I open a bookstore in the human world

Putting down the phone, Ou Meng's chest was heaving. She took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, inhaled again, exhaled again, but still failed to calm the anger in her heart——

What exactly is going on?Both Liu Degui and Yuan Xingliang said that the business in their store had been greatly affected, and Zheng Jun didn't plan to make a move yet. What was he thinking? !

Just now she called Liu Degui, and the other party said that he had already asked Zheng Jun to explain the matter, but from what Zheng Jun said, he didn't seem to want to intervene in this matter.

What the hell are you doing!Zheng Jun made it clear that he didn't want to get involved in this matter. Could it be that he just watched the Shadow Bookstore snatch away all their customers?What good does this do for Zheng Jun?As far as she knows, Zheng Jun's Baiwen Bookstore has also been greatly affected by the large-scale activities of the Shadow Bookstore this time.

Zheng Jun is a person with a strong desire to control. It is impossible for him to let himself be manipulated by others, unless... Ou Meng suddenly thought of a possibility, his heart thumped, and his face changed dramatically.

Unless, the shadow bookstore's behavior has been approved by Zheng Jun.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, Ou Meng gritted her silver teeth and stomped her feet anxiously: If this is the case, then are they still playing ball?It will be too late when the Shadow Bookstore completely takes over the local book market and the citizens recognize the brand of this bookstore!

Zheng Jun is unreliable, and now there is only one way: find other bookstores to form alliances.She still doesn't believe it, just relying on an outsider from the Shadow Bookstore, can they really be defeated?

To Ou Meng's disappointment, among the bookstores she was looking for, only Yuan Xingliang and Liu Degui gave an accurate answer, saying that they wanted an alliance to deal with the shadow bookstore, while the attitudes of the other bookstore owners were more ambiguous, and did not say to join. Don't say no to join.

It's not their fault, after all, the "four major bookstores" have been pressing on their heads for so many years, which has caused them to be unable to expand.Nowadays, there seems to be a split within the "Four Big Bookstores". How can they lend a helping hand before they can watch the excitement?It's best for both sides to have a mutual loss, and they won't be the ones who will benefit by then?

What's more, what if the shadow bookstore does promotional activities?Anyway, their bookstore traffic has not been very high, and the shadow bookstore's activities have much less impact on them than the "big four bookstores".

Faced with this situation, the three of Ou Meng really had nothing to do: the combined face of the three of them was not as great as Zheng Jun's, and it was really difficult to drive these small bookstores.No way, I had no choice but to ignore these people and fight the shadow bookstore by themselves.

After discussing with Liu Degui and Yuan Xingliang, Ou Meng decided that the three of them would also start activities: Isn't it just a price war?The three of them have been operating in Shan'an City for many years, and their family background is not unreasonable. Are they afraid that they will fail?

As for how active?According to the standards of the shadow bookstore, it is only a little cheaper than his house, so he is so pissed off!

Unexpectedly, not long after Ou Meng posted a promotional poster with full discounts, he received news that the Shadow Bookstore had adjusted the event discount again, no more, no less, just a little cheaper than Ou Meng and the other three. lost.

Ou Meng was out of breath and adjusted her activities again.

Shadow Bookstore soon followed.

……

The citizens of Shan’an City feel that they are so happy recently. Several big bookstores in this city are competing to do discount activities. The books, stationery and other commodities in the store are like free money. The same things are cheaper than online shopping. Don’t take the opportunity to buy more I feel sorry for myself when I go back a little bit!

However, many citizens are waiting and watching: these bookstores are obviously engaged in a price war, and the intensity of the activity is getting stronger day by day. Today is cheaper than yesterday, and tomorrow will be cheaper than today. If this is the case, why not wait until the cheapest It is the most cost-effective to buy again.

Of course, no one knows when this price war will last. Now the prices of several bookstores have dropped to a very surprising level. Bianying Bookstore said that if you spend over 200 yuan and get 80 yuan off, you can also participate in the in-store lucky draw. The highest prize is the latest mobile phone produced by Guoguojia, and there are many prizes for other levels of awards.

"Damn it, this Song guy is crazy?!" Liu Degui was so anxious that he turned around and complained to the other two allies, "If you continue to lower the price like this, you will lose money!"

"We lose, and they lose even more." Yuan Xingliang sneered.

Ou Meng frowned: "No, they don't necessarily lose money. You know, except for books, [-]% to [-]% of the other cultural and creative products in their store are self-produced, and they only need to pay the cost price. "

In the past two years, Song Lan has paid great attention to the development of her own brand. From the postcards at the beginning, to the handbook related, and even small things such as fountain pens and erasers, they are all "shadow" brands created in cooperation with the factory.At present, in the cultural and creative industry, the cultural and creative supplies of the "Shadow" brand are already well-known. This time the Shadow Bookstore held an event, and some people took the opportunity to buy from the store here, and then sold it online later. , earn the difference from it.

As for the cultural and creative products sold in other bookstores, they are of different brands and are obtained from different manufacturers. Naturally, the cost is much higher than that of shadow bookstores.

As for the well-known "Shadow" brand flower and fruit tea, it is even more amazing. There is a special counter for selling flower and fruit tea in the store. The line is nearly ten meters long, and they are all here to sell flower and fruit tea.Over there, Xie Daonian has even considered opening a branch of Shadow Tea in Shan'an City.

All in all, after this price war, Shadow Bookstore is still making a small profit with small profits but quick turnover.In contrast, the store of Ou Meng and the other three suffered a small loss. As for other bookstores that did not participate in the price reduction, such as Zheng Jun's Baiwen Bookstore, there is no business at all these days. I didn't care much about it, and organized most of the employees in the store to travel because of this - anyway, judging from the current situation, there is no need for so many people to go to work in the store.

Ou Meng was helpless, she really didn't expect that the three of them would still lose if they teamed up. This year's profits have already been lost. If they don't stop, I'm afraid even the money from last year and the year before will be wasted.

In fact, it is not impossible to fight if you want to fight, but the question is, is it meaningful to fight like this?It seems that the shadow bookstore still looks relaxed. Obviously, the other party is not short of money, and may be richer than the three of them combined.

The enemy's firepower is so fast, if they continue to fight, they must become cannon fodder.

Liu Degui had long thought of retreating. Although Yuan Xingliang didn't say anything, it was obvious from his recent actions that he was looking for a way out.

Alas, people's hearts are broken, and it's not easy to bring them out of the army.

In fact, Ou Meng and the others didn't know that although the Shadow Bookstore looked rich and powerful on the surface, in fact they should have no money long ago.Because of buying and renovating this villa, Song Lan originally borrowed a sum of money from the bank in the name of Shadow Bookstore, and it is still in the stage of repaying the loan.Fortunately, with Zuiyue's relationship, Mr. He made the decision in person, agreeing to "sponsor" a large sum of money to the Shadow Bookstore—in fact, the money was for Zuiyue's shares in He's industry, but Zuiyue was unwilling to accept it. , handed it over to Song Lan, and let him handle it completely.

Because of the money from the He family, Song Lan has the confidence to fight price wars with other bookstores.He asked Zheng Jun to cooperate before, and he also wanted Zheng Jun not to intervene in this matter.He had inquired a long time ago that Zheng Jun had a deep background, if he insisted on intervening, it would be difficult to succeed.

Zheng Jun finally agreed to Song Lan's request. He also wanted to take down the other three bookstores. Although there might be more rivals like Shadow Bookstore in the future, it would be better than fighting for jobs with the three bookstores, right?Shan'an City is so big, Zheng Jun thinks that Song Lan has no ability to swallow the whole market in one go.Taking a step back, even if Song Lan really wanted to do something, he believed that with his own ability, he could still handle it.

However, although Zheng Jun agreed to cooperate with Song Lan, he only agreed not to intervene. He himself does not intend to participate in the price war, which is a bit like "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight".If Song Lan wins, that's fine, but if he loses, he doesn't lose, and the three bookstores would not dare to do anything to him because of it.

It's not that Song Lan didn't know about Zheng Jun's little idea, but he didn't care much.His goal is not to occupy the entire market in Shan'an City. It can be said that he did not plan to be an enemy of other bookstores in the city at the beginning. However, other bookstores did not seem to want to give him a way out, so he had no choice but to fight back, leading to today's situation.

In Song Lan's opinion, it's nothing to show affection to Zheng Jun or suffer a little loss because of it. The shadow bookstore in Shan'an City is the first branch store outside the province, and Song Lan doesn't want to be disadvantaged because of these reasons.It would be worthwhile for Song Lan if he could gain a firm foothold in Shan'an City and enter the national market.

As a businessman, don't you pay attention to harmony and prosperity?

Seeing that the three alliances were about to lose their support, Song Lan suddenly visited Ou Meng.

"Boss Song is here, really a rare visitor." Seeing Song Lan again this time, Ou Meng didn't intend to show him any good looks at all. On the contrary, when he saw his face, Ou Meng hated it so much : Little boy, you don't look like a good person at first glance!

Song Lan didn't care about her sarcastic remarks, instead she found a seat in Ou Meng's office and sat down in Ou Meng's office as if familiar, and said to Ou Meng with a smile: "Boss Ou, please sit down."

Ou Meng: "..." No, this is my office, right?What does it mean for you to look like a master?

Ou Meng sat angrily on her boss chair.

Ou Meng didn't ask someone to pour tea, and Song Lan didn't care. He picked up the hot water pot on the table, took out a disposable paper cup, and got himself a cup of hot water.Ou Meng watched coldly from the side, the corners of her mouth twitching: This Song, really doesn't regard himself as an outsider.

Before Ou Meng got angry, Song Lan explained her reason for coming.

"You still have the nerve to cooperate with us?!" Ou Meng's eyes widened in shock, her cheeks flushed, obviously from anger.

She, Ou Meng, had never seen such a brazen person in her life. She had just finished teasing them, and then she put on a smiling face and said that she would cooperate.

Song Lan smiled calmly, took out a document from the briefcase she carried with her and handed it to Ou Meng, saying, "Boss Ou, don't be angry, read this before we talk."

Fortunately, Ou Meng still had some sanity, so he reluctantly flipped through the documents.

While Ou Meng was looking through the documents, Song Lan said: "Rainbow, Lantian and Yazhi, although these three bookstores are called the 'Four Big Bookstores' together with Baiwen, I think you should be very clear about the relationship between you and Zheng Jun. The gap in strength, right?"

Ou Meng rolled her eyes, pointed in the direction of the door, and said in a very unpleasant tone, "If you are here to mock me, please go out now."

Song Lan smiled: "Boss Ou, you misunderstood, why don't you read the document first?"

It took Ou Meng 10 minutes to read through the document, and then she couldn't help but frown, and looked at Song Lan in a daze: "What do you mean?"

"Our shadow doesn't intend to kill all of you," Song Lan said with a sincere smile, "Business is all about making money with harmony. If we can get along with everyone in peace, that's naturally the most ideal."

"Then you were still fighting a price war with us before?!" Ou Meng gave him a hard look.

"As a last resort," Song Lan spread her hands innocently, "If you don't do this, will Boss Ou agree to accept the above suggestion now?"

Ou Meng is speechless: Threat, this is Hong Guoguo's threat!
