Xiang Yang knew what his father was thinking. He smiled and said, "That's a good thing. By then, the competition will be fair and no one will be able to play such tricks. In fact, everyone's acquisition price is about the same as ours now. By then, what we will compete on is service attitude."
Xiang Yang felt that his father would actually have a great advantage among the seafood buyers in Huhai Town in the future.
First of all, the difference between Xiang's father and the three seafood buyers in the town is that the three seafood buyers in the town seem to have exploited all the fishermen in Huhai Town, but in fact they have offended all the fishermen in Huhai Town a long time ago, while Xiang's father has never offended any fishermen in Huhai Town.
From this point of view, the three seafood buyers in the town are doomed to collapse in the future, but Xiang's father can still continue his purchasing business.
By that time, Xiang's father would be considered the oldest seafood buyer in Huhai Town, and because he was a resident of Huhai Town, he had the advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first.
Xiang Yang told all of this one by one. Xiang's father's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened. He seemed to have imagined that he would become the largest buyer in Huhai Town in the future.
"This is not enough." Zhang Qicheng suddenly said at this time.
"Hmm?" Xiang Yang and Xiang's father both looked at Zhang Qicheng.
Mother Xiang stood up and said, "I'm full. I'll go make tea for you."
"I have a way to drive those three fishmongers away in advance." Zhang Qicheng said, "And the method is very simple. Aren't they driving up the prices now? We just need to follow their pricing and increase the purchase price as well."
Father Xiang frowned, "The price I set at the moment is just a little lower than the price you gave me, Boss Zhang. If it's any higher, I'll just be losing money."
"It's just a loss for the sake of publicity." Zhang Qicheng said with a smile, "It won't be long before those three fishmongers leave. You can make a profit by losing money at this time. After those three fishmongers leave, who among the many fishermen in Huhai Town will not remember your kindness? Under the same conditions, who will not give priority to sending their catch to you?"
Father Xiang was somewhat tempted, but he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he looked at Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang remained silent. He did not quite agree with what Zhang Qicheng suggested.
In Xiang Yang's opinion, Zhang Qicheng was so used to doing big business that he hadn't done small business for a long time, so he even forgot the psychological changes that occur when doing small business.
If Xiang's father followed the three seafood buyers in raising prices at this time, Xiang Yang would know without a doubt that the three seafood buyers would definitely continue to raise prices, and they would only increase the prices by one or two yuan.
If Xiang's father continues to raise the price, then no matter how high the price he sets, the three seafood buyers will raise the price to one or two dollars higher than Xiang's father.
This will really turn into a vicious cycle of price gouging.
By that time, the price of ordinary sea fish that was originally ten yuan per catty may rise to twenty yuan per catty, and the four seafood buyers will compete in consumption to see who can last longer.
With Xiang's father's financial resources, he would undoubtedly be the first to be defeated.
After Xiang's father was defeated, he definitely didn't get to eat the mutton but ended up getting into trouble.
Because as soon as Xiang's father is defeated, the three seafood purchasing agencies in the town will definitely lower their prices.
At that time, seafood buyers from outside were moving into Huhai Town, and the three seafood buyers currently in Huhai Town would soon have to pack up and leave.
When that time comes, the fishermen who are used to selling seafood at high prices will be furious when they see the price of seafood fall back to its original level. They will vent their anger directly on Xiang's father and the three seafood buyers in the town.
But by that time, the three seafood buyers in the town had already left, and Xiang's father was the only one left who could allow the fishermen of Huhai Town to vent their anger.
"Forget it." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "Anyway, our family doesn't rely mainly on purchasing seafood, so it's pretty good to be able to purchase the catch from Xiayanlong Village."
Father Xiang nodded immediately, "I think so too."
In fact, Xiang's father didn't think so much about Xiang Yang at all. He just felt that it was not worth it to make a profit at a loss. He just wanted to do a day's work and earn a day's money. He would not do business that would lose money.
Zhang Qicheng understood Father Xiang's idea after a little thought. He nodded. "At a time like this, it is a good idea to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances."
Xiang Yang spoke again at this time? "Actually there is another way."
"Oh?" Zhang Qicheng looked at Xiang Yang with a smile, "Just tell me what you want to do."
Xiang Yang smiled slightly, "So we let the seafood buyers from outside to settle in Huhai Town in advance and improve the seafood market in Huhai Town in advance? Just let those three seafood buyers get out."
Zhang Qicheng immediately shook his head and rejected Xiang Yang's idea. "Now there is only one big ship in your entire town. Which seafood buyer would be willing to enter your Hu Hai at this time... Hmm?"
Zhang Qicheng looked up suddenly.
Xiang Yang smiled slightly. "It depends on whether you, Brother Zhang, think highly of our seafood market in Huhai Town."
"This is not a question of whether I like him or not." Zhang Qicheng said with a wry smile: "Boss Xiang can be said to be my agent in Huhai Town. If I send someone else here, wouldn't it be redundant?"
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "My father is your agent in the town, but what about the port? I don't believe you won't send someone to wait there when the time comes."
Zhang Qicheng naturally understood what Xiang Yang meant by the port.
Will Xiang Yang buy a large ocean-going fishing vessel in the near future? Will other villagers in Yanlong Village also buy at least one small or medium-sized ocean-going fishing vessel? Such a lineup is indeed worthy of Zhang Qicheng, who is engaged in seafood wholesale, to send someone to wait at the dock of Yanlong Village to collect the fish.
"Okay." Zhang Qicheng agreed, "Then I will send a few people to Huhai Town tomorrow, and let him come here to practice his business skills first."
"Thank you." Xiang Yang raised his glass.
Zhang Qicheng smiled and shook his head, then raised his glass and clinked it with Xiang Yang's.
After taking a sip, Zhang Qicheng said, "No need to thank me. This is all the fault of those three fishmongers. Otherwise, with the foundation they have laid in Huhai Town over the years, the development of Huhai Town's fishing industry might be an opportunity for them."
Xiang Yang shook his head and disagreed with Zhang Qicheng's statement.
Indeed, those three seafood buyers have exploited the fishermen of Hu Hai Town for a long time, and have also hindered the development of the fishing industry of the entire Hu Hai Town for a long time? To the extent that they have become a cancer that Hu Hai Town has to remove.
But it cannot be denied that over the past decade or so, their practice has indeed made them a lot of money.
Xiang Yang and Zhang Qicheng talked for a long time before they finally decided on a plan to remove the three cancers in Huhai Town.
