Chapter 280 The Phoenix Queen in Shengshi ([-])

With the arrival of autumn, farmers have harvested the grain and began to hand over to the country. The rest is not only used for storage to survive the winter, but also sold to merchants for money.

It's just that this year coincides with a drought. Farmers have less harvests and less to sell. Merchants are trying their best to keep costs down and raise prices.

"Hey... My Miku is going to bottom out, but it's too expensive to sell..."

"Hey, why isn't my flour depot not? The purchase price has been repeatedly lowered by those people, and there is even a newcomer who paid a high price!!!"

"Yes, yes, it's the same here! It's not an option to continue like this!"

"Boss Ji is here, stop talking!"

Following a shopkeeper's reminder, all the shopkeepers shut their mouths and sat on chairs, sitting upright.

For Boss Ji Zimo Ji, they were all a little afraid. After all, as an imperial merchant, he naturally possessed management and economic talents, equivalent to controlling the accounts of the entire Feng Dynasty. Can they not be feared and admired?
"Boss Ji."

"Yeah." Ji Zimo looked at the shopkeepers with a veil on, and the shopkeepers were all women, so he naturally wanted to avoid suspicion.

"Tell me about this month's harvest." Ji Zimo sat in the front center and flipped through the ledger.

"This month... Miku's profit is [-]% less than last month..."

"Our flour depot has [-]% less."

"Twenty-and-a-half percent of the taverns are missing..."

"The hotel also lost [-]% of its profit..."

"..."

"Stop! Isn't there anyone who has lost profits?" Ji Zimo put down the account book. The profits of the properties under his name have always increased every month. Why have they all decreased this month?It's too much of a coincidence, right?

"Yes..." A very delicately dressed woman opened her mouth, "Meiyu Pavilion is the same as last month, neither more nor less."

"..." Ji Zimo frowned and thought for a while, "I heard that recently, a merchant named Tianxia started to develop various industries in Fengchao?"

"Yes, except for the brothel industry, which is not involved, almost all the others have opened stores. They also deliberately raised the purchase price and lowered the selling price. However, the products are better than ours, and the customers have gone to them!"

"Humph, are you asking for a price?" Ji Zimo's mouth curled into a sneer. People who dared to bid with him in the past all went bankrupt in the end. He didn't believe it. The world is just a newborn cowboy who is not afraid of tigers. A solid veteran.

"Order, we will also lower the price, but the profit is less. It's not like we haven't lowered it before." Ji Zimo put down the account book, then got up and left, "If this little thing can't be done well, I think you should also take care of yourself. Years have passed."

The shopkeepers all looked at each other, unable to express their sorrows. If they could really lower the price and beat others, they wouldn't be helpless here...

"Hey, forget it, let's lower the price when we go back." Because Bingfeng introduced the shareholding system to Ji Zimo, Ji Zimo also implemented this policy to expand the industry. Many shopkeepers became shareholders, so the store's profits are directly proportional to their own dividends. , lowering prices, which means their dividends are much less.

But so what, it's better than being forced to leave the store. Although they can still get dividends every month, they don't control the store by themselves, but someone else runs it. The risk is too great, and they don't feel at ease...

"Then go back and lower the price..." The shopkeepers also left their seats and left the meeting place.
