Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

The impact brought by Qibaozhai broke out completely one month later, and it broke the market balance of the entire Jiangnan region. People in this era may not understand this word, but they all know that if a place that is originally balanced, a place If some products are suddenly sold at a low price, and what they sell are high-end consumer goods, it will definitely have an impact on similar sales stores. Among them, Xue's store has suffered the biggest loss.

This is not the most serious thing. The key is that everyone's perception of glass objects has begun to have a faintly different idea, that is, this object does not seem to be so expensive.This price is raised by shops like Xue’s, which makes the buyers very unhappy. You said that if the quality exceeds a lot, we have nothing to say. It is obviously the same thing. Why do you compare it to the other? Others are more expensive.Then they fell to Qibaozhai one after another, even unwilling to buy other things in Xue's shop.

"Several shopkeepers in Jiangnan have arrived." Xue Ping watched Xue Pan stay up all night to read all the account books reported from Jiangnan, and advised him to take a break before going to see the shopkeepers, but Xue Pan refused.

"This time is just right. Steward Ping, please ask the kitchen to prepare more breakfast food. If you come here so early, I am afraid that the shopkeepers have not eaten, so they can't talk about things hungry. When Licorice comes back, let him come to me directly With that said, Xue Pan took the circles he had recorded and walked towards the meeting hall.

Before Xue Pan arrived in the hall, he heard a lot of discussions. In the usual quiet atmosphere of the Xue family, such voices seemed discordant, and the people inside were full of anxious complaints.

"I said why this happened when the master went to the capital, but I don't know what to do this time."

"Yeah, yeah, don't we have to lower the price accordingly? Isn't that just admitting that the price we set first was inflated? Seeing that several other merchants on the street couldn't stand it and started to lower the price, I felt a long time in my heart." It’s like weeds, but we can only wait for the boss’s instructions.”

"You're not bad, I just have customers there, and they accuse us of disrupting the whole market and slaughtering them as fools. Can you blame us? It was the foreigners who made this thing in the first place. The price has been raised."

Xue Pan listened to their gossip and entered the main hall. When everyone saw the uncle coming, they also silenced all of a sudden, and their hearts were still beating. Xue Pan, can you do it, he is a child who is changing his teeth.

"All shopkeepers rushed here non-stop, I'm afraid I haven't eaten yet, let's fill up my stomach first and then think about countermeasures." Then he asked the servants to bring in the breakfast food, which was quite rich in content.Eight or nine shopkeepers looked at each other. Well, smelling this tempting smell, I was a little hungry. Seeing that Xue Pan on the main seat stopped talking and started eating, I had to pick up the tableware and eat stand up.I don't know if it's because the food tastes so good, or because my stomach was warmed up by the hot breakfast in the late autumn morning, and I'm not so restless anymore.

After everyone finished their breakfast in peace, their tense nerves were relaxed a little. "Okay, everyone can calm down now, let's talk about what happened this month. I know that everyone thinks that I am still young, and I am not as experienced in this matter as those present here. If we discuss it together, there will always be a solution.”

These shopkeepers also knew that Xue Pan saw the anxious look just now, thinking that he was calm and embarrassed that he didn't have a child yet, and it was Xue Pan's calm look that infected them, so they also started Talked about it in an orderly manner.

"Master, if there is no preparation for this matter for a month, it will never explode suddenly. When those shops were being renovated, we also thought that we would open a shop similar to Shanhai Pavilion. There are quite a few shops selling the same items as Xue’s on this street, and everyone sells yours and I do mine, doesn’t it affect each other! It’s unbelievable that this time, the strange thing called Qibaozhai appeared. You just broke the rules."

"Who says it's not? This is obviously disrupting the market. They're making less money if they do that. Why bother? Others will also drop their prices. At that time, there won't be many people going to Qibaozhai."

"If you want to say that this incident not only affects the business of the Shanhaige family, it also affects other shops of the Xue family. Everyone feels that the things of the Xue family are expensive, although there is no one in the market that can pay us back. The store has high-quality goods, but it still lost some customers.”

Xue Pan listened to what they had said one by one, picked up the teacup beside him, brewed the tea in his hand, and took a sip, "So even the tea shop has been hit? Shopkeeper Hao, where is your influence? Is it big?"

Shopkeeper Hao was named alone for some reason, "Young master, the impact of the tea shop is not very big. Everyone looks for the taste. Besides, the price of tea has been fixed for hundreds of years. Everyone has long been used to it." .”

"So, shopkeepers should have discovered a few key points from the words just now. The first thing that bears the brunt is that this matter is aimed at Xue's family. As everyone said, the big deal is to lower the price. But in the hearts of customers, Xue The price of Jiashanhaige is the benchmark price of these high-end items. If it is lowered, it will be a slap in the face, saying that we set the price in the past. Therefore, other stores can lower it, but if we lower it, we must think carefully and have an explanation .

Leaving aside, who is behind this incident? In the past, small shops did not compete with the Xue family's shops. First, they could make a profit. Second, it was because they did not have the ability to make things bigger. It is an imperial merchant, which is different from other shops.However, no one has ever said that the Xue family can sit back and relax. The imperial merchants rely on the favor of the saints back then, but after all, shopping malls are like battlefields, and the saints have a heart. We also need to be strong. What to do again?Or do you think that the great grace of the emperor will always fall on the Xue family's head.To put it bluntly, you have never thought that you can always be the shopkeeper of the Xue family, and don't promote your children and grandchildren. "

The shopkeepers are all old people who have been in the mall. Hearing this, he understands the meaning behind Xue Pan, and breaks out in a cold sweat. The uncle is saying that no matter how great the grace is, the one on the dragon chair is gone. After that, it’s all in vain. Who knows if the next one will not be used to the wealth of their Xue family? Now the emperor is in his early sixties. Since ancient times, how many emperors have lived over sixty? When the dragon chair is replaced by another person, it is a good question whether the good life of the Xue family is still alive.

All of a sudden, the meeting hall suddenly fell silent. Xue Pan looked around at the faces of the shopkeepers, and saw that their complexions were not very good. I am afraid that such a thing would bring fear to them if he broke it all at once. , This is a natural fear of imperial power. Of course, Xue Pan never thought about letting the shopkeepers not have such a fear. This is absolutely unrealistic, but it is impossible to let them know anything. Every step is crucial.

"Everyone has worked in the Xue family not for a year or two, but for more than ten or twenty years. To put it bluntly, if the Xue family collapsed on the way of being suppressed, you will not be able to please, so don't think about it. Withdrawing from the shore, everyone was stamped with the word "Xue", which is really a blessing and a share of suffering."

How to do this, several shopkeepers unconsciously looked up at Xue Pan, if they have understood now, the uncle is very clear in his heart, maybe there is already a solution. "Master, what do you think we should do now? If Qibaozhai has a backstage, how should we deal with it?"

"It's not the most difficult time yet. Even if Qibaozhai has a backer, the biggest person is still the emperor, and the Xue family is still the imperial merchant, and the relationship between the Xue family and the four kings and eight princes can't be moved by anyone. That’s why, it’s still about business.” For the first time, Xue Pan felt that the four kings and eight princes, an interest group that was about to withdraw from the stage of history, were useful. At least for more than ten years, because of their contribution to opening up Daqing, He can still enjoy the favor until the new emperor ascends the throne and establishes a solid foundation. If there is no real successor, what is waiting may be rapid destruction.

"My lord means that this is a contest between us and Qibaozhai, and the other party has already taken the lead. But we can't follow suit and lower the price."

"Shopkeeper Li is right, sir, can we launch a new gadget to attract the attention of customers?"

Xue Pan looked at the person who spoke, he had been in business for many years, and he just came up with an idea, "Then tell me, what are you launching?"

"Well, Xiyang doesn't have any new items coming in. If a restaurant can produce new dishes or something, but places like Shanhai Pavilion, not everything is available, either it is strange, or it has the taste of antiques. "

"Several shopkeepers, have you ever thought about what Shanhai Pavilion sells? Antique calligraphy and paintings? Western curiosities? Or are they just expensive things on the market. These individual houses can also be sold, and antiques have long been priced so that they are not easily affected Shock. But it’s hard to say about Western items. They were introduced during the founding of the Daqing Dynasty. After improvements by craftsmen, they have more exquisite shapes. After being fired, what if something like Qibaozhai happens again in the future?"

Several shopkeepers looked at me and I looked at you, but they couldn't get a clue. Isn't this how business has been done for thousands of years?Bibi has a bigger background, Bibi has a wider network, and those who can't compare will go bankrupt, and those who can make a big trend are those who say what they say. "What do you mean, sir?"

Xue Pan looked out the window. At this time, the land of Daqing has not realized that an era of global business is coming, and many rules will be ruthlessly broken. If it remains unchanged, it is not as simple as losing to Qibaozhai, but It was lost to the shadow of the west baring its fangs.

"What we have to do is to stand at the forefront and can only be copied, never surpassed."
