The strongest young talent in history

Chapter 160 Business War Begins

The East Market has been extremely lively these past few days. Except for Su’s soap shop and a few shops of Hou’s family, the other gouache shops have been frantically launching discounts and promotions one by one, like appointments. All right, this made those ladies and ladies very happy, and they came to Dongshi to buy gouache one by one.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is actually a game between Taikang's gouache merchants and Su's Group. The business of Su's Soap Shop is really booming these days, while other gouache shops are deserted and deserted.

But as long as they can take advantage, the customers will definitely not say anything, and they even hope that these people will fight more fiercely.

It's just strange that Su's Soap Shop didn't take any countermeasures against the wave after wave of price cuts by Taikang gouache merchants, and still went its own way, maintaining the price of gouache.

Even Fang Zhimin and the others were surprised. They originally thought that Su Mo would follow them in reducing the price and quickly consume the inventory.

Maybe it's because the business of Su's soap shop is mainly supported by soap, and gouache is just a sideline.

But Fang Zhimin and the others are not worried, things like gouache will be ruined after a long time, if Su Mo doesn't take action, these gouache will just rot in his hands, and he will suffer the biggest loss.

And these people just want to prolong the cycle of price reduction.

When this batch of gouache from Su Mo rots and there is no new replenishment channel, the gouache market in Taikang County will still be firmly in their hands.

It's just that in order to realize this plan, the price they paid was more painful than expected. Su Mo actually found a supplier first, and expressed his willingness to buy gouache at a price that was [-]% higher than the original purchase price.

When Fang Zhimin and others went to discuss the purchase, they could only buy these gouaches at a price that was [-]% higher than the original purchase price, and at the same time prepared a generous gift, which made the suppliers of those gouaches agree not to provide them any more. The supply is for Su Mo and Hou Qing.

The result of this is that when they sold the gouache at a low price, they didn't even keep the meager profit, and even poured money into it.

However, in order to regain control of the gouache market, they can only temporarily withdraw money from their pockets. Fortunately, they have all worked as gouache merchants in Taikang County for many years, and each of them has a wealth of wealth. Silver is also within the acceptable range.

But they also hated Su Mo in their hearts, and they all blamed this bastard. If it wasn't for him, how could they lose so much money.

But now it seems that Su Mo is not an idiot who doesn't know anything. Knowing that they will cut off their supply, they even found a supplier one step ahead of time.

It's just that he, a newcomer in the mall, underestimated the courage of these old guys. If you pay [-]% more, I can pay [-]%.

……

In the back garden of the Su Garden, Su Mo peeled an orange for Liu Yue who was sitting on a soft chair, handed it to her, and said, "Sister Liu, I have already contacted those suppliers of gouache, and even sent them According to what I said, let them sell the goods to gouache merchants like Fang Zhimin at a price that is [-]% higher than the original price.

It's just that I don't understand why we have to take so many detours. Since Fang Zhimin wants to fight a price war, we will fight with them. With the current earning power of soap, if we really fight a price war, they are not our opponents, and those suppliers will Won't you tell Fang Zhimin that I asked them to raise the price? "

Liu Yue shook her head and said with a smile: "Su Mo, a price war is a way to hurt one thousand of the enemy and eight hundred of self-injury. The most taboo thing in the mall is to hurt both sides.

Moreover, Fang Zhimin and others have deep family backgrounds. If they want to fight a price war with them, there will be no three or five months to tell the winner. I told you that shopping malls are like battlefields. Pay attention to the way to kill the enemy at the least cost.

As for those suppliers, they are businessmen, and their ultimate goal is to make money. As long as they make money, they will not care about the competition between us and Fang Zhimin. As long as they are not fools, they will not treat our transactions with them. If you tell me, they would be willing to receive two gifts and ship the goods at a high price. "

Su Mo nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Then what shall we do next?"

Liu Yue pouted, and Su Mo hurriedly handed the teacup on the stone table to Liu Yue's mouth.

Liu Yue took a sip of tea and said: "Next, let's stand still and let Fang Zhimin and the others play around for a few days. They are blindly promoting low prices. The sales of gouache must be huge in a short period of time. This kind of loss-making business If we don't let them do it for a while, how can we be happy.

And I'm sure, it's impossible for him to lower the price before he confirms that our inventory is rotten, otherwise it will fall short, and all you have to do now is wait.

When they feel that your product is rotten, they will restore the price of the gouache to the normal price. At that time, you can sell it.

You went to Fugui Lane yesterday and brought Lin Yi, a descendant of the Lin family, to the soap workshop in Yangjiacun. You even built a gouache workshop for him, didn't you just want to control the supply channels in your own hands?
At that time, there will be no suppliers to make the difference. Even if you sell Zaozhi gouache at a lower price, you won’t lose money. If the price hits a new low, then customers will come to Su’s shop again. Guess what Fang’s will do ? "

A light flashed in Su Mo's eyes, and he said, "You mean, they will bite the bullet and go to the dark?"

Liu Yue nodded and said: "After this first round of price war, these gouache merchants must have consumed a lot. They can't afford the second round of price war, but they have to fight it.

The first round of the price war has cost them money out of their pockets. If they don't go all the way to the black, they can only lose their money. At this time, we can win the greatest victory at the lowest cost and sell these gouaches in one fell swoop. If the merchants are driven out of the market in Taikang County, the Su family will be the only one at that time. "

Fang Zhimin thought he was very smart, but he didn't expect that in front of Liu Yue, his tricks were just small tricks that couldn't stand the spotlight at once.

Most businessmen in this era are short-sighted, not as far-sighted as modern capitalists. This is the tragedy of businessmen under the small-scale peasant economy.

But Liu Yue has the characteristics of a capitalist, and the strengths of the two sides are not on the same level at all.

At this time, Liu Yue's expression changed, and she asked, "You have prepared well in Yangjia Village! With Fang Zhimin's temperament, he will definitely try his best to obtain the refining process of soap, so don't be taken advantage of."

Su Mo chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the trick has already been set up there, just wait for him to dance."
