From the moment Taobao started selling anti-epidemic materials and jointly announced the correct anti-epidemic matters with CCTV, the people who had been frightened by rumors gradually became more rational, and various anti-epidemic materials that had been sold at sky-high prices also began to collapse.
In areas with confirmed cases, people have successfully placed orders on Taobao to purchase anti-epidemic supplies. In areas without confirmed cases, people's concerns have obviously been greatly alleviated, and the demand for products such as isatis root and disinfectant is not as high as before. urgent.
Especially after Taobao objectively stated that the efficacy of isatis root was unproven, even in areas with confirmed cases, people's enthusiasm for isatis began to decline rapidly.
That night, many pharmacies sold the isatis root they had previously stocked at reduced prices, from two hundred to one hundred and fifty, from one hundred and fifty to one hundred, and from one hundred to eighty. The profiteers became increasingly desperate. Constantly testing the maximum limit of what consumers can buy, but almost no one cares.
Some pharmacies are open until eleven or even twelve o'clock in the evening, and the price tags at the door are constantly being revised and lowered, but still few people are interested. Most pharmacies stayed up until midnight and failed to sell a pack of isatis root.
The entire pharmaceutical sales industry is in mourning!
That drugstore that was vandalized by the crowd in the evening. When the owner and his brother were lying in the hospital together, his wife was still holding on to her drugstore with tears in her eyes. Compared with the flesh injuries they suffered, they spent 80,000 yuan to stock up on 1,000 packs of isatis root. This is their biggest problem right now.
The landlady kept lowering the price from one hundred and two to five and a half, but the pedestrians passing by in a hurry didn't even look at it.
When it dropped all the way to 80, it still couldn't be sold.
The proprietress called her husband and told him that the price of 80 had been on the market for half an hour. Not to mention that it was open, not even a single person came in to ask. If this continues, I'm afraid the store will be sold at a loss tomorrow.
The drugstore owner who was injured and lying on the hospital bed was filled with despair. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Close the door. Let's see if it drops to 70 tomorrow. The most important thing is to get rid of it quickly. This time we really lost everything." ,Why!"
Late at night, many drug store owners from all over the country closed their stores unwillingly when they saw that there was no ghost on the street. The isatis root accumulated on the drug store counter and in the warehouse became the biggest bomb in their minds. These isatis roots were like It is the biggest economic bubble they have ever encountered in their lives, and it was blown up with their own money. Once it bursts, they will lose everything.
After these drugstore owners were on tenterhooks all night, they opened their doors early the next morning, hoping that Li Mu's influence would be weakened and the market would pick up. However, when they actually started operating, they discovered that the market was not as good as before. There was no recovery.
Not only did it not recover, but it collapsed even faster!
Some store owners have lowered their prices to less than 80. Nowadays, there are still isatis root pharmacies on the market, which basically buy goods at this price. In other words, some people are already selling at a loss.
The landlady, whose husband was still lying in the hospital, set the price to 70 yuan early in the morning, but the situation still didn't get any better. People seemed to have suddenly lost their enthusiasm for isatis root. It turned out that their eyes lit up when they saw the word "isatis root". I don’t even bother to look at it now.
Not only isatis root, the market for white vinegar, disinfectant and masks also began to cool down instantly.
A bottle of white vinegar costing tens to hundreds of dollars was snatched away by people before yesterday, but no one wants it today.
The supermarket owner, like the drugstore owner, felt his heart sink to the bottom.
On this morning that made profiteers grief-stricken, Taobao gave them another huge blow: just when they opened their doors for business, a considerable number of Taobao orders had already begun to be delivered.
Taobao logistics is already very fast, not to mention that it adopts a self-built warehousing model, which eliminates the need for inter-provincial transportation. Employees on the entire logistics front are working overtime to ensure the transportation of epidemic prevention materials, so the order last night , the delivery started early this morning, and the efficiency was so fast that it was unbelievable.
Starting at seven o'clock in the morning, citizens in provincial capital cities have successively received the anti-epidemic materials they ordered.
This lightning-fast speed stunned all the citizens. Not only that, even the goods they received surprised them.
The cartons used by Taobao to carry anti-epidemic materials this time were specially customized from carton factories. The quality is only one aspect. More importantly, the cartons are not the traditional original color of cardboard, but have a green and white coating design. This color The combination makes people look very refreshing, delicate and elegant, and makes people feel very good visually and psychologically;
In addition to the express waybill, the packaging also has the logo of Taobao and Taobao Logistics printed on it, as well as a slogan: Taobao Logistics, no matter when and where, the mission will be achieved.
When you open the package, in addition to the products ordered by consumers, there is also a gift from Taobao, a sheet of relevant matters that need to be paid attention to in preventing epidemics jointly launched by CCTV, reminding people that infectious diseases are not terrible, as long as they are scientifically prevented , the risk can be infinitely reduced.
All users are flattered by Taobao's thoughtfulness. Very few people have experienced such a considerate and even helpful shopping experience. It is also operated online and delivered to your door, which avoids going out in person and reduces the risk of infection. This is a brand new experience brought to them by Taobao, allowing everyone to truly feel the extraordinary charm of online shopping.
Taobao packages continue to be delivered, and epidemic prevention materials on the market continue to plummet.
By morning, the price of isatis root on the market had dropped below 50 yuan.
In addition, white vinegar has plummeted to 20 yuan and is still unsaleable. The price of disinfectant is still slightly stable. After all, this product is an effective anti-epidemic product and is more reliable than the other two.
At noon, CCTV's midday news dedicated a few minutes to teach everyone how to scientifically prevent the epidemic, and hired a large number of genuine experts from authoritative institutions to dispel the rumors one by one. This further exacerbated the collapse of commodity prices and made the originally high-minded people Prices have completely collapsed.
The proprietress sat in her shop crying without tears.
She has set the price to 45 yuan, but still no one buys it.
She called and reported the situation to her husband truthfully, but he remained silent on the other end of the phone for a long time.
If it still can’t be sold at 45, then it will have to be reduced to 40.
Let’s not talk about whether 40 can be sold. Even if we sell them all short at a price of 40, we will still have a net loss of 40,000 yuan!
This is basically their pharmacy’s net profit for a year.
Just before the pharmacy owner made a decision, several aunts came to the door aggressively.
The landlady looked familiar to them, but couldn't remember them for a moment.
After the aunts came in, they all took out isatis roots from their bags, threw them on the counter, and said angrily: "Return! We bought these from your house for 200 yuan a pack yesterday. We don't want them now. Please refund the money quickly!"
"Refund?!" the landlady said hurriedly: "We don't accept refunds here!"
"No return or exchange?" One of the aunts suddenly became furious and shouted: "You profiteers, you deliberately raise the price so high to deceive us people, and you still don't give us a return?! Believe it or not, I'm going to call the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to file a complaint. you!"
"You..." The landlady was also a little panicked, but she could only argue: "We didn't force you to buy it. You all bought it voluntarily, and now you want to return it. Isn't this going back on your word?"
One of the aunts pointed at her nose and cursed: "You're such a shameless businessman? Yesterday you were selling for 200, and today you're selling for 45. Aren't you also going back on your word? If you don't return the goods to us today, we will sue you." go!"
When the proprietress didn't know what to do, several people came together to return the product. They bought Banlangen from the store a few days ago. The price they bought at that time was 100 yuan, and the large packaging had been removed, but they still I was furious and asked to return the product, but they also offered a compromise plan, which was to return it in small packages. If I bought it for 100 yuan, it would be reduced to four yuan per package. For the remaining packages, I would return it at four yuan per package.
The landlady was even more panicked now. More than a dozen people surrounded her and almost wanted to tear her alive to relieve their hatred. She had not sold the goods worth 80,000 yuan, and now there were so many people asking for returns. And I don’t know if there will be more people asking for returns. If you really return the goods to them, you will lose more. But if you don’t return the goods to them, looking at their attitude, it is impossible to give up.
Just when the landlady couldn't come up with a solution, many consumers came to the door again. They were all consumers who had bought Banlangen at high prices here before. After realizing that they had been deceived by profiteers, they came to ask for an explanation. No one's money comes from strong winds, let alone dozens of times more money spent here.
The same situation happened at the same time in almost all pharmacies that were hyping Isatis root. Countless pharmacies were smashed throughout the morning. Some pharmacy owners could not bear the pressure and had no choice but to refund consumers. In this way, not only was it stressful, As a large amount of high-priced isatis root could not be sold, all the money they had earned had to be spit out; some bosses would rather die than refund the money. As a result, a large number of citizens jointly reported to the industry and commerce. In extraordinary times, the industry and commerce immediately reported the matter to the police. Stores were closed; some owners simply closed their doors and stopped opening, hoping to wait until the storm had passed. But in this case, they would lose all the isatis root in their hands, and angry consumers would sue the stores. When it comes to industry and commerce, it is inevitable that stores will be closed down.
All in all, all businesses that have raised prices are now regretting it. They will eventually have to swallow the bitter fruit they brewed.
However, Li Mu has also become the biggest enemy in the eyes of these merchants who are driving up prices. When Li Mu does this, not only is their financial path cut off, but many of them lose all their money.
Businessmen who speculated and resold materials immediately faced large-scale losses. Many people lost tens of thousands, and there were also many people who lost hundreds of thousands. There were even many people who sold their houses, borrowed debts, and borrowed loan sharks in order to make a quick buck. However, Unexpectedly, the firewood was instantly wiped out. A warehouse of isatis root that was originally worth millions could not even collect tens of thousands of dollars. Overnight, people were wailing all over the place.
