress the coal price this time, our boss has tried our best, and we all see it. Just be a man with a clear conscience. Your boss must not be grudged! It's hard to fill the sky with just one hand, and manpower is sometimes exhausted.
where!"
Li Daguan was stunned. The propaganda slogan was external rhetoric. How could one of his own be accidentally hit and brainwashed first? It seems that in the mind of Shopkeeper Gao, he has become the incarnation of a selfless sage.
He could only lament that the immunity of ordinary people to propaganda and indoctrination was simply not an order of magnitude worse than that of people in the officialdom.
Shopkeeper Gao's worry is not unreasonable. No matter how popular Qingtian Coal is, the quantity is not enough to meet everyone's needs. Others have opened up sales, and even if the price is twice as expensive, people have to buy it for their daily needs.
.In this case, what’s the point of the owner’s efforts to suppress the market?
What's more, the people are very practical. They just shout slogans without practical results. As time goes by, they won't take it seriously. I'm afraid the reputation they have gained in the past few days will also be lost.
In addition to political accounts, what is even more worrying about economic accounts is that if the owners of Xishan coal mines are intimidated by their peers and refuse to deliver coal, it will be difficult for their stores to continue operating in the future.
But after saying that shopkeeper Gao lamented that his boss's ambition was difficult to realize, he asked for instructions: "What should I say today?"
In the past three days, Shopkeeper Gao had been instructed by Li You to give a speech in front of the crowd outside the store once a day. Each speech was given by Li You on the spot, so Shopkeeper Gao asked for such instructions.
Li You thought for a while and replied: "The main words today are only sixteen words. The rest you can say based on your feelings."
After giving the instructions, Li You asked again: "Among the sixteen large coal shops, is there not one that is smaller and has the least amount of coal?"
"There is an unwritten line for the so-called big coal shops in the coal market. After looking at the whole year, the average daily sales of 10,000 kilograms of coal can be called big. This time they have hoarded it, and the average is about 250,000 kilograms.
, there are only three or four of the smallest ones, probably around 120,000 to 30,000 jins."
Li You instructed: "The art of war is to concentrate your forces and attack one of them less than the rest. After all, their sixteen families are not monolithic. Today we will focus on attacking one or two smaller ones."
Shopkeeper Gao wondered: "How to attack?" Is it using power to force others? But that would break the rules and cause strong indignation and disgust in the entire industry. After all, Taisheng Coal Shop is now the enemy of the entire industry, which is not good.
Easily give people excuses.
The weather became heavier and heavier, and the sun rose as usual amid the clouds. More than 10,000 people gathered around Taisheng Coal Shop again, and it was visually estimated that the number of people had increased again compared to yesterday.
Although other major coal shops in the coal market have opened to sell coal today, except for a few who don't care about money, most people still habitually go to Taisheng Coal Shop to grab the cheap "Qingtian Coal". If you can't grab it later, then
Think about other things.
Shopkeeper Gao appeared in front of people with a depressed look on his face, "As you all have seen today, other companies have started selling coal. This should have been a happy day, but the price of coal is still high, which makes people unhappy. Our boss and
I have negotiated with colleagues in the industry, but to no avail, so I have no choice but to insist on low prices to benefit the people!"
Then shopkeeper Gao's voice suddenly rose an octave, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Buy Qingtian Coal. Be an innocent person! Buy black-hearted coal and help the black-hearted people!"
"Buy Qingtian Coal and become an innocent person! Buy black-hearted coal and help the black-hearted people!" People felt the same and chanted six or seven times angrily before stopping.
At this time, Mr. Ye, the shopkeeper, and several other colleagues were hiding in the door of a store in the distance to spy. Seeing this scene, he laughed and said: "Taisheng Coal Shop's skills are so poor! Even if public opinion is boiling, the people will still have to buy it."
If they don't have enough coal, they have to buy it from us, unless they can produce millions of kilograms of coal in an instant! Public opinion may be used in an officialdom that needs a fig leaf, but it is completely useless in a business war that only cares about money.
"
Sure enough, after the 60,000 kilograms of low-price coal released by Taisheng Coal Shop that day were sold out, the crowd dispersed and circled in the coal market. Some people were still waiting and watching. Some impatient people had already poured into other coal shops to buy the four coals.
High-priced coal costs a pound of silver.
In addition to Taisheng Coal Shop, the only sixteen large coal shops in the coal market opened one after another. Some coal was sold more or less. Seeing that the hoarded coal began to be sold at high prices, the shopkeepers were tensed for ten days.
I can't help but celebrate the good start.
You must know that hoarding, which is hated by the people, is also an act of taking huge risks and investing a lot of money. These profiteers may not be able to sleep peacefully at night in the past ten days. So at this moment, they see with their own eyes that coal has begun to sell at a rate of four cents.
When the silver price is released, it is inevitable that there will be some gaffes after relaxation.
The same goes for shopkeeper Tian from Yuanfeng Coal Shop. He just made his first business of the day. He sold one hundred kilograms of coal and received four taels in his account.
The amount was not much, but it was a good sign, or rather, he was willing to take this as a good sign. There were still 118,600 kilograms of coal waiting to be sold in the store.
However, the reality was not as good as expected. The second order had not arrived yet. Not to mention the business, there were not even a single customer coming through the door. Shopkeeper Tian felt strange and sent his clerk out to check on the situation.
Not long after, the waiter hurried in and shouted: "Big shopkeeper! Someone is intercepting our guests outside!"
Shopkeeper Tian was shocked, and then angrily took several clerks out. Sure enough, from a distance, he saw a clerk from a shop at the intersection gesticulating and frothing at the mouth, saying something to several customers. Then he left again.
After taking a few steps closer, Shopkeeper Tian gradually heard something.
"Have you ever heard that if you buy Qingtian coal, you will become an innocent person, but if you buy black-hearted coal, you will help the black-hearted people!"
"Yes! I know that you are all innocent people, so you have no choice but to come to this Yuanfeng coal shop to buy black-core coal for four cents a pound!"
"It's just that our Qingtian boss has limited financial resources, so we can only release tens of thousands of kilograms of Qingtian coal every day, otherwise our entire shop will have to drink from the northwest wind."
"So we need help from good people like you! Our boss said that if everyone gives a little kindness, the world will be full of warmth!"
"Actually, our Taisheng Coal Shop still has coal! Anyway, you are spending money to buy high-priced coal here, so you might as well go to our Taisheng Coal Shop to buy Shanxin coal at the same price!"
"If you buy coal here, it will be cheaper for the black-hearted merchants, but if you go to Taisheng Coal Shop to buy good-hearted coal, our boss will make more money and have more financial resources to release Qingtian Coal!"
"Spending money is the same, why not do something good? People are doing it, and God is watching. It is not a bad thing to accumulate virtue and do good, and Bodhisattvas will bless you!"
"Thank you for your support! I'll give you a coal ticket. You can take the ticket to our Taisheng Coal Shop and buy Shanxin coal. And tomorrow, you can buy twenty kilograms of Qingtian coal with the ticket as a thank you!"
So that's it! Stealing customers to the door of the store is simply too much bullying. If this continues, Yuanfeng Coal Shop won't be able to sell even a pound of coal! Shopkeeper Tian was furious and was about to instruct the guys to beat up Taisheng, who broke the rules.
Coal shop boy! But he suddenly saw four officers and soldiers in military uniforms standing on the street, each holding a knife handle and staring at him eagerly.
"What should the boss do?" the waiter asked timidly.
Shopkeeper Tian wanted to go to Taisheng Coal Shop to reason again, but then he thought that Li You was not a reasonable person at all. He anxiously walked around in circles for a few times, and suddenly shouted to the customers: "The coal in our shop will start from now on."
Come on, three cents to a pound!”
The customer who was tempted to buy Shanxin coal suddenly heard that the price of coal here had dropped to three kilograms. He no longer listened to the clerk at Taisheng coal shop and rushed to shopkeeper Tian and shouted: "I want two hundred kilograms!"
Uncle Han Zong, who was pretending to be a waiter, shook his head, sighed, "I am wise and powerful," and headed towards the next target.
Who said public opinion in the shopping mall is useless? Li You sneered after learning about the news of price cuts.
