Daqin Engineers

After going back and forth several times, the situation has changed. Meng Liang Fei Ge told me that the cloth sent to Yanmen County could not be sold because the price of the cloth in Yanmen County had dropped to 38 yuan a horse.

Shen Bing was stunned when he heard it.

If the cloth produced in Yunzhong County sells for thirty-eight dollars a horse, there is still a profit, and it is still a big profit.

But the cloth in Yanmen County was sold for thirty-eight dollars... I was afraid that the raw materials and labor costs would not even be earned.

You must know that it was originally sold for fifty bucks, and the profit of ten bucks is already sky-high, so isn't this thirty-eight bucks at a loss?

If this is the case, how can Yanmen County keep the price down to this level?

After thinking about it, Shen Bing understood that someone wanted to monopolize the cloth industry in Yanmen County and fight a price war with Yunzhong County.

Shen Bing looked dumbfounded... Hand-woven fabrics actually want to fight a price war with hydro-woven fabrics?

Shen Bing guessed right, the cloth industry in Yanmen County has always been controlled by a businessman named Chen Yong, and Chen Yong has also recruited dozens of nursing homes based on his wealth earned over the years... It's actually a rogue.

In general, there are relatively few criminal offenders in Daqin, especially the formation of parties for private interests is not tolerated by the Qin law.

However, Yanmen County itself is remote and has only been recovered from Zhao Guo soon, and the Qin Law has not been implemented yet.

In fact, it was Wu Xiao of Yanmen County who hoped to use Chen Yong’s hand to manage Yanmen County... As the saying goes, a strong dragon is difficult to suppress a local snake. Wu Xiao will inevitably encounter situations such as dissatisfaction and unclear situation when he will manage Yanmen County in the future. So I want to keep these people first to stabilize the situation.

The cloths of Yunzhong County actually caught Chen Yong's attention when they first went to Yanmen County for sale.

If it were ordinary merchants, the group of Chen Yong's men would have already started beating people and grabbing goods.

But as soon as the cloth was guarded by a businessman from the Qin State, and the guy was still in his hand, he dared not act rashly.

These "Qin merchants" were actually Mengliang's personal guards. It was only because the Qin law stipulated that Shiwu were not allowed to engage in business, and they disguised themselves as merchants to avoid suspicion and to avoid frightening the people from buying cloth.

At this time, the Qin people and the original Zhao people are still very easy to distinguish, for example, the clothes, hair ties, accents, etc. are different.

It was not long after Yanmen County was incorporated into the territory of the State of Qin. The people of the entire Yanmen County can be said to be "diao people."

So the nursing home could only report to Chen Yong, and Chen Yong thought about it and said:

"Maybe it's just that those Qin people are in urgent need of money to sell cloth at a low price. More than a thousand pieces are not too many, and they will be sold out."

That's what Chen Yong said, and he hopes so.

However, the facts disappointed him. These Qin people repeatedly transported the cloth to Yanzhong County for sale, and they were nearly a thousand pieces in one shipment.

Is this okay?

Didn't this continue to smash Chen Yong's job?

But Chen Yong thought about it, and felt that he still didn't dare to be rough with the Qin people... At this time, the people of Qin were Shang Citizens, and if they went to the county guard, they would help them to speak.

So Chen Yong decided to lower the cloth price.

In his words:

"I waited to lower the cloth price so that these Qin merchants' cloths could not be sold, so they would naturally sell them elsewhere."

"At that time, I will adjust the cloth price back, or even higher."

Chen Yong's wishful thinking was very loud, and after Qin Shang left, he increased the cloth price... In fact, there was no loss for him.

But what he didn't expect was that what Shen Bing wanted to do was a long-term business, and Yanmen County was the closest stop to Yunzhong County, and it was also the first battle fought by the textile workshop. How will the cloth of Yunzhong County gain a foothold in Yanmen County?!

When Fusu saw this information, he asked:

"What should we do now?"

Fatty said without thinking:

"Of course the price is reduced!"

"I'm waiting for a lot of room for price reduction, even if it is reduced to 20 yuan without losing money, I'm afraid he won't make it?"

Fusu frowned and said:

"But... as the general said before."

"If I wait for it to lower the price, the price of cloth will become lower, and the people will lose too much?"

Shen Bing replied:

"So you can't cut the price, but buy it!"

Fusu asked in surprise:

"What does the general mean?"

Shen Bing explained:

"At the normal price, I sold it for forty-five and he sold it for forty."

"He sold it for thirty-eight dollars. If I buy it, I can earn two dollars per horse..."

When Fu Su heard this, he couldn't help but froze:

"The general meant that I was waiting to buy the cloth from the other party?"

Shen Bing nodded and said:

"Exactly."

The fat man asked puzzledly:

"General!"

"I am clearly able to make a good cloth at a cost of more than ten dollars. Why buy a bad cloth for thirty-eight dollars?"

Shen Bing replied:

"This is a question of purchasing power."

"If I wait to lower prices, a large number of people in Yanmen County who need cloth will buy in this lower price."

"As a result, purchasing power drops."

"But if I wait for a full acquisition and no one else can buy it, it will have little effect on purchasing power."

"When I wait for the price to be adjusted back to the original price, those bad cloths bought at a low price can make money."

Fusu was a little dizzy, his face seemed to understand.

But the fat man suddenly realized after listening, he nodded in agreement.

This is actually not complicated.

After all, the initiative is entirely in Shen Bing's hands. Shen Bing has sufficient funds because he can make paper and has the violence of hydroweaving.

Unless the opponent is rich and enemy country... In fact, even the rich and enemy country may not be able to fight Shen Bing.

Under this circumstance, if a price war is waged, the opponent will be in a state of "never died"... Every time Shen Bing buys a piece of cloth, the opponent loses a certain amount of money until he buys it and sells it. At that time, the price will not change How does Shen Bing decide?

And during this price war, as long as Shen Bing buys it fast enough, the "rigid demand" who really needs to "weave" cannot buy cloth at all.

So "just need" is still "just need", and they can only buy when the price pulls back.

This is actually a kind of protection for the people...Because the "just need" has not been excessively released, the cloth in the hands of the people can still be sold for forty dollars as long as the price war is over.

The only loss was the guy who tried to fight the price war with Shen Bing.

Although Shen Bing did not know who he was at this time.

So there was nothing to say, and Shen Bing hurriedly shipped a batch of paper to Taiyuan County for sale.

The reason why they were not shipped to Yanmen County but shipped to Taiyuan County for sale was because Shen Bing was worried about attracting the attention of this profiteer... If he realized that the paper and the cloth were all made by the same person, he would feel the strength of the other side and rush back. , Then Shen Bing lost a big fish.

As I said before, paper is "robbing the rich and helping the poor", so Shen Bing feels comfortable with money.

The paper was quickly removed, and funds were raised in just a few days.

In addition, the surplus from the previous cloth sales was sent to Meng Liang, and then Shen Bing issued the purchase order...
