Chapter 244: The Battle of the Grain Shop (5)

Views:

"Not counting the three grain shops in Liu Mansion, there are still twenty-eight grain shops in Hejian and Hejian. After the price cut yesterday, all of them have taken the attitude of favor and hope today. It can be seen that they have doubted the grain storage in our grain depot. In this case, why not Coax them to come and buy food?"

For a grain shop, a few thousand stone grains are a large amount, but if 28 companies practice their skills, it is nothing at all.

Jiang Pengji has carefully prepared a budget, leaving part for restricted purchases, and the other part is sold at a high price to these bigwigs.

Xu Ke: "..."

Suddenly, he had the loneliness of a hero useless.

My husband is too capable, and I feel so melancholy as the right-hand man!

"But... do they really do that?"

Xu Ke didn't know much about business, and felt a little uneasy.

In fact, Jiang Pengji doesn't know much. After all, she is a genetic warrior, and fighting is the mainstream of her life. Most of the skills and knowledge she learns are close to practical combat, but the information in the era she lives in is extremely developed, and she can always see it.

She's not an expert, but she can still draw gourds just like that, not to mention the suppression of business in ancient times, she can naturally play around.

"Naturally. Even if we don't let out the rumor that the reserves are not enough, they have already secretly tested it."

In business, Jiang Pengji is a layman, but when it comes to cheating people and maximizing profits, she is the ancestor of this industry!

Whether it's the ancient times or the times before her, as a general, he is not a reckless and mindless person.

On the contrary, most of these people are wise and foolish.

Jiang Pengji can be favored by the old boss, stand out from many candidates, become the commander of the army, and lead an army, which is naturally not bad.

"Let the grain shop shopkeeper pay attention, and write down the faces of every grain buyer, as well as the grain they bought." Jiang Pengji said, "If it is expected, these grain shops should send people quietly from our grain shop. Buy food, test the truth."

She continued, "What you have to do is to spread the rumors, and at the same time let the grain shop shopkeeper and the clerk act in secret."

put on a show

What play

Naturally, he secretly talked about the lack of grain storage, and asked the shopkeeper to ask the owner how to move the next move.

As long as the people who came to buy grain "accidentally" heard this and took it back, Jiang Pengji's goal would be achieved.

Xu Ke sighed inwardly and said, "Well, Ke will go down and do it now."

"Well, let's go."

Regardless of Xu Ke's age, Jiang Pengji was always at ease when he was thorough and calm in doing things and handing things over to him.

Jiang Pengji knew things like a god. After noon, there were indeed several people who bought a large amount of grain, and one of them even bought a whole stone!

A stone, at other times, people with a little extra money in the family can afford it.

But in today's time when food prices are soaring, a stone is incredible.

Until sunset, the staff of the Liufu Grain Shop hurriedly ran into the grain shop through the side door, too anxious to wipe the sweat, and looked at the shopkeeper in a panic, as if there was something important to report, but he was obstructed by other things. When the people are present, it is difficult to speak directly.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper put down the guests he was receiving, and chatted with the staff in a corner. He could faintly hear words such as 1,900 stone, not enough. The inside of the grain store was very noisy, and there were people buying grain everywhere. It's hard to hear a conversation if it's not intentional.

However, among this group of people who buy grain, there are many "grain buyers" who are all the eyeliners of other grain shops.

"Is what you said true?"

Eyeliner replied, "It's true, I really heard them say that the grain storage is less than 1,990. If you continue to sell it like this, you won't be able to last for a few days."

After listening to the former, he pondered the Sutra for a while, and made a decision in his heart.

In addition to the three grain shops in Liufu, the other twenty-eight grain shops all hoped to make a big profit this time. Seeing that the people who bought grain went to the rival shops, they were also anxious, and even two had already Decided to drop the price the next day.

When they heard the news at first, they were all excited as if they had been beaten with blood.

One thousand nine hundred stone, which is not much allocated to twenty-eight grain shops.

If they eat this batch of grain from Liu Mansion, they will be able to continue to raise prices logically, and they will still be profitable.

Now the news of the civil unrest in Cangzhou is getting more and more intense, and the displaced people have not only spread to Zisang County, but have even spread to Hejian. This is a good opportunity to make a lot of money. After this village, there will be no such shop. How could he be disturbed by Liu Mansion

In a word, buy buy buy!

So, on the third day, the three grain shops under the name of Liu Mansion ushered in a large wave of "common people" who bought grain, which also led to the real grain buyers, so that those people who still wanted to continue their popularity made up their minds to buy... They all heard the rumors Now, the cheap food in Liu Mansion is running out!

If you don’t buy it now, you will have to buy food at a high price in the future. If you can’t afford it, you will have to starve to death.

On the third day, the business of the grain shop reached its peak.

Until the grain store closed, there were still many people who had not bought grain, and the shopkeeper and the staff could only persuade them to leave, "Today's grain is sold out, if you want to buy it, come back tomorrow, now The grain store is closing."

The people looked at each other in dismay, but in their hearts they thought that the shopkeeper's words were just perfunctory for them, and they felt extremely disappointed.

On the fourth day, the business of the grain shop was still good, but it was closed before noon, which further confirmed the rumor that the grain shop was short of food.

"Hmph, the governor of Liu County has merit in governance, but he is ignorant of doing business. It is stupid to give up watermelons and throw sesame seeds."

Many people laughed secretly in their hearts, Liu Mansion really made a lot of money, but that's all.

If you can hold your breath, you can earn five or six times, or even more money!

On the fifth day, the grain stores in Hejian County seemed to have negotiated and adjusted the prices of their own grain stores.

The price is here, if you like to buy it or not, if you don’t buy it, you will wait for the family to starve to death.

However, the expected customer did not come. After careful inquiry, the shopkeepers of several grain shops almost had a heart attack.

It was thought that the grain shop in Liu Mansion would not open again today, but the people found that they opened the shop earlier than usual.

"Eh, what is this?"

The people looked at the sign outside the grain store and couldn't understand it.

"It's a restricted purchase."

At this moment, a man in a blue Confucian shirt was standing in the crowd with a feather fan in his hand. Who else could it be if it wasn't Qi Guanrang

"Why the limit?"

One hundred people, ninety-nine illiterate people, how can they know what purchase restrictions are.

For scholars, the people all respected them, and they all gave way to Qi Guan, so that he could easily see the brand.

He stepped forward calmly, read the contents of the sign clearly, and then explained it again in a way that the people could understand.

"The grain shop is still open, but each citizen can only buy food for a family of four to chew for two days at most, and they won't sell if there is too much."

Limited purchase

This kind of sales method is unheard of and unseen, and many people feel that they can't adapt to it.

If so, doesn't it mean that they have to go to the grain shop every two or three days

Why not just sell it all at once

What are you making so much trouble for
