Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1938

Just as the few people were about to walk in, a fellow blocked the way and said, "Duke Xun, I have something I want to tell you."

"Who are you?"

"The young one is the buddy of Wude Bank, named Qian Dakai!"

Zhang Liang frowned and said, "Aren't you from the five great noble families?"

"Report to Lord Xun, the young one was originally a clerk of the Changlefang Big Bank, and later the Wude Big Bank dug the young one here with [-] guan coins a month."

"I see. So what do you want to tell me?"

"Uh... It was normal for us to be in this situation before, but now, this situation is very abnormal!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Our conditions are too generous. Roughly speaking, the glazed vessel is a [-]% discount. Usually, people have to step through the threshold for such a cheap thing. But today, it is lukewarm and weird!"

Zhang Liang said in a deep voice: "This is all your guesswork, if you can't do it right, step back, don't disturb our army's morale."

Qian Dakai said neither humble nor overbearing: "The small one takes twenty cents from your Wude big bank every month, but you can't just take the money and do nothing. I'm sure that the Changlefang big bank has taken countermeasures. You Better go see it!"

He had hardly finished speaking when two clerks came down the street dejectedly.

It's really hard for Cen Wenwen to be so old. He walked three steps in two steps, and took two steps in one step. He came to the two guys and said, "What's the matter? Didn't I ask you to go to the gate of Changle Fang Fang Qianzhuang?" Pulling people? Why did you come back so soon?"

"Oh, you don't know! In front of the gate of Changlefang Daqianzhuang, there is a sea of ​​people surrounded, and it is impossible to squeeze through!"

"Why are you so stupid? If you can't squeeze through, you just shout outside! I don't believe it. We gave up such a big advantage, and no one is tempted."

"You look down on us brothers too much. We just eat this bowl of rice. How could we not shout? But no one paid any attention to us."

"Why is that?"

"I heard that Changlefang Big Bank also has a promotional event. As long as you deposit ten coins, you will get a small bottle of Jiutian Xianlu. Everyone is waiting for Jiutian Xianlu!"

"That's impossible. Perfume used to sell for [-] pennies a bottle and the supply was in short supply. How is it possible to save ten pennies and get a bottle now?"

"We also inquired about this. The bottle this time is smaller than the original bottle. Not only is the bottle smaller, but it is not full. It is probably equivalent to less than one component of the previous one."

"Then what is enough perfume for?"

"They call this a perfume sample, and it's probably good for one use."

"Isn't that too stingy?"

"That's pretty good. Now perfumes are priceless. It's said to be [-] guan a bottle, but you can't buy it with [-] guan. Now you can get a bottle if you save [-] guan, and you can change hands. It can be sold for a lot of money! It is much more cost-effective than our glassware!"

Zhang Liang said: "It seems that we still underestimated the power of perfume. This thing is much more attractive than glassware."

Li Youdao: "Glassware can be bought with money, but it's expensive. But perfume can't be bought with money, so people naturally have to buy perfume first. What's more, even from the perspective of profit, the profit we gave today is not enough. It is far inferior to Changlefang Big Bank."

Cen Wenwen asked anxiously: "Then what should we do? Are we just sitting there waiting to die?"

Zhang Liang thought for a while, and said: "It's okay, Jiutian Yulu is not easy to make. Even if each bottle is only one-tenth of the previous amount, the amount that so many people need is terrifying. So, what I mean is, wait!"

"Wait?"

"Yes, when his Nine Heavens Jade Dew is used up, people will naturally come to buy our glazed vessels!"

Li You scratched his head and said, "Duke Xun, this statement is inappropriate. Although I don't know how to do business, I also know that people have a lot of money. If people save all their money in Changlefang University Qian Zhuang, even if we have any magical tricks, it won't work."

Li Quan also said: "It's not easy to make Jiutian Xianlu, that's just our guess. If Guo Ye keeps a hand, he can actually make this thing on a large scale. We missed these few days, but it can be delayed for a year." But come on."

Cui Shaoze said: "Patriarch Li's opinion is still too optimistic. Our Wude Bank is newly opened, and it has neither reputation nor credibility. The start is not good, and this brand will be ruined!"

Zhang Liang said: "Then what do the Patriarchs mean?"

Li Quan said: "We can only wait for one day. If Guo Ye's perfume is still in sufficient supply tomorrow, we can only think of other ways! Wait, it will definitely not work."

Zhang Liangliang nodded and said, "Then follow Patriarch Li's words!"

The next day, after a lot of effort, several people squeezed into Wude Bank.It's not that Wude Bank's business is so good, but the queue at the gate of Changlefang Big Bank has reached their street!

Li You asked, "Why are there so many people crowded outside? Could it be that, as Duke Xun said, the supply of perfume in Changlefang Daqianzhuang is already insufficient?"

Zhang Liang said with a wry smile: "Sorry, I guessed wrong again this time. In fact, their perfume supply has been normal. The reason why there are so many people is because many people have not heard of this matter yesterday, and now the news is spreading , people are here to take advantage of it!"

"Then what do we do now?"

Zhang Liang sighed, and said: "No matter how wrong Zhang is, he doesn't know what to do now. Patriarch Li, you have seen a lot and know a lot, so I don't know what to do?"

Li Quandao: "Since we can't compare to them in terms of scarcity, we have only one solution!"

"any solution?"

"Reduce the price! And it can't be reduced by just a little bit. We want people to feel that saving money in Wude Bank is much more cost-effective than saving money in Changlefang Big Bank!"

"How much will it drop?"

"It used to be that if you save a hundred guan, you can take away one glazed bowl. From now on, if you save a hundred guan, you can take away three!"

After hearing this, Cen Wenwen's eyes darkened, and he said, "Patriarch Li, you can't do it!"

Chapter 1787 Schedule

Li Quan's stride this time is indeed a little bigger.

Taking the most common glass bowls and plates as an example, according to the market price, they are worth about two hundred guan.

Wude Bank has a big promotion for its opening. You can get a glazed plate with a deposit of [-] coins. Of course, this glazed plate is not a gift, it can only be regarded as a collateral given to customers by the bank.When the customer takes the one hundred guan money away, he must return the glazed plate.

In essence, this is similar to the [-]% discount on all glassware.They all reduced the price of existing glassware to half of the original price.

Although the profit margin is so large, the gross profit of Wude Bank is still very rich.

The cost of these glazed vessels is really too low. If they can be sold in large quantities at this price, it won't take long for Cen Wenwen to make a lot of money.

However, because of the competition with Changlefang Big Bank, once Li Quan became ruthless and continued to reduce the price by two-thirds, the result was completely different.

The glazed workshops of the five great gentry families belonged entirely to the five great gentry families.However, Wude Bank still owns the shares of Wei Ting, Li You, Zhang Liang and Cen Wenwen.Between the two, property is of course independent of each other.

In order to attack Guo Ye, they agreed that Liuli Workshop would supply the Wude Bank with glassware at cost price.Wude Bank is responsible for its own profits and losses after obtaining these glazed vessels.

Now, Li Quan stipulates that one hundred guan can buy three glazed bowls.This is already the price that Wude Bank received from Liuli Workshop.

On the surface, Wude Bank did not lose money after entering and exiting.But in fact, Wude Bank also has costs such as the expenses of the staff and the rent of the house.

It can be said that this price is completely at a loss.
